A MERGER SCHEME.
All Indiana Coal Interests Are to Be
Combined.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 31.-Indiana
coal operators are working on one Of
the largest merging schemes in the
history of the state. The plan is to
bring all of the controlling coal pro-
ducing interests in the state into one
company, absolute ownership is the
plan to be followed. The coal mining
interests of the state are worth over
thirty-fve million dollars. The plan
is to take in these properties lying
along the railroad lines.
A committee composed of A. NJ.
Ogle, of Indianapolis; ]. Smith Talley,
of Terre Haute, and George Seifert,
who has large mines in Sullivan coun-
ty, is making the moves and taking
options on properties. Some of the
largest coal mining interests in the
state are covered by options.
1t is said that the deal, if it goes
through. will be far more extensive
than simply the ownership of mines.
The company contemplates, it is I'M
derstood, equipping itself with its own
coal cars and to provide enough so
there will not be the present frequent
shutdown of the mines because of not
having cars on which to load the coal.

THE SUI TAN'S VICTORY
His Troops Routed the Forces
Of the Pretender.
The Victory Is Attributed More to the
SuItan's Bribery of Tribes Than
to Military Tactics, They De-
serting the Pretender.

Tangier, Feb. 2.-The sultan's troops
have utterly routed the forces of the
Moorish pretender and captured Blu
Hamara himself.
A special courier who arrived Sun.
day after making a record journey
from Fez brought this news. He re
ports that at daybreak last Thursday
the army of the sultan, commanded
by the war minister, Ell Menebhi, at
tackled the pretender's position and
inflicted a complete defeat on his fol-
lowing at the same time capturing Blu
Hamara
Another runner who has arrived
here from Fee confirms the news Of
the defeat of the rebels, but says that
the report of the capture of the pre-
tender is incorrect. He adds that it is
uncertain whether Blu Hamara's body
was among the great number slain.
The sultans victory was absolute, al
most the entire following of the pre-
tender being either slain or captured.
His camp, provisions and ammunition
were taken and the artillery which
was lost by the sultan's army in the
battle of December % was recaptured.
Even if Blu Hamara escaped it is hope
less for him to seek to retrieve his de-
feat as his claim that he is a saint is
exploded The details regarding the
battle are meager, but it is known that
the pretender's camp was surprised
and rushed at dawn.
There is great rejoicings here at the
sultan's victory.
London, Feb. "A dispatch from
Tangier to the Morning Leader men,
toned circGmstantial report current
in that city that Blu Hamara was
brought to Fee in cage and exposed
to public derision. The dispatch adds
that it is impossible to ascertain the
truth, and attributes the sultan's vic
tory more to his bribery of the tribes
than to military tactics. The bribed
rebels suddenly abandoned the pre-
tenders standard

REJECTED PROPOSALS
Another Proposition Sent to the
Allies by Minister Bowen.
Compromise in the Allied Powers Con-
tention for Preferential Treatment
in the Settlement of Claims
Against Venezuela Offered.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The allies have
rejected Minister Bowen's7 1ast pro-
posal, that all nations having claims
against Venezuela be given the same,
treatment as the blOckading powers.
The answers of the allies have been
received here and they reject the pro-
pOSal.
Propositions involving compromise
of the allied powers contention for
preferential treatment in the settle
ment of their claims against -Venezue-
la have been submitted to the govern
ments of Great Britain, Germany and
Italy by their representatives at Wash
ington and while no answers have been
received as yet, there is reason for
the belief that the allies will see a way
to accept the latest proposition. This
compromise has been suggested by one
of the representatives of the allies here
and while it has not formally received
the endorsement of Minister Bowen,
it is felt that he will not enter serious
objection to it's adoption, providing the
United States and the other claimant
nations outside the alliance can be
convinced that their own interests in
Venezuela will not be substantially in
jured by yielding to plan which
seems to offer a solution of the present
serious hitch in the Washington negO-
tiations.
The details Of the proposition now
under consideration by the three allied
nations are not obtainable but in gen.
eral way it is understood to be mOdi-
fication of the allies contention that
they be recognized as Venezuela's pre-
ferred claimants, in the payment OF
the indemnity. The plan suggested
provides that for a short period, per-
haps six months or year, Great Bril-
tain. Germany and Italy shall receive
exclusively 80 per cent. of the customs
receipts of the ports of Puerto CabellO
and La Guayra and that at the end OF
this period, the exact length of which
is yet open to decision, all the claim
ant nations be placed on the same foot
ing and at the expiration of that time
the 80 per cent of the receipts OF these
two ports be divided among all the
claimant nations, in ratio based on the
amount of each nations claim.
France has it in her power to con-
tinue the present deadlock in the
Washington negotiations. For while
the other un-allied claimants have out
standing against Venezuela certain I'M
adjusted claims, all Of the. French
claims are in very forward state.
Caracas, Feb. Fin reply to Min
lister Bowens inquiry as to what Vene-
zuela intends to do regarding the de-
mand for preferential treatment made
by the allies, President Castro has tele-
graphed:
1.-THE Venezuelan government desires
equal treatment for all the creditor ma
tions in Europe and America, keeping
in mind. in addition, it's diplomatic con-
ventions and anterior stipulations.'

