His latest achievement was at the
twelfth "annuel" OF the Rayensbourns

aud A. A. Green. eeven seconds, third.
E. @. Smith, champion of London, 13
eeconds, could not do better than fourth.
On August 25th, at the Southport re.

Muley Hassan, the Sultan OF Morocco, died
q few days ago, while journeying between
Marakesh and Rabat. Everything is quie.
for the moment, but the latest ad.
vices say that an uprising is ex-
pected throughout the country as re-
suit OF the death OF the Sultan. No details
az to the cause OF death can be procured, but
many sensational rumors are in circulation,
and it is openly limited that the Sultan was
murdered. One report says that the Sultan
and Casa Blanca, and that his son. Abdul
Aziz, was shortly afterwarl proclaimed Sui
tan by the army and by the Ministers who
accompanied the late Sultan on his
tourney, The latest dispatches from Moroc-
co say that Muley Hassan died Of malignant
fever. His successor, Mulai Abdul, Is six
teen wears old. He Is the son OF the old Sui
tan's favorite wife, a Circassian woman.
The old Sultan's famous one-eyed son, the
first born of his numerous children, is al
ready regarded rs a pretender, and 1t is
feared that he will take advantage OF the
first opportunity to incite the people to rise
in his behalf.
Muley Hassan. the late Sultan Of Morocco,
was born in 1881, and succeeded to the throne
September 25 1873 His sudden death Is
likely to aggravate the friction that has long
existed between the barbaric nation and Eu-
ropean powers. The latest ENHANCEMENT
was that in which Spain became involved
with Muley Hassan's subjects. the Riff tribes.
This resulted in an expedition and sharp
fighting, and finally Muley agreed to punish
the Rifians and pay an indemnity. he hadn't
paid this at the time OF his sudden taking of.
The power of the Sultan OF Morocco was OF
an indefinite character among the distant
tribesmen, and the result had been numer-
GUS disputes with foreign powers. In 1886
he refused to continue the European COM
mercial treaties. The policy Of the country
adopted on this occasion was generally OBJ
served by other nations. In 1889 Muley sent
a special mission TO European nations, That
year he issued proclamation, forbidding
assaults on Christians. Muley Hassan
was q handsome man OF the Orien-
tai type. His court was noted for
its splendor and luxury. Aside from
the romantic interest vi his nation, his
country had additional interest from the
anxiety OF European nations to take part
in its dismemberment when the times were
ripe therefor.
