S., Sept. 20.—The North German Lloyd steamer Bremen, bound from New York for Bremen, arrived in Halifax harbor during the day with & broken propeller shaft in tow of the British tank steamer Lucigen.

TION AS SUSCEPTIBLE OF ADJUSTMENT. | Paris, Sert. 20.—Another crisis has arisen in the negouaticns rance and Germany relative to the Moroccan conference. This has re- sulted in a suspension of the meet- ings between Dr. Rosen and M. Re- voil, respectively the special plenipo- tentiaries of Germany and France. Their last meeting occurred three days ago and there is no present sign of the resumption of their conference. Dr. Rosen in the meantime is seeking instructions from Berlin, but the ex- tended delay begins to excite appre- hension in official quarters that Ger- many will not yield on points which ¥rance considers essential. Both sides show anxiety and the strain promises to seriously affect the bourse. The foreign office, however, contin- ues to view the situation as being susceptible of adjustment and spe- i ily denies the alarmist report in rench newspaper that the German demands include the port of Mogador, on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The following official statement was made to the Associated Press on the sub- ject: “The question of the cession of the port of Mogador does not enter into the negotiations in any form for the obvious reason that Germany and France in their exchange of notes have specifically agreed to maintain the integrity of Moroccan territory. Therefore it is impossible to negotiate on the cession of Mogador or amy other part of Moroccan territory.” { ! INDICTED FOR BIGAMY. Brooklyn Man Alleged to Have Mar- ried Four Women.

PROPERTY BELOKGS TO THE STATE TRUST ACCUSED CF ENCROACH. ING ON LAKE MICHIGAN AND CALUMET RIVER. | Chicago, Sept. 20.—Action to r | claim $4,000,000 worth of land which | city officials assert has been appropri- ated by the Illinois Steel company at the mouth of the Calumet river was started by Commissioner of Public Works Patterson during the day. State’s Attorney Healy and Corpora- tion Council Lewis were asked by { Commissioner Patterson to proceed in the courts to recover 200 acres of submerged land, which, it is alleged, the steel corporation has added to its property in the past four years by encroaching on Lake Michigan and the Calumet river. The claim is made | that the title to the lands legally rests in the name of the people of the state of Illinois. ‘With the development of the plans | for legal action on the part of the state and the city came the suspension of Richard O’Sullivan Burke, who for the past five years has been the city’s harbor engineer. Commissioner Pat- terson charges Burke with “neglect of duty and inefficiency.” Burke is ac- cused of having failed to inform the city officials regarding encroachments of the steel corporation and of having been unfamiliar with the situation, al- though it was clearly within his du- | ties. TO TRANSPORT ONLY IDLE MAN. Women of Irondale, i, Fear Effect of Bad Example. Chicago, Sept. 20.—The women of Irondale, a suburb of South Chicago, are showing a remarkable interest in the economic welfare of their com- munity by raising sufficient money to transport the only idle man in Iron- dale from that place.

Hartford is thirty years old, unmarried and in easy circumstances, but the women of the suburb fear that his idleness may set a bad example for their husbands and fathers. CHOLERA EPIDEMIC CHECKED. Official Announcement by the German Government. ‘Washington, Sept. 20—The German government has declared that the cholera epidemic has been checked. Ambassador Tower has cabled the state department from Berlin as fol- lows: “It is announced officially by the German government that the cholera has been checked and that an epi- demic is entirely unlikely.” This statement will be communi- cated by the department of state to ihe public heaith and Marine hospital service through the treasury depart- ment in order that it may modify if it sees fit the restrictions which it has been obliged to impose upon emigra- tion through German ports. Berlin, Sept. 20.—The day’s official bulletin says that 7 fresh cases of cholera and no deaths have been re- ported for the past 24 hours, the totals being 208 cases and 75 deaths. ACTION BROUGHT AT CHICAGO: 'CANAL PLANS EXPLAINED i | BOARD OF CONSULTING ENGI- NEERS LISTENS .-TO OPIN- IONS OF EXPERTS. Washington, Sept. 20.—The board of consulting engineers of the isth- mijan canal commission during the day devoted its time to hearing an ex- planation of the plans for a canal which Mr. Bunau-Varilla and Linden W. Bates, respecticely, have formu- ilated. Mr. Bunau-Varilla was engaged on the canal work as an engineer un- {much time to the study of the prob- em. Mr. Bates is a civil engineer of New York. Mr. Bunau-Varilla told the board that under his proposed method a canal could be built and put into op- eration within five years. It could be deepened to a sea level canal within five years more. The novel feature of { his plam is to construct the locks from a foundation below sea level. | With the locks built down to the sea level depth the work of dredging the canal could be continued without in- terrupting its operation for commerce. The same locks could be utilized at every depth until a sea level was reached when the locks could be taken out. 'The plan of Mr. Bates combines many suggestions which have been made for the inception of the idea of a canal across the isthmus. Mr. Bates proposes locating the principal dams on either side of the isthmus close to the sea, thus conserving the waters from the streams into two mammoth lakes. He pointed out that this would eradicate the swamps and tend to revolutionize the health and sanitary conditions on the isthmus. His plan does not obviate the digging of Cu- lebra cut. The board was presented with information as to every detail of the Bates plan in a pamphlet of near- ly 200 pages of closely printed matter, accompanied with maps and diagrams.
