The Downfall Of Blu Hamara.

The latest news from Morocco indicates
that the sultan is at the end of his immedl-
ate troubles. He has defeated the pretend
er's army in a sharp fight, and, according
to one of the two couriers who have brought
the tidings through to Tangier from Fee,
has even captured Blu Hamara himself.
the second courier denies this statement,
but there seems to be no doubt that the IN
surrection has been given a severe II not
death blow Such an outcome would be
most gratifying to all who look for the ao-
vancement of northern Africa. reaction
airy movement in Morocco would have an
undeniably bad effect upon the adjacent
states, even those which are directly under
European suzerainty. The slumbering pas
sions and prejudices Of the Mohammedans
might easily be aroused and disastrous
consequences follow. Everything now points
to the rapid development of the southern
shore of the Mediterranean. French enter
prise is already at work there, and 1t Is
not to be doubted that with fair immunity
from reaction the Sahara will in a few
years be materially changed commercially,
around the northwestern edges at least.
Morocco is in position to rise rapidly UNI
der the leadership of progressive sultan
such as the present one.

sidious influences, does not take much ac-
count of superstitions, and not even the
wisdom of the strange people who know all
about the birds and beasts and their COM
munings with nature suffices to influence
trade and quotations to any material ex-
tent. Otherwise there would be no Sc
curity whatever, for every time pig ran
around the barnyard with straw in its
mouth coal would rise, and every time
swallow flew low the umbrella market
would be buled So today, with arctomys
shrinking from his shadow, there Is no
probability that the falling coal market
will be stiffened by the tradition. AS long
as anthracite is piling up by the thousands
of tons in such centers as New YORK, with
the demand slack and the prices tumbiing,
no amount of faith in the weather wisdom
of the beasts of the burrows will avail to
stay the drop.
A few days Of sudden and severe cold,
however, will greatly strengthen the public
confidence in the acumen Of arctomys, and
1t may have a temporarily bullish enect
upon the coal market. Having suffered Sc
yerely in coal shortage and price extortion
for the past three months the public Will
probably be able to stand four or even six
weeks of hardship of the same kind with
more complacency than that with wnlcn
they faced the opening of the winter.

in November, and it is safe to say that mad
Mr.. Quay's program been submitted at that
time it would have been rejected at the
polls. Conceding for the sake of argument
that much sympathy exists for Arizona and
New Mexico in their aspirations for state
hood, it is impossible to believe that the
people would be willing to pay the price de-
manded by Mr. Quay for the right to trans
act other business.
Neither would an extra session work any
hardship to the representatives of the peo-
pie not contemplated in the terms Of their
commissions. They are the sentinels on the
watch tower, or words to that effect. They
are expected to be ever watchful and ever
ready. Mems private engagements are
necessarily made subject to their public du-
ties. A trip abroad, or long holiday jaunt
here at home, is. or should be, as nothing
when it comes to attending to the country'si
interests after congressional blockade and
the injury it. inflicts.

Notable Speeches. Rumor Saws.

Rumor, which, despite even such we'll
kept rules as that of the Gridiron Club,
forbidding the reporting of speeches de-
livered at its celebrated dinners, is certain
to scatter intelligence abroad has spread
the knowledge that Senior Ojeda, the Span
ish minister to this country was one of
those who responded to calls for short talks
last Saturday night on tile occasion of the
annual dinner of the club Rumor further
more says that if ever a speech was deliv-
cred under such auspices which should have
been made in the open to all the world 1t
was such as this of the Spanish minister.
For 1t was a essage-rumor says-of good
will and admiration from the Spanish peo-
pie to the Americans, a hearty hand-clasp
across the sea from a people SO lately at
war with our own. Tactfully and elo-
quently Senior Oieda acknowledged the
hospitality of the Americans and praised
their generosity to a defeated foe, and in
connection Herewith he paid fit and adj
mirably expressed tribute to the yalor and
chiValry of his own countrymen The
storm of applause that followed his speech
showed that by it the two countries had
been brought to state of mutuality of
sentiment closer than for years past

The Ground-Hog and the Coal Rates.
