evils. The good is not so surely thrust upon him,
save through such agencies as the lecture courses
and other forms of social service. 1t is highly
desirable that he should thus be made to feel
what is good in our society, and should be led to
realize that this is not idly called free country
Some, for sOrdid or sinister purposes, might
suggest to him that he had exchanged one
tyranny for another. The truer instruction is
that he has become free from all tyranny save
such as he may impose upon himself. 1t is an

very fact that such q system is provided for him
is itself inspiration to him to take such n
view. The man who fees from q land where in

to acquire knowledge is regarded with suspicion
and disapprobatiOn. and enters a land where the
most generous educational opportunities are
actually urged upon him. is not likely, if he has
sense TO think that he has exchanged one tyr
rany for another equally CALLING.
OF the propriety of making these efforts for
the enlightenment of the immigrants-as well as
of all others who wish to learn-there can be no
question. 1t is approved on the ground, if on

Whether like it not, the fact is that the
immigrants come hither. 1t behOoves us to make
the best of them. 1t would be worse than folly

ing, always to be deprecated When they
are like this one they are liable to work
double injury. They put individuals who have
attained an enviable place in popular esteem
through scientific, political, literary other

and they mislead the public. Even when they
are met with prompt denial and-as in the
present instance-are taken in good part by the
person who is misrepresented, the truth does
not always Overtake the error.

A HOT BOX ON THE KINGS TRAIN.

From The Washington Star:
A story that comes from Geneva Switzerland
to the effect that an attempt probably made
to wreck the train that recently carried King Ed
ward to France would seem at this distance to
have been induced by superheated ina gination.
At all events If II is true the methods OF Euro
pean train wreckers are quite different from those
of their American brethren. When the train was
stopped the of the Simplon tunnel after
running at the rate of Il hundred Kilometres an
hour-equal to about siXty-two miles-it was dis
covered that the grease box on one Of the axles
was missing and the axle was at white heat. The

Ten Thousand Tribesmen Swoop Down
on European Soldiers, Who Mar

AnnlhiIated
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
MAGHNIA, Algeria, Nov. 25.-Ten
thousand of the fiercest Benis Nassen
tribesmen swoped Gown on the French
camp yesterday and were beaten off with
loss of 1900 killed. The fighting con-
tinued for long time and was conducted
on the part of the trlbesmen apparently
with total disregard for their lives.
At one time the French infantry were
in danger Of being surrounded, but they
finally disengaged themselves from their
perilous position by most brilliant
charge of the spahis. The route of the
Arabs was completed by vigorous she'll
ing by the artillery. The French loss
was eight killed.
The Arabs were not discouraged by
this repulse, but reformed their forces
and in addition directed their forces to
rousing other trlDes. The fighting was
resumed today and the booming of can
non could be heard throughout the after
noon.
During the pursuit of the enemy the
spahis were drawn into ambush and Lieu
tenant Rose, who was riding in front,
fell riddled with bullets, but the troops
rallied and threw themselves upon the
Arabs in ambush, cutting them to pieces.
The French forces followed UP their ad-
vantage, and. securing the country, killed
many of the fugitives. The artillery
bombarded the mountain slopes where
the remainder Of the tribesmen had taken
refuge.

TO RESUME
PROSECUTION
OF BRIBERS
READY TO BEGIN TRIAL
OF FORD
AS Governor GiIIett Will Not Declare
Especial Holidays" Until Next
Week, Case May Be
Delayed

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-With the
enactment by the legislature of laws that
create special holidays" and empower
the courts to be open and transact busi-
ness on such days, interest in the bribery
graft prosecutions has been revived.
The new law goes into effect on Wednes-
DAY at midnight and 1t was the intention
of the prosecution to again take up the
case of TREY L. Ford, general counsel
for the United Railroads, brought to
sudden stop by the declaration of the holi-
days, Friday morning. In view of the
fact, however, that Governor Gillett has
announced he will not begin declaring
special holidays on which the courts
can open until next Monday Assistant
District Attorney Francis ]. Heney stated
today that in all probability the Ford case
would not be resumed until then.
Mr.. Heney held long conference with
Judge Lawlor this afternoon, at which
the new law was discussed. The assistant
district attorney stated that even should
the law empowering the governor to pro-
claim special holidays be declared I'M
constitutional by the supreme court It
would in no way affect the prosecution
or conviction of case on such days.
Should the law be declared unconstitu
tional and the governor have no right to
proclaim special holidays. then there was
no holiday and the courts had right TO
go ahead with their business" said
Heney. I'VE are not concerned about
that and are only anxious to resume the
prosecution of the many cases before US.
The Oliver grand tary impaneled on
November of last year. which for work
accomplished. number of witnesses exam
iled and indictments returned, was one or
the most remarkable inquisitorial bodies
ever called together in municipal investi-
cations, will finish its labors this week
and be discharged early next week.
B. p. Oliver, foreman of the grand jury,
is preparing his report, which will be sub
mitted to that body for adoption at its
next meeting. Considering the vast
amount of work accomplished the report
will be comparatively brief, containing
perhaps not more than 5000 words. Fore
man Oliver, in his report, will take up
the conditions in San Francisco as found
by the grand jury, and briefly outline it's
work during the year Of its existence.
1t is understood new inquisitorial body
will at once be impaneled.
