1 8 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 15, 1907. TRY ONE-MAN RULE King of Portugal Turns to Dic tator to End Abuses. MACHINE RULE A FAILURE Alternate Ministries of Two Corrupt Parties Caused Carlos to Make Franco Dictator to Clean Out Graft. BY MANUEL Rl'BERO. LISBON, Sept. 14. (Special.) Revo lution has been checkmated in Portu gal, at least for the present. The re cent attempt to assassinate King Car los and the Premier has led to the ar rest of 30 Republican leaders. It is believed that this action on the part of the government will bring: to a head one of the gravest political struggles fought out in Portugal since constitu tional government began. Dom Carlos dissolved the Cortes, n-hich had become little more than an arena of corrupt factions, and took the strong but necessary step of refusing to name a date for the convoking of a new Parliament. He swept out of office for the time being both of the parties which held and quitted office by ar rangement, changed places with the mechanical regularity of the figures in a Dutch clock, and battened with equal rapacity upon the country. Each of them in the last few years had ob tained majorities by the usual manipu lation at the polls in a land where the vast majority of people never go near the ballot boxes. Kach of them has failed to govern against the obstruc tion of the Assembly temporarily de funct, and the growing violence and daring of the Republican agitation. King Finds Young Dictator. Each of the regular parties, now ex cluded from office and its sweets, begged in turn to be intrusted with a dictatorship. King Carlos could have entrusted it to either without seeming to range himself against the other. He was impartial between them, end the peasants, with the more solid class in the towns, were weary of both. But in Portugal, as elsewhere, the King's government had to be car ried on. Don Carlos called to his aid a new man young, brilliant and fear less. This was Senhor Joao Franco. He had been for a time Minister of the Interior In the party of the Re generators, who correspond to "Con servatives," so far as any names agree with realities in Portuguese' party politics. The other organization Is that of the Progressists, who believe that they are the more liberal section of the two. Senhor lranco separated himself from his old associates and formed a new party of men, whose programme might be described as National Lib eral or Liberal Unionist one of those combinations of a strongly patriotic creed with enlightened domestic prin ciples by which the best work in the policy of all the great countries has from time to time been done. Senhor Franco could form a following in the country, but he could carry no parlia mentary seats against the power of the regular machines. He had proved his independence by trenchant criti cism even of the court. In May last year King Carlos took the decisive step of entrusting him with the for mation of a cabinet over the heads of both the factions, Regenerators and Progressists alike, who believed they had a consecrated right to alternate in office at convenient periods. Franco May Save Portugal. Senhor Franco became a Premier with out a party. He is exercising what is called the dictatorship until he can make one. He is undoubtedly making one. and it might be the salvation of Portugal if this Minister, prepared to devote his life to the campaign against waste, corrup tion and incompetence, were able to rally around him a sufficient number of fol lowers to create the basis of a reform ing majority in a new Cortes. In spite of the interested declarations against tyranny which have been pub lished throughout Europe by the ex-members of the late Portuguese Duma, liberty loving minds must not be unduly excited by the term "dictate-.." In Portugal the Dlctatura is a recognized institution, and means only that countries which cannot be governed through Parliaments must sometimes be governed without them un til the national spirit crushes faction or the cabals of office-seekers return to a better mind. For more than a generation after the Peninsular War the Portuguese were governed by nothing but dictator ships of one kind or another. Now they are no longer chronic, but they are re current. The Dlctatura is always held in reserve, and most governments have been compelled to have recourse to it for longer or shorter periods, even under the Parliamentary regime of the last half century. The process Is less agonizing and more useful than the name suggests. The people are as indifferent under the occasional regime of administrative des potism to the wrath of the party which does not happen to be the one in power