There is a radical difference between
the Mohammedans here and those of
other parts OF the world The nftv
million Mohammedans of India bow
down TO the sultan OF Turkey. and our
Moros do the same. The Arablans, the
egyptians and the Turks all acknowl-
edge allegiance TO him and this is so of
a large part of the other Mohammedans
IN Africa. The Mohammedans of Mo-
rocco think that their sultan is far SUI
pe1or to any other, and they say that
he is the only one that has the blood
OF the prophet in him. They will not
allow the Turkish sultan TO have a rep
lesentative here, and they recognize
MN neither religiously nor politically

This is an old rule. but It Is one which
holds good here In Morocco. At pres
ent the country west of Tangier is
quiet, because the sultan has bribed
Raisuli to take care of 1t. The Same
brigand, who captured an American
citizen and made the sultan pay u ran
som of $4,000 before he would let him
go, has been appointed by the sultan
the governor of the Tangter district.
His soldiers are now the only guard of
Tangier itself.
1 find them in every street, and they
are patrolling the chief roads outside
the town. 1 took donkeys yesterday
and rode out over the hills TO the villa
where Mr.. Perdicaris lived when he
was captured. l was accompanied by
my Son Jack and my turbaned guide,
Hadi Mohammed Breck, We found
sentries at every few feet and passed
through an encampment of troops mt
the edge OF the city. The soldiers wore
red Fee caps and gay Moroccan uni
forms. Most of them were bare legged
and bare footed. They We're armed
with Mauser rifles and their fierce eyes
looked out of their bearded faces at ua
without smiling. They were not at all
friendly, and when they objected to
being photographed did not insist
There are soldiers like these all along
the main road from here to Fez, the
capital of Morocco. That city lies about

from, Tangier to II is one of the most
travelled of all In Morocco. Neverthe-
less, every foreigner who goes over It
has to take O guard, furnished by
Raisuli, and to pay for his support on
the way.
RAISULI AFRAID OF ASSAssINA-
TON.
In the meantime, Raisuli holds
peculiar position In Moroccan politics.
He has bluffed the sultan and his Off
Gals, and has, as 1t were, held up the
government and the army. He has
made the nominal rulers OF the country
give up lot of hard cash. and also one
of the latest of the fat Jobs. He
knows that he has many enemies and
that the sultan would welcome his as
sassination. AS 81 result he is badly
frightened, and is trying to guard
against accident. These Moors are
wonderfully friendly with one another.
They are about the most polite people
on earth. When two of them meet,
each kisses the hands and head OF the
other They embrace and go through
more lip business than our own dear
ladies at home. / am told that Raisuli
has discontinued all such greetings, and
that, for fear he may be entertaining q
Judas whose kiss may be accompanied
by the heart thrust of a dagger or the
drawing of knife about the throat.
Indeed, the way Raisuli Is now hand
ling his callers is somewhat like that
of Russell Sage. after he was almost
blown up with dynamite. Mr.. Sage
made his visitors talk TO him through
a little window like that for genera,
letter delivery in a postoffice. Raisuli
makes all strangers stand at the door
while they talk and he remains at the
other end of the room.
A WAR OF THE TRIRES
He is now at war with the tribes on
the other side OF Tangier, and the
fighting goes on right In the city itself.

Officials BeIie0e Only Fe1c Grum-
bIerS Have Quit York.
From Tha Tribune Bureau ]

Washington Nav l5-The officials Of the
r,tbmian Canal Commission do not believe that
there is any strike OF the steam shovel men In
Panama They have heard nothing 10 that
effect from Colonel Goethals, and they are con-
ndert he would have advised them had strike
taken place They believe that few disgrUntled
steam shovel men who had gone too far to
recede gracefully have quit work, perhaps only
to take the leave 20 which they are entitled. and
that the newspaper men on the isthmus have
been rnisled into constituting a small BLUR into
a large and important strike.
Jackson Smith the commissioner in charge Of
labor is now In Washington, and he reiterated
to-day the opinion he expressed yesterday, and
which was quoted in these dispatches last night
That opinion was that the labor situation on the
isthmus was entirely satisfactory. that the de-
cIsion OF the President with regard to the wages
Of the steam shovel men had been accepted in
good part and that the work was progressing
satisfactorily in every respect
There are only 1872 steam shovel men on
tbe lob and I am absolutely certain that fully
a hundred Of them are perfectly contented and
are working as usual said Mr.. Smith to-day.
AT least one hundred of them men of fam
Nv. Their families are with them and are com
fortablv housed while the men themselves
making more money than they could possibly
make in the United States. working twelve
months in the year and saving money The
steam shovel men have never been unit, even
on the question of demanding higher wages.
Rut there were some agtatOrs among them.
and these doubtless the who have
quit If any have. But Colonel Goethals was
fully prepared for the quitting of some of the
men You know the steam shovel men re-
cruited from the regular railroad men, and the
colonel had an ample force all ready to take
the places OF any who might quit"
that committee from the steam shovel men
would come to Washington to see Secretary
Taft and ask him to take up the question of
their wages.
That is preposterous,' he said. These men
laid their before the Secretary when he
was in Panama He indicated that he might
make some ConCe ssiOns, but not all they asked
for. Then they told him they were willing to
leave II 10 the President and to abide by his
decision. The Secretary laid the matter before
the President and he made the final decision
Now they bound In good faith TO abide by
that decision, and. moreover. the decision is not
only just but generous, and they appreciate
that fact.
"Of course, MS | said yesterday the steam
shovel men, like all other Americans I'm the
tropics, can put UP pretty good bluff. They
talk loudly of the beastly climate the hard
work and the fact that they Il long way

BELGIUM FREE TO ACT.

London. May 15.-Windng up animated but

parliament were to be- and that pending this IN

what would be considered satisfactory to the Bit

tinued Belgium should be allowed to act In the
matter without interference or pressure from out
side. The British government must wait a reason

case of failure and the passing OF the Congo state
into other hands the government would snare with
the other powers In the resultant responsibility
There must, however, be a change in the system
of governing the Congo, Sir Edward said 1t oelng
impossible for the continue under its pres
ent irresponsible rule
The government always had been willing to take
part in a conference of the treaty powers, ana the
government of the United States had expressed It's
willingness to approach the question from the same
point OF view but two powers by themselves were
enough TO form conference. Inc FORMER
British government had issued invitations TO a COLI

RESULT OF AUSTRIAN ELECTIONS,
Great Gains Made by the Socialist and Anti
Semitic Parties.

Vienna May l5-The spoils OF the first election in
Austria under general suffrage have gone to the
factions which had the best party organizations.
The Socialist gains mostly in the industrial
centres of Vienna and Prague and in the German

In the last house the Socialists had only eleven
seats whereas now they have already nearly sixty
seats and they likely 10 get many more in
the rebaloting.
The Anti Senites numbered twenty represent
atves in the old house, and they have already nifty
reballots
Consequently there are two distinct features in
the coming house-a Socialist party, possibly sew
enty strong, and Anti-Semite Clerical Centre
numbering perhaps eighty ninety, the Ger
Clericals, who won twenty-s!x seats. always
make common cause with the Anti-Semites
The Young Czechs sustained crushing defeat.
In the last house they had forty-lve seats. While
in the next they will have only three. The Pan
Germans have almost entirely disappeared.
Herr Marchet, the Minister Of Public InstruC-
ton, has resigned in consequence of his defeat at
the polls yesterday. A reconstruction OF the Cabi
net is regarded certain.
