ONLY PEACE
WITH DIGNITY
FOR FRANCE
Reaches The Limit on
Concessions in Morocco.
PARIS AUTHORITIES CONFIDENT
THERE WILL BE NO WAR
Underlying Cause Of German Atti-
y tude Is Desire to Break Up
AugIo-French Entente.

= Paris, Feb. 24-The officials of the
foreign office emphasize Premier Rou-
vier's statement in the chamber OF
deputies yesterday. THAT France
wants peace only on conditions as
suring her rights and dignity" as
summing up the governments inten-
tion at Algeciras This is coupled
with the view that the government S
rights and dignity have already
reached the furthest limits of conces-
sion and therefore, from the stand
point of the government authorities. 1t
is preferable that the agony of the
conference be not prolonged, as
France prefers to continue the status
quo in Morocco as though the confer
ence had not tried to deal with the
question. However, this attitude does
not involve any thought of immediate
war on the contrary the highest au-
thorities here are firmly convinced
that the failure of the conference will
not bring war; first, because their ad-
vices show that Germany does not
want war and, second, because French
official opinion is strongly against war.
II is therefore the expectation in gov
ernment circles that the deadlock at
Algeciras will drag along until dls-
agreement is manifest, and then some
colorless action will be taken leaving
the main Frapco-German issue where
~ was before the conference was de-
ciSed upon. The effect Of this would
be to establish the status quo, which
France prefers to anything short OF
the conference conceding her para
mount position in Morocco. While 1t
IS recognized that the failure of the
conference would not precipitate i'm
mediate war. yet 1t would leave Fran
co-German relations in state OF un-
easiness threatening serious future
complications. However, in govern
ment quarters here it is said that Eu-
ropean unrest is preferable to
Frances surrendering all her rights
and expectations i'm Morocco. Accord
ingly government opinion took a
strongly pessimistic turn today ana
foreshadowed the dissolution of the
conference without a definite decision
Concerning the possibility of Euro
pean unrest leading to eventual war
some information has been received in
high authorities. This shows that
Austria's place i'm the triple alliance
does not assure her taking up arms
against France, as 1t is definitely
known that the Hungarian troops
would not participate in an Austrian
movement against France, owing TO
Hungary not sharing Austria's support
of Germany on the Moroccan question.
The officials also are firmly convinced
that the underlying cause of Ger
many's course at Algeciras is desire
to break up the AnglO-French under
standing, but 1t is asserted that the
failure of the conference will leave
the Anglo French accord as strong as
ever. In this connection King Ed
wards coming passage through Paris
on his way to Blarritz causes comment
i'm the newspapers which assert that
the king will see the French president
and Premier Rouvier in order to give
renewed evidence of the vitality of the
Anglo French agreement

three days and nights until liberated

IN Deming. having come in from the
Mogollons by stage. Hannigan ap-
peared none the worse for his expert
ence and he told your correspondent
that he was feeling all right but that
he did not care to repeat the expert
ence as the night air in the mount
aims was bitter cold.
Hannlgan said that he had insuff-
cient covering and that the food
served him during his captivity was
meager and poorly cooked.
No Effort to Capture KidnappeP.
Hannigan's kidnappers have not
been caught and so far as is known
to your correspondent no effort has
| been made to capture them. The
men disappeared the morning the
ransom was paid and Hanngan was
| released, and have not been seen
| since. There are said to have been
two other men in the plot besides
Hoffman, although Hannigan saw no
one but Hoffman during his captivity.
The two men who are said to have as
sisted the kidnapper are both ex-con-
! viets.
II is the general opinion here, how
ever, that Hoffman acted alone and
that he was merely seeking restitution
for alleged wrongs which he did not
believe the courts could give him.

MAY MAKE RATE BILL
THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS
AIdrich to Recommend Early Con-
sideratiOn Of Hepburn Measure,
To Be No Delay,
Washington, Feb. "a. 1906.


The senate republican leaders have
made an informal poll of the senate
upon the statehood bill. and have
reached the conclusion that the For
aker amendment providing for ref
crendum vote in relation to New Mex
leo and Arizona, will be adopted. If
this proves true. there would be very
little opposition to the passage of the
bill
The leaders have been giving con-
sideration today to important pending
legislation including the railroad rate,
with a view to formulating a program.
It has been determined that on Mon
day there will be an informal con-
ference at which will be a proposition
to dsplace the statehood bill ami
make the railroad rate bill the unfin-
ished business. Under this plan the
discussion of the statehood bill will
not be interfered with for the reason
that 1T least two or three weeks will
the Hepburn rate bill. 1t would have
the effect, nevertheless. of dissipatng
any impression that might be gained
that because of the contest In the
committee on interstate commerce,
obstructive tactics would be used in
the senate to detain disposition of the
bill. As the leader of the republican
faction opposed to reporting the bill
without provision for judicial review
of orders of the interstate commerce
commission, Senator Aldrich intends
to make a brief statement of his views
and those entertained by other sena-
tors in the same faction. He said to-
day that he would recommend early
consideration of the bill. In addition
to this report a statement will be made
bySenators Doliverand Clapp, who at
tempted to have the bill reported fa-
vorably without amendment and with
out any reservation by members as
to their course in the senate. In this
statement they expect Senator Cullom,
who was absent when the vote was
taken, to join.
Compromise on Tariff.
compromise already has been
suggested by certain leaders on the
Philippine tariff bill To this meas
are as it was passed by the house
providing for reduction of the tariff
on sugar. tobacco. and rice to 25 per
cent of the Dingley schedules, great
opposition developed in the senate
committee. 1t is said that the COM
mittee stands to against the bill
but that one member Of the opposi-
ton. Senator Mason is willing to vote
to report the bill with the UNDER
standing that he would not be COM
mitted for the bill i'm the senate.

AggressiUe Campaign.

tral and the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg

directly or indirectly engaged in the mining of
bituminous coal, and if it be found that they
are engaged in this business he shall proceed

resolution for the appointment of three repre-
sentatives. two of whom shall be of the same
political party. and three Senator's that these
two committees, together with John Fahy T. D.
Nichols and William Dettrey, district presi-
dents of the United Mine Workers: NJ. J. Mona

delphia and Reading Railroad Company and of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
