DOES NOT GIVE UP HOPE.
france Would Rather NaiQtain the
Pre- sent Status Than Yield.

Paris, Feb. 12.-The view expressed
in certain sections by the French and
foreign press that the Algericas con-
Moroccan difficulties, with conse-
quent renewal of the strained rela-
tions between France and Germany is
considered unjustifed. In government
circles it is pointed out that France,
though DESTROYS of reaching a settle
ment, would rather consent to the
status quo than accept the suggestion
of an international police. This re.
sumption of the old conditions, it is
argued, though unsatisfactory, would
be preferable to agreeing to the estab-
lishment of force which possibly
would become menace to the Alger-
ian frontier. Diplomats consider the
Frances position has been made abso.
lutely CLAIR by the documents publish
ed in the Yellow Book, in which she
consented to the international confer
ence, but laid down the epxress con-
dition that she shall maintain her spe,
cial rights and retain absolute liberty
to accept or reject the decisions of the
conference should her preponnderat-
ing position be affected.
Germany or any other power natur'
ally possesses the same liberty of &C
ton, and refusal from any quarter
to agree to the resolutions Of the con
ference would merely mean that Mo-
rocco will remain in a state of disor-
der, but the European relations Will
not necessarily be disturbed.

PENINSULAR ROAD
EASTERN ATTORNEY SAYS P. A.

les TO Olympia within Sixty Days

Seattle, Feb. lathe Post -Intelli-
gencer this morning says:
"The Port Angeles & Eastern rail-
road is assured fact
In these words John H. Dalton, of
New York and BOSTON, set at rest ru-
mors to the effect that the aforesaid
road existed on paper only.
Mr.. Dalton, of Dalton & Hill, cor
poration lawyers of the East, has been
in the city for the past few days, in
vestigating the franchises that have
been granted by the different city
councils of Port Angeles, and after
consultation with attorneys from that
city and Seattle he has concluded to
report to the principals in the East
that the title to all the franchises is
clear and nothing now stands in the
way of active operations in the con-
struction of the line from Port An
geles to Olympia.
THE proposition is simply this"
said Mr. Dalton last night. eff my
report shows the franchises to have
been legally granted the road will
be built at once on the east side of
the peninsula on the lines that have
been previously reported, with some
few changes, as far as Olympia. There
will also be some branch roads built,
tapping the timber lands. In fact that
will be the main source of revenue of
the road for the next five years. The
whole thing its in such shape that l
expect to leave here Wednesday morn
ing. We can turn over clean title
to all franchises to the financial head
of the proposition, and will finish all
the details tomorrow.

FEWER SMALL POSTOFFjCES,
The Rural Mail Routes Have Wiped

The Rural Mail Routes Have Wiped
Many of the List.
Rural free delivery has made a
considerable difference in the amount
Of memOrizing that postal clerks OH In
diana routes have to do" said
one Of the number. Five years ago
there were 1902 postoffices in In
diana whose names we had to remem-
Der and now there are only 1904. The
reduction Of over 800 offices Is due
to rural free delivery" says the In
dianapolls News.
This reduction has been going on
all over the country. -Four years ago
there were 76,945 postotfices Of all
grades in the United States; now
there are 71,13l--a reduction Of 5.S14.
or course, this does not Indicate de-
crease Of postal business, because, as
everybody knows, that Is increasing
all the time. 1t simple means that
the extension Of rural free delivery
has done away with large number
Of small country postOfices that We're
maintained for the convenience Of
particular neighborhoods which are
now served by carriers.
'Some of the little offices that have
been done away with in Indiana had
queer names, as Alclnda. Alqulna,
Aroma. BanquO. BigfOot, Bud, Carp.
Daylight. Dern. Dick, Dot, Flat, jeff,
Kit Leisure, Noah, Plato, Pony, Sat
urn. Snacks, SOonOver. Strawton. Zlpp
and many others equally queer, sos
in all.
although nearly G.OOO postoffices
have been done away with in the
United States by rural free delivery,
no Roosevelt office Is among them.
The rapid increase in the number of
Eight years ago there was not post
office of that name in the United
States. In 1899 there was only one
and now there are seventeen In as
many different States. The name Is
very popular and Notwithstanding its
slight unwieldiness it will not be long
before there will be a Roosevelt post
office in every growing State. OF the
seventeen now established, seven are
in Southern States-Alabama Arkan-
sas. Georgia, Kentucky. Mississippi,
North Carolina and Texas. There are
also seven Teddy pOstoffices in as
many different States. all establish

postoffices that wish to get Oh the
Roosevelt basis will have to hurry. as
there can be only one office OF the

GAINING ON THE FAIR SEX.



Than Women, 1t IL Thought.
Frau Gnauck -Kuehne is one of the
greatest German authorities on the
modern feminist movements and after
mature study and the collection of
statistics she has come to the con-
clusion that the superiority of women
in so many European countries is n
fact which in the first place is in no
sense an evil and in the second place
is rapidly disappearing.
In another twenty years. she be-
lieves. the tide will begin to turn the
other way and the men will be in the
majority even in such countries rs
England ana Germany, where at the
present time women immensely pre-
ponderate. Some of her statistics are
most interesting. In Luxembourg, for
example. in 1890 there were LOOP wo-
men for every 1000 men. There are
now only 900. In Austria the propor-
ton has been reduced in the same time
from 1,044 to 1885, in hungary from
LOIS to 1000. in Switzerland from
1867 to 1,O35. in Sweden from .O65
to 1,O49. in Germany from 1,O4O to
1882, in England from 1860 TO 1.O47.
She does not believe that any European
nation except Russia will long CON
tinue to increase rapidly in proportion.
England has begun TO follow the ex-
ample of France and Germany will GER
tainly follow in England's footsteps.
In all "advanced' European States
the birth rate is either becoming sta.
tionary or begins to show n backward
tendency.

many.

Algericas, Feb. l2.-At the Moroc-
can conference this week France will
enter demand that she be allowed to
police all the regions of Morocco ex-
cept those contiguous to Spain. The
republic is willing that the policing
shall be watched by the powers with
the assistance of the officers directing
it, but claims practically free hand
in the suppression Of the anarchy that
is regarded at the present moment as
threatening every foreigner and for
eign interest in Morocco.
France will also require an agree
ment regarding ports OH the Moroccan
coast, insuring their freedom from op-
erations that might eventually result
in the establishment of national
strongholds, commanded by foreign
powers.
morocco IN French Sphere.
The essence of Frances position is
that Morocco lies within her present
sphere and must therefore be regarded
with relation to the future security of
the republic, whereas the other pow
ers, with the exception of Spain, are
interested only in economics.
The French republic is ready to give
the most solemn guarantee for All open
door, not only for the 3O-year period
specified in the Anglo-French conven-
ton, but for all time. Its delegates
hope thus to get the support of Amer
lea and the sympathy of every power
except Germany. They will contend
that Frances position for dealing
with anarchy and the raids of bri.
gands, which are causing the greatest
uneasiness in Tangier, is peculiar in
that alone of all the powers she is pre-
pared with troops Immediately avail
able to secure order in the interest of
all nations.
Privately, the French delegates de-
clare that they will never agree to
any arrangement that gives Germany
chance to build up a naval base
south and west of France to coop
crate with the German forces OH the
east. Such development would mean
the complete enslavement of France
to Berlin. They add that Germany
claims her interests are only economic
and such they must remain.
Great Britain is supporting France
with the utmost strenuousness and
fidelity
