Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, March 17.-Even If the confer
ence on Moroccan reforms results in a
complete agreement, the danger OF a serious
dispute between Germany and France will
not be ended. Indeed, II an announcement
made by the Neuc Mlitaerische cores
pondent is correct-and the paper is a
semi-off1clal one--a question fraught with
dangers at least as great as those connect
ed with the Moroccan question is about 10
be raised by Germany.
1t is declared that Germany intends to
raise the question of the status of the
powers in Abyssinia, and that she will pro-
pose that an International conference to
consider 1t be held next autumn.
The gravity of this news cannot easily be
exaggerated. Whatever comes of the Alge-
ciras conference, II IS certain that fl will
leave Ill feeling behind It, and that this Ill
feeling Will color any future question be-
tween France and Germany for a consider
able time to come. Under these circum-
stances, 10 attempt 10 dispute the position
which France has gained for herself In
Abyssinla by what have hitherto been re-
garded as perfectly legitimate means. ap-
pears highly provocative proceeding.
French Interests in Africa.
Frances interests in Morocco are due al
together 10 her ownership of the railway
from Jibuu to the Abyssinian frontier. The
proposed continuation of the railway to
Ads Abeba is not and cannot be altogether
French enterprise. for the Emperor Meme
lik declared last April that he would not
permit the construction of a line bv for
eigners unless England, France and Italy
came to an agreement to interna tionalize
IT. If no such agreement is reached Abys-
sinia Will build the road herself
Moreover Germany Is already in an ad-
vantageous position IN regard to AbyssinIan
trade on account of the commercial tre,ty
which was concluded as result of the spe
ciai German embassy to the court of Neeus
about year ago. The proposed conference
1t would appear, can have no other object
than 10 secure for Germany participa tion
in the building and control of the railway
in Abyssinia.
IL Is reported that Herr Won Radowirz VIII
represent Germany II the proposed confer
ence on Abyssinia is held, but that after
the Algeciras conference is ended he will
not return to Madrid as ambassador but
will be replaced by Prince Hohenlohe at
present head of the colonial department
The centrists are dlspIeased with Prince
Hohenlohe. and 1t is felt that what Is re-
garded the German fiasco at Algeciras
renders II necessary to replace Herr Won
Radowitz at Madrid.

port of Births.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
WILMINGTON, Del. March 17.-Reports
which have just been received here from
points throughout Delaware show great
increase in the number of girls born over
the birth of boys. In this city during the
past four weeks thirty-nine female abes
were born as against thirty-one males. In
the corresponding period last year the
sexes broke even. Since then. however, the
females have been steadily gaining.
The probability that females will soon be
overwhelmingly in the majority in this
state Is causing much anxiety TO the po-
litical leaders. who are not in favor or
equal suffrage report which reached
here today from Easton, Md. stated that
similar conditions exist throughout the
peninsula OF twenty-four births at
Easton since January 1. nineteen of them
are girls.
