ROME, Bert. 7. (Special.) "Priest
Hunting In Rome" In the dally heading
In a Roman newspaper, under which the
aeries of insults and outrages to tha
priests In the streets of Rome are -related.
The recrudescence of antl-clerlcal-
Irm, which began Immediately after the
recent municipal elections showed a ma-
Jorlty of sociallnt voters, has assumed
the character of what Is described as
"a furious antl-clerlcal campaign." At
those elections, either through negligence
or timidity, the Catholics In Rome, wen
badly defeated, and since then a sort of
anarchy hns prevailed In the munlclp.il
council and a vigorous campaign of false
charges against Catholic Institutions and
their Inmates has been carried on In the
thousand organs of the press. Then th'.
subversive elements of the population, the
rowdies, the discontented, the youns
men who have grown up without the In
fluences of the church and those who are
the product of the non-Christian school,
rose up in protest against monks and
nuns, against priests and the pope and
the prime minister of Italy, Slgnor
Oiollttl, whom they accuse of furthering
Catholic Interests.
Insults for Prelates.
It Is not possible to quote all the cases
of this nature which have occurred within
A few weeks. Cardinal Cassetta and
other ecclesiastical dignitaries, passing
In their carriages to and from the. Vati
can, were made the object of the vilest
lnnguage of the gutter. Monslgnor
Dnndlnl was struck with a stone on the
ear. Monslgnor Sanfermo Just narrowly
escaped a large stone which graxed the
back of his head. Monslgnor Lorenso
Perosl, the perpetual director of the
Blstlne chapel, choir, arriving in Rome
from Pracchla, waa greeted by a black
guard who attempted to spit In his face;
and so on the story continues from day
to day. The public authorities are cer
tainly weak In the suppression of these
acts and the government Is accused of
neglect or tacit connivance.
The rumor that the pope would1 suspend
projected pilgrimages to Roma In conse
quence of the disturbed condition of minds
tn the city has become a certainty. Ills
('holiness, according to the Osservatore Ro
' mini), taking account of the present very
sad conditions made to Catholics In Italy
by the outburst of antt-cleiiralism, and
knowing that the safety of his children who
should desire to come to htm would not be
sufllclently guaranteed, has come to the
determination to suspend In the meantime
the pilgrimages appointed up to the end
of September. They are as follows: The
pilgrimage of Treviso, the diocese in which
the pope was" born, was appointed to take
place from September 1 to September 6:
the French pilgrimage, directed by Com
mendatore Harmel, was appointed for Sep
tember 8; that of the Camhral diocese, di
rected by Monslgnor Delamalre, between
September t and September 21; the National
French pilgrimage, directed by Monslgnor
Amette. coadjutor of the archbishop of
Paris, arranged for September 20, and.
finally, the pilgrimage from the diocese of
Bergamo, which should be In Rome for
the end of September.
Money side to Question.
Many other pilgrimages are already an
nounced, beginning with the first days of
October, among them being one from Pa
lermo, one from the archdiocese of West
minster and a number of others. For these
and or many others already announced
an' to be announced later the holy father
reserves to himself to deliberate according
as, the conditions allow and according to
the circumstances of the time.
Setting aside the moral consequences of
the etitcry raised against the priests and
Institutions of education, and the Catholic
church. and th political consequences,
which ate likely to be detrimental to the
existing form of government, there are
serious economic questions Involved In this
antl-clerical campaign. Italy for several
year past has derived a very consider
able share of It ready money from tour
ist and pllgrlma. The latter coma In
thousands during the year that are spe
cially marked out. They sow money on
their way, and the greatest harvest Is
reaped ,at Rome, -where antl-clerlcallsm
flourishes unchecked.
From precise calculations made, the
"Corrlere d'ltalla" has reason to state that
the number registered to make the pil
grimage to Home up to t'iie present time Is
64.000. Now, since the pilgrimage, a I
well known, ordinarily laet eight day. It
I a question then of 4:C,W days' nourish
ment. Now, taking also In account that a
part of these (normally one-third) are re
ceived tn refuges depending on the Vati
can, It la not an exaggeration to calculate
the expenses of these at I franos a. day
th economic benefit which they" will Wave
In Rome and 10 franc a day ' for the
other. There I then, tf all the pilgrim
age should be suppressed, a total loss tpr
the shop keeper and working classes v
Rom of I.3U.00O francs, or $62.i0. That
Is a high price to pay for th dubious de-
light of hunting a few clergymen.
Acoordlng to the Journal, La Correspon-
denaa Romans, the political purposes of the j-
movement are similar failures. This Jour
nal declares that the present anti-clerical
ampalgn in Italy 1 utlned with money I
from Frnce.
The Italian newspaper may well claim
the distinction of having done their wort
to produce a religious war in this land.

