for the sultan to arrange program

pate that this will not be an easy task
as the Franco-German agreement so

1t is pointed out that the sultan
of Morocco's position is weakened by
the negotiations, as he will no longer
have representatives of various pow

question regulating Morocco is prac.
tically taken out Of his hands for de.
termination elsewhere.
Following Premier Rouvier's pre-
sentation of notes to the Chamber of
Deputies efforts were made to inter-

were not pressed. the feeling being

concerning Morocco brings a deep
sense Of relief to the entire country

many persons believed involved the

The text of the three notes fully

Germany's contention for confer.

France, but President ROuvier has
secured the safeguards which he in
sisted at the preliminary conference
with Prince Won Radolin were indis-
pensable.
The most important of the safe
guards is that the conference shall
not convey any prejudice to the An

A Reoly.


There seems 10 be a demand on the
part Of some baseball players to be
credited with hit every time they
touch the ball. The Sporting Annual
defines hit as ball that can't be
felded. In the second inning Lyons
hit liner to Kunz, who made a clean
error. In the eighth he hit to Cos
grove, who also made an error and
was given credit for it
In the third inning Matney hit the
ball to Neher, who made clean error.
The only time Taylor reached a base
was in the eighth inning when he hit
to kunZ who threw wild to Cosgrove,
allowing him life Bernard reached
first but three times; once on hit,
once on a base on ball and the third
time on Kunzs error Tanning was
at bat four times, In the second in.
ming he got clean hit.
In the fourth Tanning reached first
when French hurt his finger, he failed
to hit In the sixth, and in the eighth
was safe on Cosgrove's error.
At the end of the game the official
score tailed with The Optic score and
why the board should be changed later
is a mystery TO the sporting editor OF
The Optic.
To claim ten hits TO Albuquerque's
three and then account for the 10 3
score would also be an impossibility.

Typhoid Fever in Washington.

The Health Department at Wash
ington is becoming seriously alarmed
over the constant increase and spread OF
typhoid fever in that city. Stree the
first of this month 46 cases Of typhoid
fever have been reported Up TO noon
Yesterday II new cases had been re-
ported and there is a growing apprehen-
sion that these figures do not tell the en-
tire tale. August has an unfortunate
reputation in Washington as the typhoid
fever month, but the spread of the dis
ease this year has surpassed all previous
records.
The total number Of existing cases at
the present time, as given out in an Of
Gcial statement by DR.. Woodward, the
health officer, is lG6. Two deaths were
reported yesterday morning In an OH
cial statement of the situation issued by
DR.. Woodward, he refeis to a belief that
the disease has been spread by flies. He
does not believe that flies are the active
carriers of the contagiJn. DR.. Wood
ward believes that water is the gr at car
rer of infection and that next to water
milk probably stands as the greatest
agency for the dissemination of the dis
ease.
The water of Washington has for
long time been unfit TO drink. II is
muddy, repulsive and altogether revolt
ing in appearance. The government IS
spending millions of dollars upon great
filtration plants and it is probable that
in the course of time these plants will be
completed. 1t has already been discov-
cred that even when they are completed
they will not begin to supply enough
clean water for the Use OF the capital.
Meanwhile there will be constant pres
euce of typhoid fever in the city.

bors that the other woman was dead.
She was insanely jealous of the girl, a

On Monday the Matthews woman met
Martha, in the hallway and accused her
of trying to take her husband from her:
"You are crazy, woman" retorted
Martha as she haunted out Uf the house.
"Mavbe am crazy, but that won't help
you" The Matthews woman was over
heard TO remark. Yesterday afternoon
Martla a Martin was ironing when the
Matthews woman walked mo her
kitchen and flel two shots. Que
bullet struck the girl in the lett side
above the heart, the other lodging in
her right temple. Death froze the first
scream of fright and surprise on ber
Inns. Mrs. Matthews walked ooolly
down stairs t, her own room, stood be-
fore the miro, and, by a strange coin,

manner she had shot her victim. One
bullet passed just above the heart, tht
other in the tight tempe. She wal

of the big electric locomative which was
pulling the freight train, jumped when
he saw that collision was inevitable.
la the collision the big passenger car
was completely demolished by the strongs

say Thomas had orders to run to Ocean
View and there wait for the arrival OF
the freight train. which, they assert, he
knew was following him. Thomas made
an unusually quick run from Willoughby
Beach, and, after taking on fonr passen-
gers at Ocean View. started on the re-
turn to Willougby Beach. He met the
