| PARIS. April In the Chamber Of
Deputies to-day NJ. Delcasse, Minister Of
| Foreign Affairs, in statement concern
| ing the Moroccan question, reiterated that
/ the Government would TRANQUILITY pursue
! It's task in conformity with the Anglo
! French agreement without the least de-
sign upon the interests Of other powers.
He declared that commercial facilities
! in Morocco would be absolutely equal
| If, despite his precise declarations, mis-
understanding still existed he was ready
10 do his utmost TO dissipate II, and TO
consider suggestions from Germany and
the other Powers.
President Loubet recounted 20 the Cabinet
Ministers to-day his interview with King
! Edward yesterday. He said that 1t was
extremely cordial.

Ambassador in conversation last evening
observed the animation Of the King and
the thoughtfui air Of Sir Francis Berthe,

upon a very serious matter II took place
after the meeting between the King and
President Loubet. It may be concluded,
says the Echo, that the question which
is agitating the diplomacy Of Great Britain
France and Germany was the subject OF
the conversations and that the interview
between the King and the President was
consequently more than a simple act OF
courtesy.
The RepubIque FrdHedist says that the
steps now being taken are welcomed by
France with the sentiment Of gratitude
that they deserve.
The Figaro says: France participates
with respect and warm sympathy in the
good wishes that President Loubet went 70
offer 10 King Edward. 1t is necessary 70
say and prove that these sentiments are
quickened without doubt by the present
circumstances Of our foreign policy. but
that they are not the accidental result, the
premature, ephemeral fruit Of that policy

LONDON, April ga despatch to the
Chronicle from Vienna says it is stated that
the German Ami sssador at Constsntinople,
Baron Won Bieberstein acting on instruc-
tons from Emperor " lillian, has urgently
advised the Sultan to arrange a Pan-Islarnic
union with Morocco. Abdul Hamid liked
the idea, but told the Ambassador that
Morocco ought to take the first step in the
matter.

persuade the uncle Of the Sultan Of Morocco
