 calIy...High Tariff Work.

Paris, March 26.-The French press unanimously appreciates the gravity of the governments decision to bring the sultan of Morocco to req son and with no exception the news papers support the cabinets determi- nation to restore French prestige in North Africa by the occupation of Oudja, which, it is considered will make the Moroccan authorities under- stand that Frances national dignity can no longer permit the Moors to disregard with impunity their solemn |agreements.
 The Figaro to-day says:
 "Frenchmen expect the government to carry out its decision cooly but firmly"
 M. Dubief, who was minister of commerce and later minister of the interior in the Rouvier cabinet in an interview to-day was quoted as de- Iclaring that the sultan's responsibil- lity was undeniable. He added: | cally. Pacific penetration is good thing but France must not suffer thereby. The assassination of Dr Mauchamp ought to be the last out rage permitted"
 The government has given notice of its intention to reply fully to-day to interpellations on the Moroccan situation in the chamber of senate, Foreign Minister Pichon being pre- pared to furnish any information de- manded.
 The French column of occupation which is to move on Oudja will be composed of attachments of the sec ond regular of Spahis, the second and sixth African rifles and contingents from the zouaves and foreign legion, large hody of which he been camp I ed at Lalla Marnia, in proximity to the frontier, since last year.
 France does not expect any opposi- tion upon the part of any power against the course she has mapped out in regard to Morocco. The gov. ernment emphatically denies that the occupation of Oudja can be regarded as an invasion, or as an aggression The government desires it to be un- derstood that France is not taking the step to enforce her position, as holding European mandate, but to compel respect for France.
 The officials view of the situation is as follows:
 "The question is entirely between France and Morocco. There is not the slightest reason for outside com. plications. France is not actuatet by ulterior motives. The occupation of Oudja is for the purpose of demon strating to Morocco that she cannot fiout France with impunity. Here tofore France has been extremel, llenient. When an outrage occurred she has contented herself with pre- senting her claims through diplomat, channels. These have been disre garded so long that France has beer compelled to teach the sultan a les son. The commander of the armore, cruiser Jeanne d'Arc, when that yes sel arrives at Tangier, will hand { list of the French demands to Mo hammed Fl Torres. the representativ, Iof the sultan. Besides satisfaction for the murder of Dr Mauchamp an, the organization of Moorish polio, force on the Algerian frontier, Mo rocco will be required to put an ent to the anarchistic conditions undet which the lives of foreigners of al nations in Moroccan territory ar, constantly endangered. France be lieves that the sultan will yield with out any trouble.
