Great Battle in Morocco,

Last week battle fraught with far
reaching consequences to Morocco, and
possibly to all Christendom, was fought
between the armies of the young sultan
of that country and those of preten-
der by the name of Blu Hsmars. 1t was
q battle between the forces of modern
progress and those of darkness, cruelty
and superstition. The yonng sultan is
the son of very beautiful .Circassian
woman, for whom the Sultan's father
paid upwards of $4,000 in Constantine.
pie. According to the ordinary laws
and customs of Morocco he was not en-
titled to the throne, and for that and
other reasons he has had strenuous
time ever since lie became sultan. at
first the young ruler inflicted upon his
enemies punishments of the most in
human and revolving character. After
q time, however, 1t seems that change
came over him. He fsmilisrized him
self with modern methods and improve
ments and attempted to have them
adopted by his countrymen. His at
tempt led to open rebellion on the part
of his most superstitious subjects, with
the result announced in the press dis
patches in another column.

Tried to Prove Too Much.

Des Moines, Jan. 30.-The supreme
court reversed state case today be-
cause the county attorney at Burling-
ton, who tried the case, tried to prove
too much in his efforts to convict.
This was the case of David Roscum,
who was convicted of taking thirty-siX
peach trees and five apple trees from
the farm of one Anderson. The county
attorney had introduced evidence
showing that one witness had lost
some geese two years before and had
seen on the farm of the defendant
geese that looked like the ones he had
lost, and other similar testimony to
the prejudice of the defendant. The
supreme court sent it back on the
ground that the prosecutor was trying
to get too much into the record.

Compromise Proposition Made to the Al

Washington, Feb. 2. - Propositions
involving compromise of the allied
powers contention for preferential
treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela have been
submitted to the governments of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy by their
representatives at Washington. This
compromise provides. so it is said, that
the allies are to get the whole of the
30 per cent. of the Venezuelan customs
for time TO be agreed upon, and
thereafter the 80 per cent. is to be
divided among all those having claims.
A Caracas dispatch says: "The
French legation has notified the yene-
zuelan government that by virtue Of
the convention Of 1867 France was al
lowed to collect directly part of the
revenues of several customs houses in

FIGHT TO BE PRoTRAcfED
Between the Opponent. on the Scale Com
mittee That Is Considering the
Wages of Miners.

indianapolis, Feb. 2. The scale
committees of the miners and operators
met again this morning to resume con-
sideration of the demands of the min
ers for an increase of wages. Ex-
pressions of opinion indicate that the
session will be protracted and that if
the miners insist on the demands al
ready made there will be no agreement
reached, which will mean suspension
of work on April /. Both sidesS seem
determined and the operators say they
will never yield to the present de-
mands.
Many Of them do say, however, that
the miners should have some increase
this year and many believe that an in
crease of 10 per cent would be about
right Saturday the whole time Of the
scale committee was occupied in the
giving of reasons by the operators why
the miners should not have an in
crease, one being that the Whole de-
mand meant an increase in the cost
of ton of marketable coal of GO per
cent. Mitchell was the principal talker
for the miners and combatted the argu-
ments of the operators with vigor.
W. S. Boyle, head of the Indiana op-
orators, said last night that whatever
increase the miners got, if they got
any, would have to be borne by the
consumer,

Increase in the Production of Gold.

increase In the frOQuCL1On OF JOlQ.
The worlds production of gold was
$42,OOO,0OO greater in 1902 than it was
the previous year, caused largely by the
development of the new gold fields of
Alaska and South Africa, and the i'm
provements in gold saving methods.
What is more, the prospect Is quite
good that this increase will be kept up
for number of years to come. In that
event the worlds supply of gold will be
30 largely increased that the historians
will have occasion to record another
"golden age" such as the one expe-
rienced during the early fifties, when
California was pouring her thousand
millions of gold into the lap of nations.
Should the production of gold double
for few years 1t would be amusing to
watch the effect upon the men who de-
monetized silver. 1t would not take
them long to turn their tables and
clamor for the restoration of silver and
the demonstration of gold as they did
during the enormous output of gold
from the California mines.

