Depravity of Portuguese Aris
tocracy Is Discovered
at Lisbon.
NOBILITY IS INVOLVED
JPoIlce Make Raid on Castle and
Find Conditions Too Slnirking to
Publish Nobles Are Taken to
Frlbon Lynching Averted.
LISBON, Nov. 2. (Special.) Thirty
of the proudest names the Portuguese
aristocracy boasts of are inscribed on
the police blotter and a dozen or more
of their alleged victims are in care
of the hospitals, while the authorities
are digging up the private graveyard
of this aristocratic colony to discover
the awful extent of crimes charged.
Three weeks ago a girl of 15, almost
naked and covered with wounds, crawled
Into the police station of a suburban vil
lage and declared that she had escaped
on her hands and knees from the castle
of Idolfro, where she and a dozen others,
boys and giris. were held prisoners in
torture chambers for the amusement of
rich and aristocratic rovelers.
The police thought the girl insane and
called the surgeons! ' who dressed her
wounds, made her comfortable and then
iiuestioned her as to her sanity. She had
spent only six hours In the human sham
bles and her mind was yet clear. So the
police of the capital were communicated
with and at midnight the palace was
surrounded by mounted guards, while 100
detectives and policemen made a simul-
No self-respecting newspaper could print
description of the scenes presenting
themselves to the invaders. Only the
servants of the place were clothed. The
master and his guests, 30 in all, as well
us their victims, were not dressed.
Six Counts and Princes were arrested
around the "freezing pond," where boys
and girls were kept in ice cold water for
10 minutes, then removed and bound to a
stake less tiian 18 inches from a redhot
The victims of these monsters. It turned
out, were either children of the streets
of Usbon, lured by promise of candy,
wine, pretty clothes and money, or young
men and women boldly kidnaped. Some
of them had been reported as "lost" to
the police.
When the aristocrats were brought to
Lisbon In patrol wagons the news of
their awful crimes had spread among the
populace and thousands rushed upon the
aristocratic prisoners to lynch them. Only
the accidental presence of a company of
mounted soldiers prevented their instant
execution. -
It is whispered that several of the pris
oners claim to be cronies of King Carlos,
hut If he dares interfere in their behalf,
doubtless the revolution - will break out
anew.
ARRESTS BY WHOLESALE
Kuk.sIh'm Iron Hand Falls Heavily
on Vladivostok Mutineers.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2. The latest
advices from Vladivostok say that 150 ar
rests have been made in connection with
the recent mutiny there, the persona ar
rested being for the most part soldiers
and sailors. Merchantmen lying in the
harbor steamed outside before the firing
began, and thus escaped being damaged.
MAY AVERT RAILROAD STRIKE
English Railroadmen to Confer With
Lloyd-George.
LONDON. Nov. 2. The prospects that
the president of the Board of Trade,
Lloyd-George, may be able to avert the
general strike by arranging a compromise
were brighter today. A full meeting of
the executive committee of the Amalga
mated Society of Railway Servants was
he'.d-thls morning, and It was decided to
postpone all action on yesterday's resolu
tions In favor of a strike until after the
conference which Is to take place with
Mr. Lloyd-George November 6, to which
he. has invited the society to send repre
sentatives. Richard Bell, M. P.. general
secretary of the society, and leader of the
strike movement, probably will head the
delegation.
A meeting of the Parliamentary commit
tee of the Trades Union Congress was to
have taken place next Monday and a joint
meeting of this committee with commit
tees representing the General Federation
of Trades tTnion and of the Labor party
had been arranged for next Tuesday, but
Mr. Bell has written to the secretary of
tile iirst-named organization suggesting
that the meetings be postponed, adding:
"Owing to a change of circumstances, I
don't think It will be necessary to call
thein together at this stage."
Thin is regarded as a significant step,
because the two meetings were to have
been called in order to support the rail
way men If they went out on strike.

