THE MOROCCAN CONFERENCE
French Plan Rejected by Germany
Working for Compromise.

The German delegates to the Moroccan
conference at Algeciras. Spain. received
from Berlin last night Germanys reply to
the proposition regarding the policing Of
Morocco. The reply is rejection Of the
French position that the officers of the
proposed police system shall be French ana
Spanish Germany declares that the
French proposal is contrary to the princi-
pie of INSTRUMENTATION and equality and
equality of all the powers in Morocco.
The effect of the German reply on tie
subject of the policing of Morocco has
had a bad effect on the neutral delegate,
who were disposed to regard the French
proposal as moderate, and who expected
some acknowledgment in that regard
from Germany. They do not, however,
consider the case as desperate as it has
been hitherto. Their guarded interference
now will be transformed into a strong pres
sure upon Germany, whose Unyielding at
titude is regarded as possibly threatening
the worlds peace.
The Paris foreign office confirms In a
cablegram the Algeciras report that France
has offered to concede the control of the
Moroccan police TO the sultan If the lat
ter will select French officers. An accord
is considered to hinge upon Gernany's ac-
ceptance of French officers. If this is not
accepter, a crisis win still be possible. as
the French official view is that France has
reached the limit of her concessions.

Chemical Analysis of Samples.

COL. Symons. who succeeded Col Bing-
nam IN charge of public buildings and
grounds in March, 1904, asked the medical
department of the army to make a cheml-
cal analysis of samples of water from the
Franklin spring, taken from the Executive
Mansion. The analysis was made bv Rev.
Edwin X. Hodge, chemist. The water -
he said, was clear, colorless odorless and
possessed no sediment. 1t was amphoteric
in its reaction. There was considera BILE
browning of the residue on it's incinerat ton
disclosing the presence of organic matter
but this was somewhat obscured by The
visible decomposition of part of the ire
mendously excessive amount of the con-
tanned nitrates."
DIR. Carroll shows the result of examina-
tons of water from the same spring March
10, 1886, and December @. 1889, and says
that 1t seems to him that there has been
startling depreciation in the quan,y of the
water since the previous examinations. In
conclusion he said that in his opinion the
water is ''imminently dangerous.
Surgeon Gen. O'Renly in transmitting this
report to Col. Symons said AS on chem
ical evidence alone the Franklin Square
spring may be absolutely condemned Il
source of water supply. archaeological eX-
animation is considered unnecessary.
AS a result of these reports the use Of
the water from the Franklin spring was
discontinued at the White House at that
time and has never been resumed.

FRANKLIN PARK WATER

Depreciation in Quality, According to
Chemist, to Extent of Being
"Imminently Dangerous"

Many years ago the famous spring in
Franklin Park was connected with the
White House by pipes running down 18th
street and then west on New York avenue
and the water was used by successive
presidents and their households for several
years in conjunction with the usual sun
ply from the Potomac river. The snrinp
water became an object of suspicion as
long ago as March, 1896: and the sickness
OF some of the inmates of the mansion wa :
attributed to its use

Discussion of Gas Supply.

The subject of procuring better gas was
brought to the attention of the meeting
through Mr.. ]. II. Clark. who presented a
petition bearing the signatures of 119 users,
who complain of the insufficient supply of
gas at certain times of the day. especially
during the hours between ) and } D. m, when
the supply is wholly inadequate for either
lighting or domestic purposes.
A resolution was adopted by the asso-
citation urging the Washington Gas Light
Company to take euch action as will fur
nish the people of Takoma Park and vlcin-
ity with an adequate supply of gas. and
that the committee on water and lights be
Instructed to present the petition to the Off
GERS of the gas light company, with a
view OF obtaining relief from the unsatis-
factory conditions.
Mr. G. c. Chapman called attention to
the necessity for a suitable sidewalk on
the south side of Cedar street between the
terminus of the electric line and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad station. On
motion Of Mr.. J. II. Clark, the Commits
sioners will be requested to provide q
granolithic pavement, under the permit
system, between these points.
Mr.. w. G.. Plat requested that similar
action be taken with reference to the pave
ment on Eastern avenue. which he said
was at times in an impossible condition.
The matter of macadamizing Cedar street
and Eastern avenue by the Commissioners
was embodied In a motion made by Mr..
Cha Dman.
