New York, Sept. 4.-The World to-

They will seek employment also as telephone operators Twenty len obtained oth- CT employment yesterday on October next when the eight hour law goes into effect, compelling railroads to make shifts of eight hours each in twenty-twO states, and six hundred
 men from New York and Chicago will become telegraphers on railroads. Superintendent Brooks, of the Vest ern Union, said yesterday: "The meet ing of the directors, Sept 10. will take no action on the strike and will f simply transact routine business. The fOrty-five men from the different To- calls who are coming here to discuss arbitration. might as well save their expense and remain where they are. | Their coming here will do them no

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 ISSUES STATEMENT
Fir. Bonaparts Recites Facts ConceY- ing the Alto-'s Connection With Standard Oil Prosecutions.

Ienox. Mass. Sept. 4.-Attorney General Bonaparte tonight issued a statement regarding the Standard oil case in the Illinois court. The attor- ney generals statement follows:
 "On August 18th. Judge Landis ask ed in substance that the department of justice consider portions of the testimony ia tEe case of the United States against tie Standard Oil CO of Indiana, in order to determine whether the Chicago and Alton railroad. it's of ficers and employees. were entitled to the benefits of the agreement assur- ing it and them of immunity against criminal prosecution in connection with the granting of certain rebates to the Standard Oil
 "The department. in compliance with the desire of Judge Landis, examined the above mentioned records and care fully investigated the entire subject. and as a result of such investigation. the attorney general on August 20. wrote to Edwin W. Sims. U. s. at torney at Chicago. informing him in substance that the agreement was shown to have been made in June and July 1906 by T. F. Morrison. the pre- deCoSSOr of Sims in office; that MOrri- sons action appears to have been duly authorized at the time by the de- uartment and that in the opinion of the department. the agreement had greatly facilitated the indictment and conviction of the Standard Oil: that while certain portions of the evidence mi~ht be fairly open to unfavorabie comment. the department regards the government as bound m good faith and also as a matter of public policy to give effect to the agreement.
 sims was instructed to read this let ter when the grand jury reconvened Sept. g. and take such further action to foregoing end as might seem to the court and> himself appropriate in the premises. The department learns that Sims did not comply with the in structions by reason of his having had called to his attention very recent ly. certain new and in his judgment. material facts, which he thought should be submitted to the department for further consideration before conclusion was finally announced For this purpose he asked and was granted by the court delay of three weeks. The de oartme-t is not vet advised as to what facts are thus ascertained by Sims IL has great confidence in his sound judgment and devotion to his duty and awaits his reply before talk ing further action in the premises. h. asmuch however, as the circumstances may be liable to misconstruction. it is deemed proper to submit now the present statement to the public"

Interior Hitchcock and later went be- fore congress. The delegation includ- ing Congressman smith. voted unani- mously for the Los Angeles act This was the enabling act permitting the supplying of water to Los Angeles. MT Bien said the action of the inter- for department was taken on the ad

Pinchot said President Roosevelt two secretaries of the interior, and the California representatives had scruti- nized the project thoroughly and con- sidered it fair.

Desperate Encounter Monday Followed By
 Land and Water Engagement
MOOrs In Fantastic Battle Array Swept Down on the Algerians But With the Help of the French Were Driven Back.

Casa Blanca, Sept. 4-About 5000 MOors participated in Mondays fight. The Moors who Were repulsed on all sides. made most impressive picture as. garbed fantastically. mounted on wild horses and carrying banners in font of the line. they swept down from the hills in splendid formation and charged thunderously to within about 400 yards of the French. who for a mo- ment seemed in danger of being over ridden. As they advanced the MoOrs chanted verses from the Koran.
 The regular Algerans encountered the first shock of the MOors' assault without yielding a foot from the posi- ton they occupied. General Drude quickly deployed his forces to the greatest advantage, and the MoOrs submitted to a fire of shot and shell which soon left the ground strewn with corpses. Major Provost was slain tturning to camp after the en- gagement. which opened at , a. m. and lasted seven hours. IL is estimated that in the engagement of August 2S. and September 1st, about 500 Moors were killed.

TROUBLES OF MODES.

Washington. Sept. 4. - Two of the Annapolis naval cadets who were sus- pended and recommended for dismiss al by Captain Badger. the command ant. have answered the order of the acting secretary of the navy to show cause Wh-- their dismissal shall not be enforced.

organizations in the matter of irriga- tion and forestry. MT. Hartman and Governor Chamberlain of oregon. pres ident of the congress engaged in a mild debate, the railroad man getting up to reply to remarks of Oregon's chief ex- ecutive. The Irrigation palace was thronged when Governor Chamberlain introducted Mir. Hartman.
 After being warmly applauded MT. Hartman spoke of the import bearing transportation has to the preservation of the forests and irrigation, how the organizations believed in irrigation.
 Hartman said that when he suggest ed it to his associates east of the Ms sissippi that they take hold of the Un- ion Pacific they regarded him as being almost out of sense and asked what he Was going to do with the great desert to be traversed. II told them of the possibilities of irrigation said Harri- man. but they replied that it would come in another generation and not in ours. l had to go it alone. Perhaps some now regret that l did not usa more force and persuasion to have them go along with me-" Hartman then said his organizations controlled much timber land in Oregon. but it is not be- ing sold or timber being cut but is be- ing saved for future generations. Har- riman then referred to the work done in improving the Union Pacific and said it was necessary to secure control of the Central Pacific to improve it likewise. otherwise the traffic would be choked up at ogden. He closed by say N,.. fN.. ass would not consider his organizations selfish and added that everything pos sible is being done 10 develop the west.
 After Hartman resumed his seat, Governor Chamberlain referring to the oregon forest lands preservation. said the people wanted something done for the present generation and not for flu ture.
 'I do not want to get into a discussion with Mir. Hartman but | would like to know how many acres Of the original grant have been sold by the railroad at a price in excess of that fixed by the grant. I do not think the companies should be permitted to hold such large grants. I would like to see Mir. Harri- man build into Oregon and invite him to do so"
 Hartman replied as follows: There is little inducement to build into a country where it is so thinly popu- i lated" He referred to oregon as a very fine country but called attention to the fact that shoveling snow would be required six months of the year and promised that when times are better and the credit of his organizations i' established he would build a road whether it pays or not. but at present he and his associates do not feel like paving or per cent on an invest meat. the outcome of which is so much in doubt. The incident then closed and Governor Chamberlain introduced Lu- ther Burbank who arrived in the even ing. as the Wizard oi CIliforri7. Toe great maker of plants made but few remarks.

order to bring the fighting to an end. The fierce assault of the enemy is believed to be due to Frances failure to annihilate the MOors during the early stages of the expedition. a result which France was unable to accom- plish on account of the restrictions imposed on her b-- the Algeciras con- vention. Riginault. the French minis ter at TanGier. left Paris today for Spain, where he will confer with Spanish officials subject to an enlarge ment of action and the cooperation of Spain and France.
