STRIKE MAY BRING NEW
SENDING MACHINE INTO USE

New York, Aug. 1.-THE striking
telegraph operators may be enaeting
ono Of the tragedies which the intro
duction of labor-saving machinery has
brought about. The Postal has ma
chine which takes the place of eight
operators and needs but single wire
for its operation The Western Union
has a dozen machines in use. each OF
which does the work of four opera
tors.
1t is admitted that the strike will be
the means Of forcing tine companies
to install additional machines. Within
a comparatively short time all Of the
main offices will be thus equipped,
and the old-time operator Will be
largely. confined to the smaller Of
flces, where there is not enough bus
mess to warrant the great expense OF
buying and operating the machines.
All that Is necessary to operate one
of these machines is knowledge OF
how TO operate typewriter. A girl
may write a dispatch at one end Of
a circuit on typewriting machine.
and a typewriter at the other end Of
the wire automatically records 1t.
Nothing is necessary at the receiving
end except to feed a sheet Of paper
into the machine.
Four messages may be sent at the
same time from either end Of the
wire in the case Of the octuple ma
chine, or two messages may be flying
across the wire in each direction sim
ultaneously.

TWENTY THOUSAND ARABS
OUTSIDE OF CASA BLANCA
HordeS Concentrating for a
Grand Attack on French and
Spanish Camps - Drude
Prepares for Big Battle,

Tangie, Aug. 17.-The Moors are
gathering for a still more obstinate at
tack at Casa Blanca on the French
and Spanish camp. 1t is reported that
the 10000 horsemen, who few days
ago were said to be assembling in the
hills around Casa Blanca, are nearly
ready for their desperate dash, and
General Drude is taking every precau-
ton for a bloody battle.
Several attacks have been made on
the French and Spanish camp since
Sunday last and it is believed that
the Moors are endeavoring by these
feints to cover the movement in
strength which they have planned.
These unimportant forays have been
easily driven off by the machine guns
in camp aided by the fire of the
cruiser Gloire.
From Mehediah to Cape Nun thous-
ands of foreigners have been driven
out of Morocco. Robbed of all their
possessions and subjected to brutal
treatment of which the world has
learned nothing, the hapless victims
of the Moors' rage were glad to eS"
cape with their lives.
A steamer bringing scores of refu-
gees picked up at points along the
Moroccan coast. brought the news.
Following the assault on Casa
Blanca, natives swarmed through the
foreign quarters of every city. Womer
were brutally whipped and men wer,

Chicago. Aug. 17.-The teiegraphers'
general strike order apparently had
no effect in this city yesterday or to-
day. The Western Union officials
claim that its only effect was to call
out seven men in the twenty states
from which the company had COM
plete returns. Both the companies
declare that the order had not the
slightest effect in interfering with
their work They aver that all the
men who were at all disposed to
strike had already deserted their keys,
and that some of these men, regret
ting their hasty action, were already
striving to secure their old positions.
The officials of the Commercial Tel
egraphers' union continue to claim
that the companies are badly crippled
and will ultimately be forced to yield
to the demands of the strikers. The
peacemakers are making little II any
progress.
The Western Union today added
twenty-five operators to its force III

arrived at o'clock this evening from

work Several of the strikers applied

GERMANS JEALOUS OF
FRENCH OPPORTUNITY

Paris, Aug 17--The situation in
Morocco, which is greatly agitatng
public opinion, has now reached a
point where it seems necessary to pro-
ceed much further 'Or lose all. The
former contingency is exciting intense
jealousy in Germany and the French
government is trying to reassure Ber-
lin by a somewhat timid attitude.
Anxiety is felt in regard to the re-
suit OF the meeting between King Ed
ward and the Kaiser. France is also
restive under the entente with Eng
land and now fears that that country
and Germany will come to terms be-
hind her back and at her expense.
M. Judet, who writes in the E'Clair
and who has followed affairs closely,
says that France has reached a crisis
where she must strike out boldly or
sink to the rank of a second class
mower,

nor does she remember hearing any
thing. With her were a number of
young ladies with their gentlemen es-
corts, who can give only vague idea
of what occurred. Not a few were
thrown into Mysteries. After the fire
on Monday morning in the old Kilton
works, the city council passed an or
der that all oil tanks be removed be-
yond the limits of the city. Today, l.
F. Keeping, representing the Conti-
mental Oil company, of Denver, was in
the city and conYinced the members
of the council that the presence of the
tanks was not a menace to the safety
of property or of lives in this city, as
they are sufficiently protected by
safety devices to make them prac-
tically harmless.
Held ineommunicado in the county
Jail on orders of Sheriff Bartell, of
Boulder j. w. Reeves and Frank H.
Kiser, who confessed to starting the
fire which caused the explosion at the
Colorado and Southern depot at Boul-
der, are making no effort to employ
attorneys. They are in cell by
themselves and are allowed to see no
one but the jail guards. Several Nis-
itors have asked to speak to Kiser,
but Reeves has had no callers.
The men are loquacious to the
guards concerning their crime, and if
they had their way would talk about
it all day. Not willing to have them
incriminate themselves more than
necessary, the guards try to silence
them.
The report that Reeves is going in
sane over his crime is said to be un-
true. He and Kiser eat the two meals
provided by the Jail with avidity, and
are conducting themselves as philo-
sophically as possible under the cir
cumstances.
They have received no letters from
relatives, nor have they asked to
write any. The indications are that
they will plead guilty and that is the
reason for their not employing coun-
sci to advise them it is said.

Belvldere Brooks took up that end
Of the controversy early and stated
clearly what the Western Union pro-
