SURRENDERS ARMS

Paris, Aug. S.-A special dispatch from Tangier this afternoon says that the Moorish troops composing the gar rison of Casablanca have been dis armed, and that their guns and ammu- nition have been deposited at the French consulate. The Moorish oT- cials have confided the protection of the city to the Franco-Spanish forces.
 The French cruisers Galilee and Du Chayla continue to fire on and dis perse the Moorish horsemen who ap- proach the city.
 The note communicated by the French government to the signatories of the Algeciras convention in sub stance affirms the resolution of France to maintain and safeguard the author ity of the sultan of Morocco and the independence and integrity of his em- pire, and announces that he security of the inhabitants and freedom ol commerce at Casablanca will be guar anteed, and that the authors of the recent massacre will be punished.
 It also provides that police force for Casablanca and it's vicinity will be organized in concert with Spain and adds that any further measure: necessitated by the situation will bt communicated to the powers.
 The semi-official Temps says Prince Radolini, the German ambassador, has expressed to Foreign Minister Pichor the absolute assent of Germany to the measures necessitated by the anti-for- eign agitation in Morocco.

MISSISSIPPI FIGHT
 WILL WAX WARM State Executive Committee Today Will Canvass the Vote of Recent Primaries and Hot Time Expected
FRAUD ALLEGATIONS
Out of the Burning of Ballots in a Vardaman County Williams Claims 1000 Majority Scott Is Mad.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 8.-The Democratic State Executive Commit. tee will meet here today at noon for the purpose of canvassing the returns and declaring the results of the recent primary hold in this state for United States senator and other state offices. So close is the race in the senatorial contest that interest is at fever heat, and all sorts of conjectures are made as to what to- morrow will bring forth. The com mittee will meet in the senate cham Der at 12 o'clock, and representa- tives of both senatorial candidates will be on hand, as we'll as those of the three gubernatorlal candidates who received the highest vote. Noel is apparently in the lead with Brewer close second, but Charles Scott is not at all satisfied with tl> l result, and has announced that he would demand recount of the vote, believing that it will show that he is entitled to more votes than he IS given in the tabulated returns.
 Rumors of Fraud Unfounded.
 For the past day or so there have been all Sorts of rumors of destroy ed ballots and lost ballot boxes. but when traced down these reports have been found to be all imaginery. It was said that lot of the ballot boxes in Copish, county that gave Vardaman majority of 251, had been burned, but the secretary of the County Executive Committee tonight certified that this was not so and that every precinct had been re- counted and that every ballot was safe in the hands of the proper of- ficials.
 Chairman Lomax of the state committee has been here for two days, and the other members of the committee will arrive tonight.
 Prediction of Trouble.
 The meeting tomorrow will be sensational one, there being some prediction that trouble would arise in the event any compromise meas ures Were resorted to. Both candi- dates are claiming that canvass of the vote will show their election, Vardaman by bare majority, while Williams friends claim it by at least 1000.
 MT. Williams arrived in the city today, but would make no statement other than that he was elected. Congressman B. J. Bowers of the seashore district is also here in MT. Williams interest, as is also sever al of his friends in North Mississip- pi, where Vardaman received some of his largest majorities, and it is said that they have some startling evidence in their possession con- corning the Vardaman vote in that section, which will be produced in the event the governor demands recount. The Vardaman men also claim irregularities, and the indica- tions are that tomorrow meeting will be warm assembly.

Board of Trade Representa-
 tives Who Attended the Session of Arkansas Rail. road Commission Return
SAY REPORTS UNTRUE
Made Application for Flat Rate on Cot. ton Shipments-CommissiOn Must Deal Fairly in Face of Facts Pre-. scented by Pine Bluffians.

