Los nox, Jan. 7 Advices from Tahgicr showthat the Moorish mission sent to Touat to arrange for the annexation of the oasis to Morocco failed.

The envoys weic thrown into prison, and subse-quently, by the sultan's orders, they were strangled. England After Morocco. Pahis, Jan 7 The trouble at present in Tangier district of Morocco and the dispatching by the British government of two Warships to protect British interests in Tangier, has awakened a feeling in some French quarters that England has the of adding to her territory by forci. blc acquisition of a part of the Sultan of Morocco's domain. This feeling is not in any degree al-layed by the reports from Tangiers, which stat" that the British minister has warned the governor that if lie can. not guarantee the safety of tbe city against the rebel tribes, sailors will be landed from the British warships. This is taken by tbe alarmists I, an aggression on Hie part of the British, and . Seielt today demands that the government dispatch the entire French Mediterranean squadron to Tangier to prevent the British from carrying out any designs of an aggressive character they may have formed. lit l.Zo, In an article on the same subject, says that it - rumored thatthc French Med-iterranean ii. t has already been dispatched to Tangier.

Foreign Minister Kibot if HOW s that ho war not in possession of the full facts In the case when he took action. He did not then know that the French agent bad been verbally warned of Chadonine's expulsion. Now, seeing that he is forced to stand alone, he will deal with the matter in a conciliatory way and Stambouloff will do his best to meet him. France Crawfishing. PARI, Jan. II.

One of the clerks of the government department said to night that the capture of (larza was re-tarded as only, a question of a very few hours. While the officers are guarding the secret very closely, lie has been positively located ftt a ranch eighteen miles from San Diego.

OKAliOf, Kas., Jan. 7. Judge Botkin is here awaiting reinforcements to help him open court. Word comes from Springfield thai the Woodsdale people have taken of the court house. When seen to-day. Judge Botkin carried a big in a cartridge belt, and many others were similarly aimed. His vest was unbuttoned to the cutting wind, and not one iu town wore any coverings on their hands, iu order that the greatest freedom might be preserved and the quickest action admitted in case of emergency. Botkiu's first speech to Adju-tant Gem nil Huberts was that be wanted arms. He would rather have fifty urincd men and mounted deputies than all tile mili-tia men in Kansas. Botkin wired the governor again to send 100 stand of arms. He also wants troops kept here thn e weeks and the county kept under martial law. (Ieneral Roberts has telegrapiied the governor for instructions. Charles (truer ami a man named Lands, both of Springfield, wen arrested. They were in hiding in a canon near Judge Botkiu's house, three miles this side of Springfield. Word was n rein d that nil attempt would be made in rescue the prisoners tonight, upon receipt of which report Botkin ordered that tin y lie shot before .surrendered. About t o'clock company II In charge of Colonel Hii kseeker started for Springfield in wagons to aid Deputy Sheriff Lsrabee if necessary in serving thirty warrants for the nrr.sl- - "i oinpani E, the regim inlal band and (ieneral Roberts remained here to a the di puties in guarding the prisoners and to be ready to repel un attack. Com pan.v H look" plenty of provisions and the remaining company established quar-ters in a vacant store building. Part of company II is at the residence of Judge Botkin to do guard duly tonight. At suu-dow-the judge started from here for home, accompanied by a big revolver and a Win-chester. Topbka, Kas., Jan. 7. Governor Iluiuph-re- j arrived at the executive office. "If there la sufficient power in the state, I propose to have the leaders of this affair arrested," said he, This U about all that can be done. Attorney-Gener- Ives, speaking of the remedy for lawlessness said: "The trouble, as near as I can ascertain, began with an atccnipt by Colonel Sam Wood to resist what In- a sserted w as a fraudulent organization of Mi veils county, which organization was subsequently legalized by the legislature. "Tie i ' seem- - to be a g in r.il misconception of affairs in Unit county, and the troublo il Usually attributed to the county seat contest between Woodsdale and llugston. No such contest evet existed after the troubles re-sulting from the attempt to prevent the organization of Stevens county. The propo-sition for bonding the county in favor of railroads intensified the feeling already started between the different factions, finally culminating in the murder of Sheriff Cross and others on the neutral strip and to bring the alleged perpetrators of that crime to justice. 