as were the medieval market women to the Wars of the Roses in England. A ministry conducting affairs by a dictator ship legislates as n rule without Parlia mentary assistance, carries its measures without the aid of an opposition, enforces them without asking a majority for a superfluous expression of its support, holds elections at a suitable time, ap pears before the chastened Cortes recalled by these methods into life, and asks and receives in due course an indemnity for all its nominally illegal proceedings. Making War on Graft. Senhor Franco is in a different position, and muv be able to carrv to the end a really thorough treatment of the consti-1 tutional complaint. He. is a Premier without a party in the orthodox sense. That is by far the most hopeful fact in the situation. With this dictatorship the work is no necessary but unwelcome, in terruption of the office-seekers' opportun ist game. Senhor Franco is overhauling the accoi.nt3 and revising the whole system of national bookkeeping. He Is stopping tne vicious system of supple mentary credits by which the handsome balance regularly annouhced upon the pro duction of every budget was turned into another deficit before the end of every session. He is putting down sinecures and pluralities. He is also putting down with an unflinching hand, as he la entitled to do, the Republican movement, excited to fever during- the last two or three years by sympathy with the Russian rev olution and that hysterical Idolatry of the Duma to which unreflecting Demo crats have given way in every land un der heaven. Threat to Assassinate King. The true character of the revolu tionary movement in Portugal was shown last November, when the Repub lican Deputy, Senhor Affonso Costa at tacked the person of Dom Carlos, and apostrophised him in the Cortes as fol lows: "Senhor, go; .withdraw, out of the land, lest prison be your portion." And when called to order, the Deputy con tinued: "Iitake back nothing. For less than King Carlos has done the head of Louis XVI roiled on the scaffold." To emphasize the serious signifi cance of this incident, the Spanish Re publican dispatched to Lisbon enthu siastic telegrams of congratulation. The great strength of the Reds In Por tugal is in the two principal cities, Lisbon and Oporto. They have no hold upon the peasants. The Republicans, In a word, are a small minority of the population. There 18 no doubt that they can be grappled with successful ly. There is scarcely less doubt that the struggle must be waged some time, and had best be fought out now; and there will be rejoicing if the conspir acy of assassination, happily discov ered and foiled, carries forward with a sweep the work' of ranging all the best elements of the nation behind King Carlos and his dictator. The King means well. It is difficult to see what other measures were open to him. He wished to reign constitution ally. It has been his misfortune, not his fault, if arbitrary rule has been made a necessity. Carlos and His Queen. The King, Carlos I, was born Sep tember 2.S. 1SG3, so that he is nearing the completion of his, fourty-fourth year. By a rare coincidence, his Queen, Amelle, was born at Twickenham on the same day two years later. The King was educated at Oporto by Por tuguese professors, and after his edu cation was ended he made a tour of Europe. He possesses what is rather the happy forte of kings a remarkable knowledge of languages. He speaks seven, five of them fluently. With English he is quite at home. Like his father, ho is a Shakespearean scholar. Dom Luis translated "The Merchant of Venice," "Othello," and "Hamlet" Into Portuguese, and In this reproduction. It Is said, the present sovereign took part. He was then Duke of Braganza, and was known throughout the king dom as a keen sportsman and the fin est shot in the country. Queen Amelle ranks among the most gifted women of her age. She was for a while best known In the land of her adoption as a great sportswoman. She Is a powerful swimmer, and, was award ed the gold medal of the Royal Hu mane Society for saving two children from drowning in the Tagus. But the Queen possesses distinguished Intel lectual gifts. She studied medicine, passed her examination and obtained & degree, and is thus the only Queen M. D. extant. Her majesty has made a specialty of nursing, much to the ad vantage of her subjects. At her own expense she maintains a dispensary and hospital for the sick children of the poor, and all over the country she la known for her Interest in the work. Among the reforms which she preaches -to her own sex is the discon tinuance of tight-lacing. Her majesty was delighted when the Rontgen rays were