A marked reaction in public sentiment has followed tie Franco-German accord concerning the Morocco conference. Many of the leading newspapers are renewing their campaign of criticism against Germany. This is due principally to Chancellor Von Buelow's open statements favoring a Russo-German reapproacliment. The Matin reviews the claims of M. Deloasse's retirement from the Foreign Office, alleging that sensational events occurred in connection wifh the change.

M. Delcasse is represented as making a speech to the ministry warning them that if they! yielded to the German demands concern- ing Morocco, the ministry thereafter would always be subject to German distatioii. Tile runnier assens mat ureal, rouaiu conveyed definite assurances to France of her readiness to mobilize the British fleet with a view of adopting aggressive measures if Germany attacked France. London. The Matin's disclosures purporting to give details in connection with the resignation of the French foreign minister, Delcasse, because of the Moroccan situation and the sensational statement that Great Britain not only communicated to France her intention of supporting France in the event of a war with Germany, but actually giving details of her intentions regarding the place for the landing of troops nnd the seizure of the Kiel canal, created much talk in diplomatic circles to-day and lire published at length in all the afternoon papers.

In official quarters, however, no expression of opinion was obtainable. Foreign Minister Lansdowne was absent from the citv, and consequently it w-as impossible to get a definite statement regarding the actual lengths to which Great Britain went at the time of the crisis. During that time file Associated Press obtained a statement from a high official of the British Foreign OtHce, which to a certain extent supports the assertions of the Matin.

Hundreds of Tenement DWtlters Driven from Their Horn is.

New York, Oct. 7. Two city blocks burned over, fifteen business establishments destroyed, hundreds of tenement dwellers forced to flee for safety from their flame-threatened homes, one fireman injured, watchman burned, 2S0 fear-crazed horses roaming through crowded streets for more than on hour and a desperate three-hour struggle with the flames were the results of a tire which threatened de struction to a large portion of the upper East Side waterfront shortly after midnight. The loss was Starting in a rag-picker's shop in lOSth etreet near First avenue the flames gained headway so quickly that within a few minutes it was necessary to turn In four alarms and twenty-five engine companies, a fire boat and half a dozen towboats were rushing to the scene to combat with the flames which were sweeping southward. The block between KiHth nnd 107th streets, composed of small buildings, was swept within a few minutes and flying embers had ignited the big lumber yards of J.

Rebers' Sons Co. From the lumber yards the tire threatened the entire district. Half a doreu firemen caught in a back draft of flame and smoke when a lumber shed collapsed were blinded and choked but with one exception all escaped without serious injury. I'ipeman O'Neil was struck by a falling timber and fell unconscious. He was rescued by bis companions.

By this time the flames bait jumped across 107th street and were menacing Meyer Brothers' coal yards and a number of tenement houses. Michael Neher and his wife, who lived on the second floor of a two-story brick building at the riwr edge at the north side of 107th street had a narrow escnpe from death and were rescued with difficulty by the firemen, who took them from the windows. Shortly after their rescue tho house as in flnmes and was later completely destroyed. Nehr lost in cash, two gold watches and other jewelry nnd a Imx of rare old coins which he valued at $500. From this point the flames swept across to Meyer Brothers' coal yard on the south side of the street.

In the rear of the yards waa a stable where 2o0 horses were quartered. They were turned loose by the police and firemen and for more than an hour the frightened animals rushed through the crowded streets. Finally all were captured. The pier, sheds and other buildings of tbe American Ice Company, on the north side of lIMIIh street at the river edge, were in great danger, but were saved. South of the coal yard was a two-story brick structure facing on lOOlh street near the river, occupied by Klingcnbacli con tractors, and by J.

Sawyer, engraver, which was burned out. hroughiiut the fire the wind, veering around to the north, carried great showers of sparks southward, some as far as OOth street. These fell on the roofs of the tent-ments in their course and kept the occupants In alarm for hours. When the fire reached the north siile. of lOtltb street the Italian tenants of crowded tenement on the south side of that street became panic-stricken and rushed pell-mell to the street, yelling with fright.

The police had difficulty in saving them from injuring themselves. Tenants on the west side of First avenue were ordered to be ready to get out, but Ihe blaze was controlled before it reached those buildings. It was three hours after the fire started when the firemen controlled it. They gave up the fight in the lumber yard and do-voted their attention to Meyer Brothers' coal yard and building on lotith street. When they succeeded in checking the southward march of the flumes they went hack to the lumber vard which had been blazing unhindered.

The loss to the lumber company aggregated about half the total. Only the five-story office and storage building was saved of the lumber yard property. A change in the wind allowed the firemen to save a line of buildings on the east side of First avenue between 107 and lOHth street. Bears Message from Emperor. Washington, Oct.

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER Ha Cured Himsalf ol Serious Stomach Troubles, by Getting Down lo First Principles. A man of large affairs in one of 'rr prominent eastern cities by too close attention to business, too little exercise and too many club dinners, finally began to pay nature's tax, leviel iu Ihe form of chronic stomach trouble; the failure of his digestion brought about a nervous irritability mulling it impossible to apply bin-self 1) his daily business and finally deraiind the kiriuevs and heuit. In ills own words he says: "I consulted one physician after another and each, one seemed to understand my case, but all the same they each failed to bring about the return of my former digestion, appetite and vigor. For two years I went from pillar to post, from one sanitarium to another. I gave up smoking.

1 Quit coffee snxl even renounced my daily biss or two of beer, without any marked improvement. "Friends had often advised me to try well known proprietary medicine, Stuart's Iyspepsia Tablets, and I had, often perused the newspaper advertisements of the remedy but never took any slock in advertised medicines nor could believe a fifty-cent patent medicine would touch my case. "To make a long story short I Anally bought a couple of packages at the nearest drug store and took two or three tablets tifiei. ouch meal and oeonsionally a between meals, when I felt auy feeling of nnusea or dioomfort. "I was surprised at tiie end hi the first week to note a marked improvement in my appetite nnd general health and before the two packages were gone I was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure completely ami did not dis- aonoiut me.

I can cat and sleep anil en joy my coffee suppose I lull! id cigar and no one would ver known tho horrors of dyspepsia. "Out of friendly, curiosity I wrote to the proprietors of the remedy asking for information as to what tbe tablets contained and they replied that the principal ingredients were a septic pepsin (government test.1. mult diastase and other natural digestives, which digest food regardless of the condition of the stomach." The root of the matter is this, the digestive elements contained in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food, give the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate and the nerves and whole system to receive the nourishment which can only come from food. Stimulants and nerve tonics never give real strength, they give fictitious strength, invariably follower! reaction. Every drop of blood, every nerve and tissue is manufactured from our daily food, and if you can insure its prompt action and complete digestion by the regular use of so good and holesome remedy as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, you will have no need of nerve tonics and sanitariums.

Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been in the market, only a few years, probably every druggist in the I'nited States, Canada and Oreat Kiitain now sells them and considers them the most popular and successful ox pus preparation Xor stomach trouble Millionaire' Son Charged with Killing Little Girl Waif.
