Madrid, Oct 4.-The extension of
field operations to which the govern
ment is now committed by the dispatch
of reinforcements to General Marina,
the Spanish commander, is further
complicated by the possibility of a reg
ular declaration of war between Mo-
rocco and Spain. While the cortez is
closed it becomes the duty of the coun-
ell of state to authorize unforeseen eX-
penditures, and rumors are afloat today
of dissensions in the council. 1t is un-
derstood the military party, the in
fiuence of which is growing, now in
sists that the military party efforts and
sacrifices in Africa must be COM
pensated by the permanent occupation
of the Moroccan coast between Cape
Teres Forcas and Tetuan. King AL
fonse is disposed to sympathize with
the claims OF the militatists, but an
unexpected obstacle has arisen in the
council, where four liberals, who have
been opposing the campaign in Mo-
rocco as a military adventure, have
been joined by another liberal, creating

Washington, Oct. 4.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook. the arctic explorer announced
last night shortly after his arriva!
from New York to deliver his lecture,
that he will acquiesce in the PROPOSE
ton that the University of Copenhagen
be asked to waive its claim to prior
examination of his records in order
that American geographic societies and
other scientific bodies in this country
may be enabled to review his data. He
decisions Of all these tribunals an
Eounced simultaneously.
DIR. Cook reached Washington at
$40 o'clock last evening and was driv-
en- at once to the New Willard Hotel,
where he had dinner and talked with
the newspaper men before going to a
l,cal theater to deliver his lecture.
DR.. Cook answered frankly every
question asked by the newspaper men,
altho the explorer added little to what
he already had said and published
since he returned to civilization. When
asked fyhe would in the future fit up
an expedition to go to the south pole,
I)T. COOK Salu ne was not prepared to
answer on that point. but he added that
the discovery of the south pole would
he much easier than the north pole,
and would be attended by far less dam
gerous risks, He pointed out that a
probable route to the south pole would
be along stretches of land on which
stations might be established and that
this would mean quicker discovery.
DIR. Cook laughingly declared in an
swer to question, that he did not at
: time feel any earnest desire to re-
Ian to the north pole.
An enthusiastic crowd Of several
thousand people greeted DR.. Cook upon
his arrival at the union station, and the
ihrongs in their eagerness to see or get
near him, were kept back with difficult
ty by several score Of police and de-
tectives. Several times while passing
thru the station shed the explorer was
showed about rather roughly as he was
wedged thru the crowds, and he ex-
pressed feeling Of relief when finally

PRESIDENT breaches SERMON.
Lays Cornerstone and Tells of Duty
to the Public.

Portland, Ore, Oct. 4.-President
Taft Sunday preached another sermon
The scene had changed from the Nor
mon tabernacle at Salt Lake City, on
Sunday last to the cornerstone laying
Of the First Universalist church in East
Portland.
The president handled the silver
trowel and worked hard to see that the
stone was properly adjusted. His ap-
parent earnestness in setting the stone
called out great applause from the
open air audience. The president re-
ferred to his various church expert
ences, and in concluding said:
NO church in this country, however
humble it may be, that breaches the
doctrine of true religion and morality
will lack my earnest support to make it
more influential whenever opportunity
offers"
The presidents train left at $3.50 D.
m. over the Southern Pacific railroad
for Sacramento.
Mr.. Taft had truly religious day,
which began when he attended the
morning service at the First Unitarian
church in Portland and listened to a
sermon by the Rev. w. G. Elliott, Jr
Following the service the president was
the guest of honor at luncheon ten
dered by Senator Bourne, and which
included the various state and city of
ficials.
In the early afternoon the president
visited st. Mary's Roman Catholic
school and made five-minute address
to the school children, in which he de-
clared that loyalty to the church meant
fidelity to country. The line Of march
followed by the presidential party to
East Portland was almost as crowded
as were the streets on Saturday, and
there was handclapping all along the
way with some cheering by the more
enthusiastic in the Sunday throng. Az
ter the president had been introduced
at the cornerstone laying by the Rev.
James Corby, pastor of the church, he
said:
II don't know that any one questions
the propriety of my being here and Of
ficiating on such Az occasion as this, or
that an explanation Of any sort is call
ed for. But I want to say that / believe
it to be the duty of the president of
these United States to welcome and to
suggest every instrument by which the
morals and religion of the community
may be elevated and maintained Not

laying of an orthodox Congregational
church in Washington. Then I appeared
in the pulpit of a Jewish tabernacle at
Pittsburg. But few days ago helped
to lay the cornerstone of a Catholic in
stitution at Helena, Mont!
"And now it is my great pleasure to
assist here today in laying the corner
stone of this Universalist church,
which like my own church, the Unitar-
ian, is known as liberal church.
Il am glad always to be present at
such occasions as these"
