iater came _the rule and for more Two _centuries of the Moslems, than 100 years & reputed descend- ant of the prophet has always heid the scepter of Morocco, The present popu- Iation is made up of 8,000,000 Moors, 500,000 Arabs of puro descent, 2,000,000 Berbers. 1,500,000 Shelluhs, 500,000 Jews and 500,000 negroes, drafted from the Soudan by tho slave dealers. In all Morocco there is at the present time less than 5,000 Europeans, and the greater part of those are Spaniards living in the towns and cities of the coast, The dominant religion is Mohammedism of the most severe and rimd type. Of the several elements whnich compose the population of Morocco greatest intorest attaches to the Jews and the negro siaves. The victims of restrictions which in a cen- tury would exterminate an ordinary race. the Jews of Morocco have muliiplied and prospered. ‘The trade and commerce of the country are mainly in their hands Half of the roes in Morocro are slaves, and almost every city has its slave market, but the servivude is of n wild character and the slaves are well treated and generally content with their lot. They labor little and have no occasion to take care for the morrow. Only females are offered for sale il tho mnrkets. At the age of 14 or15 the sons of gond families possess theiv slaves. Their parents present them with ono f thelr amusement at an age when Christian people give their children a pony for exer- cise. The slaves are brought by caravan from Timbuctoo and from 3,000 to 4,000 are imported yearly. 1t is considered no disgrace 10 be a chiid of slave mother. The mother of the present sultan was a negress and the late grand sheeref of Wazzan was the son of a Houssa mulatto. Citles of the Kingdom, The chief cities of Morocco are Tangier, Tetuan, Morocco and Fez Tungier faces Gibraltar and is renched in a four hours sail from that city. The streets are narrow, crooked and airty, and filth everywhere abounds. Tangier {s the residence of those foreign ministers who are accredited to the court of the sultan. “Petuan, another seaport city, is _forty-five miles from Tangier and is a piace well worth & visit. It is peopled almost wholly by Moors of the pure blood, The streets of the ¢ity are broad and tolerably clean and the business center picturesque and attractive. Often one sces in the streets of Tetuan groups of the wild natives from the Riff mountains come to make tbeir annual pur- chuses. It was from these natives that the recent assailants of the Spanish garrison at Melilla were drawn. They are Berbers of the most fanatical type and would kill any white man whom they caught in their midst. Y The city of Morocco, the southern capital of the suitan’s empire, is a noble town fallen lnto sad decay. In its glory it must have been n city worthy of Haroun-al-Roaschid. It now has a population of 80.000, one-third of whom are Jews and the remainder Moors and Arabs. Iez the capital, lies 100 miles from the coast, in the midst of a wide, dusty plain, a great white city diversified und made beautiful by orghards, gardens and orange groves. ez js said to be the most immoral city in the world, though the stranger finds proofs of this chare hard to obtain. Kilth and foul odors sulute the vis- itor at every turn and yet amid all that is hateful and painful to the eyo are to be seen some of the most magnificent specimens of the work of mian in architecture and adorn- ment that can be imagined. Fez had once high title to renown in its schools, but this isallover now. A few *learned Moham- medan doctors” still keeo up a faint sem- blance of teaching, but their mstructions aro confined o the koran, and the few students they gather about them only serve to make moro manifest the utter collupse of the ancient greatuess of this Moslem university. Mutal Hassan Himself. Mulai-al-Hassnn, the present sultan of Mo- rocco, is now ubout 50 years of age. and is de- scribed by those who have come in contact with him as being every inch a king and a ruler of men. A younger son of the late sul- tan, he came to the throne through the power of the sword, and for twenty years and more has maintained his ascendancy by the same means. His rule is absolute wherever it ex- tends, and has often been marked by deedsof ruthless barbarity. His empire is divided into three kingdoms, Fez Talilet and Moroc- co, eack ruled by a viceroy appointed by the sultan. Kach kingdom is subdivided into departments ruled by bashaws, generally chosen from among the favorites of the sul- tan’s court, abd each aeparvment is again subdivided 1wto districts ruled by caids, selected from the local chieftains, and to whom are intrusted the collection and re- mission of the imperial taxes, Each func- tionary