engineering, agricultural and commercial
experts.
The action of the territorial organiza-
ton has been decided upon. The geo
graphical commission will wait until at
fairs in Morocco grow more quiet and set
tied. and then a scientific expedition will
be sent into the territory, on the lines sug-
gested by Secretary Straus. and thor
ough investigation of the possibilities in
the soil. the climate and the position for
a colony will be made. II the report is a
satisfactory one, diplomatic and financial

"Mr. Zangwill, in his speeches, likewise
declared that the Galveston work has been
eminently satisfactory to date, but made
the important announcement that the ex-
pertinent of diverting Jewish immigrants
from the port of New York, so as to re-
lieve the congestion in the large eastern
towns of the United States has been sus-
pended temporarily. and no further ship
ments of immigrants will be made for
short time. The cause OF the temporary
suspension of the experiment he stated to
be the unsettled financial state In
America
1t is explained here that the SUSPENSION
at Galveston, to which Mr.. Zangwiil made
reference, was prompted by the co-operat-
Ing committee in this country. owing to
the fact that, by reason of the severity of
the Industrial depression and the uncer-
tainty as to how long it would last, 1t was
found difficult to place the immigrants as
rapidly as they might arrive, and 1t was
feared that a congestion at Galveston
might ensue A steamer carrying $50 i'm
