He is threatened with typhoid fever. Lieutenant Hobson was taken ill at Washington three days ago. He Immediately came to this city and put up at the Army and Navy Club. Last night he became worse, and a physician who was called in stayed with fcim all night. To-day it wa3 decided to take him to the hospital. URGES MODIFICATION. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) tually prisoners. The court is unable to fro to l-Vking, even if inclined to do so. Deside, the long Journey from Si-Ngan-Fu to Peking, now that the snow is on the ground, is almost impossible with the vehicles in use in those primitive districts. Starving out the court is not feasible. The allies will be unable to carry out such a measure. However, even if it was possible, the provinces would rise in a body for the court's defense. The worst feature Is that the court has lost confidence in Li Hung Chatg and Prince Ching, who bavei demonstrated their impotence to deal properly with the invading powers. Under the circumstances it is certain the Chinese troubles cannot be adjusted before spring or summer." Earon Von Wangenhell's assertion in the Reichstag that Emperor William is systematically misinformed Is still discussed by the press. The Cologne Volks Zeltung ays editorially that it is notorious that his Majesty does not read the papers representing the various parties, but only daily extracts made by personal employes. "Thus," the paper adds, "depending entirely on the personal prejudices of his entourage he sees only such clippings as his entourage wants and Is necessarily getting wrong impressions." The Volk Zeitung strongly admonishes the Emperor to, hereafter, devote half an hour daily to glancing personally over the leading organs of each party, saying that there he "must feel the pulse of the nation." The disproportionately large share which the Socialist members of the Reichstag have had in the debates since the Reichstag reconvened arouses much press comment. The Deutische Tages Zeitung says: "It sounds strange, but it cannot be denied that the Socialists already dominate the parliamentary proceedings." MISSIONARIES AVANT REVENGE. Ask the Government to Show No Mercy Towards the Chlnene. CHICAGO, Dec. l.-W. E. Curtis, tele graphing from Washington to the Record, says: "It is a Elngular fact that the only Mood-thirsty communications received at the White House and the Department of State on the Chinese question come from ministers of the gospel, especially from mls?ionarIes. Forgetting the gentler teachings of Christ, they Insist upon the application of the old Mosaic law in the punishment of the Chinese an eye for in eye and a tooth for a tooth and the utter destruction of the cities in which the wickedness has been committed. Thty demand the lives of the Emperor and Empress dow ager, and all the members of the court and the wholesale slaughter of the officials of the government. Many of them demand that Peking shall be burned to the ground and tho site sown with salt. It is the spirit of those who hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord. "The files of the Department of Statß are being rapidly tilled with such communi cations, and the writers often threaten the President and the secretary of state with vengeance if they do not abandon thtlr pacific policy and join Germans In the work of murder and destruction. The merchant class, whose communications are lmost as numerous, take an opposite view of the situation, and ask for an early settlement of the difficulty on the most practical terms. The department has received a great deal or interesting and valuable advice from merchants who havd lived In China and who understand the character of the people." France Guarding Canton. PARIS, Dec, 1. At a meeting of the Cab inet this morning the minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse, announced that the Christians had re-entered Lhe towns they formerly Inhabited In tho province of Canton, district of Shun-Tak. escorted by French artillery and Chinese troops. Official notices, he added, had been posted in the villages, requesting the populace not to disturb the Christians and announcing ienalti?s for further outrages. The Chi nes authorities have been notified that they will be dismissed and their goods confiscated in case of renewed trouble. The Chinese who are known to be guilty of murder will be executed in the presence of French troops. Chinese Alarmed. SHANGHAI, Dec. 1.

