Arab eesieaers Reinforced.

Casablanca, Aug. 21.-The arrival
today before this town of three new
columns of warning tribesmen, who
have joined the army of fanatics be-
sieging Casablanca, has rendered
more serious the problem undertaken
by France and Spain to restore order.
The new arrivals constitute an impos-
ing opposition to the French forces
now wearied with their vigil. The
soldiers are convinced that their pres
ent defensive strength is inadequate.
General Drude has had a conference
with Vice Admiral Phillibert, who tel
egraphed to Paris the belief of the
general that reinforcements are abso-
lutely necessary for the protection of
the town. Whenever the men on
board the cruiser Gloire sight groups
of Arabs they open on them with shell
fire, and during all last night there
was a constant rattle of rifle fire from
the French sharpshooters directed
against Arabs who we're trying to
steal in toward the town under cover
OF darkness.

ACCIDENT AT PENrTENTIARY.
Three Men Slightly Hurt When a
Smokestack Fell.

Fusk, Texas, Aug. 19.-An accident
at The penitentiary yesterday reSulBd
in causing a shutdown of the furnace
for two OF three days and the slight
injury of three men. A gang of con-
vicis were engaged in raising a
smokestack for use on a battery of
boilers which has just been placed for
the purpose OF providing steam to
drive the big engines of the electric
light and power plant, and when the
stack was nearly raised to perpendic-
ular position, one of the guy ropes
broke and let the stack, which is four
feet in diameter and fifty feet long
and of heavy iron, fall. striking the
main steam pipe of the big blow en-
gines, smashing the pipe off its con-
nection with the boilers, and allowed
the steam from the three batteries of
boilers to escape, enveloping every
thing IN the furnace yard in a cloud
of steam and creating a perfect panic
among the men. When the pressure
on the boilers had run down sufficient
ly to allow the clouds to dispense, it
was discovered that the three men
had been slightly hurt, and that con-
siderable damage had been done to
parts of the steam plant.
A force of workmen is now engaged
in making repairs, and the furnace
will be in operation again by some
time tomorrow.

KILLED HIMSELF
BECAUSE OF LOVE
WALTER e. CAIN OF CALVERT
ENDS LIFE WITH sTRYcH-
NINE, DYING AT LIN
DELL HOTEL.
Said He Wanted 10 Die
The Suicide Left Letters to a Brother,
p. J. Cain, Of Houston, and to
Young Lady In This City.
Died Within Thirty
Minutes.

Walter Z. Cain, a young man about
% years of age, is dead from the eff
fects of strychnine, self-administered.
He swallowed the poison while seated
in a buggy in front of Haynes Drug
Store last evening, a short time after
s o'clock, and thirty minutes later
he was a corpse at his room at the
Lindell Hotel.
The young man had been in the
city a few days, and registered from
Houston. The remains, on instruc-
lions from relatives at Calvert, were
shipped to that city this morning, and
that place was his home.
The victim at the time he swallow
ed the poison was in the company of
Mr.. Will Winn, a young man Of this
city, and Cain had already given
VIM two letters, asking him to see
that they were delivered in case any
thing happened. One was addressed
to P. J. Cain, Houston, and the other
was addressed to a young lady in this
city, but whose home is at Marquee.
She has been visiting here for some
time, and the deceased was in love
with her, and was here to see her.
He had expressed great disapopint-
ment because the young lady would
not consent to marry him. and had
made threats to take his life.
While driving just before the fatal
dose was taken he stopped at Haynes
Drug Store. and going in said he
wanted some strychnine to kill a cat,
and asked how much II would take.
About ten grains were given him. Mr..
VIM remained in the buggy, and he
saw Cain swallow something, and ac-
cused him of t. This the suicide
stoutly denied. Dr. Ed Link was
standinsk nor .st;,5 -
I staung his belief that the man" had
taken poison. Cain denied It to the
doctor, but the doctor told Winn to
drive him to his room at once, and
he would follow and treat him. DR.
Link said by the time he reached the
man he showed symptoms of the pois-
oning, and before remedies could be
resorted to he was in a dying condi.
ton. He died thirty minutes after
the drug was swallowed.
Before he died he said he wanted to
die, and If he failed this time he
would try it again.
Justice Dexter viewed the remains
last night, and took further testimony
this morning.
Young Cain was well known to sew
eral people in this city, and was well
thought of by them.
Both father and brother of de-
ceased are dentists by profession.
In the letter addressed to the broth
er deceased expressed his determine
ton to end his life. and spoke in en-
dearing terms of the young lady.
The letter to the young lady was de-
liyered to her this morning.

