Sept. I. Another delay In the Franco-German negotiations over the Morocco situation has taken place. Instead of beginning- to-day upon the return Ambassador Cambon from Paris, they are not likely to be reopened until Monday. The official explanation la that M.

Cambon has not yet fully re covered from the Indisposition which prostrated him In 'Paris last week. Another and somewhat more probable, reason perhaps Is that, with Germany In the. throes of a particularly fervid celebration of Sedan Day," the forty-first anniversary of the surrender of Napoleon It has apparently been thought the-part of delicacy to wait for these festivities to subside before renewing the Moroccan pourparlers. Meantime the Kaiser's Government continues to profess a serene confidence In the pacific solution of the difficulties with France. It Is asserted that the new proposals which Ambassador Cambon has brought to Berlin are already known to Germany, and In their broad outlines meet with the approval of this Government.

The German Stock Exchanges do not apparently share this optimism, Inasmuch as they nave exhibited nervousness to-day, and a general decline of prices was the result. In the Interval the Fatherland con tinues to be obsessed with the worst outburst of Anglophobia which has prevailed since the days of the Boer war. France is almost eliminated from the publio mind as the antagonist, if, the tone of a portion of the German press is to be regarded is representative of German opinion. England Is the enemy is the, prevailing war cry. llerr Otto von Gottberg, one of Germany's most famous journalists, who represented the Lokal Anzeiger a long time in Kew Tork, indulges in a characteristic display of Anglophobia in his paper to-day.

Herr Gottberg declares that the Germans are hugging a delusion it they think England is a particularly dangerous antagonist. He depicts the Britons as a craven race, which has never won a war single handed, and 'says that the generation which produced Gen. would not be able to develop an Admiral Nelson in a modern war against Germany. BERLIN, Sept. 1.

No developments in the k'ranco-Oerman negotiations over Morocco are expected before Sunday, -us M. Cambon, the French Ambassador, 13 confined to his apartments by a fclik'lit indisposition. The course the negotiations will pursue cannot be stated itn accuracy, but it is believed 'that if France is disposed to accept Ucrmanjr'a minimum demand of certain portions of. the Congo as compensation, and there Is some reason to believe she the other questions affecting Morocco may be arranged Ccrmany fcs anxious to conclude the negotiations before the Reichstag meets 10. FRANCE EXPECTS AGREEMENT.

Concessions Regarded as Sufficient-Spanish Military Action Irritating. PARIS, Sept. 1. The French Foreign Office, It is understood, has not received any sure indication that Germany will accept the French proposals for a settlement of the Moroccan question, yet a measure of confidence Is felt in an early agreement because of. the extent of the aompcnsatlobs which are to be of fered by Frame.

-Since these are Central trees, it is not supposed that Germany would proceed to extreme lengths over a few thousand square rrJles mere or less. The real difficulty in the way of an early settlement, it is believed at the Foreign Office, lies in the tpecial commercial and mining guarantees which Germany may seek in Morocco, as nothing can od given Germany in Morocco whj'ch Gieat Britain does not post-ess. Btslues, anything like special privileges would afford endlesW occasions for the reopening of the controversy on Questions of interpretation. The French and British Governments neve- reached the fullest mutual agreement upon every phase of the Franco-German dispute. The nervousness of the upper business world over tho unsettled Franco-German negotiations relative to Morocco reflected to-day on the Bourse.

Transactions were limited, nearly the whole list being; -weak French 3 per cent, rentes, however, fit Id firm. Much irritation has been caused in official and niinlic circles here by the action of the Spanish Government in choosing the present time to eectpy St. Croix la Mineure, on the Moroctin coast, -lifty-eliiht miles south of Aeaclir. under the turns of the treaty of JStio with Morocco. he Madrid Government sent a force of Wit, soldiers from the garrison sT Iab I'almKS, Car an Islands, to occupy the Moroccan ttarort.

ARGUES FROM BRAIN ALSO Scientist Before British Association Sayg It Workings Show a Sour Possibly Independent of Life.

Special Cable to Thbi New York Times. LONDON. Sept. 1. a new statement of the relation of the soul to the senses of man has been enunciated by Prof.

MacDonald at the meeting of the British AssociaUon at Portsmouth. Prof. MacDonald's view Is regarded by physiologists as offering a great stimulus to research, and It provides for the general publio a new exposition of the theory of belief In a Divinity, oUowlng the general lines of Paley's famous argument from the watch. Prof. MacDonald began by arguing that the eye of man was as perfect an optical Instrument as could be devised and could only be made by some ex ternal agency cognizant of all the properties of light This agency, he said, had full knowledge of the part played by matter and the special arrangement of matter In reflecting, re fracting, and absorbing light.

This perfect Instrument, he added, was formed In the embryo before direct light could reach it. Starting from this study of the human eye, the professor Bhowed that similar arguments applied not less fore ibly to the brain and mind of man, and he used this analogy to help the belief that man had a soul. Man's. brain, like his eye. Prof: MacDonald sajtl, was affected by mysterious causes.

phenomena as sleep and deep anaesthe sia familiarise us with the fact that the mind is not necessarily always associated with the brain, but only when in a certain condition." It was still possi ble, he thought, that the brain was an instrument traversed, as freely as the ear by sound, by some unknown Influ ence which found resonance within It. The brain's workings and the will pow er suggested, he said, the brain was mysteriously affected by invisible: and untraceable harmonies: In this connection Prof. MacDonald said he could not avoid the use of the word soul." and argued that soul might be Independent, of life or living matter, as we know It. As In the case of the eye, it was natural to suppose, he declared, the existence of some external agent over and above natural selection, which would have done no more than assist; la the process. In a passage of great Imaginative power Prof.