goaded to
desperation by the striking carters nn.t
aocK laborers and the hooting moot,
killed three in the crowd tr. 'rioting was
quickly stopped. The labor troubles here
began as far back as June, when dis
putes arose between the dock laborers
and the shipping companies in regard" to
the unloading of vessel. On June 26 the
dockers In the employ of four of the
shipping firm came out on strike. Thy
next day their example was followed by
the carters, and labor was imported from
England under police protection.
In the early days of July the masters
sent an ultimatum to the men and de
cided upon a lockout If their terms were
not accepted. They declined the lord
mayor's proposal to meet representatives
of the men, and this refusal was met by
the men's leaders calling the men out jo
strike. From this date numerous dis
turbances arose, police were stoned, vans
held up, and in one case set on fire. On
July 22 the action of the crowds was so
serious that the police made a baton
charge.
Constabulary Brain Troable.
The situation now became complicated
by the action of the constabulary, who
began an agitation for higher pay and
better conditions. They made a great
demonstration on July 27, marching in
Bingle file to the barracks to interview
the acting commissioner. Their demands
were refused, and the lord lieutenant
commented severely on the method and
time chosen by the police to bring for
ward their grievances. On August 2, 400
of the constables were transferred to other
stations.
Meanwhile, the strike trouble proceeded
unchecked, and the military force, "whio".i
had earlier been brought Into the city, was
Increased. On August 7 the streets were
occupied by military patrols, and some of
the soldiers two days later were severely
stoned by strikers. The hostile demonstra
tions Increased by day, and culminated In
the terrible conflicts of Sunday, August
11, and Monday, August 12. A Belfast mob
Is notorious above all other atreet crowds
In the three kingdoms for lawlessness when
Its passion are aroused. The event of
Saturday did not mark any definite stag
In the - downward path . towards anarchy.
But on Sunday the trouble took on a new
and menacing complexion. The police were
attacked by overwhelming force of rioters,
not because they interfered with picketing,
but simply because they wore the uniform
of authority. And by Monday night the
riot had organised itself for the most de
termined onslaught of all. It had collected
ammunition In the form of paving stones
and the paving stones of Belfast are pe
culiarly suited to the business of street
fighting. It had roughly outlined a plan
of campaign, which Included the dousing
of lights and the preparation of entangle
ments of cavalry. There Is a broad line
to be drawn between the acts of a mob,
which, In the heat of sudden battle, makes
use of the missiles that are ready to hand,
and the conduct of another mob, or of the
same mob arter It has tasted blood, in de
liberately arming Itself with stones and
broken bottles, to be used after dark In
an organised attack upon the guardians of
the public peace.
Troop Showed Restraint.
Little need be said about the event of
Monday night, except that the loss of in
nocent lives is none the less deplorable be
cause the resort to ball cartridge was ab
solutely necessary in elf-defense. If the
few liot which were fired had found their
billet in the miscreant who used broken
bottle a weapon In a hand-to-nana
struggle lrlct Justice would have been
done. The one redeeming feature of the
situation was the self-restraint shown by
the troops under conditions which put the
severest stress upon discipline. The shoot
ing of civilians in street rioting is an
event happily so rare in our country that
there Is a disposition In some quarters to
Hnd an official scapegoat It is suggested
that the authorities showed a belated firm
ness in dealing with riot. On need not
cite th incipient mutiny of police tn he
defense of the executive arm of the law.
It hould be sufficient to point out that
th executive, confronting uch a ltuatlon
a that which developed at Belfaat, must
alway prepare for blame, whether It re
sorts to military measures early or late.
In the former case It I Indicted on the
ground of harshness and provocative meas
ures. In the latter it I accuaed of dlla
torlness and want of resolution. But the
executive In a civtllxed country will al
ways prefer to be blamed for shooting too
lata rather than too soon.
There was a foretaste on Sunday of what
was to com next day. Just as It was get
ting dark tha police were attacked by mobs
off Grosvenor road, nine constables receiv
ing serious Injuries. The mllitsry. consist
ing of detachments of the Essex and Sus
sex regiment and the Cameron Hlghland
ers. were at once called out. It was about
9 o'clock when a aectton (Of the Infantry,
with fixed bayonets, came on at the double