BIG HARVEST FOR BROKERS.
Past Week Was Historic One in An
nails of Chicago Beard.

Chicago. May q. - The past week,
with its dollar wheat" has been
historic one in the annals of the Chi
cago board of trade While statistics
on the quantity of wheat that changed
hands are not obtainable, the asser-
tons of veteran traders that the vol
ume of business was Of unprece~
dented proportions may be safely ac-
copied. There have been wild sessions
in the wheaS pit before, notably when
corners" were being run, when prices,
fluctuated more violently, when small
cliques made or lost-mostly lost-im
posing fortunes, but never before has
there been a broader or better sustain
ed general market. Never before have
grain brokers done larger business.
Crop reports, private and public, the
solemn verdicts of experts" stats
tics, official and unofficial, crop esti-
mates and the enticing literature of
the commission houses, which are
growing rich on commissions alone,
vary noticeably in detail, but they are
practically united in the statement
that the world cannot grow this year
all the wheat il needs to consume.

ACCUSES sRIBER PRoBERs.
Schmitz Makes Sensational Charges
Against Spreckeis and Associates

San Francisco, MAY Il. District
Attorney Langdon was served by May
or Schmitz's attorneys with notices OF
motion for substitution Of trial Judge
on the ground that Judge Frank H.
Dunno is disqualified by bias and pref
udice.
Accompanying this motion Is a
lengthy affidavit by Schmitz, in which
charges of an extremely sensational
nature are made against Rudolph
Spreckels, his associates in the brib-
cry graft prosecution and Judge
Dunno himself.
The Allegations.
Among Schmitz's allegations are the
following:
That Mr. Spreckels and those who
are with him, the financial guarantors
of the bribery graft investigation and
prosecution, long since exhausted the
original fund of 100000 pledged by
Spreckels and have expended nearly
81. 600 eco in a municipal reform cam
paign.
That the expenditure of this vast
sum of money is by way of an invest
ment from which actual moneyed re-
turns are expected. =
That Spreckels and his prosecuting
associates plan to overthrow the
present administration in order that
they themselves may assume the refns
of government and secure for them
selves street railway and water fran
chises that will net them millions OF
dollars of the public money.
Says Judge Knows It.
That Judge Dunno is aware Of this
intent and purpose, and is herewith
in accord.
That the conviction of Schmitz is
desired as means 10 these ends, and
that :. IS the wish c: Judge Dunno
that biased and prejudiced jury be
selected to secure such conviction.
That for that and various reasons
set forth recently by Abraham Ruef in
his application for substitute for
trial Judge, 1t is impossible for
SchmitZ to have a fair and impartial
trial at the hands of Judge Dunno.

IDAHO ALARMED BY LAND
INVESTIGATIONS.

Boise Idaho, May 10. - The North
for conspiracy TO defraud the govern
ment of timber lands valued at 81 ,00O,-
600 are IN a panic. The federal grand
jury, which recently conducted inyes-
LEGATIONS here under the direction of
Attorney Ruick, returned seven indict-
ments against the leading business

II. Kester, banker; j. b. West, lawyer
and politician; l. ~ Smith, one of the
best known lawyers in the state; Will

Tense is making every effort to evade
trial. Dwyer and RCbnett, who We're
tried for subornation of perjury at the

Want Rounds Dismissed.

up the money for dummies" who
filed on timber lands and then turned
the claims over TO the Weyerhaeuser
syndicate. The lawyers who repre-
scented the bankers and the syndicate
are indicted for conspiracy. The de-
Tense is making desperate efforts TO
have United States Marshal Rounds