THE LIFE IN MOROCCO

ALDERT J. NATHAN RETURNS AFTER YEARS IN THAT COUNTRY. He Is Familiar with the Marder of Naturalized American In Fei Government Rotten. Albert J. Nathan, whose American address is Butler, Pa., but who for the last six years has lived in Morocco, a province In the northwestern corner of Africa, Is in the city, staying at the Hotel English. This morning Mr. Nathan will preach at the Friends Church, on North Alabama street. He went to Morocco about six years ago to take up missionary work on his own account, and the most of that time has been spent at Tangier, one of the four capitals of Morocco. Tangier is known as the diplomatic capital, because the consuls from the various foreign countries reside there. The young Sultan of Morocco spends a great deal of hl3 time in the city of Fez. The old Sultan, Mooley El Hassen, died a few years ago, and was succeeded by his son, Mooley Abdel Asseez. The young Sultan is the son of a white Circassian slave, who was brought from Asia Minor as a present to the old Sultan.Mr. Nathan says that the Moorish government is rotten and that he believes it is only a question of time when the country will fall into the hands of a foreign power. Mr. Nathan served for a time at the American consulate, while Consul Gummere was away on sick leave. The vice consul was also away, and Mr. Nathan attended to all the business that came up during the time. He says the Moors have conceived a great admiration for the United States government since the Spanish-American war. S!nce we licked the Spaniards, the Moors think we are right in it." he said. The Moors and Spaniards are historic enemies. The Moors were once powerful in Spain, but were driven out. Mr. Nathan says it Is understood In Morocco that the old Sultan left in tho neighborhood of 1,000 wives. The young Sultan, he says, only has about a dozen wives, but Is increasing Ills harem. A DIVORCE CHEAP. "A man can get a divorce in Morocco for about 15 cents," said Mr. Nathan last night, unless there is some stipulation at the time of his marriage that prevents it. For instance, the governor of Tangier wanted to marry tho daughter of a rich Moorish merchant. Her father would not consent to the marriage unless the wouldbe suitor would agree to sign a contract providing for the forfeiture of a sum of money if he procured a divorce from the woman or moved away from Tangier. I think the amount was $6,000. The marriage took place and now the husband is temporarily residing at Fez, but he does not dare take his wife away from Tangier." The Mohammedan law allows each man to have five wives, and he has violated the law when he takes more than that number. There are many violations of the law, however. Mr. Nathan says the better class of Morocco women never uncover their faces when they are outside their own homes. He has seen many pretty Moorish faces, having been called into their homes as a physician. He says a woman must be very fleshy before she comes up to the Moorish Idea of feminine beauty. Frequently a Moorish belle will tip the scales at 200 pounds. Mr. Nathan is familiar with the story of the murder of Marcus Ezagui, a naturalized American citizen, who was killed in June, 1900, in the city of Fez, and for which the American government Is now claiming an indemnity. Marcus Ezr gui was a Moor but had come to America and had been naturalized. He returned to his native country as the representative of a' French firm of merchants and went to reside in the city of Fez. On the day he was killed he was riding through the streets on a mule. CAUSE OF MURDER. According to the story related by Mr. Nathan, the mule switched Its tail against one of the holy men of the city, and thi3 so infuriated the people that they set upon Esagui, dragged him from his mule and started with him through the streets. He drew hl3 revolver and fired, striking one of hi3 captors. Then thy mutilated him terribly, and, while he was yet alive, placed him on a pile of wood saturated with coal oil and burned him to death. "This is only one of the numerous claims the United States government has against the Moorish government," said Mr. Nathan. "I understand this government has claims aggregating about $100.000. These claims, for the most part, are on account of citizens of this country who have been robbed by the Moorish government or cast into prison. The Moorish people themselves are honest enough, but the government is thoroughly dishonest and insincere. They seem not able to resist practicing what might be called Oriental diplomacy, but which is only another name for lying. They no doubt have promised to pay these claims many times, but they never do it. There is more absolute despotism about the Moorish government than can be charged to the Turkish government. Many a man has been robbed by the Moorish government literally robbed. AFRAID OF WARSHIPS. "A few years ago the warship Chicago came to Tangier to collect a claim from the government, which the officers had been promising to pay. An American warship, or in fact the warship of any other country, always brings the Morocco government to time. On the occasion of the Chicago's visit the debt was paid within twenty-four hours. As soon as the Chicago arrived Moorish officials, of course, prostrated themselves. 