Will Discuss Big Questions.
MAY BE INDEMNITY TO PAY.
Expulsion of Sikhs From Bellngham
May Stir Up Ugly Mess.

Washington, Sept. 8.-While no in
formation of an official character has
reached the state department concern
ing the summary expulsion of sikhs
from Bellingham. Wash, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that if the facts were
as reported in the press Ambassador
Brice will soon be heard from. The
British government takes pride in
protecting the lives and property Of
its subjects. so 1t is expected that as
soon as the British consular officer
who is reported to be looking into the
matter has completed his investiga-
ton and communicated with the Brit
1sh embassy formal complaint will be
lodged with the state department.
Is Embarrassing.
The state department is always en-
barrassed in dealing with incidents Of
this character. owing to the fact that
the national government has no au-
thority to enter a state even to pro-
tect foreigners treaty rights. All
that the state department can do in
such case is to address the governor
Of Washington, transmitting perhaps
the complaint of the British embassy
if there should be one, and requesting
him to take steps to prevent recur-
renee of the trouble. Probably in the
end claims for damages sustained by
the individuals will be preferred.
May Bring Civil Actions.
If the aggrieved individuals care to
do so, they may bring civil actions
against the municipal authorities at
Bellingham in the local courts, just as
the Japanese restaurant and hath
house keepers have done in San Fran
cisco, and undoubtedly the state de.
partment would very much prefer that
this course be followed. If, however,
it should be found impossible to Sc
cure justice at the hands of the local
judiciary, then, as was done in the
case of the murderous attacks upon
the Italians in New Orleans some
years ago, the executive will recon.
mend to congress that indemnities be
paid to the victims.

France NOW thoroughly Alarmed at

Paris, Sept. 6,-Thc news of Mon
days sanguinary engagement near
CasAblanca has shocked as we'll as dis
turbed the public. The Moroccan stu.
alton is steadily growing worse, and
although France is constantly victori-
GUS the logged fanatical resistance of
the Moors, who appear to be mobiliz-
ing in large numbers, may necessitate
a distinct enlargement of the allied
forces in order. to bring the fighting to
an end. The fierce assaults of the en-
envy are believed to be due to Frances
failure to annihilate the Moors during
the last stages of the expedition, a re-
suit which France was unable to ac-
complish on account of the restric-
tions imposed on her by the Algeciras
conference.

Seattle, Wash.--A telegram received
