Muley Hassan was born in 1531 and suc- ceeded to the sultanate September 25, 1873, It s now known the sultan dled suddenly on June 7, at Tadla, between Morocco and Casa Blanca. Measures have been taken here to prevent anticipated disorder. Sensational rumors are In circulation as to the cause of the sultan's death, and the populace 1s becoming excited. MADRID, June 11.—Advices from Morocco say trouble is expected throughout Morocco and especially around Melilla and Ceuta The Spanish government has requested the European powers to act in concert in Moroceo to maintain the statu quo and avert a civil war. The powers, including France, have given notice of their accept- ance of this suggestion. The cruiser Conde Venldo has gone to Tangler to be at the disposal of the Spanish minister in the case of necessity on the occasion of the formal recognition of the new sultan. been between The news of the death of the sultan of Morocco caused a great sensation on the bourse and in political circles here.

LONDON, June 11.—A prominent banker of this city has received a dispatch from Tangler dated this afternoon saying that the belief prevails that the late sultan was foully murdered. A dispateh to the Times from Tangier says: A steamer from along the coast has arrived here and reports all was quiet at the various places at which she stopped. Abdul Aziz has been acknowldged as sultan and is collecting forces at Rabat to go to Fez. Little or no opposition to his acces- slon to the throne s expected there. A dispatch to the news agency from Tan- glers says, according to the certificates of the doctors who attended him the cause of the sultan’s death was dysentery A dispatch from the Standard from Ma- drid says: All the Spanish officers and dip- lomats here who have recently been in Mor- rocco apprehend serious trounle if the fanati- cal party, headed by Muley Mahommed, the eldest son of the late sultan, should resist the proclamation of his brother as sultan. Four brothers of the late sultan are also likely to prove a source of trouble to Abdul Asslz. DEMANDED THE REFUGEES, Government of ¥an Salvador Makes a De- mund for Their Surrender. LA LIBERTAD, Salvador, June 11.—The newly organized government is making des- perate efforts to secure the surrender of the Tefugees aboard the United States steamer Bennington, and after making formal re- monstrance against the exten:lon of asylum 1o the late vice president and his stalf, has made a demand upon the consul for their surrender. For the time being he waives en- tirely the right of asylum and charges that fhese officials have been guilty of embezzle- ment and demands their surrender under the extradition treaty. Consul Pollock consulted over this new phace of the case with Com- mander Thomas of the Beanington and then informed the government he could not meet the demand until so instructed by the Wash- ington officials. He was served with extradition papers regularly drawn and then cabled an account of the aftair to Washington. So far he has not had a re- sponse. Meanwhile the refugees are beins detained on the Bennington, and will not be permitted to take passage on the coasting steamers to a port of safety. The refugees insist this movement of Guiterrez is nothing more than a pretext to obtain their sur- render, when he will promptly avenge him- self by punishing them for political reasons. The impression is general, however, that they must be surrendered, all legal 'forms having been observed, but the United States consul will probably request a pledge that the refugees will be tried only on the charges specified. SAMOA Wil . BE DISCUSSED, Delegntes from British South Sea Islands Enroute to the Ottuwa Confercnee. VICTORIA, B. C. June 11.—The Arawa, from Australian ports, brought a number of notable persons, the delegates from the Bouth sea colonies to the intercolonial trade conference to be held in Ottawa. They are wll anxious for closer relationship with Can- ada, and the conference will be one of the most notable in colonial history. The pro- posed British cable from Canada to Australia and the annexation of Sanwa, or the future of that country at least, besides the com- mercial feature of Intercolonial trade de- valopment and legislation necessary in that direction, will form the conference program. The Samoan trade Is still very much un- settled and a source of grave anxlety to the colonfes in the South seas. It is not at all unlikely that the solution of the problem will be found in annexation to New Zealand. The Australlan colonies are a unit in opposi- tion and urge the inability of New Zealand to protect Samoa if acquired.

