DEPUTIES SWORN IN.
Will Serve Restraining Orders of the
 Federal Court.

Montgomery, November 2S.-(Special)- The only development of the day In the controversy between the state and cer- tain railroads resisting the new state laws was the swearing in of several new dpeuty marshals to serve the restrain ing orders of the courts. These men are in most cases old officers, fully posted on the duties of the position.
 No word was received from Governor Conner, who is deep in the Barbour coun- ty woods with gun and dogs.
 Attorney General Garber was busy all day in the supreme court and did not get time to go over the papers. It is very likely he will have nothing to say until after the return of the governor and a consultation with other lawyers for the state.
 feature of the situation is that any suit brought for violation of the state acts now under restraint, will be fought to the bitter end by the roads and in the end if the party loses the costs will be young fortune.
 The only other road expected to join the fighters is the Western of Alabama, which will likely file papers by Satur- day.
 President Smith and General Counsel Stone of the Louisville and Nashville left today for their home in Louisville. They will be back for the hearing Monday.

 T discussed with Judge Jones the time and mode of hearing the new pleading in the railroad litigation. The first question to be decided is whether the new bills should be allowed If they are allowed they will become part of the original action and in their allowance the original pleadings will be admitted. But it is first to be de- cided whether these new pleadings are to be allowed. This has not yet been done. Our conference was over the question of time and mode sor the hearing to determine if the new plead ings should be allowed.
 Governor Conner is out of the city. have not held any conference with the other counsel for the state. I eX- pect that after the return of the gov ernor a conference of the states coun- sel will be held and some course of action determined upon.
 "The bill filed by the Central Trust company of New York affecting the in terests of the Central of Georgia is new matter and in this is different from the supplemental bills filed by the other roads. The Central bills, however. is not returnable until De- cember 15"

DEMOCRATS WANT ID MAKE PLATFORM All of Bryan's Ideas Are Not
 Satisfactory
NEBRASkAN IN NEW YORK
Bryan Talks To Reportess Upon the Features of His Financial Plan and Believes It the Proper Proven
 tion of Money Panics.

Washington, November 2S.-(Spe- cial.)-While incoming democratic members of Congress are unanimous in their belief that Bryan will receive the nomination. there is pronounced feeling among democrats. especially those from the south, that platform be written which will not contain any so-called "isms."
 As southern democratic congress- man put il tonight We will send a delegation from our state instructed for MT. Bryan. but they will also be instructed to vote for platform to which there can be no democratic ob jection."
 Not few members, men prominent In the party. believe there should be an outright repudiation of govern ment ownership and the initiative and referendum in order that if will be impossible for the republicans to as- sociate the democratic ticket with these questions Others believe that perhaps the better course would be to ignore them In the same manner that the financial question was passed up in the Parker platform.
 Then the question comes as to wheth- CT MT. Bryan will be willing to &C., cept the nomination on a platform not entirely to his liking; at all events the subject promises to become a fruitful source of discussion among democrats throughout the session.

FRANCE AWAKES ID
 SERIOUS PROBLEM
French Forces Are Defeated By
 Arabs In Algeria
MORE OUTBREAKS FEARED
Newspapers of Paris Demand That Summary Punishment Be Inflicted Upon RebeIious Tribesmen
 To Teach Lesson

Paris. November 2S-Official advices re- ceived here from Gran, Algeria. declare that portion of the Moroccan army invaded Algeria yesterday (Wednesday). The French were forced to retreat and in the fighting they lost Il men killed and 90 wounded. Later, however, they were reinforced and succeeded in driving the Arabs back across the frontier.
 Yesterday'sc disaster has suddenly awakened France to the fact that the Moroccan problem far from being set tied. has only assumed another perplexing phase Although the trouble in western Morocco is now confined to native strife between Abd Fl A2z the Sultan of the north and Mulai IIaiid. the Sultan of the south, the powerful Beni Nassen tribe has suddenly broken out in the north east and even daringly invaded the French colony in Algeria several thou sand Arabs having crossed the frontier to attack the French at tue Bab Fl Ras- sa. Under the gallins fire, the French force which was inadequate to cope with the enemy. retreated slowly after a long and determined struggle. They were finally reinforced by reserves that had been ordered from Oudja and Nemvours and then began vigorous assault upon the Arabs, who fell back to the Moroc- can hills.
 Ex- Premier Ribot. leader of the oppo- sition in the chamber of deputies, today questioned the government in the cham Der relative to the situation on the iron tier. General Piquart the minister of war. replied saying that heavy reinforce ments had been ordered to conduct q pu- ntive expendition. The newspapers gen. erally insist that the frontier is inade- quately protected and declare that this raid upon French forces should be fol- loWen by q stern lesson.

