French Forces Rout Tribesmen.

Paris. March 10.-General d'Amade,
commander of the French forces in
Morocco. according to official advices
received here, has followed up his pre-
vious advantages in his campaign
against the warning tribesmen by in
hicting a decisive defeat on the Ma
drakas, and a force of Mulai-Hafid's
adherents, who came to the assistance
of the tribesmen. The battle lasted
from 6 o'clock in the morning until :
o'clock in the evening. The enemy
suffered enormous losses, abandoning
everything in their h%eadlong flight.
The French losses were very slight,
considering the severity of the com
bat and the nature of the ground.

naming Extortion Indictments
Nuilifies Ruef's Plea of Guilty.

San Francisco. March 10.-The state
supreme court refused a ~rehGarlng ia
the case OF former Mayor Eugene T..
Schmitz. convicted of eXtOrtion from
French restaurant proprictors and sen.
fenced to five years in the peniten.
tiary. This sustains the decision OF
the district court of appeals. which
dccreed that the judgment and order
OF the lower court here void, Sus.
tanned the demurrer to the Indictment
and ordered the discharge OF the de-
PENDANT on the ground That under the
law no offense had been committed,
Abraham Ruef, who was jointly in.
dicted with Schmitz, plead guilty and
his sentence is now pending. The de-
cision of the supreme court also APP
plies to him. 1t is believed that
Schmitz Immediately will apply for
release from the county Jail ana Ruef
may do likewise. The prosecution
proposes to bring to trial at once
some OF the many charges preferred
against them.
The court sustained the appellate
court in its decision that the lndict.
ment upon which Schmitz was con-
victed was defective in that it did not
aver that Schmitz was mayor, that
Ruef, his co-defendant, was a political
boss practically in control of the city,
that as such they were in a position
to exercise power and undue influence
over the police commissioners and
that it did not show that Schmitz re-
sorted TO unlawful mean in threaten
ing to have liquor licenses withheld.
The decision practically nullifes
Ruef's plea Of guilty. invalidates the
remaining four eXtortion indictments
against the former mayor and Ruef
and will enable Schmitz to gain his
liberty on bail after eight months con,
fncment in the county jail. Counsel
for Schmitz announced that steps
would be taken at once for the former
mayors release.
"The decision demonstrates said

The character Of Emperor Williams
letter Il now generally understood.
The spiciest passage is believed to be
the reference TO Lord Esher-that he
had better occupy himself with drain

navy. Lord Esher was engaged in
improving the drainage system of

was there recently,
An amusing feature Of the affair is
that all the sensational newspapers

it's sen%sationalism in exploiting the

Public opinion with regard to the
discussion in parliament yesterday of
Emperor Williams letter to Lord

with the official statement. There are
still grumblings, especially from the
section devoted to the anti.govern.

opponents as well as the supporters Of
the government agree that the unfor,

New FORKS Newest Bridge.

On March 18 the two spans Of the new
Blackwell's Island Bridge, connecting Man
haitian Island with Long Island City, were
joined above Queens Channel. This bridge
is the third to be erected over the East
River Roebling' s original Brooklyn Bridge
stood alone for twenty years as the only
overhead communication between New York
and Brooklyn; then the city authorized the
construction Of the Williamsburg Bridge,
which with its steel piers, spans the river
mile east OF the old structure. The con-.
tract for this newest bridge was let in 1903:
the masonry work was completed in June,
1904, and the structural work begun in
September Of the same year. Il is expected
that the bridge will be open for use in
October. The length Of the bridge proper
is 1924 feet; the river span connecting
Blackwell's Is Island and 59th street, Manhat-
ton, is !, ,182 feet long; and the correspond
ing span bridging the channel east of the
island is 9S4 feet long. Including the ap-
proaches, the total length Of the bridge is
,224 feet. At its highest point the bridge
is 135 feet in the clear above the East
River. Something like 80, 900 tons Of steel
will be used in its construction. The
Brooklyn Bridge has one span Of 1896 feet,
while the williamsburg Bridge straddles
over 1,eOo-foot span. The worlds great
est eantileyer bridge, Of course, is that
across the Firth and Forth, with span Of
/. 10 feet.
The new Blackwell's Island Bridge will
have four eleyated railway tracks, and two
footways on It's upper deck, while the lower
deck will provide three trolly tracks and a
roadway 80 feet wide. The bridge was de-
signed to carry load Of IL, 600 pounds to
the foot
The placing Of the piece OF steel which
actually joined the two sections Of she
bridge together took place in driving

cables Of The travelling crane, which ran out
on the completed structure from the Long

astride either end sat two steel workers,

Finally it stopped, and the crew Of sixty
worknen alternately tugged and eased