in this complex system of govern- ment is animated by one and the same aim— to sccure as much and yield as little as possible, and between sultan, bashaw and caid the last penny is ground from the help- less falleheen, who can look for comfort as well as happines only in the paradise of the true believer. The sultan is almost always on the march, spending at least half of every year under canvyas, either on the warpath or journeying from one of his capitals to the other. De- spite his palaces, his gardeus and hs 1,600 wives, his lot is a laborious and troubled one. The soldiery excepted, he is unpopular ‘with his subjects, who charge him (aud most unjustly, to0) with being friendly o the Christians, and last year he had to contend with no I than five rebellions in different of his composite em- Eflrfi Berbers, moors, Zair, ni-Hassan and many other tribes of nomads deny his authority, kill his tax gatherers and loot his caravans. Yearly he sees his power weakened and nis resources still more i red, while behind the chronic discontent lurks the constant Huropean aggression. When nine years Bgo serious illness for a time presaged the death of Mulai-nl-Hassan, pretenders to the throne sprang up in almost every province and tho total dismemberment of the empire seemed at hand. And this is what will aoubtless befall when malice domestic, for- eign levy or the dagger of the assassin has done its work. What Spaln is After. Spain has long occupied Couta, an impor- tant position on the Moorish coast, as well as Melilla, between Tangier and Oran, used a8 o conviel settlement. The construction of a new fort uv Melilla evoked the anger of the fanatical Riffiuns, who abit the adja- cent mountains, and a protracted and bloody engagement followed. The RifMians, mad- dened by their repulse, have since been preaching o holy war, while the Spanish government has reinforced Melilla with troops and guns and made demands upon Mulai-al-Hassan which can only be secured by torce. ‘This means i protracted war, und in the end the dismemberment of the sul- tan's empire. At the end of any war in which she wight prove victorious, Spain would surely demand extensive territorial concessions in the teighborhood of Melilly, and this would be the signal for the prompt interfevence of the other powers interested in Morocco, he policy of 1solation followed by the sultans, and made possible by in turn skillfully playing the interests of one power niuiust those of another, has left the Moors without o friend in Europe, and in the con- tingeney referred o, each power would be agtuated solely by the desire to secure the largest individual profit from the proposed division of spoils. Spain wants northern and central Moro England would insist on tae possession of Tangier, and would take whatever else she could get. France wants eastorn Murocco to add 1o her Algerian pos- sessions, and vender easier the building of the protected railway from Algeria Lo Sene- gal. Italy would be satistied with the pory o Tripoll. And these are ambitions which nay be realized within the next tweive ‘months. BIG FIGHT SOON. Down nnd News is Unobtaluable, Jouannessera, Oct.

SUPERINTENDENT BYRNES 13 TACKLED Asked for the Return of n Seventy-Five Thousand Dotlar Loan with Pennies for Interest—{razy Men Under Lok and Key, Nrw Yong, Oct. 81.—The Iatest crank walked into police headquarters at 12:45 o'clock today. *T want to seo the superintendent,” he said to Sergennt Mangen. “He is very busy; woa't 1do?" said the sorgeant, “No; I am after the superintendent. T want the mouey he owes me. Why don’t he pay it?" “Oh," snid the sergeant, catching on; ‘‘all right, come right in," and he led the man tnto the chief's presence. The superin- tondent took in the situation at a lance. “Pay the money you owe me. Why don’t you? I've waited long enough,” was the crank's greeting. “Let me see, how much is it now?" said Mr. Byrnes," looking his visitor over with a searching glance. “It's §75,000," he said. “1 told Mr. Bell togiveit to you. You are one man in @ thousand I picked out to keep the money for me, but now you've aad it long enough, Two years is a long time. There is £25,000 inter- eston it now. [ want it in pennies. “Pennies are pretty scarce, but maybe wo can manage it. Frank, you take this man into the detective office and gethim his $100,000. See that they give him the §25,000 in pennies and the rest in bills.” The sergeant and the crank walked over the bridge arm in arm. The crank is in an iron cell now waiting to be pad. He put his name down as Thomas Reilly, a painter by trade, 45 years old and his home as 18 Pell street. HE WAS MORE VIOLENT. Sergeant Fagin Was Afraid of His Assnllant and Awked Him to Oall Agnin. NEw Yourk, Oct. 8l.