SIR EUAN SMITHS MISSION.
On His Way to See Morocco's Sultan. ana
the French Don't Like It.

Sir Euan Smith. the British Minister to Mo-
rocco. has started from Tangier on his mission
to the Sultan at Fec. large number OF offi-
cials and natives turned out to bid him fare
well as he left Tangier. but all the members OF
the French Legation were conspicuous by
their absence Tho purpose OF Sir Euan
Smiths visit to the capital has not been def
ntely announced. except that the Minister has
said that tho mission IL undertaken In the
cause Of British interests. that Great Britain
has no intention Of acquiring an acre OF Muley
Hassan's territory. and that the only desire Of
England is that the Sultan should govern his
people more Justly and permit the country to
be developed to its full extent.
The fact that some foreign legations. in ono
way or another. manifested their disapproval
OF Sir Euan Smiths mission. is another illus
tration of the jealousy with which tho repre-
scntatives in Morocco OF the European powers
