WOMEN ON POLICE FORCE.
Urged BY President OF National
Woman's Protective Association.

Minneapolis, MINI. (SpeciaD -
That Minneapolis needs 100 women
policemen is the opinion of DR.. An
ma Howard Shaw, president of the
National Woman's Suffrage Associa-
tion, who addressed the students in
the chapel of the University of Min
nesota.
She gave it as her opinion that
should the demands of suffragists
be granted, it would not be too
much to expect that women should
do their share in the police and fire
departments.
"One hundred women specialists
put on the police force of any city
would make for improved civic con-
ditions," said Dr. Shaw. The crimi.
nal needs 'mothering.
IF women were on the police
force their watchfulness, care and
attention to people who need their
wholesome influence, backed up by
authority. would prove a most use
full and uplifting measure"

TROOPS MuTINY
A Whole Battalion Refuses to En-.
bark for Morocco.
A MILITARY CRISIS IN SPAIN.
Riotous Manifestations Against The
Departure OF Troops--A Dozen
Persons Wounded In Encounter
With Police At Malaga-Some OF
The Moorish Leaders Preaching A
Holy War--Gen. Weyler. OF Cuba
Notoriety, May Command Spanish
Forces In Morocco.

| Madrid Especially .-Riotous dem
onstrations against the departure of
| troops 10 Morocco are increasing and
King Alfonso and the government au-
thorities realize that a serious mill
tary crisis confronts them The King
has cancelled all his engagements to
give his entire attention to the siua-
tion.
Parliament will be asked to vote
further credits so that more rein
forcements can be sent TO Melilla. 1t
is possible that General Weyler, form
erly Spanish captain general of Cuba,
will be placed in supreme command
of the Spanish forces in Morocco.
I The liberal press is joining in the
popular protest against sending SOL
diers to the Riff Coast, alleging that
the war is solely for the purpose of
| protecting private mining interests.
| The newspapers demand the convoca-
! tion of the Cortes and frank state
ment of the governments intentions.
A riot broke out at Barcelona
| among the troops who were about
to be embarked for Melilla. An en-
ed the colonel and other officers with
their bayonets. Other troops were
hastily summoned and the mutineers
were disarmed
During the night while troops,
which are TO reinforce the Spanish
garrison at Melilla were preparing
here to leave for Malaga, the families
of the soldiers surrounded the rail-
/ tnNs g.l h.
with the object of preventing the de-
parture of tleir relatives. A des-
| perate melee followed in which the
police used their swords and revol-
vers. At least a dozen persons were
wounded and many others arrested.
Stringent measures will be taken to
suppress similar popular disturbances
in connection with the departure of
troops in the future.
In the numerous engagements that
have taken place in the last few
days the Spaniards sometimes held
their own with difficulty and had to
! fight desperately TO protect their ar
tillery from the furious attacks of
the Kabyles. There has been great
deal of hand-to-hand fighting, and
the Spaniards ha lost several Off
GERS and many men killed, besides
numbers wounded. The tribesmen
have lost severely, but their fanatical
courage is unquenched.
The main cause of the hostility of
the Moorish tribes is the construction
of Spanish ra way from Melilla to
come mines about IL miles inland.
Repeated attacks on the Spanish
troops guarding the works have ne
cessitated the sending of strong re-
Inducements, and the presence of
these, far from overawing the Moors,
seems TO have stiffened their oppo-
sition.
Advices from Algeciras say that
the natives of the Louk region are
preaching a holy war and are pre-
pairing to join the Moors in front of
Mplilla

from the ditch.

names of the dead.
A later note issued by the Cen

may be heavier owing to the con-
fusion in getting the disembarked

dispatches received from Melilla say
the Spaniards continue to hold the
railroad line, and that the retirement
Of the Spanish troops yesterday after

entire region from Cape Tres as far

Fishermen Drop Into Sea.
Galveston, Tex. Especially .-Forti-
fled behind her 17-foot sea wall and
elevated to a point above the danger
line, Galveston passed safely through
hurricane that resembled the dis
astrous' storm of 1900. Part of the
island on which the city is situated
was again inundated, the overfiowing
sea water reaching a height of seven
feet or more. That portion OF the
island which has been protected suf-
fered comparatively little harm.
No lives we're lost in Galveston,
but late report says that 16 perish
ed on the Tarpon fishing pier on the
north jetty, six miles from the city,
across the bay.
This was a new resort, two stories
high and with 25 rooms furnished.
1t was erected early this season at
cost of $4,000. 1t is not exactly
known how many were on the pier,
but it is estimated that there were
between 12 and IA guests besides
Captain Bettison, the manager, and
his wife and daughter.
The structure was built to with
stand heavy gale, but collapsed
and everyone was lost. The life
saving crew, government boats and
pilot boats made several attempts
to reach the pier, which is out in
the Gulf, but the sea was running
too high.
Sweeping westward the tropical
storm, which had been central over
the Gulf of Mexico for "a hours,
struck Galveston shortly after IL
o'clock. The wind attained a velo-
city of 6S miles an hour and shifted
to the northeast, heaving tho wa
ters of Galveston Bay up against the
island and flooding that quarter
which had not been raised. The
water backed up into the main
streets of the city, but the principal
damage was confined to the beach
front, where lighthouses and pleas
ure piers were swept away. Ship
ping was undisturbed
A hurricane from East Texas was
forecasted at the district weather
bureau in New Orleans and warn
ings were sent out. When wind and
rain arrived, several hours later,
they found Galveston prepared. The
inhabitants of the few scattered
houses in the low part of the island
had already sought safety, and the
vessels that had cleared and pre-
pared to sail were riding at ancho.
in the bay.
The fury of the storm soon abated,
and the anxiety of those who enter
tanned fears of another tidal wave
was soon relieved. Small boys pud-
ding around in the flooded streets.
even before the heavy winds had
died down, presented a scene which
dispelled the alarm felt by the tim
i'd.
So short was the duration of the
storm that the Mallory Line steamer,
which was booked to sail for New
York shortly after noon, left on
schedule time.
A heavy dredge, torn from its
moorings, was blown against the
single bridge that connects Calves
ton Island with the mainland,
breaking the telegraph cables that
were carried by the bridge. AS a
result all manner of rumors were
soon rife throughout the country to
the effect that Galveston had again
suffered such a storm as that which
partly destroyed the city nih3 years
ago. 1t was not until communication
was established that these reports
could be denied.

the price of stock on November lst

attention, several experienced min

advance in price you must file your
application before the close Of the
present month.
