RESUME POSSIBILITIES
FRENCH AGAIN ON OFFENSIVE AT
 CASA BLANCA.
Brilliant Forced March by Detachment of Forty KiIOmeters in Twelve Hours, Despite Harassing
 Attacks of Trlbesmen.

Casa Blanca, Sept. 22.--Negotiations for the cessation of hostilities having failed, General Drude today resumed the offensive and burned the Moorish camps at Jidi Brahim, south of Casa Blanca, and dispersed the tribesmen, who offered but little resistance.
 These operations were chiefly nota- ble for a brilliant forced march of the French troops, who covered forty kil- ometers inside of twelve hours. The expedition, consisting of 2,000 infantry with A detachment of cavalry. artill- erv and native auxiliaries, left camp before dawn and formed into two hol- low squares, one behind the other,
 In this formation they marched some distance under the cover of darkness and unobserved by the tribesmen. A heavy morning sea fog came up at day break and forced half hours halt, du- ring which shots fired by the advance guards gave the alarm to the enemy.
 The trIbesmen came up in large num- bers but a vigorous attack by the first square soon dispersed them. No fur ther stand was made by the enemy du- ring the march, although scattered groups of horsemen harassed the French Hanks.
 After the destruction of the camps had been effected. the tribesmen re- turned to the attack, troop of cav airy repelling a spirited charge by the Moorish horsemen.
 The French then abandoned their de- fensive formation and marched in col umn to camp. Their losses were one killed and ten wounded.

that anyone could not see, I doubted the propriety of sending him a copy of letter written to me by you and ask whether or not I shall send copy of your letter.
 Very truly,
 J. H. Fulton, Sheriff.
 Tn reply to this letter I wrote him In substance that Colonel John had no right over my head to demand let ters written by me and the judge. and sent him letter to send to Colonel John, the substance of which was that if Johnson served his jail sentence there would be no effort made to have him put at hard labor The sheriff writes me that this letter was at once sent to Colonel John. If he received 1t before he filed his pardon petition his statements, if he made them as al- leged in the newspapers, that I in- gang. were false. if my let ter was received after his petition was filed he should have cor rected 1t and not let it go as a fake pretense to the Governor that there was a conspiracy on the part of the officers to make this man serve a double sentence. If he had had cour- tesy he would have asked me for the correspondence and received 1t. instead of demanding 1t of the sheriff. with the intimation that he would have it whether or no,
 Fanciful and Absurd.
 "Third-The intimation made that our objection was to persuade Johnson to leave the jail and then indict him for an escape Is so fanciful and absurd that to a reasonable man 1t scarcely needs a denial. So far as I can con- ceive 1t could have originated in no other place than the fervent imagina- tion of the author.
 Judge Pelham In his published statement has given a true history of this case and 1t Is not necessary to go Into further details. I dislike very much to be drawn into a controversy of this kind. but when such charges are made by man of Colonel Johns supp posed high standing without any foun- dation whatever there is nothing else left for me to do.
 Tn conclusion might state that my whole connection with the matter of Johnson's sentence has been by corre- spondence. except the conference I had with 1udge Pelham and Mir. Whitson as to the course we should pursue. Of this correspondence I have copies of all of the letters and the originals of all of the letters except the ones sent to Colonel John. which stated that Johnson would not be required to serve a hard labor sentence, and this corre- spondence speaks for itself and fully Justifies every action of Judge Aston, Judge Pelham, Sheriff Fulton and my self in reference to this matter"

BIGSTEAMER ASHORE
CAPTAIN AND PART OF CREW LOSE
 THEIR LIVES.
Disaster on Lake Superior at Desoaate Point Many aAiIea From Any Human Habftatlon, Following
 Ragfng storm.

