STRIKE
GOES ON
BOTH SIDES SEEM HOPE
FOR VICTORY.
UNION IN NEW YORK CITY DE.
cIDES TO ISSUE A DAILY
PAPER.

New York, Aug. 19.-As though by
mutual consent the parties to the
strike of the telegraphers took things
easier Sunday and the usual claims
and counter claims of the days devel-
opments were not made public.
The local union has decided 70 be-
gin at once the publication of daily
paper which would set forth the
strikers side of the controversy.
1t is said the special leased wire
service was materially improved
throughout the country Sunday.
One Wall street brokerage firm re-
fused the demands asked by its eight
operators, and when the latter quit
Immediately filled their places with
nonunion men. The telegraph com
panies reiterated that they were doing
business without serious incon-
venience. The strikers for their part
still insisted the situation was salts
factory.
The early arrival of President Small
and the consequent shifting from
Chicago to this city of executive direc.
ton of the strike is awaited expec-
family by the telegraphers of the east.
Just when Small will reach here the
union men could not say. They had
received no word from him, but ex-
pected he will be here within a few
days and they hope President Small
will be able to bring about a better
situation from the strikers standpoint.
Unbounded enthusiasm was created
at the meeting Of the operators at
Portland, Oregon, Sunday by a letter
written by Daniel McAllen Offering
his services to the strikers in their
effort to effect a settlement Of the
strike as soon as possible along the
demands made by the union The
latter met with a warm reception
on the part of the operators, and it
was decided to invite Mr.. McAllen
TO take charge of all local arrange
ments. for the assistance and support
of the striking operators. In answer
to his letter President Branin and Sec
rotary Morgan of the union were in
structed to prepare a letter to Mr.. Nc
Allen outlining to him the stand of the
operators and their grievances.

Moors Attack
French Troops

Casa Blanca, Aug. 21.-A large force
OF Moors descended upon the French
camp and were repulsed after sharp
conflict. The tribesmen advanced
within 800 yards of the city.
Fifty Algerian horsemen who were
sent against them were permitted to
advance within half a mile when the
Moors wildly charged, wounding sever
al Algerian and French officer COM
handing them, and severing one Alger
1an's head. The French officer rallied
his men and retired slowly until rein
forced, when the Moors recoiled.
Fighting eventually covered front

The French used machine guns with
deadly effect. The cruiser Gloire also
shelled the enemy.
When groups of Moors were first dis
covered, the French sharpshooters and
cavalry were sent out in front, followed
by Algerian horsemen. The engage
ment became general after q steady

Our farms produce more thar

mines yield more than $1,500,O00, 00C
and our forests more than $1,000, 900,

wealth has been exhausted. The out

operation. The payroll of our factories
and railways aggregate approximately
So, 1000, 900 and the scales of wages
have not been reduced.
I'm other words, the real sources OF
the peoples wealth have not yet been
affected and the ability of Industrial
concerns to pay dividends is not
measured by the market price of their
stock.
Logical reasons for serious condi.
lions are never wanting. If
Judge correctly the people will have
exactly what they expect. If those
who have money in the banks with
draw it and lock it up, if the banks
refuse to grant accommodations, and
if the consuming public decline to
place orders then we will very soon
witness the effects.
Let those who think that times of
disaster follow each other at regular
intervals bear in mind that this coun-
try never yet experienced a period of
depression that was not traceable to
financial or economic agitation or leg
islatiOn, and usually to both. In 1898

Gated by the party in power which
was under promise to remove the pro-

the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l was championed by promi-
nent members of both parties The
country might have survived any one
of these sources of alarm but it could
not survive all three.
AT this time no one questions our
financial system, and the tariff will
not be touched for at least IS months.
Some check in the speed at which we
are going is most desirable, and the
checking process has probably begun.
1t will require a fair measure of conf
dence and courage to prevent undue
retardment in our industries. Capital