—Sergeant Fagin of the East Thirty-fifth street station was be- hind his desk at 11 o'clock this morning when a wild looking man entered and in a fierce voice demanded §5,000. Secing he had a crank of the vioient order to contend with the sergeant turned the matter aside by saying he did not have quite that much money with him. He promisea, however, that if the man would call again later in the day his demand would be satisfied. The crank left after threanening that un- less the money was forthcoming on his re- turn there would be trouble. At 12:30 o'clock the man again appeared and renewed his demand for $,000. There was noone in the police station save the sergeant, and in order to gain time he in- vited the man into the waiting room. The two were talking busiess when Patrolman John Rose entered. “Iowe this man $5,000,” Fagin said with a show of velief. *“Officer, take him down to the bank and see that he gets it.” Rose realized the situation in a moment and invited the man out. Th nk, over- joyed, followed. They boardea a Fourth avenue car and he conversed quite rationally with the officer on the way up town. As s00n as he came 1n sight of the York- ville police court, however, he realized that o trick had been played on him. He ro- fused 10 enter the building and a rough and tumble fight ensued, the policeman being victorious. Pending the arrival of Judgo Grady, the fellow was put in the prison pen. HAD CAUSE FOR ALARM, Senators and Clevelund ou Guard for Cranks of the Prendergast Type. WasnINGTox, Oct. 81.—Prendergast's in- coherent ravings against President Cleve- land and United States senators were a source of much comment amung senators. The additional factis now developed that the senators have been terrorized for the last six weeks, not only by Prendergast, but by an army of letter writers who have threatened to assassinate them individually and blow up the senate wing of the capitol. Letters of this kind wero reccived by Senator Hill of New York, Senator Mills of Texas and quite a number of others, They wero disposed at first to treat the letters lightly as the emanation of harmless:cranks, but a8 the missives became more threatening in chavacter steps were tuken to.prevent versonal assault on the senators and also to guard the senate chamber from the depredation of cranks. The pages wero warned to maintain secrecy, as there was no desire to create-a needless scare. It is the first time, 8o far as is known, that any such precaution has been taken in either brauch of the American congress. Tt appears ulso that there has been much uneasiness at the white house as a result of the threatening letters during the last six weeks, A short time ago two uniformed policemen were stationed on the marble porico leading to the front door, the first time in the recollection of the officials of the white house that blue coats and brass but- tons had been seen guarding the entrance to the executive munsion. As a further pre- caution an officer wus stationed at the tob of the first landing, where a_narrow passage- way leads to the private office of the presi- dent. Heretofore these halls and entrancy have been open to all comers and the uni- formed ushers have been the ouly cnes to take precautions against dangerovs 1n- truders. It is believed that Prendergasy wrote threalening letters to the white house, but the ofiicials declived to say any- thing on the subject when inquiries’ were made. The letters of Prendergast to the senators made such frequent reference to President Cleveland that it is presumed Proudergast wrote direct to the white house. ON HARLEM BRIDGE. Yelled Out for the Return of a Loan bat Fiually Surrendered, NEw Youk, Oct. 8L—A crank stood on Harlem bridge tonight, brandished a re- volver and yelled: “Captain Brooks owes mo #50,000 und I intend to have it. He bor- rowed it twelve years ago to speculate with.” There were a good many people on the bridgerand the trolley cars were filled with passengers. They heard, hurried out of the cars 10 huddle behind the buttresses of the bridge and call on the police. “Where is Captain Bropks?” yelled the crank. Captain Brooks is the chief executive oficer of the T'wenty-ninth precinet. Ofticer Boyle, whose post 15 on the bridge, gotbehind the maun and promised Lo take him te Captain Brooks if the crank would yh:ls up his revolver. The crank consented and was prowpily arvesied. He said he wi John O’'Dounell and was 23 years old. s . Prondergast’s lows Experience. Des Moises, Oct. 81.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee]—IL is now remembered that Prendergast, the crank who assassinated Mayor Harrison, was in Des Moines for sey- eral mouths two years ago.

