Antwerp, Sept. 5.—At least a dozen persons, including strikebreakers and members of the crews of steamers, were attacked and badly wounded by striking dock laborers and the strik- ers continued to terrorize the eity during the evening. They killed a policeman and several children wére wounded during the indiscriminate shooting. Matters reached such a pitch that the authoritles were obliged to send out & drummer to summon the militia, At the same time reinforcements of gendarmes are coming in from the surrounding country. At nightfall a detachment of forty policemen, with drawn sabers, charged a gathering of turbulent strikers. They swept everything before them and the strikers scattered and fled in panic. In other parts of the city strikers overturned trucks containing bales of cotton and other goods, which they burned, . S ORDINANCE. Spitting On Sidewalks, Etc.

PUBLIC IS DISTURBED France Shocked by'News of Se= vere Fighting in Morocco. SITUATION GROWING WORSE Although the French Troops Are Con- stantly Victorious the Dogged Re- sistance of the Moors Necessitates Further Reinforcements., Paris, Sept. 5—The news of Mon- day’s sanguinary engagement near Casa Blanca has shocked as well as disturbed the public. The Moroccan situation is steadily growing worse and although France is constantly victorfous the dogged, fanatical re- sistance of the Moors, who appear to be mobilizing in large numbers, may necessitate a distinot enlargement of the allied forces in order to bring the fighting to an end. The flerce assaults of the enemy are belleved to be due to France's fallure to annihilate the Moors during the last stages of the expedition, a result which France was unable to accomplish on account of the restric- tions imposed on her by the Algeciras convention. M. Regnault, the French minister at ‘Tangler, left Paris during the day for Spain, where he will confer with the Spanish officials on the subject of the enlargement of the action and co- operation of Spain and France. Pre- mier Clemenceau conferred with War Minister Picquart on the develop- ments in Morocco. EIGHT FRENCHMEN KILLED Moors Lost Heavily in Recent Fight at Casa Blanca. Casa Blanca, Sept. 5.—Eight French- men were killed and seventeen wound- ed in an engagement Monday outside the camp. The dead include Major Prevost of the First battalion of the Forelgn legion and Lieutenant Beniz- gas of the Second battalion of Al- gerian sharpshooters. The Moors concentrated the largest force they had yet mustered in this vicinity and returned to the attack again and again after encountering the deadly fire of the French artillery and machine guns. The enemy’s losses are de- scribed as enormous, The fighting was started by an attack made by the Moors on a French scouting party. About 6,000 Moors participated in The Moors, who were repulsed on all sides, made a most im- pressive pleture as, garbed fantas- tically, mounted on white horses and carrying their banners in the front ine, they swépt down from the hills In splendid formation and charged thunderously toe within about 400 yards of the French camp, which for.a floment seemed to be in danger of being oyerridden. As they advanced the Moors chanted in unison verses from the Koran. ’ The Irregular Algerian cavalry em- countered the first shock of the Moors’ assault without yielding a foot from the position they occupied. General Drude quickly employed his forces to the greatest advantage and the Moors were subjected to a fire of shot and shell which soon left the ‘ground strewn with corpses. The engage- ment, which opened at 6 a. m., lasted seven hours. It is estimated that in the engagements of Aug. 28 and Sept. 1 about 800 Moors were killed. OFFERS TO PACIFY MGROCCO Pretender to Throne Makes Proposal to Powers. Paris, Sept. 5—The Libre Parole declares that the cabinet has consid- ered a proposition made to General Drude, commanding the French forces at Casa Blanca, by Mulai Hafig, that if the signatories of the Algeciras convention recognize Mulal Hafig as sultan he