'Only send th Chicago away they said, 'and we will go to our Lord and Master and get this money. They meant they would go to the Sultan, who was probably in another city Admiral Howison, of the Chicago, replied that his lord and master lived in Washington and had ordered him to settle the matter at once. It was settled and to the perfect satisfaction of the admiral." Mr. Nathan says that Mr. Gummere, the present American consul at Tangier, in thoroughly capable of handling these dishonest and hypocritical officials. He is never taken in by their "Oriental diplomacy." . In some parts of Morocco thero are hostile and warring tribes of Moors, who are not under the control of the Sultan. "I fell in with one of these tribes once," said Mr. Nathan, "and had a very thrilling experience. With another -whito man, a Canadian, I made an expedition to the country lying between Fez and the Algerian border. We met one of thesj tribes, who fell upon us with guns and knives and captured us. We might have been killed there had not a very curious thing happened. Our lives were saved by a Moorish highwayman, who felt that he ought to protect us because we had once eaten at the home of a man with whom he was friendly. The tribe robbed us of what we had and threw us Into a dungeon, where we lay for eight or ten days while our captors made up their minds "how to kill us. While they were debating over our fate an old woman became interested in trying. to save us and persuaded her sen to make the attempt. He liberated us one morning at daybreak and furnished us horses. We made our way back to Fei without being recaptured. We made no claim against the government on account of this outrage. In fact none of the claim now pending are on account of any trouble the missionaries have had." Mr. Nathan's wife and children have been with him In Tangier. He expects to return there within a few weeks. He says the city has a population of about 25,000 and is one of the most attractive of the Oriental cities. A New Kind of Metal. The bronze work for the candelabra now being erected around the soldiers' monument was done by a leading firm in Berlin. It Is composed of a new composite metal called aluminium bronze and Is proof agalnzt oxydizatlon, tarnish or the effects of weather. It will retain its brightness permanently. The metal is comparatively new to the United States, and nothing at all comparable to these candelabra can be found anywhere. The bronze is all handwork, hammered and worked from the inside out. There is no casting, every Inch of the entire work having been done by hand. Hr. Dallman, a tllzl Qcmx.

tlsan, who has been in many countries and who is here to superintend the erection of the candelabra, says the monument and Its surroundings are the finest in the world. UNION LABOE AFFAIRS.

Blatters That Are AfTectincr Various Organizations. The executive committee of Central Labor Unloi? held a meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss the alleged attempt of the brewers to intimidate th drivers and stablemen from joining the union. It was said tha matter would go into court, but no such steps were taken at the meeting, and It is not likely the matter will be carried Into litigation. A conference was sought with the brewers, but the committee was informed that no meeting could be held with the association until a week from next Friday. Organizer Feltman says he will go on with the organization of the drivers and stablemen who already have a charter, and also with the engineers and firemen. A meeting of the engineers and firemen will be held this afternoon to complete their organization. Incidental with this matter the committee has an internal difficulty, arising over the premature exposure of the committee's plans. It 1? asserted that the informant will be ousted if he is discovered, and lhe committee will divide its timev between hunting down this man who gave the secret away and watching the brewers. xxx There will- be no readjustment of tha wage scale by the Iron Molders and Foundrymen's Association for next year. When the last convention adjourned It was agreed that either side should give the other thirty days' notice if the scale was not satisfactory. The scale expires Jan. 1, and, as yesterday was the last day for the notification and neither side was informed that they were dissatisfied the present scale will continue till Jan. 1, 1W2. The Indianapolis scale is $2.75 a day for iloor men and $2.50 a-day for bench men. .Martin Fox, president of the International Ur.ion. of Cincinnati, visited the local union last week on a trip through the country to get a general review of the situation. xxx Patrick Moran, a bachelor, held the number that drew the kitchen range at the iron molders ball last Wednesday night. :h xxx, The Painters Union will, give a smoker to the public-in Central ' Union Hall one week from Tuesday night. XXX A meeting will be held at Central Labor Union Hall Wednesday night to organize the stationary engineers and' firemen of the city. This organization is to be independent of the union of engineers and firemen in tho breweries. .JUST PUNISHMENT. Captain George, of the Fire Department, Whipped James Ilylund. Captain George, of engine company No. 1, was the recipient of several compliments yesterday for an act which resulted in the arrest of James Hyland, 1713 North Senate avenue, on charges of drunkenness and assault and battery. Fire box 324 was pulled late In the afternoon and Captain George was on his way to the fire, riding on the hose wogan with Ezra Hamilton, driver. They went west on Michigan ttreet. At West street a collision with the buggy in which Hyland was driving was avoided , only by Hamilton's quick perception and action in pulling his team to the right and driving over the curb. When the wagon wheels struck the curb it was almost overturned, but in some miraculous way righted itself. The team was stopped as soon as possible and Capt. George