s THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY,. DECEMBER 23 1901. 1 Black Pall Envelopes All England. NO SIGN OF ITS LIFTING Business Is Very Generally Suspended, THAMES JAMMED WITH SHIPS missions for Fez, which -was to take place in the near future, ha3 been postponed' sine die.

There is as yet r.o sign of the lifting of the fog which envelops the kingdom. The absence of wind throughout Great Britain is al most unprecedented, and meteorologists do not expect any change in the condi t;cns for another 24 hours. Consider ing the almost insuperable difficulties attending locomotion of any form, the number of fatal accidents has been re- murVshlv small. The congestion and suspension of business are" very general. &o iar-as linden is concerned, the tube railways are the only concerns benefited, and their daily traffic Is reaching record fgures. Places of amusement are al most deserted and shopkeepers are loudly lamenting the absence of the tiFual Christmas customers, instead of viv, tho hie stores are Inundated with coders by post which cannot be exe cuted owing to the complete disloca tion of all carrying business. Railway irafllc, both for long and short dis tances, is almost paralyzed. A condition rosembllng chaos prevails in the postal service. With the con tinued accumulation of Christmas par cels and letter traffic, it is quite impos sible to preserve even a semblance of punctuality. All railway trains are many hours late and many trains be tween London and the suburbs occupy a couple of hours In making a distance of eight miles. Mailboats in all directions are simi larly disorganized. The Oceanic and Saxonia have been unable to reach the landings at Liverpool. The Cedric and the Pretoria, outward bound, are both delayed, and the Minnehaha is waiting, at the mouth of the Thames, unable to proceed. Only two vessels entered the port of London yesterday, a condition of affairs such as has not occurred for 60 years. The mouth of the river is jammed with vessels loaded with per ishable foodstuffs of all descriptions. The streets of London present re markable scenes. Nothing Is visible except link boys' torches and the oc casional flare of big creosote lights which the authorities are beginning to employ to assist traffic At Birmingham Sir Oliver Lodge is making experiments with a model elec trical apparatus for the dispersal of fog which, although successful, is re garded as being too expensive for ap plication on a larger scale. Nearly everybody Is suffering from headache, which the doctors attribute to the fog. Retrial of Dreyfus Recommended. PARIS, Dec. 22. It is officially reported that the' Attorney-General who has been examining the Dreyfus case has decided to recommend a retrial before a court martial. This, it is added, is subject to the approval of . the Court of Cassation, which meets in February next. It is affirmed that the principal motive Involved was that Dreyfus should not have been charged with treason, but un der the espionage act. The anti-Dreyfus organs hint that this means a practical dropping of the matter, as the offense un der that act is now covered by the statute of limitation. Status of Hospital-Ships. the WAGlife. Dec 22. The conven tion on the status of hospital ships orrini imnn bv the delegates of the powers to the International conference on tl subiecL was signed today in the presence of the foreign minister.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec . 22.

The expedition Is expected to require from three to five years to complete its work. Sultan Fears for Throne. NEW YORK, Dec 22. An order Just issued by the Sultan of Morocco ex pelling all foreign missions, delegates and employes at present attached to his court at Fez, and also two of his own. Ministers, was arranged six months ago, according to men familiar wjth Moroccan affairs, who are now in New York. The only reason the expulsion order wa3 not carried out sooner was that some of the powers represented at Fez used their Influence to hold it back. These same powers, it is be lieved, will immediately bring pres sure to bear on the Sultan to have their representatives reinstated. James "W. S. Langerman, recently American Vice-Consul at Tangier, said regarding the orderi "The Sultan, who has been Inclined to open up his country to tho. trade of the ouside world, especially the in terior, has come to the conclusion that too much jealousy exists among repre sentatives of the various foreign pow ers in Morocco. He has also been made aware of the fact that the pretender Bouhamara and most of the tribes who are fanatics and anti-Christians have been using the presence of these few Europeans in Fez to incite the people of the outlying districts of the city to have the brother of the Sultan -proclaimed Emperor. "American influence is stronger in Morocco at present than In - any other country, and our commerce will soon find there a market which hitherto has practically been closed to it." Sultan Faces a Crisis. PARIS, Dec. 23. A dispatch from Tan gier to the Matin says: "Owing to the proposal of the Sultan of Morocco to dispense with the services of the French military mission, the French Minister informed the Council of Minis ters that his government had instructed him to defer his departure for Fez pend ing further advices. The: Minister has instructed the military mission to leave Fez immediately for Tangier and has written to the French VIce-Consul to leave 12 days after Teceipt of letters, with all Frenchmen in the city. This opens a crisis which will become serious should the Sultan remain obdurate." GALL IT A FORGtRY Dr. Chadwickand-Wife Indicted k by Grand Jury.

