New York, Oct. 11.-Latest informa-
ton from the slippery Lusitania is that
she win be off Sandy Hook at IA
O'Clock Thursday night The new Gu
harder is finishing her second west
ward trip from Liverpool and Queens
town.
Wireless bulletins from correspond
ents on board the ocean hotel say she
ran COS nautical miles for the day end
ing on Tuesday noon, an average Of
24.32 miles an hour.
For the day closing at noon Wednes-
day she had left wake Of 61s miles
at an average speed Of 24.76 miles an
hour
Vernon H. Brown, New York agent
of the Cunar4 nne, received wire
less message from Capt. ]. B. Watt of
the Lusitania, saying he was 924 miles
east Of Sandy Hook lightship at 10
a. m. Wednesday.
This makes the Lusitania due at
Sandy Hook lghtship at IL O'Clock
Thursday night, measuring out pas
sage Of about four days, seventeen and
one-half hours, at an average speed of
about 24.5 knots, Some of the pas
sage, as the wireless shows, has been
traversed at 25 knot clip.

nesday's-awards the blue ribbon of
the Atlantic. the prize fof which both
the Cunard Steamship Co., limited,
and the British government have been
struggling for fol- more than six years
to the new pride of the Clyde. The
Lusitania's single days performance
on Tuesday, not to figure on Wednes-
days record, transferred the crown of
speed from the Germans to the Eng
lish.
The Lusitania has beaten the Ham
burg-American flyer Detuschland's
fastest days steaming, made on July
80, 1901, on the westbound passage,
when she covered COL knots, a distance
of GIG statute miles. The Lusitania
will also, it now seems certain, make
the quickest passage across the Allan
tic ever written in the log books, beat
ing the Deutschland's time of five
days, seven hours and 3S minutes and
the Kaiser Wilhelm HIS best average,
hitherto the highest in the world, Of
1888 knots, made in June, 1904.
She will win all kinds of records
in either direction hands down, but it
should be remembered that the Eng.
lishman's horsepower with her mod
ern type Of engines, is 10000 to the
Deutschland's $4,000 and the Kaiser
Wilhelm's 10000

ILLINOIS LEGISLATIVE TANeLE
Republicans Of House Decide TO Give
Every Bill Chance.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 11.-So far as
the house of representatives is con
cerned the bars Of legislation are
down. The republicans OF that body
held conference, and, after pro-
traeted discussion, voted to remove
all restrictions upon the Introduction
and consideration Of bills. Mr.. Church
presided over the conference. Mr..
Kettleman moved that it be the sense
Of the conference that only the deep
waterway subject be considered. This
was voted down; yeas, Is, nays 3s.
Then a motion was made that only the
four subjects tentatively agreed upon
by the senate steering committee be
taken up, to-wit, deep waterway, pri-
mary election, vehicle tax for Chicago
and the continuance of the internal i'm
provement commission. About doz.
en- speeches were made.
The situation is exceedingly cha
otto. The prospect of primary law
legislation is far less promising than
it was twenty-four hours ago. 1t is
tacitly understood that little if any
further business win be transacted be-
fore next week. Most of the members
are leaving. When they return early
next week, fresh from their constit-
uents, the legislative atmosphere may
lose some of its smoke and some of its
sulphur.
There are rumors that Gov. Deneen
will not call an extra session for any
purpose, but will let the legislature
rest upon the record it makes at the
present regular session.
The house in committee of the whole
resumed consideration of the deep
waterway bills Former State Sen
ator George D. Munroe of Joliet spoke
at length against the sanitary district
bill, providing for the three-mile extern
sion through Joliet "The people OF
Joliet" he declared, want the state

of Oran, took all-Decessary precautions.
All the posts to the south were strongly
reinforced and depot of provisions was
established at Bechar, the southern railway
terminus. regular patrol of the Moroc-
can frontier was begun by bands Of troops
as light and mobile as the robbers them
selves living the same life and using tbs
same tactics.
In the heat Of the day the cavalry scout
wraps himself in his buTnOus and hes down
on the sand to sleep. His horse is tethered
TO him 10y long rope with a loop around his
shoulder, If anything living appears on
the horizon the horse neighs and pulls and
awakes the man. who if he detects danger
rides swiftly back to his supporting party
of vedettes
The patrolling troops are strong enough
to ride out after any ordinary body OF
Arabs that they find in motion and turn
them back if they cannot give a good ao-.
count of themselves. The troops are as
well Eor~cd and better armed and with
the advantage Of leadership and discipline
have an advantage always over double their
number.
should they meet too formidable a body
they can always secure help from one Of
the pOsts-AursefTa, Beni-Ounif NRnig
or others which are vPritable fortified
camps. Ain-SefTa is regular fort with
barracks, an arsenal and powder maga-
zine. IL can always send out several COM
panies of mounted infantry without risk
ing it's own safety.
The furthest south of these posts is at
Beni-Abb6s, l2O miles south OF Bechar,
the railway terminus. II is isolated in
the sea Of the Sahara. but since the French
troops have established the post a won
derful transformation has taken place.
The thermometer ranges around l22 de-
grees in the shade every day, but the mOn
keep healthy in the fine, spacious airy build-
ings that have been erected. The officers
have "A handsome clubhouse.
To the great astonishment Of the natives,
the soldiers have made the sand dunes
blossom and bear fruit BY fertilizinR
and watering they raise crops of potatoes,
carrots, cabbages, lettuce and tomatoes,
and they have a houTishinR vineyard.
The cultivation OF their garden is the
greatest pleasure OF the men. Beni-AbbSs
has become an artificial oasis.
The greatest defect Of the whole system
has been heretofore the ready refuge Of
the Moroccan border. By establishing
themselves beyond this the French hope
for good while TO hold the tribesmen
in awe. The moral effect of the Oocupa-
tion of Oud ida will be backed up by the
exercise Of actual force for a circuit around
II until the extension of the new Moroccan
police system. managed by France and
Spain, restores order % the entire country.
