Viewed With Concern.

London, June 2.-The situation over Morocco is viewed with no little con- cern in diplomatic circles here. Indi- rectly the Sultan's refusal to accept the French proposals Is regarded as a rebuff to Great Britain but the Asso- ciated Press understands that rather than risk further complications. France will be likely to join the other powers in conference at Fez and Great Britain would follow suit. Should France decline to enter the cunfer- ence. Great Britain will likewise de- cline. in which event serious difficulty may ensue. Kaik Sir Harry MacLean, formerly of the British army and re- gently retired from the command of the Sultan's body guard arrived in Eng land tonight. In an interview with the Associated Press he said the Sul- tan was quite willing to receive as- sistance from other powers in secur- ing reforms and in the upbuilding of Morocco but he would continue to de- cline to give any one power a monop- oly in the direction of these reforms. Sir Harry said that the financial and economic condition of Morocco was much better than generally belieNed and that the Sultan yves determined to maintain his independence.

Proposition.
 Paris, June 2.--Although omciai con firmation is withheld it Is now gen. erally accepted here that the report from Tangier to the effect that the Sul- tan of Morocco had declined the French proposition for the reform of Morocco unless approved by the international conference, was correct. This is vide ly commented upon as amounting to check If not failure of the French mission sent to Fez as well as check to the entire French policy in Morocco. Only the absorbing attention given to King Alfonso prevents renewal of the storm of protest against Germany as an international conference would be considered to be the result of the in- fluence of Count von Tattenbach-Ash- old, head of the German mission to Fez. with the Sultan.
 The French statesmen continue to rely upon Great Britain. Italy and Spain refusing to join the proposed conference, which. with the refusal of France and Russia and possibly the indifference of the United States. would leave the conference without member ship except Germany. However, 1t Is recognized that even without an inter- national conference the Sultan's refusal to agree with the reforms proposed by France continues the old status quo which France sought to terminate.

THE FIRST ENGLISH TRAGEDY

Three years before Shakespeare was
born, and three years after Queen
Elizabeth had ascended, the throne of
England-that is to say, in the year
1561-a wonderful play was acted by
the gentlemen of the Inner Temple in
London. The Inner Temple, be it
known, is one of the ancient buildings
erected on the site of a former monas-
tic edifice of the knights Templars
and is associated in the mind with the
inns of Court" or societies of bar
risters1and law students in the British
capital.
The young queen was present, and

himself would win the court party for
it, if social prestige could do this. To
please the queen lines were inserted
inculcating the doctrine of passive
obedience to monarchs, however un-
worthy and odious they might be. K
The new play was an absolute inno-
walton in English literature, for up to
this time there had been no thought of
such thing as tragedy in our Ian
guage, and there were no models for
the author to follow, except those of
the ancient Greek and Latin. The most
surprising feature of the composition
was its blank verse; for this had never
been heard upon the English stage,
and was known to English scholars
only in the Earl of Surveys translation
of Virgil, which had but recentuy ap-
peared. Comedies of trivial charac-
ter there had been, and many a miracle
play; but these had been written in
prose or in rhyme, and blank verse
was the newest of experiments in
writing. "The court circle had never
listened to such an amazing novelty"
says Isaac Disraeh.
What the invention of the steam en-
gine has been to the industrial world.
the invention of English tragedy with
its blank verse has been to our litera-
ture, for 1t gave to Shakespeare and
Milton and the other masters of poetic
art the form for their compositions.
To this day the French do not possess
blank verse; nor do the Spanish, al

mel, and Ferrex was slain. Porrex now
reigned, but his career was short. His
mother, maddened by the death of her
favorite, led a body of women into his
chamber at night, where he was sleep
ing and dispatched him, hewing his
body to pieces. The people rose to
punish her, and anarchy reigned
Sackville was careful to follow the
ancient rule that murders must not
be witnessed upon the stage. In this
Shakespeare does not always follow
him.
Queen Elizabeth was somewhat
doubtful of the propriety of depicting
in drama an uprising of subjects
against their sovereign, under any
provocation. but she seems to have
been mollified by the lines which taught
and emphasized passive obedience
which lines in aftertime were quietly
dropped from the play. Sackville's
tragedy is no longer read by any large
number of students, though it might
prove very popular study in these
days of the revival of English classics.
But it is worthy of affectionate remem-
brance as marking a great era in the
literature of the wor1d-the era of
blank verse, and of tragedy emancipat-
ed from the thraldom of the unities''
1t is especially worthy of note because
of its subject, in this day of the revival
OF ancient British legendary lore.

'unities" to the winds. The supposed
time of a modern drama. may cover
many years. In rip Van Winkle'
there is a lapse of two decades be-
tween two of the acts, and in one of
Calderon's dramas there is a gap OF
several centuries. Moreover, a modern
drama is apt to present an extended
variety of scenes.
The play was voted a success, though
Sir Philip Sidney greatly lamented that
it did not absolutely follow the three
uDities,' so that il might be deemed the
perfect model for tragedies in all COM
ing time. Sir Philip did not live to
witness the freedom with which
Shakespeare changed his scenes and
skipped over intervals of time. He
would have been Mortified at the revo-
lLtionary course of the bard of Avon.
The first English tragedy proved a
better model for the greatest of dram
atists than the classic dramas of old
time. He adopted its blank verse. He
enlarged it's freedom from the re-
straints of "the unities.'
Another original merit of Sackville's s
play was the. fact that its subject was
chosen from the old legendary lore of
Britain, and not from tales of the
Greeks and Romans. Shakespeare fol-
lowed Sackville in basing the plays of
King Lear" and "Cymbeline. upon the
ancient legends of his own land; and
il has been regretted that he did not
find native subjects for more of his
dramas.
Sackville's tragedy was called Fer
rex and Porrex," and depicted the fear
full fate of the last rulers of the most
ancient royal house of Britain, the de-
scendants of the legendary Brut. the
great-grandson of Aeneas. The trag-
edy is sometimes called "Gorboduc,' -
taking the name of the, father of the
two princes whose rivalry it depicts.
According to the legend, King Gorbo-
due, or Gorbogudo, and his wife Widen.

form the title of the play. The youths
were ambitious to reign, and impris-
oned their father in his old age. The
