SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF ExCLU-
 SION BILL IS CAUSE.
UneasIness Has Been Intensifed By the Delay of a Reply From Wash

Tokio. Jan. 12.--Incoming cable grams indicating an overwhelming sentiment in America in favor of an ex- clusion bill, are causing much uneasi- ness among the leaders of all shades of politicts, who have repeatedly ex- pressed the conviction that the Ameri- cans did not desire to discriminate against Japanese, and would accept the attitude of the Japanese govern ment as evidence of its sincere desire not to embarrass the American gov ernnent and at the same time save the amour propre of the Japanese.
 Uneasiness has been intensified by the delay of reply from Washington to Japanese note of December 3l.

Paris, Jan. I3--A special dispatch % The MatIn from Tapgier. says that Raf- suli, the bandit. has joined Mulai Hand and that heVstill persists in his refus- al to give up Caid Sir Harry Mac Lean except by order of the new leader.
 Advices from Rabat to The Matin state that Abdel AziS's court Is terror stricken by the news that Mulai Hahd has been proclaimed Sultan.
 The Matin understands that recent conferences between Premier, Clemen- ceau and the French representatives at Berlin and Tangier make 1t practic- ally certain that it will be absolutely unnecessary to codify the French pol icy in Moroco.

if St0fIn Stfhke8 NhlcA&Ds k Chicago Jan. 12.-Chicago and it's enyirons were cut off for several hours today from wire communications from other points by a snow and wind storm which began. before dawn and ragged without "a break all day. Snow con- 8inues to fan tonight. A noftheast' gale drove bIinding masses of wet snow before 1t. The warmth of the atmos- phere caused the heavy flakes partly to melt and to stick to whatever they touched. As a consequence overbur- dened wires and poles were put out of commission in all directions and wire communications are at standstiii for hours.
 Electric car lines to suburbs were blocked and even the downtown quar- ter transportation was slow and uncer- tain.
 The fire alarm telegraph service of Chicago was so much crippled that half of the alarms received at the central station could not be communicated to the engine companies by the usual means and many delays in sending ap- paratus to burning building were re- corded. None of the fires resulted se- friousiy. however.
 Havana Feels storm.
 Havana. Jan 12.-A heavy northwest gale today drove high seas against the ocean front sweeping over the Malecon sea wall and inundating the lower part of the Prado and adjacent streets to the depth of several feet.
 The lower section of Vedada. su- burb, was also inundated. A fireman, while engaged in rescuing persons from flooded houses in vedado. fell into the water and was drowned. Much dam age was done to the hotel Miramar, and scores of residences on Gulf Av- enue. the lower floors of which were submerged.
 Entrance or exit from the harbor was impossible during the gale. Great waves striking Moro hurled the spray sixty feet over the lantern of the lighthouse. The storm Is subsiding tonight.

MOROCCO IS EXCITED
THERE IS MUCH CONSERVATION
 AMONG OFFICIALS.
Counters Who Have Recently Arrived, Announce That the People of Meqmimex Have Proclaimed
 NIulRi Hafd Sultan.

Tangier, Jan. I2.-There is much consternation among Moroccan officials at the sensational news from Fez, an- nouncing the proclsiming of Mulai Hafd as Sultan and the dangerous conditions now prevailing in that city.
 Couriers who have arrived here an- nouuce also that the people of Mequi- neg have proclaimed Hulai Hafid Sul- tan. According to the latest informa- tion from Fez. the Ulemas. or wise men. were forced to decree the overthrow of Abdei Aziz the Sultan of record. and proclaim Mulai Hafd sultan in his place by the attitrde of the populace who were greatly excited-oxeE ranQrts that Abdet Aziz had sold the country to France E
 Muiai fEahd was proclaimed sultan nnder conditions which he must ac- cept. Among these conditions are the following:
 That he reject the Aigeciras act; ex- pels the French troops from Morocco, prohibits access to the interior of Eu- ropeans who, with the Jews. 1t is set forth. should be allowed to occupy quarters in the ports reserved for them; prohibits Moorish subjects from plac- ing themselves under the protection of foreign consulates; secures Morocco's rights in the frontier question with Algeria and suppresses taxation.
 
