STORY OF THE TRIAL.

Many features Of the carl Hau trial
" ere sensational IN the extreme. The
Indifferent demeanor OF the accused
throughout the whole FIVE days that the
trial lasted was a never-ending source
Of surprise. both 10 the judge and Hau-s
attorney. Repeatedly the judge would
plead with the prisoner TO break his
silence and give some explanation or
circumstances that seemed most dam
aging. but. with stoical indifference. the
prisoner would answer. "As 10 that,
have nothing 10 say"
The proceedings attracted an unpre-
cedented amount Of attention not only
because % the character of the crime.
but because Of the high social standing
Of the parties concerned and the strik-
ing personality OF the accused. who is
little more than a youth, being twenty
six years old, and who was already
well launched on what gave promise OF
an exceptionally brilliant career.
Court Room Was Crowded.
The courtroom was crowded to its
capacity on the morning that the case
was TO open. Prominent IN the throng

CHICAGO, Aug. IA world
wide telegraphers' strike is immi-
nent.
1t developed late tonight that the
officers of the Commercial Telegra-
pliers Union have been carrying on
negotiations for more than a year
with the Telegraph Clerks Associa-
ton of England with a view of
bringing about a working alliance
between the American and English
telegraphers.
They have so far succeeded that
sympathetic action in the strike is
assured.
Any attempts to man the Amer
ican cable stations at Canso, North
Sidney, and Hearts Content, N. s,
will result in the refusal of English
operators to handle cablegrams from
America.
Should the British end of the
transatlantic cables be manned by
non-union men, the action would
be sure to precipitate a general strike
of all telegraphers in England.
That the strike would Immediately
extend to the continent and spread
over the entire world is certain.

MOORS DEMAND
SURRENDER OF
TANGIER CITY
Situation at CaSablanca
Critical, But General
Drude IS Confident.

PARIS, Aug. 17.-Dispatches from
Tangier. received today, report that the
situation throughout Morocco is still
critical While matters have Quicted
down somewhat, 1t is known that should
the troops be Withdrawn the withdrawal
would at once be followed by a general
massacre Of all Christians and Hebrews.
The hostile natives camped on the cut
skirts Of Casablanca last night sent a
message to General DrUde, command
ing the French forces, demanding the
immediate surrender Of the town The
message said further that unless the
general surrendered. his troops would be
exterminated. the town looted and
burned, and all Europeans put TO death.

General Drude sent back no reply. as
he considers his position imPregnabie.

the total number of men up 70 $500 In
an Interview, General Drude said:
Drude Says He's Master.
''I am master. of all the heights. con-
sequently the tribesmen are unable 10
approach the town by any route without
being detected at a distance Of 1000
yards. 1 have eighteen guns already in
position, and they command every point
of the horizon. Should such an unlikely
thing happen as the French camp being
attacked on all sides at once we would
still have nothing TO fear. I do not oe-
leve We will have to deal with another
serious attack"
That the tribesmen are planning an
attack is the opinion Of many refugees
arriving at Casablanca- They say the
natives are being called together for a
desperate attack on the French and
Spanish. II they are beaten they viii
give up the struggle.
Jewish refugees from the Kabylc

NEGRO HAD THREE WIVES.


Philadelphia Blacks Career Ms Bisu-
mist Revealed ut his Death.
PHILADELPHIA, October 23.-Jo-
seph l.. Dennis. who died suddenly at
l129 Pine Street few days ago was
Il much married man. He left three
wives. as far as known, with several
counties to hear from. When Dennis
fell to the floor he told the woman
who. supposed she was his wife to send
for his wives. One of them, he said,
was Laura Dennis. of 921 Lombard
| Street, the other was named Celia
Dennis. but Joseph could not recall
her address.
Laura, in testifying at the coroner's
inquest yesterday. said she was mar
ried to Dennis the year President Gar
field was shot. That was in 1881.
The date put Laura out OF the run
ming. for Matte Dennis. with whom
Joseph had been living. claimed that
she was married to him in 1870.
This would apparently have given
her a good title, but others said that
Celia. of the unknown address. had
secured lien on Joseph way back In
| the sixties.
Until the wives settle the priority of
their claims the body will be held by
the coroner When 1t is decided which
has the first claim she will be allowed
to have Joseph buried.
