faction
The Foreign ofice was highly Eratlfed
this morning TO receive the dispatch from
the French minister at Fee, announcing
that the sultan had yielded all points de-
manded in the French ultimatum. The

preceding the expiration OF the French
ultimatum, the grand viEer. 81 Feedoul
Garnit. accompanied by retinue, went to
the French legation. where he was received
by the minister and his stan and the lead

zlan and handed the minister the amount OF
the indemnity demanded for the imprisoned
man and also presented letters from the
Moroccan ministry of foreign affairs, an
nouncing that the caid responsible for

WATER COMPANY ANSWERS
Denies Right of City to Buy Works
or Inspect Books and
Papers.

The Omaha Water company has filed its
answer in the United States circuit court
In the case Of the city against Daniel w.
Mead, John w. Alvord, George w. Ben
zenberg and the Omaha Water company.
The answer is of the Omaha Water COM
pany, defendant, to the bill of complaint
of the Water board and appraisers.
The answer denies that the Water board
has any given or other authority or sup
port from the Rppralsement resulting from
the election OF the city OF Omaha TO buy
the water works OF this company by virtue
OF any ordinance or contract hereunder
and denies that the Water board has any
power to reject any appraisement, and that
so far as any statute OF the state OF Ne
braska may purport to give such authority,
impalrs the obligation of the contract be-
tween the city OF Omaha and the defend
ants, and is in violation OF the federal
constitution,
The allegation is made that the city coun-
ell is without authority to compel pro-
duction OF the books and papers OF the
water company and that under the law
there is no provision for any review of the
appraisal, either by appeal, error or any
other proceeding to any court, either state
or federal. The defendants further deny
that they have presented to the Board OF
Appraisers any statement or that they
contend that said Board Of Appraisers
shall estimate or return a part of their ap-
praisal or award without segregation ol
otherwise of property to which this de-
fendant has no right or title.
The answer denies in general all unlaw
| full combination or confederacy charged II
the bill OF complaint and asks that the bill
OF complaint be dismissed with all reason
able costs wrongfully sustained.

NEW GRAFT TO GET MONEY
Sharks Collect Money on Street Cars
While Conductor is Busy
in Rear.

A new graft is being tried in Omaha
It consists OF impersonating a street car
conductor, collecting as much small change
as possible before discovery and then leap
ing from the moving car.
The first instance of the kind occurred
on a Farnam car leaving Sixteenth street
Wednesday night. A good looking young
man got on the front end OF the car, the
conductor being busy with the passengers
getting on and on. AS soon as the car
started he passed along the running board,
holding out his hand which contained a
few small coins. Several passengers
dropped money into his palm. He then
Jumped on the car and was lost IN the
crowd.
The easy parting from their money by the
passengers is accounted for by the fact
that new men not yet equipped with uni
forms are frequently broken in and al
| lowed to collect fares under the tutelaEe
| of old conductors. Most, II not ALL OF the
novices, however. wear regulation caps.

Expect TO he Called to

United States District Attorney Baxter
WAS asked Thursday morning relative to
the probability of his being called into
the trial Of the packers cases before the
United States courts at Chicago In Octo-
Der. He said:
Il have no reason 10 believe that I shall
be called into ths cases. Many of the
witnesses examined before the federal
grand jury here have been summoned in
the cases, but that l think is simply the
result Of our Investigations here. The
transcript OF their testimony has been sub
mitted TO District Attorney Morrison at
Chicago. and I am rather disposed TO think
we will have nothing further 10 do with
the cases from this end OF the line. We
have Furnished some very good evidence
from Omaha and II doubtless will hava
an important bearing on the trials The
Omaha witnesses are directed to report al

O'CONNELL'S ELECTION SURE
President Of Nsohinists Considered ~
Certain Of Another Term.
TOM WILSON IS SLATED FOR DEFEAT
sam Grace and George Norman Go
TO Boston TO Attend the Inter
national MRchinists'
Convention.

Sam Grace and George Norman of Omaha
left last night for Boston to attend the
biennial convention Of the International
Association Of Machlnists at Boston. which
begins next week. Mr.. Grace is business
agent OF District lodge No. II. comprising
all the lodges Of Nebraska and wyoming
and part Of Colorado, and member OF the
North Platte subordinate lodge, which he
will represent as we'll as the district Mr..
Norman Is the representative of Omaha
lodge No. 81.
This meeting OF the international lodge
will be held under rather peaceful condl-
tions-far more so than have marked the
conventions Of late years. and yet sohed-
ules and conditions Of the machinists will
receive wide and generous discussion.
One OF the important matters coming
before the convention will be the an
nouncsment OF the referendum vote on
the international oficers. This vote should
have been in by September !. but was
delayed. It will be complete and ready
for announcement at the convention, how
ever, Mr.. Grace says;
Tom Wilson slated to Go.
For president there are three candidates,
James O'Connell OF washington, d. c.. the
present incumbent, known in Omaha for
MS lESQueul NlHlIb ufGo lu0 OnlOU
Pacific strike: M. Landers Of Hartford,
Conn, and d. w. Roderick of Chicago,
In the judgment Of local machinists
oConnelrs recollection is assured Some
feeling was engendered against him In
certain quarters a few months ago, but
the animus back of that is fully under
stood by the machinists and 1t is thought
will have no vital effect on the vote.
The names Of two members of Nebraska
lodges appear on the national ballot, Sam
Grace for executive committeeman and
Thomas L. Wilson for reelection as fourth
vice president. Grace's election would be
gratifying to every machinist in the west
and they are making a strong pull for him
Wilson, we'll known in Omaha for his lead
ership in the Union Pacific strike, is re-
garded as extremely doubtful OF reelection
A persistent tight is being made on him
| local men assert, and II he IL reelected II
will surprise his friends very much. Hill
opponent is A. z. Holder OF Des Moines.
To be elected a candidate must secure
majority OF all votes cast so a draw is no
| beyond the pale of possibilities.
The Omaha men expect to be back here
by the last OF the month.
