A rigid censorship still prevents
news in Lisbon from becoming
known but dispatches that have come
through by way of the French fron?
tier and direct indicate that the
fighting in the streets of the Portu?
guese capital was of longer duration
and of a more severe nature than at
first reported.
Nothing is known of Thursday
events at Lisbon and this, in con?
nection with the Statements made by
Premier Canalejas to the Spanish
chamber of deputies, that the gov?
ernment was not cognizant of the
establishment of a provisional gov?
ernment at Lisbon and that reports
had come to him that fighting in the
streets had been renewed, together
with the Lisbon dispatches that a
portion of the entrenched troops
had refused to adhere to the repub
liclans. shows that the provisional gov?
ernment has been compelled to take
precautions against a loyal attack.
The situation in the province 1s
also very doubtful.
A delayed dispatch from Oporto
gives brief details of demonstrations
held there on the day after the
rising occurred at Lisbon. Since
then, however, word from Oporto
Indicated that quiet had been restor?
ed.
Notification has been sent to the
foreign embassies by the provisional
government of the proclamation of
the republic.
Lisbon, Oct. 6.?While the city of
Lisbon Is in the hands of the revolu?
tionists and a republic has been pro?
claimed, with Theophile Hraga as
provisional president, and other
prominent republicans constituting
the ministry, there are still many
thousands in and around the capital
who are loyal to the monarchy. The
monarchists include a portion of the
Lisbon troops and troops massed in
entrenched camps about the city.
Thus far these have refused to ally
themselves with the revolutionists,
and the provisional government is
taking stops to enforce allegiance.
The people <>f Lisbon are Ignorant
of events in the provinces and
therefore it is not known whether
the movement is broad enough to
?Weep the country. Nevertheless the
republicans are proceeding as
though the transformation of the
monarchy into a republic was an ac?
cepted facti to stand for all time.

SOCIAL CLUBS CONVICTED.
C olumbia Boose Resorts in Trouble.
Columbia, Oct. 7.?The managers
of two clubs of the city were convict?
ed last night upon a charge of storing
whiskey, aftrr trials lasting for sev?
eral hours before Recorder Verner,
William Kaigle. as manager Of the
Arlington club, and W. G. Poat, as
manager of the Citizens' club, were
convicted and each sentenced to pay
a line of $40 or serve 30 days on the
city (baingang. The case against
Kaigle was tried before a jury. Re?
corder Verner making the decision
In the other case. Appeals will very
likely be taken in both cases.
The methods of the so-called social
clubs were fully explained by mem?
bers of the police who raided the
various resorts last Saturday night
and seized several hundred g.ilons of
whiskey. Several other cases will be
tried tonight by Recorder Verner.
There were several witnesses to
testify In this case as to the citizens'
Club. The attorney fo^ Poat argued
that the city ordinance, making it
unlawful to store contrabrand liquors,
bad been repealed when the dispen?
sary law was repealed. This conten?
tion was overruled by the recorder.
Tht; officers who made the raid on
Saturday night testified before the
court. The evidence brought <>ut the
fact that W. O. Poat was the man?
ager of the Citizens' club. There was
Introduced 's evidence a federal li?
cense to do a retail liquor business.
The statement was made at the trial
by one of the attorneys that all of the
social clubs of the city are provided
with r.tail liquor licenses from the
federal government. It was also
la-ought out by testimony thai there
was much whiskey stored in the
lockers of the citizens' dub. The
lockers wer* broken open by officers
In making the search. The attorney
for the defendant contended thai
there was no evidence to show that
the whiskey had been stored for un?
lawful purposes.
The second case, that of the city
against William Kaigle, was tried
before a jury and resulted in a ver?
dict of guilty. He was charged with
storing whiskey as manager of the
Arlington club, which is located at

W. Mansfield of Boston was nomi?
nated fur governor by the Democratic

the nomination being by ac< lamation.
The name Of Mr. Manstield was of?
fered as a compromise following a
conference, 1n which James Vahey
and Representative Fugene N. Foss
agr..-d to withdraw from the contest
to save bitterness and to better the
chances of success of the party at
the polls. It was agreed that the name
of Mr. Mansfield should be placed in
nomination with the understanding
that he will withdraw within 72
hours and that the selection of the
party's candidate shall be made by a
special committee. Mr. Vahey made
a strong speech in which he withdrew

tumult at the conclusion of the an?
nouncement of an indecisive second

I early this morning. Delegates
I swarmed up over the press seats and

I Chairman Thayer called for the po

J Scarcely any one left the hall. The
I melee was at its height and the an
I nouncement of a recess had little ef
J feet upon the delegates, who were
I pounding one another about the press
J box. The newspaper men were driven
j from their section. The officers ex
1 perienced difficulty in separating the
I combatants and reserves were
I called in.
The announcement of the second
I ballot, which was taken very slowly
J under the Australian system of vot
