London, May 21. The Associated
I'rets is able to say that no message lrom
President Kruger, direct or indirect, has
been recently received by Lord Salisbury
or by any department of the British
government. The proximity of peace,
according to the government point of
view, will remain a matter of military
progress. How soon the latter may bring
about the former is still too suppositious
for a serious forecast on the part of any
government official.
The concensus of opinion, aa gleaned
by the Associated Press and the govern
ment officers, is that tho Boer delegates
will exhaust every effort in the United
States before resting.
It is announced that Colonel Baden
Powell will be made n major-general.
Mafeking waa actually relieved by
Colonel Mahon.

While most Englishmen are concentrating-
their attention upon events
in South Africa there are signs thnt
the northwest corner ot the lniirhtv
continent will be the point of at
traction in the very near future.
News has reached London that the
French had seized Aln Salah, from
which down to the present the Tu
aregs, a Berber tribe, have waged war
with all and sundry when occasion has
offered. Ain Salah is the capital of
the oases o the Touat district, its
wild inhabitants pay no tribute to
the sultan, nor does his writ run in
their territory, but while he lias some
claim to the country France has none,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
France is steadily encroaching upon
Morocco, working all ways at once.
From Oran and Tlemcen, in Algeria,
the rail runs to Ain Sefra, and thence
France could pour an army into Fez,
which is within comparatively easy
reacli.
The shereefs of the holy city of
Wazzan, who claim descent from the
prophet and have a very trrtat fol
lowing in Morocco, are under French
protection. Without an order from
the French consul it is very difficult
for nn Englishman to visit Wazzan.
France has extended her protection
among the most turbulent of the Mo
roccan lighting tribes. She recruits
her Algerian army from among them,
and in return for military service on
the frontier gives protection to them
and to their families. The Biff Arabs,
who are notoriously valiant and care
less, have some 30 per cent, of their
fighting men under the care of France
in return for an average term of one
year's service. In connection with this
branch of French enterprise there is
a French military mission to the
shereefian court. Within the last IS
months France lias given another un
mistakable proof of her intention to
extend her influence in the ill-governed
country of Muley Abdul Ai..
Through her representatives and,
some say, at her expense a Russian
embassy lias been established at Tan
gier, but so far as the embassy can
discover there is but one Russian sub
ject in Tangier.
A crisis is inevitable in Morocco.
The government is going from bad to
worse; corruption indeseribablo pre
vails everywhere; justice is bought
and sold; weak tribes are destroyed
without inerey, strong ones are bribed
as we in old times bribed the. Dalies;
you can say nothing worse to a man
than ".May Allah send the sultan to
you"--i. e., may you be robbed of all
you have and oust into prison, there
to rot. The sultan is not yet u man,
and he has a small intellect endow
ment; Che strong man, Abu llamed,
may be stricken down at any moment,
ltebelllon, famine and misery untold
nnd unimagined stalk hand in hand
through a land that yields in point of
agricultural and mineral possibilities
to no part of Africa.
The end may come to-morrow, it
can bo no more than n few years dis
tant. France is prepared, and,
though seizure of Morocco by any
any power would cause such u war
as may not be contemplated without
horror, it must not be imagined that
all the French preparations, involving
an endless expenditure of time and
labor, have been undertaken for
nothing.
