Tangier, Aug. 16.-Reports from
Casablanca indicate that the Kabyles
are gathering reinforcements as if
preparing for a final effort to capture
Gen. Drudg's camp outside that city.
1t has been learned that Kaid Sir
Henry MacLean, the Englishman in
the service of the sultan of Morocco,
who has been prisoner Of the bandit
Raisuli since early in July, has not
been set at liberty, as previously re-
ported. The British legation here re-
ceived a communication from Raisuli
threatening that unless his terms are
accepted Immediately he would re-
move MacLean to a place whittier all
the trmies of Europe, ifunited, could
not follow.
1t seems that Raisuli upon hearing
of the bombardment and occupation
OF Casablanca, took MacLean back
from the Kmass tribesmen and re.
moved him to strategic position in
the neighborhood Of Ben Iarous.

Base Ball as 1t is Spoken.

Speaking about ball games! Well, we
had one Sunday that was foxy enough
to suit the most fastidious fan and one
that will linger in the think tank of all
who saw it long after all other games
have been forgotten. 1t was sloppy
enough to cause the most common place
cuss to go rotten with rage; it was fast
enough at times to make the gods of
the grandstand go daffy with glee; it
was as full of errors as dog is of fleas,
and the greatest hitting fest that ever
came over the pike. She was daisy!
And the crowd? Well, that was the
biggest and best ever Calmar, Ossian,
Castalia, Clermont, Elgin, Monona,
Luana, Frankville, Hardin, Gunder,
and every other ham and hamlet being
represented and it made "Billy Buck
lop sidewise to carry home his grip full

1t was Cresco day, and no team ever
came here with better reputation for
being ball players and none ever better
sustained it; they're up and at it all
the time, and best of all they are
gentlemen as well as ball players.

To Europe for spa.


New York, Aug. ia rate war in
east-bound steerage traffic is under
way. Six steamship lines announced a
cut in Storage rates to continental
ports. The fight is between four of
the large lines and two small ones that
have recently come into the field. The
Russian East Asiatic Steamship COM
pany and the Russian Volunteer fleet,
distinct companies operating service
between New York, Rotterdam, and
Libau, put the steerage price for trans
portation eastward at s25. This cut
had hardly been made when the other
companies took off a $40 slice, meeting
the rate of $25 offered by the Russian
lines. The Russian Volunteer fleet
and the Russian East Asiatic then put
the price down to $23.

singles and two three-baggers, three

there that the only thing that could
save Postville from humiliating de-
feat was change of pitchers. The
grandstand called for Koevenig; Koev-
eng, the man that made the Famous
famous and whose cunning curves have
spelled victory for us in many a hard
fought battle in the past. A rousing
and continued cheer went up as the
"old Roman" took his place in the box,

boil up in every Postville breast, while
the picture of despair was as plainly
depicted on every Cresco countenance.

New York, Aug. 16.-Not since the
Northern Pacific panic six years ago
has the New York stock exchange
passed through so crucial period as
Thursday. Exhausted margins threw
thousands of shares on the market,

Huge Recoverles Made.
New York Airbrake recovered five
and one-half points, Union Pacific,
Smelling and Amalgamatetd three
and one-half, Reading, st. Paul, New
York Central and Northern Pacific
two, and the list followed.
Transactions were on the largest
scale since the March panic STAN
peded the bull party, and the fuctua-
tons were wide, indicating the nerv-
BUSINESS under the surface. But with
the rally came feeling of confidence,
particularly as money rates were not
advanced.
An unexpected advance of four and
one-haf per cent. in the Bank of Eng
land rates and calling of leans pre-
cipitated a serious break in Wall street
at the opening.
Telegraph Strike Depressing.
The spread of the telegraphers'
strike had an enervating effect, and

afloat that banking house of promi-
nence was in difficulty, and the at

Shorts and bargain hunters were
the only buyers. Raiders who at

Amalgamated Copper, which has
been in the storm center of price de-

of the downward movement, scoring
an initial drop of three and one

The Pacific railroads shared in the
losses of the other leaders, Southern
Pacific going down from s1a4 to 79A
on its first sale Thursday, while
Union Pacific fell from 1913 10 to 121.
Canadian Pacific dropped point and
a half. Northern pacific fell from

The breaks were promptly followed
by recoveries of point in most of
the active leading stocks, but the un.
