assemble, and announcing that great battle Is
to be fought against the French This is TO be
the tribesmens last effort they have only
five six cartridges a man left. If they are
again badly beaten it is not likely that they
will fight again for a long time. General Drude
is preparing to take steps which, without eX-
ceeding the provisions of the Algeciras confer
ence will have a stronger effect upon the tribes
men. The French Consul is drawing list
of the claims made by Europeans. The damages
demanded will amount to 100000.
The correspondent at Casahlanca of the
"Matin' has had interview with General
Drude. He says the general considers his posi-
tion impregnable and that the Spanish
troops have arrived he has 800 men at his dis
posal 1t is impossible to undertake an expedi-
tion into the interior with less than 250oo men.
and in any case such an expedition would have
little effect.
Continuing. the correspondent says that some
Jews who escaped from the Kabye camp have
come in to Casa blanca in a state of extreme
wretchedness They report that horrible cruel
ties have been practised upon the Jewish and
other residents of Casablanca. who were car
ried away after the town pillaged.

London, Aug 1G.-The pure food bill, intro

Government Board, was adopted in the House
of Commons to-day. This bill enables the
Board of Trade to institute stringent regulations
for the prevention of the danger arising to the
public health from the importation. prepara-
ton, storage and distribution of articles OF

In the of the final discussion on the
measure Mr. Burns promised that the Local.

was shown any interest, home. foreign or coio-
nial, in the enforcement of the measure Ihe

as some of the colonies which had made such

Germans Expect Hottentot Will Give Troops
Long and Tedious Work.

Berlin. Aug Reconsideration has been
caused at the Colonial Office by the news that
MOrengo has recrossed the frontier of cape
Colony into German Southwest Africa win
four hundred followers.
Nearly two years ago he evaded the pursuit
of the German troops by escaping into British
Bechuanaland, whereupon the Cape authorities
disarmed him and assigned him home remote
from the German frontier. where he was kept
under surveillance Some concern was caused
i'm Berlin some days ago by the news that Mo-
rengo was near the German frontier and that
the Cape police were trying to disperse his
band and send the chief back home
Morengo's present strength assumes the
greater importance since the German forces in
Southwest Africa have not for two years en-
Countered so numerous a band and II is feared
that the rebel chief will give the German troops

gion of the southern part of the colony 1t is
assumed that the work of bringing the German
troops back from South Africa. which has been
going on for about six months will forthwith

TO SUE HARVESTER TRUST
Case alleging Restraint Of Trade
Being Prepared by Government

Washington, Aug. 16-Suit is to be instf-
tuted by the government against the Interna-
tional Harvester Company for alleged violation
of the Sherman antitrust act The papers in
the proposed action are being drawn at the De-
partment Of Justice. and the indications are
that they Will be filed in the immediate future
1t is likely the proceedings will be begun in
Chicago.
A year OF more ago complaints of the opera
ton of the International Harvester Company
reached the Department Of Justice. and agents
of that department and of the bureau of cor
porations have accumulated a mass of infor-
nation on the subject. The evidence that the
company has violated the antitrust law is as
serted TO be conclusive.
The investigation indicated that the parent
company controls practically all of the big
reaper and mower and thrasher plants in the
country and that apportionment of the coun-
try is made among the various subsidiary con
Germs in such a way that no one of them Will
come into business conflict with any other. 1t
further is alleged that prices of the farm ma
chinery manufactured by the International Har
vester Company fixed by the concern. and
from those prices dealers not permitted to
vary In this way and through its control OF
the many plants the company Is able to dictate
the output of such machinery. the parts of the

at which II shall be sold. These conditions ap-
