was entitled to a preferred podtlon In
Morocco. That Is the main question about
to b«« eonxldcrcd. for the questions of
contraband and customs are larg. ly detail.
If the special position of France is recog-
nized, then the coming conference will
turn over to France the organization of
the police and the military and the sur-
vt-lllance of the contraband. In short, all
of the i|u< 'Hons involved fctam on the
main qtKstlou as to whether the special
ponltlon of France Is to bu clearly recog-
nised.
By tho foregoing agreements Germany
hit* recognized the need of some outside
supervision over Morocco. It remains £o
decide who will exercise this supervision.
Oerrgany will doubtless contend for In-
ternational supervision. In which she and
nil other powers whall take equal part,
something like the International adminis-
tration or Macedonia and <"retc.
On the other hand, France consistently
uphold* her special and paramount rljcht,
based on geographical position, to safo-
Kuard the future of Morocco, acting thus
as the virtual trustee for the nations.
The Issues before the conference ar«,
therefore, comparatively simple. First,
shall France b«> charged with the neces-
sary reforms for Morocco? Second, the
detailed consideration of these various re-
forms relating to flnnnccd, police, customs
«nd contraband.
♦ ♦♦
History of the Trouble.
Twelve powers, including the United
States, are reprcsnted at Algozlras, Spain,
Tuesday, when tho International confer-
ence meets to effect an arrangement
of tho menacing Moroccan ' question.
Twenty-four delegates, represntleng Amer-
ica. England, France, Germany, Russia,
Austria. Italy, Spain. Portugal, Holland,
l.tiglmn and Denmark, will attempt to
end the uncertainty that for over a year
lias caused war clouds to dlsturo tho
peace of Europe.
The question, however, is one that di-
rectly affects France and Germany.
France simply desires a free hand In tho
pacification of Morocco. Germany favors
the Idea of International control by a
special commission, fearing that a con-
trol vested solely In France would bo
Inimical to her material Interests.
The trouble htoso In 1K82. when a revolt
against the sultan in Morocco caused a
general disturbance affecting the com-
merce of various nations. Franco was
most directly Interested, for the reason
that her adjoining colony of Algeria
might become Involved, chiefly for the
reason of religious affinity with Morocco.
With domination of Algeria, Tnnik and
other North Africa regions, Fra£e Is
considered a Mohammedan power, and
as such entitled to certain rights when
religious question* arise.
FRENCH ARRANGEMENT.
The French government finally arrang-
ed with tho sultan of Morocco for the
appointment of a Frenchman as finan-
cial adviser, with agents to undertake
the control of the customs on behalf
of the French banks, which had advanced
a loan of 110,Ow,000 to the sultan. It
nlso was arranged that Algerian French
police should be introduced Into dangler,
where life and property had become in-
secure.
At the same time Frnncc reached a
historic agreement with England on tho
Moroccan question. This convention was
cigu. <1 April N. i'joj. It declared that both
nations had no Intention of altering tho
political status in Morocco; that they
stood for the open door as to commerce;
that they simply desired economic, finan-
cial and other reforms. It also was ar-
ranged that the passage of the straits
of Gibraltar should be free and unim-
paired, and that the fortification of cer-
tain dlstrlctH should not be undertaken.
In the following October France and
Spain also came to an agreement on the
Moroccan question. The Spanish spheres
of Influence were modified, and part of
the North African C'last was neutralized.
Spain nlso giving adhesion to the Anglo-
French agreement.
BERI,IN NOT PLEASED.
Theso arrangements, it appears did not
prove acceptable nt Berlin. Tho kaiser Is
alleged to have been chagrined that he
was not consulted, declaring that the
position of Germany in Europe was of
such preponderance that matters affect-
ing other nations and a country so near
ns Morocco should not thus have been
tr tiled without at least a notification to
the German chancellery that the negotia-
tions were pending.
Then in the spring of 100S the German
emperor decided upon a trip to the Medl-
tf rranean. When the announcement of
the trip was made the powers simply
believed that It was merely a voyage for
his health taken In his palatial yacht.
There was a rude awakening, however,
for Europe on the morning of April 1 last.
The newspapers of that date had an as-
tonishing story to tell of events of the
previous day at Tangier. It appears the
emperor had landed there and had been
MANY CONSUMPTIVES HELPED.
State hospital in Adirondack! Shows Encour*
aging Figures—105 Patients Discharged.
