2OOO MOORS DEAD
 AT CASA BLANCA Fighting Continues All Around
 the City TWO ATTACKS ON CAMP Tribesmen Have Secured Possession of Sir Harry MacLean and Are
 Negotiating With Euro-
 peans for His Release.
TWO ATTACKS ON CAMP

Tangier. August 9.-The fighting at Casa Blanca is not at an end. Two concerted movements have bene made on the French and Spanish forces, but in spite of this the local situation appears to be improv- ing. The presence of a large detachment of French troops in the outskirts of the town is serving to restore confidence, and many European residents who sought refuge on ships and at the consulates are returning to their houses
 Fears of a general uprising, however have not subsided.
 General Drude's camp outside of Casa Blanca was attacked twice Thursday aft ernoon, but they were repulsed with the aid of the warships. Thursday night the Arabs made an attempt to get into Casa Blanca but were driven back. The Knlass tribesmen have secured possession of Caid Sir Harry MacLean from Raisuli, his bandit eaptor, and are negotiating with Mohammed el Torres.
 Both Spain and France are preparing to send more ships and men to Morocco. The Moorsh losses in the first forty-eight hours of fighting are placed at 2O00. The French and Spanish had about fifteen men killed or wounded. Eight hundred bodies of Moors and Jews more or less decomposed already have been removed from the native dwellings.

Company Will Fight.

New York August 9,-The Western Union Telegraph company will fight the strike of their operators in the western cities. in the east, or wherever the men may ga out. A strike among the 3O01 operators of Greater New York is immi- nent. though sentiment among the em- ployesa is said to be divided.
 The position taken by the company is that the men have no substantial griev- ance man who enjoys the confidence of high officials of the Western Union, sail tonight:
 "ihe men have no grievance. They have the strike fever. and the younger element which appears to be in control in the west, and to which a period of idleness would work no particular hard ship Is anxious for show down that will test the strength of the organization throughout the country.
 "The company will fight, for surrender would be suicidal. If the strike becomes general as it was in 1883, business for a time will be hampered as it was then. but eventually the men will be beaten. A strike in New York. however. will prove a different proposition from a contest in the west. There. the men are gen erally younger than those employed here.

Fear of Fanaticism,

Paris. August 9.--It is feared that the recent events at Casa Blanca will produce an outburst of fanaticism throughout Morocco. though the gov- ernment reports say that no undue vio- lence has thus far taken place in the interior.
 In order to join the French squadron commanded by Admiral Philbert and the Spanish warships which are off Casa Blanca the squadron commanded by Admiral Jaure Guiberry is being temporarily held off Cape Spartel for any emergency. Neither France nor Spain has yet officially considered the possibility of 1t being necessary to send an expedition into the interior. Senor Maura, the Spanish premier, will arrive in Paris tonight. but his visit is said to be private, due to the state of his wife's hea.th. Nevertheless the premier undoubtedly will confer with Foreign Minister Pichon.
 The French foreign office insists that complete accord exists between France and Spain.
 General Drude reports that Caaa Blanca has been in possession of French expeditionary forces since Wednesday night. He pays high tribute to the defence of the foreign consulates by the sailors who had two officers wounded, two men killed and ten wounded.

Strike at Dallas.

Dallas. Tex, August The entire force O the Western Union Telegraph company at this point. 135 men, walked out to- night, following ths dismissal of a union man who refused to work with an oper- ator in Denver, who took the place of a striker
 In a statement the Dallas local declares that they had been advised that union men had been discriminated against at San Francisco and since the recent strike, notwithstanding an agreement to the con- trary. and that union men had been dismissed from the Los Angeles office for no apparent reason.

 In New Orleans the men employed by the Postal Telegraph company tonight left their keys to enforce demands made several weeks ago.
 Late tonight the general situation had cleared somewhat. and where earlier in the day it appeared as if the strike of the commercial men would be universal throughout the United States. the indi- cations now are that no further strikes will occur for tHc present q least.
 Under orders of National President s. J. Small of the Commercial Photographers Union of America. National Secretary Russell telegraphed the secretaries of the different locals to keep their men at work until further order.
 MT. Russell, when asked for an expla- nation of this action, said:
 We don't want to use up all our ann intuition in one charge"
 The understanding tonight is that the broker operators will be allowed to re- main at work as long as the commission houses handle only tnelr regular business over leased wires. The broker operators belonging to the union have been notl- fled that they are to refuse to handle outside business. and if they are dis charged upon refusing to toucn such bus lness they will be upheld by the union. Secretary Russell of the national or ganization said tonight:
 ''The men in Chicago took the bull by the horns. ordered the strike without authority from the national officers. We are perfectly satisfied, however. with the movement. and all are working in uni son. The telegraph companies have not acted fai>iy and we believe we are now in position where we can force them to terms. At any rate. it has come to the point where if we cannot compel the companies to treat us fairly. we might well abandon the organiza- tion. The general sentiment among the telegraphers is that it Is d fight to the finish

Not Fighting Railroads.

