MINISTERS CONFER
FRENCH CABINET DISCUSSES MO-
 ROCCAN MATTERS.
Decision Not to Participate in Foreign Affairs Budget Tuesday is Re- garded BIS q Somewhat Un-
 hopeful sisn.

Paris, March. 1s.-There was a spe- cial meeting of the cabinet ministers today in connection with the Algeciras conference at w lich the situation was fully gone over, Foreign Minister Bourgeois explaining the exact stand points of France and Germany.
 Although no statement has been given out relative to Frances future line of action, an announcement of M. Bourgeois that the ministry will not participate in the debate on the for eign affairs budget Tuesday, is regard ed as a somewhat unhopeful sign.
 This decision. coming after con- ference Saturday evening between the foreign minister and Prince yon Pado- lin, the German ambassador to France. is considered to show that the Meroc- can knot has not yet been united and that the end of the conference is not in sight. but hopes are still undiminished that the delegates will find solution of the difficulties.
 rendered more difficult owing to the cipal Journals which oppose conces- sious. The Temps takes the lead in this respect, saying that France has reached her ntnsFt liplSt relative to both the police and bank questions, and this view has the support of a very influential body Of opinions. Therefore. M. Bourgeois hestitates to show signs of willingness to com promise the matter by give and take method. as he knows any future yielding to the German claims will render the ministry unpopular to the last degree.

MURDER OF MOROS
PARI1HURST SCORES PRESIDENT
 FOR HIS CABLEGRAM.
COnErafulatiOn of Wood by Roosevelt, Says the Preacher, is the Sad- dest Feature of the SIaugh-
 ter of FiIiPinOs.

New York, March 1S.-In his sermon on the relations of so-calIed Christian nations that are pagan, the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst referred today to the recent killing of Moros and Pres ident Roosevelts congratulatory dis- patch to General Wood.
 Consider" he said, "the easy and self-satisfied way In which We regard the moving down of the savage and seni-savage in the Philippine Islands, hen they stand in the way of the national purpose, of which, after eight years of benevolent assimilation, we have just had q most startling and heartrending example in the lombard ing to death of 500 men. women and children collected in crater in the Moro Islands
 There are two things to be said about the Subilent congratulations sent by the chief executive to General Wood The first is in reference to the desig- nation of the performance as a bril- liant feat of arms Easing our esti- mate on the report rendered by Gen eral Wood, it was no more brilliant feat of arms thal smoking bees out of hive or rats out of a nest.
 But a sadder feature of the execu- tive communication to General Wood Is that it contained not one word of sympathy, not one note of tender dis tress in view of the lndlscrimlnate slaughter perretrated in honor of the American flag We have been taught to believe and we like to believe that he President has a great heart.
 And so I prefer to think of that cablegram. composed as 1t was in the presence practically of mangled men. torn women, armless and headless chill dren. I prefer to think of it not as being the expression of the man Roose- welt but of President Roosevelt in whom officially the hCartlessness and the greed of unregenelate nationality Is functIonally represented
 with the exception of the mainten ance i'm the south of negro slavery there had been, should say. nothing saddcr in ow history than the national attitude in which we today stand to- ward the little brown people of the Philippine Islands,

TALKED RATE BILL
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S HAVE IN-
 FORMAL CONFERENCE.
TilIman Says That the Minority Pr0- babIy Will Agree to Support Nom Suspension When Amendment
 Is Presented.

