Especial letter.


The sultanate of Morocco has played
an important part in European diplo-
matte affairs during the past six
months. The country, which is bounded
by Algeria, the Mediterranean, the
strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic and the
Sahara desert, is one of the richest in
the world A beautiful and fertile
plain, containing all the large cities, ex-
tends between the coast range and the
Atlas mountains, which in several
parallel lines traverse the country from
the northeast to the southwest. Ac-
cording to Clemens Petersen the
climate in the plain is delicious, tenn
pered by cool breezes from the Atlas
which keep off the scorching winds of
the Sahara Excellent marbles are
found in different parts of the sultan
ate, as well as gold, silver, copper. tin,
nickel, rock salt, sulphur and iron.
The forests contain oak, cedar of Leb-
anon, pine and other valuable timber
trees. In the valleys and the plain
all the cereals, fruits and vegetables of
the warm and temperate zones can
be cultivated. Agriculture is, however,
in a very backward state, and the coun-
try sometimes does not produce suf-
fcient wheat for its own demand. The
area of Morocco is $50 square miles.
The inhabitants, numbering 1000, 900,
are Berbers, Arabs, Moors, Jews and
negroes. The Moors are the ruling
race and control all the offices. The
Berbers form the agricultural part of
the population, the Arabs are nomadic
traders and shepherds, the negroes are
mostly slaves.
England has for many years had its
ubiquitous eye on the wealthy princi-
pality. Tangier, one of the seaports OF
the sultanate, is rich city and the key
to Africa. Its possession would secure
to Great Britain an ascendency in Med
iterranean affairs superior even to that
secured by the occupation of Egypt and
Cyprus. At the present time internal
dissensions and revolutions seem to JUS
tify foreign interference, and the direc.
tors of Britain's foreign policy some
months ago delegated Hon. Charles
Euan Smith, X. C. B., to protect her
majesty's interests. The clever diplo-
mat is backed by squadron of men OF
war and heavy detachment of ma.
rines. Those who have paid attention
to the squabble have probably been
wondering why the English forces have
not been ordered to occupy Tangier.
The explanation is found in a series OF
dispatches which have recently beer

AN HISTORIC CONVERSION.
Remarkable Turnin r. Point In the Life Oi
n Noted British Soldier.


James Gardiner, born in Scotland in
1885, obtained when but fourteen years
old commission in Scotch regiment
in the Dutch service. Afterward he
entered the English service and fought
with conspicuous gallantry in several
great battles, receiving the grade OF
captain-lieutenant as reward for his
services. On one occasion he, together
with eleven other daring soldiers, fired
the barracks of the highlanders at
Preston. Gardiner, though brave, was
one of the most dissolute men in the
army, and many officers making no pre-
tensions of religion, Stunned his So
cicty through fear of being corrupted.
He had a constitution of iron, and de-
spite his vicious mode of life enjoyed
the best of health and spirits. Until
he was thirtytwo years of age there
was no change in his conduct Then,
according to his biographer, DR. Dodd-
ridge, he was suddenly converted under
marvellous circumstances. The soldier
himself said he saw the Saviour upon
the cross and heard His v ice DR..
Doddridge thinks it may have been
simply striking vision. But, however
that may have been, the fact is undis-
putcd that from this time on Capt.
Gardiner led an entirely different life
and became as pious as he had pre-
viously been wicked. lie was n model
Christian soldier, and when he fell on
the battlefield of Prestonplans on the
2lst of September, l745, his death was

DANvILLE, Ind, Oct. 23.-The coroner's
inquest which was held yesterday shows.
that the seventeen-year-ol boy Henry
Allison. goaded and prosecuted past the
point of endurance by some reckless men,
shot and killed Alvin Williams at Plain
field Friday night. Representative George
w. Cooper spoke in Plalnfield that night,
and delegations were present from the sur
rounding districts. Williams was the cap
tain of the Avon Club. and he. with others.
bad boasted that they would clean out the
Quaker town. After the parade Williams
and others walked up and down the main
streets eursing and shouting. They abused
Dr.. Reagan. who was reading In his office.
Dr. Carter asked that they be more quiet,
as his horse which was hitched in front of
his office, was restless. They replied with
oaths that he should hitch his horse else
where. and they became more noisy SO that
his horse ran away. Finally this uEbridied
gang began to follow Henry Allison. a boy
the speaking. Just outside the hall they
threatened to close In on HIM. "Stand
back, stand back" he cried. and be had
hardly spoken until he pulled his revolver
and fired. He then fed and has not yet
been captured.
Williams was removed to n hous eand his
brother who was attending lodge, was
called Az his brother came in the room be
asked: Are you hurt. Alvin"
II am dying" was the reply.
This is what have feared for many
years." said his brother.
well. they got me this time" was the
wounded mans reply, and in few min
utes he died.
The shooting. which occurred Just ont
side the hall where Mr.. Cooper was
speaking. naturally created some ex-
citement. but in few minutes Mr.
Cooper continued and there was
no other disturbance whatever. All
reports of the building being stoned or the
meeting being annoyed in any other man.
ner are false. The account of the shooting
and tho events that led To it are obtained
from b. NJ. Tomllnsop, the coroner who has
held an inquest. Williams. the murdered
man. bore IA hard name. He was under rho
influence of liquor at the time and had but
recently returned from lndianapo polls wkere
he had been employed as n bartender. He
was known tn rough his neighborhood as n
desperado. A few years ago he married
very estimable young woman, but his bad
habits and cruelty caused her TO leave him.
Allison. the murderer. is u mere boy. and a
kentuckIan by birth. He always bore a
good reputation. and the unfortunate af-
fair IS attributed TO n too-ready revolver
and whisky.

This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
ilson machines were the best of ell, and
awarded that company the highest prize of
fercd, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals
The French Government, as O. further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion Of
