BERLIN, Aug. 7-Some discomfort is evil
denced in the German press today in the
matter of the action taken by France at
Casa Blanca. The Koenlische Zeitung

What 100 sailors succeeded in doing
could. in our estimation, have been equal
ly well accomplished by an equal force of
policemen"
Continuing, this paper expresses regret
that the International police has not been
organized more rapidly.
The Boersen Zeitung says France
has occupied Casa Blanca in order to re-
store order and provide for the security

remain there and thence gradually draw
Morocco into her power as Great Britain
has done with Egypt and Japan with
Korea.

The Alaska prospector., 1907-12-26
Deputy Clerk Henderson has re-

 esived . telegram from Judge Wick ersham calling for . jury term Of court here, beginning January 20th. It is stated he made this order at the request Judge Reid.
 The question which is now agitat- ing the legal minds of the city, is, Who is the judge of this division, or are there two judges, or none st all? If Judge Reid is the legal judge, then the order for court session should emananate from him, rather than Wickersham. The latter resigned, his resignation has been duly sc- eepted and his successor, Judge Reid, nominated. The latter's nomination is in the hands of the judiciary cOm- mittee of the senate. awaiting action. Tn the opinion of some attorneys, he cannot cit on the bench until favora ble action Is taken, CT tie senate ao- journs. Then, under the law, he may receive 3 recess appointment and serve until the senate az ain meets.
 If Judge WickeIsham resigned, vita the qualification that he serve until his successor was duly qualified, and the president accepted the re- signstion, Ni5h this qualification, then it is manifest that Wickersham is judge - provided, oicourse, that Reid is not. But to ccnfound mat ters, the president merely accepted Wickersham's resignation, without any qualifications or reservations, and to the lay mind it locks as ii ie had lcrt his job.
 The whole trouble, ss usual, lie. with that august body known as the United States senate, whose mem hers are 90 di2nified that they can't get move on themselves and expe- aite business. The senate should either confirm CT reject the presi- dents nomination. and have done with it. But on the slightest pretext, through what is known as senatorial courtesy" action upon all appoint Msnt may be deferred indefinitely.

The world has wholly erroneous

Illustrated Mr.. Nye's weekly output for
several years. 1t is true that during
the latter period Of his life the humor-
list was bald on top Of his head, but he
had quite fringe Of hair at the sides

him taken in 1879, when he was editor
Of the Laramie Boomerang, which
shows him with a full set Of whiskers,
though a fur cap serves to leave the
matter Of his upper badness at that
period an open question.
Those McDougall pictures, though
they enhanced the humor Of Nye's
writings, were not pleasing to Nye him
self. 1t Is related that Nye requested
the managing editor Of the American
Press Association, which syndicatea
his weekly letters during the last seven
years Of his life, to set another artist.
McDougall, he said, made him look
ridiculous. Accordingly the artist g.
G. Bush was cast for the Nye perform
ance, but the newspapers taking the
service forthwith emitted such a roar
that it was deemed necessary to return
to Mr.. McDougall. Mr.. Bush's pictures
were good, but they had too much hair
to suit the public, which had been
dieted on badness until badness and
Nye had become brothers.
