Washington, Nov. 1.-THE govern
ment of Morocco has again declined
to meet the demands of the United
States for the payment of the indem-
nifty on account of the killing by a
mob, of Marcus Essagin, a naturaliz-
ed American. The last request made
by Consul Gunmere brings the latest
declination of the government of Mo-
rocco, accompanied by an imitation
Of its freedom from liability under the
terms of the convention between Mo-
rocco and Spain. The state depart
ment comes to the conclusion that
the consul's representations would be
more effective if he is supported NOR
ally by the presence in Moroccan
waters of a United States warship,
and it is probable that he will make
a visit to Fez to again present the
case as passenger on vessel to be
selected by the navy department for
that purpose.

given by the campaign has done good,
rather than harm. The danger now
is that with the check removed there

and became newspaper reporter and
continued in that profession until
in 1868. EARLY in 1881 Mr.. Willard

quishing that post in 1871. In the
latter year while on visit to Europe
Mr.. Willard began his railroad career.
In the panic of 1893 Mr.. Willard occa-
stoned the loss of most of his fortune
