Trepoff May Be Promoted to Glory.
ST. Petersburg, July 13.-The resig-
nation of NJ. Bouligan as minister of
the interior is expected daily. Gener
al Trepoff, assistant minister of the
interior, will possibly be his success

their warnings against Trepoff with
ominous persistence. The General is
constantly receiving letters signed
by the executive committee of the
fighting organization informing him
that his hour has come They say:
your own room. You will die in bed )"
Moreover, Trepoff has known enough
of the desperateness of the organiza-
ton to firmly believe that the ter
rorists are able to execute their
threats. He makes no concealment
of the fact that he expects to be kill
ed, but his nerve is unshaken. 4

he says. Privately, he takes a gloomy
view of the future of the autocracy
in which he believes He is confident
that if the government gave him un-
trammeled power he could restore
the old status in year, but at pres
ent the vacillating policy he thinks
will end only in ruin.

Paris, June 2O.-An international
conference for the consideration OF the
affairs of Morocco is now practically
assured as the result OF the conversa-
ton between Premier Rouvier and
Prince Radolin, the German ambas-
sador, and attention Is now directed
so defining the scope OF the confer
pnce. Details are being rapidly ar
ranged and the officials expect to be
able to announce the plans for the
conference in the course OF o u or
i've days. This result, after the Sc
we're strain which tested the diplomat
ic resources Of both governments, has
the effect of relieving the tension, the
officials of the foreign office and the
diplomats of the German embassy
agreeing that an amicable adjustment
Is near at hand.
Although the acceptance Of the con-
ference gives a certain measure or
success to German diplomacy, yet M.
Rouvier energies from the controversy
with the advantage OF having brought
Germany to exactly define the scope
of the conference and so to rid 1t or
the objection to being a menace to
French interests.
With both governments favorable
so the sovereignty of Morocco and to
her political status quo 1t remains for
The conference to adjust the equality
of commercial rights, as Germany de-
sires this assurance from an interna-
tional conference instead of through
the operations of the Anglo-French
agreement. Therefore the conference
is not likely to consider changes in
ihe political status of Morocco, but
rather international reforms and com
mercial privileges.
