Tangier, Morocco, Dec. 29.-The
s1ltan of Morocco is said to have re-
tired to the palace at Fez With all his
available artillery and ammunition and
to have strongly baricaded himself in
consequence OF a threatened attack or
the part of the rebels.
Madrid, Dee. 22a.-The Spanish gov
ernment is preparing for eventualities
in Morocco and has ordered troops at
Malaga, Cadiz and Algeciras to be
held in readiness to promptly reinforce
the garrisons at Ceuta and Melilla.
Morocco, should the situation re-
quire it. A Spanish cruiser has been
ordered to Tangier.
According to dispatches received
here from Tangier the rebels chased,
the troops OF the sultan of Morocco to
the gates of Fez.
London, Dec. 29.-A dispatch to
The Times from Tangier dated Dec.
%, says:
A courier from Fez reports the
Christians to be safe. The missionary
women are in the British consulate.
The attack on the camp occurred at
night time It is reported that 1000
of the sultan's troops were killed. An
absurd rumor is current, continues
the correspondent, that the French
are supporting the rebels.
As a matter Of fact the anti Christi
an movement is more dangerous to the
French than to anybody else. It
threatens them in Algeria. Tiangier
is tranquil. No disturbnces of any
kind need be feared here.

Four Hundred Per Cent. AnnuaI
Interest.

Our Columbia correspondent reports
a certain condition in that city, which
assuredly should command the effect
i've attention of the Legislature for it's
early correction. It is not peculiar to
Columbia. and is not new, as is known
to not few people who have learned
of its existence through their servants.
Columbia, he says, is infested with
a number OF money lenders, who prey
upon ignorant colored people," by
robbing them Systematically under
contract forms. Once in their clutches
the victim is bull-doozed and threat
ened'' until he is afraid to appeal to
q magistrate and is subjected to their
exactions as long as he has any money
they can reach.
One in Columbia, however, refused
payment at last, and the trial of the
case brought out the facts that for a
loan of 81, he was charged 81. 40
interest per month. and had paid that
rate for year, and the principal was
still untouched. The lender then at
tempted to seize his furniture and the
jury in magistrates Court awarded

the usurious interest.
"This, (" says our correspondent, lis
a typical case, and hundreds of others
like it can be cited. -
A very few such cases should be
enough to insure the provision OF a
prompt and thorough remedy for the
evil they represent. The jury IN the
Columbia case did well, of course: but
few such cases reach the attention OF
magistrates and juries anywhere. The
very ignorant and poor victims OF the
sharks are too ignorant to know that
they have been swindled, or to protect
themselves if they know it. The
Columbia victim was an exceptional
one, as we'll as typical one. He got
his money back. We shall not under
take to say what the Legislature can,
or should DO, to break up the robbery,
but it is plain at any rate that some
thing should be done, when there are

DARE DEVIL BURGLAR
Rifles Gannaway's Store of
It's Contents and Then
Calls Conveyance
TO CART THE STUFF AWAY FOR
HIM, BUT PLANS GOT
SPOILED.
Was Detected. but Before Patrol or
His Conveyance Arrived HE
Skipped Out.
OFFICERS HAVE A GOOD CLUE

An unknown negro made an at,
tempt to burglarize S. L. Gannaways7
store last night, which for daring is,
almost unparalleled
He secured entrance into the store,
frame structure on South Main
street, and rined it pretty thoroughly.
After securing what groceries he
needed, he found that his personal ca
pacity for transporting the goods to-
the intended destination was not sui
ficently adequate to meet the demands
of the situation. This did not perturb
him in the least, however Bringing
a telephone in the store to his assist
ance, he rang up both depots, askinE
each to send out conveyance OF some
kind to the store There were no We
hicles at hand at either place, but
central" volunteered to tell him he
could procure a vehicle at Riley 3
stable He was connected with
Riley's and. as result, carriage
was promised shortly.
Despite the daring shown by the ne
gro his plans We're doomed to faH
through. Dr. II. E. Williams passed
the store about the same time that
the negro was making his haul. The
disturbed cCtdition of the store was
observed by him and he went to MI.
Irving Reinberger's residence just
north of the store, and teiephoned the
police.
The noise made by Dr. Williams
frightened the negro away and both
carriage and police patrol arrived to
find that the thief had taken his de
parture.
The officers are hopeful of appre-
hending the negro, clue having been
left by the burglar which may lead to
his arrest

