Morgan was not the only banker who gladdened the hearts of hU employes on New Year's. The house of Drexel & Co.. Philadelphia, did as well as the New York financier. A year ago every man in the employ of the Drexels received at the end of the twelvemonth a present equal to a full year's salary. This year. It is paid, the munificence on the part of the banking hou?e was duplicated, and the faithful' services were again rewarded. All efforts to obaln from members of the firm any information on the subject were modestly waved aside on the ground that the matter wa3 one of delicacy that the house did not care to consult.

Jan. 1 President Baer. of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company, to-day issued the following eüUement: "By virtue of the authority conferred upon me by the board of directors, I hereby declare that the pension erstem of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company heretofore approved by the board, becomes operative on the first day of January, 1D03." Tensions are divided Into three classes. The first includes those who have attained the age of seventy years. They are to be retired it they have been continually In the sen ice for the period of thirty years; necond, all employes sixty-five to slxtyrdne years of age who have been continuously thirty or more years in the serviceand who have become incapacitated way be retired and pensioned, and, third, any faithful employe of the company, Irrespective of his age or length of service, who shall have received injuries in the performance of his duty which totally incapacitates him for his regular or other vocation, or who shall through sickness become so Incapacitated, shall be awarded euch a sum or a pension for such a length of time as the president shall determine. . The monthly allowance shall be upon the following basis: For each year of service 1 per cent, of the average monthly pay for ten years next preceding retirement, provided, however, that the annual disbursement, including the pensions paid to employes of the associated companies, shall not exceed J73.0O). Should the aggregate pension allowance exceed this amount, in the absence of action by the board of directors Increasing the yearly amount usable for pensions, a new rate shall be established froportionatcly reducing all allowances, n computing service time shall be reckoned from the date since which the person has been continuously in the service to the date when retired.

The retirement of employes is to become effective on the first of each month and pension allowances are to bo paid monthly. No person shall be taken into the service of the company who is over thlrty-flvo years old, except in certain contingencies with the approval of the board of directors.

MOROCCO'S FJlETEXDEIl IS FIGHTING FOIl 1II3ISEL.F. NOT Sayn He Desire to Enthrone the Present Saltan's II rot her Reports of Situation Conflicting. LONDON, Jan. 3. Cabling from Tangier the correspondent of the Times says that private letters received there are conflicting, some saying the Sultan's brother Mulal Mohammed has arrived at Fez, and others that he died at Mequinez. The only certain news, the correspondent continues, is that the Jews have been confined In a separate quarter of Fez on account of the fanaticism of the natives.-. In a dispatch from Gibraltar the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that the brother of the Sultan of Morocco, Mulal Mohammed, in command of the royal army, left Fez Dec. 27 to attack the rebels. TANGIER, Morocco, Jan. 2. Advices from Fez, under yesterday's date, have been received here. Guns were then being mounted on the walls for the defense of the city, but the rebels remained inactive. They have not sufficient supplies for expeditions. The city of Fez continued quiet, but the dearness of food was causing discontent. If the situation becomes more grave the Sultan will abandon the capital, retire to Rabat and summon the border tribes to a holy war. The Sultan will then proclaim himself shereef and defender of Islam, renounce all European leanings, and then, at the head of new forces, attempt to retake Fez. The pretender has Issued a proclamation, announcing that he Is not righting for the throne for himself, but for the Sultan's brother, Mulal Mohammed, surnamed the One-Eyed." The report is confirmed that the Sultan has ordered his brother's release and the honors of his rank be paid to him. The government, at a recent conference with the Kabyle chiefs, pointed out to them that they are responsible for the safety of the roads running through their territory. PARIS, Jan. 2. Telegrams received here from Oran, Algeria, announce that detachments of zouaves (French troops) havo been ordered to the Moorish frontier. MRS. TINGLEY TESTIFIES. Denies All the Charges Slade Against Her Point Lonia Place. SAN DIEGO; Cal., Jan. 2. Miss Irene Wilds, of Hannibal, Mo., was recalled to the stand when the Tinglcy-Times libel suit -was resumed to-day. She was not permitted to tell on direct examination anything concerning the illness of her sister at Point Loma. The deposition of Edward W. Parker, of Little Rock, Ark., was offered by the defendant. Deponent related that he had known Mrs. Tingley and that he had gone to Newburyport, Mass., recently and made inquiries of about twenty persons as to her career. Here the plaintiff objected to the entire remaining portions of the deposition. Sustaining the plaintiff, the court excluded the direct examination of Parker. Mrs. Tingley was placed upon the witness stand In rebuttal of the testimony of tho defendant. All of the principal charges made against her as the head of the Point Loma institution were read to her. She denied them all. She said with much emphasis that she had not withheld food from children, as was re.lated in the deposition of Dr. Anderson, of San Francisco. She denied that she had said that life upon Point Loma would evolve a state which would make the marriage relation unnecessary. An incident ofthe day was the refusal of the trial Judge to permit the Jury to go to Point Loma to view the institution, although it was strongly urged by Mrs. Tingley's counsel. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. William Jennings Bryan left Mexico City yesterday morning for the United States. Edgar, F. Smith, professor of chemistry and -vice provost of the University of Pennsylvania, has been unanimously elected president of the American Philosophical Society.

