CoLaUITT MAKES COMPLAINT.
Says state Commission Can Not Regu-
 late Freight TarfM.

Austin, Tex. Feb. 13.--0. B. Colquitt, junior member of the Texas Railroad Commission, who has repeatedly ex- pressed himself as favoring President Roosevelt's plan of rate regulation, has given out a statement in which he says Texas railroad commissions lumber tariff Is one of the strongest arguments which the worst enemy of the commits sion could make in favor of abolishing the commission and the new lumber tariff just adopted over his protest Is not much better. He adds:
 T am disgusted with the whole rate making practices of the railroad com mission and I believe the time Is not far distant when the people will have to look to some other source for the control of this situation"
 The tariff as revised by the com mission provides for reduction in the state generally but the rate in local hauls in north Texas where most of the lumber handled. IS increased. It was urged several months ago that a reduction in the tariff was necessary to both the ship per and retail dealer.
 Commissioner MayfieId answering Commissioner Colquitt says the latter has insulted the majority of the com mittee by his remarks and that he con siders them entirely uncalled for.

The Operators W1lMake
 No Concessions.
EXPLANATION OF THEIR STAND
Declare Men Do Not Work Eight
 Hours a Day.
Presidents of the Ceai Carrying Roads Meet in New York and Decide Upon Their Answer to the
 Scale Commfttee.

New York, Feb. 13.--Thc coal mine operators have come to full under standing and have agreed as to the general policy they will pursue at the conference with the committee of tha mine union workers to be held here Thursday next.
 The presidents of the coal carrying roads are unwilling to discuss for pnb- lication the positions at issue between their companies and the United Mine Workers prior to their meeting with Mir. Mitchell and his associates, but the position elicited by careful canvass, as one of the presidents put it, is such that "the miners will have to strike or back down."
 eve do not propose" he said, s'ta aocede to their demands In any way and don't see what else they can do but strike. They are coming to this conference to demand an eight hour day and recognition of the union. be- sides other things. It was clearly strike commission fin 1902. that the miners do not work eight hours a day and the claim is only disguised de~ mand for higher rate of wages.
 ''The Anthracite Commission" con- tinued this president. "also decided that 1t was the right of the operators to employ either union or non-unton men without discrimination. These are tna two main points of the demands. the miners committee will make, and both have already been decided on by an eminent commission and will be ad~ hered to vigorously. We shall couch our refusal to mako them in the most cordial and diplomatic terms and give them every opportunity to back down gracefully. We sincerely hope there will be no rupture. We are willing to continue under the present arrange~i ment."
 It was stated there were 6,00O,n O,n00 tons of coal already mined, not 10,0oe,- COG as has been stated. If a strike comes in March no further hardship to the public will ensus but the oper- ators say strike in November would be another matter.

 Pnper in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 13.-The contro- versy among the stockholders and of- ficers of The Atlanta News Publishing Company was ended today by the resig- nation of Col. John Temple Graves as editor of The News and the dismissal of the court proceedings between Col onel Graves and General Manager Charles Daniel.
 Colonel Graves gave the following statement to the press:
 The order of the court today in the contempt cases seemed to make legal the purchase of the stock of The At lanta News by the railroads and their friends and feeling it impossible to preserve my integrity of conviction and liberty of action under the present ownership of the paper, voluntarily resigned the authorship of the journal which have guided from It's founda- tion.
 T am able definitely to announce that within a very short titme shall pulp fish and edit a new daily paper !n Att Ianta backed by large capital and ampler equipment than ever sustained a new paper in the South. This pa- per will stand for the same principles which have given force and popularity to the paper I have left. Only In this instance 1t will stand for these prin- ciples permanently because the new daily will have no stockholders and my only partner will be gentleman whose character, motives and coop erative fidelity I have implicit and well founded confidence.

BLAME PLACED ON FRANCE.
German Foreign once Gives it's Side O
 Controversy.

German Foreign OfRee Gives its Side of
 Controversy.
 Berlin, Feb. 13.--Some exchanges Of suggestions between this and other governments regarding the Algeciras negotiations are proceeding, although there is really no expectation of an agreement.
 Both France and Germany have taken up seemingly unyielding posi- tions, France for a general mandate in Moroccan affairs and Germany for combined administration by all the in- terested powers. The view of the Ger man Foreign Office Is that if France in- tended to insist on a paramount posi- tion in Morocco why did she take part in the conference.
 If Germany should now agree to give over Morocco to France. the efforts of years would be fruitless, and long pe- riod of unrest in European affairs, it is believed. would begin, the issue of which no one ventured to predict. It is likened in official quarters, however, to the period from iS66 to 1870, when the economic life of the principal con tinent countries was disturbed contin- uousfy by fears and rumors of war.
 The dissolution of the Algeciras con- ference while not in itself the cause of war talk will certainly be succeeded by revival of mutual distrust be- tween France and Germany.
 Suspicion was aroused here today by the news from Lalla Marnia, province of Gran, Algeria, that the Moorish pre- tender. Blu Hamara, is assembling the independent tribes for attacks against towns near the Algerian frontier. As the pretender is considered to be fully controlled by the French his activity at this moment is disquieting as indi- eating that France has resumed her forward policy in Morocco.
