PKACK IN PANA.

SlMtiNoriELD, 111., June 12.—Tho governor on Monday ubout 4 o'clock issued an order withdrawing the First regiment from Pana. This aotion was taken on recommendation of the sheriff, who, with Hugh Baylo, assistant adjutant general, had consulted both with the strikers and the local miners and concluded there was no danger. The adjutant general has shipped fifty rifles to Peoria on requisition of tho sheriff.

Gov. Altgeld has Issued general order No. 0, which somewhat modifies general order No. 7, which has caused considerable criticism. The new order reads 'It Is not the business of soldlors to not as custodians or guards o( private property. The law authorizes them simply to assist the olvll authorities In preserving tho peace, quolllng riots and executing the law. Whonever troops have been or may hereafter he ordered out and an own«r of the property feelfi It necessary to have It guarded, he must do so ftt his own expense. and In such case troops should be stationed near enough to promptly quell any disturbance if one should ooour

Gov.

Matthews has ordered that four of the twelve companies of militia stationed in Sullivan county be sent home. The remaining companies will be kept in the field for several days, although the citizens of Sullivan county have assured the governor that they will see to It that no more lawless acts are committed. Already the sending of militia into the mining distriot has cost the state about 820,000. There Is no fund available for the payment of tho expenses and it is expeoted that some of the politicians will endeavor to prevent the next legislature from making an appropriatian to pay the bills.

More Threats Marie.

SPRING VALLEY, 111., June 12.—The miners of this district are out of patience with tho Rewanee minors and aro massing in the streets, preparing to march to that place.

Committees were sent to Oglesby, La Salle, Peru, Seatonvllle, Ladd and Laceyville to get the men to join, lly this afternoon at least 4,000 men will move from this city. The men are infuriated over the action of the Kewanee miners. They say they are in better condition to suspend work than the Spring Valley miners, for they have worked night and day since the suspension with the exception of a week. The men are eager for the march. It is a 40-milo stretch, and they will take the shortest route across the country. There is some talk of seizing a train. It is rumored that the sheriff of Henry oounty is at Kewanee with '250 armed deputies in anticipation of the inarch of the miners. Not only is Kewanee to be brought out, but Oalva also will be inarched upon.

l'oN riAC, 111., June 1'2.—Rumors have been rife for several days that a number of strikers from neighboring towns were about to come here for the purpose of compelling the miners in the coal shaft here to 6top work. Sheriff Coe has received 200 stands of arms from Springfield. Monday it was reported that a large body of strikers was moving from Streator and Tolucca toward Pontlac. The sheriff at once swore in 200 speolal deputies and armed them.

ceased to handle West Virginia coal over a week ago. On Sunday, however, five oarloads of coal were forwarded from the Massillon yards to Norwalk forth© use of thelooomotives, and this led to the destruction of the bridge. Tho road is blocked and cannot bo opened for hours. Another small bridge was destroyed during the morning on the Cleveland, Canton & Southern railroad, just north of Navarre. Six hundred Massillon miners mot at Millport Sunday night, and resolved to ask the railway operatives to refuse to handle the West Virginia coal.

Four Captives Rescued.

U.MONTOWN, Pa., June 12.—The four American workmen who were taken prisoners by a mob of foreigners at New Haven Saturday were overtaken at Fairchance at noon by the deputies aud rescued. The deputies met with no opposition, owing to their number. The men were brought here during the afternoon and returned to their houses at Leisenring No. '2. When found they were chalk-marked from head to foot and were worn and haggard. They were taken away from Lemont Sunday while the trouble was in progress and marched to Cool Spring, where they were turned over to the strikers from the Stewart iron works and there kept and paraded until the leaders learned that the officers had located them. Then they were taken to the southern end and handed over from one crowd to another until landed in the strikers' camp at Kyle. The kidnaping is denounced by all as the most atrocious and fiendish act in the history of the movement, and the fact that the prisoners were Americans is turning publio sentiment more strongly against the perpetrators. The depu ties are now collecting all the evidence available in the case and many arrests will be made as soon as the}' can be identified.

In China Disease Is Carrying Off Veopla by Tens of Thousands. SHANGHAI, June 12.—No brief com munications on the subject can convey an adequate idea of the character and extent of the visitation which is rav aging Canton, Paklios and Hongkong. Tho disease has long been raging in the two first-named places, and it has carried off tens of thousands of victims in the last few weeks. It reached Hongkong last week. The plague, which is described by medical men assimilarin appearance and symptoms to "the great plague of London, which devasted that city In 1605, was noted first in Canton toward the end of April. The disease is accompanied by terrific fever, the temperature going at a bound up to 105 and 106 degrees. Up to" May 8 at least 60,000 people have died in Canton. All the immense business of the city was at a standstill, and the inhabitants who could do so were flying to the country. The plague reached Hongkong about May 8, and already forty deaths a day are recorded.

