The Assassins- Manuel Proclaimed King- And Franco Government
Swept
LISBON, Feb. 4.-The council of state Wiley _ issued a proclamation, declaring Prince Manuel, King of Portugal ,in succession to King Cup 105. W110. with the Crown Prince, was shot down by assassins yeseer. day. V All Portugal is in mourning today
for the king and crown prince, who, yesterday, met death at the hands of a band of assassins. In this city there is to be seen on e_very hand evidence of sincere sorrow. A flood of tclegrams from every section gf the country express only grief Ove,- the tragedy and assurance to the an_ thorities of support from the people, Already, it is apparent that -the not of assassins hzfs had a result direct- ly opposite to what they desired. That the monarchy will continue, there seems no doubt at this moment The leaders of all the monarchist parties, from the most conservmive to those where the most advance.) ideas prevail, have reached a com- plete agreement to this effect nm] they are bending all their efforts to- ward the maintenance of order in the country.
TWO OF THE
Assassms sham.
After the attack upon the film; nn
Saturday, the royal guard instantly gulloped in the direction of the as- sassins and pursued them down the street, tiring repeatedly and Lxinmng to earth two of the mur'ir~rers, rid- dling them with bullets. The people on all sides dr6_\ll.'back as, the areas- sins dashed away from the cawiuge, brandishing their weapons. They cleared the way before them, but a portion of the crowd followed the soldiers in pursuit and succeeded in capturing three of the men who had escaped the bullets from the troops’ revolvers.
Meanwhile an unhappy scene was
in progress at the royal carriage, where King Carlos lay already dead, the crown prince, unconscious and breathing his last, and Prince Man- uel, with blood streaming from his mouth, leaning over the slain father and his dying brother. The royal. family werii returning from Villa Viscosa, where they had been sojourning and were on their way from the railroad station to the palace. A strong guard was in at- tendance, because of the recent op-_ pression in the city and the discov- ery of a plot toA_ass__as§inate Premier Franco Candova. But the band of murderers had selected the most ad- vantageous spot for the commission of their crime, for 'they ,were con- cealed from the eyes of the police until the carriage had wheeled into the Praco De Commercio, a large square. V
ASSASSINB
FIRED A VOLLEY.
Before any of the guard were a-
wnre of what was happening the ns- sassins had covered tbatcarrlaga and instantly a fusilade of shots rung out. In a moment all was ,terrible con- fusion, the king an Ctown Prince being shot dowuwifhout the slight' est chance to save themselves. -Po- lice guards sprang upon the regicidcs
the number of whom is somewhat un-.
certain and killed three of them and captured three others. One of these committed suicide after being placed in prlson'. It is charged that one of the murderers was a Spaniard nam- ed Cardove.. ° ‘ » ' The bodies of the King and Crown

LISBON
PANIC STRICKEN.
'The news of the assassination
swept through the city like fire through dry grass and tonight half the population is panic-stricken, not knowing where' the next blow may fall. There is the greatest dread for the future of the country, which seems on the verge of being plunged into the awful throes of revolution with all the attending horrors and bloodshed. Throughout the city con- sternation reigns and all the houses and business places are barricaded.
Au examination of the wounds of
the king, who was already dead when he reached the arsenal, showed that three bullets had found their mark. One of the wounds was situated at the nape of the neck and a second at the shoulder, and a third, _which was the fatal one, severed the caro- tid artery. The 'Crown Prince, who was still breathing, but who died immediately, after admission to the arsenal, had suffered three wounds, in the head and chest. Two bullets had struck Prince Manuel, one on the lower jaw and the other in the arm. .
Queen Maria Pia, the mother of
King Carlos, the Duke of Opolo, his brother, a number of ministers and court officials hastened at once to the arsenal when the news reached them of the attack on the royal fam- ily.
At the first blush it would seem
‘as though the assassination was the work ol anarchists and not ofRe- publican sympathizers. Nevertheless the stirring events of the last few weeks has prepared the people for a startling culmination. ,
A PLOT TO
DESTROY MONARCHY.
The discovery of plot after plot as
well as the discovery of many sec- secrct stores of weapons and ammun- ition, had demonstrated beyond doubt of the existence of a deter- mination on the part of a large body of Portuguese to overthrow the monarchy and proclaim a republic.
A WAY TO BETTER BREAD.
Good housckcepers, it is said, are
known by the bread and pastry they provide for their homes. When we come to think of it, is there any one thing in which a housekeeper should excel in which she should take more pride--than in her snowy, delicious, wholesome homemade bread?
Any woman can make white, light,
nourishing bread. One of the com- monest causes of failures in the bak- ing is the use of poor flour. Flour made of Ontario fall wheat alone, though nutritious and faultless as to flavor, is not strong enough. Mani- toba wheat, on the other hand, is deficient in fine flavour and delicacy, aunouga run 6f strength.
A blend of the two has been found
to give wonderful results. This does notsay that you can mix them at home, it is difficult to do that cx- cept with tbe finest and most dcli- cate machinery. Many of the best millers are blending the rich Ontario fall wheat with the fiinty Manitoba wheat thus bringing out all the good qualities of both.
Witlt this Ontario blended Flour,
you will have no trouble in making light white bread-bread with that peculiarly sweet, wholesome taste which one naturally associates with
home-made bread.

