WAR OVER MOROCCO.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND LIKELY TO BATTLE FOR IT. Muley Husan'i Death May Embroil the Two Nations in Hostilities, with Spain Drawn in—Berlin Silver Conference Made No Definite Recommendations. Warships Are Astir. Serious complications have already arisen between France and England over the death of Muley Hassan. Sultan of Morocco, and the two powers may become Involved in war, with the possibility of Spain being drawn into the quarrel Already France has dispatched warships to Tangier, and England will certainly follow suit, while Spain already has a formidable cruiser there. Then again civil war is very likely to follow in Morocco Jietween the adherents of the rival claimants for the Sultanate, including the two sons of Muley Hassan and a brother of the dead Sultan, which will serve to still further complicate the situation. Four French warships, under Admiral Le Bourgeois, have started for Tangier from Toulon, France. The Ironclads Magenta. Admiral Duperre and Alger, under Admiral Gadaud, have also been ordered to place themselves in readiness to sail for Morocco at the shortest notice. In addition the big Spanish cruiser Conde Venadito has already arrived at Tangier and Is anchored In the harbor. The news of the dispatch of a French fleet to Morocco and of the preparations In France to re-enforce it has caused no little excitement In London and is attracting a great deal of attention throughout England. UNITED STATES MUST ACT.

So Say the Friends of Sliver—Point to the Berlin Conference. The adjournment of the Berlin silver commission without making a detlnlte recommendation has been the subject of more or less comment among Senators and members who take an Interest in the silver question, says a Washington correspondent. In referring to the announcement from Berlin Senator Teller said that ho regretted the fact that no recommendation favorable to silver had been made. “The commission was,” he said, “the outgrowth of discontent among the agrarian classes and was appointed by the government In response to the strong pro-silver sentiment In the agricultural section of Germany. I have never nnderstood that In was expected to do more than collect information in regard to the situation, or If It was the original purpose that the commission should make a recommendation I think that was abandoned some time since. The proceedings of the commission were public, I understand, and of course will be of benefit to the silver cause to the extent that they educate the masses of the German people. Outside of the educating effect of the publication of the proceedings, I don’t think the work of the commission will have any effect unless it be to Increase the conviction, which is already growing in this country, that the United States will have to lake this question in hand and act independently of other nations.” The silver leaders In the House say that the adjournment of the Berlin conference without definite results is another evidence that the United States must execute her own financial policy without waiting for foreign nations Representative Bryan, the lieutenant of Mr. Bland, said: “As long as we wait for Germany and England nothing will be done toward restoring sliver. As soon as we restore silver tolls former place on an equality with gold prosperity will return to our industries. ”

BIG BOOM IM SUGAR. Will Street Broken Neglect AU Other Securities Price* Adtanopd. That Wall street is pleased at th* action of the United States Senate in giving the sugar trust what It wanted In the way of a tariff schedule was manifested Wednesday morning when the New York Stock Exchange opened. There seemingly was not a bear operator in sight: at least, not as far as sugar was concerned. When the gong for trading to begin sounded, the sugar corner was the only one that had any attraction for the brokers. An immense crowd gathered, and no one seemed to care about the price of any other specialty. There was a great deal of excitement, and everybody was clamoring for sugar stock. As soon us the day's business was Inaugurated fully 19,003 shares of sugar was sold in a very few seconds. The orders were executed so rapidly that the brokers had no time to mark down the deals of all the buyers and sellera the stock sold simultaneously ail the way from 107 to 108, against 106% Tuesday night. Then came a flood of offerings which carried the quotation back to 107%, but the pool had placed big buying orders on the recessions and a rise to 108% occurred. The trading in sugar during the first hour was 55,000 shares Bidding for the stock was so spirited that transactions were recorded on margins as wide as 1% per cent, within a few seconds MANY COXEYITES DROWNED.

