PARIS. June 1o.-The truce OF warning
political factions that had been declared
in honor Of the advent Of the King Of
Spain, came to a conclusion with his de-
parture. It was on the very morrow Of
his leaving. at the, first session OF the
Council 6f Ministers, that sharp crisis
arose and ended forthwith in the resgna-
ton OF N. Delcasse. Il
The cause Of the resignad ton Of the Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs at this particular
moment is to be found in the fact that he
was not in accord with his colleagues in
the matter Of Trench relations with Ger
many. i a3 w
Il Great have been the services that, II.
Delcasse has rendered during the seven.
years that he has presided at the Quai;
d'Orsay. It was he who signed the Rus
sian alliance. He It was that signed the
"entente cordiale" with England. 1t was
he who brought about the reconciliation
with italy. Again, 1t was he who brought
us into accord with Spain. Even the voy-l
age OF the King Alfonso XIII. was the,
fruit of his endeavor.S
And tn en- he was the author OF that
combination that resulted in what has
come to be known as the Pacific pene-s
tration" OF France into Morocco. To C.
compllsh the work--the purpose of which

rival. That visit 70 Tangier was the di-
rect result of this resentment. And 8the
direct result of the visit to osTangier has
been. the rebuff the Sultan gave the mis-
sion Of NJ. ST. Rene de Taillandler, and
our request for reforms. Feeling that he
had tho German Emperor at his back,
1T was merely in order to gain a Little
i time that the Sultan proposed an interna-
ttional conference.
After such ia check to his cherished
ftion was matter of course. He ten

time being, at least, NJ. Rouvier has

Rouvier to decide now whether he shall
( open negotiations with Germany or, ac-
cept the international conference idea.
In the midst of It all, though, there
are certain comforting symptoms which
permit one to believe that the whole
matter will be treated in a friendly spirit
by Germany. And one OF the best OF
these symptoms was the extremely cor
dial greeting that the Kaiser extended
to the French mission sent to Berlin on
the occasion of the marriage of the
Crown Prince.
All Eyes on America.
But the resignation Of NJ. Delcasse
has not been the only event Ut Import

Interest Of the entire world, and which
had its scene In the Capital OF the
United States. With that independents

No civilized man will ever forget that

taken In America, and that that step
superhly marks the entry OF the Amerl-
