Leaked Out That a Spanish Force Has Been Sent to Portugal. Madrid, Oct. 6. Premier Canalejas has declared that the queen mother of Portugal and duke of Oporto are aboard one of the royal yachts and are safe! Hr professes to, know nothing of the whereabout of King Manuel. Spain is on the verge of civil war through information that strong force of Spanish troops has been ordered to the Portuguese frontier.

It is Wlieved that Alfonso will aid Manuel to regain the throne, with Spanish bayonets. The Spanish republicans are raging and it is believed that such a move would precipitate a civil war here. Late official advices from Lisbon, by way of the frontier, say that the greater part of the army remained faithful to the king. Communication with Lisbon from outlying districts, however, has been impossible as the revolutionists cut all the bridges and blocked the highways in order to prevent the advance of the troops hurrying to the succor of the king. Nevertheless, the garrison at El Vas is now advancing i Lisbon, and the garrison at Oporto is prepared to leave for the capital on a moment's notice.

The suit of former Congressman If. If. Powers of Morrisville against the Rutland railroad for $21,000 claimed to be due for services ns general counsel for the company from to 100S, occupied the attention of the Vermont supreme court yesterday afternoon. Powers' son, George M. Powers, is a judge of the supreme court, and he being disqualified to sit on the case, Judge Miles of the superior court was designated to-Kit in his plice.

The case is attracting a great deal of attention. Mr. Powers claims to have a contract signed by Dr. W. Webb, president l' the Rutland railroad, dated Nov.

7, 1003, agreeing to employ him as general counsel for a five-year period. He also claims to have received two payments under that contract, and to have received an assurance from Dr. Webb in the latter part of January, 101)4, that his contract Would be carried out. The defendant denies that Dr. Webb bud any authority to act for it in this matter'and that it made any payments uudfcr the contract.

It claims that none of its officers knew of tbi3 contract until September, 1908, when plaintiff's resignation was asked for ami given. It also claims that its executive committee in December, 1008, fixed the plaintiff's salary at a year and voted not to allow him expenses while In Rutland, which expenses plaintiff says he was entitled to under the contract. After January 1, 1004. and until he left the company in 11H1S, it appears that Judge Powers received each month a check for $.500, and signed receipts in full which he sent the defendant without notice of any claim for anything more. He also made out and sent in expense accounts after January, 10o4, having out his expenses while at Rut-bind, which the defendant claims shows that the judge was satisfied with the notion of the executive committe, fixing his salary at per year.

It also appears that Judge Powers was a direeter of the company from October. 1902. to February, 1005, and the railroad claims he took part in a meeting of the directors in October, 1004, at which time he acquiesced in a resolution confirming the resolution of the executiveimmittee fixing his pay at W.00O. The defendant also relies upon a statute which provides that no officer of a corporation shall receive a salary unless it has been voted and the amount fixed by the directors, as well as upon provisions of its special charter, which it claims gave the directors alone power oer this subject.

The religious canvasa of the homes of Barre, Websterville, East Barre, South Barre and Graniteville, conducted by the state Sunday school association in the interest of the churches and Sunday schools within the city and its precincts, was nearly completed Tuesday night, although several of the ward superintendents were unable to report until early Wednesday morning.

The B.nraca room of the Congregational church was a busy place all day yesterday, when two local pastors, Rev. K. O. Thayer and Rev. J.

W. Barnett, five of the ward superintendents ami several volunteers devoted the larger part of the day and evening to the tabulation of the figures secured in the census. From the returns it was found that P2.i canvasser, chosen from the several churches, had assisted in the. work and that a totar or 1,802 homes had been visited Tuesday. Following are the findings of the canvassers, the first group representing the statistics of Barre City only, as many members came from Barre Town and do not represent the accurate church membership: Total number of families 1.SH2; number of canvassers at work, Protestant individuals registered, 4, 810 children under 5 years of age, 327; of this number 5.) are in Sunday school; children between;) and IS years, of this number 048 are in" Sunday school; men between 13 and 4.

A few homes were missed, although an attempt will be made to revisit these homes, in order that a correct report may be secured. A few families refused information. In two "districts the work was not quite completed.

Tn almost every instance, the canvassers were pleasantly received. It is the purpose of the local pastors, whose congregations participated in 'the work, to continue the visits and to give a welcome to the many strangers with whom they have become acquainted through these introductory calls. The work of the enumerators has been given much time and attention, and it is thought that a careful revision of the statistics would hardly reveal any errors. Following is the result of the tabulation for South Barre: Number of districts, two; Protestant families, 100; Roman Catholic, 20; no preference, total, 123; population, Protestant 341, Roman Catholic So, no preference 10: children under 5 vears, 35. of whom 2 arc in Sunday school; children between 5 and 18 years, 67, of whom 35 are iu Sunday school; men between 18 and 45 years," 40, of whom 10 are in Sunday school; denominational preference, Metlij odist lift.
