tone adopted by Germany and the en-
tire absence of menace appear to ere
ate most favorable impression.
Reports from foreign capitals to the
effect that France recognizes Ger
manys influence i'll Persia as compen-
sation for the remuneration of this
country's claims in Morocco some
what annoyed French officials, who in
strenuous terms authoritatively deny
such an understanding.
In German quarters it is also stated
that Persia has not figured in any way
i'll the note. The German view of the
Persian rumor is as a diplomatic ruse
to excite Russia against Germany.

France LikIy to Retreat in Moroccan
Difficulty.

Difficulty.
Paris, June 28.-Germany's reply to
the French note on the subject of Mo
rocco was presented during a confer
ence between Prince Randolin, the
German ambassador, and Premier
RouVier at the foreign office yester-
day. While most friendly in form and
entirely lacking any perematOry note,
Cermany's response none the less
maintains the position that the Moroc-
can question must be regulated by a
conference Of the powers without any
agreement in advance limiting the
scope of such conference.
Prince Randolin remained after the
presentation Of the note and in a
lengthy conversation Germanys de-
sire for the amicable adjustment of
the difficulty was further expressed.
Premier Rougier informed Prince Ra-
dolin that no decision would be taken
until the German note had submitted
to the council of ministers at the next
regular meeting Friday. It is the
general expectation that an agreement
will be reached on the basis of con-
ference.
Tension in official quarters was no
tabIy diminished and this is explain
able only on the theory that a confer
erce will be accepted, as Germany's
response does not make any notable
concession. However, the agreeable

Railway Rate Legislation Assured

The demand for railway rate leg
islation is increasing, and it is not
confined to any section or party.
The Senate of the State of Missouri,
which is democratic by more than
two-thirds majority, adopted a reso-
luton calling upon Missouri's dele
CATION in congress to support the
presidents proposed railway legis-
lation.
The good seed sown by the demo-
Gratis in 1896 grew all right, and
the peoples harvest time is near at
hand. If the present congress does
not remedy the evil, it will show
the people who their enemies are
and that will solve the problem.
In 1895 the democratic state COM
mittee made a special campaign
against Hepburn in the Sth dis
trict and came within a few votes of
defeating him. They did this be-
cause they believed that Hepburn
misrepresented the people Of Iowa,
and the farmers of the 9Th district,
who voted for Hepburn then are
calling him traitor now. The
president burned a hole in Pete
Hepburn's mask big enough fol
all men to look through and see
him as he really is.

FIVE DAYS OF HARD BATTLE
Engagement on tho Hun Was Fight o
the Far East War.

London, Feb. 2.-That the recon
noissance in force" made by the Rus
slams from Jan. % to Jan. 90, with
Sandepas rs the pivotal spot, was in
reality battle of enormous dimen-
aions, in which practically the entire
Russian and Japanese forces We're in
volved, is asserted i'll dispatch from
Toxic printed by the Daily Telegraph.
Hitherto the highest estimate of losses
and this from japanese sources
has been 10000 Russians and 5000
japanese. The latest dispatch es-
Inmates the Russian casualties between
$4,000 and $4,000, and those Of the
japanese at 1000.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 2.-From the re-
ports of the general staff it is not clear
yet whether the fighting on the Hun
river is ended. The Russians continue
the bombardment of Sandepas. and
apparently strong force of Russians
is between Sandepas and Shaksepu to
check the japanese, who seem to be
trying to use theirformerturningm move
ment across the Hun river A dispatch
dated Russian Headquarters, Huan
Mountain, Feb L. gives an idea that
the recent battle was one of the great
est in the war. 1t says:
1.-The five days combat that will go
into history as the battle of the Hun riv-
err was fought out on seemingly I'M
ending plain which is broken only by
the southern mountains around Yen
tai. Exposed to the intense
cold of NIanchurian winter the
mounds of earth Japanese entrench-
mentsl had become like granite, and
as impenetrable as the steel sides of
modern battleship.
For five days Russian soldiers
hurled themselves against the de-
lenses and field artillery pounded them
Until the frosty air reverberated with
the thunder of cannon, the din of
bursting shells and the rattle of mus.
kerry; but neither steel pointed shell
nor nickel bullets awaited against the
frozen earthworks. The gunners act
ually wept with despair at the impo-
tence of the attack. Every
thing that could be done was done,
but man was powerless in the face of
nature, which heaped tortures upon
the troops and defeated the well
thought out plan of the commander"
