PRIVATE MEETINGS CONTINUE.
Envoys Endeavor to Adjust Franco
German Differences.


Algeciras, Spain. Feb. 6. - The
French delegation at the Moroccan
conference was reinforced during the
morning by the arrival Of Count st.
Rene Taillandier. who was the French
minister at Fee during the Franco-Ger-
man crisis last summer. Count Tail
lander came over on the French
cruiser La Londe Of Tangier and
joined M. Revolt, head of the French
mission. Later the count had talks
with Ambassador White and other del
egates. His presence Is considered to
relate to the private discussions going
on between the delegates on the main
Franco-German issue.
Although the conference is not meet
ing formally private conferences are
constantly proceeding with the view
of adjusting the conflicting views. The
ambassadors say that the outlook con-
tinues hopeful. but they admit that the
efforts of the disinterested powers are
not yet resulting In securing an exact
basis for accord. The German dele
gates declare that the reports that
they are not In favor of moderate
policy are unwarranted and that 1t Is
they who are most desirous OF concil-
iation. The French, however, insist
that the Germans maintain an attitude
lacking In preciseness.

OPPOSES RATE REGULATION.
LIttlefeId (Me.) Speaks Against Pend
ina Measure.


Washington, Feb. 6.-An hour to op-
pose the railroad rate bill was yielded
to Mr.. Littlefield (Me.) In the house.
Mr.. Littlefield believed that the pic
lures Of distress painted by advocates
Of rate legislation we're entirely too
lurid. The railroads undoubtedly had
made mistakes, but conditions were
not intolerable On the other hand,
he said, the interstate commerce COM
mission had made many blunders. The
proposed legislation, he believed, went
too far and he should vote against 1t.
He had been willing to go as far as
the president had recommended In
1904 and 1905. Not q member Of the
house, he maintained, could say what
Is a reasonable rate. There Is not
single case In any court record or any
rule on which reasonable rate could
be defined. This was one OF the great
and tremendous difficulties the bill
presented and indicated the vast and
arbitrary power that was to be vested
In q political tribunal. In the zeal
with which both political parties were
running q legislative race they had
gone far beyond the presidents de-
sires. A remedy for nine-tenths of
rate evils, he said, now exists In all
courts, both under present law and
the common law.
Mr.. Stevens Mimi spoke In favor
Of the bill and Grosvenor co. fol-
lowed in opposition to the measure.

COLORADO SENATOR REFUSES TO
BE DICTATED TO BY DEMO-
CRATIC CAUCUS.
us RESOLUTION CAUSES SENSATION
ASSERTS ACTION TAKEN A PLAIN
VIOLATION OF FEDERAL
CONSTITUTION.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Mr. Patterson
(Colo) caused n sensation in the SEN
ate by introducing a resolution rela-
tive to the rights OF senators in voting
upon treaties.
Mr.. Patterson's resolution recited
that the action of the Democratic eau
Gus In debating to senators how they
should vote was plain violation OF
the spirit and intent OF the Constitu-
tlon Of the United States; that each
senator was entitled to one vote and
any attempt to coerce him was an In
vasion of the rights of state; that
any senator who permits himself to be
20 coerced weakens and degrades his
state; that for any senator to vote
otherwise than as his sense of duty
dictates degrades his high Office and
sssails the dignity and standing Of the
senate.
The resolution was listened to with
reat interest by the senators.
Mr.. Lodge had prepared resolution
similar to that OF Senator Patterson,
declaring that q treaty like the Domin-
lean should not be made the subject of
party action, but withheld 1t when he
heard that Mr.. Patterson had prepared
. resolution. This he heard from the
lips OF the Colorado senator, who
claimed the privilege of presenting the
matter. Mr.. Lodge conceded the su-
periority OF Mr. PattersOn's claim.
Mr.. Tillman objected to the present
consideration of the Patterson reso-
luton unless It was question OF per-
sonal privilege. Mr.. Patterson said 1t
Was not and gave notice that he would
discuss the resolution later.

COUNTESS De cAsTELLANE, FOR.
MERLY MISS GOULD, BRINGS
SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
EFFORTS At RECONCILIATION FAIL
SENSATIONAL STORIES CONNECT
COUNTS NAME WITH PARIS
SOCIETY WOMAN.

Paris, Feb. 6.-Countess Boni de
Castellane formerly Anna Could en-
tered a plea for divorce during the
day. Representative of the countess
and the count appeared before Judge
who. according to the French law, en-.
deavored to arrange Cancellation be-
fore allowing a definite suit to pro-
coed. It is said that the Judges efforts
were not successful and that the suit
will proceed, but owing to the secrecy
in divorce proceedings here 1t is diff
cult to confirm this report.
Rumors have been current for long
time that the countess had decided
that any further continuation Of her
relations with her husband was impos-
sible and her removal from the Cas-
tellanc residence to hotel In the CEN
ter of Paris gave support to the belief
that she had finally decided to apply
for a divorce. Sensational reports
have been circulated with reference
to the counts conduct and the name
of a prominent society leader of Paris,
a woman of very high standing, has
been mentioned In connection with
the affair. But the greatest reticence
has been maintained by all the par
ties concerned relative to the progress
of the negotiations looking to con-
ciliation. The count is said to be In
the southeast of France.

DEED OF JEALOUS LOVER.
Dayton (o.) Man Kills Woman an,

Dayton, o., Feb. 6.-Because she
wished to postpone her wedding day,
set for Wednesday, Mrs. Eva Kennedy
is dead, with bullet hole In her heart,
and Roy MendenhaIl Is at the hospital
with two self-inficted revolver wounds,
which will probably cause death.
Mrs. Kennedy and Mendenhall had
been engaged for some time. They
frequently quarreled, but always made
up. Sunday night Mrs. Kennedy
pleaded for a rostponement OF the
wedding, which the couple had
planned to take place Wednesday.
Mendenhall objected. The argument
led to a long, bitter quarrel. Early
Monday morning, in disappointed, jeal-
Gus rage, Mendenhall pressed revol-
yer to the woman's breast and ended
her life. He then turned the weapon
upon himself. inflicting two probably
fatal wounds.

Washington. Feb. 6.-John F. Wal
lace was before the senate inter-

day and made statement regarding