discovered. She photographed, by the aid of the rays, a tight-laced lady, and thereby was able to prove how pernicious the habit is, and to show the deformity caused by undue pressure on the internal organs. It has been said that the Queen's pre cept and example have diminished tight-lacing in Portugal. NEW LIFE IN FAMOU SCAMP Cooke City, Where Chief Joseph Got His Silver Bullets. HELENA. Mont.. Sept. 13. (Special.) Cooke City, in Southeastern Mon tana, is evidently the Mecca of a party of surveyors for the Northern Pacific, and with the discovery of rich copper ore in one of its many mines, the famous early-day camp bids fair to achieve fame again. In connection with the history of Cooke City, two in teresting stories aro told. Cooke City was named after Jay Cooke, the Eastern financier. In the early days it was noted as a silver producer, there being many very rich mines and a large smelter. At the time the Northern Pacific started to build westward from the Missouri River the residents of Bismarck were In the dark as to its destination. At an impromptu gathering this question was discussed. Man after man ventured an opinion, one that it would turn south and go to New Orleans; another to Portland; still another to Helena; another to Puget Sound and so on. Finally, one tall, lanky fellow opined that he knew positively, and, upon being questioned, stated that he had a letter from St. Paul declaring that Cooke City would be the terminus "where there's enough ore In sight to keep busy all the cars the company has and then some." Along In the seventies the Sioux In dians were most active In Montana, and among the generals who had given them battle was Philip Sheridan. Chief Joseph was in command of the rene gade red men and a strategist Indeed was he. At a time when Sheridan's chase was becoming rather warm, the Indians ran out of lead with which to manufacture bullets. Chief Joseph was at that time In the vicinity of Cooke City, and he planned a raid on the smelter. This was most effectually carried out, and everything in the form of bullion was seized, and a portion of it was melted into bullets at the smelter. Incidentally, the reds took everything else that appeared val uable and was portable. Sheridan soon afterward had a skir mish with the marauders, and the re sult was surprising in that some of the soldiers were shot down with silver bullets. Still others were found lying on the ground by the Federal troops. Sheridan could not account for this until he learned of the raid, and he de clared them the most expensive bullets on record. Cooke City is situated on the border of the Yellowstone Park, and to reach it snowslioes are necessary four or five months out of the year. The new copper strike, showing 14 per cent of ore, will doubtless induce the construc tion of a railroad, the permanency of the mines established. ROYALTY IS IN POVERTY Old Princess of Burma A'alnly Begs Britain for Help. CALCUTTA, Sept. 14. (Special.) Cer tain descendants of the late King of Bur ma are existing in Calcutta in the most miserable poverty on a mere pittance al lowed them by the Indian Government. There Is one old lady. In particular, whose only support is a few shillings a week. A short time ago she presented a petition to the Indian government to be allowed to return to her own country, where she believed that she would find friends who would at least help her to keep body and soul together. The petition was summarily rejected by the Indian government. Her sympathizers contend that, seeing that the British government filched her family's country from her, surely It behooves them to see that the poor woman does not die of starvation. Last year the gross profits on the re served forests of Burma were estimated at 600,000 pounds sterling. S. T. VETERINARY COLLEGE Opens October 1.

EXPERTS HAVE ARRIVED Sending Stations Will Be Placed on AH Lightships on the Coast Umatilla Reef First Re ceivers on All Tenders. Representatives of the Submarine Signal Company, which has contracted to Install apparatus in the light vessels and tenders on the Pacific Coast, have reached Port land and the work of placing a sending station on board the Lightvessel No. 67, now at the Tongue Point Buoy station, will begin tomorrow. Umatilla Reef Lightship No. 67 will be the first craft on the Pacific Coast to be equipped with apparatus of the Sub marine Signal Company. Her station is off Flattery and her place is now being filled by relief vessel No. 76. Immediately following the repairs to the Umatilla Reef ship a plant will be installed on the Co lumbia River lightship No. 50 and receiv ing plants will be placed on the tenders Heather and Columbine.