nonade of paving stone, brick, broken
bottle and other missiles greeted them.
Each side of th street as they passed fur

dramatic Interest of the situation for the

Both sultans are sons of the Fame father
and they are dally issuing passionate ap-
' peals to the patriotism and religious en
i thusiasm of the nation each denouncing
his rival as being worse than an lnndel, a
traitor to Islam.
In the meanwhile the powers have not
yet decided whether to recognise Mulal
Haflg aa sultan of the south, seemingly
awaiting the result of the appeal to the
arbitrament of civil war. The general Im
pression he.e that France and Spain have
resolved upon the immediate occupation
of all the Moroccan seapoats has caused
universal consternation, for it Is feared
that any extension of the Intervention of
France and Spain will Infallibly provoke
further massacres of Christian and Jews
In the coast towns. A situation never con

serious events will follow.
Moors Ask Armistice.
PARra, Sept. 7. A special dispatch from
Casablanca received here this afternoon
annoimced that the various Moorish tribes
around that place had asked General Drude,
the French commander, to suspend hostili
ties for' the purpose of negotiating peace.
The general, the dispatch says, agreed to
remain Inactive until tomorrow, when he
will march on Taddert.

to the realisation that the Moroccan ques
tion loom . bigger eevry day. The real
question Is: Will France be compelled In
order to crush the hostile Moors, to des
patch an imposing expeditionary army Into
the Interior. It Is generally accepted that
General Drude, with his force of 7,000 men.
Is powerless to make a punitive trip Into
an unknown country and against the
enemy which number now over 20,000 men,
and whose forces are reported to be con
stantly growing. Casablanca, meanwhile,
could be seised by the Moors. It Is realised
that France la placed In a most delicate
position in trying to remove the suspicions
of the powers and at the same time pacify
the Moors.
Apart from the situation at Casablanca,
the proposed occupation of the Moroccan
ports by French and Spanish troops, which
has been agreed to by the powers, will
place the responsibility for securing order
upon France and Spain, the limits of whose ;
operations must necessarily be governed ;
by the future attitude of the Moors. It
Is admitted1 on all sides that the organisa
tion of the police and the pacification of
Morocco will prove to be a long and com
plicated task.

France's circular note to the signatories of
th Algeclras convention will not be drawn
up before Monday next. It Is understood
In the most influential quarters that Ger
many will not give a negative reply to the
suggestion that the International Moroccan
police be temporarily constituted from
purely French and Spanish elements. Some
reserves, however, will certainly be made
on the subject. It Is fully understood here
that the present situation at Casablanca
and Mazagan was not foreseen at the time
the Algeclras convention was drawn up
and requires to be specially dealt with, but
Germany will consent for the moment lo
rely on French loyalty to the engagements
entered Into. No limitation, therefore, is
likely to be placed on the French military
movements so long as they are considered
to be necessary for the security of Euro
peans and of the Moroccan ports.
The Cologne Gaxette evidently under
semi-official Inspiration after reiterating
that the powers have placed no hindrance
In the way of the French military expedi
tions, says:
"So far as Germany Is concerned France
need not fear Interference In any of the
measures deemed advisable to restore order.
But the formation of the international
police entirely from Frenchmen and Span
lards is a matter which causes soma hesi
tation here as though It is a small affair,
It forms the first rent In the Algeclras con
vention. No body has the right to doubt
the loyalty of France, but It might happen
that if the convention were once changed
further and more serious breaches might
follow. Therefore unless there Is a press- I
Inff necessity to the contrary, the terms of i
the convention should be carried out In
their entirety."