Eight of Them Democrats and
 -Four Republicans
TRIAL IS REALLY BEGUN
Attorney Williams Reads the Indict- n1ent and States the Case to the Jury With Some Politi.
 cal History.

Georgetown, Ky, November 2S.-For the first time perhaps in the history of this town. the circuit court held session on Thanksgiving Day, Judge Morris deciding to hold court to com plete, if possible, the jury in the Caleb Powers trial. The jury panel was com pleted at 10 o'clock, with eight demo- crats and four republicans in the box, four of whom are yet subject to cha1- lenge. Of this panel eight have been permanently accepted. Five are demo- crats and three republicans. Of the remaining four subject to challenge, three are democrats and one republi- can. The commonwealth yet has three and the defense four challenges against these temporary jurors. It is expected the jury will be finally completed and accepted by both sides today.
 The jury to try Caleb Powers was completed this afternoon. There are eight democrats and four republicans on the jury. Eleven are from Grant county and one from Harrison county.
 The names of the jurymen follow: J. w. Renaker, G. B. Shinkle. J. c. Linde, A. B. Jouett James A. O'Hara, B. s. Franks, E. J. Marshall, E. ]. Race. O. R. Collier, Frank Lee, Thomas Robin son and J. l.. Price.
 At the afternoon session witnesses for the commonwealth were called and attachments issued for those who did not answer. The indictment of Caleb Powers found by the Franklin county grand jury, April IT, 1900, was read and Attorney Williams stated the case of the prosecution, reciting the crime and defending the term conspiracy.
 Judge Williams touched on the pur- pose of the case and addressing the jury said that the only man meaner than 0 republican who would acquit prisoner guilty of crime because of republican utilization would be a dem- ocrat who would rob the prisoner of liberty because of political bias.
 He gave a brief sketch of the politi- cal history of the period surrounding the commission of the crime, purpos- ing thereby to show a motive for Caleb Powers alleged participation In it. He recalled the bringing of armed men from the mountains, the responsibility for this being placed by the speaker on Caleb Powers.
 Judge Sims for the defense reserved his statement until the close of the testimony for the commonwealth, and court adjourned until tomorrow.

CENTRAL NATIONAL BANK '
 FAVOREb BY THE SENATORi
Conservatism Is the Rule With Aid. rich When It Comes To Securities For Deposits and He Is Out
 spoken on the Subject.

Washington, November 2S- Special l-- The biggest factor in financial legislation Is Senator Aldrleh, the republican leader in the upper branch. IL matters little what the house banking and currency committee does unless Aldrlch approves it When the time comes the Rhode lsl- ander gets in his work and if he really wants financial legislation the probabill- ties are that there will be something done along that line. Senator Aldrich's present attitude is un- known He is not the man for speeeh- making. He became involved In cur rency debate in the closing days of tiis last session of Congress, however, anL hls views then may point the way tu tine position he will take at the coming session, though not necessarily so
 One of the important questions now botherlng the administra ton and leaders of both parties is to determine just how far 1t would be wise 10 go in the Issuing of additional bank circulation against va rious classes of securities other than Uni- ted States bonds. A search of the con- gressional records indicates that Senator Aldrlch believes in the widest extension of the privileges consistent with safety. Replying to nterrogatories, he explain cd that q few years ago his com mittee had reported bill fixing the class of securities for desposits as follows
 "Government bonds, state bonds. mllul- eipal bonds of certain character, mupl- cipa hoads nf cnrntles and clsfsfs ef h. tain size. and that n.lu heNer repudistted their obligations"
 Continuing he said: There can cet- tainly be no objection to the acceptance of bonds of the United States or bonds of a state, but when you go into any municipality in the union that is very doubtful and questionable ground, because there are e great many municipalities whose bonds would never be sold at any where near par, and they would not be re- ceved by any bank in the United States as a security for a loan
 Ii is believed Aldrich would favor the establishment of Il central organization of existing national banks, as has been sus gested by some eminent financial authofi- ties.
 He would probably oppose the banks paying interest on money loaned them by the government a proposition which just now Is meeting with some favor.