Washington. March 1S.-Senator New lands of Nevada today entertained sew enteen of his Democratic colleagues at luncheon at his suburban home. the object being to exchange views on the the railroad bill before the Senate. Practically the entire afternoon was spent in discussing the bill. Talk coTiverged almost entirely around the attitude the Democrats should assume toward the question of a suspension or non-suspension of the rates to be fixed by the interstate commerce commission in any case arising before it pending a review of the issue on an appeal to the courts.
 With the exception of two or three senator's" said Senator Tillman, who is in charge of the bill on the floor of the Senate "all those present were favora- ble to a provision for a nOn-suspension of the rates and, I think. that all the Democrats will come around to the idea of voting for non-suspenston when the issue is presented"
 C.ther senators admitted that the dis cussion showed that the Democrats are about as divided In their views on the question of amendments as their Republican colleagues.
 Senators who were present said the gathering was entirely informal. There was no attempt to come to any conclu- plan of action was outlined for tho future.
 Those present at the luncheon were Senators Bailey, Blackburn. Clay, Gull person, Dubois, Foster. Frasier, Pettus, Rayner. Simmons, Stone, Tillman, Lati- mer, McCreary. Martin, Overman and Patterson.

THE ATLANTA BURNS.
Lake steamer and It's Cargo De.
 strUyed.


 sheboygan. Wis, March 1s.-The Goodrich steamer Atlanta, which left this port for Milwaukee at 10 o'clock this morning. was burned to the wa ter's edge, twelve miles south of She boygan and about five miles out.
 The Atlanta Is valued at about sl50,- 900 and the boat and cargo arc. total loss.
 The Atlanta had a crew of sixty men and only two passengers. The lire was discovered about 1i;I5 o'clock by smoke from the hold and the blaze was located with great difficulty. The crew were set to work fighting the flames at once and the fight was kept up until i o'clock when Captain McAuley de- clded To abandon the ship. The crew and two passengers were put of on the IIfe boats and were picked up by the tug Tessler without trouble, us there was no sea running.
 About this time tho steamer Georgia hove fin sight and relieved the Tesslar of her load of passengers. The Geor- aia proceeded to this port, leaving the Atlanta a total wreck close to the beach for which she had been run.
 The origin of the fire is mystery to the officers of the boat. but It IS thought that 1t may have been started by careIessly thrown cigar. But one life was lost in the wreck. Mike Hickey, a deck hand, who was drowned in try- ing to escape from the flames.

Innrrnan of Imnorts.

Washington, March 18.-Europe takes two-thirds of the exports of the United States and supplies practically one-half of the imports. says bulle- tin issued by the Department of Com meroe and Labor. Of the $1,021 000. 900 worth of merchandise sent to Europe in 1905 $239. .OOO 900 was manufactures. tbe other S7S2, 100000 worth being largely foodstunfs and manufac- tures materials. In 1900 the exports to Europe crossed the billion dollar line and since then have aVerag- ed about SI. O50 100000 per annum. In tgo0. the experts to all sections of the world other than Europe were SS54. .000,- OO0 in value. in 1905 they were s49S. O00. 900, the growth since 1900 in ex ports to the non- European countries having been approximately greater than that to Europe. Prior to 1890 the share of the import drawn from Europe averaged about 55 per cent. in 1905 1t was 4s.5 per cent. This reduction, the bulletin says. Is apparently accounted for by tn 3 growing demand in the Unit ed states for tropical ard sub-tropicaI products which are supplied almost exclusively by the other grand divisions of the world.
 The value of these products brought into the United States in 1905 was S50S. GOO, GOO against 03,000.O00 in fSg5

 American Bowling Congress 2 : sourn-

 so numerous and consN sfctory that the bowlers are all at Last night the
 Philadeiphians claime4 to have the next
 tournament and the election of Albert
 Baltz for president practically nailed
 down.
 Tonight the drift seemed to be to-
 wards St. Louis for the next tourna-
 ment with stories that the delegation
 from that city has combined to support
 F. w Grosewisch of St. Paul, or c. J.
 Kaufman of Cincinnati As the selec-
 tion of the next meeting place and the
 election of officers will probably not come up until Wednesday and as all
 the howlers and delegates will not have
 arrived before that time, the situation
 may be still further complicated dur ing the next three days. It is gener-
 ally conceded that Chicago on account of It's large representation will cast
 the decisive votes and St. Louis men
 claim to have won the support of near " all tne OCiesdlcS lFolH that City, There is strong sentiment among
 the delegates that this year should wit ness a permanent departure from the
 unwritten but hitherto almost invari- able rule that the president should be
 selected from the city which secures the tournament There is also talk of an attempt to change the consultation so as to deprive the Executive Com
 naittee of the right to make nomina- tions of officers. Delegates on the l floor have the same right, but is Is claimed that the Executive Committee has become possessed of almost arbi- trary power in making states. Both 1 these questions are expected to pre- cipitate lively battles whsn brought up on the floor of the congress. The program for tomorrow's business ses- sion of the congress calls only for the
 bearing of the report os Secretary sam uel Karpf.