Washington, Feb. I'm accordance
with the terms of the new militia law,
recently enacted by congress, the en-
tire citizen soldiery of the country is
to be supplied with the regular army
service rife The state militia organ
izatiOns aggregate approximately 49,

They will be furnished their new arms
as rapidly as they can be manufac-
tured by the national armOry at

plant at the Rock Island arsenal for
the manufacture of the service rifle,
though it will be some time before it
is ready for work. The department
has on hand a large reserve supply OF
rifles, sufficient almost to equip the
militia, but will rely mainly on the
product of the armories, as the off,
Gals prefer not to draw on the reserve
too heavily.

SCALE COMMITTEE.
No Decision Reached on Any Of
the Points Submitted.
The Illinois Operators Claim That
They Were Not On An Equality
With the Other Operators
of the District.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 31.-The joint
scale committee held it's first session
Friday afternoon. 1t consists of 16
miners and 16 operators. w. H. Has
kins, Of Pine Run, O., was selected
permanent chairman, and G. S.
Scroggs, of Illinois, permanent secre-
tary. Immediately after the perma-
nent organization was perfected mo-
ton was made that the scale, which
was submitted by the miners at the
morning session of the joint confer
ence, be adopted as presented. The
argument following the motion con-
sumed the entire afternoon, until adj
jOurnment at o'clock. No decision
was reached on any of the points sub
mitted.
The report of the credentials com
mittee seated 704 delegates in the con-
ference President Mitchell submit
ted the demands of the miners. He
cited many reasons the miners had for
making the demands for an increase
of wages this year. He said that the
country was passing through period
of unparalleled prosperity, but that
the miners were not receiving their
share of it, He wanted an adjustment
of the differential between pick and
machine mined coal and asked that
it be fixed at seven cents fiat.
The miners demands, which he read,
are as follows: q. Absolute run Of
mine basis for the entire competitive
field. 2. A fiat differential of seven
cents per ton between pick and ma
chine mined coal. 8. An advance of
1919 cents ton on pick and machine.
4. A 80 per cent. advance on all i'll
side day labor based on the Columbus
inside day scale agreement; uni
form scale for all outside day
labor, with prOpOrtiOnate ad-
vance with the mining rates. S.
That drivers and cagers shall be paid
the same as track layers-and timber
men,
Immediately after the demand Of the
the commissioner for the Illinois Oper-
ators, following the lead of Paul Pen
ma, the Indiana operators commission
er, in the convention Thursday, sub
mitted a lengthy statement setting
forth the reasons why the Illinois Op-
orators were not on an equality with
the other operators of the district and
that they should not have to agree I'd
scale on the same basis as the other
states of the competitive district.
The committee met Friday night
but adjourned after a half hours ses-
sion. 1t will report to the conference
Saturday morning that no agreement
has been reached. The entire matter
will be discussed at the general ses-
sion
The absolute run of mine, which is
demanded by the miners, is the first
stumbling block, in the way of an
agreement The operators are oppos-
ed to it and will stand firmly against
it. They say that Illinois is an exam
pie of the operation of such a basis.
They say that in places where that
system is used, the miners are care
less as to the quality of the coal and
that the screen system is much prefer
able to both operators and miners