Beehe, Ark, Feb. 21-Dave Milen,
who lives in Lonoke county, several
miles southwest Of here, came near
unusual way few days ago. A rope
was tied to the joist of his humble
homo ard for pastime he got upon
chair and tied the rope around his
neck. Merely for mischief his wife
knocked the chair from under him.
OF course he was left dangling in the
air. and but for his wife's presence OF
mind in cutting him down he would
have expired in very short time.

matter on record.
The Cards Stacked.

The Cards Stacked.
The fact is that there is surprising
unwillingness on the part OF many
who have been heretofore outspoken
in the demand for "justice to Schley'
to talk about the case for publication.
This even applies to number Of Dem
ocrats. The average senator and con.
gresham does not care to antagonizc
the chief magistrate, particularly
when he believes nothing can be ac-
complished by SO doing, the cards
being stacked against him. Neverthe-
less there is still very decided and
strong Schley sentiment and criti
cisms of the presidents 'memoran.
dunn" by members and senators are
very severe.
1t is certain that for a time at least
the Schley case will be discussed.
perhaps in each house. but even if
there should be a cessation of talk it
may be also up again.
Political Feature
Politically Democrats are inclined
to believe that the presidents decision
on Rear Admiral Schley's appeal
which his friends say should never
have been made, will harm the Repub-
lican party. and they take some con-
ISOLATION in that fact. Republicans de-
ny that the case is likely to assume
political phase, particularly as Rear
Admiral Schley declares that he is
candidate for no office.
Senator Berry's View.
Senator Berry, of Arkansas. said:
"The overwhelming majority of the
people of the country fully believe
Schley won the victory at Santiago
and is entitled to credit and such
opinion cannot be reversed. l think
Schley made a mistake in appealing
to the president when he knew if the
president decided in his favor he
would be compelled to reverse his pre-
decision and to dismiss his secretary
of the navy.

President Benjamin Z. Rich was the
principal speaker at the Mormon serv-
Ices yesterday afternoon in the tab
ernacle. His theme was the work be-
ing accomplished by the missionaries
all over the world; the hardships they
are compelled TO endure for the sake
of their church, and the reward they
will receive when their earthly labors
are completed
He was followed by Elder Matthias NJ.
Cowley. who addressed the large con-
gregatiOn on the tenets and eanons of
the church. He said he objected 10
the Mormon faith being classed with
the Protestant religions of the world;
that it was the faith, and should stand
out by itself. He said it was a reli-
gion which would stand forever on the
face of the earth. Touching upon the
Eiks' grand lodge and annual reunion
week before last. he said il was with
pride that he was able TO say that not
one complaint of 'hold-up" had been
registered against the church or a Nor

MAN Is MISSING.
Friends of John Griffths Are Wor-
ried Over His Absence.

Mt. Pleasant, Aug. 24-Relatives in this
city of a young man named John Grit
fiths are very much concerned over his
continued mysterious absence and some
facts connected with the same.
Griffiths left here several months ago
and went 10 Eureka where he obtained
employment, in company with other
young men from here. Later he left and
has not been seen or heard of since, al
though inquiries have been made con-
stantly in places where he is known and
where he would naturally have gone.
A short time ago one OF the young men
who had been working with Griffith:
while in the neighbOrhood of the camp in
Tintic where they had been employed to-
gether. discovered the missing mans
clothing, including everything he had had
on him when last seen. From the Pile oil
clothing barefooted tracks were discov-
cred leading off a short distance, when
they disappeared altogether
His relatives here are OF the opinion
that Griffiths has made away with him
self, as he was a heavy drinker, and while
under the influence of liquor was inclined
to be subject to fits OF dependency. He
He was a coal miner by profession, hav-
ing been born and reared in Pennsyi-
