1 A.iI3. Au(. t An extraordinary meet
ji;; of the cabinet today to discus tha
Worocca.it situation was held this after
loon. Foreign Minister Plnchon expressed
himself In favor of Immediate energetic ac
tion by franca to secure reparation for tha
nurders of Europeans at Casablanca and
Insure the safety of the Europeans still
there. Inasmuch aa France and Spain
were charged by tha Algeciras conference
to act tog-ether In the matter of pollctng
Casablanca. M. Plnchon advocated, as a
llrst step, proposing to Spain tha Immediate
landing of French and Spanish troops at
the scene of the massacre.
Tha French newspapers, excepting the
socialist Journals, are unanimous In de
manding that tha government take de
cisive steps to enforce respect for France
In Morocco. Some newspapers express the
opinion that Germany will not now stand
In the way, and they think the time Is
rip to abandon M. Delcasse's policy of
pacific penetration," which they contend
has served only to arouse the hatred of
tha Moors for the French and march
straight to Fes. La RepubHque Francaise
says that unless the head of Maelanln
pasha, the governor of Casablanca, Is
obtained, a genuine holy war la likely to
be -precipitated and this would endanger
Algeria.
After tha cabinet meeting It was an
nounced that France and Spain had agreed
to concentrate therr actiona on the coast
of Morocco.

VIENNA. Aug. 2.-M. Clemenceau. the
French premier who la taking the cure at
Carlsbad, has given out an Interview on
tha Moroccan situation. In which he says
that France will be guided by two main
-considerations m dealing with tha situa

First. It will. If possible, find a peaceable
solution of tha difficulty, and, secondly.
It will only take action In agreement with

force write h was scheduled to take place
today has been postponed. If not altogether
abandoned, apparently for the purpose of
enabling the government to be- In a position
to dismiss tha entire police fotce of the city
should such drastic action become neces
sary. The men remain defiant and claim
they will not cease agitation until they have
secured a public Inquiry Into their alleged
grievances. In an interview published In a
local newspaper Constable Earrett, who sti
dismissed from the force for agitation, de
clared that among the grievances of the
men Is the fact that under the present
"Dublin caatle system" only those men who
are willing to play the part of provocative
agents can gain promotion. Barrett claims
that the present agitation will put an end
to the "abominable system of manufactur
ing crime."
The situation la aggravated today by the
threatened renewal of the coal dockers'
strike. These men recently resumed work,
but today the strike leaders aver Prist the
employers are not observing the compact
mad" with the men. in the meanwhile the
government la drafting all available police
men tn Londonderry county and at Donegal

regiment has been transferred from the
Curragh of Ktldare to Dublin and Is there

Colorado, wept bitterly during the service

i has renewed public interest ln the case.
While the authorities admit there are
! many suspicious circumstances which were
not cleared up at the coroner s inquest they
contend there was nothing adduced from
the testimony that would criminally Impli
cate any one.
When Mr. Cooley left Oyster Bay he said
the president had alscussed with him In
a . general way the North Carolina rate
case,
J "The Impression seems to prevail ln
i some quarters." said Mr. Cooley, "that the
j president can do something in this case.
j As a matter of, fact the only thing the
, Department of Justice can do Is to see that
' the process of the federal court ia served
: and that the drders of the court are obeyed.
, in this case there has been no difficulty
i in serving the process and no disposition to
t disobey the orders of the court. There Is
J nothing else the executive department of
the government can do In the matter."
While Mr. Cooley said he was not familiar
with the details of the case, it was his
opinion that it would reach the United
States supreme court during the coming
fail term.

Rate
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1 An attack was
made today on the 3-cent a mile passenger
rate of the Ur.lon Pacific Railroad company
by Charlea A. Sibley, a resident of Ne
braska. Sibley's complaint was filed with
the interstate Commerce
commission and ln
Its nature Is practically unique In
the
history of the commission.
The complaint alleges that the Union Pa
clflc railroad exacts a rate of 3 cents a
mile from Interstate passengers, although
I within the limits of Nebraska It charges a
rate of only 2 cents a mile. He says he
travels from a point ln western Nebraska
through a part of Colorado, to another
point . In Nebraska and is required to pay
the 3-cent rate because the railroad com
pany holds that la Interstate business.
This, he asserts, is a showing by the com
Pny of undue preference to Intrastate pas-
sengers and he asks the commission to
fix a Just maximum passenger rate, which
the company shall charge on interstate
business.

The Union raciflc Is doing and will do
all it can to prevent a coal famine. We are
anxious to build spurs to coal lands ln any
part of our errltory and we tell tha hold
ers of the coal lands so. Several spur
are now In course of construction. One of

. Mr. Kruttschnitt has been on the Paclfla
coast for the last month, partly on a

ation, and has also been Inspecting the
properties of the Harriman roads.
He was met at Lane, the western ter
minus of the new Lane cut-off, by General
I Superintendent Park of the Union Paclfla,
and together they made the trip over the
route of the new line ln an automobile. Mr.
Kruttschnitt was coming from the west on
No. 4. the heavy Overland Limited, which
was somewhat late, so two mail cars and
the private' car No. 100 of the Southern
Pacific were detached and run afhead spe

The special was run on to Omaha, while
' Mr. Kruttschnitt and Mr. Park Inspected

- some extent because of the serious diftV

Collins, are having In keeping enough men
to do the work. It was thought for a time
the new cut-off. which saves nine miles of
running between Omaha and the west,
might be finished by November 1. but de
lays for want of men and because of the
settling of the Immense fill, have set the

CLEVELAND, Aug. I The northwest
will suffer a more severe coal famine the
coming winter than the record-breaking
one laat year, according to coal shippers
here.
Discussing the situation today a promi
nent mine owner said:
"There are now 100 big ore carriers up
the lakee awaiting cargoea. They cannot
get away until the ore reaches the docks
which means a delay of perhaps ten days.
Those huge vessels when they reach Ohtt
porta with ore are not going to take baaft
coal. The cry is, "Ore, ore; more ore.'
"No vesael owner who is not und-r con
tract to carry coal will wait for a coal
load, so the northwest probably, even wth
12.'".tJt tons of coal on the docks by De-
cernD,'r
will experience another coal
famine before next spring.
