International Incident.

1t is very likely that the kidnapping
of Ion Pardicardis by the Berber chief
tain Raisuli will lead up to an inter-
national incident of grave Importance.
The terms submitted by the kidnaper
to Consul Gummere, at Tangier. are:
% That the sultan of Morocco with
draw his forces from the district in
which Raisuli's band operates: (2)
that the governors Of Tangier and Fee
pay heavy ransom for the release of
the American and his English fellow
prisoner; CD that Raisuli and his fol
lowers have immunity from punish
ment for the kidnapping, and ca that
the United States and Great Britain
solemnly guarantee the observance of
these conditions by the Moorish gov
eminent. 1t is stated that the presi-
dent and Secretary Hay agree in the
opinion that these terms cannot he
met. Aside from the indignity in
VOWED. the granting of the conditions
would be equivalent TO forcing the
sultan to abdicate his sovereignty
over considerable part of Moorish
territory in favor of a robber.
An alternative course of action.
however. is not so easily devised. y
force of marines and bluejackets
could be landed from our European
and South Atlantic squadrons now
on the scene; but to cap
ture Raisuli and his tribe in their
mountain fastness might be a more
difficult task than is anticipated. Ten
years or 50 ago. when trouble arose
between Spain and the Riffian tribes
men near Mellla. ii became necessary
To send Gen. Martinez Campos and Il
Spanish army To Africa in order to
subdue them. and the job was not
finished until after many months of
hard fighting. \ landing party from
our warShips might be sufficient. if
nothing more were to be done than t.
coerce the sultan and the Moorish
authorities into action: but the good
faith Of the sultan i'm the mater seems
to he unQuestionable. He il simply
powerless to effect a release of the
prisoners. Moreover. show of force
would defeat its object; the captives
would in all probability, be put to
death.
This is the view entertained in
French governmental circles, and
French opinion may have to be con
suited. The sO-called colonial treaty
recently concluded between Great
Britain and France particularly recOg-
nizeS Morocco "a French protecto-
rate. II armed Intervention in Mo-

pleased with the prospects of an enor-
nous yield. Favored sections of the
state, he says, where wheat is king.
will have a yield, according to the
wheat growers, of fifty bushels to the
acre.
Threshing is going on in Whitman
and Walla Walla counties, and is be-
ginning in Garfield and Columbia
counties. Fall sown wheat in some
localities especially in the Big Bend
district, was largely nipped by June
frosts. Lack of moisture was also a
cause of blight Mr.. Arrasmith says
the yield this year will be approx
mately 30, 900, 900 bushels. There is
but very little of the 1908 crop in the
hands of the farmers at present.