TACOMA. Wash.. Nov. 2. That these

three are the British steamers Strath

steamer Hercules. The three ships car

VIGOROUS FIGHT IN KENTUCKY
Normally Democratic State In Doubt
as to Governor.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 2. Not since the
famous Goebel-Taylor race has there
been a Kentucky campaign so vigorously
waged on both sides as the one which

Judge Samuel W. Hager, Democrat, and
Augustus E. Wilson, Republican candi
dates for Governor, ended today only
after each had stumped the state from
end to end.
Although Kentucky is normally Demo
cratic by a good sized majority, the sit

so many issues of the nonpolitical sort
that good Judges were still at sea as to
the result three days before the election.

Mills on Puget Sound Get Or
ders to Shut Down.
MARKET DULL IN THE EAST
Federal Injunction Against Rail
road Rates Also Said to Have
Influenced Association's
Closing Order.
BELLI NGHAM. Wash., Nov. 2. (Spe
cial.) Every shingle mill in the state of
Washington belonging to the Washington
Shingle Mills Bureau closed tonight. The
movement to 'close the mills of the state
has been on foot for some time, and to
night local shingle manufacturers received
"1
notice of the close. A few of the mills ot
the state will continue to run for a few
weeks, but these are not members of the
association.
The reason given for closing at this
time are that the market will not stand
to have more shingles placed on it this
Winter, as the demand has become tight
in the East. Another .reason for the or
der is the injunction issued by the Fed
eral Court, in Seattle, restraining rail
roads from collecting the 50-cent rate on
shipments from the Northwest.
This will affect about 100 mills In this
county out of a total of 140.

the obstruction with sufficient force to
break the pilot. Some of the air brakes
were also damaged. Repairs were made
after an hour's delay, so that the train

few minutes before the arrival of the
train.

FIVE BOATS .MAY BE LOST
EARLY WINTER MAY HAVE
CAUGHT THE3I IX ICE.
Whaler Jeannette, Last Boat Out of
. the Arctic Ocean This Year,
Brings the Information.
' SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2. Ventur
ing too far to the westward in the
Arctic Ocean In the quest of whales,
five vessels of the whaling fleet sail
ing from this port over a year ago,
and having on boaTd 225 men, maV
have been caught In the ice by the
sudden closing in of the Northern
Winter. -
This information was brought, to
this city- by the whaler Jeannette,
Captain Hoffman, the last vessel out of
the Arctic Sea. The missing vessels
are the Herman, Captain James Til
ton; Beluga. Captain Porter; Belvl
dere. Captain Cattle"; Thrasher, Cap
tain Foley, and William Baylies, Cap
tain W. H. BodflsMT Each carries
about 45 men.
None of the whalers was seen by
the men of the Jeannette. The latter
vessel was several times hemmed in
by the ice and in one instance had to
make a path through the pack by the
use of gunpowder before the open sea
was reached. All of the whalers went
further to the northwest this season
than usual, the Jeannette plainly
sighting Prince Williams' Land. ' But
one other vessel of the fleet, the
Bowhead, managed to gain the open
sea after the Jeannette had escaped
Today this whaler was sighted off
this port 20 miles outside the Heads.
It was known positively that the miss
ing ships were hunting in the same
grounds, far to the westward. Cap
tain Cattle, of the Belvldere, has his
wife on board.
Captain George Tllton, master of the
steam whaler Bowhead. which - arrived
yesterday from the Arctic, characterizes
as "rot" a report that five ships of the
whaling fleet are thought to have perished
with all hand?. Captain Tllton, who has
been going Into the Arctic for the last 25
years, said there was little foundation for
fea?. .
"The Arctic is big," he said. "The other
ships evidently found whale elsewhere and
all probably will come home with big
catches. Of course they may have been
caught In the ice. but even In that event
there is no occasion O worry, as they
cannot be very far from Point Barrow."
The Bowhead had a successful cruise,
killing nine out of ten whsjles chased and
bringing home nearly 18,000 pounds of
bone.
Preliminary Orders Issued.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. Orders were
sent today by the Navy Department to
the Commander-in-Chief, directing him to