Each that circumstances agreement here in jeopardy, session at § side expressed had but a feeling elsewhere placed an each would try to effect an agreement if possible. John McBride said the miners were not contending for a recognition of the miners unfon, but for a uniform scale. Phe Assoclated press agent was informed this afternoon that the conference will not adjourn until some agreement is reached. A rumor of settlement this morning was unfounded. Before going into executive session as a joint committce the miners held a private conference of about an hour's duration Some of the operators have said they pre- fer to deal with organized rather t ganized labor. More uniform results obtaited. A failure to agree means, In their opinfon, a resumption of the strike at some Inopportune time in the near future. Colonel W. P. Rend of Chicago, who Is very anxious to effect a settlement, sub- mitted 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 September 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 McBride and the probabilitics are that he will make a_fair proposition to the scale committee, Several operators, in a private way, said they would agree to Colonel Rend's plan. The statement wired from here that the strike has been settled with the exception of Ilinols is not correct, but the agent of the Associated press has information to the effe that the conference will not adjourn until it Is settled, and, in his judgment, it will be on the basis outlined in his dispatches of today. ¢ About 5:30 the scale committee announced an agreement had been reached and was being drawn up. The compromise was on a basis of 60 cents for Ohlo and 69 cents for western Pennsylvania. . The agreement Is not to take effect until next Monday, June 18, the miners desiring to have a week to sub- mit the matter to the various districts, as much opposition to the compromise 1s expected and the miners will have to be prepared to accept it. The agreement, which has not been made public, will be submitted to the joint conference at 8 p. m. for ratifi- cation, At the joint conference tonight the agree- ment was ratified. A. A. Adams, president of tho Ohio miners, who was a member of the scale committee, refused to sign the agreement. The settlement, however, s final. The scale agreed upon is as follows: Pittsburg thin vein, 69 cents, thick vein, 56 cents; Hocking valley, 60 cents; Indlana bituminous, 60 cents; Indiana block, 70 cents; Streator, Iil,, 62% ecnts for summer and 70 cents for winter; Bloomington, Ill., 77% cents for summer and 85 cents for winter; La Salle and Spring Valley, Ill., 72% cents for summer and 80 cents for winter; other sec- tlons in northern Illinols fields at prices relative to the above. The scale of prices will be in effect and bind both parties there- to, beginning June 18, 1894, and continuing 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 thelr efforts to secure a general observance of taid prices and if, during the period cov- ered by this agreement, a general recognition of the prices herein named, cannot be se- cured, either party to this agreement may call a meeting of the joint board of arbi- tration to determine whetlier the agreement has been sufficiently complied with to war- rant its continuance. POMEROY, 0., June 11.—Delegates froin all the mines in this district went into se- cret sassion here at 10 o'clock to make ar- rangements to meet the operators in con- ference at 2 p. m. It is understood that the price of last year will be demanded for min- ing, and that operators will accede to this demand. All operators are now here. The conference resulted in a_disagreement. BIRMINGHAM, Ala,, June 11.—The com- mittees representing the miners and opera- tors Qid not meet today. The outlook for a perfect settlement of the strike is considered gloomy. WYOMIN MINERS SATISFIED. Pacific Coal Company’'s Operators ‘Will Continue at Work. CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 11.—(Special to The Bee.)—Superintendent McGeath of the Union Pacific Coal company paid an official visit to the mines of the company in Wyo- ming last week. In reply to an inquiry con- cerning the feeling ameng the miners Mr. McGeath stated that he did not hear of a sin- gle complaint from the men, which led him to believe that they were entirely satisfled. It Is known that representatives of the coal miners in the east have waited upon the miners employed in the various mines in Wyoming within the past ten days for the purpose of enlisting their sympathies in the strike. The Wyoming miners have thus far refused to listen to any proposition to join in the movement. When one of the committeemen from the east waited upon the Rock Springs miners he was informed that the company was treat- ing the men fairly, and, therefore, they had no grievance, The chairman of the commit- tee representing the Rock Springs miners further informed the eastern representative that it would not make the slightest differ- ence to the men in the east whether the Wyoming mines were shut down or not, for tho reason that no Union Pacific coal was being sent east of the Missouri river, For this reason the question of the operation of the Wycming mines has no bearing on the success of the eastern miners who are now out. As the situation now stands the Wyo- ming miners have nothing in common with the eastern men. If the Union Pacific co pany was supplying the eastern market the situation would, no doubt, be differen In order to be prepared for any emergency that might arise the company has been storing a great deal of coal at various points along the line. This has given an unusual amount of work to the miners for this season of the year. NOW FOR A G of Labor to Quit Until t Conl Strike Is ttled. PHILADELPHIA, Juigo 11.—The Press will say tomorrow that when Secretary- Treasurer John W.

