Street Police station.

West Thirty-seventh street station was
stricken with heart disease while working
at his desk in the station house Yesterday

was regaining consciousness. DR.. Smith

cover and had him put TO bed in the station.
Late last night he declared that the captain
was out of danger. Capt, Ferris lives at 400
Eighth avenue. His family are out OF town

capt. ms attack was brought on by hard
work and worry over the charges that
have lately been brought against him
and several of his policemen. The charges
were the result of accusations made by
Magistrate Hogan in connection with the
arrest of a young man who went with de-
tectives TO obtain the release Of a girl from

WILL NOT REVERSE HIMSELF.
Declaration OF the President A. 10 the
Miller Case ana Unionism.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, Sept. 27.-The re-
port has been current recently that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in view Of the resolutions
adopted by the Central Labor Union in
Washington concerning the case Of Fore
man W. H. Miller of the Government Bind
cry, soon after his return to the Capt. oil
will confer with labor union leaders in
regard to final disposition of the case.
This report, it can be said authoritatively.
is not true.
The President will confer with nobody
about the Miller case. in so far as it ia con-
cerned with the principle set forth in his
correspondence with Secretary Cortelyou,
when he ordered the reinstat ement of Miller
in the Government service.
That principle, as enunciated in Mr..
Roosevelt's letter to his secretary, is that
there shall be no discrimination against
the employment of non-union men in the
Government departments.
Mr.. Roosevelt regards that point, which is
clearly defined at the very opening Of the
Miller case, and which is, in fact, the only
real point at issue. as definitely settled
and any attempt to get the President to
reverse himself. and declare for Miller's
dismissal as tho Central Labor Unions
resolutions ask, will be futile.
Entirely aside from the principle in
volved in the Miller case. the President
may. however, have to reconsider the case
on it's merits That is. he may have to pass
on 1t in the light of the evidence which the
union may present in support Of its claim
that Miller is unfit morally for employment
in the Government Printing Office, but so
far as tho principle Of unionism is involved
in the case, Mr.. Roosevelt will not consider
it further.
1t has been learned here that JofnAIitchell
will be the Presidents guest at luncheon
at the White House on Tuesday, the day
after Mr.. Roosevelt returns to Washington
Mr.. Mitchell's presence at the White House,
however. will have no significance regard
ing the Miller matter. He was invited to
luncheon by Mr. Roosevelt before the
trouble of Miller's reinstatement began.

READY TO SWOOP on MOROCCO.
France to Put "a, 100 Troops In the
Field.
Special Gable Despatch to THE sun.

Special Cable Despatch to THE Sun.
PARIS, Sept. 27.-The press is devoting
much space to discussion of the Moroccan
question. The Matin in an inspired article
says that while it is true that England,
France and Spain have been negotia ing
for long time concerning Morocco and
have succeeded in reaching general UNDER
standing, it is erroneous to assert that an
agreement in the strict sense OF the word
has been reached ard that the exchange
OF views has resulted in France being EN-
powered to seize the Sultan's empire.
The line that the Government Of the
Republic has set for itself is essent tally
pacific, and for the present it neither pro-
vides for forcible occupation of Morocco
nor for the immediate annexation of that
country under the guise OF protect crate.
The Matin adds guardedly that nothing
has occurred so far that should call for a
change Of plans on the part of the French
Government.
Despite the Mathis article it is main
tanned that the inception Of the scheme
entailing a French protectorate over
Morocco dates from King Edwards visit to
Paris.
The Sultan is not expected to place serious
obstacles in the way. as during the grave
troubles in Morocco last year it was to
France that he appealed.
1t is said that it has been decided to mobi-
lie Is 900 French troops under Gems o Con-
nor and Bailloud. The first column will
operate on the north by Lalla and Mag
honia and the second column by Nenet.
Fez is about 200 miles distant as the crow
flies from the point of triangle TO which
the troops will march across Morocco.
The French feet will cooperate with the
military, and will possibly land $4,000 men
at Wehediyah, on the Atlantic coast, ninety
miles from Fez French troops are already
concentrating on the Moroccan frontier in
preparation for forward movement early
in November.
England's acquescence in the French
plan is said to have been secured by full
recognition of her claims in Newfoundland
and friendly compromise and recognition
of he British occupation Of Egypt.