W. 8. Hopewell, chairman of the territorial central committee of the Democratic party In New Mexico, yesterday announced himself in favor of admitting Arizona and New Mexico as one State with three representatives in Congress, the capital to be fixed for ten years at Santa Fe. Mrs. Leila Mansion and George Wilson, who have been held In Brooklyn, Conn., Jail for some time on account of a suspicion that th?y were connected with the death of Wilson's mother by poisoning, were given a preliminary hearing at Warrenville yesterday and remanded to Jail without bonds for trial before the Superior Court next March on the charge of murder. The . Iowa State Teachers' Association adopted resolutions Including a declaration "that greater attention should be paid to moral training," and that, to this end, there should be familiarity with the Bible so that "this great book may ever be tho teachers aid and unrivaled agency In the development of good citizenship, as well as In the development of a pure literary style."

The agreement among trunk lines whereby passes weie not to be exchanged during 1903 has been broken, and there is accordingly rejoicing in Western territory. Erie passes good over the entire system during 1903 have been distributed among offlclals of the Western lines. Unlike the annuals of former years, the Erie passes are not issued on account of the various lines, but are marked "complimentary." Application was not made by any of the Western officials for passes on any of the trunk lines, for official notice was given them atur tho meatlnj of Dec.

13 that the agreement of 1902 which prohibited 'exchange of passes had been renewed for 1503.