DKATH OF UULKY UAFIFIAX. LONDON, June 12. A prominent banker of this city has received a dispatch from Tangier, saying that the belief prevails that the late sultan of Morocco has been foully murdered.

Symptoms of Poisoning.

TANOIKK, June 12.—It is now known that Sultan Muley Hassan died suddenly June 7 at Tadla, between Morocco and Casa Blanoa, Advices regarding the death of the sultan say that he suffered from fever for four days previous to his death aud that he died while giving orders. Some time before his death the sultan began vomiting and continued to suffer in this manner until he expired. It is added that symptoms of his case point to poisoning.

Abdul Azlr Declared Sultan. Abdul Aziz has been acknowledged as sultan and is collecting forces at Rabat to go to Fez. Little or no opposition to his accession to the throne is expected there. The city is perfectly quiet. Every one is preparing for a great religious festival Thursday. Europeans continue to enjoy absolute security to life and property.

Will Be Thoroughly Sifted. LONDOX, June 12.—It is thought here that the French, Spanish and English governments will sift thoroughly the circumstances of the death of Muley Hassan, and if the suspicion of murder is confirmed there may be a forcible joint intervention on the subjeetof the succession.

The impression prevails in Tangier, where the representatives of the foreign governments are in consultation, that the murder was instigated by the entourage of the sultan's son, Mulat Abdul Aziz. Thus far no disturbances have been announced.

International i^onipllratlons l.tkely. It is not unlikely that international complications will ensue before the succession is settled. After Turkey, Morocco is the greatest prize in the world. It is larger than Spain or France or the whole German empire. In the time of the Ciesars it was the granary of Rome, and it retains its fertility to this day. The country is equally rich in minerals. It is worth fighting for. The recent Riffian war pointed this out clearly, and it has been an open secret in English diplomatic circles that atter Muley Hassan would come a "deluge."

Should there be combined action between England, Spain and Franee to drive out the Moor the result would be a holy war. The Moor would not surrender at the first summons. His ory would be taken up along the whole coast of northern Africa, and tlie greatest of all tragedies, a war of races and religions, would assuredly follow. On the other hand, the jealousies of Christian powers have kept one sultan on the throne of Turkey and they may keep another on the throne of Morocco.

Crcat ICxeltemcnt In Madrid. AHHIII, June 12.—The news of the death of the sultan of Morocco caused a great sensation on the bourse and in political circles in this city. The cruiser Condo Venado has been ordered to proceed to Tangier. The transport Legazpi has been dispatched from Mazagan to Tangier to take on board the first Installment of tli« war indemnity paid by Morocco to Spain on account of the Mellila affair. The outlook in Africa is regarded as gloomy, and reinforcements of troops have been ordered to Melilla and other Spanish settlements in Morocco.

The Dead Sultan.

[Sultan Muley Hassan was horn In 1831 and was the eldest son of Sldl-Muley-Mohammod of tho tribe of Tafllalet. He succeeded his father to the throne at the latter's death. September 17, IB73. Tho crown was formerly hereditary In the male line, descending on tho demise of the sovereign to the surviving oldest member of the reigning family. Muloy Hassan did away with this custom. The threo brothers of his father were secretly removed by the orders of the late sultan, so tfrat there might be no effort on their part to lay claim to the crown. He was an abJolute despot, being unrestricted as to his authority by either religious or civil lawB. He hud no cabinet nor regular ministers to advise him In the management of his affairs. His reign was a stormy one, scarcely a year passing that he was not called upon to put down an uprising of some rebellious tribe In the mountainous regions between Mequinez and Rabat. In IB84 ho caused the massacro of a whole tribe of Angara Kabllas. Muley Hassan established trade relattons with Spain. Franco. Germany and England. His army numbered 8&.000 men. the disciplined part of which Is officered by Frenchmen. It was his custom to reside alternately at Fez and Moroooo. usually living a year at each place. He paid frequent visits to Tangier and Mequinez, however.]

Miners and Operators at Columbus, O., Fix a Soale.

A COMPROMISE IS AGREED UPON.

The Men Are to Receive an Increase la Wages, and Work Is to He Kesumed on Monday—The Plan Meets with Opposition.

Wll.L IT KNI THE 8TKIKE? CoLUMnus, O., Juno 12.—At 5:30 o'clock Monday evening the scale committee of the miners and operators, whloh has been deliberating for two full days on a scale of prices, reached an agreement. The compromise was upon a basis of 60 cents for Ohio and 08 cents for western Pennsylvania. The agreement is not to take effect until next Monday, the miners stating that they would have to have some time in which to preuare their constituents for the acceptance of the compromise.

The Proceedings.

ABSOU/TEUr PURE

The joint committee on scale, composed of operators and miners, went into executive session at 9 o'clock in the morning. Each side expressed a feeling that circumstances elsewhere had placed an agreement here in Jeopardy, but each would try to effeot an agreement if possible. Before going into executive session as a joint committee the miners held a private conference of about an hour's duration. Some of the operators had said that they preferred to deal with organized rather than unorganized labor, as more uniform results can be secured. A failure to agree meant, in their opinion, a resumption of the. strike at some time in the near future.

