EXPLORING SHIP IS LOST
Question Is Whether Arctic Exp1ora-
ton Has Engulfed Another Par
tY of Brave Men.

Christiania, Sept 6.-Captain Roald
Amundsen was interviewed here in
regard to the alarming news that the
steamer Duchess of Bedford, upon
which the Anglo-American Arctic ex-
ploration expedition under Captain
Elmar Mikkelsen was making its way
into the north, had been lost. Cap
tain Amundsen said he believed the
members Of the expedition were alive.
He thinks that in all likelihood they
had sufficient time to save themselves
and place their stores on the ice before
their vessel sank.
The Anglo-American Arctic explora-
ton expedition sailed from Victoria,
3. c., in May, 1906, on board the
Duchess of Bedford to seek a large
stretch Of land believed TO exist in the
Beaufort sea. 1t numbers fifteen per-
sons, all told. including Ernest Lef-
lngwell, a Chicago geologist.

MOORS PUT FLIGHT
Allied Franco-Spanish Army At
tacks Camp Of the Enemy.
HEAVY FOG COVERS ADVANCE
Defensive Works Destroyed by Fire
Of Artillery and Guns of the
Cruiser Gloire.

Casa Blanca, Sept. 13.-The allied
Franco-Spanish army has made a sud
den and successful nov on Taddert,
where the Moors were massed in
force. The camp of the latter was
destroyed by bo~mbardment and the
enemy was put to flight, leaving many
dead on the field. The French lost
n man killed and six men wounded.
The attack was carefully planned
and vas based largely on the obser-
vations of the Moors' position from
the military balloon. The allied army,
which was divided into two columns,
left the camp at 6 o'clock in the morn
ing, leaving several companies of in
fantry to defend the base at Casa
Blanca. The march was skilfully
carried out under the cover of a fog
until half way to Taddert, when the
fog lifted and disclosed several large
bands of the enemy. The allies then
charged at the point of the bayonet
and although the Moors resisted with
their old time courage they were
finally compelled to retreat in the
face of a superior force and both of
the columns Of allied troops advanced
on Taddert.
After the b~ombardment of that place
by the French artillery as we'll as by
the guns Of the French cruiser Gloire,
which fired seventy-ive shells, the al
lied infantry advanced on the Moorish
camp, where the enemy was making
a last desperate stand. A short en-.
gagement followed and the Moors fed
in wild disorder, pursued for several
miles by the irregular Algerian cav
airy in the French service. The Moor
ish camp was completely destroyed.
The exact loss of the Moors is not
known, as they carried away many of
their dead. The allied army returned
to Casa Blanca.

TAX CLERK ADMITS THEFTs
Says He Gave 100000 of His steaIinqs
to Negress.

New Orleans, Sept. 14.-The amount
of State Tax Clerk Charles E. Letten's
d~efalcation has been fixed at $118,-
900. The examination of his books is
not yet completed, but the experts
doing this work said they do not ex-
pect to find any larger shortages.
Two desperate attempts at suicide
were made during the day by Vir-
GINA Reed, the negress to whom Let
ten says he gave the greater part of
the stolen money. Dressed in silks
she jumped into Bayou st. John, a
creek in the city, but was pulled out
by a negro boatman after she had be-
come unconscious. She was revived
by being rolled over a barrel. After
regaining consciousness she broke
away from her rescuers, threw herself
fiat in a shallow pool and held her
head under the water until again
dragged out.
Letten went before a grand jury
and confessed to his defalcation. He
also issued a written statement about
the Reed woman in which he said he
gave her 100000 between January,
1903, and the present month. He Of
fered no explanation for this.

FOR THE AMERICAS CUP.
Sir Thomas Upton Has Issued An
other Challenge.

London, Sept. 13.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton will make another attempt in 1908
to regain the Americas cup for Great
Britain. This announcement has been
made by Sir Thomas in London and
by the secretary of the Royal Irish
Yacht club at Dublin. The challenge,
which goes to the New York Yacht
club in the name of the Royal Irish
Yacht club. was mailed from Dublin
Friday.
The details of the challenge were
arranged when Sir Thomas visited
Dublin recently in the course of a
yachting cruise around the British
isles on board the Erin. He told a
friend months ago of his intention to
challenge, but having until the end of
September to take action he deferred
challenging until the eleventh hour.
1t is not known why Sir Thomas
decided to challenge through the Royal
Irish Yacht club instead of the Royal
Ulster Yacht club, which issued the
previous challenges in his behalf, un-
less it is that he thinks that a change
of luck may follow his change Of

TO cuR1AIL PRODUCTION.
Butte Copper Mines Will Lay of Five
1housand Men.

Butte. Mont. Sept. 14.-As the re-
suit Of overproduction Of copper and
a temporary lull in the demand for
the red metal orders have been issued
by which the output of the Amalga-
mated properties will be reduced to
about 40 per cent of the normal pro-
auction, OF from 10000, 900 pounds to
about 10000 pounds per month.
and In the future no work will be
done on Sundays. Curtailing the pro-
duction to 40 per cent Of the normal
will mean a reduction in the working
forces that will throw about 5000 men
out of employment. When the mines
will resume with full forces is prob
lematical.
The Diamond mine will be closed
and work at the Belmont will be COM
pletely suspended. The Gagnon and
Parrot mines also are shut down. John
Gillie, general superintendent Of the
Amalgamated properties, acting under
Managing Director John G. Ryan,
stated that there would be no general
shutdown at the present time.

New Turbiner Lusitania Low
ers Queenstown Record.

New York, Sept. 13.-The giant tur-
biner L%usitania of the Cunard line
came into port on her maiden voyage
with a new record of 5 days and 81
minutes between Queenstown and
New York. The Lusitania failed TO
lower the hourly speed average Of
23.bS knots made by the Kaiser Will
helm II. of the North German Lloyd
line, though she covered the distance
between the ports in an average Of
23.01 knots, which is a record for
maiden voyages. Captain Watt said
that when the time comes for record
making, after her machinery is in
thorough order, the Lusitania will be
the empress of the seas.
The Lusitania's time was 6 hours
and 20 minutes faster than the previ-
Gus record from Queenstown, held by
her sister ship, the Lucania.
The Lusitania, the largest ship
afloat, was given a royal welcome on
her arrival here and it was a contin-
ual ovation from the time she sped
past the Sandy Hook light vessel and
made her way through the Ambrose
channel, the first ocean liner to enter
the new fair way, until she was safely
wharved into her dock. The Lusitania
was W pushed to her top speed
during the entire voyage, according to
her officers. She encountered pleas
ant weather from port to port and
arrived here almost at the hour des.
ignated by the directors of the Cunard