got off and returned to see the man who had so nearly caused serious Injury or death to all on the hose wagon. According to George and others on the hose wagon Hyland deliberately blocked the way and seemed Indifferent as to whether or not there was a collision. George, after a few questions which were ignored, went to the horse's head and took hold of the bridle, while someone called the bicycle police. Hyland demanded that George release his horse and when it was not done got out and walking up to the captain struck him. He attempted to strike the second blow when Captain George turned upon him and administered a whipping of goodly measure. The bicycle police arrived and Hyland was taken to headquarters under arrest. In speaking of the encounter Capt. George said he was no fighter, and in fact unable to enter a combat with confidence, but that he didn't propose to allow a man who had so nearly caused the death of himself and companions to assault him without resenting the attack.

A treasure of quite exceptional value and interest to all Shakspearian scholars has been discovered in Venice at least such is the claim made by the discoverer, Prof. Cesare Auguste Levi, a distinguished historian. While searching among the state archives of the old republic of Venice and among the documents of those families which were most potent in the days of the doges, his object being to write a history of the relations between Candla and Venice In the sixteenth century. Professor Levi unearthed a large bundle of letters which had lain unopened for centuries in the Griminani Palace. A,fter a cursory examination he became convinced that in them lay the key to a mystery which has puzzled hundreds of scholars throughout Europe for the last 300 years. In a word, he felt assured that the let ters contained the story of Othello and Desdemona, and hence that the famous Moor and his luckless wife were not mythical characters, as had hitherto been supposed, but historical personages who played a notable part in their day. The bundle of letters was marked 762, this being the number under which the Calergi family is registered in the state archives of Venice, and under the outsid cover was a second one marked private." The letters were written by Antonio Calergi, in Candia, on handmade paper, in 15t2, and their author, says Professor Levi, was the man whom all the world now knows as Iago. His object In writing Is clearly shown. Some years before 1542 Andrea Calergi, a wealthy Candian and a riotous free liver, had married his daughter Elizabeth when very young to one Maffeo Calergi. The latter, however, soon separated from her, and apparently her light conduct warranted mm in doing so. At such an insult Andrea waxed furious, and, lying in wait for his son-in-law, he stabbed him to death. His arrest and trial followed, and only his great influence saved hlrn from an ignominious death. His daughter Elizabeth took as her second husband Pietro Querinl, who is the living type of Shakspeare's Bräbantlo. From this marriage came a daughter, Palma, who, in 1333, married Nicolo Querinl. Now according to Prof. Levi, Palma and Nicolo Querinl are the real names of Desdemona and Othello. Nicolo Querinl was a wealthy, high spirited man, of much military experience. Friends he had many, but also many bitter enemies, most notable among the latter being Carlo Querinl, tho alleged prototype of Shakespeare's Casslo, and Antonio Calergi, the writer of the letters discovered by Prof. Levi. Palma and Nicolo, it appears from tho letters, were very much in love with each other during the first few years after their marriage, but then troubles came. Nicolo was absent from home much of the time fighting against the Turks, and whenever he returned his wife and friends noticed that he had become very gloomy and suspicious. There were strange stories afloat about Palma's mother, and it may be that for that very reason he began to distrust his wife, on the theory "like mother, like daughter In any case, his distrust and harsh treatment of her became so marked that his mother-in-law finally interfered and urged Carlo Querinl to protect his cousin against her husband. CALdSRGI'S DEADLY BLOWS. It Is Antonio Calergi, however, who deals the deadliest blows at the Jealous husband. In one letter written to a friend in Venice, he charges Nicolo with having ridden through the city on a she ass, which was adorned with Palma's heavy gold necklace, her husband's object being to show thereby his contempt for her, and on account of this and other shameless deeds he claims that Nicolo should be severely punished. In subsequent letters he says that Nicolo used to beat his wife until she was black and blue, and that the unfortunate woman finally fied for refuge to the Church of San Francesco, where she was found by her father, who took her to his home. Nicolo thereupon vented all his animosity upon his wife's parents, the result being that they finally charged him in court with having tried to throttle their daughter. r The authorities of Candla thought the matter so serious that they sent instructions to the omnipotent "Council of Ten in Venice. The 'councll." however, was wise in its generation. Well It knew that there were no families more powerful in Venice than the Calergls and the Querinis, and. not wishing to offend either, it inflicted a llkht sentence on Nicolo and sura mened him back to Venice. To Nicolo s enemies, who had urged that for his numerous crimes a sentence of death should be passed on him, thi3 vras a sore disappointment; but they xrerz porcrltts, rma for c-.rercJ yc-ra IJlc-ü livrj I I 4.

