Attributed to Roosevelt.

Paris, March 22.-The suggestion of a mixed police at all ports, including Casa Blanca on which the hopes of an eventual solution of the Moroccan difficulty are founded. emanated from President Roose- welt according to the Temps Algeciras correspondent, who says:
 Instead of giving France the sole con- trol of a certain number of ports, and to Spain like control of an equal num- her of ports, 1t is suggested to appoint an equal number of French and Span ish officers at each port. Rivalry or the acquisition of special spheres of Influence If is urged would thus be avoided. The suggestion is President Roosevelt's, who considers that such combination is most conformable to the principles laid down by the conference The intention of this proposed solution may be attractive but 1t is not practical, and Is full of dan ger"
 Commenting upon this dispatch the Temps gives President Roosevelt full credit for desire to preserve the purely Franco-S Spanish character of the police mandate. and exclude therefrom such a restrictive combination as the proposal to place Casa Blanca under third power, but points out that 1t is propo- sitlon which would appear to appeal to the conference no more than the Casa Blanca scheme and will not be acceptable to either France or Spain.
 Personal difficulties between French and Spanish officers. the papers say. would undermine the effective character of the police organization, and leave the Moroc- can government an opening to take ad- vantage of the petty personal rivalries of the officers in order to prevent con ditlon of anarchy.

NEW SCHEME FOR
 MOROCCAN TROUBLE.
President Roosevelt Responsible
 for Latest Plan
WOULD DIVIDE THE POWERS
Proposes to Have an Equal Number of Spanish and French Officers at Each Fort In
 Morocco.

Algeciras, March 22.-Herr von Rado- witz. the senior German representative at the conference on Moroccan reforms, was slightly lndisposed today, and as a consequence the meeting of the dele gates which was to have been held to- day was postponed until Saturday, when the new Austrian police proposition Will be presented. Ambassador White, Sir Ar thur Nicholson and Count Welzersheim, respectively the American, British and Austrian delegates, were in conference during the day, but with what result has not been made known, all the gentlemen named maintaining the strictest reserve.
 There is a decided impression, how ever, that it was very satisfactory and confidence is felt that the way is being paved for an early adjournment.
 It is understood that the fresh Aus trian proposals formed the subject of the discussion, and though the nature of the proposals had not been officially state, it Is believed they contain revised suggestion for mixed police at Moroc- can ports, including Casa Blanca. Thus, instead of French officers controlling four ports, and spaniards four others. an equal number of French and Spanish officers will act together at each port.
 It is uncertain who will take the initia- tive in placing the scheme before the conference. MT. White is actively further ing the suggestion, but it is possible the necessity of his using his direct influence before the conference may not arise.
 The French and Spanish delegates do not make any direct objection to the plan, but allege that it will prove inef- ficacious in practice

Last Letter Written bl President
 Mccall Made Public
HE GAVE NO ACCOUNTING
When Hamilton Was Employed He In- sisted That No Questions Be Asked Concerning Money
 He Spent.

New York. March PA letter which former President John A Mccall of the New ork Life Insurance company wrote on the day before his death, in which he stated the conditions under which he employed Andrew Hamilton as legislative agent of that company, was made pub lie today. It was directed to Alexander E. Orr, president of the New York Life Insurance company, and dated February 16, last It was written at a moment when MT. Mccall evidently realized that he could not live and defend himself from the charge of making an improper ar engagement with Hamilton. The letter Is as follows:
 My Dear MT. Orr-I am conscious that I have but a slight chance to recover, and I am desirous that you and the com pany officials through you shall have no thought of the nature and character of the employment of Andrew Hamilton if 1 am not here to be heard when the time arrives to have it made known.
 He was employed by me in 1895 on be- half of the company to attend especially to matters of taxation and legislation in the United States and other countries af- fecting the company's interests.
 He refused to accept the duty unless it was made confidential and secret, and that no accounting of moneys advanced to him should be asked of him, or rem dered by him, and l assented to the propo- sition.
 He told me that this condition he would impose as an absolute one. and unless it was accepted he would not un- dertake the work.
 Whether my action was legal or not, it will be left for others to say. I believed that it was, and that I was clothed with full power so to act, and that the in- terests of the company and the policy holders demanded steps of this nature be taken. but aside from the main reason for my present writing, is that there may remain no doubt as to what my statement would be if were here, and as to the nature and character of Judge Hamilton's retainer and contract. Sin cerely yours, JOHN A. M'CALL."

St. Petersburg, March 22.-The sympathy of the Emperor.

Make Friends In America.

From the standpoint of general policy, the project is considered more than de- sirable. The investment of foreign capital and especially American. in an enterprise so important for Russia, will certainly tend to an economic. financial and politi- cal Russo-American rapprochement 1t will also contribute to the creation of greater confidence in our foreign policy, which sensibly suffered by recent events. By interesting Americans we will be the better able to combat the injurious agita- tion against Us which produced so much harm before the Japanese-Russian war. believe the projected railroad would serve to paralyze any aggressive movement against us in the far east. Everything which can help to place us in more independent position with regard to Ja- pan and China. cannot fall to strengthen Russia both In the far east and in Europe

Many Benefits Would Result.

In addition 10 the benefits which will accrue to the nation by the development of the resources of the present waste of northeastern Siberia, the imperial fam fly owns an immense extent of land which will be benefited. The national defense committee also considers the project as essential from a strategic point of view and more important still there is in the higher government circles a distinct dis position to cultivate the United States as Russa's natural ally in the far east. It is believed by interesting Americans ma terially in Siberia, the political ties be- tween the two countries will be strength ened. statement to this effect has been submitted by Foreign Minister I,amsdorff to the committee under the presidency of Zeigler von Shaffhausen, minister of ways and communications, which has been con sidering the project, which statement really amounts to an important declara- tion of foreign policy as is evident from the following extract:
