SULTAN's DEBTORS ANGRY.
Because He Gives Literally to St. Louis
Exposition Exhibit.

London, Oct. THE Tangier cores
pondent of tine Times says the sultan OF
Morocco has given second installment
of $50, 900 to the American syndicate
which is undertaking the Moorish ex-
hibit at the St. Louis exposition. The
correspondent adds:
s'This action on the part of the sui
tan creates much criticism here, as the
Moorish government, pleading the ex-
listing crisis, has refused to consider or
pay the claims of the Europeans who
have suffered loss of property through
the rebellion.
''I learn that the powers have agreed
to leave the solution of the existing
crisis to France, who will give the nee
essary assistance to the sultan g govern
ment when their resources shall be fin
ished. There is no question of q
French protectorate, but France will
naturally acquire preponderating in
fuence in Moorish politics.

Immense immigration of Cheap Labor
From Southern Europe.


Albany, N. Y, Oct. THE state
department of labor, in its quarterly
bulletin, attributes the diminution in
an unprecedented degree of employ
ment and wages reported in June as al
most wholly to labor disputes.
'sThe lockout in the building trades
,of Manhattan and Bronx boroughs of
New York City," it says, ''overshad-
owed all other disputes of the summer
and threw several thousand wage.earn-
ers out of work. In general the bull
letin holds that, exclusive of the build.
ing trades, New York industries were
generally as active as in the summer of
1902, which was banner year.
According to the bulletin, immigra-
tion this summer has exceeded even the
record breaking current of last year :.
and indicates the eagerness of the low
paid laborers of central and southeast
ern Europe to enjoy the prosperity
which, on the whole, still reigns in
the United States.
The largest contingents are still the
Italians, Poles and other races of south
ern and central Europe, with a low
standard of education. Notwithstand-
ing the great tide of immigration, the
perintendent of the State Free EN-
ployment Bureau in New York City
states that at no time during the quar-
ter ws he able to meet the demands for
domestic help.
Prosperity is SO. widely diffused,"
says the bulletin, 'sthat the servant
keeping class is larger than ever before,
and has thus created demand that ex-
ceeds the supply"

collect forcibly not only the taxes, but
custom house duties already paid by
importers from May, 1902, to August
1, 1908, the period during which the
revolutionists occupied that city as gov

manded is about 81 ,000,000
The foreigners, especially the firms
of Blohm & Co.. German; Palazzi &
Co., Italian, and Dalton & Co., Ameri-
can, have refused to pay, alleging that
the duties had been already legally
paid.
Menaces and vexatious tactics are
employed against the foreigners. Herr
Spick, German, refused to pay back
duties, and cargo of rum belonging to
him, which was being landed from a
steamer, was seized by the government
and sold at public auction for almost
nothing. The German merchant, in
this manner, lest $25, 900. Venezuelan
merchants who refuse to pay, having
no protection, are imprisoned.

GODS PURPOSES FOR MAN.
God has to do with the affairs of men,
In the life of the most humble he has
a plan and a purpose For the great
world at large he has a purpose sublime
Paul knew II concerning his own life,
and his own aim was to realize the
great ideal which God had for him. No
more remarkable man has appeared to
plead the cause Of Christ than that
mighty apostle, who was stricken with
conviction and with blindness on the
road to Damascus. 1t is easy for US
to believe that God had a plan and
purpose for a life like his. but it is not
less true that he has plan for the lives
