An Enelish Opinion

John f. Fraser an English writer
and statist, says that he believes the
British artisan superior to the Ameri-
can workman, but that the American
manufacturer, the employer and the
director of labor is infinitely superior
to his British prototype. The chief
reason America is pushing ahead as
an industrial nation is through ability
in administration. Give the British
workman time and he will turn out
better article than anybody else,
but the American is alert, has rest
for his work and is more or less Of an
inventor. While we creep in Eng
land, Mr.. Fraser says, America
bounds.

away by their loud singing and cheer

West Haven the carriage was stopped
by officer French, who informed the
occupants that he had no objection to
their enjoying themselves as long as
they were quiet, but as 1t was early
Sunday morning they must make no.

he let them proceed but after they got
short distance away they were even
more boisterous than before, if possi-

PRErENDER REPORTED TAKEN.
HIS Forces Said to Have Been Utterly
Routed


Tangier. Feb. 1.-The sultan's troops
have utterly routed the forces of the
Moorish pretender, and captured Blu
Hamara himself.
A special courier who arrived to-day
after making a record Journey from Fee
brought this news. He reports that at
daybreak last Thursday the army of the
sultan, commanded by the war minis
ter, El Menebhi, attacked the pretend
ers position and inflicted a complete de-
feat on his following. at the same time
capturing Blu Hamara.
Another runner who has reached here
from Fez confirms the news of the de-
feat of the rebels, but say that the re-
port of the capture of the pretender is
incorrect. He adds that it is uncertain
whether Bu Hamara's body was among
the great number slain. The sultan's
victory was absolute. almost the entire
following of the pretender being either
slain or captured. His camp, provisions,
and ammunition We're taken and the
artillery which was lost by the sultan's
army in the battle of December %, was
recaptured. Even if Blu Hamara es-
capped it is hopeless for him to seek
to retrieve his defeat as his claim to
be saint is exploded. The details re-
garding the battle are meagre, but it is
known that the pretender's camp was
surrounded and rushed at dawn.
There was great rejoicing here at the
sultain's victory. y

Ordered Out Troops Because Situation
Demanded Such Action.
Meriden, Feb 1.--Governor Abiram
Chamberlain passed a busy day as a
result os the riot that developed in
connection with the trolley strike in
Waterbury last night and early this
morning. The states executive had
been watching the situation in the
Brass city closely and after the vio-
lence of last night he decided that the
time for action had arrived. Albert B.
Durham, the high sehriff of New Ha-
ven county, had been called to the
| scene by his deputy in Waterbury and
spent the day in that city. From time
to time during the day the sheriff COM
municated with the governor. The lat
ter urged upon the sheriff the expedi-
ency of so adjusting things as to rem
der unnecessary any state interference
or action. but late this afternoon from
reports which were communicated to
him at his residence in this city the
governor decided to take heroic action.
Accordingly, he notified Adjutant Cen
eral Cole of the conditions and in
structed him to summon a portion of
the state militia. BY orders of the
governor parts of two regiments the
First and the Second were summoned
to their respective. armories. Eight
companies from the First regiment, in
Guiding the Hartford battalion, and
companies from Rockville, South Man
chester New Britain and Bristol and
artillery pieces in the shape of two
to the Second Regiment armory at 6:45
6:45 were ready to leave for Water
bury In New Haven the five compa-
MES of the Second regiment were called
to the Second Regime tnarmory at 6:45
and the governor was advised at 7:3O
that the battalion was ready to move
Governor Chamberlain when asked
why the militia had been pressed into
service, said:
Because the situation demands it. I
hesitated about it but every effort has
been made by the local authorities in
Waterbury to avert violence, and to-
day it seemed apparent that wisdom
dictated prompt and energetic action if
law and order and the welfare of the
city and state were to be conserved"
The governor said that during the
day he had received messages from
Mayor Kilduff and from the board of
public safety in Waterbury announcing

TO TAKE OFF CHICAGO FLYER.
Pennsylvania VIII Relieve Fraight
Congestion In This Way.

Pennsylvania Will Relieve Frafght
Congestion In This Way.
Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-Discontinuance
of the Pennsylvania special, 2O-hour-
train between New York and Chicago,
over the Pennsylvania railroad and the
Fort Wayne will be ordered within a
few DAYS. Freight congestion is the
cause for this action. For several
months it has been found impossible to
maintain on this train the fast schedule
assigned to it, without frightful sacri-
fee to freight traffic.
S. NJ. Provost, third vice president of
the road, said when asked about the re-
ported 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 de-
mands on our system without sacrifice
ing some of our fast trains.
son Thursday next the first move in
this direction will be made, when the
20-hour special between New York and
Chicago viii be discontinued. ....,.
The high speed at witch this train is
run to make the schedule time necessi-
tates the keeping of the tracks clear
to avoid accident, and the extreme care
thus taken to protect the public from
possible injury interferes seriously with
the freight traffic"
The running Of this train will not be
removed until the congestion of freight
is fully relieved

Kissed and Jeered ut as They Passed
Through Meadow Street.-The TIip to
the Brass CIty-OGher Items.
The Sunday quiet of this city was
disturbed yesterday by the ringing of
| fifteen strokes of the fire bell, twice,
and the marshaling of all the troops
located in this city. At noon yesterday
a notification was received from the
state military headquarters to the ef-
feet that the Second regiment was apt
to receive a call at any moment to
| proceed to Waterbury to assist in the
suppression of mob violence.
All the captains were notified and
they spent the afternoon in an attempt
to notify as many of their company as
possible This was particularly difficult
as numbers had gone away to spend
the day and others could not be To-
Gated.
AT 6:43 o'clock fifteen strokes of the
fire bells were sounded. This is the
call for all the militia in this city to
assemble at the armory with all posi-
BILE speed, and 1t was no sooner sound
ed than the members of the various
companies commenced to arrive. AT
o'clock a special train of seven cars
was backed into the west end Of the
Union station ready 10 await the ar
IN
Waterbury.
At 7:25 o'clock as there were many
soldiers who had not yet arrived it was
decided to ring the fire military call
] again to expedite matters. This was
done and in the meantime those who
had arrived were making speedy prepa-
rations to leave this city.
The fifteen strokes of the big fire
alarm bell had hardly sounded the first
time before the central telephone sta
tion was besieged with inquiries and
the streets in the center of the city
took on an aspect unwonted on Sunday
evening. 1t did not take long for the
news to circulate that the state militia
had been called out for duty at Water
, bury, where for three full weeks the
trolley strike has absorbed attention.
When the call was again sounded the
Second Regiment arnory afforded
scenes of considerable excitement. 1t
was remarked that the khaki uniforms
of the states soldiers looked out of
place against the background Of superb
decorations now being put In place in
the armory in preparation for Yale's'
annual society function, the Junior
promenade, scheduled for Tuesday
night. Colonel Sucher of the Second
regiment was at the armory upon the
stroke of the bell and assumed COM
mand of the assembling battalion. At
| 7:30 he advised Governor Chamberlain
at Meriden that the New Haven militia
awaited further orders.
| AS the troops in their final prepara-
tions to leave the armory formed by
companies and Colonel Sucher took ac-
tive command they were given cheer
by friends who had gathered to bid
them good bye The battalion left the
armory at $50 and marched to the
railroad station. AS they emerged
from the armory the soldiers were
made the object of an unpleasant DEM
onstration. A fairly large crowd had
gathered and at sight of the men there
arose a chorus of jeers. Over the en-
tire march the men, We're hooted at and
hissed. At the railroad station a still
larger crowd had gathered and all
sorts of epithets were hurled at the
members of the battalion.
