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."

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.

NO DANGER OF AN ERUPTION
i
Scientist Who Has studied Vesuvlos
Tell Why This I lui
possible. 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. Sept. .-New theories,
suspicions and developments In the mysterv
surrounding the death of John J. Phillips,
conl operator and broker, follow each other
In rapid succession. Today the officers are
searching for a former employe, who Is
suspected of having caused the death of
Phillips. Monday Phillips was shot and
killed at his home In the arlstrocratlc part
of East Cleveland. That day he was be
lieved to have been killed by a burglar.
Tuesday It waa thought Phillips committed
suicide. Wednesday this theory waa dis
proved 'and suspicion was dlrocted against
the widow. A warrant was Issued for her
arrest. Thursday the officers began to doubt
this theory, and today are searching for the
man formerly employed about the Phillips
home, whom Mrs. Phillips says she saw
In front of her home. 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.
It waa stated by Chief Stambergcr today
that Mrs. Phillips will be placed under
arrest during this afternoon, but there
would be no surprise here If the warrant
should be withdrawn.
