gorgeous effect.
Behind the church a pavilion will
shelter the service of a Chinese lun-
cheon, and in the Y, NJ. C. A. class
room a typical Chinese dinner will be
served. Various booths for different
traflics in useful and fancy articles
are situated outside, but they will be

Ieremptory challenges by the defense
and twenty by the people, Thaw an

Nicer Than the First.
"They are much nicer than the men

five-minute's talk after the last juror

is still too i'll to come to New York.
The new jurors selected yesterday
were Messrs. McHugh, Howell Burck
Dovale and Hooper. The last two

JAPS GETTING UNEASY.
Receive Word that Americans Over
whelminely Favor Exclusion.

Toxic, Jan. 13.-Incoming cable
grams, indicating an overwhelming
sentiment in America in favor of an
exclusion bill, are causing much UNI
easiness among leaders of all shades
of politics, 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 government
as evidence OF its sincere desire not
to embarrass the American govern
ment and at the same time save the
amour propre of the Japanese.
Uneasiness has been intensified by
the delay of reply from Washington
to the Japanese note of Dec. 81.

Army of Occupation Worked
Hard for Old Ruler.

Paris, Jan. 12.-That Mulai Hafid
has been proclaimed sultan of Moroc-
co at Fee is confirmed by government
dispatches received Saturday.
His priests accompanied his assump-
ton of royalty by declaring holy
war against the French.
Mulai, who was I, ought to have
been pretty thoroughly surprised, Is
bitterly against all foreigners, and, OF
course, a foe to Abdul Aziz, the real
sultan and Frances friend.
The declaration of the holy war is
certain also to draw to his banner
again all the desert tribes which it
was hoped the recent campaign had
scattered.
The most serious feature of the sit
uation is that Germany is considered
certain to interfere, reopeniug all the
troubles which preceded the Algerian
conference, unless the French succeed
speedily in restoring order in Morocco.

JOY FOR RENT STRIKERS.
Evctions Were Not So Numerous as
Was Expected.

New York, Jan. 9.-The gloom of the
rent strikers was turned to JOY yes
terday, when the large number of
eyictions threatened by the landlords
when they had warrants issued,
seemed to dwindle materially. 1t was
difficult to get marshals to handle
those that Were issued. They said
they were busy with other things.
Many landlords, too, settled with
their tenants rather than pay the cost
of their eviction, and many tenants,
frightened by the action of the court,
agreed to accept smaller reductions
than those frs. demanded Many
cases were compromised in this way.
In other cases tenants paid up the
full amount demanded, but there were
few of these cases and in most in
stances il was the landlords who
yielded.
