GERMANS RECEDE
FRANCE GAINING
Middle Position Likely to Be Agreed
Upon-Teutons Also Become Less
Arbitrary on Banking
Share Question
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ALGECIRAS, March 1O.-The spirit
of conciiation was most marked at
Moroccan reform and produced a gen.
eral impression that settlement of the
issues Is only a matter of time and
the adjustment of details.
Germany has materially modified the
conditions on which she conceded a
Franco-Spanish police force, but
France still hesitates to accept these
conditions. The indications are, how
ever, that an acceptable middle ground
will be found.
The days debate covered both the
questions of police and the bank. Con-
corning 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
police the German, French and Aus
trian delegates made speeches.
Accepts Austrian Provision
Herr Won Radowitz, head of the
German delegates, said that he accept
ed the Austrian provision. Count We'll
shersheimb, the Austrian delegate, ex-
planned his project as offering a fair
middle ground. The statements of
Herr Won Radowitz and Count We'll
sherheimb produced a most favorable
impression, the delegates saying that
great step had been made toward
accord.
M. Revolt, the French delegate, main
tanned that the ports ought to have the
same administration and that there
fore it was advisable to divide them
accordingly to the Austrian plan. M.
RevoiPs remark indicated that he ex-
pected a speedy adjustment of the
police question, which was then sub
mitted to a convention with a view of
reconciling the few remaining difficult
ties. The conference adjourned until
Tuesday, when it is hoped the work
of the committee will be concluded.

An explosion of fire damp at

destruction throughout the network

The scene of the catastrophe is the
mountainous mining region near Lens
in the department of Pas-de-Calais.
Here are huddled small hamlets OF the
mine workers who operate the most
productive coal mines in France. The
subterranean chambers form a series
of tunnels.
Six of the outlets are near Lens and
others at Courrieres, Verdun and
other points. The output of these
mines is particularly combustible and
is largely used in the manufacture of
gas and in smelling. About 1000 miners
work the group of mines and with
their families make a population of
from 5000 to 5000 souls.

of Possible Candidates
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Secre-
tary Taft today made the following
statement:
Il am authorized by the president
to say that he has made no decision
as to the selection of anyone to sue
ceed Associate Justice Brown. He has
been in consultation with Secretary
Root, Attorney General Moody and
myself, and three lawyers of the cab
met in the matter, and no decision has
been reached"
While Secretary Taft's inclination
mas been in the direction of the judici-
ary, yet at this time he would prefer
that the president reached some other
decision in the selection of q successor
to Justice Brown.
He is intensely interested in the con-
struction of the Panama canal, the
Philippines and the army. He would
like for the present to devote his SER
vices to these subjects. However, if
the president should decide upon Mr..
Taft for this position, it is understood
he would accept it. Other names than
that of Secretary Taft have been sug-
gested in connection with the vacancy
These are Judge Swaze of the su-
preme court of New Jersey, Judge
Gray of Delaware, Representative
Harper of New Jersey, Judge Sanborn
of Minnesota, Solicitor General Hoyt,
Lloyd Bowers of Chicago, general coun-
sci for the Northwestern railroad;
Judge Vanderventer of Wyoming, of
the United States circuit court, and
Judge Lurton of Tennessee, also of
the United States circuit court.

MAY RUN SHORT OF IRON
This Is Prediction of Consul General
Mason of Paris
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 1O-Consul
General Mason of Paris, in a report
United States is likely to run short of
tinued yearly absorption of $4,000, 900
tons, which is more than one-third of
the worlds total consumption.
He suggests the sale of American
coal to Europe in exchange for iron,
especially over the prospective ad-
vance of British coal prices. The
world has only ten billion tons of iron
ore available, Germany, Russia and
France each possessing more than this
country.
In comparison of coal qualities the
consul states that the advantage of
North America over European coun-
tries is overwhelming and that what is
now known as the 2S,000,000 tons annual
output of American bituminous coal
can be maintained for hundreds of
years without exhaustion, while the
European coal fields are running out
On the other hand, the formost
British metal journal predicts an iron
famine in about half century.
Special Agent Burrill, in a report to
the department of commerce and labor,
describes the trade conditions in South
China, stating that it will take time
to recover from the effects of the boy
cott AS yet the only movement of
American goods at Hongkong is con-
fined almost exclusively to the for
eign firms and for transshipment to
French China and points beyond.

NOTED GERMAN EDITOR
AND STATESMAN DEAD
HERR EUGENE RICHTER PASSES
AWAY IN BERLIN
Lonq Known as the Radical Leader
in the Reichstae and One OF the
Most lmplacable of Bisnarcks
Opponents
RY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 10.-Eugene Richter,
Radical leader in the reichstag since
its foundation, Bismarcks old op-
ponent and for a long time editor OF
the Freisinnige Zeitung, died at a
o'clock this morning.
Near the close of 1904 Richter sud
denly retired from the Frelsinnlge
Zeitung, which he founded, and at the
same time refused to appear In the
reichstag. He then was in feeble
health and threatened with the loss of
his sight.
Herr Richter, who had been enfeebled
by an illness of two years duration
and who had been blind for year,
died Of heart trouble. He was the last
notable parliamentary journalistic fg-
IRE of the reformative period OF the
empire.
It always was a surprise to his ad-
mirers that Herr Richter's Immense
talents as an organizer, parliamentary
tactician, popular agitator and mex
orable analyst of public questions in
rot raised him to greater influence IN
the country. Those close to him said
he was a man of chimeras and mega
tions, seeking to attain for Germany
the British responsible ministry sys-
tenn, while attacking every construc-
tive measure He was Prince Bis
marck's passionate opponent. The
great chancellor felt so keenly Herr
Richters attacks on him in the reich
stag that he wanted to fight a duel
with his tormentor, and finally the
chancellor always left the house when
Richter rose to speak.