New York, Oct. 31.—As the chances of a moeting in the ring between Corbett and Mitchell grow less, both men are becoming very brave. The Californian plainly inti- mates that he will hurt the Eoglishman the very first opportunity. Corbett’s friends say that he has been trying to got in a bar- room encounter for several days, bub up to date he has been only able to catch up with Jim Hall, and a story is afloat to the effect that the Australian was 1nsulted in an uptown resort yesterday. Hail did not resent the slight put upon him and Mitchell was nobpresent, so there was nothing but hard words and black looks. Corbett, according to his escorts and friends, who usually number three, wished to wipe out the insults he submitted to from Mitchell on the Bowery some time ago. Bostox, Oct. 81.—Charley Mitchell, Jack MgAuliffe and Jim Hall arrived in this city last night. Today W. A. Brady, represent- ing Corbett, put in an appearance. He at once went to_hunt up Mr. Blanchard, who holds $20,000 stake money _put up by tae pugs. Brady asked Blanchard if Mitchell had attempted to draw down his £10,000 and was assured to the contrary, Brady then found Mitchell in a saloon and asked him bluntly it he was going to pull dowan his stak Mitchell said he guessed not and called upon Hall and Me- Aulifie to bear him out, which they did prompuly. Then t all agreed to meet at Blanchard’s this afternoon. The mectiug was a busy one in the way of talk. Mitchell wanted to . fight under London prize ring rules, but Brady in- sisted that Corbett would not listen to it. Finally Mitchell said he wanted to see Cor- bett. Then he wanted to know if Corbett would fight at Monaco. Brady said he would, and Mitchell promised to wire Atkin- son for particular: Mitcheil had half a mind to @oto New York and punch Corbett's face, but Hall and the others prevailed upon him w stay in Boston and see the sights tonighf. All the prominent hotel bars were visited, and some uvnknown to fame were taken in. CLUB OR NOT. Situation In Omnahs as Regards Momber- ship in the Westorn Lengue. John S. Burnes of Minneapolis, and a mem- ber of the new Western Base Ball league committee appointed to select the three re- maining cities to make up the circuit, is in the city for the purpose of looking into the situation here, with the view of including Omaha in the circuit. At the reorganizing convention held in Chicago last week Indianapols, edo, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Kansas City were selected and granted franchises, This left three additional cities to be determined upon, and out of applications from Columbus, De- troit, Joliet, Sioux City and & Paul, besides several smaller cities in the old [llinois and Iowa league, the commitiee looked with favoring eyes upon Detroit, Cotumbus and Omaha. While there was no direct application from this city for admis- sion, those interested in attendance almost unanimously agreed that Omaha was the one city thut offered the most natural adva tages, and with this understanding Mr. Barnes was delegated to come here and look the ground over. So far he has been in consultation with several gentlemen, who have always been prominently identified with the sport here, and while each and every one professed a great desire to secure a franchise for Omaha, no material advancement’ has been made and no tangible ways and means devised by which the desired end may be consum- mated. Tt is a patent fact, however, that Omaha be again represented in u first-class sional league, if the proper interest is manifested by citizens able to encourage and assist such an enterprise. A stock company might possibly be organized, but the one great esseutial is “some man to take the initiauve. If this man can be produced there 13 but little doubt but that the project could be brought to a speedy and successful issue. If there are any base ball enthusiasts in Omuha who haye any suggestions to make the columns of Tue Bre are open to them. There 1s but little uncertainty about the welfare of the game the coming season, The present year hias been a great one for the big league, and that Omaha is eager 1o enjoy the old excite- ment once more is an equally well estab- tished fact, . The Gun Club Hant, The Omaha Gun club’s annual hunt came off according to schedule yesterday, result- ing in an overwhelming victory for Captain W. Hoagland’s side over General Frank Fogg. The ofticial inaividual count will bo made this morning and appear in Tue Bee this afternoon, J.J. Hardin made the pre- mier bag, footing up to nearly 2,000 points, almost four times the amount of any other shooter. ——— TAMMANY ENTHUSIASM, Ratification Meeting Under the Ausplees of the Tizer Kesults Seriously.

