TWO Nations Apart on the Moroccan
Question.

Question.
BERLIN-The French note on the
subject Of the proposed Moroccan con-
Office Friday morning. Owing to it's
great length it had to be sent by mail
to Berlin instead of by telegraph.
The foreign Office, while declining,
to discuss the points of the note in
detail, admits that it leaves the stu
Of disagreement between Germany
and France have not been removed.
1t is expected that the negotiations
will continue a long time before a
positive decision is reached.
Germany's answer to Premier Rou-
will require considerable time in or
der to meet all the points raised.
While the delay might, under ordin-
airy circumstances, be of advantage in
affording time for the conference to
decide, the German circles note with
some concern that powerful intrigues
are going on, having for their object
war between Germany and France.
Germany's intentions remain thor
oughly pacific, but government circles
here apprehehd the possibility that
these intrigues will result in inflaming
the French people against Germany
and creating a delicate and compli-
Gated situation.
The evening newspapers frankly ex-
press their disappointment at the
French note. Much has been staked
upon Prier Rouvier's ostensible wish
to come to an understanding with
Germany, but the Vossiche Zeitung,
discussing the note, says that Rouvier
is continuing NJ. Delcasse's policy
without NJ. Delcasse.
The newspapers all emphasize the
fact that the French note leaves the
differences where they were before
regarding their bearings upon the pro-
jected Moroccan conference. 1t is re-
marked that M. Rouvier has just sue
ceeded in leaving room for an accept
ance of the conference If this becomes
absolutely necessary. but as the Post
remarks, the French premier takes a
stand that look strikingly like a
polite but a shamed refusal, and the
Vossiche Zeitung agrees with the Post
in saying that his answer comes
nearer a refusal than an acceptance
of the conference.

Stories Are Exaggerated.

NOGALES, Ariz.-The stories sent
out from this place regarding the at
task by Yaqui Indians upon the Bue-
nos Ayres ranch in Sonora last Thus
day, in which over twenty Yaquis and
several settlers and their families
were said to have been slain, were
the grossest exaggerations. The only
foundation for the reports was a fight
occurring at the ranch, in which two
Indians were killed and Luis Caranza
wounded. There was no attempt at
a massacre and no troops were sent
out as reported.

tary of State. is now preparing
for the annual meeting of the
Society of the Cincinnati, of

held in Annapolis, instead of

dents Of those who fought in the

membership at present is about
so. Colonel Tilghman is vice

The Society of the Cincinnati

gregating there annually ever
since. But this year hereafter,
upon the suggestion of Col. Thigh
man, it has been decided to meet
in Annapolis. Col. Gassaway
Watkins, the father of Governor
Warfrld's mother, was the last
surviving member of the Maryland
line after the Revolution, and
until his death in 1910 he was
president of the society.
The standing executive com
mittee, which is composed of Sec.
rotary of State Tilghman and Mr..
L. Dorsey Gassaway, of Annapo-
lis, will meet here on Saturday to
complete the arrangements for
the annual meeting.
Colonel Tilghman expects to
make the coming gathering of the
members Of the society notable
one. The meeting will be held on
WashingtoD's Birthday, February
%, and Will be in the State House.
Following the meeting he society
will banquet at Carvel Hall.

WORST STORM OF WINTER
The Entire Country Storm
Swept and Great Damage
Done on Sea and Land
Frederick County Has Her
Share Of Cold, Snow and
Wind.

The country was in the grip o.
a fierce blizzard on Tuesday
night, Wednesday and Thursday
and from all points of the com
pass come reports of severe cold,
high winds and snow drifts
and consequent suffering and in
convenience.
In Baltimore there was eight
inches of snow and high winds,
coupled with intense cold. 1t was
the worst storm of the winter.
In New York similar conditions
prevailed and traffic was CON-
pletely paralyzed. Business was
at a standstill on land and con-
ditiOns were even worse on the
water. All shipping suffered and
incoming vessels report high
winds aud heavy seas.
In the north and west the
storm was most severe aud it
even reached as far south as Flor.
ida. Storm warning signals were
posted on all gulf ports.
The worst blizzard in many
years struck Frederick County
with great force aud fury Tues
day night and continued with
uninterrupted energy until yes
telday at a late hour, when the
wind died down.
On Tuesday it had been snow.
ing all day and at night about
three or four inches had fallen.
The fierce wind that arose and
continued all day Wednesday
made plaything out of this
snow, blowing it hither and
thither. Roads are badly drifted
and railroad traffic seriously in
terrupted. The cars ON the trolley
road had a terrible time to get
through.
On the rural delivery routes
throughout the county much
trouble was found and great diff
ticulty was experienced in getting
the mails through each way.
Some roads were impossible and
fields had to be used. Had the
snow been deeper, greater dam
age would have ensued.
In all parts of the State reports
show that great damage was
done by the storm which was
general. On Thursday morning
the weather here was intensely
cold.
