MOORISH suLrAn's WISE MOVE.
Brings About Reconciliation With
Brother and Deals Death Blow to
Rebels.

According to news received in Tan
gier. Morocco, from Fez. the adroii
move Of the sultan in bringing his
brother, Mulai Mohammed, to the cap
ital, has attained the desired object OF
depriying the pretender of his pres
tige, and the latter has retired, dis
credited, to Laza
He has been deserted by a number
Of the local tribes, who dispersed to
make sure of their booty.
Buhammara, the pretender having
claimed the intention OF enthroning
Mulai Mohammed, his rebellion has no
longer any reason to continue, as the
sultan has publicly reconciled himself
with his brother, and Mulai Mo-
manned has made solemn entry into
Fee, acclaimed by the populace. The
sultan has announced the appointment
of Mulai Mohammed as governor of
the province of Fee, thus disproving
the rumors that Mulai Mohammed as
pired to the throne. When this had
been done, according to the official au-
thority for these statements, the tribes
around Fee swore fidelity to the sui
tan and denounced Buhammara as ali
imposter, whom they would prevent
from coming to Fee.
All immediate danger has disap-
peared. The routes from Fee to the
coast are open. 1t is said the sultan
is now preparing a large expedition,
with the intention of crushing the re-
bellion.

LAW TO PREVENT STRIKES.
Governor Stone Of Pennsylvania Urges
Compulsory Arbitration.

In his message 10 the Pennsylvania
legislature. Governor Stone devotes
considerable space 10 the recent an
thracte strike. He says that the strike
OF the anthracite miners and their az
sociato workmen was the most import
ant and far-reaching event of It's kind
that ever occurred in the state and
that the expenses incurred by the
state In connection with the disturb
ances caused by the strike will exceed
100000
The governor urges the passage of
a law to prevent future labor disturb
ances, as follows:
In my judgment a compulsory arbi-
tration law could and should be passed
for the settlement OF difficulties be-
tween employer and employee. Such
law Is entirely constitutional and feas-
ible. looking upon strikes as injurious
TO the public. harmful to society and
destructive to life and property They
are generally settled after all harm
has been done. Why should not they
be settled before the harm is done.
and before large losses occur to life
and property? We should recognize
strikes as existing evils and as dan
gerous to the public good and. while
mindful OF the rights OF both employer
and employe, adjust. them from a
higher standpoint. namely. for the
good of society. the preservation OF
public peace. and life and property"
