Events Moving More Rapidly In The
 Moroccan Disturbance
Germany Admits the Situation Is An Unexpected One and Will Trust To the Honor of France For the Present.

Paris, Sept. IA ray of hope for the possible solution of the Moroccan problem came from the Moorish em- pire tonight in the announcement that the tribesmen were ready to negotiate for peace. Vice Admiral Philbert con- firms the news in an official cable gram stating that a delegation from the Arabs had asked Gen. Drude for an armistice. The armistice was to have occurred today, but the result is not yet known. No great expectations are based upon the announcement. for there is some suspicion that the move may be a trick of the Moors to gain time.
 At home new features in the Moroc- can question will be found in the opin- ions of the German press upon the possible indemnification for Germany thatgrew out of the bombardment of Casa Blanca and the effect of the pro- ject to police Morocco by France and $ ain.
 In an editorial article accepted as inspired. the Temps suggests that the question of damages be submitted to an international committee similar to that which was summoned after the bombardment of Alexandria Premier Clemenceau has summoned a cabinet meeting for Monday to consider the Moroccan question in all its phases.

frequent. The common rat is said to propagate every five weeks, and thrives in proportion as its surround ings are unsanitary. As a consequence of the unusual conditions which have obtained in San Francisco since the fire, rats have propogated to an unus- ual degree.
 The problem which confronts the health authorities then, it is plain presents no insurmountable difficult ties. Sanitary nuisances must be abated and the rats caught or poisop- ed. It is proposed to go about getting these results in the. following ways, which have proved highly effective here in stamping out a similar out break of the disease several years ago. Every vessel which leaves or enters a California port shall be fumigated with sulphur. As result no rat which enters a ship in San Francisco or elsewhere, leaves it alive. The lines which make fast the vessels to the wharves are fitted with rat guards. When a person presents symptoms of the plague, he will at once be remov- ed to the isolation pavilions. The room previously occupied will be rem dered air tight and fumigated with sulphur, then washed or sprayed with a carbolic acid solution and the con- tents of the room burned. The rest of the house will similarly be disin- fected. The names of all persons re- siding there will be taken, also all persons who come into intimate con- tact with a patient in order that they may be kept under medical supervis- ion during the following ten days, the period in which the disease if present would make it's appearance. When deemed wise, the place of habitation. if Q shack. will be destroyed by fire. Many such shacks are maintained in defiance of law, and it is the intention to destroy all of them which lie with in the boards Jurisdiction. All the rats caught or found dead will be ticketed and microscopically examined. When plague infection is found in a place. the locality from which the TO- dent came is at once subjected to san itary attack. For this purpose the city has been districted and officered. Al the international congress of physicians in Lisbon. Portugal, in 1906 it was declared that safeguarding com munities against the plague should be an international function. Recogniz- ing the validity of this opinion, the mayor of San Francisco has requested the federal government to assume con trol of the situation here. This re- quest has been granted"

San Francisco. Sept. lone addi- tional case of bubonic plague was found today by the board of health and four more suspects have been soilated and are under observation. The board authorized the establishing of a tenn porary hospital camp at Ingleside. Thence the inmates of the city and county hospitals will be moved and the latter buildings, which are old frame structures. long ago condemned, will be burned down.

Dis sension in the board as to the advis- aAlity of certain measures proposed for the eradication of the plague, and a feeling on the part of at least one member that the new mayor should have an opportunity to appoint a resignations.
 The board at meeting today at tended by President Ragensberger of
 
 Austin of the marine hospital service. adopted a report on the plague situa- ton prepared by Health Officer Wat kins. It is in part and in substance as follows: Because alarmist reports which are unwarranted by facts re- garding the public health of San Fran cisco have appeared in the public prints of other cities, it is deemed ex- pedient to give out officially to the Associated Press a statement of facts which have been from the first visible on the bulletin board of the central
 The first case of bubonic plague ap- peared May 27 at the United States Marine hospital in a Finnish sailor taken from the tug Wizard. There after no cases appeared in the city un- til Aug. F, when two cases were re- ported from the North Beach district. Immediately the officials of all hos pitals and dispensaries were warned to be on the lookout for similar cases with the result that 70 date eighteen authentic cases in all have been re- ported. Of these eighteen cases. nine are still living and in a fair way to recovery.
 "There exists today no doubt that the cases are the so called bubonic plague, nor of the means by which it may be eradicated. Wherever inter national commerce exists, in propor- tiOn to the volume of commerce, rats and the diseases of rats, one of which is the plague. are bound to appear.

