RERIIN: June IS The crisis in the al
fairs of Europe caused by the death OF sui
tan Mulay Hassen, and the strong feeling
aroused in certain quarters in regard TO
the succession TO the sultanate of his son,
Abdul Aziz, has served to focus the feeling
of antagonism towards England, which
has been especially noticeable. and which
has grown in strength ever since the an
pouncement of the conclusion or the An
elo-Cougo treaty. As evidence or thls
feeling gainst England, it Is believed 1t Is
the discrimination of the German govern
ment not to take part in any naval DEM
onstration which the other powers may
contemplate making upon the coast OF
Morocco. OF course should German inter
es:s be menaced by any outcome OF the
disputes which have arisen since the
death of the sultan, the emperor may be
compelled to send feet to Morocco. but,
according 20 present indications, there VIII
be no necessity for such step, as the Ter
man diplomats are confident that the rival
interests of the western powers Will ensure
their neutrality

semi-officialy remarks; although Ger

ing TO the eyentuality of the transfer of
Morocco to European power the Gazette

cent experience with English and
Spanish diplomacy in connection with the
Congo agreement and commercial treaty,

otherwise. It is time that Germany

A CLEVER DISCOVERY.
The discovery of the wholesale forgeries
# the United States bills and Bank of
England notes at Hamburg, was directly
due to the smartness of Edward Schwab,
second officer of the Ham burgAmerican
steamship Russia. Schwab, before his APP
pointmen5 on the Russia, became &C
uuaiRted with man named Tkies. \
partner in the bankrupt Hamburg firm
of Thies & Meyerheim Thies made
mysterious proposals to Schwab, limiting
at the possibility of the easy acquisition of
n handsome income. Schwab became in
terested in Thies and visited the latter's
nomicile at Hamburg, where he
noticed printing press. Schwab
thought very little about the matter for
a long time .afterward and would probably
have allowed it to escape his memory en-
tirely had it not been for the fact that a
brother officer on the Russia happened to
mention to him that Thies had made pro
posals to HIM to circulate forged United
States bills in America. This proposition
was Indignantly rejected. Schwab there
upon decided TO investigate the matter
thoroughly and the arrest of the culprits
followed.