will undertake to restore order. He asks, as a pledge of good faith, that the powers permit him to have the arms and ammunition which are detalned at Mogador and says if his proposition is not accepted he will preach a holy war. The cabinet, the Libre Parole adds, has resolved to place the matter be- fore the powers, but at the same time it was decided to send General Drude further reinforcements of artllery and colonial troops from Senegal. FRENCH MOVE FORWARD. ‘Engagement Occurs Seven South of Casa Blanca. Paris, Sept. 5—A dispatch was re- ceived during the day from Vice Ad- miral Philibert, at Casa Blanca, re- porting that a new engagement oc- curred Tuesday, Sept. 3, about seven miles south of Casa Blanca. The French cruiser Gloire participated in the fighting, firing 150 shells at the Moors, who were dispersed and fled to the hills. This engagement fol- lowed a forward movement on the part of the French forces. The ad- miral added that the other ports of Morocco are quiet. At La Bache the French cruiser Forbin has taken on board a party of refugees from Fez. All Improvements Stopped. Macon, Ga., Sept. 5.—As a result of the reduction of passenger rates and the general condition of the money market so far as 1ailroads are com- cerned all improvements have been ordered stopped by President J. F. Hanson of the Central of Georgla rail- way. President Hanson says the rail- road has not sufficlent money to do the work. HEAD OF CONCERN MISSING Receiver Appointed for Cincinnati Manufacturing Company. Cincinnati, Sept. 5.—Because of ‘the mysterious disappearance in New York of Seward Heldelbach, president of the Fabian Manufacturing company of this city, M+ B. Moch has been ap- pointed ‘receiver of that concern and placed under a bond of $600,000. The petition- for the recelvership, in addition to setting forth the facts of the disappearance of Mr. Heidel- bach, states that the action 18’ taken ® E ] with' the consent of the largest cred- itors, who are named as the Market Natlonal bank and Citizens’ National bank, and also one of the two defend- ants, Stanley 8, Raub, the other de- fendant Welng Mr. Heldelbach, The application for a recelver al- leged that owing to the continued ab- sence of Mr. Heldelbach the continu- ance of the business under present conditions would injure the credit of ‘e concern and also its business, which, it 1s claimed, has steadily been and is now prosperous. The Fabian Manufacturing company employs 300 persons and. is known over the entire country.in clothing circles..Mr, Heldel- bach disappeared last month while in New York city. He had returned but a few days previous with Mrs. Heldel- bach from an extended stay in Eu- rope. - Mr. Heidelbach had just recov- ered from an fllness that for a time threatened to end fatally. SEEK OTHER EMPLOYMENT 8triking New York Telegraphers Will Not Remaln. Idle. New York, Sept. 8.—The World says: From now on the striking teleg- raphers will seek temporary employ- ment in other trades, The 400 girls in this city will seek employment in dry goods stores.” They will seek em- ployment ‘also as telephone. operators. Twenty of the men obtained em- ployment Tuesday and on Oct. 1 next, when the eight-hour law goes into offect compelling railroads to make three shifts of elght hours each in twenty-two states, 600 men from New York and Chicago will become oper- ators on railroads. Superintendent Brooks of the Western Union said: “The meeting of the directors on Sept. 10 will take no action on the strike and will simply transact rou- tine. business. The forty-five men from the different locals who are com- ing here to discuss arbitration might as well save expenses and remain where they are. Thelr coming here will do them no good.” SELL FOR SMALL AMOUNT Devlin Coal Properties Bring One Quarter of Receiver's Appraisal. . Chicago, Sept. 5.—~Receiver Walter Rosenfleld sold at public auction at Marquette, IIl, the Devlin coal min- ing properties, consisting ot 7,600 acres of soft coal lands, 110 houses and two mine shafts.

