embody an accord in formal protocol.
The consummation of the work in the
conference was announced in the fol-

The conference has terminated its
labors and accord is established upon

text of the remaining article, regu-
lating the state bank and customs.
The final article, regulating the dis

Saffi, MagaZan and Rabat, and Spain

France and Spain together will po-

ment declined to appoint an officer.
The conference has appointed a spe-
cial committee to revise the texts of the

Of the opinion that the result is a sat-
isfactory one, not only because the
immediate future of Morocco is Sc
cured, but because the manner of the
settlement Is satisfactory both to
France and Germany and removes the
causes for friction and restores inter-
national relation to normal.
The principle for which Germany in
sisted, the integrity of Morocco and
equal commercial and economical rights
there, Mr.. White thought, were recog-
nized, while the special position claimed
by France was also acknowledged.

VIENNA, March 31.-Mrs. Bellamy
Storer wife Of the retiring American
ambassador, has reconsidered her de-
cision to maintain complete silence in
regard to the controversy caused by
her husbands recall. In the course
of an interview today with the Asso-
ciated Press she said:
After consultation and following
the advice of many of our friends. par
ticularly that of the Marquis de Rever-
seaux, the French ambassador, l have
decided to formally deny that l ever
abused a letter of President Roosevelt
as has been asserted. The president
has never written me on the subject
of Archbishop Ireland, except in a
letter last December upon another
subject Mr.. Roosevelt, when gov
ernor of New York, wrote me in 1900,
to which the report presumably al
ludes.
"This letter was written to me SO
that 1 might show it to Cardinal
Rampolla, then papal secretary of
state, in order to convince the Vatican
of the friendly attitude of prominent
Americans toward Archbishop Ire
lands policy. 1t was all done to help
our government in its relations with
the Philippines.
Sent Half of Letter
"I sent Cardinal Rampolla copy of
only half of the letter because the
other half was purely personal. That
Is all I wish to say about the matter.
Neither my husband nor myself Is
going to indulge in recriminations
against the president. We will wait
and see what the authorities at Wash
ngton think right to publish under
the matter
"If they publish their reasons for the
recall of Mr.. Storer we have many
proofs of the right being on our side"
The letter of Mr.. Roosevelt, who was
then governor of New York, dated
1900, is as follows:
Mr.. Roosevelt's Letter
"I have Just received your letter. L
need not say what a pleasure 1t would
be for me to do anything for Arch
bishop Ireland. You know how high
a regard | have always felt for him.
He represents the type of Catholicism
which, in my opinion, must prevail In

church is to attain its full measure of
power and usefulness with our peo-

Taft says to you in his letter in March
20, with relation to that part of this
problem which affects the Philip
pines, but the problem as whole af-
fects the United States as a whole
"a reactionary or in any way anu
American spirit in ecclesiastical affairs
would in America in the long run re-
suit in disaster just as certainly as
similar course in political affairs.
Bgoted Opponents
1T may add that the bigoted op-
ponents of Catholicism are those most
anxious to see triumph within the ranks
of Catholicism this reactoinary spirit
and the throwing out of men who have
shown broad liberalism and American
ism in their policy.
"Of course, | do not feel justified in
interfering in any way, directly or in
directly, in the matter at the Vatican,
but it is only fair, in response to your
letter. that / should wrie you fully
and frankly of my great appreciation
of Archbishop Ireland and of my firm
conviction that the real future of the
Catholic church in America rests with
those who in the main work along his
lines.
You may be interested to know of
the large percentage of Catholics, with
out exception, men standing as high
in capacity as in integrity, whom L
have placed OH various important COM
missions in this state.

so much for that part of my letter
that is in direct answer in the main
of yours. l do not know whether it will
be of any assistance or not, but hope
so. | need not tell you that it is a
pleasure to write it or to do anything
else you desire me to do if it is in
my power.
you must have a very hard time in
Madrid, and l earnestly hope that the
signal devotion to the good of the
country which you and Bellamy have
shown, will result in it's perpetual re-
gard and in your being transferred
in the not distant future to Rome, or,
better still, Paris"
Mr.. Roosevelt's letter then refers to
his efforts to avoid the nomination for
the vice presidency and concludes, with
love to Bellamy, faithfully yours, Theo-
dore Roosevelt"

PITTSBURG, March 31.-Following
a turbulent all-day session the Pitts
burg district miners convention ad-
journed this evening to meet again on
Monday, after appointing a new wage
committee of four with full authority
to sign up all operators who are will
ing to pay the 1908 scale.
This committee will meet Chairman
Francis l.. Robbins of the Pittsburg
Coal company by appointment on Mon
day, when Mr.. Robbins will sign the
scale for two years.
This action means that there will be
no strike in the Pittsburg district, so
far as the miners employed by the
Pittsburg Coal company are concerned.
While the mines will be closed Monday,
which day is set aside in commemor-
alton of the eight-hour workday, all
the works of this company will resume
operations on Tuesday
1t is believed that a majority of the
independent operators will eventually
sign the 1903 scale but not until after
their meeting which is scheduled for
the latter part of next week.
Smash Interstate Agreement
The independents say the action of
the indianapolis convention in adopting
the Perry resolution has forever
smashed the interstate agreement and
that the check-off system can no longer
be permitted at the mines. Mr.. Rob-
bins says this is not necessarily so as
the privileges offered under the resolu-
ton are general.
The scale committee appointed today
is evenly divided between the Dolan
and anti-Dolan factions.
Bennett Brown, representing several
large mines in Illinois, made personal
application to John Mitchell today to
be allowed to sign the new contracts.