REPUBLICANS 0UT 1N FORCE Thousands Gathering at Lincoln to At'end the Republican League Convention, ARE MAKING FREE SILVER AN ISSUE nent of the 16 Wil Be Made-Hosts of Candidates Mingle with the Throng, LINCOLN, June 11.—(Spec The Bee)—'You may say Slaughter late this afterncon as he entered another batch of forty names fn a book, “that there will be 1,500 legates to the state convention of republican clubs in this city tomorrow and that will be an- other 1,500 wide-awake, enthusiastic republi- cans present to participate in the event.” Every indication points to a verification of the prophecy. train coming into Lin- coln brought its advance guard of delegates 1 Telegram to " sald Brad there and by evening the corridors of the hotels were swarming with the men who are in Lincoln to work for the success of the re- publican ticket. the Hotel Lincoln were crowded all after- noon and Chairman Slaughter and his as- sistants had their hands full in taking care of the business that piled upon their desks. Church Howe was the first man to put in an appearance last evening followed an hour or so later by J. T. Mall lieu of Kearney. This morning E. C. Carn of Seward dropped in and then it was known for certain that the convention was to be a success. Carnes hasn't put in an appear- ance in Lincoln since his crowd of senatorial lobbyists made such a dismal failure of their efforts to buy independent votes in the legi lature nearly two years ago. It s to be a convention of candidates as well as a convention of delegates. cvery candidate in the state has engaged headquarters at one or the other of the hotels in this city, and every one of them is keeping open house. In fact the convention is so nearly like a regular nominating con- vention that but few of the old timers can tell the difference. SILVER ISSUE BOBBING UP. The most prominent feature of the general discussion in the hotel lobbies this evening is the unusual interest taken in the silver question. It is feared by many of the cooler headed men that an effort will be made to stampede the convention tomorrow in favor of a resolution declaring for the free coin- age of American silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, and a_protective tariff on foreign silver shipped into this country from abroad. Ac- cording to the talk tonight it is expected that the issue will be sprung in the conven- tion tomorrow by Prof. W. Andrews, private secretary for Governor Crounse and candi- date for congress in the Fifth district. Prof. Andrews has made a study of the silver question, both from an economic and politi- cal standpoint. He stands very nearly on the platform recently adopted by the repub- licans of Ohio. At a county convention in Hastings last Saturday, to select delegates to the Fifth district congressional convention, Andrews made a speech in which he elabor- ated upon the siiver question as he believes it. The speech made a marked lmpression and swung to him many who had opposed his nomination. The progiam now contem- plated by his friends tonight is to see that Andrews has an opportunity to make the same speech to the 1,500 delegates tomorrow. Hon. C. H. Deitrich of Hastings, president of the German National bank of that city and a prominent republican of the Fifth district, arrived in the city this afternoon for the purpose of talking the silver ques- tion. Mr, Deitrich is one of the very few national bankers who favor the white mctal and he is an enthusiastic admirer of An- drews. However, he deprecates the idea of having the convention tomorrow adopt a free silver resolution, or even adopting a resolution embodying the views of his favor- ite, Prof. Andrews. He is, however, urging the delegates to declare their sentiment in favor of the Andrews policy, leaving the formal declaration of the party to the reg- ular state convention, which is to assemble in Omaha in -August. Chairman Slaughter and the other members of the program com- mittee this evening decided to invite Prof. Andrews to present the silver question at the convention tomorrow. The Bee was this afternoon shown letters from prominent republicans and delegates to the convention from many points in the norta and west parts of the state, all expressing a strong sentiment in favor of the free coin- age of silver. Many of these letetrs stated that the republican party could only be strengthened in those parts of the state by a liberal position toward the white metal. Most of the delegates from the western and northwestern counties seem to have caught the silver infection and the temptation is strong to throw out a bait for wary populist votes. Republican headquarters in although he w OPPOSITION IN PLENTY. At the same time there is a formidable number of men here who will strenously op- pose any and every effort to swing the con- vention to a silver declaration. These men are of two classes. One class Is inherently opposed to the silver fallacy. The other fs composed of men who really care but little for the silver question, but who doubt the advisability of making any expression that will or may have a tendency to embarass the regular nominating convention, ~They only ask of this convention that the delegates make no attempt to anticipate any action that the regular convention may desire to take. They are working hard and tonight it looks as if their wiser counsels would prevail and that the most the convention will do to- morrow is to make an informal expression of friendliness to the white metal and let the matter go over for final settlement by the regular nominating convention. Considerable amusement was created this afterncon by the circulation of a copy of an Omaha publication containing, under vivid headlines, a story to the effect that the dele- gates to the present convention were circu- lating a petition of which the following is a copy: SILVER PETITION. gned members of the old re- publican party declare themselves In favor of the colnage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and under no consideration will favor the 'election of @ kn single standard man to an office where his influence can affect silver on this basl The pnblication was passed around at an informal gathering of delegates in repub- lican headquarters, and, although there were delegates present from nearly every county in the state, none of them had ever scen or heard of the alleged petition. The article was denounced as a harmless fake by even the sliver men, for among all the silver men present none of them would subscribe to tho extreme views therein DECLINES TO RUN. Hon. I. M. Raymond created quite a flutter among the candidates this afternoon by formally withdrawing from the gubernational race, into which he plunged by an equally formal letter several weeks ago. Mr. Ray- mond's reasons for withdrawing from the race are best stated by himself in the open- ing paragraph of his somewhat lengthy withdrawal: “A few weeks ago I allowed FRE unde my name to be presented for the office of governor of the state of raska. Since that time I have given the matter a great deal of thought, and went over the responsi- bilities attached to the office, the time that it will take, and I have come to this con- cluion: That I cannot afford to accept the nomination if tendered me by the republi- cans of the state of Nebraska. 1 am so actively engaged in various business enter- prises in this state that if I were nominated for governor they would, in my opinion and the opinion of my partuers in business and associates and stockholders therein, suffer on account of my time and talent being occupled in governmental affairs and not applied to those enterprises in which they hold me responsible for success or fail ure.

