ATTACK PUERTO PLATA.

General Rodriguex Forced to Re-
tfre-1ay Proclaim Himself.
Reports received from Puerto Plata,
on the northern coast of Santo Domingo,
say that the troops of the fugitive Presi-
dent Morales, under the command OF
Gen. Demetrio Rodriguez. attacked
Puerta Plata at 10 o'clock the previous
morning. The fighting. which was Sc
we're, lasted until o'clock in the evening,
when the besieging force retired. A num-
Der of men were killed or wounded on
both sides in the engagement, in which
bayonets and swords were used principal
ly. The forces of Gen. Rodriguez, which
are massed outside Puerto Plata, were
preparing for another attacll on the
place. a part of the population of Puerto
Plata has declared in favor of Morales
and street fighting has occurred, the
supporters of Morales shooting from the
windows of their houses at the troops of
Gen. Caceres. the temporary president
of Santo Domingo. These troops were
experiencing difficulty in defending them
selves, as they were unable to find the
persons firing on them. A messenger
from Monte Cristi brought the news that
Gen. Rodriguez has announced that if
his attack on Puerto Plata is successful
he will proclaim himself candidate for
the presidency of Santo Domingo.

A few hours after 17-year-old Robert
Collier had been murdered and his body
thrown on the railway tracks in Chi
cago. another youth, William j. Moran,
10 years old, was arrested and confessed
the crime. Golfers body was found on
the Nickel Plate tracks within 200 feet

They believed Collier had been struck
on the head and stabbed. The skull was
fractured, and there were evidences OF
a struggle in the rear of barn owned
by Policeman John Swiggert. The body
apparently had been dragged to the
tracks. Shortly after the finding of the
body the police began arrestng friends
and acquaintance of Collier. Among
fifteen taken to the station were William
and Edward Moran. the latter 10 years
old. William Moran made this state
ment: Il met Collier about $50 o'clock
in the evening. We went to my house,
where we had supper, and about Z
o'clock we went to the barn back of his
house. We climbed to the hayloft by
ladder, and, seating ourselves, began
talking about the construction of locomo-
tives. A short time ago Collier got work
at the Pullman ear shops, and, as l am
working on the Illinois Central, we both
knew something about them. We dis
agreed and in the fight that followed l
shot Collier after he struck me. Then

AN IMPENDING CRISIS.
Part New COnstnbulary VIII Play in
Pennsylvania Strikes.

Part New COnstabu1ary VIII Play in
Pennsylvania Strikes.
There are indications of a long and
bitter strike in the anthracite coal re-
gions and financiers with vast interests
in the coal roads privately declare that
the anthracite mine workers will be do
ing we'll if they have any work to do
for three months after March 10. 1t is
particularly significant that retail coal
dealers supplying the anthracite field
have been for months past urging their
patrons to lay in years supply of coal
and that every storage yard in the region
is taxed to it's utmost capacity with do
nestle sizes of anthracite.
In such a strike the new State con-
stabulary will take a part. The law
creating the State constabulary provides
for four troops, each consisting of one
captain, one lieutenant. five sergeants
and fifty privates. Every private will
be soldier who has seen actual service
in the field. The law calling out this mo-
bile force of armed men was enacted by
the Pennsylvania Legislature at its last
session and while it is possible that one
or two companies of the National Guard,
recruited right in the heart of the anthra-
cite field, might waver in finish fight
at the mines the picked men of the con-
stabulary will follow the code of the reg
ular army and will perform their work
as they face it.
There was no excuse for organizing
this force of sharpshooters except the
impending strike in the anthracite region
which will call out 1S5 600 men Under
the law the constabulary has authority
similar to that of a sheriff who. in
Pennsylvania, is law unto himself in
all matters coming under his personal
observation. This new armed force can
go anywhere in the State, just as the
judges may, and once there may act
with or without the consent of the

if there are more than two teachers it
receives $500. For this $50. 900 has been
required heretofore, but so popular is
the movement that this year this appro-

this law requires that school with
