service and other departments should
work together upon comprehensive plan's.
The action of this board, he said, should
cover all questions relating to the Im
provement of rivers, construction of
canals and kindred matters.

tate the creation by the Nation of great
corporations which are to handle the
commerce of the country.

Lisbon Conspirators Keep Po
lice Squad at Bay.
TWENTY ARRESTED LATER
City Is Outwardly Calm but Tense
Kxcitement Follows Frequent
Rumors of Plots and Raids
by the Police Force.
LISBON. Jan. 30. For the purpose of
escaping the censorship the following dis
patch is sent to the frontier for trans
mission: '
Lisbon Is outwardly calm, but there is
a steady Increase of nervousness and ex
citement among all classes of the popula
tion owing to the constant rumors of plot
and counter-plot, and the persistent activ
ity of the police, who daily and nightly
examine the houses of suspects and make
arrests.
On the night of January "29 there waa
a bloody light in a small restaurant on
the outskirts of Lisbon. Suspecting the
presence of a crowd of consipratora, the
police surrounded and raided the res
taurant. The authorities were right in
the surmise and they found the plotters
armed with revolvers. The policemen
were met by a volley of bullets, and one
of them was killed and four were
wounded.
The conspirators managed to keep the
guardians of the law and order at bay
until they made their escape. Later the
same night a score of suspected agitators
were arrested and imprisoned' in one of
the fortresses.
There is almost a reign of terror among
the Republicans- and dissident Pro
gressists, and several of the leaders of
these parties, including Deputy Almedia.
Deputy Costa and discount Reberia have
been thrown in prison. The house of
Senor Alpoin, another of the dissident
leaders, is under constant police sur
veillance. Acting on Information received from
the secret service, the police have raid
ed several houses and discovered large
stores of revolvers and ammunition. A
lieutenant of customs and many indi
viduals were arrested and charged with
conspiracy.
A government organ declares that
the recurrent agitation and demonstra
tions spring from the same source as
the recent plot to proclaim a republic,
but that the government Is determined
to adopt all measures necessary to en
sure order and the preservation of the
monarchy.

CHARITY IS MISAPPLIED
John Burns Scoffs at Methods and
Gives Germany Hap.
LrONJiOX. Jan. SO. Participating In the
debate in the House of Commons tonight
on the question of the unemployed, John
Burns, president of the Local Govern
ment Board and labor leader in the
House, denounced the unscientific dis
tribution of religious, philanthropic and
private charity, which, he declared, was
unusually misapplied and diverted to the
wrong persons. He told one of his own
experiences recently when, after an of
ficial function, he joined 3000 of the un
employed at the Victoria Embankment.
"I was in my court dress," he said, "hut
pulled my hat 'over my eyes and looked
miserable, and I got my bowl of soup
and hunch of bread."
Mr Burns admitted that pauperism in
London is on the increase and said, it
would continue to grow as long as indis
criminate charity prevailed.
Turning to the tariff reformers, who,
he said, were accustomed to compare the
prosperity of Germany under protection
with the condition of free trade in Eng
land to the detriment of the latter, the
labor leader declared that there was a
less percentage of pauperism in London
than in Berlin, that the health of the peo
ple here is better, and that Berlin beat
London In nothing but the measles.
Mr. Burns statement that the scheme
of Herbert H. Asquith. chancellor of
the exchequer, for old age pensions
would provide for 1.000.C00 people, at
tracted much attention In the lobbies
afterward. Nothing hitherto had leaked
out with reference to the Intentions of
the government, but It was generally as-
