DENIING, n. NJ, Jan. l0.-Couriers
from Ascension, i'll the state of Chihua-
hua, 100 miles south. report a terrible
uprising there Thursday For some
time bad feeling has existed between
the adherents of the church party and
the supporters of the Diaz government.
Affairs reached a crisis Thursday, when
the election of the president of the town
was held. Rafael Anchela. who had
twice held the office, was reelected by
few votes. Anchela was distasteful
to the opposition on account of his eff
forts to inaugurate reform, and threats
were openly made against his life.
About o'clock in the afternoon a mob
OF over 100 men suddenly surrounded
the city building and opened fire. An
chela and his secretary, Devalas, were
instantly killed. The mob took posses
sion of the town after hard fight wit b
the friends of Anchela. During the
battle three revolutionists were killed
and many on both sides fatally wound
ed. France Sanzo, one of the leaders of
the mob, was among the killed. The
impression prevails that this is move
ment for the support Of Cara. The
strength of the insurgents is reported
at eighty armed. Government troops
are reported to be on the point of out
break. Meanwhile the town is IN pos
session of the mob, and further blood
shed is expected.

also the news of the dukes illness
arouses more sympathy than wonld have
been the case month ago before his
engagement to Princess Mary of Teck.
The duke has been much more popular
since it became known that he was to

birth. So serious is the attack that all
appointments made by the prince have
been Cancelled. and the marriage, ap-
pointed for the 27th of February, for
which great preparations are being
made, will. of course. depend upon his
recovery. When the news OF her lovers
condition was carried to the princess
she showed the deepest anxiety and
wanted to go immedia tely to his side.
Inquiries are pouring in from all quar-
tiers as to the dukes condition. Should
the duke become victim of the disease
which has been playing havoc in
England and on the continent, his
place as heir to the throne, after the
Prince of Wales. would be taken by the

Several Deaths on the Steamer
Moorish Prince.

New YORK. Jan. 10.-Capt. Lawson,
of the British steamer Moorish Prince,
which arrived at Quarantine early Sun
day morning, reports that six members
of the steamers crew had been sick
with yellow fever, four of whom died.
The steamer arrived at Santos Nov.
II. and renamed there until the
18th of the same month, when she sailed
for Rio Janerio. A fireman was stricken
with the fever on the day before sailing
for Rio Janeiro. He was sent ashore to
the hospital. The steamer entered the
harbor of Rio Janeiro Nov. 26. The
same day the chief mate, John Hughes.

A SCANDAL IN IT.
The Morocco Incident Promises
to Be Sensational.

oeuSdLAOIldl.
LONDON, Jan. 10.-A sensation has
been caused by the publication of let
ter from a gentleman whose position
gives him opportunity for knowing the
history of affairs in Morocco, and who
hints at the probability of interesting
revelations being made as a result OF
the present imbroglio between England,
France, Italy and Spain in connection
with the Tangier rebellion. The writer
says the sultan of Morocco is intensely
angry at the action of the foreign repre-
sentatives resident in his dOminionS.
and especially the British. This i'll
feeling is not without justification, as
will appear when all the facts are
known, If they ever are.
"Why," says the sultan. ''if England
is determined to crush slavery does she
appoint slave dealer to reside as an
official at one of my cities?'
This must be admitted to be peril
neut inquiry, not only from a Morocco
point of view, but in any light in which
it may he examined. The sultan goes
on to PROFOUND other embarrassing
questions.
why" he asks. ''does England claim
exemption from taxation on commercial
transactions in slaves? Why does she
imprison my subjects and torture and
even murder them. in other cases being
content with eXtOrting ransom Il or them.
their enly crime being that they have
publicly approved my action in only ex-
ercising my sovereign rights?'
This probably will lead TO the diScov-
cry of what has been long suspected in
certain quarters. namely that some Brit
ish official III Morocco has been abus-
ing his position to enrich himself by EN-
gagIng clandestinely in the slave trade,
the Moorish officers being afraid to in
terfere, not knowing how far the British
government would goi in defending its
representative, who could easily make
out prima facle case of innocence In
vestigation will, it is thought by many,
show that not only the English, but
other representatives have been guilty
of the practices complained of by the
sultan.

ADMIRAL RODGERS.
The Metropolitan Club Takes Ac-
ton on His Death,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Metro
politan club held a meeting this after
noon to take appropriate action upon
the death of Admiral C. r. P. Rodgers.
Gen. Schoield presided, and commit
tee on resolutions was appointed, con-
sisting of Judge John Davis, Admiral
Franklin and Mareellus Bailey. In re-
porting the resolutions, Judge Davis
commented upon the long and faithful
service to the club of Admiral Rodg-
erS, who was for nearly twenty
years an officer of the association, com
ing into its service at a considerable
personal sacrifice, and whose ability,
fidelity and good judgment had guided
the club successfully in its course.
Judge Davis alluded to the admiral's
favorite smile of ''hand of iron In
velvet glove" and said that the hand in
that glove was firm in leading the I'M
certain. strong in supporting the weary,
soft and caressing to the weak and suf-
fering. Resolutions of respect were
thereupon adopted. Admiral Rodgers
was elected president of the club eleven
times in succession. The funeral serv-
ices, in accordance with the wishes of
the dead admiral, will be strictly pri-
vate. They will take place tomorrow
morning from st. Johns Episcopal
church.

