PARIS, Aug. 2L Tha Moroccan altuatlon
ta regarded hare as having aaaumed a dla
tlnctty mora aerloua aspect. The ferment
In the Interior of Morocco, the proclama
tion of Mulal Hang, the sultan'a brothsr,
aa aultan by a aection of the rebels, and
the appearanoe of a new Moorish army
before Casablanca, have created the fear
that the whole country will soon be ablaze
with fanaticism. General Drude, com
tnander of the French forcea at Casa
blanca, has now practically asked for re
Inforoement, pointing out that hts men are
worn out with being constantly under
arms, but especially Insisting that he Is
losing the advantage gained by his suc
cesses because the small force at hla dis
posal prevents him from following up his
victory.
The government appreclatea the justice
of the arguments, and although orders to
forward additional troops to Morocco had
not been Issued up to noon today, the gov
ernment Is expected to decide on this step
before night. Over 1,000 colonial infantry,
cavalry and troops of other arms have
been mobilized at Orsn and are ready to
embark on board transports, and other
transports and warships are In readiness
at Mediterranean ports to sail immediately
for Morocco.
No Half-Way Measarea.
Fubtlo aentlment in France Is becoming
stronger against the present half-way
measures, which, It la feared, will only
lead to disaster. The papers ' insist that
the world must support France If It Is de
cided to send a military expedition to Fei,
for In no other way, the newspapers claim,
can tha existing state of anarchy In
Morocco be ended. The government, how
ever, is resisting this pressure, desiring to
.-keep within the bounds of the Algeclrns
convention, and the reports that negotia
tions are on foot to secure an enlargement
of tha mandate of the powera are emphat
ically denied. Nevertheless, even In official
circles t Is admitted that something might
happen which would place an entirely new
--eemplextw-?n the situation - and ewmpel
' France, In the name of, the powers, to
" chastise Morocco.
Special . dispatches received here today
from Tangier say that Muall Haftg, tha
brother of the aultan of Morocco, wh-j
recently, waa proclaimed sultan, ta march
ing on Casablanca with Moorish reinforce
ments to the number of 18.000 men, re
cruited from the south of Morocco. The
French press expects that Premier Clemen
ceau'a interview with King Edward at
Marlenbad will be extremely usefut to
France in the event of complications In
aforocco. as Jt will enable the prem'er to
"now in advance the personal views of
Emperor William and Emperor Francis
Joseph on the Moroccan situation.
The Patrle claims to be In a position tt
state that King Edward advised M.
Clemenceau that France should pursue a
more energetic course In Morocco.
The sultan'a troopa are reported to have
again defeated a great force of the Knass
tribesmen, in whose territory Caid 8lr
Harry MacLean has been held captive,
hi hundred Moors were killed and several
, f t are Tillages were burned.
Revolution Openly Proclaimed.
TANGIER. Aug. O. A sensational In
cident occurred during the celebration of
noonday praytya at the grand moaqus of

branch of the Sixth division, were In con

to arrange for a readjustment of the rail
way mall service on their respective
branches, but incidentally to assist In the
Investigation of the robbery. These offi

the masters proceed with tha hearing and
determine .her competency to manage her
business affairs.
If we are allowed to proceed," Bald
Mr. Streeter, "we should show how that
on February a. 1907, Mrs. Eddy beran ta
arrange or the management of her prop

"She planned Its disposal for tha reat of
her life and to provide for her kindred dur
ing that time."

Mr. Streeter reviewed the institution and
progress of the accounting ault, which he
characterised aa primarily an aasault by a
great newspaper upon a great religion

promote after her death by the use of a
: large part of her fortune,
Ha continued:
Not one word of testimony haa been In
troduced to show that one aonar oi ner
money haa ever been misappropriated. Tha
charge ot her Incompetency haa completely
collapsed. It Is now stated In the press
that the next friends will abandon this suit
for the purpose of awaiting Mrs. Eddy'a
death and then contesting her will. Mra.
Eddv has a legal right to a finding to her
competency upon the case aa It now atanda

a finding to that effect. Judge Aldrich sbid
tha Issue submitted to them was purely a