PATTOX I1ROH., lO-i the blow so long threatened fell. One morning he was found murdered, and it has always been assumed that his murder was instigated by Antonio Calergi, the implacable Iago. Palma never saw her husband after he left Candia. According to Professor Levi, all obtainable evidence, both Internal and external, goes to show that Shakspearo had the story of Nicolo and Palma Querini in mind when he wrote the tragedy of which Othello and Desdemona are the leading figures. The general opinion hitherto has been that Shakspeare obtained his plot from a novel by Giraldi Cintio on the same subject, but as there does not appear to have been any English translation of this novel at the time when Shakspeare wrote his tragedy, some critics claim that he must have obtained the plot from some other source. The question now at issue, however, is not, where did he' obtain the plot, but, were Nicolo and Palma Querinl the originals of Othello and Desdemona? - After a careful study of Shakspeare's play, and of various documents filed away . in the Venetian archives, Prof. Levi maintains that this question can be answered unhesitatingly in the affirmative. The play, he points out, was written very soon after Nicolo Querini's insane jealousy of his wife became a public scandal In Candia. TRYING TO PROVE IT. Furthermore, as the earlier Querinis had Intermarried with eastern potentates, there is good reason for supposing that some members of the family were dark skinned, and that the title "Moor of Venice," was a nickname fastened on Nicolo Querini on that account. Moreover, old manuscripts found in Cyprus refer to the "Whites of Venice," who were evidently refugees that had married Cyprian women, and if there were "Whites of Venice there were probably also "Moors" or "Blacks" of Venice. It 13 also noteworthy that in the Querini family the baptismal name Almoro is often found, and this might easily have been shortened to "Moro," meaning "black." Finally, in the picture gallery of the Querinl palace there are several family paintings, and among them is a portrait of a very dark man. Professor Levi took photographs of many pictures in this gallery, and he intended to reproduce them in his book, together with Angelo Antonio Calergl's letters, which are so numerous that when printed they will occupy between 500 and XK large pages. Othello and Desdemona. it is cx are purely symbolical names, the former signifying something very low, such as an abyss, or the dregs of anything, while Desdemona is of Greek origin, and slgnlfles an unfortunate woman, who is the Sport of opposing forces. It may be asked. Why did Shakannr use symbolical names if he knew the story of Nicolo and Palma Querinl? It may be well to note two reasons whv it was natural that he should use symbolical names. One was because the persons whns lif tragedy he depicted had made all Venice ring with their deeds a few years before he wrote the play, and it would h.irniv have b?en fitting or In accordance with the rules of dramatic art to bring them on the stage unaer tneir own names, and ihn other is because their story was well known an over Europe ana snak?peare couli nut afford to be criticised by persons asking him.

Furthermore, In Shakspeare's play Othello ki'.Is himself, after committing the murdtr, whereas Nicolo Querinl lives for several years after he had tried to choke his wife to death.