'Subsequently personal troubles arising between Judge Botkin and Sam Wood had a b ndency to spread hostilities. The result of an impeachment trial of Judge Botkin, winch ended In his favor, fanned the smoul-dering embers Ifito another tierce llunie, which culminated in the assassination of Sam Wood on June 33d last. The subse-quent failure to obtain a jury for the trial of Colonel Wood's alleged assassins added to the confusion, producing a feeling of insecurity among law abiding inhabitant i and has been taken advantage of by the lawless, who saw an opportunity to commit outrages for which, under the present state of affairs, it was impossible to bring them to justice. The only remedy I can see is through the legislature, which should at once disorgan-ize and atta'di the sparsely settled territory to more thickly settled counties for judicial purposes." Topbka, Jan. 7 Governor Humphreys wired Judge Botkin this morning that he could iiotjuil arms in the hands of the dep. uty sheriffs. The adjutant general further was instructed not to interfere with flic work done by the civil authorities, hut to assist them in serving warrants if called upon. Governor Humphrey received a dispatch this afternoon from the adlutant-gitner-dated al Arkalon, stating that iie had arrested and was holding four prisoners. The gi in ral anticipated hO trouble as long as the troops remained. Seiti Noi l K.i.n, Kan., Jan. 7. The intense fever of excitement under which the peo. pic of this locality have labored since the murder of Sheriff Dunn appears to bu and matters are gradually assuming tboij normal aspect. Further trouble may possibly follow, but it is not thought likely. Company II arrived here at sundown last night and went into camp. This morning many urincd men arc seen in the streets with Winchesters. This morning Judge Botkin opened court being protected by a strong guard. He ad-journed conn immediately and proceeded by wagon protected by a strong guard, to Santa Fe, Kans. , where cour; will be opened Tues-day morning. The coroner's jury examined three witnesses yesterday. There is a suspicion that liolkins' request for a iff arms is for the purpose of arming his svlends, and that, had they been sent, a general light would have followed. Botkins shows no disposition to retire from the bench, and the impression prevails that he will remain, even if it becomes neces-sary to place the entire judicial district un-der military rule. r . " - - I. . I. HOOTED AT THE FLAG. More Troulile in the Tennessee Mining Oistricts is Certain. Kxoxvii.le, Tenn., Jan. 7. A sentiment of anarchy is In the air throughout Coke Creek valley, and another outbreak is ex-pected every moment. The following cir-cular has been sent among the miners: "Convicts shall never gain a foothold here again. Onr prayer must be, 'Blessings on our people and destruction on the convicts, lessees and state militia.' We must act witli prudence, and give tit for tat. No matter what comes death, destruction or anarchy we must stand together. A hundred and sixty-seve- men think they may intimidate us. Shall we endure it? Never! The time, to strike once more, for our families and houies is almost at hand." Today when the I'nited States flag was run up, the troops cheered, but the miners yelled in derision: "It won't stay there long; we'll shoot it down, and you with it!" The miners come about the camp and watch the soldiers, standing about in knots and ex- - amlnlng their position. Trouble is bound to come inside of a week, ond there will be bloodshed. Eugene Merrill, the leader of the miners, has issued a proclamation calling a meeting for tonight. After that an outbreak Is ex-pected, and the state troops are preparing for it THE POPE MAY BE THERE. Tiie Ureal Catholic Congress to Meet at Chicago on Sept. 8, 1803, iiu'AGo, Jan. 7. Monday, Sept. 5, 19BS, the great Catholic congress, which will em-brace in its representation prominent Cath olics from every country in t lie world, where the Catholic religion flourishes, will meet in Chicago and continue in ses-sion five days. This was determined upon this morning at a meeting here of the ex-ecutive committee of