signs of unusual charm; and when
these are seen becOmingly displayed in
the house of some cultivated foreigner,
whom the demands OF trade have de-
posted for time in Mooriand. all that
is unpleasant is forgotten. Tangier is
the residence of those foreign ministers
who are accredited to the court of the
sultan.
Tetuan, another seaport city, is forty
five miles from fangier, and is a place
well worth visit. It is peopled almost
wholly by Moors of the pure blood, and
one finds there teSSelated pavements,
shady courts which echo the splash of
carved gatewayS, pillared arcadeS and
turrets iniaid with glittering and vari-
colored mosaic. The streets OF the city
are broad and tolerably clean, and the
business center picturesque and attract
I've. Often one sees In the streets of
Tetuan groups of the wild natives from
the Riff mountains, come to make their
ANNUAL purchases. 1t was from these
natives that the recent assailants of the
Spanish garrison at Meliila were drawn.
They are BerberS of the most fanatical
type and would kill any white man
whom they caught in their midst.

wear them in front, possibly to give the
impression in and out of season of being

lords, even when their condition does
not Justify such conclusion"
Half of the negroes in Morocco are
slaves, and almost every city has it's
slave market, but the Servitude is of a
mild character, and the slaves are we'll
treated and generally content with their
lot. They labor little, and have no oc-
caslon to take care for the morrow. Only
females are offered for sale in the mar
ketS, and the use for which they are
intended need not be named here. At
the age of fourteen or fifteen the sons of
good families possess their slaves. Their
parents present them with one for
their amusement at the age when
Christian people give their children a
pony for exercise. The slaves are
brought by caravan from Timbuctoo.
ana from 5000 to 1900 are imported
yearly. 1t is considered no disgrace to
be child of slave mother. The
mother of the present sultan was a
negress, and the late grand sheeref of
WaZZan was the son of a HouSSa mulat-
to. Some of the handSomest women,
both in feature and form, to be seen in
Morocco are full-blooded negresses, who
reign as queens in the harems OF their
Moorish lords.
The chief cities of Morocco are Tan
gier, Tetuan, Morocco and Fee. Tan
gier faces Gibraltar, and is reached in
four hours sail from that city. 1t has

wherever it extends, and has often been
marked by deeds of ruthless barbarity.
His empire is divided into three king
doms, Fee, Tablet and Morocco, each
ruled by a vicer0y appointed by the
sultan. Each kingdom is subdivided
into departments ruled by baShaws, gen
orally chosen from among the favoriteS
of the sultan'S court, and each depart
ment is again subdivided into districts
ruled by caids, selected from the local
chleftalns, and to whom are intrusted
the collection and remission of the i'm
perial taxes. Each functionary in this
complex system of government is ami
mated by one and the same aim-to
secure as much and yield as little as
possible. and between sultan, bashaW
and caid the last penny is ground from
the helpless fellaheen, who can look for
comfort as we'll as happiness only in the
paradise of the true believer.
The sultan is almost always on the
march, spending at least half Of every
year under canvas, either on the war
path or journeying from one of his CAPT.
tails to the other. Despite his palaces,
his gardens and his 1000 wives, his lot is
a laborious and troubled one. The
soidiery excepted, he is unpopular with
his subjects, who charge him (and most
unjustly, too) with being friendly to
the Christians, and last year he had to
contend with no less than five rebel
lions in different parts of his composite
empire. The Berbers, ZimoorS, Zair,
Beni-Hassan and many other tribes of
nomadS deny his authority. kill his tax
gatherers and loot his caravans. Yearly
he sees his power weakened. and his re-
sources still more impaired, while be-
hind the chronic discomfort lurk the
constant danger of assassination and
the fear of European agrees ion. When
nine years ago serious illness for a time
presaged the death of Mulai-al-Hassan,
pretenders to the throne sprang up in
almost every province and the total dis
memberment of the empire seemed at
hand. And this is what will doubtless
befall when malice domestic, foreign
levy or the dagger of the assassin has
done its work.
Indeed, the attack on the Spanish
garrison at Melilla may be the begin
ming of the end. Spain has long occu-
pied Ceuta, an important position on
the Moorish coast, as we'll as Melilla,
between Tangier and Gran, used as
convict settlement. The construction
of new fort at Melilla evoked the
anger of the fanatical Riffians who in
habit the adjacent mountains, and a
protracted and bloody engagement fol-
lowed. The Riffians, maddened by their
repulse, have since been preaching
holy war, while the Spanish govern
ment has reinforced MeIilla with troops
and guns, and made demands upon
Mulai-al-Hassan. which can only be
secured by force. This means pro-
tracted war, and in the end the dis
memberment of the sultan's empire.

she might prove victorious. Snain

masters. The trade and commerce OF
the country are mainly in their hands,

by the MOorS, and subjected to every
Imaginable Insult and degradation. they

members of society that a law is act

leave the country under any circum-
stances. Outside of a few coast towns
they are treated worse than brutes, and
when 1t lies in their power they retaliate
with great cruelty. This, thanks to
their superior cunning in money

Imprisonment of a man until his debt is

The present time the prisons of Morocco
are filled with Moors confined for debts
owed TO Jews. On the other hand a
Moor does not scrupie TO kill a Jew
when he can do so quietly. The Jews
are not allowed TO carry arms and must
make all journeys on foot, and outside
OF their own quarter, where they are
herded like animals, they must go bare
rooted. 1ney cannot build places of
worship and their dress is rigidly regu-
lated so that they may always be known
from the true believers at a glance.
When Jew meets a Moor he must
promptly turn aside so as not to touch
the garments of a follower of the
prophet, and under no circumstances
can he enter street where mosque is
situated. Punishment for the disregard
of any of these laws is most
cruel, ranging from bastinadoing to
death by ire. Still, strange to

of Morocco a hundred fold. She
has millions and millions of tons of
copper ore which only await the pick of
the miner to be transmitted into gold;
her woods of argand could furnish oil
enough to supply all Europe; her flocks
and herds could be enormously in
creased; her annual exports raised from
SS,000.000 to 500, 100000, and her soil,
which now barely gives sustenance to

be made to support IN comfort popula-

upon which all who have Travelled III
Morocco are to be found in complete
and perfect accord. 1t is, then. not a

nations of South Europe are anxious 10
prevent before it is too late the complete
ruin of noble country and the final
extinction of a EoDle race.
For 1000 years Morocco has occupied
unique place in the history of the
world. As Mauritania Tingitana it was
long one of the richest provinces of the
Roman empire. Its Inhabitants, the
warlike Mauri, were the ancestors OF
the fierce and naughty Berbers of the
present day. But once during 800 years

Sophia nor the far-famed Taj-Mahal
of India, can be more highly considered
as works of art than many of the
sculptured dOOrwayS of Fee, which for
i've centuries have been gathering the
dust and sand OF the desert, and whose
beauty has still not been obiiterated.
Fee had once high title to renown In its
schools which carried far the fame of
Moorish learning at time when Europe
was still sunk In ignorance and barbar-
ism. Then the inhabitants of Fee boast
ed with just pride that the renown of
Its learning had drawn students to it
from all parts Of the world. But this is
all over now. The supremacy of Moor
lsh learning like that of Moorish arms
has passed away never to return.
Though the once famous college of Fee
still exists and within its cTumbling
walls few ''learned Mohammedan ooc-
toIs" still keep up faint semblance of
teaching, their instructions are confined
to the Koran, and the few students they
gather about them serve only 10 make
more manifest the utter collapse of the
ancient greatness of this Moslem uni
versity.