STATEHOOD BILL
IS S|DETRACKED D
HOUSE MEMBERS STAVE OFF
THEIR ACTION
Positive That Representatives viii
Not Concur in Amendment of
the Senate Eliminating New
Mexico and Arizona
BY Associated Press

by ASSOCldteu FTeSS
WASHINGTON, March 10-The
statehood question will not be taken
up by the house until the return of
the members of the rivers and har-
bors' committee who are making a
trip of inspection through the south.
These members will not return until
March 10. Before they left an agree
ment was reached that nothing should
be done with statehood until their re-
turn.
House leaders who represent the adj
ministration view of the statehood
problem are positive that the house
will not concur in the amendment Of
the senate eliminating Arizona and
New Mexico from the bill The posi-
tive assertion is made by the "stal-
warts" that the insurgents have not
gained a single vote since the bill left
the house. and consequently will be
unable TO carry a motion to concur in
the senate amendments to the measure.
When the bill comes over from the
senate the program contemplates mo-
tion to disagree and ask for a confer
ence. This motion will be made by Mr..
Hamilton. 1t is believed that Mr..
Babcock will interpose a motion to
concur in the senate amendments.
The vote will come on this motion
first, and the result of the vote will
reveal the strength of the respective
sides.
Those opposing statehood for Ari-
zona and New Mexico in the house have
maintained all along that If oppor-
tunity was given for a direct vote on
the specific question and not as was
the case on the necessity of defeating
rule direct from the speakers room,
that they had plenty of votes to de-
feat joint statehood.

IN BLIND SEWER
THREE MEN WHO GO TO RESCUE
OVERCOME BY GAS
Thousands of San Francisco Citizens
Attracted to Scene of Under

moved With Difficulty
BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO. March TO-
Michael Haley, who was sent from a
plumbers establishment today to clean
out a blind sewer, was killed by the
fumes of gas, and several men who
attempted to rescue him narrowly
escaped a similar fate.
After Haley had remained in the
sewer for half an hour, John j. Crook,
who had employed him. was notified
that something was wrong. Crook en-
tered the sewer. found Haley's body
200 feet from the entrance and at
tempted to drag it to a manhole. When
near the open air he became uncon-
scious.
Frank Vivian, a plumbers helper,
who was at the opening, sprang to
Crooks rescue and fell senseless as he
inhaled the dread damp. Fred Elke
dragged both men from the pit and
then tainted from the poisonous gas
he inhaled.
After two and a half hours effort
the body of Haley was taken from
the sewer by James Flonts and James
Dunn, who entered the sewer with
ropes attached to their bodies. They
gave prearranged signal and were
drawn to the surface by many volun-
teers. Thousands of people were at
tracted to the scene Of the underground
tragedy.

PEKING, March 10.-The settlement
of the responsibility for the massacre
of French Catholic and English Prot
estant missionaries at Nanchang, capi-
tai of the province of Kiangsi, Feb
ruary "a, promises to be difficult and
continues to excite almost unprece-
dented interest.
The Chinese profess to believe that
a Catholic priest stabbed the local
magistrate, while the foreigners are
equally certain that the magistrate
committed suicide as a protest against
the Catholic demands and for the pur-
pose of arousing the people.
Such an act is in no wise unusual
with the Chinese. The government is
dispatching Taotai Liang, director of
railways, to inquire into the case.
Liang was educated abroad and has
had much dealing with foreigners, but
it is admitted that he has delicate
position. If his report favors the
Christians further trouble is expected.
The inhabitants of Nanchang are still
hostile and demand that the French
pay funeral honors to the deceased
magistrate. The officials of Nam
chang protest against the presence of
foreign gunboats, fearing that they will
provoke hostilities.

Streets Because of
Victory
BY Associated Press.


PHOENIX, Ariz., March 10.-Phoenix
is tonight holding her jubilee celebra-
ton over the passage of the amend
ments to the statehood bill in the SEN
ate yesterday.
A large procession is parading the
streets, bonfires are burning and pow
der is exploding. Bands are playing
and the whole atmosphere is one or
enthusiastic demonstration.
Numberless transparencies bearing
cartoons and appropriate inscriptions
are in line. expressive of the sentiments
of the people. The parade will end at
the city plaza where there will be
long program of short speeches.
The people of the territory appre-
ciate that there is yet to run the
gauntlet of the house concurrence, and
the celebrations while tinged with the
fear that there may yet be trouble, are
made for the sole purpose of showing
to the world that the sentiments of the
people are almost unanimously in ac-
cord with the action of the senate
which it is sincerely hoped will be sus-
tanned by the house.
And in the praise and thanksgiving
there is no lack of gratitude to those
who have wrought the present VIC
tory.
