FRANCE PLANS TO
ANNEX MOROCCO
Great Britain, It Is Said, Has With
drawn Her Opposition
to the Move.

Paris, Sept 17.-Preparations are al
ready we'll advanced for the next war Of
conquest in which a great power will en-
gage. The French government has de-
terrnined to conquer and annex Morocco,
and operations on an extensive scale
probably will be begun within a few
weeks.
This ambition Of France is, of course,
we'll known and well understood. What is
not well known and will not be easily I'M
derstood is that Great Britain has con-
scented to stand aside and to abandon her
almost traditional attitude of protection
for the royal prerogatives of the sultan Of
this African kingdom. Less than ten years
ago Great Britain would not have hest
tated to have made war with France, il
necessary, in defense Of the integrity Of
Morocco.
The explanation of this radical change
of policy upon the part Of Great Britain
is partially clear. It has at first glance
the appearance of another cave and z
weak one at that. It's motive, however
is undoubtedly the new effort which Brit
ain is making to divorce France from hel
alliance with Russia.
The concession was made by the Brit
ish authorities at the time of the visit Of
President Loutet to the king in last July
and NJ Delcasse brought back with hin
to Paris the consent Of, Lord Lansdownt
as the greatest coup of his administra
ton. IL

Upton BETTER
Tive Been an Awfully Sick Man,
but I'm Easier Now Says
Sir Thomas.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Sir Thomas Upton,
who is i'll of catarrhal appendicitis, in his
apartments at the Auditorium Annex
passed a quiet night and is doing well,
according to a statement made by DR..
Thomas this morning. To Alexander H.
Reveu, Sir Thomas host, who was an
early caller, the patient said:
1--WE been an awfully sick man, but I'm
easier now
Mr. Revell said he considered the
patients condition very encouraging. DR..
Thomas spent the night in a room Of the
Upton suite, but aside from ordinary
sickroom duties, there was no urgent need
for his services
A number of messages of sympathy from
New York friends were received during
the night and read with pleasure by the
recipient when he awoke this morning.
At $50 a. m. the patient had fallen asleep
again. Mr.. Reyell stated that probably
there would be no further formal consul
tations Of the physicians unless the unex-
pected in the form of a change for the
worse occurred.
It is still believed that an operation will
be unnecessary.
The condition OF Sir Thomas continued
to improve during the forenoon. At moor
DR.. Homer M. Thomas gave out the fol
lowing statement:
"Sir Thomas is resting much easier thi
morning and his condition is now perfectl.
satisfactory.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Five wives of Har-

heard from-sat in the states attorneys
offices yesterday and exchanged remin-
iscences of married life. Then, just for
'.auld lang synes sake, three of the
quintet completed the afternoons diver

ing to their husband thru the bars OF
his cell.
OF the five wives already in attendance
for their spouse's coming bigamy trial
none Insists on being called Mrs.
Mills In Pittsburg, Detroit, Chicago
st. Louis, Cincinnati, and each Of two
other Ohio towns has been found a
woman who claimed the nirnble Harold
as husband. However, they are mod
estly waiting the appearance of Mrs.
Mills the first and they suspect that
she and several other sister wives are
still to be heard from.
Mills real name is said to be Henry
Marietta. He Is credited with a prison
record at Columbus, Ohio, for burglary,
horse stealing and larceny. In Chicago
he operated a "home purchasing bureau"
and was fairly successful until he took
Miss Laura Stricken, a Y. M. c. A. girl,
to the Newport hotel one evening.

belonging to- the Steel corporations, when
there is still two and a half months OF
the shipping season remaining would
seem at first blush to be serious for the
trust, but iron and vessel men do not
take that view of it. They say that there
are in the lake trade to-day one-third
more vessels than there is business for.
Vessels are being greatly delayed both
at lower lake ports and at upper lake
harbors while unloading, and there is an
almost constant congestion of boats, the
supply being so much more than the deck
facilities can care for. ..~
Round trips to-day run several days
longer than they did few years ago,
when the boats were fewer. In addition
to this, there is as yet no grain move
ment, whereas the shipping Of new grain
is usually two weeks under way at this
time. This keeps a larger number of
boats in the ore trade than is usual.
The Steel corporation last year shipped
one third more ore down the lakes than
the necessities of it's furnaces demanded.
It's shipments this year have been some
what ahead of last years 1t still has
ore to ship, but 1t can get plenty Of boats
outside of its own fleet to carry it and
about as cheap as its own boats could.
For these reasons it is held that the
steel trust will not suffer much, and YES
sci men say that the effect will possibly
be to give better rates for grain carrying
and a better dispatch of boats, a condi-
ton which they view with anything but
alarm.
| Another phase of the situation is as t.
| the possible action of the government
Mates are licensed and under the ruling:

boats because the master of some othel
boats was not a member Of some or.
ganization would be action hinderint
commerce and subjecting them to a re
vocation Of their licenses. It is reported
! that all of the mates leaving are max
ing the excuse that they are sick.

