Des Moines is Short of Coal.
Des Moines, Dec. 30.—Not la many
years has the city of Des Moines been
so nearly up against a real fuel fam
ine as at this time. The product of the
coal mines which are in the vicinity

for to be shipped elsewhere. There is
not sufficient coal in the bins of deal

two weeks and the situation is
alarming.

will be opportunity for bankers to at
tend both at the meetings just across

secure the attendance of either Secre

Big Land Case Not Settled.
Des Moines, Dec. 30.—The attorneys
are not yet satisfied with the decision
of the courts in the big land case from
Clay county, originally decided by
Judge Thomas. This is the case of
Hawley vs. Griffin, Involving title to
many thousand acres of land onct
owned by John Irwin, who died insane.
The land was in northwestern Iowa
and in Nebraska. There were six
cases consolidated for the purpose ol
an appeal and the court at the Octo
ber term decided them, but a reheai
lng has been asked and an extended
argument made in favor of it. The
case has been in the Iowa courts for
years.
Cherokee Hospital Full.
Des Moines, Dec. 30.—Superintend
ent Voldeng of the state hospital at
Cherokee has written to the chairman
of the state board of control in refer
ence to the necessity* for the estab
lishment of another district for the
inebriates in northern Iowa. It is
found that the new hospital at Chero
kee, which has now been open four
months is practically full. It is there
fore deemed advisable to establish
another place for the inebriates, or
to have the hospital at Independence
designated as a place for them. If
this is done the north half of the
state will send its inebriates and
morphine victims -to Independence
and Cherokee, while those In the
south half will go to Mount Pleasant.

Discuss Moroccan Crisis.
Madrid, Dec. 30.—King Alfonso last
night discussed the Moroccan crisis

marine. In addition to the cruiser In
fanta Isabel, which has already gone
to Tangier, other vessels are to be
held in readiness at Malaga and AL
geciras to take reinforcements to
Ceuta and Melilla. The government
has asked its ambassadors at Paris
and London to ascertain the views of
the British and French governments
concerning the Moroccan situation. It
seemB to be feared in political circles
here that some foreign power will in-,
tervene in Morocco. The latest news
to reach Madrid confirms the previous
reports that Fez has been invested by
the rebels.

IN REGAL PANOPLY
LORD CURZON MAKES HIS STATB
ENTRY INTO DELHI.
Amession of King Edward as Emperor
of India is Richly Celebrated—Cor*
tege is of Monster Proportions.
Spectacle One of Rare Brilliancy.
Delhi, India, Dec. 30.—The viceroy.
Lord Curzon, made his state entry
into the capital of the Moguls yester
day. This constituted the official open
ing of the durbar held to celebrate the
accession of King Edward as emperor
of India.
It was a splendid pageant, probably
unparalleled in its magnificence. At
the head of the elephant procession
rode Lord and Lady Curzon on the
state "grand tusker," twelve feet high,
the largest elephant in India. Their
howdah was decked with gold and sil
ver and the elephant itself was almost
hidden beneath a gold-worked saddle
cloth. The Duke of Connaught, who
represented King Eklward, and the
Duchess of Connaught followed. Their
elephant was equally gorgeously
caparisoned.
Then, in order of precedence, came
the ruling chiefs, seventy in all, their
huge elephants forming a line a quar
ter of a mile In length.
In the rear of the procession rode
Lord Kitchener, the commander-in
chief of India, surrounded by a bril
liant staff, and by three princes with
escorts of Indian cavalry, and tribal
leaders from beyond the border line.
Down the main street moved the
corteges of saluting soldiers and ex
cited, surging, salaaming throngs of
natives. Then, after a four-mile
march, the elephants of the viceroy
and Duke of Connaught halted side by
side and the pageant was concluded
with the great princes filing by, their
elephants trumpeting a salute.
HUMBERTS SAFE IN PRISON.
Noted Persons Arrive in Paris at an
Early Hour.
Paris, Dec. 30.—The members of the
Humbert family, recently arrested In
Madrid in connection with the great
safe frauds in this city, arrived at
Orleans railroad station here at 7:40
a. m. There was no demonstration.
The prisoners were conducted to the
prison.
The public had doubted the sincer
ity of the government in ever attempt
ing to bring back the fugitives, owing
to the political and social shock which
was sure to follow, but the arrival of
the prisoners is now generally ac
cepted as showing the purpose of the
authorities to spare no means for the
prosecution and punishment of the
accused. The plans for the prosecu
tion of the Humberts have not yet
been announced.
Louis Burton of Louisville, Ky., the
returned Philippine soldier who killed
a negro, Frank Walker, in Kansas
City Saturday night, was released Mon
day, the coroner's jury finding that
Burton acted in self defense.

tary to the secretary of the treasury,

urer on the reassembling of congress,