Col. W. P. Rend, who was anxious to effect a settlement, submitted a proposition on his own account to agree to a soale of 69 cents for Pennsylvania and 60 cents for Ohio, other territory in a fair proportion, the price to hold good u»til September 1, when the rate Is to be Increased to 79 cents in western Pennsylvania and in other districts in proportlofE" The proposition was made to President McBride, and several of the operators said they would agree to Col. Rend's plan.

Opposed to the Compromise. At 2 o'clock the miners held another conference. President Cairns, of the Pittsburgh district, who is a member of the joint scale committee, called his executive board, consisting of Secreta ry William Warner, J. L. Larkln, William Dodds and John Callahan, to this city to consult with the miners' committee with reference to a settlement. The committee was unanimously opposed to any compromise measure. One of the members went so fur as to say that his people had told him not to return home If the committee agreed to accept anything less than 79 cents for that distriot. Mr. W. H. Crawford, of the Ohio executive board, was also In the city and took the same stand aB the Pittsburgh people. Dr. Hoy, representing tho AVellston miners of Ohio, stated that the miners of Jackson and Hocking counties were opposed to accepting any price less than 70 cents in this state.

The Agreement.

About 6:30 p. m. the scale committee announced that an agreement had been reached and was being drawn up. The compromise was on a basis of 6C cents for Ohio and 69 cents for western Pennsylvania. The agreement is not to take effect until next Monday, June IB, the minors desiring to have a week to submit the matter to the various districts, as much opposition to the compromise is expected, and the miners will have to be prepared to aocept it.

Katifled.

At a joint conference at night the agreement was ratified. A. A. Adams, president of the Ohio miners, who was a member of the soale committee, refused to sign the agreement. The settlement. however, is final. The scale agreed upon Is as follows: "Pittsburgh, thin vein, W cents thick vein &6 cents. "Hocking Valley. 00 cents. "Indiana bituminous 60cents: Indiana block 70 cents. "Streator. 111.. cents for summer and 7( for winter. "Bloomlngton, 111.. T74 cents for sumrnei and 85 for winter. "La Salle and Spring Valley, I1L, ISkf centi for summer and 80 cents for winter. "Othor sections in northern Illinois fields at prloes relative to the above. Coal In Pittsburgh district going east to the tlde-vatei shall pay the same mining price as that paid by the Pennsylvania Gas and Westmoreland Coal companies. The scale of prices Will b« In effect and bind both parties thereto, beglunlng June 18, 1804, and oontinue until Mas 1, 1895 provided that the above-namei scale of prices for the Pittsburgh district! shall bo generally recognized and observed The operators and minors shall cooporate it their oflorts to secure an observance of sak price, and if daring tho period covered by th iigreement recognition of the prloe her el named cannot be secured, either party to thlf agreement muy call a meeting of the Joint board of arbitration and determine whether th« ugreemcnt has been satisfactorily enough complied with to warrant Its continuance.

May Settle the Strike.

While it has been announced thai the agreement is final, its effect upon the miners remains to be Been. The fact that fully a week will intervene before the agreement takes effect leads to the belief that the determination of the miners to accept no compromise can be changed. A majority of the operators left for their homei immediately after the adjournment oi. th« conference. and thos*

who could be seen were confident that an agreement would hri ny about a speedy settlement nf the strike. Robert Bailey, of Pittsburgh.'said it was doubtful how the fiftvthree bolting operators in his district would take the agreement, but lie way inclined to the belief that a majuriU of them would full into liu.- T. Bent, of La Salle, 111., was of the opinion that the settlement, in northern Illinois would influence the southern part of the state to come into line.

Indiana Miners Oppose a Compromise. TKIIRK IIAITK, Ind., June 12.—The Indiana miners are opposed to any' compromise agreement at Columbus, and since Saturday hav« been sending word to fhelr official representativenot to agree to anything less than the 70-oent rate of last year. They are persistent In their position and threaten vengeance on the officials if their wishes are not regarded. They say that they could hardly make a living at 70 cents and will not try to do so at 60 cents.

The Trendergast Case

Still Further

Complleiit.Ml.

CHICAGO, June 12.—The Preinlergast case has reached ail extraordinary.: stage. BJt a series of unprecedented judicial proceedings it has becoma involved in a confusion from which lawyers say it will be difficult to extricate it. Some attorneys go so far as to question whether the assassin, if the technicalities of tho law are regarded, is not forever free from the death sentence passed on him. even though his trial for insanity never takes place. This trial, which was set for Monday, was placed on no calendar. Neither Judge Chetlain nor any other judge called it, and when counsel moved before Judge Payne for another continuance he either overruled the motion or refused to entertain it. Tho question now is: Is the case discontinued? The state's attorney, however, says there is nothing in this view of the case, and that Monday's proceedings, or lack of proceedings, cut no figure.
