SETTLEMENT OF MOROCCAN CON
TRovERsY APPEARS TO BE
NEAR AT HAND.
eEaMAAY TO ACCEPT FRENCH PLAN
LATTER TO CONTROL MOROCCAN
POLICE UNDER CERTAIN
GUARANTEES.

Algeciras, Spain, March 9.-The
netaisberial crisis in Paris caused pro-
found astonishment among the dele
gates of the powers attending the Mo
Eoccan conference, but the details
have not yet reached -Algeciras The
impression prevails that the event is
deplorable and may possibly prove
| disastrous to French diplomacy. The
delegates, however, refuse to commit
| themselves on the effect which the
downfall of the Rouvier cabinet may
have on the conference.
Previous to the receipt of the news
IT the ministerial crisis at the French
| capital the tone of encouragement
had completely disappeared and the
work of rapproachment was proceed
| ing with fevertsh activity.
The conference during the morning
| resumed the discussion of the, Moroe-
| propositions were presented-one by
| the Austrian delegation embodying the
German ideas; another by the French
and the third by the Moroccan mis-
| sion.
| Various Plans Explained.
The Austrian plan gives the sultan
supreme command of the police and
| he is to select French officers for the
| police at four ports. The Moroccan
| plan makes the sultan supreme and
| asks that all the powers participate in
| the organization of the police. The
| French plan, as heretofore; outlined,
| establishes Franco-Spanishs police at
| eight of the leading ports
| An official note issued at the close
of the days session read as follows:
| Herr Won Radowitz (chief Of the
| German mission), referring to the
statements made by the Russian,
French and Spanish delegates at the
last session of the conference, said the
German government did not object to
the organization of the Moroccan po-
| lice by France and Spain at the ports
open to commerce under proper guar
antees assuring economic liberty"
The official statement made by Herr
| Won Radowitz appears to assure an
| agreement

can question.
Paris, March 9.-The government
finds itself without a ministry at the
elimination stage of the Moroccan
conference at Algeciras. A semi-offi
says: @
..'The ministerial crisis does not af-
feet French policy at the conference .
This is designed chiefly to warn
Germany not to take advantage of the
situation. The fact is that the minis
terial crisis confuses matters and
threatens the agreement, which other
wise might have been reached shortly.
The vote in the chamber of dep,i-
ties. resulting in the defeat of the gov
ernment and the resignation of the
cabinet, also requires that the govern,
ment temporize with the church mani
festants. who are becoming increas
ingly demonstrative, particularly the
peasants.
President Faliieres during the day
began a series of consultations rela-
tive to the formation Of a new minis
try. He at first conferred lengthily
with M. Dubost, president of the sen
ate, and later received NJ Doumer,
president of the chamber of deputies.
No announcement of the presidents S
course of action has been made, but
the names most mentioned are those
of Leon Bourgeois, the former pre-
mier; Alexander Millerand, the for
mer minister of commerce; Raymond
Poincaire. former minister OF public
works, and Senator Clemencea. There
is some talk also of M. Delcasse, the
former foreign minister, who is sup:
ported by the Anglo French enthtf
siasts but his appointment is impos.
sible owing. to German hostility to him
Vatican authorities Interested.
Rome, NJ arch 9.-The Vatican au-
sthorities received throughout the night
stelegrams from France regarding the
cabinet crisis, in which the pope and
Papal Secretary Merry del Val were
most interested, although it was adj
mitted that it was difficult to establish
whether the issue would be a victory
for the Holy See or the Inauguration
of even stronger anti-Catholic regime

you might GO out and get it or come

American pompadour would look su-

There is really a very good reason
for the French craze for tiny hats.
Women do not remove their headgear
in the theater. but large millinery eff
feets would not be tolerated; hence a
multitude of dainty ehapeaux hardly
larger than bunch of violets.
If the American woman wishes to
