MOROCCAN SITUATION
CORDIAL INTERVIEW BETWEEN
BRITISH MINISTER AND SULTAN.

FEZ, Morocco, Wednesday, June T.
Gerard A. Lowther, British minister to
Morocco, had an hours private audience of
the sultan today and the political situation
was fully threshed out. The cordiality of
the sherifian ruler noticeably differed from
his attitude at the official reception of the
British minister
1t is still hoped here that an agreement
will be reached directly between France
and Germany, as otherwise a long diplo-
matte struggle disadvantageous to all is
foreseen.
Opinion at Paris.
PARIS, June 9.--Germany's note to the
powers, proposing an International confer
ence on the subject of Morocco is regarded
In the highest quarters as renewing the
gravity of the situation almost to the point
OF making it menacing. France has re-
ceived a copy of the note, showing that
Germany acted openly In appealing to the
powers, Notwithstanding the official state
ments from Berlin that Morocco invites the
conference
The officials here interpret the German
note as showing that Germany is the real
upholder of the conference. The text of
the note shows that Germany relies mainly
on articles II of the treaty of Madrid,
signed July 3, 1880, in which Gen. Lucius
Fairchild signed for the United States.
Article II recites that Morocco recognizes
the most favored nation treatment in the
case of all the powers represented at the
conference. The German note holds that
this gives the powers equal rights to con-
slider the affairs of Morocco. The French
answer is as follows:
Article II refers to the preceding arti-
cles, which deal solely with the protection
of the lives and property of foreigners re-
siding in Morocco. Therefore article II
gives the powers equal treatment c1acern-
ing the protection of lives and property.
but does not warrant the German claim
that the powers agreed to exercise equal
political control of Morocco.
1t is desired that Washington and other
capitals receiving the German note observe
the limited application of article H.
A cabinet council tomorrow will consider
the note The nature of Frances official
answer is still in doubt, owing to Premier
Rouvier's desire to avoid widening the
breach between Germany and France.

Sent Significant Message to
Rojestvensky.
ITS PECULIAR WORDING

HoNoRABLY DID THEIR DUTY.
Situation in the Far East-Some Lively
Skirmishes-Tokyo Reports Two
Russian Repulses.
IT'S PECULIAR WORDING

ST. PETERSBURG, June g. 4:20 pm
Emperor Nicholas has cabled the following
message to Admiral Rojestvensky:
From my heart / thank you, and all the
officers of the squadron who have honor
ably done their duty, for your unselfish
work for Russia and for me- By the will of
the Almighty success was not destined to
crown your endeavors, but your boundless
bravery will always be a source of pride to
the country.
II wish you speedy recovery. May God
console you all.
(signeG NICHOLAS"
The peculiar wording of the message is
attracting attention. The restriction of the
emperor's thanks to those honorably doing
their duty is tanning the ugly talk regard
ing the surrender of ships and the conduct
of some of the crews.
The messages of Admiral Enquist and
Capt. Chagin of the Russian cruiser Almaz
did not contain any intimation of misbe-
havior on the part of the officers or crews.

THE NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON
Not to Visit Massachusetts, Waters for
Target Practice.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
COTTAGE CITY, Mass, June 9.-Private
advices received from Washington state
that the North Atlantic squadron will not
visit these waters for target practice dur
Ing the coming season. as has been the
custom for the past three years
Last winter petitions were circulated and
signed by those interested in the fishing
industry requesting the Secretary of the
Navy to abolish target practice in Mar
tha's Vineyard waters during the fishin,,
season, on the grounds that it frightens
the fish away and thus causes the petition
ers to suffer financially.
These petitions have evidently been
needed by Secretary Moody who will not
order the squadron here until the middle
of November. when the season for fishing
is practically over.
