ANCLO-FRENCH
PEACE TREATY
All Colonial Disputes to
Be Adjusted by Conven-
tion Soon to Be Signed
MAIN POINTS SETTLED
Agreement as to Morocco
Will Strengthen the Posi-
tiOn of France in Africa

PARIS, April 5.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse had a long conference to-day
with Paul Cambon. French Embassa-
dor at London. relative to the Anglo
French colonial treaty, settling severaI
long-pending issues, principally In re-
gard to Morocco, Egypt and New
foundland. Cambon will return to
London tomorrow, and it is the ex-
pectation that the treaty will be sign
ed toward the end of the present week
The main points are settled, but there
are some details capable OF causing
delay For instance, the Newfoundland
Government does not wish the French
fishermen to retain the right or
catching their own bait off shore
However this is considered a minor
detail and not likely to affect the gen
eraI agreement. France surrenders her
sovereignty over the Newfoundland
shore, and receives an indemnity. The
latter is twofold-
First, for French individuals giving
up property along the surrendered
shore, and,
Second, for the French Governments
REIMBURSEMENT of it's sovereignty.
The reports current setting forth the
amount of the indemnity are mac
curate, as it is the present intention
to submit the amount of the indem-
nifty to The Hague tribunal.
Morocco will figure in the treaty,
and, according to the French view, will
be the most important subject.
The indications are that the treaty
will so strengthen the French position
that her North African empire will
eventually stretch westward to the At
lantic.
The Egyptian agreement does not af-
feet Great Britain's protectorate over
Egypt, being confined to the admins
tration of the Egyptian debt, Great
Britain having a larger latitude in dis
posing of the surplus without the con-
currence of France. France gets i'm
proved facilities in reaching Lake
Tchad and other points in French Cen
trail Africa. This concession is a par
tial return for the surrender of her
sovereignty over the Newfoundland
shore.

STRIKE ANNOYS
GOVERNMENT
Labor Troubles on Isthmus
of Panama Are Considered
at Length by Cabinet
TO PROTECT RAILROAD
Secretary Moody Is Instruct
ed to Order Admirals to
Land Marines if Necessary

WASHINGTON. April 5.-The labor
troubles on the Isthmus of Panama,
growing out of the strike of the en-
ployes of the Panama Railroad Com
pany, have taken a serious turn, and
the facts have been reported to the
State Department by the United States
Charge at Panama The matter was
deemed of sufficient Importance to war
rant consideration at length at the Cab
met meeting to-day, and the unani-
nous opinion was that everything pos
sible should be done to avoid an entan-
clement of the United States Govern
ment in any labor controversy. But it
also was determined that the Govern
ment would not withhold in any degree
the protection to the Panama Railroad
which it had assumed by treaty, and 1T
was directed that the railroad proerty,
rolling stock, track and terminals
should be protected by forces from the
United States warships at the isthmus,
if that became necessary.
No compulsion will be exercised
against the strikers to compel them to
return to work. If the railroad man
agement can secure sufficient force of
men to operate the road they will be
upheld in such an attempt. This will
be done with the full consent of the
Panama Government, though under
broad treaty provisions this is not alb
solutely necessary.
Secretary Moody was charged with
the duty of carrying out this decision,
and with instructing Admirals Glass
and Sigsbec as 10 the course they shall
pursue.
There is ample force on the isthmus
for any emergency.

At the Star.

The best vaudeville show tnat has
ever been given in the city is on at
the Star this week. Its prime feature
is a novelty musical turn bearing
"Bimm, Bomm, Birr" for its title, but
this is on-descriptive and musical
lovers, as well as those appreciating
the spectacular in electrical effect
should see this by all means. The APP
paratus, alone, cost $4,000 for this
turn" and 1t is worth all Of It.
The Fielding comedy four appear In
an exceedingly funny skit, and yester-
day kept the houses in an uproar.
The Marvellous Aumann has a bag
punching act that is the infinite de-
velopment of dexterity. This act was
brought direct from Chicago for the
Star. Bob Kenyon will sing in his
usual good voice MY Rose from Ten
nessee," song that has reached great
popularity.
The projectoscope pictures are new,
original and interesting.
At yesterdays performances the
house was full, and 1t is fair venture
to say they will be so all week, as the
acts are of so high an order Of merit
that they will receive the patronage
they demand.

Of the amount Of gambling INDUCED in

Not only is gambling tolegated in many
cities and towns, but it is carried on
openly. Time was when it was only al

Gambling in Portland has been car

James A. Hearne in Chicago In 1892.
and since then it has won innumerable
triumphs throughout the United States

charming comedy drama are all taken
from life and the incidents portrayed
are the homely happenings Of the peo-
pie of a small fishing village on the
coast of Maine. While the Inherent
merit Of the piece is responsible in
great part for its continued prosperity

AcTuATEp BY MALICE.

The animosity of the Oregonian Il
various sections of the state will not
be conducive to the success of the
Lewis and Clark fair, So far as different
counties making exhibits. The follow
ing editorial in the oregonian last
week. which bears the earmarks OF
Mayor Seufert of The Dalles, and evi-
IDENTIFY written by him. shows a dense
ignorance of the facts, or willful mis-
representation.
Salmon fisheries of the lower Column
bia river want longer time for catching
fish. They caught so many fish last
season that few were left for hatcn-
cries; still they are hungry for more
than the present open season brings
them.
The laws now ordain that fishing
shall cease August Is. until September
10. Lower river interests refused to
obey those laws and kept up their work
of determination in defiance of them.
But they fear that next year and there
after. the fish warden of Oregon and
the fish commissioner of Washington
may feel constrained to end the open
season August Is. IL the present man
date of the law shall continue; hence
they desire the legislature to put off
the closing day to August 20 or 25,
Then they would have sanction Of law
for what are now unlawful depreda-
tions.
The fisheries have demonstrated that
they lack wisdom to guide the salmon
industry Alright and to propose laws for
its protection. Much as they profess to
desire the ultimate security of the in
dustry. their immediate selfishness
twists their vision and they find this
years needs forgetting next years
promise. They are composed of dis
cordant elements whom mutual peal
ousy makes selfish and whom competi-
tion makes greedy. They advocate pro-
lection of the industry. Of course, but
down in their hearts they scheme to
promote their own interests first And
the dictator of those interests is imme-
diate gain.
It is a well-known fact, that there
were practically no fish caught last
year until nearly the end of the season,
owing in part, to muddy conditions of
the river, produced to a great extent
by cloudbursts in Eastern oregon, AMI
that the Oregonian even advocated an
extension of the season, in order that
the pack might come up to nearly its
normal output. 1t is possible that II
was actuated by selfish motives in tlis,
expecting in the event that the season
was extended, that the money realized
from the industries would flow into the
Golfers Of the arrogant and selfish mer-
chants of Portland. BY consulting Its
files, the editorial staff may be able to
discuss these questions with more in
telligence. But 1t is a useless waste of
energy to discuss this question with
a newspaper whose antipathy to Asto- E,
ria and its industries are so pro-
nounced.
