SULTAN WINS BY COUP.
Brings Brother to Fetz, Thus Soreiy
Discreditinq Pretender.

Tangier, Morocco, Jan. 5.-According
to official news received here from
Fee the adroit movement of the sultan
in bringing his brother Mulai NOLAN.
med to the capital has attained the de-
sired object of depriving the preten.
der to the throne of his prestige, and
the latter has retired, discredited, to
Taxa. He has been deserted by a
number of the local tribes, who dis
persed to make sure of their booty.
Buhamara, 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 Moham
med has made solemn entry into
Fee acclaimed by the popuIace.
The sultan has announced the ap-
pointment of Mulai Mohammed as
governor of the province of Fee, thus
disproving the rumors that Mulai
Mohammed aspired to the throne
When this had been done, according
to the official authority for these state
ments, the tribes around Fee swore
fidelity to the sultan and denounced
Buhamara as an imposter whom they
would prevent from coming to Fee.
All immediate danger disappeared
The routes from Fee to the coast are
open. 1t IS said the sultan is now pre-
pairing a large expedition with the in
tention OF crushing the rebellion.
AdviceS received here from Fee,
under date of December 20, are to the
effect that the members of the Hama
tribe, who were fighting for the pre-
tender, have declared their allegiance
to the sultan. Twenty thousand
troops have reached Fee from the Sus
district. The sultan has placed his
brother Mulai Mohammed in command
Of the expedition against Buhamara.

Pretender to Morocco's Throne Makes
Statement.

Tangier. Morocco, Jan. 3.-The pre-
tender has issued a proclamation an
nouncing that he is not fighting for
the throne for himself but for the sui.
tan's Imprisoned brother. Mulai Mo-
manned, surnamed the "One-Eyed."
It Is now confirmed that the sultan
has ordered his brothers. release and
the honors of his rank be paid to him.

ence with the Kabyle chiefs, pointed
out to them that they are responsible
for the safety of the roads running.
II the situation becomes more grave
the sultan will abandon the capital, re-
tire to Rabat and summon the border
troops to holy war. The sultan will

TRIED TO SAVE HIS VALUABLES.
Mysterious Joe Howard Was Wound
ed Three Times in the Fight.

Clinton, Ia, Dec. 29.-One of the
most sensational hold-ups in the his
tory of the city occurred here recent
ly when three masked men entered
the apartments Of Joe Howard and
three companions and demanded
their valuables. Howard had a belt
around his waist containing $1,000,
and $3.50 in his pocket, beside a val
liable diamond ring and diamond
stud, and would not give up his val
uables
He grappled with one of the robbers,
and in the struggle that ensued, was
shot three times. However, owing to
the fact that the men were locked In
tight embrace, the robber could not
get a good shot, and all his bullets
struck at such an angle that serious,
but not fatal wounds were inflicted.
Seeing that he could not escape the
robber, Howard fell at the last shot
and feigned death, but the robber was
not to be baked and commenced to
hunt for the mans money, whereupon
the struggle was renewed. The rob-
Der got diamond pin from Towards
tie, but while trying to take a ring
from the latters finger, Howard Sc
cured the pin and threw it into a GUS
pidore. When his pistol emptied, the
robber struck Howard on the head,
laying open the scalp.
Howard then kicked out the win
dow and called murder, "whereupon
the burglars fed. While the fight
was in progress one of the other rob-
bers relieved Towards companions
of their valuables and 5000, while the
other stood guard at the stairs. There
is no clew.
The robbery raised the question as
to who Howard Is and what is his
business. He has elegantly furnished
apartments and appears to be wealthy.
He came here from Chicago several
months ago, but has never made
known his business. He does not con-
duct gambling house. yet gamblers
are his companions. He gets several
kilograms each day, but there is moth
| ing to indicate his business.

Off Fingers Of Young Lady.

New York, Jan. 2.-Henry Goodman
10 years of age, was arrested just
before midnight, charged with hav,
ing attempted to cut off young wo.
mans hand to obtain the diamond
rings displayed on her fingers. The
attack was made In full view Of scores
of merrymakers, including two men

Miss May Lewis started out with their
escorts for an automobile ride and
later went to supper. 1t was after IL
o'clock when the start was made for
home. Soon something went wrong
with the machine and the two men
got down to examine 1t. Miss Lewis
held handbag which contained a
small amount of money. On the
fingers of Miss Matthews left hand
filtered diamonds, 1t Is said fully
worth $500. ..
Suddenly from the crowd sprang a

brandishing his knife in the faces OF
those who sprang to the rescue, dash
ed west along Houston street. After
long clase he was captured. but
did not surrender until beaten into

al impression was that an attempt
had been made to murder the girl
and had IL not been for the policeman
he would Jared badly. The officer
had to fight off his pursuers and at
the same time prevent the prisoner
from stabbing him with the knife
which he used on Miss Matthews
With much difficulty Goodman was
taken to the station, where he said
he intended to cut off the girls hand
for the rings.

Shortest Railway in the World.

Probably the shortest paying street
railway in the world, and certainly
one where more rides can be obtained
for a dollar than any where else in
America, is the Angel Flight" in Los
Angeles, Cal. Formerly the pretty
residence portion of the city, Olive
Heights, could only BE reached either
by a long detour or climbing up
great number of very steep steps. One
of Los Angeles's citizens conceived
the idea that railway up the steep
incline could be made to pay and with
in a few weeks he had his road in
operation. The road is $50 feet in
length between terminal points and
rises 100 feet in this distance; it is
built on the three rail automatic turn
out system. The two cars, Olivet
and Sinai, are attached to the ends Of
a double cable, which is wound over a
drum operated by ten horse power
electric motor at the top of the hill.
AS one car goes up the other descends,
the two cars counterbalancing each
other and thus effecting a great saving
of power. Entering a lower station,
the first thing we notice is the "bill of
fare" one ride, 8 cents; three rides,
10 cents; ten rides, 25 cents; 100 rides,