Dun & Ca’s Weekly Review of Trade says: The outlook for business seems a little better on the whole, though the improvement is not great. Moreover, it is impossible to distinguish between mere replacement of orders canceled for want of fuel os other causes and the new business tor which works are anxiously looking. It it somewhat encouraging that the decrease in pavments through clearing-houses is but 24.3 per cent, for the first week of June, 27.2 at New York, butonly 19.4 elsewhere. The decrease in comparison with 1892 is about 30 per cent. Railroad tonnage Is larger than a year ago In live stock and moderate In cereals, but considerably smaller In coal and iron products and in other manufactured goods west bound. Speculation In products has turned toward higher prices, and wheat has risen 6 cents with an official State report of injury In Kansas, which is hlgl flavored. SHOT DEAD BY A BOY.

MILITIA STOPS RIOTS.

THREATENED TROUBLE AT PANa, ILL., AVERTED BY SOLDIERS. The Presence of Nearly 700 State Troops Awee the Strikers Into Quieter Ways— Golden Jubilee of the Y. M. C. A. Closes In London. Srikers Calming Down. The presence at Pana, IIL, of the First Regiment from Chicago has undoubtedly accomplished good. There has been no attempt on the part of the invading strikers to attack the few men working in the neighboring mines and Sheriff H. W. Johnson is'firmly convinced that the splendid showing of military order and the grim appearance of the rifles, cartridge belts and Gatling gun has had its effect and the gathering mobs of Springfield miners lounging about on Pope's farm and thal vicinity will soon disperse. There are over 687 men in camp. The authorities have abandoned the idea that the invading strikers will attack either Camp Orendorff or the outer lines, says a Pana dispatch. The mobs, however, are growing larger, and a lounger who strolled into the Big Four depot from Pope's farm says the men are determined to c impel any miners who begin work to stop immediately. The ringleaders of the mobs who affect indifference over the wellestablished military post within easy call say they will close the Pana mines if they have to stay six months. That they are largely braggarts was shown by their non-in-terference with a large party of miners who re-enforced the small number at work in the Penwell mine. Col. Hugh E. Rayle, Assistant Adjutant General, made a tour of the mines in the immediate vicinity of the city and reported that seventy men out of a possible eight hundred are at work. A conference of the mine operators held in a hotel near the Illinois Central depot decided that .an attempt should be made to resume operations in all the mines. Slsiriff Johnson thinks that if tho sheriff of Peoria County can quell any uprising in his district with a force of deputies armed by the thirty stands of small arms that General Orendorff sent from Springfield, his men can certainly take care of the mobs in Pana.

STRIKERS SHOT DEAD.

Mob of Coke-Workers at Lemont, Fa«, Fight with Deputies. The bloody and riotous scenes of a few weeks ago are being repeated throughout the coke region, and terror reigns on every hand. A fierce battle occurred Sunday forenoon between deputies and strikers at the Lemont mines of the McClure Coke Company, located three miles north of Uniontown, Pa., in which one man was shot dead and three others fatally injured, two of whom have died since and another will die within the next twen-ty-four hours. All are Slavs and strikers from the Lem< nt plant, where the conflict occurred. The battle was one of the fiercest in the history of the strike, about fifty volleys being fired. Tho stikers had assemb ed, nearly 40U in number, and had in their possession four workmen fr. m tho Valley plant of the H. C. Fricke Coke Company, whom they had captured on Saturday afternoon, and were holding prisoners at the company houses. A posse of deputy sheriffs under Matt Allen attempted to rescue the workmen and were fired on by the strikers, who were well armed with revolvers, clubs, and stones. This precipitated the battle, which lasted fifteen minutes. Volley after volley was fiied at a range of only seventy-five feet, and the shots were fired to kill. The deputies were all armed with Winchesters and revolvers, while the strikers were equipped with nearly fifty revolvers. In addition to those killed and wounded by bullets from the Winchesters the clothe?) of the deputies were shot full of holes and several of them were badly injured with stones and clubs.

COL. RICHARD W. THOMPSON.

