responsible for the European tendencies of the latter. Indeed, whatever reforms Abdul has inaugurated may be credited to Maclean. It galled the Scotchman to hear the criticisms of Morocco's prison system made by travellers. When man was in prison, he had to get his food the best way he could or starve. Consequently the prisoners were de- pendent for their sustenance upon aims. This has been changed, and. strange to say, this is one of the causes of the present discontent in Morocco, the provincial governors declaring that their people should not be taxed for the support of malefactors. SBut the. real cause of the uprising is Muley Moham- med. The soldier who is leading the revolution declares that he has no de- sire to occupy the throne h1mseI; ne merely wants it for Mohammed,- Who has been in prison for several years. Of course this is a joke, but 1t IS taken seriously in Morocco. The sultan. as an evidence of his greatness" thought he could immediately quell the rebellion by ordering the release of his brother and his restoration to the prerogatiyes of his rank. Now he simply has one more leader against him..
 The pretext upon which the malcon- tents seized for raising the standard of revolt was the execution in the presence of the sultan himself of a Moroccan who murdered an English missionary. Here the fine Italian hand Of Maclean was suspected, and probably With good reason. The act was simple justice, too, but the agitators seized upon it as eyl- dence of the dominating influence or Europe, and there is no telling where 1t will all end, though it is generally con- ceded that the ultimate solution of the Moroccan problem will be found in the dividing up of the country among the European nations, with a government consisting of sort of joint pfotecto- rate.

 It is a mistake, though, to assume that Devery has no political influence; what have said is that he is supposed to have none. Furthermore, his infiu- ence is of the sort which is susceptible of being gauged in advance almost to a vote. There are even conditions under which Devery might within an incredi- bly short time become a national figure in politics. For instance, assume that a national election is at hand; Devery has been turned down by Tammany, as usual; New York is declared by both parties to be the pivotal state; is it not easy to see of what importance the sev- eral thousands of votes which Devery can direct as absolutely as he directs his own will become in such a con- -tingency? ...'-E-r
