 Moulins, France, Sept. a7.-The re- port that the destruction of the Re- publique was due to the machinery of the dirigdble having been tempered with by members of the. anti-nilftary party, was denounced as wholly un- warranted by War Minister Brun and General Goirans who made speeches to the great crowd that gathered at the depot today as the bodies of the four victims of the accident were placed aboard a special train to be taken to Versailles.
 Souvenir hunters carried away the last scrap of the Republique. Relics from the airship sold quickly at 50 cents apiece and post cards depicting the accident are being sold as fast as printed.

ELECTRIC STORM
 STILL A MYSTERY
MARCoNI CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR THB STRANGE PHENOM-
 ENON OF NATURE

New York, Sept. 27.-William Mar conf, inventor of wireless telegraphy discussed the curious Interruptions which the land wires and cables over a large part of the world suffered on Saturday from earth currents of cleo tricity, last night at the Holland House. The telegraph system of both the United States and England were out of order, and the cable companies reported that they could only work slowly and with difficulty on account of a disturbance which affected every part of their wires as far east as the Irish~Sea.
 This magnetic storm, according to MT. Marconi, was only an unusually severe manifestation of common phe- nomenon: The Pacific cables. he said, are particularly subject to it, and are hamperedg nearly every day, and. as ill., luck would have 1t, generally in the busiest hours of the twenty-four.
 ''The earth currents he said, "are of the same nature as the currents which the orddna1y telegraph and cable currents use. They are continuous. In sending a message the operator freaks the current so as to produce the dots and dasfles of the code, but when a magnetic storm is in progress the earth current takes possession of the current generated by the company that it has control, and the operators can no longer make the proper sig nalS."
 According to the dispatches from Boston yesterday the telegraph com of this fact and turned off their own batteries. They endeavored to make use of the current supplied by the earth itself, but were unable to make this economical plan work out well.
 T can't help being a little glad that f6esf foIn kl.ie, object lesson," added the inventor. Wireless is affected by certain things which do not hinder the ordinary lines, but in this matter we have the advant- age.'
 He explained the immunity of the employs as oscilating current, which he illustrated by a continuous wawy line drawn between two poles. The earth current is of a different charac- ter, and does not in consequence inter- fere in any way with his own sys- tenn.
 MT. Marconi would not hazard an opinion as to what causes the sudden development of this earth current. It Is usually associated with 8 display of aurora borealis, but the electrician would not go on record as believing that it is caused by the aurora itself, or some cause which has another man. Hesitation in the display of the north ern lights.
 There seems to be, he said, some where, not far from the North Pole, a point of high potentiality which makes the aurora. borealis visible. The only cause that MT. Marconi would suggest for greater electrical activity on the earth was sun spots, but these, he ad- mitted, might really have little to do with it. The whole question is, he said, still in the realm of theory and nothing has as yet been conclusively proved about it.

.MOORS DRIVEN
 BY SPANIARDS
(speciaI from United Presso

Madrid, Sept. 27-General Marina's recent prediction that he would have the Riff country under subjection within two weeks bids fair to be real ized in the opinion to-day of the war office which looks upon the capture of Naodr by the Spanish as the stepping stone to the occupation of Seoluin and driving of the Moors out of Guana. It is expected that the tribesmen will make a desperate effort to capture Nador but General Orresco who was in charge of the force that invaded the city wires that he will have no trou- ble in retaining advantage. It is feared that the Spanish victory cost heavily as General Marina's campaign is becoming almost reckless in it's ac- tiVity.

 Judge Burpee said he would order a stay of execution until Tuesday morn ing at 10, but that Miss Griffith would have to give a. bond of $8.000 for ap- pearance. The local agents of a bond ing company gave the bond.
 She can avoid the fine of $6.000 and jail sentence of sixty days. and will not have to appear in court again un- less she wants to. providing she goes beyond the limits of the state, as she can forfeit her bond of S8.0oO. She IS charged with having committed a mis- idemeanor and could not be extradited fThe procedure now will be. under the krule of practice in the courts. that her lawyers will ask for finding.

 The police of this city have been
 looking for Tolman for a long time.
 The police of other cities would like
 to get him, too. Business at his of

 mated that the loss to Holman by the
 conviction of Saturday in this city
 alone will amount to several thousand