Indiana Recently Celebrated His Birthday. The citizens of Terre Haute, Ind., recently celebrated the 85th birthday of one of the most distinguished of their

number, Hon. Richard W. Thompson. Hon. R. W. Thompson has played quite a part in the history of the country and has known all the public mon in the land for years. The only two Pres-, idents he has not seen are Washington and John Adams, but from

Monroe down he has personally known them all. He was a friend of Lafayette and met him many times. Col. Thompson began his political career in 1840, when he was e’ected to Congress. He served that term and' again in 1846, at which time Abraham Lincoln was in that body. Though not opposed to slavery as an insti ution, after Fort Sumter was fired on Col. Thompson devoted all his energies in nutting down disaffection in the South and used his eloquence most successfully to urge Northern men to enlist. He is known as Col. Thompson from having held that rank on the staff of Gov. Noble, of Indiana. When Rutherford B. Hayes became President Col. Thompson was made Secretary of the Navy. He finally resigned that office to accept the Presidency of the American branch of the Panama Canal Company, which ho held for six years. Col. Thompson occupies his time in writing and studying and, though retired from active life, his influence is still strong and is exercised over a wide sphere.

Thw Compromise Schedule la Psaaed by the Senate. The compromise amendments to the sugar schedule were all adopted In the Senate Tuesday and the pivotal schedule on which the fate of the tariff measure depended went through without change. On the vital amendment to place all sugars on the free list the Democratic Hue was drawn, Mr. Hill voting in favor of it and Mr. Irby being paired the same way. But the Republicans were unable to hold their own forces intact, Messrs. Manderson and Perkins voting against the amendment and Mr. Quay being paired against it, while Mr. Sherman, wno was present, did not vote at alt Only one of the Populists, Mr. Peffer, voted for free sugar. Messrs. Kyle and Aljpn in the final issue joined with the majority against it. If all the Republicans, with the three Populists ana the two disaffected Democrats, had joined hands sugar, raw and refined, would have gone on-the free list. On all the other amendmets offered by the Republicans the majority against them ranged from three to ten. A Washington correspondent says that the adoption of the sugar schedule practically insures the passage of the bill at an early date, although it is intimated that the Republicans will make a final stand on this schedule when the bill is reported and considered in the Senate. As adopted, the schedule imposes a duty of 4u per cent, ad valorem on all sugars raw and refined, with a differential of one-eighth of a cent a pound on sugars above 16 Dutch standard and an additional one-tenth of a cent against sugars imported from countries paying an export bounty. Itcontinues the Hawaiian treaty admitting sugars from the Sandwich islands free o; duty, and places a duty of 2 cents a gallon on molasses testing above 40 degrees by the polariscope. The schedule goes into effect Jan. 1, 1895, and the bounty is continued up to that date. CompromHe Amendment Passed. Mr. Jones offered the “compromise” amendment fixing the duty on raw and ro.ined sugar at 40 jer cent, ad valorem, with a differential < f one-eighth of 1 cent on sugars above 16 Dutch standard and an additional one-tenth on sugars imported from countries giving an expert bounty, continuing the Hawaiian treaty in force and imposing a duty of 2 cents a gallon on molasses. It was carried. 35—27. The vote in detail was as follows:

SUGAR TRUST WINS.

MOVING ON BULL HILL.

