LOOMS UP BIGGER EVERY DAY.
French People Now Realize That Mo-
mentuous Events Are Inevitable.

FrcnCH TSOpic NOW ncdii<c iHot "o-
mentuous Events Are Inevitable.
Paris, Sept. 10.-A ray of hope for a
possible solution of the Moroccan
problem came from the Moorish en-
pire Saturday in the shape of an an
nouncement that the tribesmen were
ready to negotiate for peace. Vice
Admiral Philibert confirmed this news
In an official c%ablegram, stating that a
delegation from the warning Arabs
had asked Gen. Drude for an armistice
pending a settlement of peace terms.
The armistice was to have expired
yesterday, but the result is not yet
known.
No great expectations are based
upon this announcement, for there is
some suspicion that the move may be
a trick of the Moors to gain time to
bring in reinforcements.
Looms Bigger Every Day.
At home the new features in the Mo-
roccan question from the French
standpoint will be found in the opin.
ions of the German press upon the
question of naturalization for Ger
man losses that grew out of the bonn
barment of Casablanca and the effect
of the project to police Morocco by
France and Spain.
The French nation has suddenly
come to the realization that the Mo-
rocsan question looms up bigger every
day. In Paris the situation is now the
main subject of discussion by the peo-
pie, who feel that momentous events
in which France is bound to play a
leading role are inevitable.
Plans Vigorous Campaign.
Casablanca, Sept. 9.-The armistice
sanctioned by Gen. Drude has been
f%ruitless, as the delegates of Caid
Mazi, chief of the Chamula tribe, have
not put in an appearance. Gen.
Drude has planned a vigorous cam
paign against the natives in case the
Moors remain obdurate. Natives de-
clare that numerous members of the
tribesmen are encamped at Taddert
awaiting the arrival of Mulai Hafg
or his representative before making
another attack.

BIG BROKERS ARE
FORCED TO WALL
WATSON & CO., BIGGEST GRAIN
BROKERS IN COUNTRY,
CLOSE DOORS.
FAILURE WAS A SURPRISE
HIT BY SHRINKAGE IN GREAT
NORTHERN AND NORTHERN
PACIFIC STOCKS.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE failure OF
Watson & Co., members OF the New
York Stock and Produce exchanges
and of the Chicago Board of Trade,
was announced in those exchanges
yesterday. No cause was assigned for
the failure, nor was any estimate or
the liabilities and assets made public.
The firm has extensive connections in
the West, maintaining offices in Du-
luth, Minneapolis, Fargo and Winni-
peg. They are said to have carried
on n of the biggest grain brokerage
businesses In the country, besides
trading actively in railroad stocks,
particularly those of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads.
Accountants at Work.
w. Frank Newell, manager of the
firms New York office, was named as
assignee. Expert accountants have
been put to work on the books and a
statement Of the financial condition
of the firm will soon be issued. The
members of the firm are Louis T. Wat
son, Henry P. Watson, Charles r. An
derson and Herschell V. Jones. Louis
T. Watson is the only member of the
firm residing In this city, the others
being residents Of Minneapolis.
Since it's organization in 1901 the
firm had made a speciality of dealing
In grain futures. II. V. Jones, former
ly publisher of a newspaper devoted to
the grain interests of the West, trav.
eled extensively in the wheat belt and
issued frequent reports of crop condi-
tons.
Failure Unexpected.
1t was generally understood that the
firm had advised its patrons to buy
grain this year and that both the com
pany and its patrons profted thereby.
The announcement Of its failure was
therefore unexpected on the Produce
exchange.
On the Stock exchange, however, it
was understood that the firm had
heavy commitments in Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroad stocks
and that they suffered chiefly from the
enormous shrinkage in the market
values of those securities.

Stained Glass UindOzCs.

Something in the nature Of sentimental re-
vfval has occurred in Plymouth Church since
ex-senator Stephen NJ. Griswold offered few
months ago TO fit the church out with nineteen
stained glass windows. So many of the old
members of the congregation have raised OBJ
lection to the granting of extensive privi-
iege to one member that the officials have been
compelled to reject in part the Senator's pro-
windows Eight other members have offered TO
put in window each. The church itself Will
put in one window memorial TO DR.. Beecher.
Mr.. Griswold's windows Will be placed on the
ground floor, in the body Of the building. where
tie spaces are smallest. TWO will be left as
they are at present for future memorials. The
members who are to give single windows will
have their gifts placed in the gallery, while
that TO be paid for by the church viii be
placed in the front of the building. There are
two other windows in the front Of the building
which will be converted into memorials by the
church when the occasions arise. The cost Of
the seventeen windows will be about S2S.oe.
1t is expected that the first Of them will be
ready by April
