TANGIER, April 7.-(Special Cablegram
to Tho Bee.)-If conditions do not change
for the better in the near future the people
OF Morocco may find themselves confronted
by condition OF affairs more disquieting
than anything that has been considered at
Algeclras.
Scarcity of rain and plague of locusts
are threatening the crops, especially In
southern Morocco. and the distress is al
ready prevalent Owing to the representa-
lions OF the British minister the sultan has
sent orders to the native authorities Of
the coast towns to purchase and destroy
loousts eggs. This Should to some extent
alleviate the danger, though the orders
have been delayed too long to make the
EFFORT really productive OF results. This
T. is believed will help in a measure, how
ever. The merchants and officials of Fec
are attempting TO relieve the existing SUI
fering by the distribution of foodstuffs.
The execution OF this charitable work was
originally delegated to certain Maghezen
officials but the merchants, suspecting,
apparently with good reason. that oonsid-
cradle sums never reached the poor. pro-
tested and obtained the nomination of GER
tain Of their class to undertake the work.

In the discussion OF the proposition to hold
the next world convention at Nauvoo. The
arguments In favor of the invitation, which
had been signed by over 400 citizens Of
Nauvoo. were based on the fact that the
Utah church, known as the 'Brighamites''
or followers of Brigham Young, were work.
