AND ALGERIA.

Paris, Oct. 17-The imminence of a
formidable native rising in Morocco
and Algeria is growing. The French
military authorities in Algeria are in
state of apprehension. The COM
mander of the troops in the district of

OF war saying that the preparations
among the Moors for holy war are
proceeding energetically Mouly Abou,
cousin of the sultan of Morocco, has
visited all the tribes and has induced
them to cease their internal quarrels
and prepare to take the field in the
middle of November. A point for con-
centration has been chosen on the
Wady CHR, where arms are being COL
lected. The Beniguil tribe has been
approached by emissaries from the in
surgents at Tafilett, who are urging
the former to join in the movement.
No achievements of troops will be
dispatched from France to Algeria for
the present The measures to be taken
Will be confined to concentration of
military forces on the Moroccan from

ANOTHER TRUE BILL POSSIBLE.
FOR THE MURDER OF STAN.
FORD WHITE.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY 50 lH1IuATEs
HINTS THAW WAS GIVEN REvoL
YER AND URGED TO COM
NIT CRIME.

New York, Oct. 17.-That another
person may be indicted with Harry K.
Thaw for the murder of Stanford
White was intimated by District At
torney Jerome during the day. Mr..
Jerome indicated that such an indict-
ment might be found during an argu-
ment before Recorder Golf as to the
right of the district attorney to issue
further grand jury subpoenaes in the
case.
The attorneys for Harry Thaw have
sought to prevent the examination of
witnesses in the case by the district
attorney through the use of grand jury
subpoenaes in John Doe proceedings,
alleging that such examination was
illegal after Thaw had been, indicted.
When the matter came up before
Recorder Golf Mr.. Jerome said:
There is no fiction in this case. I
am not sure that there is not another
that could be coupled with Harry K.
Thaw for an indictment for murder in
the first degree. It does not appear
where Thaw got the revolver with
which he killed White 1t does not
appear that words were not spoken
that urged him on. It does not ap.
pear that the grand jury Is not in
vestigating for the purpose of finding
superceding indictment against 9th
ers."
No decision was made by the re-
corder.

that the time occupied in preparing

cially in view of the fact that the
work has been vigorously prosecuted
In the meanwhile, there is any ground
for imputing any delay whatever to
the managers of the canal construc-
ton.

A colony of wasps made a nest in the
dark room of a studio last summer. At
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company, but for GER
tain reasons he did not modest them.
He paid no attention to the little buz-
1ers, and they came and went at their
own sweet Will. After time he began
to study them and soon came to the
conclusion that they We're gradually
becoming acquainted with him, his
ways and his dark room. One day a
stranger was seated on the window sill.
The first wasp catering the room paid
no attention to him, but made for the
old crack in the wall. Then out came
a big fat fellow who darted through
the open window like a bullet. Within
five minutes half a dozen wasps came
with rush at the stranger and two

Raters, sailabout. and Larks.

What is rater, a sailabout, a lark,
Is a question commonly heard among
those not familiar with yachts and
technical racing terms. A rater Is
thirty eight feet long and carries the
double sails-sloop rig and jib The
half: rater is thirtytwo feet long, car
rtes the same style sails as the rater
and usually gets five minute handi-
cap in rater races. The sailabout car
ries single large sail and is built on
graceful lines, with rounded sides and
ends, while the lark has square sides
and ends and carries the single sail.
Few larks are built now. Most of the
yachts recently built have the double
centerboard. The centerboard pre-
vents drifting sidewise, and the single
board Is often entirely out Of water
during heavy winds; hence the use Of
the double board.

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Ohio Law Providing Pensions for the
Blind.

Columbus, O., Oct. 17.-By a de-
cision of the supreme court the blind
pension law, passed in 1894, is wiped
from the statute books.
The decision was given in the case
OF ]. T. Davies, auditor of Lucas coun-
ty, VS.. John l.. Boyle The latter is a
blind man coming within the scope of
the act. The auditor, believing that
the act was unconstitutional, refused
to issue to Boyle a warrant for his
quarterly pension of $25. Mandamus
proceedings were brought against
Davies. The courts of Lucas county
hold in favor of the blind pensioner,
sustaining the act. The supreme court
now reverses the judgment of the
circuit court. The law provides that
worthy blind residents" should be
paid $25 each quarter out of the treas
ury of the county of which they were
legal residents. The court sustains
the contention that the act is in con-
travention of the state constitution.

JURY HEARS ARGUMENT
CASE AGAINST STANDARD OIL
COMPANY OF OHIO NEARING
COMPLETION.
DEFENSE OFFERS LITTLE EVIDENCE
SUBMITS VERDICT OF SUPREME
COURT IN FORMER CASE IN
THAT STATE.

Findlay, O., Oct. 17-Both the state
and the defense in the trial of the
Standard Oil company of Ohio for al
legged conspiracy against trade rested
their case within the first hour of the
trial and argument, which took the
balance of the day, was begun.
1t had been the plan of the defense
to submit evidence to the jury through
out the day, but this was changed and
the only evidence they adduced was
certified copy of the journal of the
supreme court of the state showing
that verdict of not guilty had been
rendered in the case against the COM
pany for contempt in not dissolving
the trust.
The prosecution opened the day
with the testimony Of State Oil In
spector Finley, who said that the
Standard Oil company of Ohio paid
the inspection fees for the Cleveland
refinery and SO per cent of the inspec-
ton fees for the Solar Refining COM
pany of Ohio. The latter, he said, re-
fined so per cent Of all the oil refined
in the state. T.
That the Standard had a distribut-
ing station in Findlay, and that it's
only competitor in the sale of refined
oil here was the National, an indie
pendent company, was brought out by
the testimony of Local Oil Inspector
Shaffer, who was recalled to the stand
by the prosecution.
When the court adjourned for lunch
con Prosecutor David had nearly COM
pleted his argument of the case to the
jury.
