a board to work in conjunction with
the officials of the state Of Maryland
in keeping free from sewage pollution

AN important subject for present con-
gideration is that OF maintaining the
two comparatively small streams now

the Eastern Branch, free from sewage

of the considerable and increasing pop
uiation in the upper area OF these two

These are two areas lying within
the state of Maryland. but which are
adjacent to and drain directly into the
District of Columbia.
The Only Solution.
THE only practical solution Of the
problem IS believed to be the formation
Of a metropolitan district under the
control Of "a State or National board,

Land of CorteZ Thrown IEto Chaos
By Newest Political Upheaval.
Throne In Danger

MADRID, Oct. 2f.-After a de-
termined struggle against opposition,
not only in Spain, but in all Of
Europe. aroused by Spanish condi-
tions and the execution of FeTer,
the cabinet, headed by Premier
Maura, resigned today on the ex-
press demand of King Alfonso.
The Moroccan war, the anti-cler-
ical situation, and the worldwide
protest following the execution of
Francisco FeneT, were the primary
causes OF the fall of the cabinet.
The resignation Of the cabinet
throws Spain into a condition Dor
dering on chaos. Today King Al
fonso and his advisers are in close
conference trying TO select a man,
who, at the head of the new gov
ernment, will be able to gather the
scattered remnants of Spanish au-
thority together and save Spain. A
competent statesman, willing to ac-
cept the difficulties of the situation,
would be hard to ind.
FACING < CRISIS.
King Alfonso faces the crisis
of his life. for upon his choice
of a president OF the council
tie Spanish prime minister-de-
pends the fate of his throne. A
member of the conservative party,
loyal 20 the interests of the crown
and accepting the royal pro-church
views in the anti-Catholic contro-
versy would be the natural choice.
The continuation Of the Moroccan
war also undoubtedly would be
forced by a conservative.
But no conservative could Sc
cure the support of the liberal
cortes. the socialist element in
which has been opposing the Maura
administration amid scenes of the
wiides. disorder since the cortes
met a week ago.
Alfonso is most unwilling to
trust the nation and, incidentally,
his throne, TO a Liberal minister.
He is still more unwilling to take
any chance in the consummation
of the Moroccan war.
With this situation confronting
him, it is considered extremely
likely that, when the present ex-
citement dies down, Alfonso may
be forced to reinstate Maura, aad
let him pursue his policy to he
end.
Meantime, the fate of Spain
hangs in the balance.
Maura's Rule.
Premier Maura, at the head OF his
cabinet. CANT into power
in the beginning Of 1907. after five liberal
had fallen In eighteen months.
The conservatives are really The clerical
party, in favor OF the present union Of
church and state.
The return to power OF Maura was
regarded as a sweepicg victory for the
cIericaIs, but the Moroccan war and
the consequent uprisings in Spain have
been the issue around which the dis
senting factions have rallied and form
ed a strong opposition.
Maura's retirement was forecast
yesterday. when it became known that,
in an interview with the premier, King
Alfonso had reproaehed the minister for
his attitude In the Ferrer case, and &C
cused him of Fastening the revolution
lists execution, so that Alfonso might
not interpose a royal pardon.
