No Change in Situation.

Tangier, Aug 10.--A wireless dis patch from Casablanca, received during the night, reported that the situation there was practically the same as on August &. General Drude, commander of the French ex- peditionary forces, continues to maintain his camp outside the city. The cruiser Duchayla has gone to Mogador.
 The French consular agent at Alcazar and the French residents of that place have fled to Fl Araish.
 Passengers of Spanish steamer which has just arrived here say that the native quarter of Casablanca re- sembles a city of the dead. The buildings which have not been burned have gaping holes in their walls made by the shells of the war ships. The streets are filtered with debris.
 The French wounded have been taken on board the gunboat Cassini, which Is on her way to Tangier.
 A steamer loaded with provisions and troops sailed from here for Casa blanca to-day. The French armored cruiser Jeanne D'Arc remains at the port to reassure the Europeans. In obedience to director orders from Paris the French warships arriving here continue to salute the Moorish flag in order to show that France is not at war with Morocco.
 Another battalion of the Foreign Legion has been ordered to prepare for shipment to Morocco.

COAL WAS POOR
Rear Admiral Evans Says Con. neciicut Would Make Beiter
 Time With Good Fuel.

New York. Aug 10.-The battleship Connecticut, built by the government at the New York navy yard, steamed though the Narrows to-day, bringing records of her speed tests off the Maine coast and on her run to this port The Connecticut anchored off Tompkins- vile, Staten Island, where she will load with ammunition The battle ship was given comparative test with her sister ship, the Louisiana, which was built by private contract aS Newport News, and her perform ance is regarded as highly satisfac- tory.
 Rear Admiral Evans, who was aboard the Connecticut and under whose personal directions the tests were made, said that the speed shown by the Connecticut in her four hours trial during the run home, was ex- tremely satisfactory.
 T have witnessed many speed tests" said Admiral Evans, but Go not recall trial that has pleased tie more than the four hour run of the Connecticut on the home run. The battleship did all that was expected of her and more, and think the average speed of 1S.S73 knots for the four four hours would have been excelled had the quality of the coal been su- perior. The Connecticut demonstrated that Sha has a consistent saa snaad of eighteen knots. Her engines ran smoothly and the Connecticut slipped through the sea at full speed without vibration.'
 Admiral Evans said that the Con- necticut. in one burst of speed, ran at the rate of 1901 knots for one quar- ter of an hour The machinery showed no tendency to heat during the run, ac- cording to the battleship engineers.

 A big car, driven by Louis Strang, swerved near the grandstand, while running at speed of over a mile a minute, and crashed into heavy fence behind which many spectators were standing. The automobile ploughed its way through the fence and was not halted until it had knocked seven men down and left them crushed and bleeding. John Wallalove, a chauffeur, who was watching the contest, suffered a broken leg and was internally injur- ed. The six other victims of the car received broken limbs and body bruises, Louis Strang, the driver, es- capped injury.

ROW IN CAMP.
Faithful G.. O. P. Men Do Not Like
 Distribution of Plums.

It transpired today that Coroner Eli Mix's choice for a deputy in Water bury and surrounding towns, Attorney Walter D. Makepeace. is not n voter here. The new list of applicants ito be made" this fall does not contain his name Still he has until about the mid dle of September to see about this.
 There seems to be the very deuce among some of the lawyers over this appointment They are asking each other what is the use of being a party man if stranger just come to town, as 1t were, is given preference to them. Yet there is nothing strange in this after all. Such action appears to be characteristic of the republicans. Dur ing Mayor Elton's administration, q certain foreman brought two of his friends in from Watertown and put their names on the city payrolls, while scores of men better entitled to such work had to look on.
 And, as usual, again. there are re- publicans who would rather pile fur ther honors on Mr Makepeace. They Nbuiu AVA NAAs clerk. needless of the prior claims Attorney Joseph H. Reid has on the party's consideration Last fall Att torney Reid bore the brunt of the cam palgn in the sixteenth senatorial dis trict, when he should have known he had no more show of being elected than a democrat would have in the fifteenth district Nevertheless, Mr Reid went to considerable expense. and now in their characteristic way, his fellow republicans would ignore him. and they will if they can.
 There is no smooth sailing in the re- publican party this season. From the highest to the lowest office in the par ty. there is trouble. disorder aud tu- mutt. and the leaders are under tls impression that few pink teas and clambakes will smooth things over
 The nomination of John l.. Sewell for mayor will be the climax.