FRUIT JOBBERS WAR
Western Association Charges Rail
roads with Gross Discrimination.
WILL FILE FORMAL C0MPLAIN1
Decides to Appeal to the Interstato
Commerce Commission.
ACTION COVERS WHOLE COUNTRY
Calculated to Tear to Shreds Entire
Rate Fabric.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS
President Jones Say Rnllrnads Fores
Defense hy Imposlnas Intolerable
Injustices on Members of
Association.
Alleging ktoss discrimination In freight
rntes against fruit anil vegetable growers
and deulcrs, the Western Fruit Jobbers'
association v. Ill bring formal complaint
against the railroads before the Interstste
Commerce commission. Insuring an Investi
gation far wider In Its scope than any
yet undertaken by the commission.
The executlce committee of the associa
tion met yesterday at the office of Secre
tary K. B. Branch ami laid plans for ac
tion. There were present President H. M.
Jones of Sioux City. R. A. Gamble of Min
neapolis. J. W. Howard of Denver. T. D.
Turner of Oklahoma City, members of th
committee, also Secretary Branch ol
Omuha and John Lang of Sioux City, chair
man of the board of directors. They rep
resent several hundred fruit Jobbers from
Chicago to the Pacific coast, comprising
tho largest and most Influential organiza
tion of Its kind In tho country.
All Itat- Are Involved,
All rates on vegetables and fruit from
Maine to Oregon and from Canada to Mex
ico are Involved. The work of the com
mission on grain rates or on coal rate 1
but a drop in the bucket to the work that
will bo asked of It In the fruit investiga
tion. If the contentions of the association ara
sustained the entlro rate fabric of the
I'nilod States will be torn to shreds.
Novelty Is presented ill the complaint of
the jnblN-rs. Instead of raising the com
mon clamor that discriminatory rates are
made In favor of certain fruit markets they
say the railroads doHcrlmlnate against tils'
entire fruit and vegetable trade In favor of
other lines of business. In other words,
rates are reduced from time to time on
meat, grain, creamery products and other
merchandise and thu fruit trade pay tha
difference with exorbitant tribute.
Railroads Are r'.rrnlng I p.
"Great corporations like the Beef trust
have forced rates down on their products
and the railroads have to even up their
revenue by putting the screws on the
unorganised sources of business," says
President Jones. "They charge $60 for
icing a car of fruit or. vegetables from
Los Ar.geles to Chicago and only $16 for
the same service on a car of meat, a much
mora valuable product, from Chicago to
Los Angeles. One Is moved as quickly ss
the other, the preference, if any, being
given to the meat.
"The freight on a car of melons from
Texas to Omaha far exceeds the amount
paid for tho melons at the Texas markets.
"A shipment of Nebraska grapes from
Omaha to Chicago must pay 46 cents per
100 pounds, but a shipment of meat front
the South Omaha pncklng houses pays only
20 cents per 100 pounds.
"These are not exceptional Instances,
The sumo conditions prevail all over th
I'nlted States and rates are higher every
where on fruits and vegetables than 00
any other merchandise of like value.
Rank Case at Hand.
"Here Is another strange thing. A Jobber
In Omaha la rc'iulred to pay precisely as
much freight on oranges from California
as a Jobber in Liverpool pays.
"The railroads havo always been free to
Impose on the growers and Jobbers of fruit
because the latter have not been banded
together In organisations powerful enough
to resist them. They are becoming edu
cated now and realise the necessity of
united action to protect themselves. Our
organization is composed of Jobbers, but wa
will endeavor to enlist the active support
of every grower In the I'nlted States."
Secretary Branch says it will require sev
eral months to p'repare the case for tho
complaint and several months more work
after the complaint is nmde.
The association now has one case before
tho commission, but It was brought up in
a different way. The association com
plained to congress that the express com
panies were buying and selling fruit and '
produce; congress ordered an Investigation,
by the commission.
It is expected that a hearing on th ex
press matter will be held in Omaha In
October. The hearing on the new griev
ance of the fruit men probably will not- be
had until lato In the winter.