The tragdey occurred about -5.30
o'clock in the afternoon, but the panic which instantly gripped the city and all its active movements prostrated 'the lines ofcommunica- tion and it _was not for some hours that the news oi the assassination was permitted to be sent broadcast.

Twenty-Seven Mlin 'Could Stoke The Lusifania. She Now Requires Three Hundred a'nd Twelve
LONDON, Feby. 4.~A striking tes- timony to the value of oil fuel is given by J. J. Kermodc, M. I, Mech. E., who recently conducted some experiments on behalf of the Admiralty. » He states that if the Lusitania
were fitted for burning oil fuel she would require only twenty-seven men in the stokeholds, us compared with 312 necessary with coal, She would be able to carry 4,000 tons more cargo and at least 250 additional passengers, while the time for the transatlantic voyage would be redn- ced by eight hours. '
With the advent of petroleum as a
fuel for warships there has come in- to existence a type of ship specially, built for carrying the`oil not only from the place of its origin to the naval depots but also for accompany- ing fleets to sea, As the con.l-carry- ing ship's`are called colliers, so the new vessels will be called "oilers.”
The Admiralty already posses two of these vessels, the Kharki and Piet- roleum, and another is fitting o_ut‘for the purpose in Shccrness dockyard. Under the nnme of Thistle she was
purchased from a private company, and she has been rechristened Isla.
A great deal of work has been nec-
essary, both in the way of fitting up the interior with tanks and also in repairing the boilers, which were found to be defective. When com< pleted she will be attached to the submarine fiotillas. `

LONDON, Feb. 4.-For the first
time in its history the Royal Mint
last year used aluminum for coinage purposes. 1n`ull 3i,872,,134 coins were struck from this metal, these com- prising half-cent. pieces for use in Uganda and one-tenth of a penny pieces for clrcnlntion in the Nigerian Protectorates. ‘ -
A good deal of Imperial silverflnds
its way to the west coast of Africa, much of it going into northern Nig- eria. Bronze coins also circulate to some extent on the coast, but it is very r\a.re'fo`r them to be met with in the interior. In these regions the little shells' known as cowries, the value' of* which is continually duc- tuatingf"heifig highest in the remotcr districtsflinve hitherto formed the medium folwlxchange.
"It is hd¥hd that these small nl- uminium cc' ns will gradually take their place _as the medium for ex- change," stated Ellison Maeartney, Deputy Master of the Mint. "They bade a fixed value, which plight to be
obgreat advantage to the native ns viell as to he general trade of the country." »
The new coins are perforated in the centre to ' permit the natives to string' them together as has been their habit with the cowries from time iiiiinemorial.

Curious Instances Of The Working 0fThe Act To Pr¢vent Frand
LONDON, Feb. 3-Some interesting
examples of the frauds the sale of food and drugs act is designed to prevent are given in the annual re-
port of t`he intelligence division of the Board of Agriculture under the act. The cases of milk adult-:.*a'.'ion in 1906 numbered 4,678. In one case it was reported that a milk vend-ir keeps a cow which is known to si\e milk of a vory low quality. .ln the event of a samplo_of the milk from thisdairy being found on analysis to fall below thc limit refcmiice is al- ways madc to this cow.
Sometimes the sampling officers
make mistakes. In one case, for in- stance, nn officer visited the shop of a milk vendor who kept several cows und demanded a sample of milk. As there was no milk in the shop atthe time the woman in charge, in order to comply with his request, \vcnt in- to the cowshed and drew the requir- ed amount of milk fromvnnc of the cows. The analyst, not knowing the milk was pure milk, certified adul- tcration, but naturally the case was dismissed.
The adultcration of butter is an-
_other common kind of fraud, 1,219
cases being reported during the year. In one case' a company doing an ex- tensive butter husines at Bridge- water was convicted of selling butter which was udulterated to the extent of 20 per cent. with foreign fat. The
maximpm fine was imposed which, with costs, amounted to $462.25,but it was estimated that the company had made aproflt of the fraud of $17,250. `

How A Londoner Comes To A Decision On The
Subject.
1,oNDoN, Fen. 3-\v1u¢n is nie
noisier-London or the country? This question is suggested by an amus- ing speech made by Dr. Robinson, the town clerk of Shoreditch, at the conclusion of the inquiry on behalf of the Charity Commissioners into the application of the Ironmonger‘s Company to remove their almshouse from Kingsland road.
“The reasons for the removal are
sentimental," Dr. Robinson declared; "probably the site was always noisy. The coaches going to York in the old days made quite as much noise as any London County Council tramcnr does to-day. If the old
ladies (the occupants of the alms- houses) think they are going to es- cape noise by remowing to the coun- try they will be bitterly disappoint- cd. I live in the country myself, and I am oftenawnkened at 1 o’clock_in the morning bythe passing of nn old wheezing, croaking motor car _bc- longing to his Majesty's Post Office.
“If people want to know what. dust
and noise and stink mean, let them them go into the country, where there is no police commissioner 'to stop motor-omnibuscs from carry- ing on their infernal traffic. ‘
"To take only one night out of my
life: There is a corncrake rasping outside my door 'till 10 o’clock. Then I am awakened by a nightingale-a hird which makes music for a quar- ter of an hour, but becomes trouble- some it sings for two hours. When that ceases a cow begins bellowing. Then a dog hears the local police-
man walking down tha street and barks for an hour. At dawn the birds begin again. Londonlis the one place where people can get rest from such noises."
The inquiry was closed.