WOMAN CONVICTED
First Time fin Years That a Con victi0n Was Had in a Sui
 eide Case.

New York, Aug. 10.-For the first time in many years young woman who went to trial on charge of hav- ing attempted suicide has been con- victed in court here. An attempt at suicide is felony, punishable by imprisonment in state prison for not more than two years, or by fine of not more than $1,000 or both, but as rule the unfortunates, after ar rest and meditation are given their freedom.
 Rosina Goldner is the young wo- man and her conviction is the cul- mination of a long series of misfor- tunes. Some years ago she was hurt by ceiling falling on her; then she lost all of her savings in an unsuc- cessful business venture; again she was found overcome by gas, and it was believed then she had tried to kill herself. She fell from street car, and pin which was forced into her arm caused blood poisoning. Three times she was patient in Bellevue hospital, having attempted suicide, the last occasion being in Central park, where she drank laud- anum.

Strike Breakers Arrive.

Chicago, Aug 1O.-The breach be- tween the commercial telegraphers out on strike and the telegraph compan- les wldened to-day when the Western Union company imported it's first load of strike-breakers to man the silent keys. There were 30 of them, froln New York. The arrangemets for the housing and feeding of the men has been kept secret, but 1t is believed that they will be kept on the plant of the company to prevent the posslbil- ity of their meeting with any violence at the hands of strike sympathizers. The union men said that the operators imported could not do the company much good when men are striking all over. the country.

NEW YORK MAY HELP
Telegraph Opeators 10 the Num- I Der of 5000 May Strike in
 Sympathy With Chicago.

New York, Aug 10.-A strike of the 5000 telegraph operators in New York in sympathy with the Chicago strike Is to be considered at meet ing called for tomorrow. President Ahearn of the local union said early to-day:
 4.The union has done all in its power to prevent a strike, but the company has not acted fairly. l think the strike will become general throughout the country, including New York"
 Officials of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies, who yesterday expressed the belief that the strike in Chicago would be local, said to-day that preparations were being made to handle the business in case the men walked out Minor officials and clerks of both companies who have not worked at the keys for years will be called upon to man the wires, while non-union men who re- main at work will be given oppor- tunities of working double time. When strike was threatened sev- eral weeks ago the Western Union purchased scores of cots to take care of the strike breakers in the main office of the company if necessary. The company officers believe that they will effectually break the strike should be 1t called within a short time. They claim that the union does not control over 50 per cent of the telegraphers here and that the treasury of the union is empty. President Ahearn denied to-day that the local union was without funds and said that the telegraphers were in position to finance a long strike.

WATERBURY SCORES FIRST.
Double Header on at the State
 League Grounds.

The tail-end New London team, jubilant over taking a game yester- day from the much touted Hartford aggregation, is at State league park this afternoon in double header with Mike" McAndrew's bang up combination. Although the other teams in the bush organization are all eager to play the Whalers double headers, the cellar champions are winning a game now and then. "Huckleberry" Finn says it is de- light to win game every few weeks just to let Sam Kennedy, What" Mclaughlin, Pop" Rising. Joe" .0'Rourke and "Syrus" Curtiss know that there are few stars still on Charlie Humphreys payroll.
 Strange to say New London is the leader to date of the league ip run getting this week and if they score as many as the home team to-day will have a good chance of coming out on top.
 Well, we'll, well, for the first four innings at least it is a pretty good game. Waterbury is one to the good, but New London is travelling right along in the band wagon.
 As Rogers had all kinds of signs on the Whalers last Sunday, he was sent in for the first game. Reiger. the "amachoor" wonder, was on the slab for the visitors.
 Waterman first up in the first in- ming made the first out when he flew out to Ward and McCabe, Parker Treats side partner died like a dog going out o'Rourke to Lachance. But Huckleberry Mike was there with the big stick and sent a scream CT to the left field fence for a two bagger. Barbour ended the inning by going out to first.
 Bastian opened up with a two sacker for Waterbury and "Fitz" singled. Bastian being held at third. On a fake throw Bastian was caught of third and as the succeeding bats men did nothing Fitzpatrick was left.
 Neither side scored in the next two innings. but Waterbury sent man across the rubber in the third. Bas- tian walked. was sacrificed to sec ond by "Fitz" and came home on Swander's ripsnorter past second.
 New London was blanked in the third and fourth. Looks good for couple of big ones for Waterbury this afternoon.