Howe Is consider ably disturbed over one or two personal at- tacks which have recently been made upon him, the first one being the roast in the Sutton Advertiser, which has been widely copled by his enemies. This particular roast has been saddled upon J. W. Johnson, one of the secretarles of the St Board of Transportation, although that gentleman strenously detifes that he had anything to do with it. The Lincoln papers, too, have been somewhat severe upon Howe, but his smile has lost none of fts cunning and he still claims that he is among the leaders in the congressional race In the First district J Mallaliou of Kearney and Matt Daugherty of Ogalalla, both republican as pirants for congressional honors in the Sixth district, are h working cheek by jowl in a_friendly contest for supporters. Judge | Kinkaid of O'Neill, who is also a candidate, has not yet put in an appearance. Congressmen Meiklejohn and Hainer be with the convention tomorrow as look on. They are not looking after their inter- ests, as there seems to be no opposition to their renomination. . H. MacColl leaders in th ent, the forme will and Tom Majors, both gubernatorial race, are pres- at the Lincoln and the latter the Wnidsor. It is generally known that Majors' relations with the state central com- mittee are not as close and cordial as they might have been had the committee been or- ganized differently. Many of the leading members of the committee make an open secret of the fact that they are not friendly to the nomination of the Omaha man. Some asgert that they are holding dam- g facts against Majors in their posses- sfon and that if he proves a formidable can- didate for the nomination they assert that they will produce their cvidence in the ha convention and demand a public ex tion.

Barber of jrand Island is there working in his own Pickett of intere He is a candidate for superintend- ent of public instruction. In this ambition he is opposed by several other candidates, Frank McClusky of Lincoln being one of the most prominent. A. K. Goudy makes no secret of the fact that he is a candidate for a third term, but his candidacy has aroused a strenuous opposition from every quarter of the state. Goudy is making his fight en- tirely without outside assistance R. E. Moore of this city claims to be really in earnest in his desire to be the re- publican candidate for lieutenant governor. When he first came out a candidate it was generally believed that he desired the Lancaster delegation more for the sake of Majors than for himself. Mr. Moore has made the discovery that he cannot have the delegation as a speculation and that if he gets it at all he must get it for hims:1f alone. He is not without opposition. B. M.

It is also sus- pected that Omaha has several other men who would be willing to accept the second place on the ticket, provided that city can- not secure the first place, LEWELLING HAS 1T FIXED. General Belief that All the Populist State OfMcials Will Be Renominated. TOPEKA, Kan., June 11.—It is the very general sentiment among the delegation to the populist state convention tonight that the entira administration will be renominated tomorrow. The anti-administration forces held a meeting this evening, but did not de- velop a great deal of strength, and the Lew- elling Yorces are thoroughly organized convention convenes at 11 o'clock tomor . Most of the delegates arrived today and the state offices have been filled all day. To- night a general reception was tendered the visitors in representative hall by the state officials. A large suffrage meeting wa flton hall, which was addressed by promi- nent leaders in the cause. The leaders of the populist party are strongly opposed to a suffrage plank, as they hope to get demo- cratic votes for the ticket and realize that such an endorsement would not be accept- able to the democrats.