 Frnnee Embarrassed.
 Paris, Jan. 12s--The French Govern ment Is greatly embarrassed at the un- expected turn of events in Morocco. The proclaiming of Mulai Hafid Sultan at Fez was coincident with the ar rival in Paris of Mohammed sidi el Mokhn, who came here as Finance Min ister to Abdel Aziz to negotiate q loan of S30, 100000 and the march on Rabat of Gen DArmade. commander of the French forces in Morocco, with 5000 men.
 In a twinkllng the entire situation has become changed and the whole country Is threatened with civil war It is all the more serious for France as the dispatches which will be re- ceived relating to the situation leaves no doubt as to the fanaticaf appeal of the supporters of Mulai Hahd being directed chiefly against France, and a holy war might arouse Frances Mo- hammedan subjects across the Algerian frontier.

PLOT INVOLVES MANY.
Republican Leader Is Said TO Have
Headed Conspiracy.

Madrid. February 2.-According to
news received here the assassinations
of King Carlos and the Crown Prince
were executed under the orders of the
republican, Ferreira, and the intention
was to assassinate the whole Portu-
guese royal family.
Premier Franco had an intimation of
these intentions, and fearing that the
police would be unable to give the
royal family adequate protection at
Villa vicosa, had arranged for their re-
turn to Lisbon, taking many precau-
tionary measures for their safe journey,
such as stationing special service police
and detectives at various points and
occupying the landing station by strong
forces
1t seems that altogether some 30 men
concerned in the plot were secreted in
the trees along the Villa Vicosa road
in the vicinity of the landing station,
and at other points along the route. A
group was stationed In the Praco Do
Commercio. There were dozen men

JEWISH TEMPLE FINISHED.
Handsome Building Is Dedicated by
Columbus Congregation.

Columbus, Miss, February 2.-(Spe-
cial 1.-THE thrifty and energetic con-
gregation of Jews in Columbus are to-
da.-, perhaps the most happy and de-
serving flock in many parts of the
country, for they have seen the fruits
of their untiring and best energies
ripen into the completed stage. Their
new temple is finished and the house
of worship is indeed subject of UNI
told credit to them. 1t is perfect
gem in every particular and consider
ing the comparative smallness in num-
bers of the local following. it is almost
wonderful that so liberal a subscrip-
ton was given for the home.
The building was formally completed
Thursday, according to contract, and
the dedicatory exercises commenced
Friday night. Many prominent rabbis
from principal southern cities are here
in attendance upon the exercises.
Friends and relatives of the local con-
gregation are also visiting and the en-
tire number of out-of-towners swell
the visiting list to fully 100. The visi-
tors and local newspaper people will
be entertained at supper tonight at the
Hotel Gilmer as the guests of the local
congregation. An Informal reception

and an important meeting looking toward
the formation of the club will be held
at the Rebie hall at 7:30 o'clock tomor-
row evening That the formation of such
club will result in much general good
there is no doubt, and the list that was
taken around Friday to ascertain those
persons that were desirious of becoming
members now has over hundred names
and there are a great many more people
to be seen yet.
The purpose of the meeting tomorrow
evening will be to elect officers and COM
mittees to look after the interest of the
club One of the prime objects of the
club will be to see that the prohibition
law is enforced as nearly as possible
By this, it is not meant that the laws
in the city so far have not been en-
forced to the best of the officers ability,
but it is believed by a great many people
that with the formation of such club
the sale of whisky in and around the city,
if there is any being sold, can be ma
terially lessened. 1t is also understood
that the club expects to have hand
in the elections that are to come off in
the future, and do their utmost to help
elect to the different offices the men who
are best qualified to fill them.
The meeting to be held tomorrow eve
ming promises to be large and repre-
sentative one, and the public is cordial
ly invited to be present.

AZTEC RELICS FOUND.
Interesting Discovery Made on Texas
Ranch.

San Antonio, Tex, February 2.-(Spe-
cial)-Evidence of Aztec occupation
of this part of Texas were unearthed
yesterday on the ranch of Henry
Schneidenschnur, 16 miles north of San
Antonio. A rounded mound rising in
the midst of level valley was opened
and skeletons and other relics of un-
doubted antiquity were brought to
light. Excavation has been slow owing
to the fact that the mound is found
to be overlaid with rock at depth
of three feet. Much interest is mani
tested in the discovery. and an anthro-
pologist from the University of Texas
at Austin will be asked to examine
the mound. Indications point to pos
sible important scientific addition TO
current knowledge of prehistoric
Texas.

against his own son was the unusual
spectacle presented in Judge Chap
mans court yesterday, when H. A. Will

son, Lester. turned battery of bricks
on his brother, and when he tried to

such an aggravated one that the faith Ter

family conference has been arranged by
the Judge Monday and the case may be
withdrawn.
