CHURCH BURNED
Brick Church at MiddIesex Struck by
Lightning.

Middlesex, July 10.-The brick
church here in which union services
are held was struck and fired during
a heavy electrical storm at 10 O'Clock
tonight and before the fire could be
extinguished the church edifice had
been Quilted, only the four walls being
left standing The same agencies
which were responsible for the con
tiagration operated TO prevent its
spread, and the steady downpour OF
rain saved the house of Gilbetr Miles
nearby, from destruction.
The loss to the church property
was $4,000, but the building was in all
probability heavily enough insured to
cover the damage.
The fire fighting apparatus at Mid
dleseX is primitive and only chemi.
Gals were available. The citizens ap
pealed to Montpelier for help, and a
hand engine was gotten ready and
the firemen had turned out when
word came that the flames were un
der control.
Members of the congregations us
ing the edifice gathered and removed
all the portable furnishings. possible
but the pews and other heavy proper
ty were destroyed.

PoRTUGAL'S REVOLUTION
RoyaIists Strong in North and Evade
Troops.

Troops.
Lisbon, July 10-The royalist reb.
els in the north of Portugal again
outmaneuvered the republican govern
ment troops today. After the san
culinary encounter Of yesterday at
the town of Cabeceiras de Basto
which was held in strong force by
the royalists who defeated the Fifth
regiment of infantry, reinfOrcements
of government troops were rushed to
the scene of the fighting and-a strong
Gordon of infantry this morning ad-
vanced slowly ON the town, pouring
in a heavy fire as they went forward.
A few scattered shots were the only
response TO this attack and when the
final assault on the town was made
by the government troops with fixed
bayonets, the streets were found de
serted and all the houses were empty
The inhabitants TO a man had with
drawn to the mountains with the roy
alists and are now hidden in rocky
shelters along the passes.
Unless the Portuguese government
decides to weaken the garrisons of
Lisbon and Oporto, which would be
a dangerous measure to take, in view
of the possibility of revolutionary out
breaks in the big cities, ii seems like
ly that the royalist warfare in the
northern provinces is likely to con.
tinue for some time. The royalists
retreat into Spain whenever they are
hard pushed by the government
troops
AS the frontier is very mountainous
it offers many safe retreats to the
royalists whose rowing bands are thus
able to hold in check the superior
forces of the government.

Washington. July 10-The right of
William Lorimer of Illinois to his
seat in the United States Senate will
be decided within the next 4S hours
This much seemed certain after to
days seven hours discussion featur-

Senator Lorimer, who occupied
several days in his self-defense in the
last Congress, may conclude in or
session, but general discussion
likely to postpone action until F.
Mr.. Johnson condemned Theodore
Roosevelt for refusal to sit at the
same table with Lorimer and, like
Senator Dillingham;, declared that he
would vote for Lorimer even If il cost
him his own seat. Senator Jones al
so criticised Col Roosevelt for heap
ing 'obloquy" on Lorimer and charg.
ed that President Taft had attempted
to influence senators. the judges in
the case, against Lorimer.