GERMANY IS REASONABLE.

Berlin. Sept 7.-Germany's reply to Frances circular note to the sigma tories of the Algecires convention will not be drawn up before Monday next It is understood in the most influen- tial quarters that Germany will not have a negative reply to the sugges- tion that the international Moroccan police be temporarily constituted from purely French and Spanish clements. Some reserves. however. will certainly be made on the subject IL is fully un- derstood here that the present situa- tion in Casa Blanca and Mazagan was not fOreseen at the time of the Algecires convention was drawn up and requires to be specially dealt with. but Germany will consent for the mo- ment to rely on French loyalty to the engagements entered into. No limita- tion therefore, is likely to be placed on the French military movements so long as they are necessary for the protection of Europeans and Moroccan corts.

GREAT SPORT IN THE
 AUTO SPEED CONTEST
At the End of Fifteen Hours Not a Man Had Been Killed Though Sew eral Were Hurt.

New York, Sept. 1.-Seven racing au- tomobiles whirled around the track at Morris Park, early today in the twen- ty-four hour auto speed contest. Nine of the autos started last night but during the night two of the machines broke down and one machine exploded while being filled with gasoline and two men were slightly injured.
 The score at the fifteenth hour was as follows Bernin, Renault car. 695 miles: Smelzer. LoZier car. 629; Kilpat rick. Hotchkiss car. 563: Campbell. AL len livingstone car. 40l; Fuller. Deid- erich car. 400 miles; Mack, Deiderich car. S42 miles.
 The Lozier was driven by Michene- which in the fourth place in the race was put out of commission by an acci- dent shortly before noon. Kitchener was making fast time on the turns when one of the front tires gave way and the machine swerved sharply to- ward the fence. The driver pluckily stuck to the wheel and guided the racer through an open space where the fence had been removed and missed a post by a narrow margin. As the car reached the rough ground outside the fence it turned over throwing Kitchener and a mechanic thirty feet away. They were badly bruised but no bones were broken.
 A few moments later, the tire on one of the front wheels of the other Lozier exploded on the stretch and the racer made a dash for the fence but Smelzer managed to keep on the track. A new tire wtis put on and Linkround took charge of the car, Smelzer retiring for rest After a few rounds, Linkround ran off the track and through the fence but escaped uninjured. He ran the car outside the fence and reentered the track through the gate without shutting off the power. The spectators

THE TWO SUlTANS.

Tangier, Sept. 7.-Events in Moroc- co are marching on with great rapid ity. Yesterday both sultans. Abdul Aziz and Mulal Mafig. were reported to be leaving their rival capitals. Fez and Morocco City. at the head of armies which had been levied in hot haste and which may decide within a fortnight the destiny of Morocco's monarchy. The immediate objective of these fOroes is the ancient city of Rabat.

TAFT SKINS BRYAN
 IN TACOMA TOWN
Discusses a Few Little Matters the Great Commoner Has Brought to His Attention.

