THE PORTUGAL SITUATION. "The people of Portugal are great students and thinkers and will be well able to govern themselves if this revolution should be successful" was the statement o fthe Consul for Portugal ifn Chicago, which has added weight from the fact that the consul is S. Chapman Simms, curator for the Field museum and an authority on Portugal's history. "Portugal has a treaty with Great Britain holding the latter country to be ready to aid it if it should call for succor," he added. "In the present case I do not know who would be considered the right person to make the request. Therefore, There-fore, I hardly think that Great Britain will interfere. I imagine that this revolution has been in the making for a number of years and that every move was carefully thought out before the leaders acted. If this is correct there is little doubt that the king will remain re-main deposed." 1 1
