Saws Arabs Merely PLAYING.

London, Aug. PA picturesque de-
scription is given by Charles Hands,
special correspondent of the Daily
Mail at Casa Blanca, of the situation
there, a situation which. he says, is
becoming increasingly ridiculous, and
which on Tuesday gave rise to a
splendid exhibition of gallantry on the
part of the Arabs and useless expendi-
ture of ammunition on the part of the
French. Mr.. Hands says;
"The tribes, indeed, are enjoying
the sport of warfare under ideal con
ditions OF safety and comfort. So long
as Gen. Drude is not permitted to at
tack, his compact camp, with its close
rows of shelter tents, offers a splen-
did target for any Arab with gun
that will carry 100 meters. AT that
range from behind the crest of the
next undulation he can drop bullets
into the camp, trusting to luck to hit
something. He is frequently lucky.
It is almost a daily occurrence for a
French soldier to be wounded in
camp.
"If a group OF tribesmen appears on
the sky line the big guns from the
ships in the bay fling few shells be-
hind them on the chance of finding a
larger body following them, but other
wise, unless the Arabs choose to come
openly forward. no harm befalls them.
When they are tired, they retire leis-
urely to their accustomed occupations
beyond the skyline returning to the
sport whenever they feel inclined,

collapses.

Cincinnati, Aug. 24.-Four business
blocks of Cincinnati are smouldering
ruins this morning from a fire which,
originating in the plant of the Eagle
White Lead Co., was driven by brisk
northeast wind from building to
building, despite the efforts of the en-
tire fire department to check it, caus-
ing damage estimated at nearly ST.
10000 A residence block east of the
paint plant was saved after 300 occu-
pants of the buildings had moved out
of them with their belongings into the
street.
Jacob Weiss, a teamster, was struck
by a salvage corps wagon on its way
to the fire, and three ribs were broken.
He is expected to live.
Flames broke out at o'clock on
Thursday night in room of the white
lead company where molten metal is
driven through tanbark in one stage
of preparing the paint. The alarm
was instantly given, and Fire Chief
Archibald. realizing that the confia-
grafton was sure to spread in that
congested district, ordered out the en-
tire force.
Barrels of oil in the plant exploded
with great violence. and the flames
could be seen for several miles. An
immense crowd congregated at the
scene, and Chief of Police Milliken or
dered extra squads to the scene to
keep the people back.
The direction of the wind was such
that it seemed for a time impossible
to save a row of four-story frame
buildings, crowded with families, east
OF the lead plant. Bucket brigades
with blankets aided the firemen in ex-
tinguishing sparks which fell on these
buildings. All the families moved
out.
Flames Sweep Lumber Yard.
The flames passed from the white
lead plant to lumber yard, ate its
contents and leaped to the factory of
the d. T. Williams Valve Co. Stimuli
taneously the wholesale warehouse OF
the b. H. Kroger Grocery and Baking
Co. was in flames, and the lumber
yard of d. Roberts & Co. was ignited
next. Smaller concerns in the vicin'
ity suffered from fire and water, but
the loss for none of them was more
than 100000.
At 2 a. m. the flames were under
control, but firemen remained at the
scene until daylight, to prevent a sec
ond outbreak.
Firemen confined the flames to the
block bounded by Broadway, Hunt
street, Spring street and the c. L. &
N. railroad yards. A number Of large
manufacturing concerns were wiped
out. The heaviest losers were: The
Eagle White Lead Co., 100000; b.
Roberts & Co., wholesale lumber
dealers, $25, 900; the Morrison & Snod
grass Co., window sash and window
manufacturers, $15O,OOO; B. H

His Policy Good.

New YOFk, Ocf. Zt.- 1he dc-
cline in prices" said Andrew Car
negie, in an interview, would have
been greater had the people not
been assured that investments in
the stocks and bonds OF corpora
ti0ns are hereafter 10 be safe
guarded TO much greater degree
than ever before.
Nothing is proposed or intended
by the President in this direction
which is not the law IN civilized
states. No railroad corporation in
Europe can increase its capital or
its bonds, nor can merge with an
other without first obtaining an.
thority from competent tribunal.
Even Canada has ITS committee for
this purpose.
'lt Is not only right but neces-
sary to supervise such corporations
AS we do our banks. They are crea-
lures OF the State, enjoying many
privileges, and the interests OF the
naticn must be protected. When
this is secured 1t will be seen that
the President has been truly con-
seryative force in the country, and
that the investor is now protected
from being swindled by small
clIques of men who abuse their
fiduciary positions as directors.
"rhis panic will soon run its
course, as others have, and pass
away, leaving no impediment to
the return in due season to another
period of wholesome, because
needed, expansion Of our resources.
This will reassure capital, which
will flow to US from abroad even
more abGndantly than before, be-
cause our new laws will give such
security to the foreigners and our
own investors that was hlshertC
lacking. Nothing more is aimed al
by the President than such safe.
| guards as the foreign investor has
at home. Nothing of this kind
should be objected to by the hon.
est official; nothing less should be
demanded by the people, and
nothing less should the Govern
ment give. Let it be remembered
that the President has been urging
this vital reform for wears, during
which prices have ruled highest,
and that he stands to-day jus
where he did then, and where it il
to be hoped he will stand until oul
laws protect honest investors from
dishonest officials and their sWind
ling schemes.
"AlISwe have to do is to con
vince the world that our laws pro
tect the investor as carefully al
those Of other civilized countries
I his is the Presidents policy. HI
should be supported in his work.
