ARABS RISE AGAIN
NEW PHASE OF FRANCES MORoc-
 CAN PROBLEM.
Reut MmmHem,s Tribe Invaded Preach Colony at Algerin. and Attacked French Troops
 at Bab-el-Rassa.

Paris. Nov. 2S.-Omcial advices re- ceived here from oran. Algeria, de- clare that a portion of the Moroccan army invaded Algeria yesterday (Wed- nesday.) The French were forced to retreat and in the fighting they lost eleven men killed and fifteen wounded. Later, however, they were reinforced and succeeded in driving the Arabs back across the frontier.
 The disaster has suddenly awakened France to the fact that the vexing Moroccan problem. far from being set tied, has only assumed another per plexing phase. Although the trouble in Western Morocco is now confined to native strife between Abdul A5iz. the Sultan of Record. and Mulai Hafd. the Sultan of the South, the powerful Beni Nasen tribe has suddenly broken out in the northeast and even daringly invaded the French colony In Algeria. several thousand Arabs having cross- ed the frontier to attack the French at the Babe Rassa. Under the gall ing fire. the French force which was inadequate to cope with the enemy re- treated slowly after a long and de- termined struggle. They were finally reinforced by reserves that had been ordered from Oudai and Nemvours. and then began a vigorous assault upon the Arabs. who fell back to the Mo- roccan hills.
 Ex-Paemier Ribot. leader Of the .op- position in the Chamber of Deputies. today questioned the Government in the Chamber relative to the situation on the frontier. General Picquart, the Minister of War. replied. saying that heavy endorsements had been or" dered to conduct punitive expedition. The newspapers generally insist that the frontier Is inadequately protect ed and declare that this raid upon French territory should be followed by a stern lesson.

REID IS OPTIMISTIC
AMERICAN AMBASSADOR DIs-
 CUssEs FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
Occasion Was Annual Dinner of Amer fcan Society of London, at Which Roosevelt Was
 EuIogfxed.

London, Nov. 2s.--whiteiaw Reid. the American Ambassador. spoke opti- misticalIy of the financial outlook. and Field Marshal Sir George Stuart White eulogized President Roosevelt in the warmest terms at the Thanksgfvins dinner of the American Society to- night. That the financial depression was felt among the Americans in Eng land was shown by the attendance at the banquet which was the smallest in several years.
 Mir. Reid's speech was received with great enthusiasm. He said:
 "Some one said to me as was start l. ing for this dinner. You will have to be a Mark Tapley tonight--cheerful under difficulties.' That was only an exaggerated way of saying that we will have to be Americans as usual. Nothing could be more un-American than to be downcast over temporary discouragements, or to despair or the republic because our people, unhappily. have lost almost as fast as they .ave made it. We have seen such things before and 1t was worse when the country was not half so big or half so rich as it is now and we have not forgotten how we came out of them"
 Continuing. Mir. Reid said he was re- minded of motto he had once seen on a sum- dial "Transeunt nubes manet c3eiun, which ereeiy transsleed means We are in bit of fix, but we shall soon be out of 1t again"
 When the clouds roll by. MT heiu then said. 'It will be seen that we still have the country Providence gave us: that we still have people and that we still have the boundless op- portunities which. after every reverse in the past have invariably lifted us higher and yet higher. Given these what American fears the result
 "In most respects our country has never been in happier position than it Is today. It is not merely at peace, but on terms of absolute good will with all the world. The whole sensa . tional press was unable to make rip ole in our cordial relations with that great friendly people in the farthest East. whom we had the hong of first introducing to the Western world. . Even that spirited little colony beyond our northern frontier. New Foundland. has good od-naturedly agreed to arbitrate things instead of going to war with us. and. however this arbitration turns out we shall. on either side of the border, take 1t smiling after the habit of our race"
 The popular veteran Field Marshal White, in toasting President ,Roose- welt, spoke of him as one whose nom esty and strenuosity appealed strong Iy to Englishmen.
 Lord Justice John Fletcher Moulton, one of the most eloquent speakers in London. toasted the American Ambassa- dor referring to him as an example of the highest type of the journalist. He praised the restraint the Amerlcan newspapers exhibited during che man cial crisis in that country.
 Sir George Dashwood Taupman Sol d,a nresident of the Royal Geological Society. responded to "our Guests.

New York. Nov. 28.-The idea of as- sembling the greater part of the Pa cific Sound and Atlantic fleet in New ork harbor and proceeding in squad ron formation to Hampton Roads. the point of start for the long western cruise. has been abandoned in order that each of the big war vessels may spend as long a time as possible at the various navy yards. where they are undergoing repairs.
 It was expected that at least ten of the sixteen big battleships might as- semble here about December l. but in lieu Of this arrangement. orders have been issued for all vessels of the fleet to report at Hampton Roads by Monday. December 9. This is one week, prior to the sailing date. and is a positive assurance that there Will be no chance of delay.

Is one of the ships now under repairs at the Brooklyn navy yard. to leave New York for the ren- dezvous ih virginia's famous road- stead. With officers and men on board. the Louisiana will get under way at 6 o'clock on Monday morning. On the way to Hampton Roads compasses will be adjusted and enginey thor oughly tested.
 Flagship Sails December 1.
 The Connecticut. flagship of Admiral Evans. will get away from the local ward on December {.

 The two latter vessels will be laden literally ''to the gunwales" with the thousand of tons of provisions for the great cruise.

TRUCE INV WARFARE OF.
 STATE AND RAILROADS.

ing order is so sweeping in its appli- cation that every person is enjoined from attempting to enforce these acts while the suits are pending in the Fed eral Court.
 Any person who attempted to bring suit would be guilty of a contempt. of course. and his act considered an as- sault on the 1urisdiction of the court
 Any clerk wh9 accepted the papers equally guilty of contempt. The sheriff who would attempt to serve the papers would also be in contempt. Each would be liable not only to fine. but to a iau sentence.
 There Is not only this to consider. but the probable cost of such proceed ings would demand thought in ad- vance. If such a suit. by any circum- stance, should be- brought the rail- roads would contest bitterly every inch of it's progress.
 When asked the direct question yes terday, the railroad attorneys had no hesitancy in saying that any such suit brought would be considered a test case and fought to the bitter end It's contest would mean the expendi- ture of great sum of money.
 Cost of the Suits.
 It Is figured that the costs in the suits now pending in the Federal Court will cost before their final ter imitation between $so.0O0 and $4o.000. A test case. brought under the new acts and fought out step by step. it is said, would ultimately cost $25.000. voluminous testimony would be re- quired and given and the case would go from court to court.
 But Is is hardly probable that any citizen would fly in the face of an order of the Federal Court. The court in the past has enforced every order ever issued. and it is safe to say that such policy would be followed in the future It is safe to say that any flag rant violation of the restraining order would be considered a contempt of court and so treated.
 If any move is made between now and Monday, the day on which the orr Nashville is returnable. it will be made by the State In other words, the next move is the States move.
 If the attorneys for the State are expecting any outside assistance. if they are expecting any sudden turn, such as followed in the case of the Southern last summer when damage suit was transferred from State to a Federal Court. they did not intimate it yesterday. It is difficult, under ex- isting conditions. td see how this could be done.
 Governor Conner is expected to re- turn to the Capitol today. He may or may not have a statement to give out. If he does. the statement beyond all doubt will be warm. It Is possible that the policy of the State in refer- ence to the new litigation will be de- veloped today.
