subject.
The hostess assisted by her sou. Mas
ter Clay, very graciously received the
guests and seated them comfortably in
her parlor, where the decorations were
beautifully and tastefully arranged in
the form of our own loved flag. After a
very interesting program the guests
were each presented with a "Hatchet,'
on which was printed beneath, ques-
tions to he answered conc ,rning date 8

allowed to draw for n beautiful Japa-
nese fan, which fell to the lOt OF Mrs.
Fuqua. Then came most delicious re.
freshments in which the subject was
again in evidence-ices frozen in the
form OF George and Martha Washing
ton, appealing to our patriotism to
such an extent that one was loath to
satisfy the carnal appetite with a scene
80 sacred, however, the first taste only
lured us on, until the sentiment had
melted into the past.
A very pleasing feature of the after
noon was, a recitation by Miss Jourdan

COAL TO HAVE
RIGHT OF WAY
Pennsylvania Special Dis
continued to Permit
Freight Shipments.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. dis
continuance of the Pennsylvania spe-
eial, the twenty-hour train between
New York and Chicago, over the Penn.
sylvania & Fort Wayne, will be ordered
within few days. Freight congestion
is the cause for this action. For sew
eral months 1t has been found impos-
sible to maintain on this train the fast
schedule assigned to it, without &
frightful sacrifice to freight traffic
S. M. Provost, third vice president
of the road, said when asked about the
reported withdrawal of the train:
1--WE have been doing everything in
our power to facilitate the movement
of coal, but find we cannot meet the
demands on our system without sacri-
ficing some Of our fast trains.
'On Thursday next the first move in
this direction will be made, when the
twenty-hOur special between New York
and Chicago will be discontinued.
'"The high speed at which this train
is run to make the schedule time ne
cessitates the keeping of the tracks
clear to avoid accidents and the ex-
treme care thus taken to protect the
public from possible injury interferes
seriously with the freight traffic"
The running of this train will not be
renewed until the congestion of freight
is fully relieved.

REGULAR ARMY RIFLES
FOR CITIZEN SOLDIERS
State Militia to Be outfitted as Rapidly
as Possible.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. In
accordance with the terms of the new
militia law recently enacted by con-
gress, the entire citizen soldiery is to
be supplied with the regular service
rifle. The state militia organizations
aggregate approximately $4,000 men,
nearly double the number OF men in
the regular army establishment. They
will be furnished their arms as rapid
ly as they can be turned out by the
armory at Springfield. In addition to
this, the war department is establish
ing a plant at the Rock Island arsenal
for the manufacture of the service RI
fle, 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 upon the
supply Of the armories, from which the
officials must not draw upon the re-
serve too heavily.

SULTAN'S TROOPS
ROUT PRETENDER
Bu Hamara Dead or Cap
tured and His Following
Scattered.

TANGIER, Feb. I. - The sultans
troops have utterly routed the forces of
the Moorish pretender and captured
Blu Hamara himself.
A special courier who arrived today,
after making a record journey from
Fez, brought this news. He reports
that at daybreak last Thursday the
army Of the sultan, commanded by the
war minister, Ell Menebhi, attacked the
pretender's position and inflicted a
complete defeat on his following, at
the same time capturing Blu Hamara.
Another runner who has arrived here
from Fez confirms the news of the de-
feat of the rebels, but says that the re-
port of the capture of the pretender is
incorrect. He adds that it is uncertain
whether Blu Hamara's body was among
the great number Of slain. The sultan's
victory was absolute, almost the entire
following of the pretender being either
slain or captured. His camp, provis-
ions and ammunitions were taken and
the artillery, which was lost by the
sultan's army in the battle of Dec %.
was recaptured.

out that all Germanys leading exports

Russia is now sufficiently equipped for
a discussion with Germany. The new

hopes that mutual concessions will