versary at the Odd Fellows Hall, Thurs.
day evening, January 80, and served q
banquet to about eighty or ninety
guests, consisting of old soldiers, the

very interesting program, which was
and taken charge of by our
Patriotic Instructor, Mrs. A. c. Carter,

These patriotic gatherings at natal
days of our departed heroes are endors-
and re-endorsed by our national officers,
to encourage the spread of universal
liberty, so we begin by trying to inter-
est our neighbors, till, like ripple on
the water, it will spread from shore to
shore. Just now our Patriotic 1nstruc-
tor is arranging to hold appropriate
services for Lincoln's and Washington's
birthdays in which we expect to invite
the public to join us, that by our atlil-
alton with those outside our ranks, we
may secure their cooperation that in
our united efforts we may accomplish
much that will honor our heroes-the
veterans of the Grand Army of the Re.

erbury last night at the command of
Governor Chamberlain, because of
"the imperative need" occasioned by
the trolley strike situation. The riot
about the streets Saturday night,
coupled with threats of further dis
turbances, led to the call for troops.
There was no repetition yesterday of
the violence of Saturday night, but
crowds consregated about the streets,
and had to be dispersed by the police,
while there were rumors of an attack
to be made ut night on the car barns,
where the ron-union motormen and
conductors are quartered.
Cars Operated During Daylight

operated as usual with the non-union
men, but though there was some boot

cars We're not molested. No cars were
run after dark. Companies G and A,

ment of the Connecticut National Guard
We're called to their armory shortly

there under orders. Governor Cham
berlain when asked why the militia
had been ordered out, said: Because
the situation demands it." .
What Happened Saturday Night.
The trolley strike condition Satur-
day night reached the proportions of
general riot. Every car sent out
from the barns was greeted with vol.
leys of stones at various points, and
no car escaped without broken win
dows. Thousands Of people filled the
streets, and the police were powerless
to control the mob, and were at length
forced to request the Connecticut Rail
way and Lighting company officials tt
call in their cars. The request was com
piled with and the last car pulled into
the barn at 11:15 p. M, escorted b!
the police. One motorman was injured
SO severely by stone that car start

Olney for President

On different occasions during the
past two years this paper has said that
Mr.. Olney was, all things considered,
the best man for the democrats to nomi-
nate for the presidency next year. He is
an American of the most profound type,
man of extraordinary mental force
and democrat of the General Jackson
pattern. In doubtful states like New
York stalwart man like Mr.. Olney
would, in our judgment, stand far
better chance of defeating Mr. Roose
welt, than some eminently respectable
gentleman, who was never known to
express decided opinion upon any
public question.

HIS Professions SMASHED
Moorish Pretender's Army Defeated by the
Sultan and Practically Annihilated--
Pretender May Be Dead.

Tangier, Feb. 2.-The sultan's troops
have utterly routed the forces of the
Moorish pretender and, it was report
ed, captured Blu Hamara himself, but
this was later denied. A special courier
who arrived yesterday after making a
record journey from Fee brought this
news. He reports that at daybreak
last, Thursday the army of the sui
tan, commanded by the war minis
ter, Ell Menebhi, attacked the pre-
tenders position and inflicted a COM
plete defeat on his following.
Another runner who has arrived here
from Fee confirms the news of the de-
feat of the rebels. He adds that it is
uncertain whether Blu Hamara's body
was among the great number slain.
The sultan's victory was absolute, al
most the entire following Of the pre-
tender being either slain or captured
His camp, provision and ammunition
were taken and the artillery which
was lost by the sultan's army in the
battle of Dec. %, was recaptured.

In years past Senators Lodge, Aldrich
'snd P1atHsef Connecticut, have been
ardent in theif denunciation of sena-

the position that when q majority of

tion, that debate should be closed and q
vote ordered. But at the present time
they are reversing themselves in most
strenuous manner. Senator Quay has
good majority of the senate pledged
to vote for what is called the Omnibus

of New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma
during the present session of congress.