Armeria, which was recently brought around from New York, Is supplied with a receiving plant and is ready for service as soon as the senders are in position. With the equipping of the lightvessels in the Thirteenth District the experts of the Summarine Signal Company will pro ceed to San Francisco, the headquarters of the Twelfth Lighthouse District, and will Install plants In the craft attached to that district. With the sending appliances on board all the light vessels on the Coast and re ceivers on all the tenders, it will be only a matter of a short time until all merchant vessels will be equipped in a similar manner. The advantages which will acrue to the shipping interests are manifold. During thick or foggy weather a vessel can oe picked up for a distance of from 4 to 8 miles. The submarine signal system is oper ated by means of a system of bells which are rung beneath the surface of the ocean. The water acts as a conductor and the receiving plant on the approach ing vessel picks up the sound. Practical ly all trans-Atlantic boats are now equip ped with the submarine signals. TWO SAILERS ARE CHARTERED Balfour, Guthrie & Co. Take the Ernest Legouve and Ancaios. Balfour, Guthrie & Co., have chartered the French bark Ernest Legouve to load cement at London for Portland. The British ship Ancaios was taken by the same firm to transport coal from New castle N. S. W., to the Columbia River. The Ernest Legouve Is a vessel of 1808 net tons register and arrived In Lim erick from Tacoma, August 21. She has completed discharging at the Irish port and is ready to receive cargo at London for here. She will be here for March loading on .he home voyage. The Ancaios is 1704 net tons and Is now at Newcastle having arrived out from Callao. She sailed from the South American port July 6, in ballast. Pilots Find Twelve Feet of Water. At a zero stage, less than 12 feet of water exists on the bar between the mouth of the Willamette and Vancouver, in the Columbia River. Pilots L. A. Bailey and Julius Allyn made soundings in the river Friday. A report of the mat ter will be made to Colonel S. W. Roes sler, who has already made application to the Port of Portland Commission for the charter of the dredge Portland for the purpose of deepening the channel at the Hadyn Island bar. At present there is a five-foot stage in the Columbia and steam schooners may reach Vancouver easily. With dead low water, however, the shipping interests of the Washington town will suffer. Potter Leaves on Last Trip. The steamer T. J. Potter, of the O. R. & N. Company's fleet, sailed yesterday morning at 11 o'clock on her last trip to Ilwaco for the Summer season of 1907. She carried few passengers and will not be heavily taxed on the up trip as nearly all seasiders have returned from the Sum mer vacation. The Potter will return to Portland tomorrow morning. Marine Notes. The steamship Alliance, for points on Coos' Bay, sailed last night. The steamship City of Panama, for San Francisco, will sail this morning at 9 o'clock.

RUEF MUST GO TO PRISON Dunne Withdraws Privileges Al lowed Chicr of -Grafters. SAX FRANCISCO, Sept. 14. Abe Ruef is to go to prison. He is to occupy a cell in the jail of the police station at Eddy and Mason streets, where common felons, highwaymen, thugs, robbers and burglars are incarcerated, while their cases are pending. The handsome home on the summit of Flllmore-street hill, where he has occupied three rooms with bath, kitch en and French chef, s to be given up and a common, narrow cell will house the man who was once boss of the munici pality. This action was determined upon today by Judge Dunne, before whom Ruef was tried, and who is technically responsible for- his custody. It was brought about by the election of W. J. Biggy, the elisor ap pointed I y Judge Dunne to guard the prisoner, as Chief of Police. Biggy was sworn in and a few minutes after the ceremony Judge Dunne made the state ment that he would continue Ruef In Blggy's custody and would expect of him that Ruef be kept at the police station, inasmuch as Blggy's presence will be nec essary there at all times. Judge Dunne said there had been con siderable criticism of the way Ruef had been treated, particularly of the liberty allowed him and the privilege of a dally ride in his auto, so he thought It best to require of Biggy that he be treated as an ordinary prisoner.
