The Russo Turkish relations have entered upon a menacing phase. Alarmed at the un changed Turkish penetration of Fersia and the mobilization in Armenia, the Russian government has decided to exe cute a formidable, military demonstra tion on the Turkish-Persian frontier; has dispatched there a compact expedi tion of 50.000 sck-ct troops from Central Russia,, with full war equipment, and is acting with uncommon rapidity with a view to overawing the Turks by de cisive exhibition of force. The war office has drawn up plans of the expedition and submitted them hur riedly for legislative enactment to the Duma Friday. The committee on na- . tional defense assembled in virtually closed session. A representative of the war office briefly and impressively out lined the Turkish preparation on "which Russia is fully informed and asked for ,' an open credit for the maintenance of an army of 60,000.

A Democratic citizen of Florida, who is thoroughly familiar with the. situation and has no political interest in exploiting either faction of the Republican party in 1'lorida, said today: "The truth of the matter is that Secretary Taft's friends represent the better element of the Re publican party in Florida and are the regulars. The head and front of the Taft movement is J. M. Coombs, member of the national committee from that state, and one of- the referees in federal patronage matters. He is a wealthy business man who went to Florida from the north, and has a high reputation for business and political integrity. "The opposition to Secretary Taft is made up of a few agitators and one disappointed politician. The leader of it is J. Douglas Wetmore, a negro, who for some time past has maintained law offices in New York city and is in the employ of the Negro League, that has been so active in backing up Senator Foraker in the Brownsville matter. The others prominent in the nnti-Taft move ment are J. N. Stripling, a white man, who went to Florida from Georgia, and was United States attorney under Mc Kinley, but failed of reappointment at the hands or Roosevelt. The others are John M. Stillman, the collector at Pen- sncola, and E. R. Gunley, of Tampa, who in jiMinvs Hunst ine regulars. "It . is not significant thnt two con- t cnuuns were nem m f lorida. I never knew a Republican state convention in that state that did not divide into factions and finish as a double-header. The two factions will hold their conven tions in opposite sides of the hall, reach ing diametrically opposing conclusions. It is very easy to organize a mmp con vention, and Wetmore's plan has been to send out to the negroes throughout the state and secure their proxies repre senting delegates chosen in various rump county and district conventions. "I have been told thnt the negroes who joined Wetmore and his party in organ izing the convention in Florida were all promised their traveling expenses and enough money to have a good time." i ;3fij 11 .

' Nation Abandons Plot and Coun terplot toMourn With Queens a n d Youthful King. , Lisbon. Feb. 8 With the church bells tolliiig continually, the bodies of the murdered King Carlos and his son, Crown Prince luiz, in two golden char iots shrouded in black velvet and drawn by ten hooded horses, were escorted by a glittering .funeral pageant today across Lisbon to the Portuguese pantheon and laid: at rest beside.' their, ancestors of tlic lira gunza dynasty. Several hours elapsed from the time the foreign princes and the special am bassadors of all the powers gathered at the palace for the ceremony there until three salvos of twenty-one guns and three volleys, of musketry, answered by the British warships in the harbor, an nounced that the last rites were over. Xot a single jmtoward incident marked the last act of Portugal's tragedy. The great outpouring of people along the line of procession was noteworthy. They packed the pavements, crowded the win dows and choked the side streets. While evidences of deep and popular sorrow seemed fo beabsent, many stood with uncovered heads and nowhere was actual disrespect witnessed. The day was one in which the Por tugese people united in prayer for t'ir murdered king and prince. Oppression, real or fancied, the restriction of liberty, the bitter clash of party, sinister in trigue and merciless vengeance seemed all to have been abandoned for the mo ment at least, as the nation pro pared for the funeral. ' Troops guarded the streets and wore massed in numerous parks and plazas along the route; all shops and cafes were closed and shutters covered the windows of the .ministerial buildings in the Praca do Commercio, where the king and crown prince were assassinated a week ago.
