AMERICAN DELEGATES SUGGEST
A SOLUTION OF MOROCCAN
DIFFICULTY.
Ambassador White, Fearing Disagree.
ment, Submits New Proposal for
Settlement of Police ouestIon-Plan
ls Approved BY Interested Powers
and Is Believed to BE Acceptable e
Germany and France.

Algeciras, Spain, March 28. Am
bassador White and the others Of the
American delegation to the conference
on Moroccan reforms were showered
with compliments during the day for
what is regarded as their sagacious
intervention, which has assured a solu-
tion of the last remaining serious diff
ficulty of the conference and final
settlement of one OF the most delicate
and complicated questions ever
brought before the conference for de-.
cision.
Austria's police proposal Monday
left the German and French delegates
still occupying totally opposed stand
points relative to the police inspection.
Mr.. White, seeing the danger Of dis
agreement, took the initiative In an at
tempt to save the situation. He and
his colleagues drew up fresh scheme,
laying down the proposition that the
inspector shall report simultaneo
to both the sultan and the diplomatic
corps at Tangier, the latter having au-
thority to order inquiries into the
working Of the Franco Spanish police
scheme, thus guaranteeing the carry
ing out Of the conferences decision
and safeguarding foreign interests and
commercial transactions. The diplo-s
matte corps, after informing the sui
tan, may also at any time order the
inspector to inquire and report, should
any interested government present q
complaint.
Before presenting this plan to the
committee, Mr.. White approached the
principal delegates. The British,
Italian and Russian delegates unhesi-
tatingly approved the proposal and
promised it their fullest support. Mr..
White then conferred suocessively
with the French and German dele
gates, who agreed as to the practic
ity of the idea and consented to submit
the scheme to their respective govern
ments, whose concurrence they con-
slider to be virtually certain.

Washington, March 26.-The sub

ways and means has agreed to report

her husband, Mr. Gibbs, the decree
having been signed by the late Judge

FAILS IO FIX ..AG[S
JOINT SCALE COMMITTEE OF oP.
ORATORS AND MINERS RE-
FORTS DISAGREEMENT.
Matter Is Then Discussed by the Joint
Conference and Speeches Made by
Representatives of Both Sides, but
No Decision Reached-Present Scale
Expires Saturday and Suspension Of
Work Is Likely.

Indianapolis, March 2s-The joint
scale committee of the bituminous
coal operators of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania during the
day reported a disagreement to the
joint conference of the Central COM
petitive district and after session
of three hours the conference ad-
journed until morning without taking
definite action. The discussions and
arguments showed no change in the
situation and established the fact that
so far as indications can determine
the opposing sides are no nearer a
wage agreement than they were in
January. The present scale will ex-
pire Saturday and unless an agree
ment is reached before then, the 1885,
600 miners in the four states may be
called from the mines.
President Mitchell of the miners
opened the discussion in the joint con
ference after there had been silence
Of ten minutes during which each
side was waiting for the other to make
the first move. He moved that as a
babsis of settlement there be resto-
ration of the scale, the mining scale
and the day wage scale and the dead
work scale-bf 1903.
Operators Propose Substitute.
]. H. Winder, chairman of the opera
tors, offered as a substitute motion
to adopt the present scale with all
conditions existing at the time of it's
adoption with the mining rate at Dan
vile, ILL.,, for base and to include all
cost Of shooting, loading, timbering
and inspection of shots.
Speeches were made for the opera
tors by J. G. Kalsea and Phil Penna
Of Indiana, H. N. Taylor Of Illinois
and H. l.. Chapman of Ohio, all ex.
pressing the determination of the
operators Of those states to oppose
an increase in wages and to refuse to
pay an advance. For the miners,
President John Mitchell, Vice Presi-
dent T. L. Lewis, Secretary w. B. Will
son, H. G. Perry, William Green and
M1ellirgtc: e'Ccoa,sa1or G co,sa1or pressed tie ie-
termination of the miners to insist up
on their demands for the restoration
of the wage scale of 1908, which is an
increase of 5.55 per cent.
Mr.. Phil Penna of the Indiana opera
tors in his speech suggested the settle
ment Of the differences by arbitration.
Adjournment was taken in the
midst Of the discussion. No vote
was taken on any proposition during
the meeting.
