STIR OVER NAVY YARD DISNIIS.
SAL.
Laying on OF Men at Washington 10
BE Investigated.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The disnlis-
sal OF 1000 employees OF the Wash
ington navy yard day or two ago be-
cause there was no work for them to
do and because contracts for guns and
other ordnance had been let to private
makers. has brought the matter ~ a
point where there is no longer a doubt
that when congress meets the repre-
sentatives Of all the navy yards in the
United States will join forces ana ask
for q thorough investigation oe the
matter. 1t Is claimed that what has
happened at the Washington yard
might happen at any OF the other
yards with no previous notice what
ever. that the summary laying of Of
| 1000 men means loss and hardship 10
themselves and their families and a
considerable curtailment OF business
to merchants and other trades people
doing business around the naval sta
tions
| In the present case 1t appears to be
the plan Of the navy department to
favor private contractors for the
policy" involved, and just on this
point 1t is expected that the various
representatives in congress from the
navy yard districts will make their
fight. They will claim, 1t is said. that
before such a large number Of mer
should be thrown out of work. just a.
the hardest season Of the year Is com
ing on, the matter should have beer
more carefully considered and thai
the men should have been notified
weeks ago. To throw them out o
work now, 1t is maintained. works {
severe hardship on them and one tina
they should not be made to suffer.
j Some idea Of what the loss woul,
be to other yards, should the sam
, thing happen, may be had when it
considered that the total force nov
employed at the Washington yard
3,100 men and boys. Therefore, re
duction to between 1000 and 2,4O(
which will be the result, means t
those interested the discharge Of fror
\ 100 to 1000 employees. Averagin
v the married and the unmarried, thos
:. with families dependent upon thel
y and those free. 1t Is estimated that tn
city of Washington will lose betvee
1000 and 5000 persons, by the er
forcing of the orders This will mea
). perhaps loss of $1,000 a day
trade.
1t Is not contemplated that the!
orders will affect any Of the oth'
yards, that Is, no men will be laid O
for the same reasons II appropriation
hold out.
IL The principle that will be fought Il
:. this winter will be whether 1t is bett
for the government to award contrac

quire this work to be done at t

MOORISH SULTAN BEATEN.
HIS ARMY DESERTS TO ENEMY
AFTER BRIEF BATTLE.
TrIbesmen Prove Treacherous-MulaI
Hafid's Rule Accepted In All
the Large Cities.

'Tangier, Aug. 25.-The defeat Of the
sultan, Abd-el-Aziz, by the forces Of
his brother, Mulai Haf1d, has been con.
prised and most Of his troops deserted
to the side Of the nsurping sultan
after the firing Of a few shots.
Reports indicate that the defeat Of
Abd-el:Aziz was due largely to the be-
trayal Of his own tribesmen. Mulai
Hafd has been proclaimed sultan Of
Morocco at Tangier and announce
ment Of the proclamation has been
telegraphed to all parts Of the coun-
try, All the officials who previously
have been under the rule Of Abd.el.
Aziz in this city declare that they
have accepted Mulai Hafd as their
leader, thereby making him supreme
in all the large cities Of Morocco.
Details Of the battle show that ADD
el-Aziz had an army the superior of
the enemy in numbers, but that his
artillery either failed to work or was
deliberately tempered with. Some Of
the guns exploded, throwing the
tribesmen into a panic. The vast ma
5or1ty OF these seized the opportunity
to fee during the engagement and
general pillage broke out, many Of the
tribes seeking to carry off as much
booty as possible.
Abd-el-Aziz and his escort ~retreated
IN an orderly manner to Settat, his
army being pursued by the victorious
troops Of Mulai Hafd. Abd.el-Aziz
was accompanied in his flight by the
grand vizier, the minister Of foreign
ahairs, the French military mission
and two British officers. A Tangier
newspaper stated that the British Of
hcers and several French officers are
missing.

Special Commission Returns Docu.
ment Showing Optimistic Outlook
President Declares He Is Much
Pleased by Fruits Of Investigation.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 25.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Monday made public q
report made to him on August 6 by
a special commission consisting of
James Bronson Reynolds, Samuel B.
Donnelly and Henry Beach Needham,
regarding conditions In Panama. The
commission was appointed April Is
last ito Investigate conditions, espe-
cially as regards labor and accom-.
modations, on the Isthmus of Pan
ANA"
That the president is pleased with
the report Is shown in a letter which
he sent to each member of the com.
mission on Friday. He expresses par
ticular pleasure over the fact that the
commission upholds the administration
of Col. George W. Cocktails, chairman
Of the isthmian canal commission,
and the president has had a copy of
the report mailed to Col. Goethals re-
questing that the recommendations
made by the commission be put into
effect Immediately so far as possible.
The president will submit the report
to congress with appropriate recon
mendations.
To a great extent the report is de-
voted to a statistical outline of the
work that has been accomplished and
the work that remains to be done.
President Roosevelt's Letter.
President Roosevelt's letter Of ap-
probation, sent to the commissioners
on August Fl, is as follows:
Gentlemen: l have received your
admirable report upon conditions at
Panama. I am greatly impressed with
1t and shall submit it to congress with
appropriate recommendations as soon
as that body convenes. Meanwhile, 1
shall send your recommendations to
Col. Goethals and ask him to put
them into effect so far as possible, and
where he deems this impossible or i'm
practicable to report the fact to me
with his reasons.
IT am naturally extremely pleased
at the very satisfactory showing that
your report makes of conditions under
Col. Goethals and his associates. I
doubt If there is any piece of work I'm.
dertaken on behalf of the American
people Of recent years of which the
American people have more reason to
be proud than of the work hitherto
done on the Panama canal. The sue
cess has literally been astounding.
Five years ago when we undertook the
task. no sane man would have dared
to hope for the results which have al
ready been achieved. The work itself
has been advanced more expeditions
ly than we had ventured to think and
the rapidity Of the rate Of progress
has steadily increased"

BUY YOUR COAL.
To our Patrons:

10 our Patrons:
Owing to the car shortage,
which is bound to come this fall,
we advise buying the winter sup
ply of coal early. Don't put it
off, as the delay may prove a
hardship on all. We will endea-
yer to keep a good supply of all
kinds of fuel at all times, but ow-
ing to lack of shed room we are
unable to ship in sufficient hard
coal to supply the trade unless
some of our patrons buy early.
Come in and let us figure with
you for your winters supply of
hard coal. We guarantee our
price to be as low as the lowest.
