History Of
Troubles.
resumed here:

History of conflict with the Rifians
occurred at Melilla. The
11ouO1es' incident may be briefly
resumed here:
A police agent Of the native police force
formed by the Spaniards was attacked
one day in the commencement Of July by
two Riffians. Gen. Marina, governor OF
Melilla, sent Immediately a column Of two
companies Of infantry and two machine
guns. Les Beni-Bou-Ifrour'' and some
neighboring tribes united and assumed a
menacing attitude. II is asserted they
would oppose the exploitation of the mines
conceded by the rogui. The 10th Of
July the news became alarming. Thirteen
workmen of the mining company who
MoucE were assaued with gun shots.
Some were killed. the others fed. Gen.
Marina as soon as informed took energetic
measures and marched against the ag-
gressors with cavalry. infantry and ar
tillery.
veritable battle took place. lasting
more than an hour. The advantage re-
manned with the Spanish forces, but they
lost an officer and four soldiers killed.
twenty-six wounded, including four Of
ficers. The council Of ministers being con-
voked decided to send the first brigade of
chasseurs. composed Of six battalions and
four mitrailleuses. squadron of 125 sa-
bers, three mountain batteries of twelve
rap1d-1fe cannon ana q company OF en-
gineers. The minister of war declared:
''The government does not desire war with
the Riffians. But 1t will put its fortress in
the north of Africa In a state to repel
and severely punish any attack" The
Gaceta published a royal decree authoriz-
ing the call to the flag of the necessary
reservists and the placing corps d'armie
on q war footing.
There is such a thing as making haste
too quickly. To have made haste slowly
would have avoided perhaps a fruitless
and futile war with the Rifians, not to
mention the avoidance Of an occasion to
manifest afforded the professional revo-
lutionists of Barcelona.
A correspondent Of the Daily telegraph
of London just returned from Spain ex-
presses surprise and disillusion at the
tranquility and even gaiety Of the people
of Barcelona and Madrid. and says: 1.-THE
revolution must have been superficial If ii
has not even upset the good humor OF the
town. The information Is valuable be-
cause 1t proves that notwithstanding the
blackened walls and burned churches and
converts the tranquil and gay people Of
Barcelona and Madrid. and even evil
minded Catalonia. have had no part in
the diabolic acts of the revolutionists.

Michael Phelan was one Of the leading
billiard experts Of the world half CEN
tury ago. and when he
Billiard came to Washington he
was heartily welcomed by
ApeAse' the devotees of that
sport. In The Star Of August 8, 1859, is
a news paragraph which thus relates to
the presence of Mr.. Phelan:
There Is quite q stir today among the
billiard amateurs of the city in conse-
quence Of the presence of so renowned
a player as Michael Phelan. He is ac-
companied by Bird. the we'll known player
Of Philadelphia. Last night Phelan and
Bird played several games together at
Marr's Billiard Hall, corner 18th street
and the avenue. In five full games Phelan
won three. In the French carom game
played afterward Bird won. This morning
the same parties met again, commencing
play at half-past eleven. There was a
large attendance of gentlemen. Phelan
and Bird commenced with the American
four-ball game. 800 points, and at the
end of twenty minutes Phelan had scored
300 to Birds $50. They next entered upon
the French carom game of 16 points,

yesterday the long-looked-for race be-
tween Sea Breeze, Napoleon and Amelia

men were present and bets were freely
offered on Sea Breeze and taken. by
friends of Napoleon. In consequence Of
the heavy rains the track was very heavy.

disputed by the driver Of Sea Breeze,
who charged that Napoleon took the
track too soon. Upon this a discussion
arose, and the judges decided that the
heat should be considered a dead heat.
Upon this decision number of the gentle
men around solicited the owner Of
Napoleon to withdraw his horse and not
allow him to trot another heat. A num-
Der Of gentlemen who had staked their
money on Sea Breeze gave up their bets,
thus admitting the fairness Of the race
under these circumstances. Napoleon was
Withdrawn and Sea Breeze was walked
around the track and his owner claimed

Of much conversation among those who
Witnessed 1t, and we hear 1t claimed by

1.-THE visitor to the west end who took

press some surprise that any residents
could be found in such an undesirable
locality. Little was done there except
by the duckers and fishermen, who oc-
cupied the tenements near the river. The
Fogsy Bottom chills were sufficient
drawback to prevent a speedy settlement
and the establishment of business depots
there. But five years has effected great
change and now We see private property
improving. The proprietors of the west

house property, went to considerable eX-
pense to improve it. They have estab-
Iished here a mill for the preparation of

CONTRACTS FOR
 POTASH MINES ARE MADE BETWEEN THE AMER lcAN FERTILIZER CONTAIN
 IFS AND GERMANS. We're Made Cheaper Than They Were Made by the syndlcate-Have
 Placed Orders to Cover
 Requirements.

Berlin. Oct 21.-The completion of contracts between the German potash mines and the American fertilizer companies at prices lower than those of the syndicate, has influenced the imperial ministry of the interior to prepare bills for submission to the Reichslag with the object of creating a government control over the potash industry
 The legislation proposed would pre- vent the filling of American contracts at prices contracted by the Ameri- cans, who have placed orders cover ing a greater pant of their require ments up to 1917.
 The government is taking this step upon the suggestion, it is understood, Of the states of Prussia. Anhalt and schwartzburg Sanderhausen, where the potash mines are owned.
 The mine owners are supported in their attitude by majority of the 1 syndicate mines, which. during the embiltered controversy among them selves over a renewal of the syndicate agreement, have lost the opportunity of charging American buyers about 20 per cent more for potash than Ger man buyers pay.
 The legislation in course of prepa- ration will provide for government control in perptuity of potash produc- ton and sale. The government will regulate eport prices by placing a tax upon potash exported equal to the ! difference between the government schedule an the prices as fixed by che mine owners when free of gov Srnment control. In order to prevent sale abroad or at home al prices be- low the government figures, this leg Islation would place producing tax upon potash production when it has exceeded the government allotment
 If these measures should be adopted 1 AiitliStuS5 MHo luke dD0ul OV per cent of the potash exported, would be obliged to pay monopoly prices. The legislation must be approved by the ieseral council before it is sub mitted to the .-eichstag.
 The American interests here are concerned over the situation and will probably made representations con eerning fl to the state department at Washington.

In our comments on the proposed
new bill by our delegation for I'M
proving roads and bridges in TINS
county we stated that the provision
requiring six days work or a oommu-
tation tax of $500 was the law at
present. This is an error and we has
ten Ito make the correction. The law
as it stands at present provides not
more than twelve days nor less than
six days, or a communication tax OF
$500, instead Of $500. In other
words, the bill which our delegation
has passed reduces the communication
tax from $500 to $500.
