Were Slain While Driving From the
Railway Station.
A d.spatch from Lisbon says: King
(:urk,s
nal the Crown Prince Luiz
Philippe. were nssassinakxl Veru ut 5
o'clock on . Sutuday afternoon.
The royal party returned by boat
from visiting the fair nt \'lila Vicosa
yesterday, and landed at the quay in
lesboi at about 5 o'c'lock. Premier, or
Dictator, Franco, nna no a• hvo other
Sl.nister•s nicI them en landing, but
did not accompany prem. The Kings
programme %vas well known, and there
ryas a coiesider•able assemblage of pro-
w le, mostly of the lower classes, along
the designated merle. ft was n bright
afternoon, but it was verging towards
dusk when the (loyal party eutcred an
ordinary landau to drive to the palace.
There Was Po es:•ort of troops or police,
Ind scattered along the streets to con-
trol tho crowds was a fairly strong
force of policemen.
The King and Quem took the seat
facing the horses, and tho Crown Prince
and Prinse Manuel sat opposite there.
The carriage started off at a slow trot,
and the occupants acknowledged fre-
quently salutes tem the crowd. There
was little enthusiasm, but the populace
was respectful, and (hero were no signs
cf the unpopularity which the King s
latest decree, giving increased arbitrary
powers to the Dictatorship, undoubtedly
produce:(.
The progress of the Royal party was
without incident until the carriage
reached. the centre of the Prazo do
Commerea, one of the principal squares
' f the city, close to the Royal Arsenal.
Two groups of -nen, according to one
account, then rushed forward from op-
p.sile sides, one a little in advance of
the other. ami threw themselves in
(runt of the cnrringe, causing the driver
to sharply pull up his horses. Their
action distracted attention from the
other group of five. who ran up in the
rear close to the back of the vehicle.
Throwing back Iheh• long Spanish
cloaks, They produced carbines and be-
gan firing at the Royal party. The first
shit caused the King to leap to his
feet and turn his fac • to his assailants.
Shots fotlowel in quick succession, and
w.thin mother it -stunt thee,; struck the
monarch, whose gigantic frame was a
(nark almost impossible to miss. es
he stood for u moment tvithin a few
feel of his murderers two bullets utter-
ed his neck, one severing the carotid
artery, and death was almost instant-
aneous.
IIF.IIO1SM OF THE QUEEN AND
CROWN PRINCE.
Ile fell almost into the rrms of the
Queen, who had struggled to rise, and
who an instant later succeeded in
throwing herself in front of the Crown
Prince. Her sun seized her and forced
her to his seat, and ;Oneself stcod 'n
front of her. Only a sew seconds
elapsed and a second fit:elude canto
from the determined assassins. Tho
brave young Prince tett, dying, and
his brother received a flesh wound,
which covered tits face with blood. By
Iles time a handful of police within
reach recoverd from their parlysis of
horror, rushed forward and opened
fire upon the assassins.
Tho Queen at that moment was de-
spairingly
o-spairingly attempting to beat off a man
from the side of the carriage with a
bouquet. Iter escape was marvelous.
Capt. Freine, a cavalry officer, and a
soldlcr killed this regicide as he was
about to tiro a revolver point blank at
her Majesty.
The police fired indiscriminately. kil-
ling two other men who are beteved
to have been of tho assassins' party. A
wild panic foilutved, most of the spec-
tators Oco!ng in alt irections.
Tho driver within a moment or two
whipped up his horses and drove at a
gallop to the Arsenal. The vehicle was
quickly inside and the gales closed. The
Queen by this time was in a state of
collapse, but she asslsted in reproving
the body of her husband, waw was quite
dead. Tho Crown Prince still breathed,
but wfihin five minutes he expired be-
fore meJical aid could reach hire.

LINE TO INDICS FROM CANADA
Montreal Corn Exchange Will Press for
Direct Summer Service.
A despatch from Montreal says: 11
was decided at the annual meeting o'
the Montreal Corn Exchange on Wed-
nesday afk•rnoon to make renewed el-
icits to secure a direct Summer line of
steamers between IJtis port and the
\Vest Indies. In order to Increase trade
relations between Canada and those is-
lands. It was the general npinkn of
the members that this was the only
way to increase the mutual trade, en
the ground That Halifax and St. John
wear too far removed from blade cen-
Ires to build up the (rade.
Figures produced shotvet that the
bulk of the imports of the West Indies
were such as Canada exports such as
grain,( cheese, (lour, rneale, etc., but
most of these were now secured from
New fork, owing to the better faciti-
lies and the ease wilh which consign-
ments; could be made up. It was the
opinion of the Corn Exchange that
Montreal was the only Capadien port
where such exports were kept in sufli•
cienity large quenlittes to snake prompt
shipments. and despite the rebuffs re-
ceived, the Corn Exchange decided to
keep up the agitation for a direct Mon-
treal line.
