SOLDIERS MAY KEEP ORDER Prwnr of Forelga Troop Likely fa Incite Hostile Native Until Hitrniloa of Scope Mar Ra JiM-fwarT. PARIS. Sept. A most Important change, the Associated Press Is Informed, has oc curred In the political aspect of the Moroc can question, a change which may have a far-reaching effect on the future of Morocco and the relations of the powers thereto. France and Spain have the Intention to oc cupy the littoral parts of Morocco with I their own forces and establish police or ganisations. This contemplated action re sults from the official announcement of the Moroccan government, through the war minister. El Gabbas. that It la unable to guarantee the safety of the European In-, atructors of the International police force, which, under the terms of the Algeclras convention, was to be composed of Moors. The dilemma of Prance and Spain, who, by the terms of the Algeclras convention, are compelled to organise the International po lice, was suhmittcd to the signatory pow ers, Including the United States, and they all agreed that the situation demanded that France and Bpaln police Morocco them selves. Although It Is distinctly stipulated that such occupation la merely provisional, or until It Is safe to recruit the police force from among the Moors, there is a strong feeling thnt the absolute anarchy relgntng In Morocco means that this occupation of the ports may be long drawn out, perhaps lasting Indefinitely. Moreover, the occu pation of the ports may cause serious com plications, resulting from the continued hostility of the fanatical Moors, a hostility which may compel an enlargement of the police action and culminate In a virtual military control of the Moroccan empire. This, however, will depend on the attitude of the Moors. France has planned to occupy Maaagan, Mogador, 8af I and Rabat, and Spain la to occupy El Aralsh and Teluan. France and Bpaln together will occupy Casablanca and Tangier.' Arrangements for the policing of these porta are now being made. Moora An Powerless. TANGIER, Sept. C Responding to a re quest of the diplomatic corps that he taka steps to arrest the needless exodus of .'people from Tangier, caused by the preva lence of - local disorders and the circula tion of fals-s and alarming reports, the Moroccan war minister, El Oabbas, today proposed the Institution of a summary tri bunal, before which malefactors and per sons guilty of circulating damaging and exciting rumors, could be brought. A note setting forth the purposes and powers of the proposed tribunal was sent to tha lega tions and all the representatives of the powers with the exception of the Bpanlsh minister, signed It. Fearing that the terms of the note might conflict with the word ing of the Algeclras convention, the min ister of Bpaln requested to be allowed to submit tba document to the authorltlec at Madrid before giving his adhesion to It. Tha Spanish minister agreed later to the project to establish a summary trlbunul. Advices from Fei under date of Septem ber 3, say It was then believed that Sultan Abdel Asia Intended to leava for Rabat, probably September 7. Tha latest news from Rabat said the people there were awaiting the arrival of the sultan before proclaiming their alleg iance. ('rials May Come to Spain. MADRID, Sept. O.-Tho Globe today re iterates that discord exists between King Alfonso and Premier Maura regarding Spain's Moroccan policy. The paper adds: "S'-nor Maura Intends to ask the king whether lie has confidence In the ministry, which involves the possibility of a min isterial trials, which would put the liberals In power. If the sentiment In favor of Intervention In Morocco waa stronger In Spain, tlio government would dispatch 4.000 men and a number of warships to Morocco."

ARCTIC EXPLORERS ARE LOST rhree Member of Expedition Leave Vessel aad Are Nat Heard af Agra In. ATHABASCA LANDING. Canada, Bept. 6. New of the' probable Ins of the schooner Duchess of Bedford, the ship be longing to the Anglo-American arctic ex pedition, which hoped to find a new con tinent north of the Mackensle river, was brought here by Alfred Harrison, who has been In the arctic circle for two years and who came here on the steamer Midnight Sun. Mr. Harrison snld Ernest Stefandson of Harvard unlverrlty, after whom the ex pedition has been called, himself brought the news of the loss of their boat to Her schell Island. II also brought the news of the disappearance of three members of the party and expressed the fear that they had mt death In the frozen north. The missing men are Captain Mlk'telson, a Dane; Ernest Lefflngwell of Chicago, and J. M. Marks. They left tha ship In j reoruary wun sixty days' provisions for the supposed land to the north, and had been gone seventy days and no new had been received from them. One of their teams of dogs had returned and It la likely the party will never be heard from again. The schooner Duchess of Bedford, Stefansson thought, had probably sunk. The ship had filled with water, probably from the Ice strain, but they had been able to remove everything of value to the main ' shore. ROSTON, Sept. 6.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-Frank A. Perret ns assistant at the Vesuvian observatory, whose action In remaining at his post. dur ing last year's eruption of the volcano gained his general commendation and who Is now at his home here on a brief vaca tion, spoke Interestingly In a review re garding the tabled reports of a new erup tion of Mount Vesuvius. He declared that there could be no eruption at this time, but that there had been landslides In the crater and the clouds of dust arising therefrom perfectly resembled a new eruption. Said he: "The Interior walls of the crater are very steep, and ss the cone is a conglomerate mass of loose materials, a portion of the rim may be come undermined and detached by a slight earth tremor and fall Into the abyss. This mass which may weigh hundreds of tons, compresses the air below It and on reach ing the bottom of the crater Is at once ejected as an immense cloud of dust and ashes, which perfectly resembles an erup tion and present a sufficiently terrifying apiearance to the uninitiated. Others often follow the flrRt and the dust Is carried by the wind to a great distance, producing In that particular direction a light fall of ashes. But the cabled reports describing an outbreak of considerable violence, with lava streams, all of which Is practically Im possible at this time, must he untrue." In telling why this was Impossible Mr. Perret said that Vesuvius had a fairly well defined cycle of operation. After an erup tion like that of last year there followed a period of absolute rest, the duration of which Is variable, but would not ho less than the present lapse of time, and might last for several years. When the awaken ing came, he said, It was gradual. The bot tom of the crater caved In and small explosions began to build up little cones on the crater floor as the lava, which has forced and melted Its way up the central conduits, entered the crater cavity. Then came a long period of moderate activity, with occasional outbreaks of greater violence until at the last the great' eruption cleared the vent. This Mr. Perret said might take another thirty years or more. "This cycle of events Is not Inevitable," Mr. Perret continued, "but It is extremely probable. So far as Versuvlus Is concerned let me repeat there Is no danger of a seri ous outbreak for some time to come. Aetna should be the next." PHILLIPS DEATH IS MYSTERY Many Theories Entertained as to Manner In Which Coal Operator's Life F.nded. CLEVET.AND.

Just after her hus band was shot. Phillips' private secretary says this man called at Phillips' office Tuesday morning. The object of hi call was not disclosed by Dunn, except to the officials, but he was to have returned Wednesday morning, Dunn says, but so far has not been seen.