Petorsburg-Berlin Express De- ralled In Germany. Berlin, Sept. 5.—The Prussian rall- way administration has offered a re- ward for the discovery of the persons who wrecked the St. Petersburg-Berlin express between Strausburg and Reb. felde, near Berlin, shortly before mid- night; resulting in eleven persons be- ing injured. Presumably it was the work of anarchists or Russian revo- lutionists who hoped to kill a member of the imperial family who was said to have beén on board the train. The train was derailed and several cars were telescoped and caught fire. An examination of the scene of the wreck at daylight showed that the bolts had been removed from the fish- plates of a fifty-foot rail, resulting in the displacement of the rail after the locomotive had passed over it. The persous Injured were mostly inhab- itants of Berlin, postal clerks, com- merclal travelers and yvo army offi- cers. It does not appear that any Rus- sian of high rank was a passenger on the train, but the Grand Duke Nich- olas Nicholalevitch, with a staff of six officers, is expected to arrive here shortly on ‘his way to the German army maneuvers, when he will be the guest of Emperor William. Whisky Goes Up a Cent. Cincinnati, Sept. 5.—Giving as the reason the high price of corn whisky dealers here advanced the price from $1.31 to $1.32 per gallon. A Curlous Widow's Cap. A very curious cap forms the “wid- ow’s weeds” of the Australla aborigine in one part of the great island contl- nent. Near the northeast bend of the Murray river It is the custom for wid- ows to attend upon the tombs of their departed lords. Then, after shaving their heads, they cover them with pipe clay, kneaded Into a paste. The head I8 first covered with a net to prevent the clay from sticking too tightly to the skin—a misfortune which is partly averted by the amount of grease with which every Australian native is anoint- ed. A layer of this clay several Inches in thickness s plastered over the head and when dry forms a sort of skull- cap exactly fitting the head on which it was molded. As It weighs several pounds, the widow's cap cannot be comfortable. Why Age Improves Wines. “Why do wines improve with age?" “Because they marry,” answered the expert. “Marmye”’ ¢ That Is the term used In the trade. ‘This sherry,’ we say, ‘has mar- vled well’ or ‘that hock has married nastlly’ We mean by a wine’s mar- riage that its different components— the alcohol, the sugar, the carbonic acld and so on—have blended together smoothly. In a new wine this blend- ing, this marriage, has not yet taken place, and hence the harshness of new wines. Ol wines are valued because the alcohol and sugar and acids and others have all married together Into one fragrant compound.”—Exchange. Weather Vanes The best weather vanes are made with the greatest nicety and precision, so that they balance perfectly and turn with the least possible wear. The vane s, of course, longer on one side of the socket than on the other, or it would pot turn with the wind, but its welght Is the sy sides, u{t it 18 & narrow vane, for instance, the welght of the solid head is easily made equal to that of the longer, projecting, but thinner feather end, and all vanes, whatever they may be, are balanced as to welght and so adjusted that they turn easily and with the least possible friction. 4 Crazy People, “Crazy people never act together.” declares the superintendent of a large asylum for the insane. “If one Inmate pttacks an attendant, as sometimes happens, the others would look upon it as no affalr of theirs apd simply watch it. The moment we discover two or more inmates working together we would know they were on the road to recoyery.” How He Caught Them. Archbishop Whately had a true Bense of grammar, says an old English- man who remembers him, and delight- ed to spring catch questions. One was; #What 1s the vocative of cat?” Generally the assured answer was “0 cat!” ‘The archbishop would smile then and eay, “No; puss, puss!” ‘The workingmen -who are participat- ing in it, the court holds, are violating the award of the court of arbitration und may be fined and in case of non- payment may be imprisoned for a term not exceeding one year.

Thirteen fresh cases have been reported at Novgorod. LACE SMUGGLERS CAUGHT Valuable Goods Found Hidden in Varl- ous Ways. .New York, Sept. 6—A well organ- ized scheme for smuggling lace and women’s dress materials came to grief here when customs officials or- dered the arrest of W. L. Hardy and Burton Baldwin, cabin passengers on the stoamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm an honr after the arrival of the vessel. The search of Hardy's baggage re- sulted in the discovery of several thou- sands of dollars’ worth of lace, which was pinned inside shirts, pajama suits, sleeves of coats and legs of trousers in the trunks and in the pockets of a huge traveling coat which Hardy car- ried on his arm. Incidentally Mr. Hardy and his ship- mate’ were also overhauled. Wound around the body of Mr. Hardy was thirty yards of hand made la?:e, valued at about $26 a yard. He accepted the exposure with smiles. The customs officlals think they haye uncovered.a syndicate of smug- glers who have within the last three years brought into this port more than $1,000,000 of dutiable goods. e m— | —Lippincott’s Magasine.
