will Open Coast Trade.

Washington, Nov, 1.-The State Depart ment has been informed by Consul-Gen- eral Gummere at Tangier, under date or October 5, that the Sultan of Morocco has decided to open the coast trade In his country, so as to permit grain. fowls. vegetables and other articles of food to be transported freely from port to port. Heretofore there has been tartn which prevented such trade. The Consul-Gen- eral says there have been times when barley and wheat became so scarce at Tangier as to bring exorbitant prices. while further down the coast, at Casa Blanca and Saffi where the land Is re- markedly fertile, grain was so cheap as not to pay for the cost of it's reaping and was allowed to remain in the field. yet not a bushel of it was permitted to be transported to any other port by sea, the only practical route.

MEETING OF CABINET.
The Question of Recess Appointments
 is Considered.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The cabinet meet ing today was devoted largely to the con sideration of the recess appointments which the President must send to Con gress when it convenes next month. The President is going carefully over these appointments with the members of the cabinet.
 Secretary Gage reported his action in resumng the purchase of bonds which was responded to this morning with an offer of over s900,000. No announcement was made as to the length of time the purchase Is to continue.
 The cabinet also discussed the abroga- tion of the so-called Browning Indian School ruling but no further action was taken. Secretary Hitchcock explained the situation and said that if the abrogation proved tc be a disadvantage to the Indian children or detrimental to their best in- terests he would recall it and re-establish the Browning ruling which directed that Indian Agents first. should build up and maintain the government day schools and declared that the Indian parents have no right to designate which school their case. however" according to this ruling, where you (the aeertsi thirk 1t advis- able to follow the wishes of the parents. that is left entirely to your own good judgment"
 The abrogation of the ruling already has caused numerous inoutries Of the h. terior Department. SThe Bureau of Cath oIic Missions .has been fighting for the abrogation ever since the ruling was made
 Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones has strenuously opposed the abrogation hut finally after a full discussion with Socretarv Hitchcock, agreed to abrogate it tentatively with the distinct under standing that 1t could he re-established If found advisa ble

FRENCH FLEET IS FEN ROUTE.
Report That It Had Returned to
 Toulon is Incorrect.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The dispatch from Tou. lon announcing the return of Admiral Gaillard's division of the French Medi- terranean squadron to that port, proves to be incorrect.
 The officials of the Foreign Ohice today Informed the Associated Press that the Admiral has not returned, and that the facts set forth In these dispatches yester- day are correct.
 The admiral is now on his way to Tur-. kish waters.
 The incorrect announcement from Tou- Ion of the return of Admiral Gaillards division which created great sensation, enamated from the correspondent of a well-known news agency. The explana- ton Is that Admiral Maigret, commander of the Mediterranean fleet, returned to Toulon at o'clock yesterday evening with all his vessels except those belong ing to Admiral Gaillard's division.
 The correspondent of the news agency referred to misconstrued the vessels, ow- ing to the darkness.
 A corrected list of Admiral Gaillards s ships Is now published. The list cabled yester day was that of his ordinary light division, but 1t appears that special squadron was formed. composed of the battleships Gaulois and Charlemagne, the cruisers Admiral Pothuau, Chanzey and Calico and two torpedo boat destroyers of the Hallabardee type.

 to Nervous Strain

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 1.--James Callahan. on trial for perjury in the Cudahy kd- hopping case. gave way today to the ner- voue strain under which he has labored, and had to be removed from tho court room, and court adjourned.
 The prisoner had been considerably re- duced in flesh. and the s.fain for the past ten months has brought has nerve sys- tenn almost to point of collapse.
 Young Cudahv continued his narrative of the kidpaping today. going over the entire case. The defense, on cross-exami' nation. tried 70 show that the boy was addicted to excessive cigarette smoking. and was therefore unable to give clear version of the kidnapping.
 Chief Donahue swore to Callahan's ar- rest and statement that he could prove an alibi. Court then adjourned until 2 o'clock t3 await the result of Callahan's illness.
 When court convened this afternoon Callahan was still in nervous state and but few witnesses were examined. Their testimony was a repetition of that given at the first trial. P. J. MoGrath, who ac- compsnied MT. Cadahy the night he de- posted the money on tho Center Street road was ceiled and told of that eyentful trip.
 Callahan's illness this morning began with a nervous chill. He became much excited when young Cudahy reasserted his recognition of the prisoner as one of the abductors who thrust the pistol Tn the witnesss face and almost fainted. Ills physicians fear Q collapse of his nervous system.

THE ARMY WELL FED
REPORT OF CoMMIssARY GEN.
 ERAL OF SUBSISTENCE.
United States Troops in China and the Philippines Always Fully
 Supplied-No Difficulties of ! Distributing Food.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The report or General John F. Weston, Commissary- General of Subsistence, shows that tne total expenditures for subsistence ol the army during the fiscal year were slo'oAz'- tsS An interesting feature Of the report Is statement from Colonel WoooruH' Chief Commissary. formerly in the Fhi- lppines, in which he says; During the first months of the period covered by this report stores here had for various causes become greatly reduced, but owing to the grand response made by the Commissary- General to every call from this office and the energetic purchasing of commissaries In San Francisco and New York, this was speedily corrected and this division was soon supplied as no other army of its size has been ever supplied in the worlds his- tory.
 During the period covered by this re- port the command to be supplied extend- ed from the great wall of China on the north to the island of Borneo on the south and the island of Guam on the east. There were 4S0 stations in this arr chipelago, besides the troops in China and the prisoners in Guam.
 "In addition to the 6s,000 troops and 5000 officers in this division, the 5ubsist- ence Department supplied the delicacies for the sick rations for 4,000 prisoners of war, 1,S00 marines, many of the stores Of the navy rations for 1000 civilian em- ployes and sales stores of the army, navy and marine officers, Philippine Commis-' sion and attaches and Americans em- ployed by the army and Government in it's Treasury, Postoffice, Interior and Ed ucational Departments, metropolitan po- lice, native police and scouts, transports, etc.
 Tn other words, nearly 100000 persons, occupying country almost destitute of vegetables and other food supplies suit able for Americans, were supplied largely from single base, 1000 miles distant. After the stores reached Manila they had been landed in small cases and then dis tributed on short railroads. poled up mar row rivers, and by wagons and carabo carts along almost bottomless roads, by pack mules and coolies over mountain trails, often through a hostile country, and some of the posts. supplied were more distant, in point of time, from Manila than is the capital of our own country"
 Colonel Woodruff says that during the period covered by the report 35,000 men have been returned to the United States and about IS, S,000 have arrived in the Phil lppines, and that not serious complaint has been received concerning the food supply. There have been received at the Manila department 116,554,S30 pounds of ration articles and 62, 2,44996 pounds of sale stores. There have been shipped from this department 11.77l, 5o9 pounds of ration articles and 57,02261 pounds of salt stores. There has been some deteriora- tion of stores due to poor storage and climatic conditions.
 General Weston's report deals quite ex- tensively with the Chinese campaign and quotes from officers who were in that ex- petition to show the troops were well supplied.

The Question of Indemnity.

Washington Nov. I.-Some surprIse Ia expressed here at the extent to which the question of indemnity in Miss Stone s case is being discussed In the European papers, The United States Government so far has directed its efforts solely to procuring Miss Stones release, and there is good reason for the statement that all other questions connected with the case. including that of possible indemnity, have been regarded az secondary and laid aside for further discussion. This is almost necessary in the case. owing to the fact that in the present light the State Department cannot place the res- ponsib bility for Miss Stones capture and detention. Further evidence must be had on that point.