ODESSA, Dec 22. The question wheth er Jews are prohibited by their religion from contracting plural marriages has been raised in the case of a man named Constein, convicted of polygamy, owing to his taking advantage of the Russian law which recognized the legality of plural marriages where the religion of the con tracting party authorizes it. Constein ap pealed, alleging that although the prac tice was discontinued in Western coun tries, the Jews were following the teaching of Jerusha as interpreted by the Talmud and the patriarchs. David, Solomon, etc, and that the practice was now followed by the Israelites in the mountains of the Caucasus. The court allowed the ap peal, and summoned a lawyer to gather government testimony. Perjurers May Escape Prison. PARIS, Dec. 22. The Court of Criminal Appeals has reversed the lower court's decision condemning Masse and Moranne to three years' imprisonment for perjury in the Fair will case. The appellate court sustained the prisoners' plea that as the. Fair case was compromised without trial in the United States, their alleged false testimony was not used In the American courts, and therefore worked no Injury. Jiasse and aioranne testified that they saw Mr. and Mrs. Fair thrown from their automobile. Other testimony showed that they were not present, but that thoy so represented themselves, hoping to get a trip to America. They were sentenced to three years imprisonment each.

The clew consists of a one-ounce botUe. labeled "poison." which was found within 50 feet of the spot where the body of the murdered girl was discovered. The label, though partially destroyed, is believed tff be sufficient to lead the detectives to the druggist -who sold the poison, and may eventually lead to the capture of the murderer. In the Immediate vicinity of the bottle was found a linen Handkerchief of ordi nary size, hemstitched and bearing in the corner a laundry mark, "D. I. C." Officers are making a careful search for the missing portion of the label from the bottle. The label is the regular red poison label, but from the center had been scratched the major porUon of the name of the druggist and the address. What Is left of the label reads as fol lows: "Carbolic Acid Poison. Antidote made by mixing a tablespoonful of mustard in water ... In water, afterward am monia, whiskey or . . . E. J. Pi . . . . . uggist." That portion of the label that Is torn is indicated by the periods. The bottle is an ounce bottlo of pecu liar shape, and not such as is used in this city by druggists. It is tall and slim, with an unusually long neck and a bev eled bottom. It was found under a tree, and the label had been soaked oft and was lying "upon the ground beneath the bottle, in two pieces. Between the tree and the point where the remains were found are spots on the ground, believed to be blood spots. Tho police will make a strong ef fort to trace the poison to the druggist who sold it, and a careful description will be sent all over the United States. The police department will have printed 10,000 copies of the diagram of the dental work in the mouth of e young woman found murdered on Cutler Mountain last Saturday afternoon. These diagrams will be mailed to 10,000 dentists with a request that they be exhibited tto all the profes sional acquaintances of the recipients, and It is beneved that in this way the de scription of the dental work will be brought before the attention of all the dentists in the United States. This Is regarded as the strongest clew to the Identity of the girl, and it is be lieved that when her Identity is estab lished the discovers- of the murderer will speedily follow.
