FRENCH READY FOR ATTACK
Reports that Moors Are Collecting
Forces for Last Attack on
Casablanca.

CAsABLANCA. Morocco, Aus l6-The
town Is quiet today and business Is being
transacted. The French authorities are
still engaged in clearing up the streets,
burying the dead and collecting property.
The commandRnt Is making domiciliary
visits In search OF loot OF which an i'm
mense quantity has been collected. A
meeting OF the foreign consuls will be held
here this afternoon to decide on its dis
posai. It probably will be sold for the
benefit Of the sufferers from the lombard
ment and rioting. The number OF persons
killed I'm and about Casablanca has been
greatly exaggerated. Probably about 1000
men were killed in the fighting and mas
sacre. The majority were Arabs killed by
the fire of the warships. only 5000 people
remain In Casablanca. the rest having
fed to Gibraltar, Tangier or Spain. The
town is now completely under the control
Of the French and Spanish authorities and
no further trouble inside need be feared
French troops to the number OF 1000 are
camped about a mile to the east OF Casa
blanca. Their outposts are in touch with
the Moors and continual sklrmlshing is
taking place. Five hundred Spanish troops
arrived here yesterday and are camped in
the town Fifteen hundred more are ex-
pected shortly and two more French trans
ports with troops are due to arrive here
within a few days. General Drude the
French commander is holding a defensive
position pending the arrival Of reinforce
ments. The Moors have received large re-
Inducements and the French and Spanish
authorities hear that they are planning a
great attack on Casablanca for today or
tomorrow. There are ample troops avail
able to repulse any attack.

CFrom a stan Correspondent }

LINCOLN. Neb-, Aug ls-(Special
Telegram.)-A number Of Improvements
may be made at the Omaha union

the handling of cream sent by express,
as a result Of the complaint OF the express
companies made before the Nebraska Rail
way commission. The case was set for

was postponed until August q TO permit
the directors of the station company to
confer. 1t was tacitiy promised that
changes and improvements would be made
which will result in better service. 1t is
necessary to secure delay fer the directors
to meet. The proposition came from the
attorneys. Messrs. Clapp and Gaines
Arguments were made during the morn
ing In. the cream rate case In which evil
dence has been taken,s Attorney Charles
Clapp for the Pacihc Express company oc-
cupied the morning He defended the pro-
posed increase In rates. declaring that the
transportation of express was more ex-
pensive than freight and yet the roads
were proposing TO charge for cream rate
no higher than for first-class freight. The
express companies make no charge for re-
turning empty cans which is effected at
an expense Of Is cents per car mile for
each empty car. The revenue derived from
shipment Of cream is 1871 cents per ear
mile, which was declared less than the
cost of the service, the profit, of course.

GERMAN WINE GROWERS MEET
that Wines sent To
United states Are Falsely
Labeled.

BERLIN, Aug 1s.-A convention OF some
1 800 wine growers met yesterday at oes-
trich-on-the- Rhine and adopted resolu-
ton advocating a speedy revision OF the
wine laws The reforms demanded include
a uniform system Of government inspection
of wine cellars.
A recent visit to the Rhenish wine region
developed the fact that wines which are
favorites with the American public are
often falsely labeled by exporters. II was
specifically stated on the best authority
that there is much more OF the so-called
Niersteiner exposted to the United States
than is produced at Nierstein.
One authority said: Almost no genuine
Niersteiner goes to the United States"
adding that the exporters trust to Ar6r-
lean lack OF experience with wines 70 es-

NEW YORK, Aug. 16-rhe German tariff

result Of decision by the general apprais-

the strength of the German tariff pact,
proceeding that Is desired by all importers,

While none OF the general appraisers has
made any definite statement. II is well un-

that the agreement in practice will work
toward the suppression Of evidence as to
values, and for that reason are OF the
opinion that II Is Illegal

STRIKERS HAVE FIRM FAITH
In First Statement They Predict VIC
tory for Themselves.

The striking teIegraphers Of Omaha gave
out their frst statement concerning the
strike as they view the situation. They are
growing optimistic and President Graul
expects not a single telegrapher TO break
away from the ranks.
The one thing that makes us firm Is our
financial condition, even though there was
none other" said President Graul. I'VE
could not be in better condition. We are
striking in a cause that Is as full OF JUS
tice as any for which any body OF women
and men ever contended and II we had not
a cent in the world 1 believe we would win
out We realize that there are always two
sides TO any strike. but our strike comes
about as near having only one side any
ever tnaugurated We are advised that
$4,000 will be at the disposal tomorrow Of
our national officers. This. OF course, will
be a good starter, but we have three times
that amount at our command on almost a
moments notice. We are running this con-
test along business lines, and the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' union will not put its
members under any larger financial debt
than is necessary. However, no reasonable
expense will be considered TO win. Locally
we shall be able to care for everybody and
there will not be a single member to suffer
seriously from this waIkout."
In a general statement covering not only
the present strike, but the conditions sur
rounding the telegraph business. the pub
lie is taken into the confidence Of the strik-
ers and their position is fully stated They
say:
"It is not necessary for the telegraphers
now on strike to tell the public anything
about telegraph companies There is not
single business man. not a corporation Of
any kind. nor Individual, in this wide con-
tinent who does not know from actual
experience what II Is TO be tied down by

This strike il broader than the simple
principle OF unionism against corporate
wealth. We want to say to the great mass
, OF citizens who are tied down TO this
| monopoly that the cause of the telegraph
ers at this very moment is the cause OF
the people. The greatest point In favor OF
the strikers IL that practically every person

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, June 6.-Reports that the wheat
crop of Kansas had been severely dam
aged by frost again formed the dominat-
ing influence in the wheat market today
and caused an advance of more than ,
cents from the low point in the price of
all deliveries At the close the July OPP
ton was up 115G1ssc. The September de-
livery showed net gain OF 14Qlsc. July
corn was a shade higher. Oats were down
11k019sc. Provisions were a shade lower
to 10c higher.
The wheat market opened weak because
of the favorable weather conditions in this
country and Canada for the new crop.
Lower prices at European grain centers
also encourag ed local settings About the
end Of the first hour the damage reports
which were coming in from Kansas al
tered the sentiment in the pit and sharp
buying commenced. The great majority
of these reports were to the effect that
serious damage had been done by the re-
cent cold weather in that state. Reports
were also received of the presence of the
green bug in the wheat fields of Illinois,
Indiana and Iowa During the last half
Of the session the demand was active
and general, commission houses leading
urgent demand, advanced steadily during
the remainder of the day, and the mar
ket closed strong with prices close to
the high point of the day. July opened
sc to &c lower at 9434e to 95isc, sold off
to 9415c and then advanced to 971sc. Final
quotations were at 97da7kc. September
opened 1.dSsc to &4d7sc lower at 97lsc to
97skc, declined to 97c, and then sold up
to 99l4c, where it closed. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 26S. 300 BUSH
els.
Favorable weather and the weakness of
wheat depressed prices in the corn mar
ket early in the day, but later sentiment
became slightly bullish because Of damage
reports. The close was firm. july
opened a shade to 1kG14c lower at 5S7sc

vanced TO sac. The close was at 541kc