Tacoma. Sept 7.-Secretary Taft twice today lifted the gage of contro- versy hurled at him by Bryan. He spoke at Olympia and Tacoma to two big audiences under the auspices of the chamber of commerce of Tacoma. Taft travelled from Portland to Ia coma today and was the guest of the same organization at banquet to- night. During the stay in this city he and his family were the guests of s. A. Perkins. proprietor of the Ledger and News. Ten thousand persons cheered him this afternoon at Wright's park, where he spoke in the open air. and said in part:
 'Mr Bryan in discussing some Of my views on the tariff and other mat ters. has done me the honor to call me a great postponer.' With respect to the tariff I was in favor of revi- sion last year and I am still in favor of revision. but I am a party man and l hope a practical man, and I realize the lack of wisdom and the danger. both to the party and the country. in attempting a revision of the tariff in the midst of a presidential campaign. I am convinced that the republican party as party will come to the re- vision of the tariff immediately after the next presidential election. and am in favor of practical results. not of theories or platforms. of doing things which should be done. If they can not be done this year I am in fa- vor of doing it next year.
 "F'or two presidential campaigns MT Bryan has urged with all the force possible, the free coinage of silver at Is to 1, but now he Is postponing the issue until he can bring it forward as a panacea in times of financial disas- ter. for which it is fitted and not as a real remedy but as a means of get ting into power.
 Secondly. he is now emphasizing the subject of anti-imperialism and the oppression of the Filipinos. but he has postponed the issue of anti-imperial- ism until by his effort the treaty of Paris was adopted and the sovereignty of the Philippines transferred from Spain to the United States. This is really the only piece of actual affirnN ative. constructive statesmanship with which Bryan's name has been connect ed. and he has now for eight years been attempting to explain that away. He postponed anti-imperialism until it has fastened the Philippines to the United States by bonds that can not be discovered until we have discharged our full duty in the islands.
 Bryan went around the world. It was fondly hoped by democrats that by reason of his experience he would become safe and sane and would unite again the different clements of his party. Instead of that he has dem onstrated that his trip has not pro- duced the hoped for result, and he de- livered in Madison Square Garden his famous speech in favor of government ownership. The effect was to destroy the rosy anticipations of his triumphal candidacy and in many democratic quarters the government ownership platform was repudiated. so. what did Bryan do? He postponed the issue in definitely. In the face of this record I submit that his courage in calling another man a 'postponer' should com mand the greatest admiration"

ALL OVER AT
 SACRAMENTO Irrigation Congress fin-
 iSheS It'SlabOrS
Next Session Goes to AL buquerque---The North west Alone Opposing.

Sacramento. Sept. 7.-When the irri- gation congress convened this morning John c. Fox secretary of the committee on resolutions. who was about to speak at the aGJournment yesterday, was recognized and moved the previous question on the committee report. He was opposed to considering the reso- lution which Judge Raker sought to have added. providing for free timber. until after the main report was adopt ed W. R. King of Oregon criticised the effort of Fox. He told of the de- feat of Bakers resolution on timber in the committee and characterized the manner of handling the vote as rather unfair.
 King then returned his attention to ex-Governor Pardee who he said was able as a committee chairman but that he forgot politics in the com- mittee and only remembered yesterday when the thought occurred to him that he must vote for tariff. being a repub- lican. He said politics was the cause of the opposition to Raker's resolution.
 Judge Nave of Arizona agreed with King as to the political feature but said he was inclined to agree with Raker and to the merits of the propo sition to admit timber free, but 1t would not be wise for the congress to place itself on record on political mat ters and thus stir up strife and lose the favor of congress. For this reason. and to clear the situation he suggested the withdrawal of the resolution relat- fpo- to fhe Philinnine Supar He moved the adoption of the report. eliminating the resolution in question. After some further discussion. in which several delegates spoke more Or less warmly on the subject. the committee report was adopted with the exception of the section relating to the sugar tariff. and Judge Raker's resolution was withdrawn. Arthur Briggs then sue ceeded in having a resolution. calling upon the department of agriculture to promulgate a new and less arbitrary ruling in connection with the use of sulphur in the drying of fruit, passed.
 A special resolution which opposes over grazing was passed. The report of the committee on permanent organ ization as to the officers was adopted. On the question of the next meeting at Albuquerque all the states represented voted for Albuquerque with the excep- ton of Washington. Oregon and Idaho. California was excused from voting. After the adoption of resolutions of thanks to the various California dele gations and the citizens for their splendid work for the congress. ad- journment was had at noon.
