THE REVOLT IN MOROCCO
Fighting Fierce on Both Sides-Pris.
oners Are Put TO Death.


For several months Morocco, in north
ern Africa, has been torn by internal
warfare owing to revolt headed by
religious fanatic named Omar Zarahuni.
This impostor began preaching holy
war against the Christians and rapidly
gained adherents among the fierce Berber
and other tribes. who are opposed to the
present Sultan owing to the acceptance
by the latter of many modern ideas. At
different times the troops of the Sultan
and those of the impostor, who also, 1t
seems, lays claim to the thrcEe, have
come into fierce collision and with vary
ing results. Now, the forces of Zarahuni
were defeated now it was the Sultan's
soldiers who were routed. Recently, ac-
cording to latest reports, the Sultan's
troops met with q serious defeat near
Taxa, the headquarters of the rebels. The
cavalry of the latter broke through the
imperial ranks and the soldiers of the
Sultan. becoming demoralized, broke and
fed, abandoning their guns, rifles, ammu-
milton. tents and beasts of burden. 1t is
said that 1000 of the Sultan's troops
were killed or wounded. Those who es-
capped were chased to the gates of Fee,
the capital, where they are now awaiting
attack by the pretender's forces.
The serious condition of affairs has
aroused various European governments
and both England, France and Spain are
ready to throw troops into the country
for the protection Of Christians should
the danger become more acute. There
are 10000 Christians in Morocco, 1900
of whom live in the seacoast cities, which

The Coal Situation.


Poor people at Kankakee helped them
selves to coal from cars unmolested by
railway officials, who were aware Of
the proceedings.
Managers of Indiana railroads were
summoned by Gov. Durbin to a confer
ence at Indianapolis to plan relief. a To-
ledo grand jury is investigating an alleg-
ed combine of dealers.
A congressional Investigation of the
entire coal situation has been ordered by
the national house. The committee as
signed to work will begin the inquiry at
once and learn the facts from every side.
Twenty cars of coal were sidetracked
in the railroad yards at Tuscola. H.,
Monday and confscated. Bankers, law
yers and business men led the raid under
a promise of protection by Mayor Rob
erts. All coal taken was paid for and
the money will be turned over to the rail
road company. The situation in central
Illinois is desperate, and reports indicate
passing coal trains are liable to be held
up en- route to Chicago at any station.
A door fell off sealed freight car III
Chicago by accident The car was label
ed paper" When the door broke coal
fell out. There were forty other cars
all box ears and all labeled paper
In the train. Whether these contained
coal was not known.
Coal purchased at prices ranging from
$4.75 to SS.25 during October and No
vember was sold for $40 a ton by V.
Baldwin Johnson, a Washington, d. c.,
dealer, according to his evidence before
the Senate committee which is investi

FORTY TRAINS OF COAL A DAY
Heavy Receipts of Bituminous Fuel in
Chicago.

Seven different lines of railroads,
known as the coal roads, entering Chi
cago have been supplying that city with
forty train loads of bituminous AQal daily
since the winter set in. From 200 to
1900 car loads, averaging thirty-five tons
each, have been delivered to dealers each
day, and yet the consumer has been I'M
able to understand why he cannot get
what he wants when he wants it.
The coal roads" entering the city with
the product of western mines are the
Illinois Central, the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois, the Wabash and the Panhandle.
They tap mining region within radius
of 200 miles of Chicago. The lines which
haul coal into the city from the mines
of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio
are the Baltimore and Ohio, the Penn
sylvania and the Lake Shore.
When trainload of coal reaches the
city the railroad people send notice to
the shippers office, and the shipper at
once begins the work of supplying the
consumer. He notifies the railroad to
deliver so many cars to the team
tracks," where it can be transferred to
wagons, or to his private yard or, as is
done with certain large customers, to the
customers yard direct.
Here is where cold weather upscts the
calculations of the dealers and c0nsum-
ers. Nothing handicaps railroads OPP
Grafton like a temperature near zero.
Brakemen, switchmen and engineers can
not work to an advantage when freezing
weather prevails. Even the engines are
hampered by zero weather. Consequently
there is trouble for everybody concerned
in the future of a ton of coal

Votes Off Coal Duty.
In the House the bill providing for
coal duty rebates passed III short order.
The five who voted against it were Cush-
man and Jones of Washington, Games OF
West Virginia. Mondel of Wyoming and
Patterson of Pennsylvania. The bill was
considered under the operation of a rule
| which cut off opportunity to amend. The
| only opposition to the measure came
| from some of the members representing
coal States, who expressed the fear that
| the admission of Chincse-mined coal from
Canada would injure the coal industry
| i'll their States.
Both Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania and
| Mr.. Payne of New York expressed the
| opinion that the bill would not relieve
| the existing distress. They said it would
satisfy public demand for action and
show the disposition Of Congress to do
| what it could.
The Democrats, although they all sup
| ported the bill, said that coal should go
| on the free list, and when the bill came
| back from the Senate with Il provision
which virtually placed anthracite on the
| free list they applauded vigorously. The
| Senate amendment was adopted without
division.
The Senate went further than the
| House, for it adopted an amendment
which practically puts anthracite on the
| free list, by adding a section to prevent
| the imposition of Il duty on anthracite
| after the. expiration of the time pro
/ vided for in the bill.
