Africa am, tlie slate elepartmcnt nt Washington arc cngtujeel lu negotiations with n v low te petting him out, The territory vvliereln this act, se offenslve te the American jiee pie, or at least te the consul, has taken place. Is en the northwest coast of Africa. Its situation U host fixcel In the intntlq of theso who are net especially vcrstil In geography by nellng that its coast line begins about CeO miles east of Gibraltar, en the southern fihoreof the Medltcrra tiean sea, and extends southwesterly frfiin Gibraltar about 7.r0 mllci mero en the Atlantic ocean, giving it a roast line of 1,000 miles. The Allan mountains, lying nlieut COO mllca In the hit rier, extend northwest and neuthwest, nearly parallel with the roast. It Is generally supposed that the cllmate of Morocco 'Is no het that no ene but cop per colored natlie'i can llve there, and the sultan Is usually pictured with slaves fanning him nnd holding something ever him which leeks very lil;e n gigantic feather duster, te screen him from the Etui. But en tlie slope extending north west en the Atlas mountains te the const, the cllmate is tempernte and delightful A pleasant sea breeze prevails during the greater part of the year, anil the het winds from the great desert, which forms the interior of northern Africa, nre Inter repted by the Atlas mountains. Kveti at the city of Morocco the thermometer nevcr rises above 95 degs and in winter doesn't fall below 40 degs. Snow never falls there, but up in the mountains there are glaciers eer which the winds passing, are pleasantly tempered, though some semo seme times they make the nights tee cold for comfort. If tlie United Slates were n colony founding country. It might Ikj well te pick n quarrel with the sultan of .Morocco and ap propriate the terri tory, for under nn enlightened gev- ernmeut It could be made very preductl ve.

Besides tliese llax, licinp and tobacco may be raised. Tlie present sultnu, SMI Mulal Hassan, is an old fashluiieil Oriental despot, Hu is C7 years old, though he has only reigned since he was 40. Of ceurse he is a Moham medan and u direct descendant of the prophet, but the mothers In his fnmlly liave always lx-en black slaves; conse quently he is very dubky. it may be interesting te Amei leans te knew, lu view of the possible ditllculties with this barbarian, that he has sluce thla occasion completely reorganized his army, and has armed ills infantry with Martini Henry rifles, his cavalry with AYlnehes tcrs, and has made purchases of Krupp guns. He has uUe purchased machinery for the manufacture of jruiis and cart rldj;es, but his ambition in this matter outstripped the mechanical skill of his people, for they didn't knew hew te use the machinery after they get It. The sul tan's right hand man is Kald MucLeau, a Scotchman, us his uame Indicates, and it is he wheudxihisl tlie sultan in the reor ganization of his uuny. In the event of a war, if tlie United States bheuld net rulbe her present regular army, bhe would Ikj Bbeut evenly matched bv Mulal Hassan, wheEIfrmi.tliIiitj ever '.50,000 Infuntry. As te thonSAtef'BfHiMxtwe powers, sluce neither has any worth fcpcakingef they are nlr.e In this respect about etvtuly matched. The sultan having imitated I'lirepeans in the matter of army and implements of war, doesn't think It Itest te go any fur ther Uurepean courts of juslice are net se attractive te him If he wants a ploce of property belonging te an of ids sub jects he takes it, without any trouble, whereas, if he had ceuits, it would be necessary te cut off the heads of the judge and jury us a preliminary te a valid eon voyauce. As it is, when the owner ob Jects it is only necessary te deeapitate him, and a geed title Is eequlred. Tlie consequence of tlie sultan's ability in this respect is that his ilchest subjects en dcaver te hide their vteulth or te becure the protection of seme foreign consul or te ally themselves in trade with seme foreigner. Kacli foreign consul is entitled by law te u certain number of pretege? or clients among tlie sultan's native subjects, Whose goods are thus protected from teizure. It la under this sj stein of protection that the present dispute bet v ecu the United Slates and Morocco arises. Mr. Lewis, the American consul at Tangier, gets Inte a dispute with reference te his native preteges, several of whom with barbarous Moorish names w ere despoiled of tlielr goods and ene of them thrown into prison, The consul demands restltu lien, which is denied or deluved, a Unites States gunboat appears epku,n'''lv l'ttl.. liaroer and the war cloud duikens. The ditilculty seems te lle rather In the system of protecting consular preteges than lu a question of tlie rights of un American citizen. This sj stem has grown up te be very widespread from n small le ginning.