WITHDRAWALS OF TEA. Larsre Quantities Taken from Bonded "Warehouse Yesterday. NEW YORK, Jan. 2. The Journal of Commerce to-morrow will say: "For months past enormous quantities of tea have been accumulating In bonded warehouses, being held until Jan. 1, when the repeal of the war tax of 10 cents a pound took effect. Yesterday (Friday) was the first business day after the tax came off. and it was an eventful day. since it marked the beginning of the withdrawals of these teas. Stocks In the hands of wholesalers and dealers all over the country have become greatly depleted. Probably never in the history of the trade have the stocks of tea run so low. Some Idea of the amount of teas that will be sent out all over the country may be had from the fact that on Nov. 21, according to tho official returns, there were 43.951,166 pounds of tea remaining In bonded warehouses at the port of New York. This amount probably was increased during the month of December." AN AWFUL POSSIBILITY KENTUCKY "KUXXELS" MAY BE . FORCED TO DRINK WATER. Supply of Whisky Ia Alarmingly Short and What Remains May Be "Cornered LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 2. The CourierJournal to-morrow will say: "Only 4,000,000 gallons of the whisky made In 1S96, 1S96 and 1897 remain in bond, and the whisky dealers are alarmed. About 7,000,000 gallons of six, seven and eight-year-old whisky Is used annually, and the dealers ray there will not be a gallon in bond by July 1. Heretofore there has always been much more than was consumed, and a famine Is a problem that was never before considered. The leading dealers claim the condition may result in the whisky made in 1S95, 1896 and 1897 being cornered and the prices doubled. In this event the blenders, who use most of the six, seven and eight-year-old whisky, will be compelled to use goods made later. "The small supply is due to several causes, principally to a limit being placed on the amount of whisky made in 1837. The output In Kentucky that year was from 12,000,000 to 11,000,000 less than usual. The output in 1S95 and 1S96 was about an average, but because of the big reduction in 1S97 there was a shortage in six. seven and eight-year whisky from 12.000,000 to 14,000,000 gallons. Another cause of the shortage is the big business of the past year." PEACE DOVE IS WINGED MAY BE HITCH IN SETTLEMENT BETWEEN BIG LEAGUES. Johnson Refuses to Act Unless Nar tlonnl Lcagne Committee Has Fall Power from that League. ' CINCINNATI, Jan. 2. It Is now probable that the peace conference of the National and American baseball leagues will not be held hero on Jan. 7. President Ban Johnson, of the American League, yesterday wired President Hermann, of the Cincinnati club and chairman of the National League peace committee, that unless the National League committee was given full power to act all negotiations would be broken off and no further action taken toward settlement of the baseball war. Mr. Hermann, when seen to-day, said: "I wired Mr. Johnson that I mailed a letter to. him replying to his communication. I expect that he will make known the contents of my letter to him to-morrow. I do not propose to make public the text of any communications I address to him previous to their receipt. "The National League committee has full power to act as much as any other committee, but a committee's action must always be ratified by the entire body It represents beforeIt is legal. If In this instance we should do something that was not ratified by the National League the League would stand divided against us. It Is now up to Mr. Johnson whether there shall be a peace conference or not." As the matter now stands the American League refuses to go Into the conference unless Johnson feels assured that the National League committee has full power to act, and if that assurance Is not given the war will continue. COURT ORDERS SALE. Baltimore Club Will Be Disposed of to Satisfy Creditor!. BALTIMORE, Jan. 2, Judge Wiekes ordered to-day that the sale of the American League Park by J. L. V. Murphy and John C. Tolson, receivers for the Baltimore Baseball and Athletic Company, to Edward H anion for $4,000 be confirmed, unless cause to the contrary be shown on or before Jan. 14. The sale was made as a result of the suit of Henry S. Pippel against the company for about $600, claimed as a balance due for constructing the grand stand. Claims were entered against the company to-day for J7,941.S9. One for J2.242.98 is filed for Roblson and McGraw for money advanced in April and June of last year. A claim Is filed for Joseph C.

The contest was an exciting one from start to finish, the Elwood team showing great improvement since it wa3 last seen here. Indianapolis took the lead in the first period by Gavitt caging the ball in 1:22. The next two goals were mado by Elwood, but Gavitt scored the last goal in the first period. Indianapolis went Into the lead in the second period, but Elwood soon tied the score and went one. ahead by clever team work and the star playing of O'Malley. The crowd became very enthusiastic when Gavitt tied the score in the third period and later when he placed Indianapolis in the lead by making a clever goal. Fitzgerald scored the last goal in the third period and tied the score. The overtime play was fast, and it was by a mere accident that Way knocked the ball Into the Indianapolis cage and Elwood won. The Elwood team played the best game, the team work of the visitors being superior to that of the home team, llipson tried many plays, but for some reason he could not make them count lor goals.

The locals were handicaped by having two regular men off the team. Richmond's work was gilt-edged and her team work all that could be demanded of any winning team.' The visitors scored one at the close of the first period, two in the second and three in the last. Anderson scored one in the second. High School Team Won. The Reds of M. T. H. S. defeated the Y. M.

