MOROCCO TO PAY WAR DAMAGE. France Wants International Commis- sion to Fix Indemnity. Paris, Sept. 11—A special meeting of the cabinet was held yesterday for the purpose of considering the Moroc- can situation. The following conclu- sions were reached: The Moroccan government should be held tesponsible for the massacre of July 30 at Casablanca, as well as for the damage suffered as a result of the pillage or the repression of disor- ders. The indemnities should be fixed by an international commission. Incidentally this is France’s answer to the demands of the German export- ers at Casablanca that France com- pensate them for the losses they sus- tained during the bombardment. The conclusions arrived at are based on the precedent established after the bombardment of Alexandria by the British fleet in 1882. The cab- inet requests Foreign Minister Pichon to examine the general question of Morocco and to prepare a note on the subject to be issued as soon as possi- ble.

San Francisco, Sept. 11. — A left swing to the body cleverly blocked by Joe Gans, cost Jimmy Britt any chance he might have had to win the lightweight championship of the wodld yesterday and brought to a close five rounds of fast fighting, witnessed by a crowd of about 14,000 people at Rec- reation Park. The blow caught by Gans on his elbow was struck in the fourth round. It broke Britt's wrist, and though he went on again in the fifth round he was helpless in both offense and defense. It was not until this round that he informed his sec- onds of the mishap. Britt Is Helpless. “What’s the use of my going on? I can’t fight. I am helpless,” he said to Tie Kreling. Captain of Police Gleason was noti- fied at the ringside and stopped the fight. Referee Welch gave the deci- sion to Gans. Three doctors, after an examination, stated that the injury was a fracture and dislocation of the lower end of the ulna, the innermost bone of the wrist. Whether it was a genuine fracture or not Britt showed such intense suffering while the doc- tors were manipulating his, wrist that the tears rolled unchecked down his cheek. Was Slugging Match. . : “I was utterly helpless,” he said. “I couldn’t even hold up my left hand after I broke it. I had to guard for Gans’ left and had no punch except with my right.” The fight while it lasted was a slug- ging match, bat it was perfectly evi- dent to every trained observer that Britt had no chance to win from the negro. For the first time in his life he was outmatched. The decision of the doctors effectively disposes of any claim of “fake.” FEAR BLOODSHED AT VANCOUVER Orientals Arm for Defense Against Anti-Asiatic Rioters. Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 11.—There is renewed apprehension of further anti-Asiatic rioting here, and all morning Japanese and Chinese crowd- ed the local gun shops to buy firearms and ammunition. They declare they will defend their lives and property. In case the Oriental quarter is again at- tacked it is feared that there will be bloodshed, for the Japanese and Chi- nese are thoroughly aroused and are convinced that the police are power- less to protect them. Shortly before noon the police notified the gun stores to cease selling firearms. Form Defensive Guard. All Chinese and Japanese in service, of whom hundreds are employed in Vancouver, have stopped: work and have been forced by the threats of their countrymen to act as part of the defensive guard. Two hundred spe- cial policemen were sworn in Monday and there is talk of calling out the militia. Feeling all over the city runs high and another attack is likely to occur at any time. So far there have been no fatalities, although sev- eral of those injured in Saturday night’s riots are in a serious condi- tion. Costly Goods Damaged. The Oriental quarter shows the ef- fect of the riots of Saturday night. Not a window in the fifty or more stores and other places of business conducted by Japanese and Chinese remains, and costly stocks of goods are badly damaged. The Japanese consul here and Baron Ishii, director of commerce and trade of the Jaja- nese foreign office, who is in the city, have communicated the fagts to the Japanese government in Tdkio. Baron Ishii also is reported to heave cabled a report of the riot to Ambassa- dor Kaneko in London, with a request that he take the matter up with the British government. Telegrams have also been sent to Japanese Consul General Mosse at Montreal, who will lay the matter be fore Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the premier. Pay Damages and Apologize. Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 11—The general opinion in official circles is that Can- ada will have to pay damages and apologize to Japan for damages caus- ed by the Vancouver riots to property of the Japanese in that city. Regret is expressed that the outbreak should have taken place at the time when the Japanese immigration question was all but solved between the govern- ments of Canada and Japan. » CALL MUST BE UNANIMOUS. Conditions Under Which President Might Stand for Another Term. New York, Sept. 11. — A dispatch from Honolulu to the American quotes Congressman Longworth, who has just sailed from that port for San Francisco, as saying: “President Roosevelt will not become a candi- date for renomination unless the en- tire country demands it. He has firm- ly made up his mind to stick to this course, and only a more widespread demand for him to accept the nomi- nation will alter his determination.” Venezuela Won’t Quit Hague. The Hague, Sept. 11. — The with- drawal of Dr. Jose Gilfortoul, the Venezuelan representative, from the Hague peace conference Sept. 4 was due to a misunderstanding.

C., Sept. 12.—Every- ; thing was quiet in and about the Ori- ental quarter and there has been no further atttempt to renew the anti- Asiatic rioting. None of the Japa- nese has as yet returned to their work in the lumber mills, which are closed down, but which expect to resume to- day. The strike of the Chinese cooks bids fair to last longer, and restau- rants are closing. Hotels, clubs and private families are making shift with- out cooks and Vancouver people are reeeiving an object lesson in their de- pendence on Chinese domestics. Jap Demands Militia. The only development yesterday morning in the local anti-Asiatic situ- ation was the action of E. Norikawa, Japanese consul. In great excitement Norikawa went to Mayor Bethune and demanded that he have the militia called out to protect his countrymen. Norikawa stated that an attempt was being made to burn every Japanese house in Vancouver and that cotton waste saturated with oil had been found under the door of the Japanese Methodist mission church. Aske Colonel to Be Ready. Mayor Bethune tried to reassure the consul, telling him that the au- thorities had the situation well in hand. Finally, to please the consul, the mayor agreed to telegraph Col. Holmes, commanding the militia of this district, asking him that the mili- tia be ordered to hold themselves in readiness. Turned Down by Hindus. A combined Chinese and Japanese organization of Vancouver yesterday afternoon made overtures to the Hin- dus to join them in an _ industrial strike all along the British Columbian coast. The Hindus refused. Late last night the police made a seizure of fifty Winchester rifies, together with thou- sands of rounds of ammunition, which had been purchased in New Westmin- ster by Chinese. OBJECTS TO BIG FINE, Standard Oil Asks for Writ of Super- cedeas. Chicago, Sept. 12. — The Standard Oil Company of Indiana yestetday ap- plied to the United States circuit court for a writ of supercedeas pre- venting the United States government from proceeding to collect the fine of $29,240,0000 recently entered against it on the order of Judge Landis. Judge Grosscup, before whom the application was made, declined to take action until he had heard arguments from the attorneys on both sides. The arguments consumed the greater part of the day. The attorneys for the government insisted that the supercedeas bond, if the writ was granted, should be as large as the fine assessed against the company. The attorneys for the de- fendant argued in favor of a bond of $1,000,000. Judge Grosscup, while not specifying the amount of ihe bond, declared that he thought it should be equal at least to the total value of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. NEILL DROPS STRIKE.
