The Moroccan Situation.

The Empire of Morocco. an absolute
despotism. has been in a state of tur-
MOL for many years past. owing to the
natural course of events in country
unrestricted by any laws, civil or rel-
gious, and also on account of the steady
warfare which the Sultan. Mulai add ell
Aziz. has had to wage against the pre-
tenders to the throne. This caused a
Feeling OF uneasiness among the Arab
tribes in Algeria, the adjoining French
territory. and led to efforts on the part
OF France to assume guardianship over
Morocco. Germany wasS not willing to
unreservediy agree to this, being second
only to Great Britain In the extent OF
her Interests in Morocco. In 1902 the