Responding to request of the New York World for an expression on the rail- road controversy, Governor Conner today wired the following:
 The Southern railway. I think, very wisely decided to align themselves with the people of Alabama and observe the laws of the state of Alabama, and am sure 1t will work out for their best inter- est and the interest of all o1ncerned
 ''The state has no fight or prejudice against the railroads or any other inter- est; the people simply wish the same equity of Urea tment to and from all par ties concerned.
 "T can conceive of no greater mistake than for a public service corporation to attempt to Ignore through an injunction of the federal court. the states rights to regulate their business within the state.
 T think 1t is a great mistake for the local federal courts to attempt to set aside the states Jurisdiction of it's own affairs. B. B. CONFER, Governor"

COMER WILL DO
 HIS WHOLE DUTY Other Railroads Are to Be
 Prodded Into Line
LAWS ARE TO BE ENFORCED
The Governor Says If the Railroads Do Not Obey Laws He Will Take Such Action as Necessary
 for the Case.

Montgomery. August 9.-(Special) )-Gov. B. B. Conner is making 1t very plain that he expects other railroads operating in the state to follow the lead taken by the Southern and put in the lowered freight and passenger rates In an inter- view given out this afternoon he said that if there is not a general observance of the law he will do his duty as he sees 1t without fear or favor seeing that none fail in observing the enactments of tho state.
 "I am afraid that some of our public service corporations do not fully under ttand that Alabama Is sovereign state and must dominate it's own intrastate af- fairs.' said the governor this afternoon. T am sure that there Is scarcely a cit- zen of Alabama so scallawag in his views as to wish or help secure the contrary of this. l am sure that the people of Ala bama practically as a unit demand that the state shall govern it's own affairs. and that whenever any of our laws. civil or criminal. are violated the offender must pay the penalty.
 'If in the execution of any of the re- gently enacted statutes there should be any part of them ineffective in operation, would not hesitate a minute to call the legislature together to amend and change them so as 10 give full force and effect They have been well thought out and are good and the people are entitled to their execution.
 ''1 think the Southern railway manage ment was very wise in accepting in good faith the recently enacted laws of the state and giving them a fair trial. It is difficult to understand how any corpora tion, whether domestic or foreign, can sec it for their best interest to place them- selves crosswise of the expressed will of the people and place themselves in def- ance of the laws of the state and seek by injunction of the federal conrt to place themselves outside of tho sympathy and the laws of the state.

Thanks the Southern.

'l wish to thank the Southern railway officers for their accession to what 1 am sure is just demand from the people, and agreement to obey our laws. and will simply add that d negro crap shooter would be arrested in q minute for any violation of the law, and l shall charge every officer of the staee that any viola tion of our criminal laws, whether by in- divlduals or trusts, no matter now small the individual nor how great the trust, Is a violation Of the law and must be so charged and alike made amenable.
 "'rhe legislature enacted revolutionary changes in the laws regulating bucket shops; in the laws governing the sale of intoxicating liquors; in the laws govern ing education. in the laws governing the relations of railroads. All except those of the railroads were accepted without a murmur of resistance. l know of no req son why everyone of them should not be enforced alike; 1 shali carry out my ob- ligatlon to the constitution and the peo- ple'

POSTAL COMPANY ALSO
 AFFECTED BY THE STRIKE
While It Appeared That Operators All Over United States Would Strike, It Is Understood No More
 Will Do So at Present.

Chicago, August 9.-Following the lead of the telegraph operators employed by the Western Union Telegraph company in Chicago, who went on strike last night because they were asked to work with non-union men in Los Angeles, tele- graphers in eight other cities quit work today.
 The five hundred men employed by the Postal Telegraph company in Chicago, who belong to the same local of the Com- mercal Telegraphers' union as the Vest ern Union' men. and who declare that their working conditions have become in tolerable, took advantage of the situation and quit work tonight at o'clock.
 Chicago tonight is left with about thirty-fve telegraphers endeavoring to transmit the business of both companies, where under normal conditions fully 1900 men are necessary.
