Much credit is due to the two sher-
eefs of Wazan, Mulai Ali and Mulai
Hamet, who have devoted much time
in efforts to secure the success of the
negotiations. Mulai Ali remained at
Raisuli's camp continuously, thus in
surfing the safety of the captives, while
Mulai Hamet travelled between Tan
gier and Benayres.
Mulai Hamet says that he arrived at
the camp of Zelal, governor of the BENZ

History of the Affair.
Perdiceris and Varley were abducted
by Moroccan bandits and held for
ransom. Raisuli, leader of the bril-
gands, delivered an ultimatum to the
sultan, holding that unless the ransom
was paid and several of the brigands
held as prisoners by the government
were released, Perdicaris and his COM
panion in captivity would pay the pen
atty with their lives.
AS soon as the United States govern
ment heard of the matter, the Euro
pean squadron, under Admiral Chad
wick, was ordered to proceed to Tan
gier and hurry the release of the
American. The sultan was backward,
and secretary Hays ultimatunl was the
result. That is had the desired effect

STOP WITH ONE DAY ONLY.
Make Plenty of Noise When 1t Is Due,
But Do Not Garry
It Over.

1t is time that all persons who have
reached the years of discretion should
enter a protest against the celebration
of independence Day by unlimited and
unqualified noise. We are not quite
of the opinion of Carlyle that the dis
like of noise is a measure of civiliZa-
tion-although there is something to
be said for that, too, says the Indepen-
dent Neither do We believe in regu-
lating the pleasures of youth too
strictly by the tastes of age, All young
people apparently delight in pure un-
mitigated noise, and as youth, accord
ing to our friends the evolutionists, is
in a state Of inherited savagery, it's joy
in squibs and crackers would seem to
be confirmation of Carlyle's decree.
However, youth also has its rights
and privileges. Let there be noise on
the Fourth of July-sayage, nerve
rending, peace-destroying noise. not
without the desired accompaniment OF
burnt clothes, lacerated fingers, de-
oculated heads and lockjaw-the last
evil bringing the relief of silence at
least. But We pray for limitation OF
time. From sunrise to sunset is surely
sufficient for the national relapse int
barbarism.

AN oLD-FASHIoNED FOURTH OF
JULY.

These new-fangled notions are giving the
queer kind of Fourth-one without any
noise
With speeches and picnics no patience

And 1 pine for the old-fashioned Fourth OF
July.
Then We rose with the dawn and the cannon
came first
We packed 1t with powder till ready tc
And my! how the glass in the windows die
When it startled the echoes of Fourth of
July.
We hitched up old Dobin and all tumbed
The roomy old wagon-the fat and the
thin
Even grandma was there, and as clipper
and spry
As any young maiden the Fourth of July
We went to the barbecue-who cared for
showers;
When the feast was a-flutter with banners
and flowers;
And if down came the rain in the midst of 1t,
why,
1t was part of an old-fashioned Fourth OF
July.

ers, too,

And Washington rode on his horse in the

to it all as he would have us believe.
After little while he came out and
took down his diminutive Union Jack.

The box was not very large, and
portion of it was filleu with fireworks
for night display, SO that the supply
of explosives was soon exhausted, and
the crowd sat around the front of the
cabin wishing for more. Then it was
that Moores turn came. He had found
an old coffee can with a screw top, and
putting in goodly supply of powder
had packed it tight with paper and ap-
piled fuse. Lighting it he slipped up
close behind Yorker and, before that
individual had discovered the presence
of the Internal machine, it exploded
with a terrific bang that sent Yorker
into the air with a bound
In his pleasure at the success of his
retaliation Moore forgot all about his
early anger, and entered into the
spirit of the celebration with an en-
thusiasm worthy of son of the rev.
olution. He donated his supply of
loose powder, kept carefully against
the day when his rifle ammunition
should run short, and when that was
exhausted, thanks to his assistance. he
got out his rifle and amused himself by

Before noon came Moore was the
most hilarious one of the crowd, and
the loudest in his lamentations at the
exhaustion of the noise producing ma
terial, though he insisted that it was
'just the sport of the thing" that ap-
pealed to him, and that there was no
sentiment connected with it. He de-
voted the afternoon to fixing up the
fishing punt for the evening fireworks,
proposing that they be exploded from
on the water, and what is more, he
asked that he might be allowed to
shoot them off while the rest of us
sat on the shore and watched the dis
play.
1t was after ten o'clock that evening
when the last colored ball from the
last Roman candle had burst in the
clear northern air, and Moore rowed
the punt back to shore. For some lit
tie time afterwards he sat on a stump
smoking. Finally he said:
