Grand Jury to Begin It's Stano"f0 o''
 -Investigation.
 Chicago. August 4.-Preparation TOT +he second Federal inquiry of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana anu the Chicago and Alton Railroad. or dered by Judge K. M. Landls or the United States District Court on satur- day, will begin tomorrow.
 The call for the special grand Jury w,Il he issued and United States Dis trict Attorney Sims will go over all inc evidence presented at the recent trial of the Standard Oil Company which resulted in conviction ana fine. of $29,240,000. and will select the witnesses to be subpoenaed.
 It developed today that the reason for haste in this case is that the sta tute of limitation is running against the government and because or IT, the Chicago and Alton will escape re-ln- dictment on between eighty and one hundred counts of the 1,462 on which the standard Oil Company was con- yicted. This statute of limitation bars prosecution on offenses committed more than three years before 1ndlct- ment. Many of the shipments on which the standard oil Company was convicted of accepting rebates oc- cured between September, 1903, and August, 1904.
 When the grand jury convenes on August 14, a few days will suffice to present the evidence against the Al ton The jury will consider infractions of the Elkins law occurring from Au- gust, 1904, until March, 1905. Subse- uuently another grand jury will be summoned to take cognlzance of of lenses committed from March, 1905, until June, 1906, when the new rate law went into effect

 AMONG THE ARABS

 eign Countries.

Tangier Morocco. Aug. ftp to noon no further advices had been re- ceived from Casa Blanca. The ar- rival there of the French cruiser Gal flee last Wednesday made a good im- pression, but the Europeans were still greatly excited as 1000 Arab horse- men were in sight of the city.
 The commander of the Galilee of- fered to lombard the town, but the foreign consuls prevented this action All foreign business houses and the banks are closed and business is at a standstill. The Italian cruiser Etna. with the Italian Minister aboard, has arrived at Casa Blanca.
 The excuses presented by the emfs- saries of Mohammed el Torres, foreign representatives of the Sultan for the disturbances at Casa Blanca have been received here with derision. In spite of his wound, 1t is reported that Gem eral Bagdani, head of the Government forces operating against the bandit Raisuli in an endeavor to rescue Sir Henry MacLean. is pressing on. It Is said the tribesmen are frightened in sacking and burning villages and are negotiating with Raisuli for the release of MacLeaD.

ANOTHER ASSAULT
SERIES OF MYSTERIOUS GRIMES IS
 AUGMENTED.
Middle Aged Woman Set Upon By stranger While Russian And In-
 dian Suspects Receive Beat inGs From Mob.

New York, August 4.-Another mur- derous assault was added tonight to the police record of recent crimes against defenseless women and girls.
 Tonight's victim was Miss Ellen Bull ger, woman of middle age, who was attacked in her apartments in the Bronx, cruelty beaten and left in a helpless state. The woman was re- moved to a hospital where 1t was found that her skull had apparently been fractured, her face and hands lacerated, and her body otherwise bruised. There was evidence that the woman had made a courageous fight From what the police were able to learn from her, she was surprised by a smooth faced stranger perhaps forty years old. He was coatless and wore an outing shirt and dark trousers. He escaped.
 Just before Miss Bulger was assault ed George Kestner, Russian, charged with attempted assault upon an B. year-old girl was set upon by crowd of men and all but killed. The clothes were torn from his body and he was taken to a station house wrapped in blanket.
 Another mob set upon Hilo Saloda, an Indian palmist. who was similarly accused and only the timely interven- tion of police reserves saved him from summary punishment.
 The fighting element among the whites and blacks in the vicinity of 18th street and Fifth avenue, lined up according to their race and began to settle a baseball dispute. When the game ended fifty persons required medical aid and two will die. Several men fled and 1t took several police men to settle the mob John McCue and Mathew Murtha received fractured skulls and were removed to a hos pital in dying condition! The inju- ries of others ranged from broken noses to serious razor cuts
 The quarrel started at a ball game where a white man and a negro had made a wager. and subsequently quar- reled over the settlement and a gen. eraI row followed. Every sort of weapon was used and for blocks the constantly augmented mob surged while the police reserves from eight precincts hammered away with their clubs. Occupants of homes along the line of battle hurled every piece of crockery or furniture that could be spared down upon the heads of the rioters with impartiality. Even wo- men and children joined the fray It was two hours before the police con- trolled the situation.

CHURCH AND STATE.
Question of Appropriations Was Dis

CuS8ed TOT Ye0F8.
 Genoa, Aug. 1.-The recent ternlina- ton of public appropriations in sup port of religion in the canton resulted from a combination of the Roman Catholics, Socialists, Radicals. Free thinkers and other advocates of the complete separation of church and state The struggle has been going on for years.
 Until 1870 Protestantism and Ca- tholicism lived in peace. each enjoying its share of the budget. But the &C., tivity of Mgr Mermiiiodi who boast ed in the name of the pope that he would conquer the Hugenot citadel. aroused the hostility of the Protest ants and under the leadership of John Cateret in 1873 the people voted law expelling the Bishop and requiring all salaried ministers (priests and pas tors alike) to take the civil oath and be chosen by parochial elections About the same time the Swiss constitution was revised, reafirming the complete and absolute liberty of conscience.
 At the same time the Jesuits and other teaching orders were interdict- ed and the foundation of the new con- vents or religious orders was forbid den.
 The orthodox Catholics in Geneva declined to accept their share of the tlilS TcS lIue ana father Hyacinthe came to Switzerland and attempted to set up a schismatic national Catholic Church without the Pope and the Latin dogma. The at- tempt was almost a farce. He was forced to give to the orthodox Catholics the churches emptied by his presence and only retained for the Catholic budget three churches, eight priests and half hundred followers. On the contrary orthodox Catholicism in it's new independence flourshed as 1t had not done under>subsidies and state pro- lection. During thirty years of sepa- ration it doubled the number of its churches and it's communicants and by the constant secretion of Catholics 1t was at last upon an equal footing with the official professionalism that had pre- viously prescribed it.
 Tn the recent plebescite in Geneva it became the arbiter. Without the Catholic votes separation would have been defeated almost as decisively as it was in 1888 and 1897. The Catholics were practically asked to choose be- tween the repetant church of Calvin, saying, My sister. give me the kiss of peace and resume your place at ths table of the budget" and the Social istic coalition which whispered Re member 1S73." It chose the latter course. thus in it's turn showing the door to official professionalism and Cath ollie schismatism.