A game was played at the German House yesterday morning between the Shortridge girls team and a team composed of the Alumni girls and the regular team won by a score of 34 to 6. TRADE, INDUSTRY, LABOR. The Ohio Fuel 8upply Company bar Just drilled a gas well in the Homer field in. Licking county. The well has a dally capacity of 14,000,000 cubic feet. The price of soft coal advanced another notch at New York yesterday, reaching $8.40, wholesale freightage not included. Anthracite averages $10 a ton to the consumer. E. M. Atterholt, of Akron, O., who has been engaged for some time in an attempt to form a combination of the paper bag and ope paper manufacturers of the country, has given up the project. Vice President and General Manager Harahan, of the Illinois Central, stated on Friday that the Illinois Central would spend over $200,000 on terminals at Memphis within the next three months. In Baltimore financial circles yesterday the situation was enlivened by the disbursement of January Interest on bonds and dividends on stocks, lt is estimated that the total interest payments in Baltimore exceeded $5,000,000. Mechanical and electrical equipment of power houses, passenger stations and the complete underground system of the new Pennsylvania tunnel at New York has been intrusted to the firm of Westinghouse. Church. Kerr & Co., designing and construction engineers. The fire loss of the United States and Canada for the year 1902. as compiled by the New York Journal of Commerce, amounted to $149,260.850. This is gratifyingly less than the figures for 1901 of $164,347,450 and 1900 of $163,363,250. During the entire year of 1902 there were 2,400 fires of a greater destructlveness each than $1,000. The annual statements of the London bankers' clearing house shows that the clearance of 1902 again reached the record. The total aggregate of checks, bills, etc., Sasslng through amounted to $50.143.710.K), or over $2,335,000,000 above the amount in 1901. The largest clearance in a single day was $3S4,390,000, on June 30. London's clearings account for $45,792,765,000 of the year's total. New Orleans is now without a supply of fuel oil and all the furnaces recently converted to the use of oil burners are being changed back so that coal may be used. Only one concern in the city has been supplying fuel, and within the last few days ft sent circulars to its customers saying that after Jan. 1 it would no longer be abie to supply oil. The company states that it is unable to get sufficient oil from Beaumont. Testimony from witnesses representing mine operators, wholesalers and retailers of coal was heard on Friday by the Chicago City Council committee on railroads having in charge the inquiry into the cause of the present high prices of soft coal. Of the 150 persons invited by the committee forty responded. The committee Interrogated the dealers, but the testimony all was to the effect that a combination of economic causes and the law of supply and demand have caused the present lack of coal and the consequent high prices. The International Mercantile Marine Company, organized by J. Pierpont Morgan, and with Clement A. Grlscom as Jts president and directing chief, took actual control Jan. 1 of the management of the various lines combined. One of the first moves of public importance Mr. Griscom says will be a rearrangement of sailings to give a fast passenger and mall steamship from both Eides of the Atlantic each day except Sunday. It may take a little time before this dally service can be inaugurated. When it is it will be important to travelers and business men, as it will mean a regular foreign mail delivery with no break. The official returns of the commerce of the port of New York for 1902 show a material gain in the aggregate volume of business as compared with 1901. Some idea of the increase may be had from the fact that nearly $lS.0O0.0O0 more In duties was collected than in the previous year. Imports of merchandise exclusively were larger by about $28.000.000. but domestice merchandise exports declined to the extent of $24,ono,0O0 approximately. The imports of gold and silver In 1902 were about $9.000,000 less than in 1901. The exports of foreign gold and sliver were somewhat greater in 1902 than during

the previous year, while exports of domestio gold and silver were In round numbers $36,000.000 less. The local union of th,j International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers sent out copies of a new wage scale to the manufacturers in the nttsburg district yesterday. The scale, which does not go Into effect until May 1, calls for an advance from 47H cents to 50 cents an hour for an eight-hour day, and provides for apprentices. An effort is being made to consolidate the union with the United Metal Workers' International Association, recently formed by organizers of the American Federation of Labor. If unsuccessful In effecting the amalgamation a strike may result, as President Buchanan, of the bridge workers organization, declares the bridge workers will not be permitted to work with members of any other union. One hundred thousand tons .of breadstuffs must be imported from wheat-producing centers to Australia during the coming season to meet harvest deficiencies, says United States Consul Godlng, at Newcastle, in a report to the State Department, dated Nov. 11. The crop in New South Wales, he says, will not reach 50 per cent, of the quantity reaped last year, and Victoria will require imports of 3,637.920 bushels of wheat to supply her needs.

