Foreign Consus Out of Fee.

London, Jan. 14.-The Tangier cor
respondent OF the Leader reports seri-

he escaped to the westward. War
Minister Minebbi, one of the sultan's

protection of warships. A local pasha
took out force to restore order, but
he found it impossible to proceed and
has returned to Tangier

habitants of Fez have arisen against
the sultan and that anxiety reigns at
Rabat where the Europeans are in
fear of an immediate attack by the
pretender's forces. The sultan's rep
resentative at Tangier has been or
dered to seize cattle and to send re

Operators.

Acfance IN Cost OF Fuel NO Senert 70
Operators.
Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-Having &C.
:upied nearly three, days in calling
witnesses to testify to the demands
made by the anthracite miners, the
Delaware and Hudson company closed
its case before the coal strike commits
sion yesterday and the commission's
attention was then called to the condi-
tions existing in and about the col
lieries operated by the Erie company.
One of the principal witnesses called
before the commission was Thomas
F. Torrey coal sales agent of the Del
aware and Hudson company at New
York, who testified that the company
he represents is deriving no benefit
from the present abnormal price which
the public is paying for it's fuel.
Among other witnesses called by the
Delaware and Hudson were two physi-
clans, who gave testimony to show
that the occupation OF a mine worker
is not so unhealthy as has been stated.
A real estate agent testified to the
amount of property owned by the min
ers of the company, and an employe
of the Delaware and Hudson, who
made an investigation of the wages
paid to bituminous miners, showed
their pay was under that received by
the anthracite miners.

PROOF OF COAL COMBINE.
Chicago Grand Jury Hears Evidence of
Conspiracy to Keep Up Prices.

Conspiracy to Keep up Prices.
Chicago, Jan. 14.-Proof of how the
large coal dealers sought to compel
the small dealers to sell coal at the
price quoted by the alleged combina-
ton reached the special grand jury
yesterday, when Henry Peterson, one
of the small dealers, testified. Ac-
cording to Peterson, he visited the
Offices Of large coal company some
time ago and was given price list.
He had been purchasing his coal from
this company and was instructed, he
declared, to sell the coal at $40 ton.
He had a number of customers whom
he knew could not afford to pay such
prices and he sold them the coal at the
cost price without deducting the cost
of hauling AS a punishment for do
ing this, Peterson claimed, the COM
pany refused to sell him any more
coal and he has not been able to buy
any since from any of the other large
dealers, because of word sent out that
he would not keep up the price.
