THE POWDER TRUST.
Vigorous Proceedings Begun Against It
Unpleasant Position for Senator Dupont
Trust Senators Generally.

The Standard Oil Trust report is no,
the only development of the week in
the line of trust busting. The Govern
ment has filed its suit against the pow.
der trust, which il holding up the price
of black and smokeless powder having
even the Government at it's mercy. This
suit Will be pressed in the hope of fore
ing the trust into the hands of re-
ceiver. How effective that will be re-
mains to be seen. But there is an ad-
ditional interest in the case because the
head of the powder trust is United
States Senator Henry Algernon du Pont
of Wilmington, Del. In fact, he is cred
tied with having been the leading spirit
In building up the great corporation
and, out of the manufacture of powder
has amassed large fortune. He is
to serve till March 3, 1911, and will
nave vote on appropriations with
which the Government purchases now
der from his trust.
While no taint like that of criminal
proceedings attaches 10 this civil suit
II gives Senator du Pont anything but
desirable notoriety. The Senate has
been unfortunate in its membership in
recent years and Senator du ?ont is
the latest member of that exclusive
club to be in difficulty because of the
Government. Senator Quay, of Penn
syiVanla. was one of the first to feel thu
pinch OF the law. His case was some
what different. but he had to endure a
long trial. which resulted in verdict
favorable TO him. The late Senator John
III. Mitchell, only a few years ago, got
into difficulties because of a criminal
case growing out of land fraud cases
and was under conviction at the time
OF his death. Former Senator Bur.on's e

court at st. Louis is Of recent occur.

only a few months ago was cleared of q

There was nothing of criminal taint

of Senator du Pont, but questions as to
his eligibility to a seat were raised and
agitated the country greatly.

Foreign Intervention.
The internal condition of Morocco has
steadily grown worse, with the Sultan's
authority weakening and the bandtti
growing more defiant. Spain tried to
bring about an improvement. but failed.

to become more contemptuous and vim

mount influence, but encountered the

ened war. This resulted in the famous

To Become n French Province.

There is now no doubt that France
will be allowed to annex Morocco. and
make it another Algiers. Algiers was
exactly like Morocco until France took
the country in 1880. There were many
fierce wars with the turbulent tribes
but French courage, discipline and or
ganization finally prevailed. and Algiers
is now one of the most orderly peace
and productive spots in the world

The Present Crisis.

The present crisis was brought about
by number of Arab chiefs entering
CaSdblanca and demanding that the
harbor improvement works cease. The
Pasha of Casablanca pointed out that
this work was being done with the sane
ton of the Sultan, whereupOn the chiefs
replied that the Sultan was no longer
their ruler. as he obeyed the Christians
Ihey then began to incite the natl, es
to eNterminate all Jews and Europeans
in the town.
The next day the natives began their
attack by stoninS European, and when
this man tried to flee he was surrounded
and hacked to pieces. This was the Sig
nal for general attack, and the French
and Spanish residents rushed to their
respective Consulates for protection.
During this flight at least eight were
murdered.
While the Jews and Europeans were
taking refuge on board the German
ship the Musselmans began to attack the
laborers employed on the harbor works
Ihey fired on the shore boats and killed
several men, whose bodies subsequently,
were burned.
PcricardiS Morocco.
Ion Pericardis, the American whose
captivity in the hands of Raisuli ban
dit chief, was an international sensation
says this of the country:
Morocco in the early days of the
Christian era was one of the granaries
of the Roman Empire. Her lands to-
day are no less rich; but, owing to the
lawlessness of weak government and
strict prohibition of the expectation
of grain and cattle, they are now for
the most part abandoned and have been
untitled for many centuries. Morocco
contains about 100000 square miles.
