Give Billy MuIdoon a Medal. I

(F'rom the Milwaukee Free Press.)
AS a conditioner of rundown states
men, Billy Muldoon is proving himself
one of the props Of the Republic. But
tor the ministrations of our Secretary
of State, the admiration of two con-
tinents, the pacifier of South American
governments and soother of restless
Japan, would be incapacitated, and the
helm of our ship Of state would have
to be committed to less competent
hands. In truth, one hardly knows
which more to admire, the GONZALES
cent secretary briskly Jogging round
the cinder track and building up on
beefsteak afterwards, or his impera-
tive trainer, unabashed by the emin-
ence of his client, setting the ardous
pace, weaving him from slothfulness
and inglorious ease, to turn him out
after period of diet, rest and sleep in
the pink of condition and hard as nails.

 MOVING BACK French Successful in Their 0nslaughts Against
 the Rebellious
 Tribes. CASABLANCA CALM
 AFTER ASSAULTS Late Dispatches From Ruin ed Fortress Picture Scenes of Great
 Distress.

Tangier, Aug. 11.--Fierce fighting between fanatic tribesmen and the French forces outside caaablanca was still in progress saturdav when the French transport Aanatciic left the beleaguered town.
 The battle started Thursday with a determined attack by the Moors. Aft CT hard struggle the tribesmen were driven back with great loss by the de- lending forces, commanded by Gen. eral Drude of the Algerian tirailleurs. Undismayed, the Moors continued to fight, despite terrible havoc wrought in their ranks by the French artillery.
 The latest reports say, however, that the trabesmen are gradually be- ing driven back. the French cavalry and artillery Saturday being seven and one-half miles from the city and alter nately shelling and charging the sav- age fanatics.
 Casablanoa itself is quiet The de- struction wroght by the shells of the French cruisers is more extensive than at first was thought to be the case. Not a house, shop of warehouse is left undamaged. The streets are still en- cumbered with bodies of dead natives,

AMERICANS FEEL DOUBTFUL
IN THE KEEL RACES
German Competitors Have Been Built for Baltic
 Weather.

Kiel, Aug. l1.-The American yachts men, who tomorrow will sail their bUa4s in the first of tha ra,es for the scnder class are dulte doubtful of win hing. as the conditions hereare so dis- fern- from those under Whith their three boats were selected. The Chewink VIII, the Marblehead and the Spokane I. were built for light airs, and with a low freeboard. In the qualifying races the breeze was not more than ten miles an hour, while here, during the fifteen days of practice. the velocity of the wind on only two days has been less than fifteen miles Often it has been fifteen and twenty, an1 puffy.
 The German boats were built for Baltic conditions. They have higher freeboard and are longer, being 37 feet over all. against 34 and S5 feet for the Americans The latter, owing to their build take a good deal more water than their German competitions. From what the Americans have seen of their work during the last fortnight, the Germans know how to get the best results out of their boats under home conditions.
 Prince Henry of Prussia sailed the Spokane to-day for couple of hours, and her American crew. composed of J. Lewis StackDole and E, A and R. D. Boardman admired the manner in which he handled her. He took the squally puffs easily and got as much ont of her as those who sail her every day thought they could have done.

 FOREIGN TRADE Oil Trusts Policy Toward U. s. Consumers in Selling Products
 Abroad. DETERMINATIONS
 IN THIS COUNTRY Seven Mills a Gallon Would Afford the Company a
 Ten Per Cent.
 Profit.

Washington, Aug. 11.-'In the busi- ness of selling petroleum products in foreign countries the price policy of the Standard oil company has appar- entity been to sacrifice the interests of the American consumer for the purpose of securing the Standards foreign bus mess"
 This direct charge is made in an offic- ial report to President Roosevelt by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corpora tions, in submitting to him fur ther results of the investigation of the operations of the Standard oil company by the Bureau of Corporations.
 Part three of the report, dealing with determinations in prices, was made public to-day by Commissioner Smith, It consists of a detailed summary of the work of the investigators and a let ter of transmittal of the report to the president
 Commissioner Smith asserts that the Standard, enjoying practically an abso- lute monopoly of the oil trade in this country, has charged such prices as 1t could thereby extort," and the Ameri- can consumer has had to pay these prices. Meeting competition abroad, it has given the foreign consumer enorm- ously lower prices, and 1t has used the profits made at home to maintain its position abroad, so that the American consumer has been severely discrimin- ated against for the purpose of main- taining, not the dominance of American export trade, but the dominance of a particular combination which has used it's power frequently and conspicuously to the disadvantage of the American public'
 Extraordinary statements are con- tained in the report respecting the varying prices of oil In this country. It is pointed out that as the Standard does business directly with the retail dealers, 1t is in position to make differ

DARWINIsM IS DEAD
Declaration of Prof. James Orr at
 NorthfleId Conference.

NUELu0eAu OOnNNEenCes
 Northfield, Mass, Aug II. = To an audience larger than any that has gathered in connection with the gen. eral conferences since its founder, Dwight L. Moody, died, Prof. James Orr of the University of Glasgow, one of the leading theological scholars of Great Britain, preached to-day. De- claring that Darwinism was practical ly dead, he added that the leading scientific scholars abroad were form ing new theory of evolution and that this theory was in perfect accord with the great fundamental truths of the Bible. He said that the theories of evolution, which had caused so much comment and unrest among Biblical scholars would eventually evolve into one theory which would be found to be sound Biblical doctrine. The age of criticism, he said, was rapidly changing and the Bible, sin and sal- vation would be the only things to sur- vile this revolution unchanged.
