UNEASY OVER MOROCCO
General Picquart's Explanation to
Senate 4llays Fears.


Paris, Feb. 22.-Sensational reports from Eng
lish sources as to the critical situation of French
troops in Morocco combined with the fact that
the losses Of the French expedition have been
heavier this week than in any previous period
of the campaign, have caused a certain amount
of public uneasiness But this in great meas
ure is allayed by the explanation given 10 the
Senate by General Picquart, Minister Of War
Additional tribes had made their submission
said the minister and according to his latest IN
formation this example would certainly be fol-
lowed by other revolted tribes. who were tireo

name lines possible. in accordance with the rules
imposed by the Hague conference the Mussui-
man religion was respected. and dispensaries
established at the military stations had been re-
served for the use OF the natives and would De

ton OF the country, an end which was now III
sight France could then restrict herself 10 Or
ganizing the police in the ports
These explanations satisfied the Senate
though there was opposition. Senator Gauolh
de Villaine, to whose motion TO censure Geliei"i
PicQuart was replying, argued that, the Algeclid0
treaty being violated, the Prime Minister ousht
to be irnpeached. The press now takes a more
ontiu1istic view of the situation. the average
opinion being that expressed by the Radlcal Vi
gan Petite Republique." namely that as II Is
too late TO retire without the loss OF prestige the
best thing is TO take matters philosophlcaiiy anu
remain cool. following the example OF Engial'u
during the Transvaal war.
The dispute which is going on IN the RUSSIAN
and Austrian press on the subject OF the pro
jected Sandjak railway does not disturb the
eouanirnity of French statesmen. and no creoll
whatever is attached here TO the wild rumor
current couple of days ago that Turkey was
prenaring to go to var with Russia. NJ. Con-

THE TOXIC EXPOSITION.
Japan Desrous of adequate Appro-
ariati0n bu United States.

-rol,io Feb 22-Since the publication in Japan
of that norton of the Presidents message bear
ing on participation by the United States In the
international exposition to be heid III IoNlo III
1912 there has been much speculation as 10 the
ax+ent TO which America would take part
The exposition. it should be remembered IS
strictly a government undertaking. Bills have
hoo,, in+roduced into the Diet providing for the
,tf+,re, of the customs duties from all exhibits
ond also for protecting the patents and copy
rights of exhibitors. In a general way the ma
chinery of the exposition is moving, and be1ore
the end of 1903 everything will be well under
vav All the first class powers have slSniied
their intention OF being represented at the expo
sition and altogether some eight or nine gov
arnments have made announcements ana m
,,t,iao as 70 the regulations. But it is fully
realized here that much depends upon What the
I-nited States may decide. In fact. some of the
60 o1ose mowers have stated frankly that they
,o,,ld like TO know what America proposes to
do in Janan. and the Japanese in their turn are
c,rious 10 know whether and to what extent
the government. government Will respond
10 the very handsome recommendation made by
President Roosevelt.
viscount Kaneko, president of the exposition
has written q letter TO Mr.. O'Brien, the American
Ambassador in which he expresses gratlncation

for had

Significantly he goes TO say that, In view vi.
tho importance attached by the Japanese gov
ernroent to the constantly growing trade and
narticularly the traditional friendship between
tba United States and Japan. he desires the
ambassador to use his influence toward inducing
the American government to make as generous
an anproprIation as the occasion. IN his opinion,
i,,stifies. Viscount Kaneko points out that when
the ST Louis exposition was opened in 1904
JaDan was unfortunately engaged in war, but
notwithstanding this the japanese government
concentrated the sum of 100000 as Japans
ebara in the exposition He then goes back to
tho record of 1898 and states that the appropria-
+ion of s36O 600 by the Japanese government for
rho Worlds Fair in Chicago was entirely apart
from, the large interest taken by individuals and
cornorations in the exposition. There is dis
annointment in business circles generally that no
greater sum has been mentioned for the Ameri-
cop renre5entation Viscount kaneko specih-
callv states that in his belief whatever sum the
I-nitad States decides to appropriate will be Il
sort of standard for other nations.

and General Lopes commander OF the munich

This paper expresses the opinion that everything
indicates that the government Is in fear Of
armed revolutionary outbreaks
The political situation in which the govern
r7ent finds itself to-day is critical II is fairly
caught between two fires the renewal of the
popular agitation for increased liberties on one
hand. the reactionary conspiracy on the other
and it seems to he trying to fight both at the
same time. prominent politician who was
involved with the reactiOnists has been sent to

general elections fixed for April :. and in their

Conditions at Setubal are reported to be critl-
cal. and the gunboat Zaire has been sent to
that port.
King Manuel to-day received the wives of the
marines OF the battleship Vasco da Cana, whom
he has pardoned for mutiny in April, 1906
The women, kneeing thanked his majesty for
