MOROCCO YELLOW BOOK.
French Policy and Events Leading to
Franco-German Crisis.

yellow book on Morocco, issued in
Paris, gives an exhaustive history of
French policy IN Morocco and the events
leading to the Franco-German crisis. The
dispatches passing between Berlin and
Paris, prior to NJ. Delcasse's retirement
from the foreign office, show that relations
were seriously strained. The French am
bassador at Berlin, NJ Bihourd, telegraphed
April % that Germany refused to answer
the inquiries of M Delcasse concerning the
suff1ciency of his explanations of the man.
ner in which the Anglo-French agreement
was communicated to Germany. NJ. b.
hourd also reported that those close to the
Emperor William included belltgerent adj
visers, who pointed out that the Franco
Russian alliance had just received seri-
Gus check by the events in Manchuria, and
represented that the hour was propitious
for an armed struggle against France. The
French ambassador further declared that
direct negotiations were impossible, and he
therefore advised indirect negotiations on
the basis of the Moroccan conference,

That Ordinary Stamps Be Used foz
Special Delivery in Emergency.

Special Delivery in Emergency.
The annual report of Mr.. P. v. DeGraw.
fourth assistant postmaster general. says
that the number of post offices In the
United States at the close of the fiscal year
was: First class, 27o; second class. 1.25s:
third class. 4120; fourth class. 8247s. To-
tai. 6s,1sf. This. the report says. was q
reduction In the total number of offices. re-
sulting mainly from the diseontinuance of
S,492 fourth-class post offices during the
year by reason of the establishment OF ru-
raj free delivery. The aggregate compen-
sation Of the postnasters thus displaced
amounted to $685.
City free delivery had been extended DUR
Ing the year to forty-four new offices, rs
against sixty mine new free delivery offices
established in 1904 The gross receipts of
free delivery offices during the year had
increased per cent and the cost only
per cent.
The special delivery letter service, the
fourth assistant postmaster general says, is
source of profit to the government over
and above the special fee of cents each
paid to postmasters for the delivery of such
matter.
1t is suggested, however that the service
can be materially developed and made more
profitable by the authorized use of ordinary
stamps, covering the fee for special deiiv-
cry In cases of emergency. In order to
enable prompt identification of special de-
livery letters in cases where ordinary post
age stamps may be used, the words 'spe-
cial delivery should be written across the
face of envelopes inclosing such matter.
The fourth assistant postmaster general
renews the recommendation made to the
last Congress by his predecessor that rate
Of cents per pound, or any fractional part
thereof be fixed on packages not exceeding
five pounds, mailed at the distributing post
Office of any rural free delivery route for
delivery to a patron on said route.

that have been almost dry for years
are now full of water, and low places
are submerged. The Jim river is eight

has spread over hundreds of acres of
bottom lands, doing some damage to
crops. Many fields are under water,
and with few exceptions are too wet
to work AS a consequence. corn gen

Farmers are becoming anxious re-

rains cease the wheat and other small
grains will mature so rapidly that diff

the crops.

the Sioux Falls divorce colony who
gave his name as DR.. John Wanamak-
err, after it had been discovered that
two drafts cashed by. him at a local
bank were worthless, is the latest
sensation among the "colonists.'
Some acquainted express the opinion
that he is out Of the city only tempo
rarily, and will return and make good
the amounts secured at the banks,
but others do not take so hopeful
view OF the matter The physician
gave his attorney to understand that
he required some money from his
former home in the East. He filled
out and subscribed his name to sight
draft for $3.50 and induced the attorney
to indorse the draft. This was present
ed at bank and everything being reg
ular the draft was cashed.
The physician is alleged to have
afterwards presented another draft for
$50 at the same bank, upon which he
secured the money. This draft did
not bear the Endorsement of the attor-
new. Both DARTS have been returned
unhonored by the bank upon which
they were drawn, and now the Pinker-
ton detective agency has been asked
to locate the missing man.

BY the sudden and unexpected return
70 his home in Sioux Falls of F. d.
Mills. a Sioux Falls contractor, who
mysteriously disappeared in Kansas
CITY last April under circumstances
which led the authorities of the Mis-

robbed and murdered.
Relatives of Mills declares that he
appears dazed and not able to give
any intelligent account of his wander
ings since his disappearance last April.
In some quarters it is limited that
temporary financial embarrassment
caused Mills to keep In hiding for a
time. or until his business affairs had
been Strengthened out.
At the time of his disappearance
Mills was on his way to a point In
New Mexico for the purpose OF closing
the business in connection with the
construction Of some government In
dian school buildings. Recently To-
cal business man, who had been as
sociated with him in the government
contract in New Mexico, learned that
ne was at Portland, Ore. He left for
that city for the purpose OF finding
him but before his arrival Mills had
