AN UNUSUAL CASE.
Woman to Be Deported for After En-
feet of Seasickness.

NEW YORK, January 5.-The after-effect
OF seasickness was the unusual cause for a
sentence of deportation which the immigra-
ton authorities imposed today. Mrs. Lydia
M. Thompson. a woman OF means, wife Of
an English country gentleman, and cabin
passenger on the steamer Minneapolis. was
the sufferer from this sentence. She was
deathly seasick in the great Christmas
storm the Atlantic during the Mime
apolis' passage to this country and this ILL.,
ness left her mind temporarily deranged.
Although her friends in this country have
offered to deposit large sum OF money as
a guarantee to the immigration authorities
that she will not be left to become a de-
pendent charge in care of the United States
during her contemplated visit here, Immi-
grafton Commissioner Watchorn has ruled
that insane alien she must be de-
ported.
She Is now held in her state room on the
Minneapolis. on which she will start for
England tomorrow. Mrs. Thompson arrived
here last Tuesday on her way to visit her
cousin, Mrs. E. Marshall Corey OF Over
brook. Pa. Her visit was planned partly as
a rest after the illness of her husband.
whom she nursed to recovery.
She Is siXty-siX years old. and the strain
which she has previously been under to-
gether with the storm at sea, made Mrs
Thompson extremely i'll. Although not de-
lirious she Is still extremely weak and her
mind Is subject to queer fancies.

FINAL INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN.
Attitude of This Country at the Moroc-
can Conference Outlined,

Ambassador Henry White and Minister
Gummere have received from the State De-
partment full and final instructions for
their guidance as representatives of the
United States in the approaching Moroccan
conference. which, it is understood, Is to
be held at Algeciras. near Gibraltar and In
Spain. Custom forbids the disclosure of
these instructions in advance of the meet
ing of the conference. But it may be stat
ed on authority that they We're drawn with
special reference to the attainment of two
OBJECTS, hrst, the maintenance of the open
door in Morocco, and second the exercise
or the good Offices by this country directly
in the conference to smooth away asperi-
ties and prevent the development of fric-
might jeopardize the worlds peace
These objects being attained with the po-
htical future of Morocco this country has
no particular concern at least it is inti-
mated that no such concern will be mani
rested in the conference by the United
states delegates If 1t is possible for them
to maintain position Of neutrality Touch
tng the execution of any agreement reached
by the conference for the regulation of
Moroccan affairs, Ii is stated that 1t will
probably be sufficient for the powers con-
cerned merely to lay before the Sultan of
Morocco the text OF their agreement and it
Will be for him to carry it out. What will
happen in case one power refuses to abide
Dy the conclusions reached cannot now be
foretolG, and 1t is believed that in that con-
t1ngency further instructions will be neces-
sary for the guidance of the delegates.
II ls asserted that there is no intention
on the part OF this government to enter into
any entangling alliances which would in
Volve the use Of force in combination with
other powers to carry out the agreement
but the officials here are firmly convinced
that no single power would undertake to
defy the expressed will of the other parties
to the conference.
