GREAT BRITAIN CAREFUL
NOT TO Offend FRANCE

London, June 14.-Great Britain, as
one Of the powers signatory to the
Madrid convention Of 1880, in answer
TO the request Of the sultan Of Morocco
to join an international conference for
the consideration Of the Moroccan
question, has announced that it's pref
erence is not to take any part in the
conference unless such action would
be satisfactory to France.
The United States has taken the
same stand, the to powers being in &C.
cord with France that such q confer
ence would not be the best way Of
promoting urgent reforms in Morocco.
Washington, June 14.-Having no
great interest in Morocco, the state de-
partment is not particularly anxious to
participate in an international confer.
ence for the consideration Of the Mo-
roccan question. However, should all
the powers signatory to the Madrid
convention Of 1880 join such q confer
ence and an invitation be extended to
the United States TO participate in its
deliberations, this government might
accept the invitation.
The position taken here, as stated in
the London dispatch, is that the pref
erence Of tho United States ia not to
take part unless such action is salts
factory to France.
So far no intimation that the United
States will be asked to join an interna-
tional conference has been received,
and all the information the state de.
partment officials have on the subject
is contained in the newspapers. This
government has no political and only
slight commercial interests in the A.
rican country.

GRAND DUKE ALEXIS
RESIGNS HIS OFFICE

Sc. Petersburg, June i6.-The SEN
sational announcement was made
shortly before midnight that Grand
Duke Alexis, the high admiral, who
Ia an uncle Of the czar, and Admiral
Allevan. head Of the Russian admiral
ty departments, had resigned.
This announcement was followed a
few minutes later by an imperial re-
script relieving the grand duke Of the
supreme direction Of the navy, which
he had held since the days Of the enc
peror's father, Alexander III, when
Russia resolved TO enter the lists as a
frat class sea power, and to build up
p great navy, the remnants Of which
were destroyed in the battle Of the Sea
Of Japan.
Although from time to time there
have been rumors that the grand duke
would retire on account Of the savage
criticisms, not to use harsher terms,
directed against the administration OF
the navy, especially in the construc
ton Of ships, the announcement Of his
resignation came ike bolt out Of the
~ as Acb khONoHSA W hAy vi
the rumors which usually give warning
Of such an act. Consequently it was
assumed that some sudden event pre-
cipitated it, and ugly stories immedi
stely came TO the surface.
Among those sojourning late in the
cafes and hotels, the editorial in tn.
Nsssa Shish yesterday, demanding al
accounting Of the popular funds sub
ribed for the rebuilding Of the navy
and declaring that great names ar
no longer guarantees" was Instant,
recalled. The words Of the rescrip
give no hint Of imperial anger, and
the real explanation probably will no
leak out for several days, but the in
slant disposition was to regard the re
tirement Of Grand Duke Alexis ant
Admiral Allevan as concession T.
pa bile opinion. following the crown
ing tragedy Of the Sea of Japan.
