dream which is the theme of many French
writers and public speakers-namely, the con-
version of the Mediterranean into great
French lake. The powerful colonial party at
Paris makes no secret Of its determination to
secure the Moorish empire, and the activity OF
its intrigues in the Sultanate led some time ago
the Prime Minister of Spain to announce in the
course of a public speech in Madrid that his
government would oppose any attempt on the
part Of France to annex the Moorish empire

them resolved that under circumstances shall
France obtain such a foothold in Morocco as

France is equally determined that neither Spain

It is recognized that any power that interfered
in his troubles with his rebellious subjects would
inevitably retain a predominant influence in the
country, and that is just the one thing which
the powers cannot afford to permit on the part
of any Of their number. So Sultan Muley Abdul
Assz is left to face his foes alone, and to either
give up his throne and his life or else to win
back the good will of his people by showing
himself the iercest and most intolerant fanatic

Europe-for the northern coast of Morocco is
within plain sight of the Rock Of Gibraltar
slave markets and other features of Oriental
barbarism remain undisturbed to this day, the
conditions Of life in this particular corner of
Africa having continued to all intents and pur-
poses unchanged for 1000 years past Indeed,
one IS sometimes tempted to doubt the sincerity
and good faith of the great powers of the world
in their campaign against the slave trade in
other portions of the Dark Continent, when they
allow International jealousies to interfere with
their lifting single finger toward the suppress
sion of the slave mart in Morocco or with their
helping the young Sultan in his efforts to rescue
his country from the gIoon1iest depths of ORR
entail and medieval savagery.
1t is this jealousy which renders every political
crisis in Morocco a matter Of acute anxiety 70
all those statesmen who are intrusted with the
conduct of the foreign relations Of their re-
spectfve countries in Europe. Lord Salisbury,
who at the present moment is the veteran of
them all in his wide experience and profound
knowledge of diplomacy and foreign affairs has
declared on several occasiOns-once shortly be-
fore his resignation of the British Premiership
last autumn-that the question which would
bring on the long expected and much dreaded
outbreak of war between the great powers Of
the Old World would be in connection neither
with China nor Egypt, nor yet the Balkans or
Asia Minor, but Morocco OF far graVer i'm

In the case of most great international con-
hicts there is usually a possibility or aVertlns
actual hostilfties by means Of mediation, OF ne
gotiation and of arbitration But with regard to
the Moorish problem there can be no question
of an international conference, for the only
practical proposal to submit to congress or this
kind would be the naturalization Of the Strait
of Gibraltar a matter which It would be pre-
posterous even to consider unless England con-
sented to relinquish her rocky stronghold Of
Gibraltar which is out of the question That is
why an international conference on the Moorish
question is so iupracticable that the very idea
thereof is scoffed at by Old World statesmen.

who professed such anxiety for his Introduction
of Western reforms in China to restore him to
power and to punish those who have prevented
him from carrying out his projects On the
contrary. II is with the Empress Dowager, that
is, with bis jailer, that they treat and who
conducts the intercourse with the foreign envoy
at Pekng.
The present Sultan of Morocco is undergoing
a similar experience. He, too. in spite Of his
more or less authentic descent from a member
of the Prophets family, has during the few
years that have elapsed since his accession to
the throne distinguished himself by his predilec-
ton for Western progress and enlightenment
He showed a marked liking for the society Of
foreigners, is a wonderfully clever and success
ful amateur photographer, and has even become
a victim to the fascnations of the automobile
This was bad enough in all conscience in the
eyes Of his people But when he took 1t into his
head to put g few Of his subjects to death
short time ago for the murder Of Christian
missionary, the more devout Of his subjects
became convinced that he was possessed Of the
devil, that he was longer fitted to rule over
them. and accordingly rose in revolt with the
object of depriving him of his throne and Of
procIainling MS one-eyed brother Sultan in
his stead.
Muley Abdul Aziz is therefore at the present
moment confronted with the alternative OF
either losing his sceptre or else Of re-estabish-
ing his hold on the loyalty and the confidence
Of his people by renouncing all his synpathles
with foreign ideas, reforms and innovations,
and by proving to his lieges that he Is as fanatic
a Mahometan and bitterly opposed to un-
believers as any Of his predecessors on the
Moorish throne. AS none Of the foreign powers
are taking any steps to assist him in reducing
his rebellious subjects to submission, and are
on the contrary, leaving him to get out OF his
difficulties in the best way he can without their
aid 1t is a foregone conclusion that he VIII re-
nounce the errors of Western ways and VIII
bacome benceforth as bitter an opponent Of for
eign progress and ideas he has until now
been their champion
In Justice to the foreign powers 1t Is onfy far
