WILL PASS OVER HIS VETO
Franchise Giving POSoer of Alder
men Bound to Go.
inv TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBuSr.I


Albany. April 20-With the shortest poss'Ois
delay the legislature will next week pass over
Mavor McCleTan's veto the Elsberg bills trans
ferring from the Board OF Aldermen to the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment the right
OF granting franchises The end of the graft
and hold-up system that has grown up III the
Board OF Aldermen and has resulted IN the
frequent appeal 10 the legislature for RELIEF from
the local board which insisted on being seen
and fixed" has hardened the legislative heart
10 any such appeal as is contained IN the
Mayors message Of Veto
The legislative leaders are inclined to regard
this veto as quite the sort of political
mistake as the signing OF the Remsen East
River gas grab" was last year. The veto had
been discounted before the bill went to the
Mayor, and the repassage Of the bill is certain
In fact, 1t is so certain that the bill aimed to
break up the ''hold-up' on Port Chester has
been laid aside as unnecessary.
The only effect OF the Mayors memorandum
may be that when the bills are repassed there
will be some straight talk. and evidence Of the
aldermen's hold-ups. which mercifuny
withheld in previous debates may be well aired
on the floor OF the Senate and Assembly. This
was more than limited at to-day by Senator
Malby. Assemblyman Rogers said:
Mayor McCIellan's veto was not unexpected.
The bills were passed early enough to permit
their repassage. and they will certainly be
passed over the veto. Public sentiment in the
city wants them.
The measures viii go through early next
week. and there is no doubt that the Governor
viii sign them.

and French national anthems.
King Edwards arrival opens the first of Sc
ries of visits covering the next two months
which, through accident or design promise TO
exert important influence in showing the world
and Germany in particular, Frances strong po-
sition among the nations of Europe. These eX-
changes of courtesies are calculated to exert
powerful influence in the settlement of the MO
roccan question President Loubet Will receive
the British ruler at the Elysee Palace to-1nor-
row afternoon. In the evening the President
will give dinner in honor of the King which
will be attended by seventy ambassadors mi
listers and others.

brought to France by Spanish squadron con-
slsting of three battleshps. six cruisers ana
many smaller craft This squadron will be met
at Cherbourg by a French squadron, consisting
of fifteen warships, including the largest ana
finest battleships and cruisers of the French
Northern squadron. A squadron of the British
Channel fleet is expected to be present. NJ.
Loubet will go to Cherbourg to greet King AL
fonso. and the two rulers will review the COM
bned squadrons. The stay of the Spanish King
in Paris will be again marked by evidences OF
Franco-Spanish cooperation, including an ex-
change of toasts at a dinner at the Elysee Pal
ace and review of 10000 troops.
Closely following the departure of King AL
fonso will come the official visit of a British
squadron to French waters. This will he en-
tirely distinct from Great Britains share in the
welcome Of the King of Spain to France, The
rendezvous will he at Brest, where over twenty
warships of the British Channel and Reserve
fleets will be present. The French naval forces
will include the Northern and Mediterranean
squadrons. The combined naval manoeuvres
and festivities will last from July 10 to July IL,
allowing the British ships to take part in the
celebration of the French national holiday on
July ii.
Soon after the naval display at Brest the
united French squadrons will make return
visit to the British naval headquarters at Ports
mouth, where joint manPuvres and festivities
will cover ten days. This exchange OF naval visits
will be the first in twenty years. They are the
direct upgrowth of the Anglo-French under

"JAPAN's WOMEN ARE PARAGONs. .

The japanese woman as daughter. wife and

GERWANY'S ATTITUDE.
No Sign of Yielding to Frances
Offer of Negotiations.

Tangier, April 29.-Count Won Tattenbach-
Ashold, head of the German mission which is
to go to Fec TO arrange a special commercial
treaty between Germany and Morocco. in an
interview here to-day outlined the German atti-
tude toward Morocco. He practically stated
that Germany did not recognize French infiu-
epce in Morocco and sought to re-establish the
situation prior to the Anglo-French agreement
The count said Germany regarded Morocco as
a field for development by Germans under the
protection OF the German government, He
pointed out the growing need in Germany Of
room for development because Of the rapidly in
creasing population The count said:
The extension Of Germany's commerce and
industry demands protection against the handi-
caps which foreign countries seek TO impose
Other powers have great colonies, where they
can favor their trade, while Germany's
colonies are few and small and wherever Ger
many attempts move in the direction of eX-
tension of trade she invariably finds opposition
from a coalition of the powers. Germany is
unable to conceive a reason for this. For in
stance, Germany was strictly neutral during
the South African war, but as soon as Great
Britain was the cOnquerOr she introduced
preferential tariff detrimental to Germany 1t
is impossible for Germany to ignore the attempt
to introduce the same policy in Morocco, ana
she is compelled TO protest.
Had France consulted Germany much trouble
would have been avoided. When powers are
neighbors il is all the more necessary to avoid
Germany would have pointed out TO France the
incompatibility of private agreements between
individual powers where international cOnven-
tions existed 20 which the Sultan was party.
France is now Offering to enter into negotta-
tiOns, and is willing to make concessions, but
Germany is unable to become guilty OF the
same error OF which she accuses other powers
by going behind the Madrid Convention.
Germanys course is clear. She claims equal
rights with other nations. and insists on the in
tegrity of the Moorish empire. My mission to
Fee is with the object Of thanking the sultan
for the reception accorded Emperor William at
Tangier and to repeat the assurances of Ger
many's attitude toward Morocco. The Emperor
has no proposals to make and does not intend
to ask for any concessions. Germany does not
suggest an international convention, but would
warmly support such proposal If put forward
by the Sultan, as being the only solution OF the
present conflicting interests.
Reports from Fee say that the French nego-
tiations are not advancing. and that the Sultan
is temporizing while awaiting the arrival Of
Count Won Tattenbach-Ashold.

The Governor returned from New-York last
night for the express purpose Of sending an
emergency message on this measure to the legis-
lauure this morning, but owing TO the fact that
there were only eight members in the Senate
and about the same proportion in the Assembly,
the message did not go in. 1t is all ready, how
ever and will be sent 10 the legislature Monday
night.
Congressman William s. Bennett. chairman OF the
legislative committee OF the committee Of four
teen Of the City Club, said in regard the bill
yesterday:
come effective by May J. II has been referred to
the Committee Amendments, and the session to-
day Is purely formal. This phase OF the work of
