GERMANY WINS POINT
FRANCE AGREES TO MOROCCAN
CONFERENCE UNDER GER.
TAIN CONDITIONS.

Berlin, June 19.-Premier Rouvier
has informed Prince Radolin, the Ger.
man ambassador at Paris, that France
is inclined to accept the invitation to
take part in the proposed conference
on Morocco provided the German and
French governments can reach a mu-
tually satisfactory agreement as to
the precise points to be considered by
the conferees. The conviction exists
at the foreign Office that France and
Germany will be able to agree on this
programme. Although earnest differ.
ences of view are yet to be reconciled
the authoritative judgment of the for
eign office is that they will all be over
come by negotiation. M. Rouvier has
thus yielded to Prince Won Buelow on
two essential points On which M. Del.
casse, the former foreign minister, had
refused the invitation to take part in a
Morocco conference. M. Rouvier first
consented to reopen the question and
then agreed to take part in the confer.
ence provided the protocol is in con.
formity with French interests. This
will be accepted by Germany, which
will limit the deliberations of the con
ference.
Great Britain, supporting France,
had also refused to join the proposed
conference, but Foreign Secretary
1~4ansdowne has, it is understood, said
that if France accepted Great Britain
would also accept.
A great diplomatic battle is in prog.
ress with the probabilities leaning to.
ward German success.

States First Woman Lawyer.

Miss Helen N. Hamilton, daughter
of Major ]. G. Hamilton, enjoys the
distinction of being the first woman
to be admitted as an attorney in this
state. Miss Hamilton is among the
graduates from the college of law de-
partment of the University of North
Dakota, who received diplomas last
week, having successfully passed the
bar examination insisted on by the
supreme courts for the pupils of the
law school. Heretofore the issuance
of diplomas by the school has carried
with it admission to the bar, without
an examination. Under a new law en-
acted at the last session of the legls'
lature the students are required to
take the state examination, and the
efficiency Of the school is shown by the
fact that each of the twenty-five VINO
took the examination passed. MISS
Hamilton has been deputy federal
court clerk for the past eight years.
having been appointed to that position
by the late Judge Thomas, and has
charge of the court work in Grand
Forks.

PosTPoMEs HIS DEPARTURE.
President Anxious to Aid in Further.
ing Peace Negotiations.

Washington, June 19.-While the
progress of the preliminary negotia-
tions for peace between the Far East
this stage Of the proceedings it is
known that President Roosevelt hopes
they practically may be concluded be-
fore he shall go to Oyster Bay for the
summer. His desire to facilitate in
every possible way the negotiations in
duced him to reconsider his original
plan to 90 to Oyster Bay this week.
After his visit to Worcester and Will
JAMESTOWN, Mass. where he will go to
attend the commencement exercises of
Clark university and Williams college.
he will return to Washington, arriving
here next Friday morning. 1t is ex-
pected that if nothing unforeseen shall
have occurred in the meantime some
definite announcement of the status of
the negotiations may be made soon
after his return. There is a POSSIBLE
ity even that the selection of the pleni-
potentiaries of both Russia and Japan
may be announced before the presi-
dent leaves for Massachusetts.
Would Avert General Engagement.
1t is the hope here that the arrange
ments for the conference may pro-
coed with such facility as to avert a
general engagement in Manchuria be-
tween the forces of Generals Linevitch
and Oyama. The precipitation of a
great battle at the present stage of the
peace negotiations would be regarded
here as a most unfortunate error of
judgment-an error which might i'm
peril seriously the negotiations for the
conference. Indeed, it is believed
in some Gearters that whatever might
be the result Of such a conflict it would
arouse so much bitterness that the
negotiations, the status of which is
now so favorable, would collapse.
1t can be said that President Roose-
welt is giving no heed to irritating per-
sonal references to him which have
appeared in a part of the Russian
press. His conduct of the peace nego-
tiations thus far has been as nearly
directly as possible with the emperors
of the belligerent powers and the ar
rangements concluded represent their
personal views as well as his own.

Death in the Wreck.

Baltimore. June 19.-The death roll
of the disaster on the Western Mary
land railway now foots up twenty-five
and this number Is likely to be in.
creased from the list of those seri-
ously mangled. All the dead were EN-.
ployes of the railroad and were return
ing to their homes in the small towns
along the railway. The train carried a
large number of passengers, all the
coaches being filled. AS many of the
workmen as could do so went into the
baggage car, the remainder of the
gang of thirty-ive finding places on
the platform.
In the neighborhood of Patapsco
station the road has many curves and
that just west of the bridge crossing
the Patapsco river is a sharp one. An
extra freight made up of heavy coal
and provision cars was running east.
It should have taken a siding to allow
the passenger to pass. Why the or
QeTS were Will never De
known. for those who should have
seen that they were obeyed are dead.
The passenger train was running at
a speed Of thirty miles an hour and the
freight was making good time. Just
west OF the bridge they came together
with terrific force, the three engines
being piled on one another. The fear:
full impact drove the passenger tender
into the baggage car and demolished
it and the mail car. Practically every
mar in the baggage car was killed
but those on the platform escaped
death by being hurled along both sides
of the track. Five fremen, three en-
gineers and a freight conductor are
among the dead.

Strike OFF.

SshbNS vi"
Chicago, June 19.-There are indi-
cations that the Transfers strike will
come to an end before the close of
this week. The announcement is made
from a source high in the counsels of
the union that the strikers will be
allowed to decide for themselves
whether the strike shall be called off
without conditions or allowed to con-
tinue.
One of the strongest arguments in
favor Of the referendum. it is argued,
is the fact that the peace terms of the
employers contain demands diamet-
rically opposed to the principles of
the teamsters' organization and the
drivers would rather call off the strike
than agree to them.
