is felt in this change, as st. Panl's has for
some years employed a few select female
voices to sing with the boys. 1t was the
first church in the District to employ a male
choir, and Col. e, B. Hay, one of the pres

Release. but Meet With strong
Resistance.
TANGIER, June 24.-An extraordinary
matrimonial dispute affecting an Eng
lishwoman has arisen here.
A Moorish acrobat from the Sus dis
trict some time ago married Manches-
ter girl aged II and brought her here
to his harem. The brides friends, on
learning that he was already the hus-
band of several women, requested the
British consular authorities here to
send her back to England
To-day the acting Consul, Mr. Mitch
ell, called the Moor to his office and
told him that he must send the girl
nome and pay the necessary expenses.
On the man refusing to do so. Mitchell
threatened to hand him over to the
Moorish authorities.
Thereupon the Mooor suddenly drew
"a revolver on the acting Consul, but
was prevented from firing by Mr. Mo
rillo the consular clerk who pluckily
seized him. A fierce struggle ensued In
the ConsuPs office, and Mr.. Morello was
assaulted with the butt Of the revolver.
The Moor finally escaped and took ref
uge in the sanctuary.
Subsequently the Moor was arrested
and taken to the castle. The girls par
ents now claim her custody, asserting
that the marriage was a runaway. one
1t has been ascertained that the cere-
mony took place in Liverpool
mosque, the certificate being signed
"Quilliam."
The marriage was performed accord
ing to the Mohammedan ceremony, and
the register was signed by a shiek. The
girl, who was only II years of age. Is
alleged to have been terrorized by the
Moor.

FRENCH RENTES BREAK

NEW YORK, June 24.-There was
lull to-day and the two hours session
of the Stock Exchange was rather
quiet. A disposition was shown to re-
duce commitments in the market in
view OF the Sunday interval and the
possibility of unexpected developments
during the suspension OF business.
The clouds on the European political
horizon accentuated this tendency. A
sharp break in French rentes and the
further running off Of the sterling rate
at Paris were testimony to the acute
ness of the anxiety over the relations
between France and Germany. Brit
ish consols were affected in less degree.
Both of these Government securities
rallied before the close of the markets
in London and Paris. but there was
free selling here for foreign account
and the possibility of unfavorable de-
velopments before Monday was can
vassed. The wheat and cotton markets
showed a yielding tendency and pros
poets of clearing and warmer weather
in the wheat belt were regarded with
satisfaction, but the commodity mar
kets were also affected by speculative
realizing incident to the closing of the
week. The bank statement revealed a
replenishment of reserves much larger
than was anticipated, the increase in
c3Sn averages reaching SS,o12.2Uu- AZ
the same time a S2,000.000 loan con-
traction operated to relieve the reserve
requirements in proportion. The favor
able bank statement, however, was
taken advantage of to pursue the pre-
vailing disposition to realize, and prices
ran off after a partial recovery, closing
easy and at about the lowest all around

organized source. The advance in
prices has encountered an important
volume of realizing sales and these
have rather increased as the advance
extended. But offerings were absorbed
with apparent confidence and the bold
ness manifested by the buying has i'm
pressed observers with the power and
the resources of the conductors Of the
campaign. Speculative sen ntiment has
been the more impressed by the ag-
gressiveness of the leadership, owing
to the fact that some of the immediate
news of the week has seemed unfavor
able to the movement and has been ig

yIRGINIANS IN LONDON
VIEW ANCIENT CATALPA
Behold the Tree That Sir walter

cral Hundred Years Arn

crn1 Hundred Years Ago.
LONDON, June 2f.-Two fair Virgin
ians, Miss Ellis S. Hams and Miss Maud
w Rhodes, created mild sensation at
Gray's Inn Gardens the other day. They
told the porter they wanted to see its
famous ''catalpa." The old man said that
in all the years he had been there he had
never heard OF such a beast being kent
about the place. Then they explained to
him that lit was not an animal thew
wanted TO LOOK at but a tree that Sir
Walter Raleigh had brought from vfr-
ginias a few hundred years before and
which Queen Elizabeth had planted there
That was news to the porter, but as
the ladies were armed with a letter from
the Lord Chancellor, he admitted them
and hunted up an ancient bencher who
was able to point out the tree to them.
When they left, the guardian Of the gar
dens remarked that Americans must be
queer folk to come miles just to see an
old tree, that English people would never
dream of bothering their heads about.
1t is a fact that American visitors take
much deeper interest In London's HIS
torical treasures than do Londoners
themselves. and are much better informed
about them.

FRENCH CONSIDER THEIR
SUBMARINES THE BEST
Experiments With Five of the Vessels
OFF ToulOn Give Highly Satisfac-
fcry Results,

PARIS, June 24.-The announcement
that the Japanese used submarines in
the battle of the Sea of Japan has
caused great interest in French naval
circles. The experiments carried out at
Toulon this week are regarded as
showing that the French submarin es
and their Acrews are the best in the
world. Five submarines maneuvered
below the surface in a comparatively
small area, six torpedo boats being de-
tailed to keep close watch.
The weather was fine and the sea
particularly clear, in spite of which
the torpedo-boats failed to locate the
submarines.
The result is all the more satisfac-
tory, as the five submarines included
the Gustave Zede and the Gymnote,
two of the first built in France.