P. F. Byrd, E. c. Howell and Secretary J. l.. Caldwell, the com mittee appointed by the Board of Trade to attend the meeting of the Railroad Commission returned yes- terday afternoon. They report that the principal subject before the Commission was the proposal to es- tablish mileage rates on uncom- pressed cotton between all points in this state. This same subject was considered by the Commission last December at the request of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, after the Iron Mountain had instructed it's agents to sign for no cotton for concentra- tion at Pine Bluff. The effect Of this order was to divert cotton from Pine Bluff to McGehee and over the new road to Memphis and St. Louis. As the result of the efforts of the Board of Trade the order was re- scinded and Pine Bluff received prop CT treatment.
 The application for a flat rate was raised again yesterday by oth- CT parties Pine Bluff being vitally interested, the Board sent a com mittee to protect her interests. and they report that they have no fears as to the ultimate result. Of course no one can foretell what the final conclusion of the Commission may be, but facts were brought out and principals maintained yesterday which will make it impossible for the Commission to do other than come to a legal and just decsion.
 The discussion was participated in by many of the leading cotton and commercial lights of the State, and was almost as interesting as a political potpouri Little Rock is beginning to see a great light. Pine Bluff saw it any moons ago. The present method of shipping cotton is slowly but surely destroying the cotton factor, the small grower and merchant, and allowing the cotton of the state to be controlled by one or two large foreign firms. Pine Bluff, contends for rate which will be fair to the railroads, open to all, preventative of monoply, rebates or any device by which any free American citizen shall be prevented from marketing his cotton where ever his own sweet will leads him. As matters now stand the railroads have it in their power to make or unmake individuals, firms and even cities. It is a significant fact that the petition from Little Rock in favor of maintaining the concen- traton rate was signed by only two cotton firms, two banks and one large firm, notwithstanding the earnest effort to get up a large pe- tition. The petitions from other towns in the State were gotten up by one of the above cotton firms The surface indications as indicated by publications in the Little ROCK papers are far from refecting the true situation. The cotton people ol

upon It or because it has been too

suffered because enough care has not

PROMOTION in ARMY.
Above the Rank Of Major 1t Should Be
by Selection, < e 5-s%>

E " o~a~SsASkAs
Among the officers there should be
severe examina tons to weed out the
unfit up to the grade of major. From
that position on appointments should
be solely by selection. and it should be
understood that a man of merely aver
age capacity could never get beyond
the position of major, while every man
who serves in any grade a certain
length OF time prior to promotion to
the next grade without getting the pro-
motion to the next grade should be
forthwith retired. The practice marches
and field maneuvers of the last two or
three years have been invaluable to the
army. They should be continued and
extended. A rigid and not a perfume
tory examiRat ton of physical capacity
has been provided for the higher grade
officers. This will work well. Unless
an officer has a good physique, unless
he can stand hardship, ride we'll and
walk fairly, he is not at for any posi-
ton even after he has become colo
mel. Before he has become a colonel

In small fiat space is limited, and
soiled clothes require attending to, as
they are always In the way. 1t is bet
ter not to keep them in the bedrooms
In linen bags or in the tubs, as there is
always an odor from soiled linen which
is not healthful.
The best thing to do is to make a
clothes box. This box may be built un-
der the kitchen window. lined with
zinc or tin and washed out with scald-
ing water every week. 1t Is In this
way kept sweet and clean.
If the tin lining cannot be had, heavy
manila paper will answer the purpose.
This should be removed every two or
three weeks, the box washed and left
open to air for day and night. Gov
er the box with light colored chintz
or oilcloth, and there is a comfortable
and convenient seat.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

The washing of comfortables so they
will look well Is often very trying to
the busy housekeeper. Generally only
the ends are soiled. If made at home, a
piece of the covering about twelve
inches wide may be lightly tackled on
the ends and removed for laundering
when solled. When washing choose u
fair day with good breeze blowing.
Make a lukewarm suds with almost
any of the white laundry soaps and
put the quilt in. Rub the soiled places
lightly between the hands and when
clean rinse through several waters. If
put through until the water looks per-
fectly clear, there will be no danger
of streaks, which so often come when
the water settles and spoil the looks
Of the quilt. A little salt put in the
water will set the colors. Hang In a
sunny place where the wind will reach
it, and 1t will look like new when dry.
Have one long cake tin divided in the
middle. When making cake, put half
the quantity in one end of the tin. Add
to the remainder spices, raisins, etc., to
taste and put into the other end of tin.
This saves time in making and baking.
The result will be two kinds of cake.
A useful scrap bag is made from
three yard lengths Of percale stitched
together on three sides with a curtain
stick stitched into the top. A slit eight
inches long in each outside piece makes
an opening large enough to hold the
scraps, and the inner piece of goods
separates light from dark pieces.
Large brass rings or heavy tape is
best to hang 1t by.

A Yorkshire engineer acted in AZ
ghanistan for many years as director
of the arsenal to Abdur Rahman. On
one occasion the engineer was fired at
by some fanatic In bazaar and laid
a complaint before the ameer. His
highness seemed to make light of the
matter, observing: II should not both
er about It, You will find 1t will be all
right" The engineer was by no means
satisfied but, remembering the people
with whom he was, resolved to say no
more. A week or SO later he was in
vited to accompany the ameer on
ride. When outside the town they
passed gibbet after gibbet, each occu-
pied. The Englishman at length broke
silence by suggesting. "Your highness
seems to have been busy of late" The
reply was characteristics: "Oh, no. That
is your little lot" 1t was afterward
learned that the ameer had executed