Kid McCoy arrived in Indianapolis last evening from French Lick Springs where he has been for several days drinking the water at that place and doing some light training. McCoy will probably stay here two or three weeks and may open training quarters 1 this city to get Into condition for several fights he expects to arrange for the next few months. McCoy looks In better condition now than at any time during the past year. He got on the scales at the Grand Hotel last evening and weighed 179 with his clothes on. He would strip now at about ICS, which shows that he is in good condition. "I have cut out all dissipation,' said McCoy last evening, "as I know it does not pay and a man can't keep in condition if he drinks. I haven't taken a drink for several weeks and you can bet that I will stay on the water wagon. I am going to make over $23.000 this year in the ring and I will show the people that I am still one of the top-notchers and ready to meet any fighter. I know I am as clever now with the gloves as I ever was in my life and It won't take me long to get into perfect condition because I have been taking good care of myself lately. "I have deposited $3.000 in New York for a match with Jack Munroe, the big miner, who staid four rounds against Jeffries. A Chicago club is trying to arrange a bout between us, and lt is possible we may be matched. I am willing to meet Marvin Hart. Gus Ruhlin. Sharkey, Corbett. 'Australian' Jimmy Ryan, Joe Choynskl. Jack Root, Kid Carter, or any of the tcpnotchers before any club and matches are being arranged for me with some of them. While I was at French Lick I met 'Australian' Jimmy Ryan, and he is anxious to get on a match with me. He may be one of the first I take on unless I get on a match with Munroe. I am still in the fighting game and will devote my time to lt and nothing rise for the next year or two at least." McCoy says it feels like home to get back in Indianapolis and if he opens training quarters here he will have Doc Payne, of Cleveland, act as his sparring partner and bring other boxers here to help train him. He expects to get on a match to take place before the end of this month. TO CmC A COLD IT OftB DAT Take Laxativ Eroxao-Qulnine Tablets. This

Thousands of Sick Ones Every Week Write for My Book

And to each one I send an order good at any drug store for six bottles Dr. Shocp's Restorative. I let the sick one test it for a month at my risk. If it succeeds, the cost is $5.50. If it fails, I pay the druggist myself. And the sick one's mere word decides it.

You see this offer everywhere all the time. Don't you realize that I must be curing the sick ones, else the offer would ruin me? I care not for prejudice nor doubts, for they are quickly removed when a patient meets me cr writes me. All I ask Is that you who need help you whose health is at stake will let me convince you. When a physician after a lifetime of experience has such faith in himself, you are wronging yourself not to learn what he knows.

I have perfected a treatment which strengthens the inside nerves. It is my discovery, and the sum of my whole life's work. When any vital organ is weak, my Restorative brings back the nerve power that operates it the only power that can make the organ do Its duty. With any other treatment we can only doctor the organ, and the best results are but temporary. My way restores the power that Nature gave the organ at the start. There are but few of these chronlo diseases which can ever be cured In any other way. I cannot always cure. Some of these troubles result from Incurable causes, like cancer. But In the past 12 years I have furnished my Restorative on trial to over half a million sick ones, and 39 cut cf each 40 have paid for It gladly, because they were cured. There are 39 chances in 40 that I can cure you, and I will pay for the medicine you take if I fail.

WILL GO TO THE HAGUE. Gen. Castro's Alternativ Proposition Waa Not Acceptable. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. The condition which President Castro attached to his response to the allies' arbitration proposal was in the nature of an alternative proposition. Almost from the beginning showing an aversion to The Hague tribunal, Castro, while accepting the principle of arbitration, asked that the case be tried by one of the American republics. As President Roosevelt already had declined to act In the capacity of arbitrator and as some of the reasons which, Inspired him in his declination would apply with equal force to the chief executive of any other American state than the United States he was obliged to withhold any indorsement of this proposition of President Castro. Therefore it may be dismissed from the field of possibilities, and unless Castro Is unexpectedly insistent upon his own plan the original proposition of reference to The Hage tribunal will carry.