Detroit, Mich, Sept, 22-The S50.000 lake steamer Alexander Nimmick of Cleveland. Ohio, was wrecked Satur- day night on the bleak southern shore of Lake Superior. thirteen miles west of White Fish Point.
 No living soul was within many miles of the desolate place where the survi- vors laboriously managed to pilot the life boats through the raging surf; no help was at hand to minister to the ex- hausted and frozen sailors or to care for the bodies of seven victims, washed upon the rocks by the waves.
 The dead:
 Captain John Randall. of Alsonac. Mich.
 Steward Thomas Parent of Port Huron. Mich.
 First mate, James Hayes of Ecorse. a suburb of Detroit. supposed to be among the dead, though 1t Is not definitely known that he was lost.
 Three or four sailors.
 The scene Of the Wreck is half a days tramp from Grand Marais village, the Vermillion Point Life saving station, and the details of the wreck are diff ficult to obtain. It appears that the ill-fated steamer passed through the canal locks at SauIt Ste Marie Thurs day, bound up the lakes with a cargo of 5000 tons of coal from Cleveland to be unloaded at the head of the lakes.
 heavy northwest gale was at its height when the Nfmmick plowed her way out of the Soc river into White Fish Bay. and Lake Superior looked too dangerous to be trusted. The shelter of White Fish Point was accord ingly taken advantage of until Satur- day, when the storm seemed to have spent its force.
 Captain Randall then pointed his ves- sel out into the big lake. All would have gone well had not the steerage gear or some part of the machinery gone wrong. Only few miles away from the St. Mary's river the steamer was left disabled and helpless.
 There was enough Of the tempest left to dash the vessel 6 hopeless wreck on one of the many dangerous reefs that line the southern shore and to wash overheard Steward Thomas Parent be- fore the life boats could be sent away.
 Then. driven overheard by the steamers breaking to pieces under their feet, the crew began to battle in the small boats with the treacherous surf.
 Eleven managed to pull themselves up exhausted on the lnhospitable. un- inhabited coast, but one boat, con- taining Captain Randall and five of his men capsised in the surf and all were lost.

 (Signed) HI. s. Kealhofer, Man9 :
 MT. Kealhoafer, manager of the <d- reau, was not In the city last night. An unsuccessful attempt was made to reach him for statement on the cir- cular.
 The circular is apparently aimed at the Louisville and Nashville, the Western of Alabama and the Central of Georgia" said Mir. Jones of the Lou isville and Nashville. Tt is aimed at these roads because they have relied upon, the courts for protection of their rights.
 No matter how many attempts have been made to stir up the prejudices of the people, these roads certainly have the right of appeal to the courts. That they have this right has been testified by eminent circuit judges of Alabama from the bench, when explicit instructions were given grand juries not to find indictments under acts whose operation had been suspended.
 That the suspension of the crimi- nal revfsions of an act can be effected while the validity of the act Is being tested is so patent legal truth that it is generally admitted, except by those to whose interest 1t is to appeal continually to the prejudices of the people.
 Tn 8 case now pending in the City Court of Anniston an order was issued from the Supreme Court of Alabama on yesterday, prohibiting the criminal prosecution of a prisoner while the constitutionaIity of an act was being tested. It has been frequently done so frequently that 1t never excited comment. until a cry was raised by those who are accustomed to appeal to popular prejudice.
 They would not only punish us. but they would punish as well those roads which have been forced to accept the new rates. They would use the power of the bureau to break down their cases when they come to trial. sub- init that this boycott circular is un- fair and unjust"
 MT. Jones was asked if the opinion which had been expressed that the cir cuIar was q violation of the stringent anti boycott law was correct.
 He said that the railroad officials had never considered 1t in that light. It might or it might not violate the law. The railroad officials had sim- ply viewed the circular as an attempt to alienate their friends and to han dicap them in Aheir fight for their rights under the law.
 'The great work of the Louisville and Nashville, in assisting in the de- velopment of Alabama. the excellent service 1t has rendered it's patrons are. in my opinion, so well remembered by Alahama's people that an unfair at tempt to alienate its friends must nee- essarily faiI,s said Mfr.

BRUTAL MURDER IN TEXAS.

Dallas, Tex. Sept. 22.-The body of Carl Mabrey of Abilene, Tex, evidently murdered Saturday night, was found this morning in a clump of bushes near the Texas and Pacific Railways entrance to the city.
 The murder was brutal in the ex- treme. The throat was cut from ear to ear, the skull fractured and the knife was plunged seventeen times into the heart. The body had been dragged some distance from the rail- road tracks and the arms were stretch ed stiffly above the head. Robbery is believed to have been the motive.
 A blacksmith living near affords the only clue. He informed the police that about S:30 o'clock Saturday night he heard some one cry, "Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord" but thought the cry came from boys at play.