Tlv trustees of the New York
State Hospital for Incipient Pul-
monary Tuberculosis in the Adiron-
dacks have issued their completed
statistics for the first year, which is
as follows: There were admitted
207 patients, more than half of
whom were inHpients. There were
no deaths. Of the 105 patients dis-
charged, fifty-two were apparently
recovered. Twenty-six arrested cases
are reported. Sixteen improved,
while eleven left without any im-
provement. The treatment consists
mainly of outdoor air, wholesome
food and rest. Patients have three
full meals and two or three lun-
cheons a day, and 90 of the 105
gained an average of 10.57 pounds
each. This is certainly most en-
couraging and shows that incipient
consumptives at least can be cured.
There is another treatment perhaps
almost as good. Stay home, use
cold baths in the morning, get as
much outdoor exercise as possible,
a generous diet and the continuous
use of Scott's Emulsion will doubt-
less check the progress of the dis-
ease and may permanently cure. At
any rate it is easy to try it.

most cordially received by representatives
of the sultan. Later developments showed
that tho landing and the meeting had
been prearranged. But it was the kaiser's
speech to the Moorish officials that
caused the International commotion.
THE KAISER'S DECLARATION.
As reported in the London Times, Wil-
liam II declared himself to this effect:
"That he had come expressly to Tangier
to assert that he would maintain the ab-
solute equality of German economic and
commercial rights in Morocco, and that
he would not allow any power to obtain
preferential advantages. The sultan, he
said, was the free sovereign of a free
country, and Germany would insist on al-
ways carrying on her affairs direct with
him, and never would allow any power to
act as an Intermediary.
"Furthjrniore, the present was an unde-
sirable time to introduce reforms on Euro-
pean lines, and that all reforms should be
founded on Mohammedan laws and tradi-
tions. What Morocco required, he added,
was only peace and quiet, and he would
find means later on of making his opin-
ions known on the questions of detail.
"Finally the emperor declared that he
had made these views quite clear ill a/
conversation with the French charge d'af-
faires at Tangier."
EUROPE ASTONISHED.
Astonishment seized Europo. Rage and
resentment prevailed in France, and the
press of the cilvllzed world began discuss-
ing the speeeh. The sober view at the
timo appeared to be that the German
ruler had seized a favorable opportunity'
to read France.a lesson for leaving Ger-
many out of consideration in the Franco-
JSrltlsh understanding regarding Morocco,
with a view possibly of compelling the
French republic to make a permanent re-
nunciation of her aspirations with regard
to Metz and Alsace-Lorraine.
In France fhe onus of the affair fell
upon M. Delcasse, who then was minister
of foreign affairs. In a speech in the
chamber April " Delcasse sold:
"We seek to make the Moroccan author-
ities understand the practical advantages
of having the nominal, precarious author-
ity of the sultan fortified and extended
so that the condition of the population
may be ameliorated. We put this before
them mildly as friends, and will continue
our task with "the tranquillity of people
who are wronging no one. and who con-
template nothing wrong to the interests
of any one." He added that the French
policy with regard to Morocco had long
been known, and that now hat policy
had been ci.nsecrtaed by certain interna-
tional agreements.
CONFERENCE ARRANGED.
But the kaiser was not to be put off.
Ills ambassador. Prince Radolin, con-
tinued to make vigorous protest at Paris
against the Moroccan compacts; and con-
ditions approached a bellicose phase. The
unreadiness for war f the republic forced
the hand of fhe government; and Del-
casse, whose policy had brought into ex-
istence the treaties that had exasperated
the German emperor, was forced to re-
sign.
Premier Rouvier speedily arranged for a
conference of the powers on the Moroccan
Issue, where the whole question should
Ik? taken up anew; and Germany ap-
peared to be placated.
AMERICA'S POSITION
On the Moroccan Question Out-
lined by Secretary Root.
(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON, January 16.—What
part will be played by the Wash-
ington government in the Moroccan con-
ference now convening at Algeziras is
clearly set forth in the instructions pre-
pared by Secretary Root for the Amer-
ican delegates.
At the outset the secretary announces
that tho participation of the United
States In this conference is based exclu-
sively upon its treaty rights with Mo-
rocco, an arrangement which is now pro-
posed by the sultan, who extended In-
ventions to the United States and other
powers signatory to the treaty of 1880
to Join in a conference with reference to
a measure of suitable reforms which the
sultan has decided to introduce in his
empire.
