THE MOROCCAN ISSUE
No Crisis Yet Reached at Al
geciras Meeting.
THE DISCUSSION PROCEEDS
France and Germany at Bed Rock on
Two Questions.
POLICE CONTROL AND FINANCES
American and Other Delegates Are
Still Confident Of Successful
Result.

ALGECIRAS. Spain, February 13.-The
reports circulating in European capitals
that crisis has been reached at Algeciras
are not warranted by the actual conditions
here The negotiations on the police and
nnance questions are proceeding I'M
interruptedly. but have reached a bedrock
point on which neither the French nor the
German delegates show any disposition to
yield.
This frmness on both sides has caused
some apprehension of an eventful deadlock
but the delegates. so long as the negotia-
tons continue, will not admit that a crisis
has been reached
Inquiry today among the American and
other delegates showed that they are con-
fdent of a successful result
The delegates deprecate the alleged at
tempts of the German press to persuade the
public that If the conference fails 1t will be
the fault of France and Great Britain.

Death of Zionist Young Woman From

CHICAGO. February l9.-Estella Smith.
Zion City school principal to save whose
life after she had been burned by the ex-
plosion OF a lamp thousands OF prayers
were offered by the followers OF Apostle
Dowie. died early today in intense agony.
No physician attended her.
]. l.. Taylor, who in the absence of ]. IL.
Bowen is acting coroner, will hold an In
vestigation this afternoon. at which an ef-
fort will be made to fix the blame for the
girls death. The fact that no physician
was summoned will be a special cause of
inquiry. The girl, who was q Zionist, a
firm believer in the power OF prayer to heal
all physical Ills, had no medical atten-
fion
After IL was seen that her life was IN
great danger and though she was suffering
the most excruciating pain. the Zion city
authorities refused to call physician. In
stead the followers of D3wie were ordered
10 pray that the girls life might be saved
and thousands OF petitions were sent up In
the hope of relieving her agony.

Demand Sunday Rest.

CHICAGO, February 13-Employes of
the traction lines in Chicago began an
agitation yesterday to secure week with
a Sunday in it." AS rule, the men now
work seven days a week. Occasionally
they are allowed twenty-four hours rest
in fortnight, but such vacation is ir-

cent or more of the employees on the

A bill was passed creating a new dtvis-
ION of the western judicial district OF
Texas
Mr.. Gillespie of Texas offered what he
said was privileged resolution calling
on the Postmaster General to furnish the
House at his earliest convenience COM
parative statement showing the cost to the
government for transporting the mails per
ton per mile by the railroads and the cost
of transporting express matter per ton per
mile.
Mr. Payne said the resolution was not
privileged. because 1t would entail an IN,
yestigation; that the Postmaster General
could not be presumed TO have information
as to express rates.
Mr.. Gillespie held that If the Postmaster
General did not have the information on
hand he would simply report that fact
Mr.. Williams understood the resolution
TO ask nothing but the cost paid by the
government, information. he said, which
the department must necessarily have on
hand.
Speaker Cannon ruled that the resolution
was not privileged, which prevented its
further consideration.

suggestion which at once elected lively in
terest and volley OF questions. He had
reviewed the annual expenditures or the
government, amounting to something like
$500, coo, 900, and said that although each
department had its own auditors. Congress
had no independent and detailed informa-
ton as to these expenditures
The ten House committees on expendi-
lures in the different departments he sug-
gested. ought to be vitalized by an amend
ment of the rules and required TO make de-
tailed reports annually. with such reports,
he predicted. there would be fewer oil

out of contingent funds

1881 had been s119, 102. 4S3. Although the
plan of the Taft board had not been made
public, he could state unofticially that 1t
contemplated a further expenditure OF sIoo.-
