Worried Over Alleged French-Span-
ish Secret Treaty.

ricnn Explorer.

Recent events in Morocco have fully
confirmed the information forwarded
to the New York Times that risings
are being prepared there which must
ultimately lead 20 the intervention
of France and perhaps Spain. And in
this connection the rumors of Sc
cret treaty between France and Spain,
with view to combined action in Mo-
rocco, are becoming more and more
persistent. Jean Hess, the well-known
explorer and expert on colonial mat
tiers, who has just returned from Mo-
rocco, has communicated some par
ticulars to the Times correspondent
which represent the situation in sin
gularly startling light. To the exist
ence of this alleged Franco-Spanish
treaty NJ. Hess attributes the ex-
traordinary favor now being shown
to Spanish exteriors in the Paris
financial market.
The terms of the division of Morocco
between France and Spain are, NJ. Hess
says, as follows: Spain to have the
portion of Morocco comprisedbetween
l Vic 1C1t O0uh VI IAC N1OulOulu uAlN VAO
southern coast of the Sabou basin; the
rest to belong to France. The Span
iards wanted the Triffa plain and the
greater portion of that splendid shore
line of the Kiss, where Frenchman,
NJ. Say, is establishing port, and it
needed the intervention of very emil
aent colonial authority in the French
parliament to secure the frontier of
the Moulouia for France. This same
parsonage, who, with the rest of the
colonial party, was deeply d;spleased
with the Siamese treaty, had, to be
Modified by the assurance on NJ. Del
casse's part that Morocco would soon
be Joined to Algeria, and that Spain
would consent to this junction to Ora

with Great Britain and the abandon
ment of the traditional French policy
in Egypt will result from this great
deal for the possession of Morocco, as
to the success of which NJ. Delcasse
is said to feel assured.
Having just arrived from Morocco,
M. Hess declares, in further support
of the foregoing statements, that he
has positive and personal knowledge
that the Spaniards are instigating
among the tribes of the Riff a constant
agitation against the sultan, and sup
ply them with arms. On the other
hand, the exploitation of agricultural
products is forbidden by the Melilla,
and in this way the Berber population
is prevented from settling down to
peaceable occupations. NJ. Hess was
refused by his own government au-
thorization to purchase cereals on the
Kiss shore and embark them at Port
Say for Algeria and abroad.
In conclusion Nj. Hess expresses the
opinion that, commercially speaking,
the position of France with respect to
Morocco is all that can be desired, and
that the pacific conquest of the mar
kets of Morocco by France is perfectly
feasible. The true policy, he says,
would be to break with the Franco
Spanish agreement, and to work on the
development of economic relations
between Morocco and Algeria.

premature. 1t is customary in all such
cases to consult the foreign govern
ment before an appointment is made,
and this, unfortunately, was omitted
in regard to Mr.. Barrett. The Japan
csc minister did not, of course, forlnu-
late any charges, and according to
usage he was neither expected nor re-
quired to.
There are peculiar relations between
Japan and Siam. 1t is said that MIR.
Barrett, while minister to Siam, trod
on the toes of the japanese govern
ment in some way, and later on, in q
lecture or interview in this country,
made some references to the empire
of Japan which left sore spot over
there.
John Barrett, now serving as COM
missioner general to Asia and Aus
| tralia for the st. Louis exposition, is
eminent as writer and lecturer upon
eastern questions. Prior to his ap-
pointment by President Cleveland in
1894 as United States minister to Siam
he had made special study of the
possibilities of trade with the orient,
and it was in recognition of this work
that he was Endorsed by both parties in
Oregon, Washington and California
for a high place in the Asiatic diplo-
matte service.
During his term of office he Travelled
extensively in China, Japan, Korea, ST.
IBERIA, Java and the Philippines, study
ing commercial opportunities for the
United States and embodying the re-
suits of his investigations in official
reports, which have always been re-
garded as of great value.

