AGREEMENT Is EXPECTED
Indications Point to Early Settlement
of Disputed Points Concerning the
Moroccan Reforms

Algeciras, March 10.-The spirit Of
conciliation was most marked at to-
days session of the conference on Nor
roccan reform. and produced a general
impression that settlement of the is
issues is only a matter of time and the
adjustment of details. Germany has
materially modified the conditions on
which she conceded a Franco-Span-
ish police force. but France still hesi-
tates to accept these conditions. The
indications are, however, that an ac-
ceptable middle ground will be found.
The days debate covered both the
questions of police and bank. Con-
cerning the bank, Germany declared
her willingness to concede three shares
to France, whereas France claimed
four but this difference promises to be
readily adjusted. Concerning the po-
lice, the German, French and Austrian
delegates made speeches. The state
ments of Herr Won Radowitz and
Count Welschersheimb produced a
most favorable impression. the dele
gates saying that a great step had
been made toward accord. NJ. Revoile's
remarks indicated that he expected a
speedy adjustment Of the police ques-
ton, which was the submitted to a
committee with a view of reconcfling
the few remaining differences.
The conference adjourned until
Tuesday, when it is hoped the work of
the committee will be concluded.

UNITED STATE SUPREME COURT
No Decision Yet Made as to Successor
to Associate Justice Brown.

Washington D. c., March 1O.-Secre-
tary Taft today made the following
statement.
'I am authorized by the president 10
say that he has made no decision as
to the selection Of any one to sue
ceed Mr.. Associate Justice Brown. RE
has been in consultation with Secre-
tary Root, Attorney General Moody
and myself the three lawyers of the
cabinet in the matter and no decision
has been reached"
It can be stated on authority that
Secretary Taft's attitude is this, while
his inclination has been in the direc-
ton of the judiciary, yet at this time
he would prefer that the president
reach some other solution in the Sc
lection of a successor to Justice Brown
which would leave him where he now
is, as he is desirous of pursuing the
work upon which he is engaged How
ever being a member of the presidents
official family if the president should
decide upon Mr.. Taft for this position
it is understood that he would accept
it. A number of names other than that
of Secretary Taft have been suggest
ed including Judge L. Urton of Ten
nessee, of the United States circuit
court.

IN REPLY TO THE MINERS
Answer of Operators to Their "Propo
sitions'' Said to be UnfavOrable.

New York, March 10.-President
John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, did not leave for
indianapolis tonight as has been an
nounced he would. Instead he hasti-
ly called together the other members
of the miners subcommittee of seven
having in charge. the negotiations
with the anthracite operators. The
unusual activity around the miners
headquarters, and Mr.. Mitchell's post
poned departure gave rise to a rumor
that the miners had received the re-
ply of the operators to their demands
or propositions" submitted the latter
part of February. 1t was also rumored
that the reply was unfavorable, al
though no confirmation on this point
could be obtained tonight, either from
the miners or operators. 1t is surmised
the negotiations between the anthracite
workers and the operators have reach
ed the crucial stage. The reticence of
all persons connected with the nego-
tiations is construed by those watch
ing the situation as distinctly un-
favorable sign.

stomach troubles, tested rigidly in
every case of heartburn, acute dys-
pepsia, wind on the stomach, loss of
ness, general weakness and debility, or
where the vital powers need restora-

subgallate, by all odds the very best
medicine known for intestinal dis
eases. 1t combines with the free sui
phur compounds in the bowels form
ing a black substance which is passed

also has a soothing effect upon the
nerve endings in the stomach.
With this is combined cerium OK
alate, a standard remedy in the treat
ment Of all irritation of the stomach
and digestive organs
Sodium bicarbonate is then added
to overcome the excessive acidity
and nux vomica for its general tonic
and nerve-strengthening powers
This combination of reliable RENE
dies makes Mi-o-na a positive cure
for all stomach troubles. and, per-
haps the only one that can be sold
under guarantee that it costs moth
ing unless it cures.
A large box of Mi-o-na tablets is
sold for SO cents by R. r. Bellamy

Reports reached here yesterday 20
the effect that the four mast schooner
Myrtle Turnell, Captain G. s. Jeffries,
had gone aground on the Frying Pan
shoals on Friday night and was il a
precarious condition. At 3 o'clock yes
serday morning the revenue cutter
Seminole went to the schooner's assis-
tance and few hours later the tug
Blanche followed. Nothing could be
learned last night as to what success
the cutter and tug had in floating the
schooner
The schooner Myrtle is owned by
George A Turnell, of Philadelphia.
and was bound from Brunswick Geor-
gia to Philadelphia with a cargo Of
cross4ttes. The vessels tonnage is
1874. The schooner was reported from
the Bald Head life saving station.
The vessel yesterday was reported
as having about five feet of water.
but this report was early yesterday
morning. She was being terribly pun
ished by a heavy sea that was running
and there was grave danger of her
miles inshore from the lightship.
The Navahoe Here
The Clyde Line steamship Navanoe
Is now living at her wharf at the foot
Grace street, having been towed up
yesterday by the tug Marion. She
could probably have come up under
her own steam. but having no an
chors it was thought best to have a
tug.
The NavahOe appears to have been
damaged but very little from her
weeks stay in the treacherous sands
OF the Cape Fear bar. It was one week
! ago last night since the Navahoe went
/ aground. The principal damage to the
NavahOe was in the loss of her an
chors but it is understood that these
will not be lost. Nothing has been
decided as to when the vessel will
proceed on her way to New YORK
Vessel Turned Back.
The schooner Alice J. Crabtree
came up to Wilmington late Friday
evening without stopping at the quar-
antine station and being from Fajar-
do, Porto Rico. she was at once Or
dered back to Southport and instruc-
tions sent to Wilmington by the sur
geon in charge of the Cape Fear quar-
antine station to. allow no one to
come on shore, nor for any one to
have ant communication whatever
with the vessel. The steamer Viii
mington towed the Crabtree back to
Southport Friday night and brought
her back yesterday. The law requires
that all vessels from tropical por:
must stop at quarantine.

New York, March 10-The Wall
Street Summary tonight says:
1.-THE recent rumor of possible alb
sorption of a controlling interest in the
Atlantic Coast Line Company of Con-
necticut, by Pennsylvania railroad in
terests, has been authoritatively de-
nied but while the actual prospective
purchaser was not the interest referred
to, it can be stated on very trust
worthy authority that a syndicate
composed of some of the most promi-
States recently made an offer of 81 LOCO
per share for 81 per cent or a control
ing interest Of the $1O,0OO,OOO stock of
the Atlantic Coast Line Company Of
Connecticut. This offer was declined
I'm order to arrive at the cOmbina
ton of railroads which would be COW
cred by the above purchase, the follow
ing statement of roads and mileage
included in the ownership of the At
lantic Coast Line Railway company,
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company, the Charleston and Western
Virginia Railroad Company and num-
erous other subsidiary lines in the
south by the Connecticut company is
given, indicating what the prospective
purchasers had in mind. Atlantic
Coast Line r. R., 1929 miles; Louis

1.-The above gives some idea Of the
reason why the syndicate of power
full railroad interests were willing to
pay $1,000 per share for controlling
block of the Atlantic Coast Line Of
Connecticut stock, and, incidentally,
why such an offer was declined"
