Statement Ten thousand MOOrs Were
KILLED Believed to Refer to
Other EnEaEements.

PARIS, Feb. 5.-The Foreign office is

tween the French and the Moors near
Settat, Morocco, in which lO,0oo Moors We're
killed or wounded. the French losses
amounting to 16O men. including four Off

to the recent engagement near Kasbah
Ber Rchid. in which eight Frenchmen were
killed and fifty wounded.
Further reports OF this fight show that
not less than 500 Arabs we're killed by the
French. On their march toward Kasbah
Ber Rchid the column under Colonel Bou-
tegourd. which was engaged in punishing
the Chaouia tribesmen. razed and burned
all the villages in its path. This aroused
the tribesmen, who descended on the
French in great numbers. The French ar
tilery was employed with disastrous re-
suit. General Amade, the French comman-
der-in-chief. has sent a column from the
coast 70 reinforce Colonel BOutegourd who
Is understood TO be continuing his punitive

HUSTON TAKES STATEs SIDE
Architect Of PenasyIvania Capitol
Furnishes Evidence that L. Re-

HARRISBURG. Pa Feb. 5.-Am doubt
as to the attitude OF Architect Joseph NJ
Huston toward his co-defendants In the
capitol conspiracy suit was dispened today
by the testimony or his assistant. Stanford
B. Lewis. Lewis gave danaging testimony
against the defendants, Contractor j. H.
Sanderson. former Auditor General Snyder.
former State Treasurer Riathues, and former
Building Superintendent Shumaker.
While not admitting that there was any
conspiracy Of which he had knowledge
Lewis told everything the commonwealth
asked. Huston remained in the seclusion
Of his room at the hotel The architect
was indicted jointly with these four de-
PENDANTS. but secured q separate trial.
Lewis gave testimony TO show that while
the original form OF the certificates Of
Architect Huston was the same as those
Of all architects. the form OF Illusions GER
tificates were so changed by direction Of
Snyder as to specifically include weights
and measurements. The prosecution claims
that the change in form OF the certificates
was made SO the responsibility for checking
up the furnishings would be shifted to the
architect instead of being on Snyder and
Shumaker. who were by law required to
certify to all furnishings delivered to the
capitol.

FREE SILVER is NOT ISSUE
Mr.. Bryan Declares This - So since
Gold Production Has
Increased.

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-wnliam j. Bryan
was asked today whether his Carnegie
hall speech had been intended TO include
intimation that free coinage of silver
is still a public issue. Mr.. Bryan re-
piled;
NO free silver is not an issue. What
said last night had no connection with
the silver question. ! simply referred to
it to show the change that had taken
place in the arguments that are being
made at the present time.
The silver question was an issue in 1885
because prices were falling and there was
no other relief in sight. Since gold pro-
duction has materially increased, prices
are rising or were until the recent panic,
and will again as soon as normal condi-
tions are restored. The silver question.
therefore, will not be an issue.
Mr.. Bryan was rendered reception in
the office of Borough President Coler to-
day and addressed a gathering in the
corridors Of the city building He said in
part:
I am glad to find that we have a united
democratic party. 7 have suffered much
as anyone from the results of a divided
party. and | am gratified now that we are
presenting a united front. l hope for a
democratic victory this fall. The demo
cratic party has taken an advanced ground
our ideas have been indorsed by President
Roosevelt. I emphasize the word some z"
Nevertheless I do not intend to let him
push me off the democratic platform We
are now in a position to fight the divided
enemy. for the republican party is divided
and II will take that party some time to
settle the questions which have divided It.
While they doing can govern
in their stead / have no doubt OF the
ultimate triumph of democratic ideas, The
time is coming when the cup Of the demo-
cratic party will be overflowing with Joy

 Therefore, when, despite all the agitation that has been stirred up over various phases of the building of the present bridges, only three of the members of the court were op- posed to the appropriation, it shows surprising unanimity among the people of Polk county in favor of the improvements. Besides that, it is probable that some, if not all, of the dissenting votes, were influenced by the location of one or more of the proposed bridges not being where they most aoeired.
 Polk county wants bridges and is going to have them. It wants good roads, and is getting them faster than any other mountain county in Arkansas.
 Polk county is coming to the front because the people of the county in sist that it shall do so.
