.MACVEACH'S ACTION j..
COMES AS SURPRISE
Calls a Halt on M|nt|ng Of
New Lincoln Pennies. : :

Washington, Aug. 8.-Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh announces
that he has decided to have the mint
ing of the new Lincoln pennies
stopped for the present and that new
dies will be prepared as soon as pos
sible, eliminating the initials of the
designer, which now appear so prom
inently, and substituting the single
initial B" in an obscure part of the
design. The secretary said that none
Of the pennies issued so far would be
called in, but that the minting would
be stopped because a sufficient supply
was on hand. The initials w. D. b..
are those of the designer, v. D. Bren-
ner of New York. The single initial,
In an inconspicuous place, will be
left in the new dies as recognition of
Mr.. Brenner's work.
This decision as to changing the
dies created much surprise, as it had
been announced at the treasury de-
partment that the new coins would be
continued in circulation for the pres
ent, at least, and that the use of the
initials on them was merely in line
with custom that had prevailed for
years. The prominent position given
the initials, however, awakened wide
spread criticism and Secretary Mac
Veagh's action followed further con-
sideration of the matter.

On Being Reinforced They Compel the
Moors to Retire.
Melilla, Morocco, Aug. 6.-The
Moors who attacked a Spanish com
missary convoy obliged the Spaniards
to retire until the arrival of reinforce

and drove the enemy back.
Alhucemas, Morocco, Aug. 6.-The
Riffs are preaching holy war against
Spain. A picturesque feature Of their
arguments is revival of the old
legend according to which the Riff
Arabs, who are descendants of the
Moors driven out of Spain by Isabella
and Ferdinand, are destined to clear
the Spaniards out of Africa, cross into
Spain and reconquer the country over
which Boabdil, the last king of Gre
NADIA, ruled. Every Riff family Is be-
ing visited by the priests and told that
the time for the fulfllment of this
legend is now at hand and urged to
enter the war to regain the Alhambra.

STRIKE CAUSES
FOOD SHORTAGE
First Result Of Labor Con-
fict in Sweden.
PRICES ADVANCE RAPIDLY

Figures Already ProhIbitive Except
for Persons Of Ample Means-Thou-
sands Of Strikers Go into Camp and
Are Living Practically on Fish.
Estimated That Three Hundred
Thousand Men Are Now Idle.
Stockholm, Aug. 6.-Stockholm is
suffering seriously from shortage of
food, which, so far, is the most nota-
Bile result of the labor conflict that
reached it's acute stages the BEGINNING
of this week. The stock of bread al
ready is almost exhausted and meat
is scarce and expensive. The restau-
rants have raised their prices and the
figures are prohibitive except for per-
sons possessed of ample means. The
strikers themselves are living prac-
tically on fish. Thousands of them
are camping out, some in tents but
many without shelter, on the shores
OF Lake Malar and the islands of the
archipelago, where they spend their
time In angling. The authorities have
taken charge of the milk supply of the
city and soldiers are distributing milk
In limited quantities and supervising
the sale from milk cars at the railroad
stations. The deliveries of ice have
ceased. This Is, especially trying, as
the weather is unusually hot.
At Gothenhurg work at all the
slaughter houses has come to an end
and the general strike committee has
called upon the railroad men and the
printers to join the movement.
Three Hundred Thousand Out.
The ranks of the strikers are being
augmented hour by hour and, accord
ing to the leaders of the movement,
their total now reaches 100000, about
one-twentieth of the population of the
country.
Paupers from the state poorhouses
have been enlisted to replace the strik-
ing grave diggers and undertakers and
instead of hearses stretchers are be-
ing used to carry corpses through the
streets to the cemeteries. The fu-
nerals proceed. under military escort
The employees Of the gas works and
the electric light plants have gone out
on strike and as a result military
guards have been placed over the
establishments.
The authorities contend that this
protection is necessary and assert
that they have frustrated an attempt
to blow up the gas works with dyna-
mite. A gunboat has been stationed
opposite the gas works and no boats
are allowed to pass between 1t and the
shore.

was to have been sentenced yesterday
to life imprisonment, in accordance
with the jury's finding, but his attor-
ney, Joseph Patton, secured, two
weeks continuance in order to present
affidavits in support of motion for q
new trial. Patton informed Judge
Dunno he had secured new evidence
tending to prove that Thomas Young
did not do the shooting. He, said that
since the verdict was rendered a man
named Wells and another man had vol
unfairly come forward and offered to
so testify
Timothy crowley, who defended
Young in the first trial, which resulted
in a disagreement, addressed Judge
Dunno in support of Patton's applica-
ton IF ever there was a miscarriage
of Justice it was in the second trial of

sorry, went over two weeks to be set
