POWERS MAY NOT AGREE
France Has Not Accepted the Confer
ence Suggestion.

Paris. June 17-EffOrts TO secure
diplomatic adjustment OF the Fran
co-German controversy relative to
Morocco remain without definite re-
suits and negotiations. while not sus.
pended, have made practically no
progress.
France has not given her final re-
Spouse to Germany's movement for
an international conference and Off
Gals do net confirm the German press
reports that France has definitely re-
jected the proposals fer the confer
ence. For the present Premier Rou.
vier is turning his efforts towards
learning what Germany desires to ac-
complish by the conference. as it is
the view of official quarters that some
of the chief objections to the confer
ence may be removed by having the
plans and purposes exactly defined.
In the meantime sentiment In high
quarters remains most solicitous cen
cerning the outcome Of negotiations.
and sinister reports are circulated
concerning the possibilities resulting
from a complete failure to reach
d .plomatic adjustment
This mornings newspapers con-
tinue to counsel calmness regarding
the Moroccan difficulty and seine OF
them even suggest the possibility that
after all France may agree tc. the con
ference demanded by the sultan OF
Morocco under Germany's supervis-
ion.
The Figaro asks why France should
not accept a conference whose re-
suits would be to decide whether the
powers of the Madrid con-
gress were bound by their dectara-
items.
The Echo de Paris refers to the
possibility Of first regulating the
Franco-GermaE interests and agree
ing to an international conference

forward to completion at as early a
date as practicable.

fore beginning operations. and now
that County Judge Kerwin has set
aside the sum of $4,000 for this pur-
pose the work will no longer be de-
layed. While this amount is felt by
the city officials to be inadequate, It
will assist very materially in getting
the work under way. 1t is said that
fully twice this amount is needed.
