COAL PRICES FALLING
Dealers Decide to Reduce Quota
tions by Ten Shillings.
- Cable 10 The Irlbune. ]

London, April ]" Coal merchants in
London are hopeful that the big drop of
10 shillings a ton in prices decided upon
yesterday will result in a great Inflow Of
orders. They have taken this bold course
in the belief that it will at once attract
custom. with Goa, at record prices the
retail business has been virtually at 4
standstill for weeks. IT was agreed that
the dropping of prices by degrees would
result in the public adopting waiting
attitude, holding out longer for conces-
sions. and this big drop was accompa- =
MED by a plain intmation that 1t was
the only one that might be expected for
some time.
The stock Exchange has profted
rather than lost by the coal strike. The
Ia Dor unrest had left the market inert
for railway stocks and solid enterprises
generally, but the money saving and
money making classes were reluctant to
leave all their capital at the bankers
and invested their surplus funds in more
speculative concerns. This Is a further
Illustration Of the fact that London, OF
all parts of the United Kingdom, has
been the least affected by the recent In
dustrial upheaval

FRAMC0-SPANISH TENSION
Rupture of Negotiations Con.
corning Morocco Probable.


Paris, April 13.-The Franco Spanish
negotiations concerning Morocco remain
at complete deadlock. France, by
abandoning her claims TO Cape d'EaU, to
the left bank Of the Louggos and to the
belt OF territory north of Taxa. has
reached the extreme limits of conciia-
ton and will not for a moment listen to
the slightest modification in her de-
mands for the valley OF the Guerra and
the lfni region. which the Poincare Cab
met deems OF vital interest for the Sc
curity of the French protectorate and
for the prestige of Morocco's suzerain.
A rupture Of negotiations is, according
to the highest source of information,
certain unless Spain consents to yield
on these two points. II Spain proves
obdurate the French government will not
hesitate TO break off negotiations and
push on the military and civil organiza-
ton and administration of the French
protectorate without further regard to or
consultation with Spain.

GRAND GUIGNOL THRILLER
A Regiment Inoculated with
Rabies Plot of One Drama.
Paris, March Is.


The Theatre du Grand Guignol has re-
newed its programme with six short plays
which impart alternate doses OF terror and
OF laughter. The great success OF the even
ing was the drama in two acts entitled
lie Beau Regiment" by NJ. Robert
Franchevile.
We are In Prussia The beautiful regi-
ment" is the 30th Uhlans, in garrison near
Poland A young Uhlan, Miloch Petrowich,
has been maltreated by the older soldiers,
who have a grudge against him because
he is Polish anarchist. Miloch is brought
to the hospital for treatment Before his
bruises have been cured. he is sent back
to duty. He is again brought to the hos
pital bleeding with fresh wounds.
Buled and kicked about like a dog
Miloch Petrowich seeks for revenge. While
in the hospital he learns that the regi-
mental surgeon and his assistants are max
ing some wonderful experiments in bac-
teriology, and that tubes of the virus Of
rabies have been received from the Pasteur
Institute for the surgeons Investigations
OF hydrophobia.
F. Meanwhile an epidemic OF smallpox has
broken out in the garrison town, and the
colonel has ordered the whole regiment 10
be inoculated. The young Polish anarchist
succeeds In substituting the tubes of rabies
for those to be used for vaccination against
smallpox. The wholesale incubation is
performed. In due course the terrific mall
ady makes it's appearance.
We are in the hospital A soldier suffer

examination by a board OF surgeons. The

symptoms become more acute. bowl of
water is placed near his lips. The man
goes into paroxysms, and hydrophobia in
its most frightful phase is presented. Soon
afterward the whole regiment goes mad
with hydrophoba. a panic ensues in the
town.
The gates of the barracks are closed.
Tho medical board decides that the only
course is TO exterminate the whole regi-
ment This is approved by the Minister of
War The barracks resound with yells and
frantic howls OF the fifteen hundred sold
iers composing the beautiful regiment"
Battalions of infantry arrive, and are
placed on the tops of the barrack walls,
and on the roofs, rifles in hand, ready to
begin the slaughter.
Miloch Petrowlch, who tried to desert
has been arrested. He confesses that he
substituted the tubes. Miloch is placed be-
tween two mattresses and smothered to
death as If he We're a victim OF rabies. The
colonel OF the Uhlan regiment asks as a
favor that he may give the order for the
infantry to open fire. This is granted. The
colonel so places himself that at the word
of command he is himself killed by dis
charge of fifty rifles. The firing continues
until the whole regiment is exterminated.
This terrific drama is presented in the
most realistic manner. 1t is superbly acted.
The grewsome details are heartrending.

FRENCH AVIATOR KILLED
Frost Obscures Glasses of Lieut.
Boncour While Landing.

Paris. April 13.-Lieutenant NJ. II. A.
Boncour, OF the 9th Infantry Regiment,
was killed this morning in an aeroplane
accident He was making a fight in the
vicinity Of Barbecue. in the Department
OF the Meuse about l25 miles to the east
Of Paris.
An examination Of the body showed that
Lieutenant Boncour's eyeglasses were COW
cred with frost. and II is supposed that this
prevented him. while attempting landing.
from seeing that he was flying directly into
a thick forest until too late. In trying TO
avoid dashing into the trees he probably
made a sudden turning movement. which
caused the aeroplane to turn over. The
motor was not responsible for the accident
The death OF Lieutenant Boncour consti-
tutes the twenty-seventh aviation fatality
since January / last and the 12sth since the
death Of Lieutenant Selfridge, in 1905. The
last previous victim was Calbraith p. Rod
gers, who was killed on April at Long

London. April 13.-The report of the
Royal Commission on Divorce, which is
expected 20 be issued shortly. will, 1t is
understood. contain but few recommend
atoms for material changes in the Brit
ish divorce law. \ high authority, who

some interesting statistics with regard
to the matrimonial affairs Of various
classes, including the aristocratic and
the artistic as well as military men.
The commission emphasizes the part
played by environment rather than by
abnormalities of temperament and rec
ommends that facilities be instituted for
cheap divorce for the working classes,
while at the same time guarding against
the danger Of abuse.