Cnicago, Oct. 81.~The remamns of Chi. cago's Garfield wero brougnt to the city hall today, there to lie in state, Dense crowds thronged the siaewalks for blocks around the Carter Harrison mansion on Ashland boulevard and witnessod the swart. In the main it was a fashionablo multitude, but it was such as the famous mayor best liked to move among and speak with, Solemn stillness was observed as eight stalwart fire department captains emerged bearing the coffin. Kight captains of police followed sharing with the fire captains the honors of pallbearers. Tha cortege o lengthy oneand the distance tothe city hall, two miles through the heart of the city, was not covered fora considerable time. Following the carriages containing city ofticials and mourners came a great throng resolved to accompany tho comparatively small cortege proper to its destination. Simplicity was the notable feature of the obsequies. The hearse was of plamn black and bore no waving plumes, nor did heavy trappings adorn the biack steeds which drew it. No strains of solemn music were heard us the procession passed slowly down Jackson boulevard to the great grey stone building, where once Carter Harrison was supreme. The sweet strains of Chopin's funeral march floated out upon the quiet air from the instruments of 200 musicians sta- tioned on the groat steps of the La Salle strect entrance to the city hall. Magio Effect on the Crowd. in an instan. the multitude which filled the streets as fa the eye could reach be- came even more (uiet if possible than during the minutes preceding. Hardly a sound was heard save the rumbling of wagons on some distant side street. As if by some inspira- tion coming to all the members of that vast concourse at the same ivstant men lifted their hats and stood with uncovered heads awaiting the arrival of the jpeople’'s dead. Men, women and children were packed into that vast multitude and all stood as though carved from stone, A moment later, when the casket was un- covered to the eyes of the people, sobs were heard on every hand, whilekerchiefs flashed were almost the only specks of color in the crowd of somber-clad. wmourners, A sumple wreath of laurel lay close to the gate through which hunareds of thousanas were 5000 to Jook at_the faceof the dead execu- tive. Just below sas a pillow of roses, bright red blossoms, sprinkled in among others of milky whiteness. No other floral offerings were there and one instinctively understood that these had come from one who stood in the “mayor's life closest and nearest to his heatt.! As soon as the easket and placed on !the catafalque in the center corridor,) ‘the Clark street on- trance was thrown open and a seemingly endless lineof silent, awed citizens began to file through the building, each to look for the last time on the dead mayor. Seldom has such a gorgeous floral display heen made in honor of any puillic man as could be wit- nessed within the great: corridor where lay the catafalque. /But the perfumed and brilliant hued magniticence attracted scant attention,, i f Procesmien of Symputhisers, All day long two lines of peoplo passed rapidly by, looking only at the blask casket, with the prospect ghat they would so con- tinue throughout ‘the wight, if permitted. The face the people looked upon was the one 1] had been accustomed to in life. Death had wrought no perceptible changes. The late mayor seemed to be sleeping. Three quartets, stationed unseen uear the bier, voiced at intorvals the hymn ‘“-Lead, Kindly Light.” Grimy little" bootblacks, with their kits upon their shoulders and their ragged hats in their tiny hands, tip- toed by and paused a moment to look upon the face of the man they knew in life. Old city emploges brushed away tears as they went by. The coffin rests in the center of a rased platform on the first floor. The platform is car- peted and walled in on each side with black. An arched roof of black adds to the sober- ness of the scene. All the entranc to the building and nea all the offices in the building are draped with black, and all of the offices except those thatit was absolutely necessary to keep open were closed. Arrangements for the Funeral, “The public schools will be closed tomorrow for the funeral. The Board of Trade, banks and other places of business will also be do- serted. The funeral will take place a 11 o'clock from the Church of the Epiphany, at Ashland boulevard aud Adams street. An hour before the time the remains will be taken from the city hall to the church, where the services, according to the Episco- pal ritual, will be conducted by Rev. T.N. Morrison, jr.
