TLEMCEN. Algeria. April 19.-Although
1T was intended that to-day should be a day
of rest, President Loubet worked hard in
receiving various delegations and number
of native chiefs. including several from

whom he distributed decorations and pres
ents. The President inspected the native
schools to-day, but the neighborhood ex-
cursions which had been planned were pre-
vented by heavy fall of rain. AS the sur
rounding region has suffered long from

fall to the presence of the ruler of the
French republic. President Loubet will