The Tennesseean Says the ALI
ance Practices DuDIicity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Congressman
Cox, of Tennessee, in an interview crit
icising the action of the Alliance presi-
dents and the resolution adopted by
them here a few days ago, says:
why, the resolution shows duplicity
on its face. In one breath it says they
will affiliate with no party or parties
and asks that every party take them
under its fold. Now, the Democratic
party is never going to indorse the Oeala
platform as it stands, nor will the Re-
publican party. The Peoples party,
so-called. has already Endorsed the Ocala
demands, and. if the Alliance means
to throw its strength to the party
that Endorses its peculiar views
and demands. the main ones of
which are the sub-treaSury and
land loan scheme, both clearly at va
rance with the theory of this govern
ment and sound political economy, why
then they are already i'll the Peoples
party, so far as these demands will ever
get any sort Of party Endorsement.
Nineteenth of my constituents are ag-
rlculturistS. and | am in full sympathy
with them in their just grievances. but
no man who understands the principles
OF this government can ever indorse the
chimerical ideas of the extreme AL
lance leaders,

complish the object much more GER
tainly and speedily. But it is proposed
TO make the rule even wider in its ap-
pilcatlon than the Old one by removing
the requirement that the proposed
amendment must be germane to the sub
lect of the bill. The reason advanced
for this is that the annual indefinite APP
preparations now authorized by law
amount to about $4,000. 600. They are
under the control of no committee, and
would not. therefore be germane to the
subject OF any bill reported. In
that large amount. it is believed
that the appropriation committee
can find at least several mill
ions of dollars that might be saved.
and if the reduction could be made on
one of the regular appropriation bills
there would be but little difficulty in
accomplishing it. How TO draft a rule
that will enable the committee on APP
preparations to carry out its policy OF
retrenchmenJ and at the time shut off
political riders, which it is admitted are
undesirable, is the chief task before
the committee on rules.
Gen. CatchingS is of the opinion that
the permanent code of rules for the
fIfty-Second congress NAV be reported
10 the house by the 18th instant.

THE WHISKY TRJ ST.
st. Louis Making an Attempt to
Break 1t Up.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 10.-Troubles
rarely come singly, at least such would
appear to be the experience of the
whisky trust. Besides defending the
suits which the government threatens
to bring against the distillers and
cattle feeding company at Chicago for
violation of the trust law, st. Louis
capital and brains are preparing to
do their share to break up the combina-
ton. Two large distilleries are to be
built here for the purpose of fighting
the trust. One of the new companies is
already incorporated under the name of
the Madison Distilling company, with
capital of 100000. The second will be
Incorporated within week. The
Central DistilIng company, which
was built for the same pur-
pose, and put into operation last
October. has increased its capital
stock for the purpose of doubling its
capacity. The men backing the new
distilleries say they are in the fight to
stay, and propose to have their share of
the business, even if If they have to cut
prices to get it. And old distiIler, and
one.of the original stockholders of the
whisky trust, said today: 'If the gov
eminent succeeds in breaking up the
whisky trusts rebate system, the trust
will not be able to maintain the present
selling price of its products. as that sys-
tenn is the main protection the trust has
now for holding its trade"
A dispatch from Pekin. ILL.,. says n.
?. Westerman. of that city, an old dis
tiller, has severed his connection with
the whisky trust, and with number of
C italists organized the Havana Dis

at Havana, and work is to be begun at

WOULD ABOLISH FEES.
An Effort to Change the Federal
Office System.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-An effort will
be made by number of Democratic
representatives in congress to have the
appropriations committee recommend
that the fee system in federal offices be
abolished so far as can we'll be done. A
number of congressman, especially IN
the Southern states. urge that the
continuance of the fee system re-
suits in much hardship to people
in their states through deputy
marshals and other court officers
straining the laws for the purpose of
making cases in courts and thereby in
creaSing the emOluments OF their Of
fees. 1t is urged that the government
would really save a great deal of money
by paying salaries to such employees as
are necessary i'll fee offices, and reouir-
ing that all fees shall be turned into the
United States treasury. Vigorous Op-
position. however, is expected to this
reform, and the appropriations commit
tee has not yet got to work, so that it is
uncertain what will be the out
come. One of the attempts to
federal offices is of considerable inter-
est to the numerous postmasters of the
first class throughout the country. At
present stamped envelopes are furnished
postmasters at fifth of cent for each
envelope. No profit is realized on these
by the postmaster when he sells them
in large lots. When sold singly, or in
small quantities, there is profit of four
t1fths of cent on each envelope, and
Mr.. O'Neill, of Missouri. who intends to
urge congress to change the practice, saws
that the result is q considerable profit
at the end of the year to the postmasters
who are in receipt of regular fixed
salary. He will urge that hereafter
stamped envelopes be furnished at cost
in scent lots (the price of the stamp not
included). The government. he said.
should not make profit on these and
other conveniences it furnishes to the
people. but should give them at cost
wherever practicable, and any profits
arising where the exact cost cannot be
conveniently fixed should not go to sal
aired officers.