Sharpsburg, Md, Sept. 17.--Under
lowering skies the magnificent monument
erected on the historic battlefield at An
tietam by the state Of New Jersey to its
men who fell in that great engagement
was dedicated to-day. The occasion was
rendered particularly notable by the pres
ence of the President Of the United States
and of Governor Murphy, the chief ex-
ecutive of the state which was honoring
it's heroes.
The special train bearing the president,
Governor Murphy and their party, arrived
here at $40 o'clock. Governor Murphy
was accompanied by Senators Kean and
Dryden, by several prominent state Off
Gals and by his entire staff. Special
trains bearing nearly a thousand New
Jersey survivors of the civil war arrived
shortly after. The trip Of the president
from Jersey City was devoid of special
incident. Many stops were made and Sc
cret service officers were on guard thru
out the night.
After daylight crowds assembled at
every station to greet the president. He
appeared first on the rear platform of his
private car at Chambersburg, Pa, shortly
after 7 o'clock, but simply greeted the
crowd cordially. At Hagerstown, Md,
where the train was switched from the
Cumberland Valley railroad to the Nor
folk & Western, the president left his
breakfast table and his breakfast guests,
Governor Murphy, Senators Kean and
Dryden, to address the throng Of several
hundred people. He said: -
Roosevelt Talks to Crowd.
II am on my way to accept on behalf OF
the United States government the monu-
ment erected to the New Jersey troops

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Sept. 17.-President Roose-
welt has determined to ask congress to
authorize the transfer of the government
printing office to the jurisdiction and con-
troll Of the department of commerce and
labor.
A quiet investigation into the manage
ment of the big printing establishment
has been going on for several months I'M
der the direction Of Secretary Cortelyou,
and enough information has been secured
to convince the president that the most
radical reforms should be inaugurated in
the printing office as soon as possible.
A great mass Of statistics showing the
cost of printing has been gathered, to-
gether with information showing the
methods of work, and this, it is believed,
will demonstrate to congress the necessity
for placing the establishment under the
supervision of an executive department.
Miller makes Good
The Investigation ordered by the presi-
dent was based upon certain statements
made by W. A. Miller. The assistant
foreman, who declared that the cost of
the work in the bindery was excessive,
and who also offered to show that in other
branches of the printing office there was
room for improvement. Miller's charges
led to an inquiry, which showed that they
were based on fact.
SECRETARY aCOFCelyOu UISH began TO col
lect additional information which the pres
ident desired. This investigation had not
proceeded very far before it was evident
that thousands of dollars had been wasted
in the management of the printing office.
The plan Of having publications printed
by the government printing office is fol-
lowed by nearly all departments, which
receive from congress each year a certain
allowance for printing and binding.
The Unions Influence.
| When printing is to be done, the head
of a department gets from the public
printer an estimate, and if the work Is
ordered, the cost is charged against the
account, of the department. In many case!
the departments could have saved money
by getting their printing done by privat.
firms One reason for the increased cos
| at the government printing office is de
clared to be the fact that the labor organ
liza tons have dictated the amount of worl
4 to be turned out In the various branche
| of the office, and have thus reduced tn
output of the force without reducing tn
cost of operation.

New York. Sept. 17.-When President
Roosevelt jumped to the wharf at Ellis
Island from the immigration cutter H. B.
Chamberlain and ran forward TO shake
hands with Commissioner General Frank
p. Sargent, yesterday, a powerful gust
caught the skirts of his frock coat and
Whirled them against the back Of his
head. E,s s...
Those standing behind the president
saw sticking out Of his right hip pocket
the handle of big revolver. One Of the
secret service men quickly restored the
skirts Of the presidents coat to their
proper place, but the momentary glimpse
the spectators had convinced those famil-
far with such matters that the handle in
dicated a weapon Of heavy calibre.
Those unfamiliar with the president 8
custom wondered why he should go armed
when on mission so peaceful as an In
spection Of ELLIS Island. 1t was explained
by one Of the secret service men, how
ever, that the president Invariably carried
revolver when he went to a public place:
The president has carried a pistol
ever since he took the oath of office, af-
ter the assassination Of Mckinley. He
has the greatest faith in the ability of the
dozen or. more secret service agents who
guard him, but prefers to be armed him
self In case OF emergency. His most in
Innate friends have known of his prac-
tice of carrying a six-sEooter, but some
OF the secret service men locker surprised
when they saw the handle protrudins
from the presidents pocket.

The pistol is the black handled blue
steel, 3S calibre revolver which he car.
ried when with his Rough Riders in Cuba
1t Is the same with which he shot Span
lard, as he tells In his history of tn,

ticed faithfully with his revolver until h,
became an excellent marksman. Sine,
