Always Delay.

Although the closing time is so near it
is almost impossible to tell from those
already received how many entries are
likely to be made. Exhibitors have il
mania for waiting until the final minute
and then crowding all the entries in at
one time. An illustration of this was
to be found in the Boston show last
year. On the morning of the last day
there were just seventy-five entries in
the secTetaTy's office. Before they had
finished arriving there were nearly I.200.
Mr.. Zero is confident that the Wash
ipgtOn show will be an entire success as
far the number of entries is con-
cerned, as the number of inquiries he
has received from persons who are not

GERMANY DESIRES ID
 BREAK UP CONFERENCE
OFFICIAL OPINION IN GREAT BRITAIN REGARDING MO-
 ROCCAN MEETING.

COntended That Not Satisfied With Re-
 fusing What is Considered Most
 Liberal Offer on the Part of France
 in Respect to Policing Morocco the
 Kaiser Makes the Impossible Sugges-
 tiOns in Regard to Proposed State
 Bank-Chagrin in Official Circles,
 London, Feb. 22.-Ofiieial opinion in Great Britain regarding the Moroccan conference can be summed up by the statement that it is now certain Ger many desires the Algeciras conference to break up without settling the vexed Moroccan question" It is contended here that not satisfied with refusing what Great Britain calls the most lib eral offer" on the part of France in re- spect to policing Morocco, Germany has placed another obstacle in the way of d settlement by making impossible sug- gestlons in regard to the proposed state bank,
 The belief in Great Britain is that all the efforts of German and British sub jects to create better feeling between their respective countries are being un- don by the German attitude at Algeci- ras.
 In English official circles there Is no attempt to hide the discomfort at the course of events at the conference. Ger many, these officials say, in proposing the conference promised to recognize Frances preponderent interests in Mo- rocco and not to place obstacles in the way of a settlement. They add that she is adopting exactly the opposite course and loses no opportunity to com promise the differences between the two most interested countries, The suggestion coming from Berlin that King Edward and Emperor Will liam will meet shortly is officially de- nied, at least the foreign office officials say that they have not cognizance of the rumored meeting Similar stories were circulated last year from Berlin and 1t is believed here that they were | designed to create an impression that King Edward was seeking an interview with the German emperor Algeciras, Spain, Feb. 22.-At the aft ernoon sitting to-day the conference settled few minor points of the bank 1 question including the adoption of a gold basis.
 The Italian delegates are discussing the possibility of the appointment of a number of the eonferees as arbitrators for the settlement of the controversial points In the French and German projects should an agreement relative to the majority of the details be attain I ed.
 | Ambassador White persists in his op- timistic view of the ultimate results of | the conference.

WOMAN TRAIN WRECKER.
Member of Prominent Ohio Family and
 Beautiful.

Tifin, O., Feb. 22.--Mrs Cora Carpen- ter was arrested here to-day, accused of wrecking a Pennsylvania freight train week ago Wednesday night and attempting to wreck a fast passenger lowing.
 Mrs. Carpenter is a member of a prominent family of this county and is a beautiful woman highly educated and apparently refined. The authorities de- clare 1t was miracle that a fast train, crowded with passengers, was not wrecked on the first and second at tempts to ditch it.
 Grover Bachman, aged twenty years, who was arrested yesterday, to-day confessed that he and Mrs. Carpenter wrecked freight train last week, but that its unexpected arrival prevented the loss of as many lives as they ex- pected.
 The plot, as outlined by Bachman, was that together they would wreck the train, and that when the horror of the catastrophe had caused a large re- ward to be offered, Mrs. Carpenter would tell on him. He was willing to serve year or so in the penitentiary, he says, and after that was over the two had planned a life of ease.
 Mrs. Carpenter was questioned by the police and other officials for a long time to-day, but she did not admit the crime.

AMERICANS A FOOTBALL
 FOR THE GREAT TRUSTS
OPINION EXPRESSED DURING TARIFF DEBATE IN THE
 REISCHSTAG.

Time Has Come When They Must Wake
 Up Declares Minister VOn Posodow-
 sky-Wehner Speaking in Defense of
 Bill to Extend Reciprocal TariT
 Rates to the United States Until
 June 30, 1907 and Thus Avoid Tariff
 War-Measure Passed.
 Berlin, Feb 22.-The reichstag to-day passed the first and second readings, without amendment, of the govern ment's proposal to extend reciprocal tariff rates to the United States until June 30, 1907.
 The bill having passed its second reading, Baron Heyl zu Herrnsheim, introduced an amendment declaring that it should extend only to part of Germany's conventional tariff.
 Count Von Posadowsky- Wehner op- posed the amendment on the ground that it would compel the government to forthwith discriminate against Ameri- can goods, adding that Germany had not had great success in its latest tariff wars.
 What advantage could Germany gain with the United States?" he asked The purpose of the provisional arrange ment, he added, is to give America time othink. q believe" the minister con- tinued, the time has come when Amer ican citizens see they are merely the football of the great trusts; but we will not wait till this discovery has been made. A tariff war causes the greatest embitterment, like other wars"
 The amendment received only the vote of a part of the nationalists.
 The bill was then voted by an im- mense majority. the negatives coming from only parts of the nationalists and conservatives.
 Chancellor von Bulow opened the de- bate in the reichstag. The chancellor said that although the United States was the principal exporter of agricul- tural products and raw materials, Ger man agriculture was not so much inter- ested in commercial treaty with the United States as in German industry and commerce, which suffered through the high American tariffs, and by ob- stacles in the American customs houses. Germany, in giving notice of the ter imitation of the agreement of 1900 with the United. States, had proposed a treaty after the pattern of those con- cluded with the European states. Such a treaty, as was well known from the beginning, was beset with difficulties which the chancellor could not discuss without mixing in the international af- fairs of foreign state. The imperial government asked the reichstag to au- thorize the application of the treaty rates to the United States not as a right under the most favored nation in- depreciation, but in order that the ne- gotiations pending might still be con- ducted to satisfactory end, and be- cause 1t was in the interest of both countries to avoid tariff war.
 Continuing, the chancellor said that he placed a high value on good politi- ical relations between Germany and the United States, which were blessing to both lands, but 1t would be deceptive to believe that he would buy political friendship by the sacrifice of Germany 8 economic interests.

AGAIN OPERATED UPON
Illness of Former President of the
 Equitable.

New York, Feb. 22-James W. Alex ander, former president of the Equita- ble Life Assurance society was operat- ed on to-day in his home at East Six ty-fourth street for the relief of the organic trouble from which he has been under treatment for the last six months. According to his son, H. M. Alexander this operation was not so much new one as 1t was the comple- ton of the operation performed ten days ago, when his father was brought here from sanitarium in Deerield, Mass, for surgical treatment.
 MT. Alexander's condition was such that the surgeons attending him, Drs. E. L. Reyes and c. H. Chetwood, deem- ed it best to perform the operation in two parts rather than all at once, and to-day's operation was the comple- tion of the surgical treatment requir- ed. Young MT. Alexander said to- night:
 This second operation was contem- plated from the beginning, and was necessary to complete the surgical treatment. It was hoped that by separ- ating the operation in two parts my father would be better able to stand the shock. His doctors say that his condition after the operation to-day was as satisfactory as could be expect ed p
