MAKES A STATEMENT
Deicasse Says Italy's Attitude Was
Friendly in Moroccan Trouble.

Rome, oct. 15.-In connection with
the alleged revelations regarding the
events which preceded the resignation
of the French foreign minister, NJ.
Delcasse. the following semi official
communication has been issued here:
Tho action taken by Italy at Paris.
London and Berlin i'll connection with
the Moroccan affair was absolutely
friendly and cOnciliatOry and in the in
terests of peace. The action was not
fruitless as owing to it France accept
ed the conference proposed by Ger
many, which the former originally OPP
posed. while Italy was able to induce
Germany to agree to the fundamental
conditions claimed by France as to the
substance of the question to be dis
cuSSed by the conference Foreign
Minister Tittoni communicated this to
NJ. Barrere. tn" French ambassador to
Italy, and nothing else"
1t is also understood that the Italian
government will continue to use its in

On the American Fishing
Rights Off Newfoundland
VIII Be Thoroughly Investigated
by GIoucesterites.
No infringement Of Our Rights viii Be
Tolerated For a Minute.

Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 15.-As a re-
suit of the policy recently adopted by
the New F'oundland government, to re-
strict American fishing rights on the
coast of New Foundland, Congressman
Augustus p. Gardner and Benjamin A
Smith, one of the largest vessel owners
OF this city. left. tonight, for Washing
ton to discuss the situation with Sec
rotary Of State Elihu Root.
Originally it was planned that the
collector Of the port, William II. Jor-
dan, and committee from the Board
of Trade should accompany Congress
man Gardner and Mr.. Smith. but this
project was later abandoned, inasmuch
, as 1t was felt that Messrs. Gardner and
Smith were wholly qualified to deal
with the situation.
The object Of the trip to Washington
is to secure from the head of the state
department an Interpretation OF the
treaty of 1918, in which American hsh-
ermen were guaranteed certain hshlhs
rights on the New Foundland coast A
similar trip to Washington was hlaue'
last spring, but thus far no interpreta-
ton of the treaty has been MADE py
the department of state.
The vessel owners of this port are
prepared to make a test case OF the
matter IL any Gloucester vessels are
interfered with by the New Foundland
cruiser Ffone. One of the grounds on
which the New Foundland governments
intends to restrict the American fisher
men is that New Foundland sailors are
shipped on Gloucester vessels.
In order that this cause may be ell
minated. the schooner Dauntless, Cap
tain Charles T. Young, will sail from
this port, tomorrow, with a crew of "a
men, all of whom were shipped here
and none of whom belong to New
Foundland Captain Young believes
that he cannot be interfered with by
the New F'oundland authorities.

But Il Will Be a Welcome Increase 10
Present Wages.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. 15.-It Is I'M
derstOod in manufacturing circles
here, that within "A short time the Fan
River Cotton Manufacturers AssOcia-
ton will grant an advance in wages
to the operatives, Of which there are
upwards of $4,000 employed at the
present time. No action fixing the

taken, but it is expected an official

One week ago today. the Textile
Council voted to request the restora-
ton. Oct. %. of the scale which pre-
vailed prior to the cut of IL IL per
cent, made, July ., 1904. While the
majority Of the manufacturers favor
an advance either on that date or
a week later, many think that the mills
are not yet able to pay an increase Of
Il 1-2 per cent, and advocate a half
way step, with the understanding that
no further advance will be considered,
until next spring.
A number of mills outside of Fail
River reduced wages in July of last
year. and at several Of these plants,
including the Edwards Mills Of Angus
ia. Me-, North POwnall Mills of North
Pownall, VT, and the Williamstown
Manufacturing Co. Of WilliamstoWn.