SUMMARY OF CROP
UBPORTS OF IMPROVEMENT GEN. ERAL THROUGHOUT SECTION.
0naIl Plant b Everywhere Taking on Fruit in an Excellent Manner
 and Promises Many. Fine Things.

Memphis, Tenn. Aug. 4.-The Com mercial- Appeal tomorrow will print the following summary of crop conditions throughout the cotton belt: compiled from reports of their special corre- spondents:
 while general and moderate to heavy rains did not fall during the week, many heavy or light showers did and they were so widely scattered that much of the larger part of the cotton belt from Texas to North Carolina was visited. Those sections which re- ceived no rain complain of the drouth and are badly in need of moisture. In sections where the precipitation was light a number of moist cloudy days succeeded each other and the most was thereby gotten from the rain. Reports of improvement are largely in excess, some correspondents noting the best progress of the season. Reports from Georgia indicate a large production and the Texas reports are the best or the season.
 The small plant is everywhere talk ing on fruit in an excellent manner and in proportion to size promises to be large producer. Irregularity IS still apparent throughout the central cotton belt. some fields promising well while others are not nearly so good. The poor stand in the central belt will also perhaps be factor in the final outturn. But whatever the condition of the plant a marked improvement has taken place where showers fell.
 There is little complaint of damage from boil weevil in the infested dis tricts and elsewhere there are no dam aging insects.
 Southern Texas remains dry and the cotton is being opened prematurely and before mature. The yield there is less than last years. Barring the lack of well distributed moisture the week was a very favorable one. The area untouched by showers while worthy of note, as not so large as to be alarming.

CLASSES" IS ARRESTED.
Negro Accused Of Selling Beer On
 Sunday.

Willie Faber. a negro clerk. known as "Lasses" was arrested last night by Police Captain J. Miles Smith on a charge of violating the Sunday law the specific charge against the negro being that of disposing of liquor on the Sabbath. The negro was caught by the captain of police red handed with three bottles of beer in his pos session.
 Faber was arrested in less than one hour before the time for the midnight opening. His arrest was docketed at police headquarters at 11:4O o'clock.
 It is claimed that the negro was selling beer for Johnnie Johnson, his methods being rather unique. Cap tain Smith says that he saw the ne- gro just when he had left Johnsons saloon on Grady street. and before he could dispose of the beer to the ne- groes who were outside of the saloon waiting for the beverage to assuage their thirst. "Lasses' says that ho was not selling beer and Recorder Baber will decide upon the merits of his contention this afternoon.

(Continued from age One.) such a showing. it would put the Sec retary of State in somewhat of an cm- lie and with the courts, to go on record as refusing 1t.
 With the order of revocation once cancelled. the situation of the Southern would be exactly where it was a week ago. before the matters at issue were made acute by the action of the Secre- tary of State. The Southern could continue to operate its trains with i'm punity.
 And it may be pointed out that it would be in position to go into courts. Federal or State. in any kind of an action it deemed property and per haps even have the constitutionality of the act under which the Secretary of State acted tested in a proper tribunal, without any of the delicate situations that would arise under the present modus operandi.
 Meanwhile. the belief is growing in railroad circles that the Southern will take the stand that its franchise having already been revoked. it is too ,ate for remedial measures. and that 1t Is now a question of quit doing business. or fight. And with that alternative. II is believed by many. the road may de- eide that prolonged contests in the courts, with interminable arrests. in- dictments and prosecutions under criminal statutes, with injunctions and mandamuses as weapons. aud writs and warrants and summonses as the missiles, are entirely too expensive.
 The belief was expressed by many that the Southern would finally deter mine to accede to the demand of the State that 1t should quit business, and that possibly within the week, the citi- zens of Alabama along the lines of the Southern may see all its trains. except those bearing through passengers and freight. abandoned and local bust lsss stopped.

EXCUSES RECEIVED.
Usual Apologies nre offered by MOroc-
 can Government.

Paris, Aug. 1.-The Government re- ceived today through the French Charge d'Afaires at Tangier the excuses Of the Moroccan Government concerning the troubles at Casa Blanca and its usual assurances that it's orders have been given to the governors of the vari- ous ports that they will be held re- sponsihle for the security of foreigners
 But these platonic assurances Will not affect the program the Government is planning with Spain and for which active preparations are proceeding:
 The second naval division. consisting of the cruisers Gueydon, Glotre and Jeanne d'Arc, sailed from Toulon to- day for Morocco. The entire coast of that country probably will be patroled
