WIDE LATITUDE ALLOWED.
/Vork of Securing Borah Jury Pro
gressing Slowly.
Boise, Ida., Sept. 25.—The task of
empanelling a jury to try United
States Senator W. E. Borah, charged
with timber land frauds, was resumed
during' the day in the United States
district court.
Federal Judge Whitson, who came
from Spokane, Wash., to preside at
the trial at the request of Judge Diet
rich of this jurisdiction, is allowing
a rather wide latitude in the examina
tion -of prospective jurors.
This is due partly to the fact that
the government attorneys are con
fronted by many men who claim polit
ical and personal acquaintance with
Senator Borah and who declare that
it would take exceptionally strong
evidence to destroy the regard in
which they have always held him.
Tho government is accepting only
those men who declare that the sen
ator's exalted position would not de
ter them in dealing equal and exact
justice as between him and the Unit
ed States.
United States District Attorney
Ruick, against whom charges of im
proper conduct before the grand jury
are pending, is conducting the exam
ination of the jurors and is putting
each candidate for the trial panel
through a long series of questions as
to what he personally thinks of the
district attorney's course in the mat
ter.
AGREE TO FRENCH TERMS
Moroccan Tribesmen Decide to
Lay Down Their Arms.
Paris, Sept. 25.—The bloody war in
Morocco has ended. Peace has been
doclareH in the land of the Moors.
General Prude has been victorious
and the rebellious tribesmen have
been forced to accede to every one of
hi'- demands. General Drude demand
ed an unconditional surrender. At
first there was much murmuring, but
the stem attitude of the French com
mander and the continued presence of
his soldiers, together with the over
whelming defeats of the past two
weeks, compelled the rebels to sub
mit.
The government has received with
great satisfaction a dispatch from
Rear Admiral Philibert, the comman
der of the French naval forces in Mo
roccan waters, saying that as a result,
of a conference at General Drude's
headquarters between the French na
val and military commanders and
nineteen caids, representing the Oule
seoyan, Zenata and Zyaida tribes, the
three tribes have accepted uncondi
tionally the peace terms offered by
France.
To secure the carrying out of the
terms agreed to two notables of each
tribe shall be given up as hostages.
The delegates of the Ouleseeyan, Ze
nata and Zyaida tribes immediately
named their hostages and signed the
cupUulation.
The campaign which France has
just brought to a successful close in
Morocco was inaugurated early in Au
gust under the mandate given to both
France and Spain by the Algeciras
agreement to maintain proper police
regulation in the seaports of Morocco.
The direct cause of the movement was
the murder July 30 of seven Euro
peans at Casa Blanc-a.
REAPPOINTMENT GAZETTED
Wu Ting Fang Again Named Chinese
Minister at Washington.
Peking, Sept. 25.—The reappoint
ment of Wu Ting Fang to his former
post as minister of China at Washing
ton has been gazetted.
Washington, Sept. 25.—The govern
ment at Peking has not yet informed
the stale department, of its purpose
of appointing Wu Ting Fang as Chi
nese minister at Washington, al
though Minister Rockhill has referred
to the current understanding among
the native officials that this appoint
ment was to be made. There is no
reason to believe that the state de
partment would object to the recep
tion of Mr. Wu. It is thoroughly ac
quainted with his limitations and in
the past was sometimes disposed tp
caution him to refrain from the ex
tremely free criticism in which he in
dulged in public, but it was realized
that he was animated solely by a patri
otic desire to protect his countrymen
from further discriminatory treatment
by law or treaty and the department,
therefore was inclined to be lenient.

ty-two men the gasoline tank on the

risville arid W. E. Meserve were badly

The party'from HarrisvlUe bad come
here with a brass band to attend a
big land sale and had gone out on the

miracle. The explosion was caused
by a lantern falling from the roof of
the yacht to tho-engine, igniting: the
gasoline.
