COAL OPERATORS REPLY TO
CHARGES OF GOVERNMENT
Say They We're Forced to Raise Prices
to Meet Increase in Wages and
That Politics Played Import
ant Part.

Philadelphia.--Th Reading COM
pany, the Philadelphia K Reading Rail-
way company and the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal & Iron company on Sat
urday filed their answers 10 the suit
OF the federal government to break
up the alleged monopoly existing in
the anthracite coal region OF this
state. The answer OF the three con-
Germs OF which George F. Baer Is
president, makes general denial OF
the governments allegations and goes
into the first great strike in the, hard
coal fields and It's relation TO the presi-
Dental campaign Of 1900 when Nc
Kinley was elected. II Is declared
that the agreements to advance the
price of coal were brought about In
1900 by the violence and intimidation
of striking mine workers, by the
failure OF the United States govern
ment and the state Of Pennsylvania
to enforce the law and protect the
coal companies and by the importuni-
ties OF the late Marcus A. Hanna, who,
IL Is alleged, was anxious TO end the
strike OF the miners on account OF the
presidential election.

JUST A LITTLE PRAcTlcE7
Frenchmen Say Conflict With Morocco
is Not a War.

Rambouillet-The cabinet ministers
met here on Saturday and discussed
the Moroccan situation with President
Fallieres. Although desperate fight
ing occurred between the French
troops and the Moors near Casablan-
ca, August %. during which the Moor
ish fanatics demonstrated their cum
ming and tactical ability and bravery,
it is secuted that France has a real
war on it's hands. with a probability
of long and enormously expensive
compaign in Morocco.
At the conclusion of the conference,
a dispatch was sent General Drude, the
French commander at Casablanca, CIV
ing him instructions in regard to his
future movements, but the nature of
the steps determined upon was not an
nounced. Honors were voted for sew
eral officers and men who were wound
ed at Casablanca. General promotion
of the participants in the engagements
has been arranged.

made on Inspector J. w. Hall, who
was starting the cars for the United
Railroads.
Fearing the rush of the angry crowd,
Conductor James Watkins and Motor
man F. l.. Duston of Suffer street car
No. 1915, drew their revolvers and
fired into the mob. This Infatuated the
crowd still more, and the fighting soon
extended along Market street from
the ferry to the junction of Sansome
and Suffer streets, distance of about
seven blocks.
When one of the union men was ar
rested, the crowd attempted to rescue
him, throwing bricks and stones at
the officers The mob was finally
driven away from the station.
Car No. 1915 had proceeded as far
as Suffer street, followed all the way
by a hooting crowd of men and boys
who bombarded it with bricks and
other missiles. At this point the crew
of the car agai discharged their re-
volvers in self-protection and John
Peterson received a serious wound in
the groin. The conductor and motor
man are under arrest.

Furthermore, in the 500 are to be
counted all who come by way of the
Hawaiian islands.