By the treaty of 1880 it is pointed out
that this government is pledged the right
of protection of a certain class of native
Moors. Further than this the treaty
rights of this government, It is declared,
are confined to an equal share In what-
ever privileges of commerce and protec-
tion, or residence may be enjoyed by
other foreigners.
Organization by way of an international
agreement of the police outside the border
region is the question of first importance
to be discussed at the conference, and on
this question the instructions are clear
and direct.
Tho American delegates will endeavor
to obtain such advantages for American
commerce, protection for life and prop-
erty, and such equality of trade rights as
will effectively remove the barriers to
foreign trade that have hitherto existed,
and make the door to the commerce of
Morocco worth the opening.
They will Impress upon their conferees
the fact that while the Washington gov-
ernment gives hearty indorsement to tho
principle of the open door, Its interest
does not stop there.
Tho government desires not only that
the doors shall l/o opened to the world's
trade, but that it shall be utilized in a
way that shall prove beneficial alike to
Morocco and to tho treaty powers.
The American delegates will favo* the
betterment of religious and class condi-
tions In Morocco. Propositions looking to
the benefit and betterment of the Moroc-
can people calculated to enable them to
participate in and derive benefits from
the world's trade will receive the favor-
ablo consideration of the American dele-
gates.
Treatment of the Jews in Morocco is
tho subject of a special and supplement-
ary letter of Instructions to the delegates.
In this letter the secretary calls attention
to the numerous and harsh discrimina-
tions imposed in Morocco against the
Jews. The American delegates are In-
structed to devote their best efforts to
obtain the removal of such discrimination.
On the question of financial reform,
the instructions to the American dele-
gates are confined to the general sug-
gestion that the open-door policy will
prove a safeguard in the consideration of
this question, which carries with it no
special proposition for the establishment
of a predominant foreign influence.
The American delegates are Instructed
to heartily support the fourth subject of
the program, which has for its object the
prevention of private monopoly of the
public services by letting them out or di-
verting them In some other manner
which might prove Injurious to the rights
of the treaty powers as a whole
As the representatives of the Washing-
ton government at the conference the del-
egates are Instructed to stand at all
times for the square deal, not only for
Morocco, but for all the interested pow-
ers. . rid they will make It clear that thin
government in consenting to enter the
conference confidently expects fair pla.y
for all. In the event that a treaty is
agaiiu-t the American interests, the dele-
gates will subscribe to it a referendum,
leaving the question of the approval of
their acts to the subsequent consideration
on the department of state, and, if the
department's approval should be given,
leaving the resulting treaty to be passed
upon by the American senate before Its
final ratification.

MONEY WANTED
For the Completion of River and
Harbor Improvements.
GOVERNMENT IS URGED
To Finish the Projects Already
Under Way by the Rivers
and Harbors Congress.
(Houston Post Washington Bureau.')
WASHINGTON, January 16.—The Tex-
as delegates to the river and harbor con-
vention largely dominated that meeting
in its deliberations last night and today.
The resolutions adopted, with some com-
paratively unimportant changes, were
framed by Representative Burgess, the
Texas member of the committee on reso-
lutions.
During the sessions of the committee
Mr. Burgess insisted on that paragraph of
the resolutions favoring annual appro-
priations in the sum of $50,000,000 for
river and harbor work, and he was also
the chief opponent of a proposal which
was debated far into last night to recom-
mend the Issuance of $300,000,000 in bonds
in order to furnish cash for such work.
His opposition prevailed, and no mention
of a bond issue was made in the resolu-
tions.
(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON, January 16.—The Na-
tional rivers and harbors conference con-
vened today and, after adopting the roll
call on organization and the election of
officers, adopted resolutions urging the
completion of river and harbor improve-
ments already begun.
The following officers were elected:
President, Harvey D. Goulder, Cleveland,
Ohio; one vice president from each State,
to be named by the delegations; secre-
tary, Colonel William H. Love, Balti-
more, Md.; treasurer, E. R. Shaswood of
Philadelphia; executive committee. Rep-
resentative J. R. Raiidell, Louisiana,
chairman; William H. Lincoln, Boston;
Robert H. Ramsey, Baltimore; E. J.
