HOW BABcock CAME
TO BE REBEL LEADER.

Washington, Jan. 15.-When the
house met this morning, Babcock at
once took the floor on the question OF
personal privilege. He based this on
the statement in a local newspaper.
entitled, How Came Babcock to Re-
bel?" and which gave as reason for
his opposition to joining Arizona and
New Mexico as one state, his pique
at not being made chairman of the
appropriations committee. This state
ment, Babcock said. totally misrepre-
sented him, and he also believed, It
misrepresented the so-called "stal-
warts" which he understood, meant
the house organization. AS to state
hood, he said he had always been OPP
posed to joining Arizona and New
Mexico as one state, and had always
opposed it. At the last session, he
said. the opposition supported the
rules of the committee of the house
on the Joint statehood question as the
best means of killing the bill. There
was no reply to Babcock's statement
and when he concluded, some of his
colleagues applauded.

THE NATIONAL RIVERS
AND HARBORS CONGRESS
Delegates Represent Leading Commercial and In
duStriaI Interests Of COuntry--Subject
Considered Generally.

members of the executive COMMITTEES
of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, in which It was decided To
recommend to the executive committe
of the latter organization to cali an.
other meeting. The present meeting
was then called by President Robert
Ramsay of Baltimore.
In accordance with the, plan of the
congress no special water way or sec
tion of the country will be considered
at the meeting of the congress. The
situation will merely be considered
in a general way and a concerted eff
fort will be made to induce congress
to make ample appropriations for the
work to be done in the entire coun-
try. After this each section will work
individually for the money required
to carry on the improvements in the
respective localities.
The distinguished character of the
delegates selected to represent the diff
ferent states in the congress gives
ample proof of the importance attach
ed to the subject of improved water
ways and harbors. What remains TO
be done is to impress upon congress
the fact that the commercial and in
dustrial interests of the country as a
whole demand recognition and prompt
attention to the needs of the entire
country in regard to water ways and
harbor Improvements For that pur-
pose the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress will unite its efforts upon
the general proposition, without weak
ening its strength by specializing in
its demands. That will be left to the
individual work and efforts of the
representatives to the various sec
tions.

WHAT HAS THE UNITED STATES TO DO
WITH THE MOROCCO CONFERENCE?

What has the United States to do
with the conference over Morocco?
It's a query that the results of the
conference itself will have to ans
wer But 1t comes as surprise to
the great majority of Americans that
the United States is taking any part
at all in what looks like a big game
of politics between the forever quar-
reling powers of Europe.
The conference opens next week at
Algeciras, Spain, and we are told sim
ply that Ambassador White, at the
court of Italy, and Samuel Gummers,
minister to Morocco, will sit for this
country with the representatives of
Spain and Italy.
The ostensible purpose of the con-
ference is to arrive at an agreement
for absolute commercial equality of
the powers in Morocco. American
commerce in that semi i-civilized land
is next to nothing.
No intelligent reader of the worlds
news, however, will be gulled by the
story that the meeting is to be a
trade talktalk. Politics almost sole
ly is behind the conference, and the
control of northeastern Africa and of
the Mediterranean sea is the apple
the European governments are duck
ing for.
When England upon the occasion
of King Edwards good-feeling visit
to France agreed to give the Franks
free hand in Morocco such as she
herself has in Egypt, she raised that
very issue These two powers, with
the consent of Spain and apparently
also with the connivance of Italy, ar
rogated the right to dispose of an ex-
tensive realm known to have vast nat
ural resources and occupying a posi-
tion of signal stragetic value, COM

SCENE OF THE MOROCCO CONFERENCE

manding as 1t does, the western en-
trance to the Mediterranean. 1t Is
not surprising that Emperor William
should have resented the assumption
that he and his Austrian ally did not
need to be consulted in the matter.
This being the situation, the ques-
tion becomes stronger: What has
the United States to do with the Mo-
rocco conference?"
The croak is already heard in the
land that "the administration is about
to violate the American policy of
century against entangling alliances.
The croak is premature. Uncle Sam
may be just taking sit-in for obser-
walton purposes. And who knows but
that the American delegation may be
Just the weight which will hold down
the lid on the ever boiling pot of war

Dallas, Texas, Jan. l5.-John G..
Hunter, secretary of the Dallas Com
mercial club, announced yesterday
that the proposed visit OF the Texas
Commercial clubs TO northern and
eastern cities had been abandoned
because of the high rates demanded
by eastern railroads to carry the

ways had adopted this means as a
big stick against the advocates of rail-

a few years, has developed into re-
markable player. capable of holding
his own with any one of the older
experts. He has played some remark
able games in the United States,
where his home is, but, nOtwithstand-

expert, his challenge came rather as
surprise, because the young man

MANAGER RICABY AND
HIS BADGER FIGHTER
AN ACCOUNT OF THE BIsBEE
BOUT TOLD IN THIS CITY.

The boys with the West minstrels,
are telling a good joke on Manager
Ricaby. of the minstrels. He has with
him small white dog, which is one of
the fercest badger fighters in the
country, While the company were
at Bisbee, Arizona, Mr.. Ricaby was
persuaded to let his noble canine en-
ter the ring with badger. and after a
number of sports had assembled and
excitement ran high the badger was
let out of its cage and a spirited con-
test took place. To even up affairs
and to make the Bisbee sports feel
like they had tackled a true member.
Of the fraternity, Mr.. Ricaby asked
all ito take something" at his ex-
pense. 1t is quite likely that Manager
Ricaby will have his white canine at
the Elks' social session tonight after
the show, and If Joe Sheridan can be
persuaded to bring on his badger, a
set-to between the animals may en-
liven matters a little bit.

IN BILLIARD CONTEST

marvellous skill.
The American billiard players, on
the other hand, are quite confident
that Willie Hoppe will give a good ac-
count of himself, even IL he should not
succeed in wrestling the laurels from
the veteran French expert. It is re-
ported that Schaefer has expressed
the belief that Hoppe would win the
game and bring the trophy. II
is also stated that George Slosson
has issued a provisional challenge for
a match with Willie Hoppe, should the
latter defeat VignauX.

ton both as to the open door In Mo-

of the fact that Russia has shown a
marked Indifference to the appeal of
France for support. The influence of
the Vatican is also said to be hostile
