This assures perfect tranquility throughout the republic. Monte Christi is now in the hands of the Con- | stitutional Government forces. | Emiliano Tejera, Minister of Foreign | Affairs, said to-day: “I attribute the prompt collapse of the | insurrection to the vigor of the Govern- | ment’s military operations; to the finan- cial modus videndi, which restrained the revolutionists from seizing the customs | houses, and to the fact that the'Govern- | ment is a constitutional one. The twenty days’ operations were expensive, but not enough so to embarrass seriously the fu- ture civil administration.” Temporary President Caceres will leave to-morrow for Porto Plata. ———— NEGRO PROTECTED FROM MOB BY NATIONAL GUARD Black Man Who Attacked a School- teacher in Delaware Makes Contession. !

While the Secretaries Prepare for Their Important Work ALGECIRAS, Spain, Jan. 17.—The dele- gates to the Moroccan conference to-day took a day of leisure in order to enable the secretaries to get ready for their work, and indulged in private conversa- tions among themselves or spent the time in preparing with their colleagues for the discussion of the surveillance of contra- band arms in Morocco, the first question to be discussed at the next meeting. Embassador White visited Gibraltar after he and Minister Gummer had gone over the political situation in Morocco regarding lllicit trade in arms. When the conference shall agree on regulations for the punishment of foreigners engaged in smuggling arms into Morocco, most of the countries, including the United States, whl have to legislate on the subject, as only Great Britain and Spain can by orders in council penalize their subjects abroad. While the talk among the Embassa- dors is all of congiliation and harmony, Mohammed El Torres, the Moroccan Foreijgn Minister and head of the mis- slon of Morocco, and Mokri, the Sultan's principal agent, do not believe that the conference will agree. Budgett Meekin, an eminent author- ity on Morocco, held a prolonged con- versation to-day with Mohammed EI Torres and repeated to the press the Moorish views, as follows: Mohammed El Torres Will be & passive ob- server at the conference until it enters the last stage. If the powers do not agree the conterence will fall to pleces of itself with- out the Moors lifting a finger. If. however, the powers accept s general plan of control of Morocco the Sultan cannot be asked to Submit to anything that Wil insult the faith or provoke a rebellion among his own people. The powers will hesitate before facing an in- ternational military occupation of Morocco to fmpose a scheme of administration. The Moors expect some power to take their View-point even were a general agreement attained. They pray much of the time for the Almighty to protect his faithful and they trust that the powers of evil will fall in confusion. The Whole of the Islam world is somewhat ex- cited over the fate of Morocco, as it is the last independent Mussulman kingdom of Africa. Mohammed E] Torres expresses satisfaction at th act that the conference will begin with 2 aiscussion of contraband arms since this is one question on which Morocco is anxious to secure the intervention of the powers. The Mo- roceans contend that, while the French and German governments nominally restrict contra- band arms from entering Morocco, the great manufacturers of arms in France and Germany Teap a harvest by the lllicit introduction of arms, thus fomenting anarchy and insurréc- tion. Therefore Morocco is prepared to have the powers decisively stop this contraband trade, In concluding the conversation Mo- hammed El Torres used the following expressive sentence as indicating the inconsistency of. the. powers: “Why don't they hold a conference upon Rus- sia and establish order there?” On the other hand some of the Em- bassadors fear that the contraband question may preclpitate a crisis over the main Franco-German controversy, as the surveillance of contraband arms involves the determination whether France alone shall patrol the coast or whether the powers shall establish an international patrol. All the delegates accepted 'with satis- faction the election of M. Fallieres as President of the French Republic as an indication that France will continue its conciliatory policy. GIBRALTAR, Jan. 17.—The American cruiser squadron sailed from here for Tangler to-day. Thence the squadron will go to Algiers and Villefranche. —_—————————— PRISON FOR FORMER STATE TREASURER OF ILLINOIS Breaks Down Upon Being Sentenced for Using the Mails to Defraud.

Wulff, who has been prominent in politics in Chicago for twenty years, broke down, declaring that hils heart was broken. —e—————— TRAGEDY IN NEW HAVEN DECLARED TO BE SUICIDE Hiller Brothers Completely Exonerated by Inquiry Into Death of C.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 17.—Organi- zation of the wage scale committee, which was effected at a meeting held at 9 o'clock to-night, was the first step to- ward the paramount business of the con- vention of the United Mine Workers. That an increase in wages will be the principal feature of the report of the scale committee is no longer in doubt and there is very little doubt among the majority of the delegates that their re- quests for more money Wwill be readily yielded to by the operators. 8 Will Raise Property Valuations. +OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 17.—At a con- vention of County Assessors to-day a resolution was passed to the effect that all property in the State of Washin, will this year be assessed at 60 per cent of its face value.

The commission in its discretion may institute any such suit or proceeding upon its own motion or upon the application of any person, firm or corporation interested in the matter com- plained of. The bill further provides as follows: It it be made to appear to the court that any rate or fare of any carrier complained of in such suit or proceeding is unjust and unreasonable or that the carrier is making any such other practice or is doing any such other act in violation of law, the court may, by its ordér or decree, mandatory or other- wise, restrain and enjoin such carrier from continuing In force such rate,-fare or charge or from continuing such unjust discrimination or such other unlawful act or practice on or | after a date to be specified in the order or decree; and thereupon it shall be the duty of the carrfer, on or before such date, to put in force & lawful and proper rate, fare, charge or practice in substitution for that restrained or required to be ch: 5 In case any carrier shall fail. within the time specified in such order or decree to put in force a iwiul and proper rate, fare or charge In_substitution for that required to be , or in case any substituted rate, fare or charge put in force by the carrier shall be unjust and unreasonable or otherwise unlawful, the commission shall have power, upon the evidence in such sult and without further hearing, or, in its discretion, upon further evidence and hearing before the com- mission to make an order directing the car- rier to modify the original or the substituted rate, fare or charge, as the case may be, by putting In force in leu thereof a just and reasonable rate prescribed In such order of the commission, but the commission shall not have power to modify any original or sub- stituted rate, fare or charge to & greater extent than shall be necessary In order to remove the injustice and unreasonableness thereof.

The news that John J. Gleason had been approached in the matter of man- aging the San Francisco Baseball Club next season has met with the appréval of the followers of the game in this city. The consensus of opinion semes to be that a local man should be selected. The fans do not enthuse over the prop- osition of bringing In an outsider. There must be some sentiment behind the club, and an outsider for manager seems to kill off the enthusiasm of the fans. From all outward appearances base- ball seems a dead proposition here un- less some one in whom the sport-lov- ing public has confidence assumes the management of the club whieh will represent this city. LOCCERS KILL HERCE COUCAR Half Starved Animal Turns on Two Men When Cor- nered in a Cookhouse H Blow From Hammer Knoeks Down the Brute and It Is Finally Beaten to.

Stlas Cook, who works in the logging camp of the Otis Lumber Company, went to a tent used as a cook house and found the cougar helping himself to eatables.

The cougar showed fight and attacked Cook, who started to defend himself with a stick of stovewood, at the same time arousing Charles Scott, who was sleeping nearby. Scott threw a big hammer at the cougar and It landed with good effect. The two men then fought the infuriated beast with wrenches, ham- mers and pieces of stovewood.