THE KHEDIVE's DEATH.
1t Was Caused by Pneumonia,
Complicated by Neptritis.

W A1CRNElllS
CAIRO, Jan. 10.-Dr. Hess and DR..
Comanos, the two European doctors
who attended the khedive during the
last hours of his life. today presented
to the premier their promised joint
report on the case. They state in
their report that they arrived at the
Helonan palace at O'Clock Thursday
morning last. DIR. Salem, one of the
native physicians in attendance on the
patient, then informed them that the
khediVe had been suffering from infiu-
enZa for a week. but that until
Wednesday nothing abnormal had
been observed in his condition. The
report then states that when they Hess
and COmanOS) had consulted the khe-
dive, which they did Immediately. thew
found congestion OF the lungs present.
but not in degree sufficient to account
for the grave condition of the patient
They then questioned the native
doctors as to the state Of the
patients urine, and the latter
replied that in that regard they had
nothing abnormal to report. After pre-
scribing rigorous course of treatment
the two European doctors returned TO
Cairo. The authors of the report then
state that on revisiting the patient
at the HeIonan palace at I
O'Clock on Thursday afternoon they
found his lungs in a worse con.
diti0n and that desperate cerebral
symptoms had supervened, Indicating
uremla. After performing an opera
ton they discovered that the patient had
been attacked by infectious pneumonia
after being seized with influenza. COM
plieated by nephritis, which caused his
death.
1t is learned later today that DR.. Sa-
lem injected mofphia Wednesday night
and theE left the palace. Early the
next morning the khediye begged the
other doctor in attendance to repeat
the dose Of morphia in order TO allay
the pain. but the doctor was afraid
to comply with the request, and
sought the advice of the Vicereine,
who aeceded to his advice to summon
the aid Of European physicians. Drs.
Coman0s and HesSe could not obtain
the drugs required. and had to send TO
Cairo for them. After finding that the
case was hopeless, they told DR.. Salem
to acquaint the members of the minis
try with the khedive's condition. DR..
Salem ignored their advices and
dispatched kilograms to the ministers
saying that the khedive was better. The
khedlve was not seen by the officers of
his household, or by any of the minis
tiers from the time he was confined to
his room. Even on Thursday at noon
DIR. Salem reported that the khedive
might attend dinner appointed for the
following week. The khediye, when
nearing his end, is reported to have
said that he had only himself TO blame.
1t is supposed that ne referred 10 his
omission to call in European doctors to
attend him.

CRISP Is BETTER.
And Will This Week Meet the
Committee on Rules.

WASHINGToN, Jan. 10. = Speaker
Crisp's condition is so far improved that
his associates of the majority of the
committee on rules believe he will be
able to meet with them this week for
the preparation of code of rules.
Messrs. Cstchings and McMillin have
been, individually, studying The situa-
ton, and it may be said that the rules
of the Flftieth congress will forfE the
basis Of the new rules. These do not
differ materially from those of the Fifty
first congress. except in the matter of
authorizing the speaker to count a
quorum and TO determine whether mo-
ton is dilatory. These features will
probably be eliminated, but some re-
striction will be applied to the intro
duction of purely filibustering tactics
10 the detriment of business.
Mr.. Holman, chairman of the COM
mIttee on appropriations, has given
members of the committee On rules no
tice of his intention TO urge a change of
the rule adopted in the Fortv-eighth
congress by which. the committee was
deprived of the power of adding 10 APP
preparation bills any provision for the
repeating or modifying Of law already
on the statute book. This was adopted
for the purpose Of shutting off political
riders on appropriation bills, which
gave rise to discussions that were fro
eign to the subject matter of the bill.
although the old rule required that the
proposed amendment or repeal relate
to subject germane to the purpose Of
the bill.
1t has been found. however. under the
operations of this bill, that legislation
looking to a retrenchment of expenses
cannot be made part OF an apprupria-
ton bill, although the change in view
were recommended by cabinet officer
or the president. For instance:
The secretary of war in his last an
nuaI report recommends a reduction of
the number of contract surgeons of the
department. BY the rule of the last
three congresses that reduction must be
accomplished by an Independent meas
ure. Until the reduction be thus ac-
complished, the appropriation commit
tee must continue to provide for the
payment OF the full number required or
authorized by law To secure
the reduction recommended by
an independent bill is generally
recognized as herculean or
almost impossible task. An amend
ment Il Wy appropriation bill would ac-
