mons tonight was the scene of a re-
markaible demonstration based upon the
defeat of government candidate in

not failed to return conservative or un-

While somewhat desultory and un-
interesting debate was dragging on,
there was a rush of opposition members
from the lobbies, shouting with joy over
the liberal victory in Brighton where
Gerald Loder was seeking reelection on
his recent appointment as Junior lord
of the treasury, the liberal candidate
being E. Villiers. "Villiers is in!'' was
the Cry, which was received with great
cheering. Premier Balfour, who was

that explosives were being carried on
the Starin in violation of the law, and
that they found the charges true. They

to their testimony. several cases of car.

said that he saw passengers sitting on
some of the cases smoking, and when he
called the attention of an officer Of the
boat to the fact he was told that there.
was no danger in handling the cases of
cartridges in the open.
Captain McAlister, Of the John H.
Starin, testified that all explosives We're.
carried in the vessels magazine. Out

RUSSIAN OPINION OF US.
American High Life Ground of Rob-
berry"

st. Petersburg, April 5.-Queer ideas
of American life are being disseminat-
ed by American correspondents of Rus
sian papers.
A correspondent of the Journal de st.
Petersburg draws a rare picture of the
dishonesty which he says pervades the
highest circles, duplicating meh, wom-
en- and children.
He describes the precautions taken
by social leaders to prevent their guests
from being robbed by one another, and
tells of the CONSERVATION produced at
a. White house reception by a sudden
failure of the lights, the re-illumina-
tion showing that the ladies had hastily
divested themselves of their jewels and
concealed them in peculiar places, the
men holding their pocketbooks for fear
of being pounced upon and robbed by
neighbors.

GERMANY STANDS FOR
OPEN DOOR in MOROCCO
CLEARLY OUTLINES HER POL
ICY TO UNITED STATES.
VIII Not Recognize the Anglo-French
Trenty in which Great Britain Rec
ognizes the Superior Interests of
France-WiH Insist ON Maintainace
of the Status auo-would Not sanc-
tion Special sphere OF Influence.

washington, April 5.--Germany to-
day clearly outlined to the United
States, her Moroccan policy. Acting
under Instructions from Berlin, Baron
Won Speck Sternberg, the German am
bassador, called at the war department
and left with Secretary Taft a memo
randum to this effect,
Germany stands for the open door in
Morocco as in the far east and for the
preservation Of the status quo and for
the safeguarding of the commercial
and trade interests not only Of Ger
many, but of all trading nations OF the
world. e.
Secretary Taft without committing
this government on the subject, thank
ed the ambassador and promptly for
warded the memorandum to President
Roosevelt.
Germany makes no mention of France
in the memorandum nor does she re-
quest an expression of views by the
United States.
This information has been conveyed
to the United States because of the
sensational reports abroad about Ger
many's attitude.
Although France is not mentioned
in the memorandum it can be stated
that Germany regrets that she was not
officially advised OF the new position
in Morocco contemplated by Great Brit
ain and France, which was later dis
closed in the treaty signed last spring
by which the London government de-
ferred to the superior interest of France
in Morocco Germany holds that her
interests in Morocco are in every re-
spect equal to those Of Great Britain,
and the establishment by any power
there of a special sphere of influence
would be deplored in Berlin.N
Regarding the emperor's visit to Tan
gier, although it was in the line of his
cruise in the Mediterranean, the object
of his address was, it can be stated on
high authority, to impress the Moroe-
cans with the seriousness of Germany s
desire that the status quo should be
maintained and that the principle of
the "open door" laid down by Secretary
Hay with reference to China, should be
strictly adhered to in Morocco.
In diplomatic circles the significance
of Germany's frank avowal at WASH
ington of her views about Morocco is
not underestimated and the incident
has attracted all the more attention
because of it's occurrence on the day on
which the Washington government Of
ficially disclosed the initial role played
by Emperor William in the exchanges
of the powers last year regarding Chi
nese neutrality in the far eastern war.
Some diplomats believe that the object
of the German representations at this
time is to evoke from Washington a
similar avowal of adherence to the
''open door, policy in Morocco.
Although Secretary Taft was not so
informed nor does his memorandum in
dicate it, it is believed here that SIM
liar statement of Germanys view may
have been addressed also to st. Peters,
bury and Madrid.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a

arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar 10 ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.

thing else had failed. She writes:
