Italian third class cruiser Dogali ar
rived here this morning.
A delegation of chiefs of the An

personal appeal to Raisuli, the bandit
chief, to release Nessrs Perdicaris and
Varley ''in order to prevent the de
barkment and permanent occupation
of Morocco by foreigners opposing the
Moslem faith and the expulsion of ma
tive Mohammedans," This mission
is considered important, as the Mo-
hammedan chiefs unite In apeaiiAg to
Raisuli not to- endanger their religious
supremacy in Morocco The French
government relies much upon the APP
peal to NIohammedan sentiments
The natives are greatly excited by
the arrival of so many foreign war
shis. They call all foreigners ron
MIS- meaning infidels and they fear
the ''roumis' are about to make a
united effort to drive out those who
are of the Mohammedan faith.

Russell Sage Says he Never Took a
Vacation.

New York, June 2.-In an article
under the caption .sThe Injustice of
Vacations" the Independent quotes
Russell Sage to the effect that he ney.
ev has takGn vacation in his life:
that the vacation habit is the OUT
growth of abnormal or distorted busi-
ness methods and that man is less
fitted to do good work for his employer
after two weeks rest each year than
he was before.
When I was a boy" said the veter-
an dnancier, "the practice was not in
vogue. During the SO years of my ca
reer have not taken a vacation AS
matter Of fact, I was so glad to get
chance to learn business that the
idea of asking my employer to make
me a present of two weeks of the
time that belonged to him would have
been preposterous. Besides, I was
eager to advance in business.
rs it not absurd to suppose that a
man can In two weeks recuperate
from the wear and tear Of year s
work? On the contrary, I have too
often observed that men will, while
on their vacations, make inroads upon
their vitality and purses that cannot
be repaired in the following eleven
months and two weeks.
A man should work easy, be
economical of his time, conserve his
forces and not worry. 1t is worry and
not work that makes the hair gray.
If | had a thousand tongues I'd preach
save time with them all. It's i'm
finitely more valuable than money"

rHE FIsHERY DIsPUTE..

ST Petersburg. June 2.-The COM
meylt here on the settlement OF the
Russo-C canadian fishery dispute Is very
significant. The agreement is Wel-
coined by the Russian press as cyl
tlence Of the increasing probability OF
an Anglo Russian alliance, the papers

Great Britain. France and Russia ~
becoming more favorable, the war III
stead OF proving an obstacle to an al
lance serving as one of the arguments
in it's favor.
More significant still is a strong i'm.
tination Of the Novosti foreshadowing
that commercial treaty between the
two countries will pave the way to a
purely commercial reapproachment..
The Novosti adds:
stThc realization of this is easier, as
10th Russia and Great Britain are
bound by enormous commercial deal
fngs. 1T is true that Russia is fur
fher from Great Britain than France.
but she is nearer India whose rail-
roads could be Joined with Russia's." :"
gEhe paper makes the further point
that without such a commercial treaty
any political agreement would be very
frail.
Although 1t is Impossible to ascer-
tain at this time whether the question
OF such a commercial treaty has actu-
ally been taken UP. the possibility of
fits being the next step towards polit-
Acal agreement arouses the keenest in
terest in diplomatic circles, where 1T
Is considered fraught with most far
reaching Importance. The United
States probably will be the chief loser
by such a treaty. America has al
ready suffered from the differential
duties levied against her in. retaliation
for the imposition of countervailing
duty on Russian sugar imports of
American agricultural machinery, etc,
which few years ago We're very
large. having fallen almost to nothing.
With tariff concessions Great Britain
is bound to succeed to all this trade
with its big potentialities for the flu
trre. The impression is growing
that Great Britain is playing a shrewd
game. for big stakes, commercially as
well as politically, and that while a
complete agreement would be mutu-
ally advantageous to both Russia and
Great Britain 1T would be at the OK
pense Of the United States in both
these directions.

TumuItuous Session.

Paris. July 12.-The Chamber Of
Deputies. today, held a tumultous ses-
sion over the report of the committee
which has been investigating the
Chartreuse charges. The report de-
clared that the charges of attempted
bribery were not sustained and ex-
pressed regret that Premier Comics
had made such charges. This declara-
ton aroused violent opposition on the
part of the friends of the premier, who
brought forth a counter-propositfon de-
claring that the premier and the gov
eminent were above all suspicion and
denouncing their calumniators.
A noisy debate ensued, during which
the president Of the Chamber censured
a number Of deputies for disorderly
conduct.
Eventually the chamber adopted by
a large majority a resolution declaring
that the premier and the government
were above suspicion and unanimously
adopted a clause of the resolution de-
pouncing the calumniators.
The effect of the votes is the rejec-
ton of the report of the investigating
committee.
The large Combes majority termi-
mates the rumors that the investiga-
ton might lead to his retirement from
the premiership.
