FRENCH CONFERENCE DELEGATES
ARE INSTRUCTED TO STAND PAT
As CrlsisApprOacheS Moral Advantage
Of France Is Strengthened,
Germany's Position
Weakens.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE public uneasi-
ness over the Moroccan conference
has undergone a distinct improve
ment. This is due mainly to the con-
fident attitude of the officials of the
foreign office who consider the selec-
ton by the italian government of the
Marquis Vlscohti Venosta to head its
delegation as strengthening the posi-
tion of France. 1t is evident that the
officials hold the view that if France
can secure the support of great pow
ers having tangible interests in the
Mediterranean and Morocco it will be
difficult for Germany to stand against
the force of this moral influence.
Therefore Italys choice of the Mar
quis Visconti Venosta, who was one
of the earliest advocates of the Fran
co-Italian entente strengthens the
governments expectation of the unit
ed support of the leading Mediterran~
can powers.
The martial tone of the press ha
considerably diminished, and the ser
sational branch of it no longer prints
alarmist reports of frontier prepara-
tions. Nevertheless the public and
press continue pointing, though with
greater calmness toward the impera-
tive need of completing military pre-
parations.
Now that the French delegates are
preparing to start for Algeciras, there
is evidence of the greatest firmness in
uphoIding the French position, the es-
sential feature of which is that France
through her geographical proximity to
Morocco, which Is analogous to that of
the position of the United States tow
ard Cuba and through her vast Alger-
ian borders, is justly entitled to have
a privileged position in Morocco.
Germany while yielding much has
never clearly yielded the claim of
France to special position in Morocco.
n the French position is upheld, the
conference, 1t is expected will charge
France with police, customs and 9TH
er duties. Against this Germany will
seek international control of police.
customs and other matters, thus CIV
ing all nations, including Germany the
same status in Morocco as that of
France.
The French delegates will start
without the slightest thought of yield
ing or in compromising the essential
principles of Frances position and
therein lies the danger of the Franco
German outlook,
The Berlin correspondent of the
Temps says that Germany following
the action of the United States and
Great Britain is sending a squadron
to Algeciras The paper says thai
France thus far has not ordered 9
squadron to the neighborhood of the
conference, 1t adds that the British
squadrons comprising the channel
home and cruiser squadrons will rem
devious in Cadiz Bay near Algeciras
In the middle of February.

This motion by the supreme court is

out of the division of the county at
the time Sandoval county was formed.

Bernalillo county, lived across the line
of the new county. When the division
was made he was considered to be mi
nus an office as a nonresident of the
county, though he hastily moved to
Albuquerque a day or two too late.
The governor appointed George f. AL

office and Judge Baker # the district

was taken to the New Mexico supreme
court which affirmed the decison

LABOR FOR THE CANAL
PROPOSALS FOR FURNISHING
COOLIES BEING Examined.

The officials Of the isthmian canal COM
mission are busily engaged in examining
the proposals recently submitted by con-
tracing firms for furnishing Chinese labor
for work on the canal at Panama. Because
of the peculiar conditions surrounding the
importation and employment of aliens in
this work. complicated in part by the adj
justment Of some international features
which probably will arise, several weeks
must necessarily elapse before any conciu-
sions are reached and the contract awarded.
Some doubt is expressed whether con-
tractors will be able to carry out any con-
tract which may be awarded for supplying
coolie labor. Preferably because Of climatic
conditions the isthmian commission desires
that any laborers sent to the isthmus shall
come from the southern provinces of China.
Former Experience Of Chinese.
In that section reports received at the
Chinese legation show that not single
Chinese newspaper favors the emigration
Of Chinese to Panama. as the experiences
of those who went there for the French
canal company are still fresh In the minds
Of the people. The Chinese were unable to
Withstand the conditions then existing. and
It is said that about 20 per cent OF those
who went there died. This mortality was
due largely to the unhealthy sanitary sur
rOuUQ1U&S Cuen prevailing on LIE ASeAAhuSs
which. however, have been vastly improved
under the American administration Of af-
fairs, Petitions from Chinese residents in
Peru, San Francisco and at Panama have
been sent to the government at Picking ask
ing that 1t refuse its sanction to any prop
ositiou to permit contract laborers to go
from China to Panama.
Chinese Authorities Passive.
Thus far. however. the Chinese author
tiles have remained entirely passive In the
matter and have not made any representa-
t.ons to the United States. Several years
ago the Chinese were sounded by the State.
Department as to their attitude with re-
spect to sending coolfe labor to Panama, to
which polite but unfavorable reply was
received. Since the present situation has
arisen, however, no representations have
been made by the State Department to the
Chinese government on the subject In any
form. The suggestion has been made that
| If the Chinese government interposes an
objection to permit the departure Of coolies