Hale, Fayetteville, N. C.; M. J. Sanders,
New Orleans; S. W. S. Duncan, Dallas,
Texas; John A. Fox, Blytheville, Ark,;
W. P. Keunett, St. Louis; Albert Bet-
tinger, Cincinnati; F. B. Rogers, Pitts-
burg; Henry T. Clark, Omaha; Ha^'ey
D. Goulder, Cleveland; Captain W. J.
Crowley, Detroit; John W. Ferriss, San
Francisco; A. H. Devers, Portland, Ore.,
with J. F. Ellison as secretary, but not
a member of the executive committee.
This committee is charged with the
duty of actively prosecuting the work of
securing regular and increasing appro-
priations for the improvements of rivers
and harbors of the entire country, and
to take such steps and use such means as
will tend to mold public sentiment in
favor thereof.
President Goulder upon taking the
chair said the rivers and harbors bill
should receive the same consideration
that any of the other appropriation bills
receive. It the government has not money
for this work, he said, they should
raise it.
He thought the government could get
the money if needed, although he did
not favor issuing bonds for the purposo.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That this congress, recog-
nizing, appreciating and commend-
ing the Invaluable work of the rivers
and harbors committee of the house
of representatives and of the commit-
tee on commerce of the United States,
and the engineer corps of the army,
deeply regrets the limitations result-
ing in appropriations so small as to
seriously embarrass and defeat the/
proper development of their labors.
Resolved, That the National govern-
ment having assumed the improve-
ment and control of rivers, harbors
and waterways of the country, has
unequivocally bound itself to dis-
charge these obligations promptly, by
sound business methods, and instead
of appropriating for the purpose at
uncertain intervals of two or three
years, should put the rivers and har-
bors bill on a par with great appro-
priation bills by annual appropriations
and direct all such work economically
and continuously without the waste
incident to intermitteat effort.
Resolved, That in view of the large
number of projects for the improve-
ment of our harbors, rivers, water-
ways and canals which have been ap-
proved by the engineers and the com-
mittee, requiring the expenditure of
large sums of money, we not only
urge, but recommend that an appro- .
prialion of not less than $5,000,000, con- '
fined to such works of improvement,
and until the accumulation has been
cleared it is due to the country that
congress take whatever steps may be
required to get the sums to econom-
ically and prudently complete the ac-
cumulated work approved, adopted
and recommended by the constituted
authorities and now delayed only by
lack of available funds.
Resolved, That the executive com-
mittee appointed be and is hereby di-
rected to use all proper means to fur-
ther the purpose of these resolutions,
actively and in such manner as will as-
sure the completion of these work.?
of National developments.

MANY ARRESTS
Of Revolutionary Leaders by Offi-
cials at St. Petersburg.
IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS
Captured and Reforms in Army
and Navy Begun—Agrarian
Disorders Serious.
(Associated Press Report.)
ST. PETERSBURG, January 16.—All
the members of the workmen's council,
numbering twenty-two persons, were ar-
rested during the night. The police seized
many revolutionary documents and a
mass of correspondence. The government
officials consider that the future of tho
revolutionists will be hampered by the
capture of the members of the council
and the revolutionary documents.
The police also discovered the head-
quarters of that from which the propa-
ganda in the army and the navy has been
conducted and seized important docu-
meUts, including a cipher list, through
which is obtained the ramifications of a
wida organization. Two girls who were
In charge of headquarters and a score of
soldiers and sailors have been arrested.
Realizing that reforms in the army and
navy must come from above, the coun-
cil of national defense has entered Into
a thorough house cleaning, cashiering and
relieving by wholesale officers who
showed incompetence or a culpability in
the recent troubles.
Seven officers of the mutinous Reste-
noff grenadiers of Moscow were dropped
recently, and it is said that seventy of-
ficers of the Black Sua fleet will be tried
by court martial.
The Agrarian disorders, which broke out
in the outskirts of St. Petersburg, have
assumed an ugly phase. The peasants
have sacked the estate of the duke of
(.fecklenberg-Stretch, the Prince Korsikoff
and have burned the buildings of an es-
tate in the district of Tsarkoe-Selo, al-
most in sight of the emperor's palace.
The terrorist organization is including
In its death Toll, not only officials, but
also leaders of the conservative organs.
A dispatch from Middle Russia says that
President Kostoff of the League of Ban-
ner Bearers, formed to defend the aris-
tocracy, has been murdered at his resi-
dence.

INSURGENTS REFUSE

itv of the Filipinos and the frequent
"banquetta." However, he said, time for
full hearings was had.
