ARMY OF 50,000

Slaughter of Tribesmen
Planned in Order to Put
Down Revolt.
Vails. Sept. 9.—An International coin-
mission to assess damages on Morocco
(or the nutbreitk at Casa Blanca and
other Moroccatt towns will be suggested
by France to the powers. It was form-
ajly decided by the council of min-
latent todov to hold Morocco liable for
damages ”f every nature arising from
the outbreaks.
Casa Blanca. Sept. 9.—Fighting be
tween the French forces nnd the tribes
men encamped east of this city was re
sumed this niornlpg. The Mjjuylsh peace
delegation, which was to have met with
the French and Spanish, did not mate
rialise, the tribesmen refusing permis
sion to have the terms dlscussc 1.
During the armistice General Drude
took advantage of the situation to dis
cover the exact position of the tribes
men. The Moors, as crafty ns the
French, also made use of the opportu
nily to rush up reinforcements from the
Interior nnd centralise their lighting
forces. There was not any Intention on
the part of the Moora to aettle their
difficulties with the powers by negotia
tion.
Want to Psnsrtate Country.
It Is learned on good authority that
France has proposed to Spain, that nn
army nf 50,000 made up of French and
Spanish regulars be sent on an expe
dition to the Interior of Morocco, pen
etrating to Fes.
The main object of thia move la not
to rapture any Interior city, but to
get nt the hordes of Moors who, not
withstanding numeroua defeats, still
maintain camps In front of the French
lines, stubbornly attacking the French
forcea every day.
General Drude, who Is aware that the
Moors are emboldened by tile knowl
edge that the French con not pursue
them without violating the Algeclran
convention, says such a step Is neces
sary. He favors a large force, a quick
campaign and a specific occupation of
those regions where the Moors are
ranged Into fighting force.
Big Slaughter Planned.
The desire of the French Is to follow
Up their fights with the Moors, chase
them toward the Interior and Inflict a
.terrible and lasting leaaon ns the pur-
suit Is kept up. The expedition would
mean u frightful slaughter of the
tribesmen—a sacrifice of life that
would startle the world, but It Is deem,
ed the only way, by French army offi
cers, to put down the revolt nnd away
of annrchlsm In the country.
It Is pointed nut that the trouble In
Morocco Is not nf a local nature, nnd
la of greater significance than Is real
ised. The ruined cities, the constant
boom of cannon, the rattle of rifles, to.
gether with the loss of many lives, la a
reminder thut the French nnd Spanish
face u war nf consequence ami not a
small uprising. Until a crushing defeat
hastieen administered to the Moors and
they are scattered, no nttempt will be
made to establish military police sys
tems at the various ports nnd cltlea.

special to Th* Georgian.
Asheville. N. C, Sept. ».—The Rev.
It. H. Parker, who for some time past
has been the paMtr of the Blltmore
Methodist church, has resigned bts
Charge owing to continued Illness. Rer.
L. B. Abernathy, president of the
Weavervllle 1'ollege, has been appoint
ed to succeed Mr. Parker.
Congressman Broussard, of
Louisiana, Is tho Latest
Convert.
Washington, Sept. t.—Whether tho
repeated statements of prominent
Southern Democratic advocating these,
lection of Lieutenant Governor Chenier,
of New Yoilt. for the standard-bearer
In the next political campaign menn
anything, the fact remains that hardly
h day now passes without some well-
known member of the parly declaring
his belief In the wisdom of such a
choice.
The latest convert to the t'hnnler
Idea Is Representative Broussard, of
Louisiana, who, though one nf the
younger members of the house, has
served live terms and been re-elected
to hlx sixth, nnd Is classed as an ag
gressive Democrat.
“Down In Louisiana I am aure the
Inclination Is strung among Democrats
to choose a positive, active, vigorous
candidate, who hns jtlvcn some proof
of winning qualities," said Mr. Rrous-
sntal In an Interview bore.
'It would be nothing short of folly
for us nt the next Democratic national
convention to full to recognize the su
perlor quality of an clean, strong and
popular a man as Lewis Btuvvesnnt
Chanter. The Republican convention Is
not going to tie a harmonious uffajr. It
has been many years tlnco they were
confronted by so many perplexing Is
sues among themaelvea. Therefore, we
should be looking out for a winner, a
Democrat who has been a success on
the hustings, nt the polls nnd In office.
"That Is the kind of Democrat Lieu
tenant Governor t'hnnler Is. The ear
nestness of his advocacy by Tammany
men and all clasaea nf New York Dem
ocrats Is the best political news our
party lias had In many a day.'
