Zinnisf Conference

The Hague, Aug. l9. Stormy debates
are expected to mark the eighth confer
eDce of Zionists which begins here
tomorrow, lasting until August 20. Many
of the delegates have come here with
rigid instructions from their home So
cieties to criticize The policy of the az
ecu,ive committee, holding that the
Zionist movement has made to little pro-
gress since the death Its founder, The
odore Herzl. The fact that there has
been Little percepiibe sdvsnce toward
the colonization of Palestine and that
there has been no striking numerical in
crosse among the Zionists will form the
basis of this criticism. Ia all about 800
delegates will be present when the Con-
ference opens. Today the blue and white
isg of the Jews wave over the hotels
where delegates are stopping and over
The hall where they will meet.

More Fighting in Morocco.

Tangier, Aug. l3--News is just re-
ceived here of terrific battle between
the Moors and French at Cssablanca 10
which 5, 600 MOOrs, after bold charge,
were repulsed with heavy loss of life.
The attack was carefully planned,
but was made possible only through the
fesrless character OF the soldiers. The
charge was first made by the Moors In
regularly drawn fighting lines, but the
French, holding the position of vantage,
drove them back.
The Moors quickly reformed their
lines and charged back over the dead
bodies OF their comrades.
A French bsItleship began to CO.
operate with the French troops, sending
a terribly effective rain OF shells into the
Moorish forces.
The attacking forces we're cut down
BY the guns of the French soldiers and
blown to pieces by the shells of the
ship.
Still, the lesdesrs urged the charge
and with logged Indifference to death
the men continued until they we're
simply driven back by the very force
of the firing.
Even after being decimated by the
whitening fire of the French the Moors
recognized their struggled lines aud
with a persistence that seemed bordering
upon insanity tried again to make the
charge.
Again the steady rife fire of the SOL
diers and the death.dealing shells from
the cruiser drove them back. The last
charge was over the same ground as the
previous ones and the Moois seemed will
ing to follow their leaders into the very
mouths of the guns.
Repulsed again they refreshed, having
sustained loss that is estimated at be-
ing extremely heavy though no actual
figures could be obtained
The French losses were small.
General Drude, the French Comman.
der, today asked for Is, 900 reinforcements
as he desires to begiu offensive opera
tons and drive the Moors back into the
country.
Tangier, Aug. 9.-Mszsgan is being
attacked today by Moors, according to
advices just received here. A demand
was made on the authorities on Sunday
for money under threat that the town be
RACED. This demand was refused and
the attack today is regarded as the
Moors' answer to the refusal,
It is feared the scene enacted at Casa
blanca during the looting of the city will
be repeated. The outlook at Mazsgan is
even darker, however, because there are
no soldiers there to defend the town.
WarShips and transports carrying troops
are being hurried there.
The situation at Casablaucs today is
also more threatening. The constant at
tacks Of the Moors on outposts are grad
ually wearing out the French and
Spanish soldiers. Moors surround the
town in such overwhelming number that
fresh men are available for each new
charge.

TUESDAY EVENING. AUG. 10, 1907.

Ar THE Nea York CONTROLLERS office
Yesterday $1,000 600 of city bonds
were offered for sale to the highest bid
der. OOly S2,7l3. 405 worth OF bonds
we're sold. For the second time 10 six
weeks the sale of bonds proved failure.
They are 4 per cent. gold bonds, but
even as such failed to attract investors.
The premiums offered yesterday could
hardly be dignifed by that term, and in
fact the bids averaged only the barest
faction above par. Many of the regu-
lar bond-buying houses submitted no
bid, at sill. Boston also has tried re-
Gently to sell per cent. bonds without
success. The city offered about four
millions of them and there were bids for
only $2OO,O 900. The law forbidS their
sale below par and the rate of interest
will have to be raised. Money is CON-
handing higher prices than it did few
years ago. All of this ia interesting to
Alexandria, whose bonded debt Of nearly
$500, 900, end which bears 1865 per
cent. interest, will fall due in July, 1909.

The STOCK MARKET has been Oh the
decline during the past two weeks.
Sixty railroad stocks which averaged
$l15.95 year ago declined last week
from $93. &c to $50. 90, and ten indus
trials which were $94 OF year ago dc.
clined during the week from $3.50
to 1896. There is strong disposition
to connect this with the fine imuOsed
upon the Standard Oil Company and
legislation and litigation unftvorable 10
corporations. One New York paper
computes loss of 81 share, averaged
on twenty railroad stocks and So on
twelve industrials, since Judge Lands
imposed bis monumental fine. Some
say the Standard is so N anipulatine
stocks as TO get back the $29, 900, 600
fine imposed by Judge Lands.

STRIKEIN WASHINGTON.

Regarding The strike in Washington
in the building trades Secretary E. X.
Hall, of the Employers Association, last
night stated that be was getting more
applications for work than be and his
assistants could attend to. He said the
association had made no attempt IS yet
to secure nonunion bricklsyers and car
penters and did not intend TO do 30 until
today, when the Time limit placed by
the employers upon the striking brick
layers and carpenters TO return to their
work will expire. 1t is not expected
that the bricklayers or carpenters will
return, and tins will force the employers
10 secure men from out of town.
About 100 have stopped work since
the strike was inaugurated.
The Central Labor Union held meet
ing last night, but took no action in re-
gard to the proposed sympathetic strike
