been operating a press agency, by means of which it hopes
to eulist the sympathies of business men and others who are
amenable to fears of depression, loss of trade and disturbed
conditions. Besides the use of paid-for newspaper influ
ence the country has been circularized from end to end, by
all of which agencies the company declares it is not guilty
of the charges of rebating of which it has been convicted.
The president in answer declarer it to be his wish that

that end. He also reommends that the independent oil
companies, crushed out of existence by the unjust discrim
ations practiced in favor of the monopoly, have returned to
them the amounts charged iu excess of that company. He
recommends the passage of drastic anti-trust regulations.
He also asks that the employers' liability law, recently de
clared by the supreme court to be unconstitutional, be re
enacted in form to meet the objecttons of the court.
He also calls for the enactment of stronger inter-state
commerce laws under which individuals may be protected
against the conflicting laws arising from the attempt on the
part of the seperate states to exercise control over inter
state railroads.
The message has caused a sensation throughout the
country and opinions favorable and otherwise are being
freely expressed.

Lisbon, Jan. 31 ? Rioting continues here and the gov-!
ernment has found it impossible to keep the fact from the
world that the monarchy is in danger. Blood is being shed1
with a ruthless hand in the effort, by the government, to
suppress the insurrection but the roused people maintain a
stubborn resistence. The outbreak has evidently been in ;
contemplation for a long time, the revolutionists being
armed and equipped with amunition. Terror reigns
throughout the whole country.
