Conference Votes 10 Tackle
the Police Question:
AUSTRIA AND MOROCCO ONLY
WILL STAND BY GERMANY
Result Of Sensational Ballot Is That
FranCo-German Problem Is
Forced to a Decision.

Algeciras, Mar. 2.--The conference
at Morocco took a most important step
today by deciding, on the initiative of
Great Britain, to proceed to the inn
mediate discussion of the police ques-
ton. After Sir Arthur Nicholson.
chief of the British delegation, had
submitted this proposition. Marquis
Nisconti Nenosta, head of the Italian
mission, actively seconded it, eloq-
uently appealing for conc1llation and
as king for the abandonment of the
absolute and unbending standpoint
taken by France and Germany His
words We're listened to with Difference.
The voting showed that Germany
had with her Austria and Morocco,
While eight representatives of the
powers supported Sir Arthur Nicolson.
Belgium ana Sweden announced that
they would abide by the decision of
the majority. one of the delegates
then proposed that the police question
be referred to a special committee
which should prepare a project and
submit 1t to the conference. but this
proposition received a negative vote.
The result of the vote on Sir Arthur
Nicolson's proposal has caused some
thing of a sensation, as it means that
the delicate Franco German contest
over the policing of Morocco has been
forced to a decisive issue in which
both sides will be compelled to show
their hands Moreover, the vote gave
he first indication Of the strength OF
the two sides. While this was not de-
cisye, as the question was not upon
the merits of the police, yet Il discos-
u that Austria and Morocco were the
only countries voting with Germany.
1t Is understood that France will
not present a police project to the
conference. ana that therefore she will
he consulted simply on the question
Of the principle involved.
1t is expected that the discussion OF
the question Of police will be begun
Monday.
Concerning a dispatch to q London
newspaper from Washington i'm effect
hat Emperor William contemplated
a dramatic stroke by announcing that
'rance and Germany had agreed the
delegates declare that they do not
possess information warranting such
Il statement.
However many of them admit that
the character of the German emperor
makes such "a step possible.

A long and important conference on
the statehood bill was held in the
White House this afternoon those
with the president at the conference
being Senators Warren, of Wyoming,
Long, of Kansas. and Burkett, of Ne
braska The senators called at the
White House on invitation of the
president The three senators are all
supporters of the statehood bill as II
came from the house and are opposed
to the amendment by Senator Foraker
which seeks to submit the question of
Joint statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona to the people of each terri
tory. So far as the senators could dc
so, they informed President Roosevelt
as to the situation of the statehood
bill and consulted as TO the advisable
ity of working to save the bill, the
status of which at the present time is
not considered to be as favorable a
il was n short time since.
1t is generally believed that If the
president cares to exert his influence
with the senate as he has done in the
case Of railroad legislation in both
branches Of congress, the statehood
bill in its present form will become
law.

PEASANTS CONTINUING
WORK OF DEVASTATION

Riga, Livonia, Jan. 1O.-Although
the troops are operating theoretically
in all directions, the revolutionary
peasants are continuing their work of
devastation, wandering in groups
through the provinces, cutting the
railway wherever an opportunity is
offered and attacking trains and pas
sengers.
OF the many historic castles erected
in the days of the Teutonic knights of
the Hanzalic league, which were rich
in memories of the wars between Rus
slams and Swedes, and Germans and
Let's, only a few remain. Among
those destroyed was the magnificent
castle of Neunberg, the oldest in
Cortland, which was built in 1914
and contained historical documents
and priceless pictures and antiquities.
1t belonged to Baron Won Derecke.

The Russians told story of horror

come to them from stories told of
stations blocked by mutineers, who
looted and burned everything in sight.
Many of those who started for Russia
have turned back. Trains have been
seized and turned on a backward
course, and great gaps exist in the line
to the European frontier.
According to the refugees there has
been general uprising in Siberian
Russia which will stop operations of
the railway for the winter at least,
considering the difficulties of main

lULL IS Only A TRUCE
over THE HOLIDAYS

St. Petersburg, Jan. 10.-The sue
cess which thus far has attended the
campaign against the violent revolu-
tonists has plainly encouraged the
government to believe that the worst
is over for the winter.
Except in the Baltic provinces, the
Caucasus and the Don region, where
thep prevailing anarchy is likely to
continue indefinitely, some semblance
of order is being gradually restored in
the empire.
The socialists and revolutionists
stoutly maintain the present lull is
only truce over the holidays, and
from mysterious hiding places the
leaders continue issuing orders to re-
fuse all compromise with imperialists,
to boycott the national assembly and
to prepare for great armed insurrec-
ton.
The government, however, processes
confidence that the revolutionists will
not quickly recover from the loss of
strength which they have suffered.