this congress, which has the matter in charge. After the meet-ing today, Secretary Onahan said that they expect this congress to be the greatest representative .Catholic gathering ever held in the world. Will the pope attend in person?" was asked. "That is anticipated," said Onahan, "we know the pope feels very kindly toward tho congress. Of course, Pope Leo Is very old ; he may pass away before that time, and possibly the new pope might not have so far to come, because, yen know, he may be an American.1 The honorary presidency is to be tendered Cardinal Gibbons, and tbe honorary to Archbishop Foehan. A NEW MONTE CARLO. A Great (ininblinp; Establishment to he Opened on an Island in the racille. Chicago, Jan. 7. A local paper says a stock company has been organized with a capital of ten millions to establish a Monte Carlo gambling resort on a small island off the California const about thirty miles from Santa Barbara. Most of the stock has baan by New York capitalists. The island Is to bo fitted up in grand style. This in-formation is obtained from li. 8. Chapin of Chapin & (lore of this city. Matters are in abeyance at present as the question of tho ownership of the island lies between New Mexico and tho United States. It is pro-po-d to put on a line of steamers to ply be. twecn the islund and Santa Marbara and run the establishment the year 'round. The pa-per mentions tho name of Walter L. Max-wel- l of California, who was urged at one time for chief of the horticultural depart-ment of the World's fair, 1. L. Polk, his brotlici and J. L. tlaffney, member of the California state board os equalization, in connection with the project. THE WHISKY TRUST. The I'rlitcd Mtates Attorney Conducting no Investigation. Ciiii voo, Jan. 7. 1'nder instructions from the department of justice at Washington, United States District Attorney Milchrist has for some time been engaged in investigating the methods of doing business by the West-ern Distilling and Cattle company, com-monly known as the whisky trust, whose (headquarters are at Peoria, III. Complaint was made that the company was really a trust. The district attorney thinks lie has enough evidence against the company to warrant him in prosecuting. - m THE POOR IGNORANT CZAR. lie Know s Nothing of tiie soil 'ring iu His Own Dominion. s Lonimix, Jan. 7. Advices from St. Peters-burg show that the C.ar Is either wilfully blind to the situation of iilfairs in his em-pire or the true condition of the peasant-i- s kept from him. Me lias heretofore stated that no widespread famine exists and that the Sufferings of the poor was due entirely to the partial failure of the crops, which the government timls no trouble In making up from the stocks in the provinces where the crops were not affected. The latest Instance of his opinion on the subject as given at the recent review of the LeinonolTsky regiment. The officers of the regiment, moved by the stories of destitu-tion, slutted a subscription for the re-lief of the sufferers. It was necessary to get the czar's sanction for f he distribution of the money thus raised, .and the colonel, on the occasion of the review, begged the czar to give his permission. Helore the colonel could tluisii his appeal he was interrupted by the czar, who angrily exclaimed: arc no starving people in the empire. Their onlv suffering is due to a had harvest. The incisure', taken by the government will preserve them from famine." Chagrined at the abrupt refusal, the colonel retired and reported the result of the interview to his fellow officers. The remarks made by the cznr havo been keenly discussed in army society. There is no doubt that the efforts by certain govern-ment oilicials to relieve the distress would be more productive of results were it not for the dishonesty of other oilicials. Im-mense sums have been sent to the famine committee, but as yet no one outside the committee has any definite knowledge of lite benefits conferred, by the committee. A recent dispatch froui St. Petersburg stated that u committee of the Moscow lied Cross club, which has undertaken the distri-bution of private bounty among the famine stricken provinces, has discovered a defalca-tion amounting to ln.iKKI roubles. Large numbers of peasants are arriving in St. Petersburg. They have no means of subsistence and many on arrival are in a starving condition. Tin y conic here buoyed up by the hope that In this city they will bu aide to tin, employment, II is hard'iy neces-sary to say that their hopes are not realized.