 Peace at Algeciras.
 Alreciras, March 1S.-The general disposition of the delegates to the con- ference of Moroccan reforms contin- ues inclined toward optimism, but no further apparent move has been made In inc direction of solution of tho points at issue between France and Germany.
 The delegates of ne neutral powers confer separately with the French and German delegates several times daily, striving to modify the outwardiy un- compromising stand taken by both sides. It is the general belief. how ever, that the present situation of in- decision will not change until further instructions arrive from Paris and Ber- lin.
 Meanwhile. the French and German delegates do not discuss the situa- ton together. Each side Is vainly await ing the sign of a concession from the other and maintaining It's respective standpoint.
 The neutral delegates do not believe the deadlock will last much longer and express the conviction that neither France nor Germany will allow the conference to fail after such prodigious efforts have been made by all the pow CTS represented to have them reach an equitable understanding.

After April l. 1t is expected that if the wage advance Is not granted the miners, the price of coal will go up at least fifty cents a ton to the consumer. With the amount of coal in the harbor the company will net q big profit. Officials say the reason for non-shipment is that the mills in the Pittsburg district are slowing fuel in anticipation of a shut down of the mines.

PROTEST BY UNTERMEYER Exposes Tricks of New
 York Life. "A CAMPAIGN FOR PROXIES Carried on at Expense of the
 Policy Holders. Effort Is Being Made, He Says, by the Present 0mciais of the Company
 to Have Themselves
 Reelected.

New York, March 1s4--Samuel Inter meyer, counsel for the International Policyholders' Committee of the New York Life Insurance Company. today sent a letter to Alexander E. Orr, Pres ident of the New York Life, protesting in the name of the policyholders against what he terms the extraordinary ef- fort that Is being made by the officers of the company to obtain proxies for the annual election which Is to be held early in April.
 Mir. Untermeyer's letter explains the object of the committee and declares that no election should be held until legislation affecting the insurance busi- ness is passed.
 Addressing Mir. Orr, Mir. Untermeyer says that as the representative of up- wards of 50.00o policyholders in the company he has been instructed to pro- test in their behalf against the extra ordinary use that Is being made by you and your officers of the agency force of the company who are being pressed the reelection of yourself and asso- ciates as directors at enormous ex- pense to the policyholders."
 T am informed" the letter continues, "that within the past few days you sent out from your head office to your entire agency force throughout the country telegrams urging them to collect proxies.
 Letter to Po1tcyhoiders.
 T have before me one of 8 number of printed letters and circulars issued from your head office signed by the cashier of your company with an ac- companying form of proxy addressed to policyholders. enclosing a biography of each of the directors and officers whom you seek to re-elect, including yourself. This proxy Is to John Clatitn, Oscar s. Straus and Clarence H. Mac kay, of whom biographies are also en- closed. printed at the expense of the policyholders.
 If these documents have been sent to every policyhelder, the cost to the company of postage alone would DC about S30,000 and the cost of printine as much more. How you justify such expenditures (to say nothing of the manifest impropriety Of such action al this juneture) I fail to understand
 These documents are coming to us in great numbers from infuriated pol icyholders with the request that our committee take some action to prevent your thus wasting the money of the poilcyholders in the attempt to return yourself to office"