MacDonald then compared the action of the brain on-the soul wHb that of the harp acted upon by what they used to call music (w pheres." HI I I III.

an apple every day, she said, what he cal.ed his magnetic treatment." yt hich consisted In passing his finger tips over her face and body, ending by clapping his hands together and blowing loudly In her ears. He then gave her an electrical massage. Volgt told Mrs. Goodwin, she alleged, that a course of treatment which would cure her would cost $16, but ho finally consented to take $10 for it. She paid him on account.

THOMPSON-STARRETT COMPANY- Building Construction Fifty-One Wall Street UNREST IN MEXICO TILL AFTER ELECTION Dr. Rowe of University of Pennsylvania Fears a Break Between de1a Barra and. Madero. BUT PATRIOTISM RULES NOW Firm Action Has Put Down Insurgency In Placea and Republic Is Quieting-Dependence on Peaceful Election.

Dr. I 8. Rowe of the University of Pennsylvania, who, has been a delegate to the Pan-American Conference at Rio Janeiro, reached New York yesterday on the steamship Morro Castle, lie spent several, months in Mexico, studying the new conditions there, and while he paid his tribute yesterday to the firmness with which President de la Barra, supported by Madero, had met the rebellious attitude of the local revolutionary leaders, he said that every patriotic Mexican will breathe more freely when the election is over. In the present anomalous political situation," he the great danger is the possibility of ji break between de la Barra and Madero. "The day I left Vera Crus the new regime had Just successfully passed through the most serious crisis since the downfall of Gen.

Diaz. The pacification of the country 'has been fraught with many serious difficulties and dangers. The disappearance of a strong, central government and the substitution therefor of a provisional and temporary authority. encouraged the unruly elements of the population to profit by the temporary relaxation of authority. Local revolutionary leaders attempted to Inaugurate a reign of terror in several sections of the republic.

Fortunately the provisional President, supported by the national leader of the revolution, has met the situation a degree of firmness which has not only relieved the uneasiness, but has created a feeling of confidence throughout the republic in the ability of the Government to maintain order and. to protect life and property. The supreme test camei when -one of the revolutionary leaders In the State of Morelos, Emillano Zapata, refused to obey the order of the Government to disband his forces. The prompt dispatch of a large force o9Government troops and the announcement by Madero that these revolutionary forces must be disbanded without delay, prevented a serious conflict which for a time seemed intminent Had the Government failed to disband this force of revolutionists tho situation throughout the republic would soon have become intolerable. The promptness with which order was restored in Morelos will serve as a lesson to revolutionary leaders throughout the country, who may be tempted to play the part of, local tyrants.

"The immediate future depends In a large measure on the continuance of close co-operation between President de la Barra and Francisco Madero. If this should continue? unbroken it Is likely that the Presidential elections in October will not only be orderly, but will also register the popular will. The great danger is the possibility of a break between the two men. With at least three and posslbiy more "candidates In the every patriotic Mexican will breathe more easily when the election is over and the new President 1 Pending the elections, business Interests throughout the republic are suffering: severely. Even those who have entire confidence In the future, of the country are unwilling to undertake any new enterprise until after the Government has shown its ability to maintain order during the elections.

Conditions at the present time are abnormal. The patriotic devotion of President de la Barra is-carrylng the country through a period more critical in many respects than the struggle for independence in 1810, or the contact for the maintenance of national supremacy brought about by French intervention in the sixties." TERRIERS GIVE ALARM. George Bowles, Theatrical Manager, and His Family Escape from Flames. Fire destroyed the greater part of the Summer home of George Bowles, general manager for Wagenhals Kemper, at Port Washington, L. early yesterday morning.

The timely warning sounded by Mr. Bowles's two bull terriers, Bumps and Bubbles, were all that saved, the occupants from perishing In the flames. Mr. Bowles occupied, with his wife and 14-year-old dauglfter, Dorothy, and Mrs. Bowles's mother, Mrs.

"At 10 o'clock. Mrs. Bowles awoke her husband, saying that slie.smelled smoke. A tour of inspection, however, disclosed no evidence of fire in the house. At 1 A.

M. the two dogs began barking and scratching and jumped on Mr. Bowles's bed. The door leading to the hall was closed, but Mr. Bowles detected the faint odor of smoke.

He rushed Into the hail. When the door swung open a volume of smoke burst into the room. The whole tower floor seemed aflame. Mrs. Bowles and her daughter dashed through the smoke and made their escape by the front stairs whhe Mr.

Bowles carried his Invalid mother-in-law after them. Then he ran to the third floor and awakened the maid, who lost no time In making her escape by the stairs. On his way downstairs, Mr. Bowles stumbled and fell, cutting 1 gash in his head. Within two minutes after all the occupants of the house.

Including Bumps and Bubbles, were safe on the lawn, the fire had crept through-the root and the front staircase-was all aflame. Some of the neighbors, among them many reached the scene soon after and toelt car of the scantily clothed occupants The Volunteer Fire Department arrived also and saved part- of the building.