The vote on the Fordney amendment
"was understood to embrace the full
strength of the opposition to the bill. On
a rising vote sixty-six members voted for
the amendment and 126 against it.
An amendment levying a duty of 25 per
cent of the Dingley tariff on rice from
the Philippines was offered by Mr. Pujo
(Louisiana) and accepted by Mr. Payne.
Before this amendment was voted on a
substitute was offered by Mr. Parker
applying the 25 per cent rate to all ar-
ticles from the Philippines, except hemp,
already on the free list.
The vote taken on Mr. Pujo's amend-
ment resulted In sixty-four affirmatives
and fifty negative votes, the amendment
being adopted. Mr. Parker's amendment
was defeated.
An amendment by Mr. Slayden (Texas)
was ruled out of order, because he de-
clared that by the bill the United States
did not intend to incorporate the inhab-
itants of the Philippines into citizenship
of the United States nor to retain the
islands permanently, but that it is our
intention to establish a suitable govern-
ment there, then prepare those people
for independence.
The minority leader. Mr. Williams, no-
ticing "a lucid interval on the part of
the administration and the power in
party." offered an amendment putting
sugar and tobacco from the Philippines
on the free list. He twitted the repub-
lican opponents of the bill with having
weakness, because they had just refused
to support Mr. McCail's amendment to
"cut loose" from the Philippines.
Mi-. Payne answered Mr. Williams, but
declareil his help was not needed to de-
feat the bill.
Champ Clark declared he had a most
pertinent question to ask. "Does the gen-
tleman think he can pass this bill with-
out our help?"
"I consider that question very Imper-
tinent," was Mr. Payne's answer, much
to the amusement of the democratic side.
The Williams amendment was defeated,
the house dividing on party lines, 68 to
Mr. Mann (111.) secured the adoption of
an amendment providing that tariff and
internal revenue collections shall go
directly into the Philippine treasury only
until April 11, 1909.
An amendinent cutting off $2.50 a ton
of the differential on refined sugar and
leaving $2.SO of the differential was of-
fered by Mr. Clark (Mo.).
Mr. Payne made a point of order against
the amendment.
Mr. Clark said here was an opportunity
for all those republicans who had de-
nounced the "sugar trust" to back up
their* words. "If you vote against this
amendment," he continued, "forever and'
eternally hold your peace about the ex-
tortions of the sugar trust."
The amendment will reduce the differ-
ential yearly to the total of $6,950,950.
Mr. Williams (Miss.) iyged the repub-
licans to follow the precedent rpade on
the Cuban reciprocity bill when the house
voted to lift the whole differential on re-
fined sugar.
The differential fight was reviewed by
Mr. Payne with the conclusion that the
republicans who voted with the dem-
ocrats at that time were "stampeded."
Addressing himself to his republican
colleagues Mr. Payne declared:
"You may follow him (Mr. Wliliams) to
your political graves. There is no law
to prevent it."
In ruling Mr. Olmstead cited many
precedents to sustain his position that
the amendment was not in order.
Mr. Clark appealed from the 'decision of
the chair and on a raising vote the de-
cision was sustained 220 to 120, not a re-
publican voted with the democrats.
Applause followed the vote when Mr.
Williams exclaimed;
"Having succeeded in reuniting the re-
publicans (long republican applause),
which is always the result of an attack
on the sugar trust (prolonged democratic
applause), I will now offer another
amendment.
Mr. Williams gave way to Mr. Sulli-
van (Massachusetts), who vainly sought
to amend the bill so that articles manu-
factured, or yet to be manufactured,
might be reshipped between the Philip-
pines, the United States and "its terri-
torial possessions."
The committee of the wholtr ttrn rose
and the bill was reported to the house.
The democratic sub-bill, providing for
immediate free trade with the Philippines,
was offered after the amendment to the
bill had been agreed to in the house.
Mr. Williams was given three minutes
to explain the sub-bill, the time he asked,
after which upon his demand a roll call
was secured on the sub-bill.
T^ie democratic sub-bill was defeated, I
231 to 106, Messrs. Clark and Lamar of
Florida wer the only democrats to vote
against the aub-bill.
A roll call on the passage of the bill
was then demanded by Mr. Mondell. The
roll call on this resulted in 258 yeas and
71 nays, with seven answering present.
The house adjourned at 6:20 o'clock.
