TOUCHES POPULAR CHORD. King Manuel Recommends Reforms and People Cheer. Lisbon, April 30 The Portuguese Cortes reassembled today, the eighty-second anniversary of the es tablishment of constitutional govern ment In Portugal. The royal mourn ing for the late King Carlos and his son was suspended for the occasion. King Manuel was respectfully greet ed by the people. King Manuel proceeded to the Cortes, accompanied by many digni taries of the state and escorted by a strong guard of ' troops. The floor of the chamber was filled with dep uties and the galleries were crowded with a brilliant audience. His Majesty slowly mounted the tribune that had been erected for his use. His address, which he read In strong and fuil tones, was a most pathetic and at the same time a practical and vigorous discourse, cal culated to win the sympathy of the people. He touched upon the trag edy of February 1, when his father and his brother were shot down as "the cruel disappearance of my fath er and brother." a railroad train. Mrs. Warkentln and her son Carl accompanied the body. The cable dispatches announcing the shooting, said that it waa done by a Syrian who occupied a compart ment on the train adjoining that in which Mr. Warkentln was seated. The Syrian said he was examining his revolver and that it went off by mistake. Ambassador Leishman, at Constantinople, reported the shoot ing to the state department. He said assurance had been given him that the Syrian would be brought to jus tice if the act proved to be one of murder. Carl Warkentln said today that the man who killed his father was a Turkish Prince and that Mr. Irish man told his mother that it would be imposseble to prosecute him and advised her to say no more about the matter. From his remarks it was apparent that Mr. Warkentln was of the opin ion that Mr. Leishman had not done all that he could, and he Intimated president's source of no-,,,... ,.a tv,! a t ta'. strength in the naval fight which has Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, of-'well Thls code 8(;cret and or been waged so strenuously fered an amendment to fh sundry , , . h .

Santa Barbara, Cal., April 29. There were no fixed features Santa Barbara's entertainment pro gram in honor of the Atlantic bat tleship fleet today, the officers and men being largely allowed to pursue their own ways. Many of the latter went to Los Angeles to spend the day, and will over-stay their leaves, which expire at 1 a. m. The amusements offered the blue jackets in Santa Barbara are natur ally rather meager, owing to the size the United States in the front rank of naval progression, but which fails to place it in the position of dictat ing a cessation of naval aggression. That the president, on the whole, is pleased with the result of his ef forts with congress on this subject, was made manifest tonight; that he firmly believes in the ability of the United States to dictate the naval on policy of the world in the future, though overwhelmingly outstripping us in naval construction.

Such legislation, he says, will be in the interest of both the decent corporations and the law-abiding labor unions. In this connection, he sounds a warning to the labor lead ers who have objected to the inclu sion of labor organizations in the Unti-trust law amendment, and says plainly that the exception of the unions from the operation of the law would render the measure invalid. A strong effort has been made to have labor organizations completely exempted from the operations of the law, whether or not their operations Such ex emption would make the bill uncon stitutional. It is not possible wholly to exempt labor organizations from the workings of this law, and they who insist upon wholly exempting them are merely providing that their status shall be kept wholly un changed, and that they shall con tinue to be exposed to the action which they now dread.