Armed Deputies Advance on the Cripple Creek Strikers. Every hour adds to the gravity of the situation at Cripple Creek, and, a dispatch ea >s, a terrible conflict is impending. Under Sheriff Mullins and County Commissioner Boynton are in charge of the army of 1,20 j deputies camped within sight of Bull Hill. Mullins declares it is their intention to storm Bull Hill regardless of consequences. Comjnisioner Boynton is even moi e emphatic. He-declares that Gov. Waite 'nor Aliy other man had no right to arbitrate out of the law. There were men on Bull Hill guilty of grave crimes for whose arrest they had warrants. These men would be arrested at all hazards. He allowed that in doing this many lives would be placed in jeopardy. Nevertheless, the county had gone to great expense in massing a great force to vindicate the law’, and this is not the time for hesitation. This declaration is called out by the fact that Governor Waite has instructed General Brooks to use the troops to prevent wholesale arrests of strikers. He says that Sheriff Bowers may pass through the lines to serve papers, but can not take a posse with him. The situation is extremely critical. Brisk Skirmish at Shelburn. A special from Shelburn, Ind., says: "About 1 o clock this morning several drunken me i approached the picket line around Iho ninety militiamen stationed at Farmersburg and taunted the guards. One man attempted to pass through the line ard was brought to a halt. The intruder hurled a brick at the guard and the latter opened fire. This was the signal for a general fusillade of stones and firing by the guards. Forty or fifty shots were fired in a nick succession.

TO END THE STRIKE.

OPERATORS AND MINERS COME TO TERMS. Columbus Con f ere nee Productive of a Satisfactory Settlement Miners Get Increased Wages—New Scale to Continue in Operation Until May, 1895. Settlement la Final. The miners and operators' conference at Columbus, Ohio, has resulted in a compromise agreement, and the end of the great coal strike is near. Under the agreement work will be resumed within a week, the miners desiring to have the remainder of the week to submit the agreement to the various districts. 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 had placed an agreement in jeopardy, but each would try to effect an agreement if possible. Before going into executive session as a joint committee the miners held a private confeience 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 scale of 69 cents for Pennsylvania and 60 cents for Ohio, other territory in a fair proportion, the price to hold good until Sept. 1, when the rate is to be increased to 79 cents in Western Pennsylvania and in other districts in proportion. The proposition was made to President Mcßride, and several of the operators said they would agree to CoL Rends plan. About 5:30 in the evening the scale committee announced that an agreement had been reached and was being drawn up. The compromise was on a basis of 60 cents for Ohio and 69 cents for Western Pennsylvania. At a joint conference the agreement was ratified. A. A. Adams, President of the Ohio miners, who was a member of the scale committee, refused to sign the agreement. The settlement, however, is final. The scale agreed upon is as follows: Pittsburg, thin vein, 69 cents: thick vein, 56 cents. Hocking Valley, 60 cents. Indiana bituminous, 60 cents; Indiana block, 70 cents. Streator, HL, 624 cents for summer and 70 cents for winter. Bloomington. HL. 774 cents for summer and 85 cents for winter. La Salle and Spring Valley, HL, 724 cents for summer and 80 cents for winter. Other sections in Northern Illinois fields at prices relative to the above. Coal in Pittsburg district, going east to tide water, shall pay the same mining prices as that paid by the Pennsylvania Gas and Westmoreland Coal companies, The scale of prices will continue until May 1, 1895, provided the above-named scale of prices for the Pittsburg district shall be generally recognized and observed. The operators and miners shall co-operate in their efforts to secure an ob ervanceof said price, and if during the period covered by the agreement recognition of the ’ price herein named cannot be secured either party to this agreement may call a meeting of the loint board of arbitration and determine whether the agreement has been sufficiently complied with to warrant its continuance. While it has been announced that the agreement reached by the operators and miners in their joint conference is final, its effect upon the miners rema ns to be seen. The operators are confident that the agreement will bring about a speedy settlement of the strike. E. T. Bent of La Salle, 111., was of the opinion that the settlement in Northern Illinois would influence the southern part of that State to come into line.

Test of a Weak Stomach.

The Zoothermic Institute in Rome is a “cure” place where people go to drink fresh blood for the cure of gout, rheumatism, and the great prostration and anaemia caused by the malarial fevers of the Tontine marshes. The blood to be imbibed is first rapidly freed from fibrin by a careful aseptic method, the animals from which it is derived having previously undergone inspection by a veterinary surgeon. Some patients bathe either a part or the whole of the body in the warm blood, and, the Italian doctors think, with great benefit.
