OF OLD REGIME BRINGS " PEACE TO E Cabinet Announces That an End Will lie Put to Repressions. HIGH PRAISE FOR NEW KING GREAT SUFFERING DUE TO THE ISTENSE GOLD IH CITY OF NEW YORK Two Women Found Frozen Death In a 22-Room Mansion. to MORE SNOW HAS FALLEN Lisbon, Feb. 5. The announced inten tion of the new cabinet to put- an end to repressions and restore the "old liberal monarchy," which has existed in Portu gal for sixty years, has had a soothing and quieting effect on the country. Tran quility is reported from everywhere in the interior and today Lisbon seems per-' fect.lv neaceful. Troops are less conspicuous on the j streets of the city today, and if the day of the funerals passes without incident the present phase of the crisis may be regarded as at an end. The willingness of Scnhor Machaflo, the Hcpublican leader, ajid the Kepub licans girnerally to acquiesce in the pres ent situation if their friends are released teems to insure a return to less stren uous modes of political warfare. An other upheaval in the near future is con sidered practically impossible. . .. ; Intense interest is shown in Franco's whereabouts. He remains in seclusion, seemingly crushed in spirit, and he de clines to see . correspondents to offer a defense for his policy. His elimination is regretted by the commercial classes and foreign elements, who are convinced that his sole object was the good of the country. . The young king himself believed in Franco. The day after the tragedy ho said: "I intend to retain Franco. He was my father's friend and shall be mine." It is well known, however, that the dowager queen has always been hostile to the former premier, and latltrtrly Queen Amclie shared the view that the dictatorship had been carried too far. She is said to have remonstnrted with him i.lmt. it miL'ht end in a tragedy and in voked him in beHalf of a milder course in memory of what her own family had Buffered in France. The young sovereign's personality is described 'by those who know him as very winning. As a lad he displayed fine manly traits. He had considerable artistic Halent, especially for music, and like his father, was exceedingly fond of outdoor sports. He was reared with great care by the devoted queen, who took the wannest interest in the educa tion of the princes, both of whom spoke i English, French, Spanish and Italian perfectly. ' i ' The king's English tutor 'sings the praises of the king and his dead brother. ' "They were ideal younff men,"' he said, and then told an anecdote illustrative of the king's gentle nature. As the prince he had "always spoken of the queen as "Her Majesty," One day, however, he . sed the iterm "mother"; then he turned to -tjie tutor and said: "I think I like the word, 'mother best. I read last nb?ht that the queen was lost in the wife, ths . 'wife inthe mother.". , , ?'ir . King Manuel is especially ; fond of f .America and Americans. : , . , Preparations for' the furneral of the -v dead kinjr and the crown prince on Sat nrday 'art rapidly nearing completion. .

Tlw police reported several deaths from ex posure. Two women caretakers were found frozen to death in a twenty -two room mansion in West Neventy-hrst street. They were Mrs. Margaret Meek Ber tie, seventy years old, and Mrs. Mar garet Kelly, forty years old. There was a little coal in a bin in tho cellar and seventeen cents wer found ir. a cupboard. The police think the women sat by a stove, in front of which their bodies were found, to keep warm and fell asleep before the fire went out and were frozen to death, : Members of the Crecnsboro liar made ef forts, to have a new judicial district created by the special session of the legislature, but were not successful. :' The following calendar lias been ar ranged for the term: Tuesday, February 11 Thomas P.
