reports, declares that they are circulated
by traitors who wish to separate China
from her friends. The edict points out the
great difficulties which confront China at
present and the strong need for maintain
ing friendly relations with the powers.
1t reproves the Chinese students for med
ding with politics and charges the officials,
high and low, to thoroughly protect the
lives and property Of foreigners, specifying
the missions under pain of the most severe
punishment.
A strong force of the troops of Yuan Shi
Kai has been sent to the southern part OF
the province of Chi Ii, where the people
have been threatening the Christians.

HER PLAN OUTLINED IN SPEECH

ALGECIRAS. Spain, March 6.-The posi-
tons as defined before the conference show
that the Franco-German deadlock is prac-
tically the same in open conference as it
was during the private exchanges of views
The text of the speech of Herr Won Rado-
witz, head of the German delegation at
yesterdays session of the conference, as
given out, concludes as follows:
THE powers being equally interested in
the police organization they should equally
participate in it,.
France specifically declines equality in
the organization of the police, claiming
that ii is a mere ruse to undermine France s
legitimate special position in Morocco. The
text of the speech of NJ. Revolt, chief of
the French mission, reads:
No Guaranty of Order.
THE Observation-Disclosures of the police
would give no guaranty of order and pre-
sents grave difficulties. We ask for recog-
milton of the legitimate interests of France
as Mussulman power in North Africa and
our special interests in the maintenance of
order in Morocco"
NJ Reyol's speech also gave Frances S
first exact plan for the police, showing
1900 Moroccans under sixteen French and
ton is that military bodies officered by
Frenchmen would be stationed at four of
the great Moroccan ports on the Atlantic,
thus giving France a dominating influence
on the Atlantic coast The positions OF
France and Germany are so diametrlcally
opposed that the delegates see little hope
of reconcling them unless Emperor VIII
liam personally intervenes.
