Attention might be called to the fact
that in comparison with the stock eX-

LISBON, July 9.-That the present
revolutionary movement in northern
Portugal Is the best organized that
has yet assailed the present republic
was admitted by officials at the pal
ace today.
They insisted, however, that the
movement to crush II out Is fully as
formidable and that there Is no doubt
of the ultimate outcome although
there will be much fighting before
peace is finally restored
King Manuel who is anxious to re-
gain his throne, laid the plans for the
present movement in his several con-
ferences recently with Dom Miguel
and the latter's sons.
Spanish Carlists Aid.
1t is openly charged here that the
Spanish Carlists are aiding the move
ment and that the Spanish govern
laws of neutrality.
There was renewed fighting at
Chaves last night. Under cover of
the darkness the royalists attacked
the town and were not repulsed for
several hours, during which the losses
on both sides were very large.
The garrison charged the attacking
party and finally put 1t to rout, TAX
ing many prisoners, including a num-
Der of well-known royalist officers.
Reserves Ordered Out.
The government force sent to attack
the royalists at Cabeceiras- Basto have

Philadelphia Girl Is
Wed After Forty Years

The wedding at Philadelphia OF Sam
uel Hauptil. of Dinuba, Cal. and Miss
Anna Murset, Of Philadelphia, was the
elimination of a romance which began
forty years ago, when the couple were
childhood sweethearts in Switzerland.
The two were separated thirty years
ago and had not seen each other since
until last summer. Hauptil left his
Swiss home when he was eighteen years
old and came to America. He succeeded
and became proprietor of raisin farm
in California. He never married, re-
membering the sweetheart of his child
hood.
Anna also came to America and set
tied in Philadelphia. where she opened
store. She also remained single.
Last August Samuel visited his home
IN Switzerland and learned that Miss
Murset was in Philadelphia. He found
her, and she sold her store and began
to plan for the wedding.

Stock Market Declines After Strong AdUanee
PRICES RECOVER LOST GROUND,
LED BY LEHIGH, STEEL, READ
ING AND COPPER.

NEW YORK, July 9.--The market to-
day is undergoing a substantial rally
from yesterdays slump. Opening gem
orally higher most stocks sold from
fractions to a point higher during the
morning hours. The advance was led
by the Rails, Steels, Shelters and the
Coppers. The selling movement of yes
terday turns out to have been largely
q shaking out process in anticipation OF
the Government crop report. The Will
son scare which the bears paraded with
80 much noise was in reality ruse to
cover the real cause of the decline in
the adverse bank report of Saturday.
The large fact in the situation is a
emoorary tightening up in the money
market. 1t is understood that some
loans on call have been cashed In and
that the banks and financial Institutions
will probably call other loans. This
naturally throws considerable loose
stock on the market in one form and
another. and the decline of yesterday
was the result. This stock has now
been largely absorbed at a lower price
and the logical effect is for prices to
advance to a recovery of the lost
ground. The movement began we'll and