out if, under all the circumstances, Mr..
Roosevelt desires to keep Gen. Smith in
the army. He wishes it understood
that he does not intend to precipitate
any contest with the president and will
only move in Gen. Smiths behalf be-
cause he thinks an injustice has been
done and because a large number of
army officers support him in this view.
Senator Hanna will confer with Gen.
Chaffee in Cleveland within few days
in regard to the case and will be guild
ed largely by his opinion. Inasmuch as
the general, since his return from the
Philippines, has expressed the opinion
that Gen. Smiths campaign in Samar
was no more severe than the circum-
stances warranted, it is altogether
probable that he will urge Senator
Hanna to move for reinstatement.
Gen. Smith has already said that his
orders from Gen. Chaffee were even
more vigorous than he himself is cred
tied with giving, and it is known that
the two officers stand together on the
case.
Senator Hanna will not introduce his
bill until he has become convinced that
a majority of his republican colleagues
will support the measure.

Auditory organ In Leg.

One of the strangest and most unex.
pected of uses to which one could i'm.
agine leg being put is that of an or
gan of hearing. Yet such seems to be
one at least of the functions of the
forelegs in the cricket. On the outer
side of a tibia a small oval space may
be seen, in which the strong armature
which covers the rest of the body is
reduced to a thin and membranous con-
dition, making thus sort of window.
or drumhead. Communica ting with
this, inside the leg, are the ends of q
nerve, and it can hardly be doubted,
therefore, that the whole apparatus
constitutes an auditory organ.

LOOKS LIKE "A CAGE.
Pulpit Used BY whitefeld in His
Travels from Home.
FanouS Relic II Vow Preserved In
New York Clty-Its AutheHticity

table Evidence.

Visitors at the rooms OF the Ameri-
can Tract society in Nassau street,
New York, lately have been confront
ed by queer sort Of wooden cage on
stilt-like legs. Those who looked.tw twice
saw tackled on it this sign: George
Whitefeld's Pulpit
This pulpit, says the New York Sun,
Is one Of the most highly priced rel
les of the American Tract society.
For years it has not been put on any
thing like public view, but it has been
kept none the less carefully on that
account.
The frame of the pulpit is about six
I feet high, with the floor of the pulpit
about three feet from the ground. The
wood is said to be black walnut, but
age and successive coats of paint, stain
and varnish have done much to hide its
identity.
The most striking feature of the pull
pit is the number of hasps, hooks and
hinges which bind its frame. Those
who have charge of the relic are quick
to call attention to. this fact and to
offer the explanation that the pulpit
is$of the folding variety. It was con-
4 structed in that way SO that it could
easily be carried in q wagon or even
by strong man.
The identity of the pulpit as White
fields is not questioned by those who
now have it, although they have no
!. available data concerning its move
ments after Whitefeld died in ITO.
Rev. DIR. Charles S. Robinson, the IA
nous hymn writer, who died only a
few years ago, said that it was well
authenticated as Whitefield's travel
ing pulpit-that which he carried with
him and from which he was wont to adj
dress the thousands that focked to
hear his voice.

dispute with Wesley, brought to him
larger audiences than he got over in
the colonies in America, and it is
thought that he did not bring the
travelling pulpit here. At any rate,
according to the testimony of the old
est living officer of the American Tract
society, the pulpit was presented to
the society some time before 1880 by
man who picked it up while travelling
in England.
It has been exhibited only few
times in this country, once at the Cen
tennial exhibition at Philadelphia in
1876 and again at the worlds fair at
Chicago in 1898.
Whitefeld came to America seven
times in all, his death occurring on his
seventh visit, while he was at New
buryport, Mass. The first time he
came here he went to Georgia at the
request of the Wesleys. On his other
visits he preached mainly in the New
England colonies, where, on several oc-
casions, he was not allowed to use reg
ularly assigned pulpits because their
occupants looked with extreme dis
favor on his evangelical ideas. This
fact has led to the belief that perhaps
he did bring his own pulpit here.
All of the historians agree as to the
power of Whitefield's voice. It seems
not unlikely that he was accustomed
to emphasize his utterances by pound
ing the frail structure of his pulpit.
for it now bears traces of having been
used vigorously. The wood has been
cracked and Clipped off around the
fastenings of the upper railing, as if
some heavy hand had once marked the
time of his creed upon it.
