DIPLOMATS FEAR TROUBLES IN

WIDESPREAD CLASH.

MUTUAL CHARGES OF BREACH
OF FAITH ARE MADE IN
FRANCE AND SPAIN.

Berlin, Aug. 27.-While the Euro,
peans in Morocco are fighting desper.
ately for life against the fanatic
tribesmen, possibilities of serious
complications among the nations Of
Europe are causing the greatest anx.
iety to diplomats in the continental
capitals. Constant conferences are
being held in the various cities by
representatives Of the foreign bureaus
of the governments, and every dis
patch from Africa is scanned with Sc.
rious efforts to read between the
lines.
Mutual charges of breach of faith,
as far as the maintenance of the AL.
geciras convention, are made openly
in the French and Spanish papers,
though the governments themselves
have thus far carefully refrained from
criticism of one another.

In Germany the chief interest cen.
tiers in the methods employed by the
French in the subjugation of the out

paid to the Spanish course is in the
nature of speculations as to whether
that country is going to fulfill what
France claims is its duty in the mat
ter of putting down the uprising.
Events of the week have led to a
peculiarly significant situation in the
Moorish kingdom and in Europe gen.

Foa SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Amsrl'
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri.
can Medical Association has become
30 pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose Of the Doctors OF
the Regular or Allopathic school, o.
which the Association is chiefly com.
posed, is to secure the passage Of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice OF medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice OF Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers Of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session Of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them.
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
NIX mil r1x
work OF active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time In the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.

567.S9. Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21, 906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at. the rate of
about 100000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas.

JUDGE PAGE MORRIS IMPOSES

He offered a formal motion for arrest
of Judgment before the sentence was
passed.
Indicted Last Fall.
The Omaha road was convicted in
April OH an indictment returned by
the federal grand jury the preceding
fall; 1t charged the road with repay
ing elevation charges on fifty counts,
each count covering the rebates on one
separate carload of grain shipped to
the Spencer Grain company. Judge
Norris has spent some time in consid-
ering the advisability of filming the
company the minimum or maximum
fine allowed by law on each count, and
for several days this week the matter
was argued by the attorneys for the
road and for the government.
1t was in the judges power to fine
the road as high as $1,OOO,0O0, placing
the maximum upon each count. But
in the sentence yesterday he recog-
nized the fact that, although fifty cars
were shipped they were sent ON only
seventeen separate dates, making, in
his opinion, only seventeen distinct Of
lenses and not fifty.
Will Stand as Precedent.
He devoted considerable time in
passing sentence to explaining his pc.
sition on that point. His decision will
stand as precedent in similar cases
in the future.
The court held that the payment of
the refund in one check or ten made
no difference in the number of offenses
against the law, as the offense was
completed when one check was re.
ceived. The sentence was thus on the
entire case rather than OH any partic-
ular count.

Cedar Falls, Iowa, Aug. 27.-An ex
plosion in the rear of George Sheever

started a blaze that caused damage
to the extent of $4,000. 1t was after
midnight before the fire was put un'

er with their stocks of goods, were
practically destroyed. 1t is believed
that quantity of dynamite kept in
stock was Jared, causing it to ex'

ing gas was ignited, setting fire to the
building, thus causing the dynamite
to go of. The shock of the explosion
was felt for several miles, and hun.

In the first place the ball was struck
by the hand, later on heavy gloves
were worn or cords strapped around
the palm; and the racquet was con.
trived during the fifteenth century IN
France, where the game was very pop.
