one of the sgnatory powers OF the Madrid Con-
vention. to exercise the same voice IN the af-
fairs of Morocco as England. Spain. Italy and
France But the people Of France would no
longer hesitate were they to realize that the
control of the entrance to the Mediterranean
and the safety of their great Algerian and Tu-
nisian dependencies were at stake.
lnasmuch the chances Of France and Eng
land tolerating the establishment by Germany
of naval bases on the Moorish territory which
she has acquired by purchase are. to say the
least. remote and improbable, 1t may be asked
what else the Kaiser has hoped to gain by COM
pellng France to agree to a congress on Mo
rocco. all the more as the latter Of itself can
accomplish nothing beyond the establishment
of the complete independence Of Morocco. For
now that the fear Of armed Intervention by
France has been removed for the nonce. the
Sultan has cast to the winds his pledges OF
reforms, and the anarchy which has ensued is
so great that caravan trade in Morocco is at
standstin and the markets are deserted much
to the detriment of Algerian commerce What
the Kaiser has gained is this: The prestige Of
France and of England in Morocco has received
so crushing a blow by his Intervention that
nothing short OF armed force would induce the
Sultan and his chiefs to defer to the demands
of either of these powers.

OF Moorish territory at Cape del Aqua opposite
the Zaffarne Islands. close to the Algerian from
tier, and also west of Tangier on the Atlantic
Coast, between the mouth of the Sebu and
LaVache These tracts according to Jean Hess
the French explorer and foremost authority on
Morocco, were purchased by the well known
Spaniard NJ Ximenes, from the Kebdana and
other tribes to which they belonged. and from
him quite recently by the German government,
the Sultan of Morocco confirming, through Count
Tallenbach, the deed of sale to the Kaiser. 1t

vainly endeavored to induce his native country

west of Tangier within considerably less than
one hundred miles of Gibraltar and of standing

Rather than this Great Britain and France
would prefer war, and that is why it is i'm
possible to regard the surrender by France
to Germany's demands for a congress of
the powers on Morocco in any other light
than a mere postponement of the outbreak
of that great European struggle which the late
Lord Salisbury always predicted would be

uties and posse from Tunica

the territory adjoining the scene
of the shooting was diligently
searched, but no trace of the
shooters could be found, so the
search was abandoned yesterday
afternoo.
The crime for which the Har-
ris negroes are wanted is the kill
ing Of Bob Maston, another negro
at Tunlca last week. Maston
killed Will Harris last year and
for the crime was sentenced to a
life term in the penitentiary, but
was pardoned by Gov. Vardaman
last week. As soon as the Har-
ris negroes heard of this they
went to Tunica county and killed
Maston, and sent a def to the Of
fcers, saying they would not be
taken alive.

BLOODSHED AT WALLS
Negroes and Deputy Sherifs Exchange
Shots. lone Man Killed.

Wall Station has been the scene
of considerable excitement during
the past two days, caused by the
killing of a negro, Henry Harris,
and the Wounding of Aubrey
Gardner, a deputy sheriff from
Tunica county. The shooting was
done by Mack and Frank Harris,
sons, of the slain man, and a posse
of deputies from Tunica county.
tits said by some that the ne
groes. in shooting at the officers,
killed their own father. Others
assert that che old man Was kill
ed by the officers.
The cause Of the shooting was
an attempt to arrest the two Har-
ris negroes by Tunica county Of
flcers on warrant charging them
with the murder of another negro
IN that county last week.
The officers had gone to the
home of the Harris negroes, but
found Mack and Frank absent.
Their father refused to inform
the officers of the whereabouts of
his sons, so the officers took the
old man in charge and left the
house. While passing through
corn field they were opened fire
upon by Mack and Frank Harris
from ambush. The elder Harris
Was between the officers and the
negroes doing the shooting, and a
bullet penetrate d his brain, kill
ing him instantly. Another bull
let struck Deputy Gardner in his
left side and came out his back.
The young man was carried to
the railroad and sent to Mem
phls hospital for treatment. His
recovery is doubtful.
