HOPE FOR BASIS 0F
 ACCORD IN MEANTIME
DISAPPOINTMENT OF PLENARY CONFERENCE ON MOROCCO
 UNTIL MARCH 20.

Arouses Hope Among the Delegates
 That France and Germany Will Fi-
 naIly Get Togther-Opinion of InfIu-
 ential EnvOys, Including the Ameri-
 cans and Italians, That an Agreement
 is Still Attainable
 Algeciras, Spain, March 16.-Post- ponement of the plenary conference on Moroccan reforms until March 20 arouses among the delegates hopes that Germany and France in the meantime will reach basis of accord. The symptoms of agreement were more fa- vorable to-day, when the representa- tives of neutral nations energetically endeavored to influence mutual conces- sions.
 The French and Spanish delegates, however, still claim that their accep. tance of the principles of inspection of Franco Spanish police gives an effi- cacious guarantee that the interests of other powers will be properly safe- guarded. They are disinclined to agree that the inspector to be appointed shall have anything in the nature of com mand, which the Germans hitherto re- garded as essential Both sides now appear to be lessunconpromising
 It is the opinion of influential neutral delegates, including the Americans and Italians, that an agreement is attaina- ble. They argue that the coonference would not have been called unless the principal parties concerned had fore seen the probability of a successful is- sue and therefore they will strive with out ceasing in the course of private conversations to blend the rival pro- positions into unison before the next meeting, when they hope the vital question will be satisfactorily settled.

 DEN, N J.

Ordered Into Burning Old Sixth Regi-

But before they could escape the great expanse of roof fell, burying them all under it. Shields, Hlllman and Jobes were crush ed to death, but the others managed to follow the line of the hose and escaped after most of them had been seriously lacerated and burned.

T1L1BUsTER1Ne IN RousE.
Lapse in Vigilance of Those FavorIng
 Lieutenant GeneraIship.

Washinton. March 16.-For an instant in the house to-day there was a lapse in the vigilence of those who have been on guard to prevent legislation which would take away the rank of lieutenant general in the army, and the chances of Generals Corbin and Mac Arthur for promotion. MT. Prince of Illinois, whose bill abolishing she grade in question is the regular order of bus- iress under call of committees, slipped into the executive breach
 There was an immediate call to arms on both sides and for three hours the friends of the generals fllibustered aagainslt the bill. The net result was that the previous question is ordered on the bill and an amendment is pending, having been offered by MT. Grosvenor of Ohio, which extends the time of the operation of the bill so as to allow the promotion of the two officers named. On this amendment the huse was vot- ing, but without a quorum, when ad- iournrnent was had until Monday, when the vote will be completed. At present it stands IS ayes and SS nays on the amednment. Previous to this tine first real fllibuster of the session, there had been four hours of debate on the legis- lative bill MT Shackleford opened the programme with a severe criticism of Speaker Cannon, which he was not al- lowed to finish. Then followed a some- what lively debate on the appropriation bill.

TUNNELING OF BEHRING STRAIT
Scheme Placed Before Russian Nat
 ional Defence Committee.

tOMaA DeleUCC COHlnItISGa
 St. Petersburg, March 16.-Baron Loicq de Loibel to-day placed before the national defense committee the project of the American Trans Alaskan -Siber- ian company for tunneling under Beh- ring strait and building railroad from East Cape to Kansk to connect with the Siberian railroad. Baron de Lobei offered Ito make any changes necessary to meet strategic considerations. M Toulchinskie. chief engineer of the Irkutsk railroad, was the principal technical opponent to the scheme, con- tending that construction of the tunnel was impracticable and impossible on account of the action of the tides. NJ Toulchinski asserted that the shifting tundra of Siberia would necessiltate the building of extensive 6ikes and long bridges for protection from spring freshets, etc Besides, M ToulchinsM claims that the climate of the region covered by the plan makes it unfit for Russian colonization and that the only result could be the eventual placing in the hands of enterprising Americans the whole unpopulated territory from I;lle Pacific to Kamchatka.

PARKER URGES SOUTH
 TO TAKE LEADERSHIP
THINKS IT THE DUTY OF SOUTH ERNDEMOCRATS TO THE
 PARTY.

Conditions Confronting Them That
 Should Cause Them Not to Hesitate
 LOnger-Possibly Party May Again
 Go Down to Defeat but Since 1896 it
 Has Done Nothing Else Under North
 ern Leadership-Really Effective
 Democrats of Country Should be
 Recognized.
 Charlotte, N. C., March 16.-Judge AL ton B. Parker, in an address before the Manufacturers club of this city to- night, urged southern democrats to take the leadership of the party. Judge Par ker spent only a few hours here en route home from Mississippi, and his speech was delivered at a reception given in his honor by the Manufactur- CTS club. His speech, in part, was as follows:
 The time has come when new duties and responsibilities must be undertaken by the democrats of the south. It is more than twoscore years since the war closed, and your people find themselves upon the threshold of what promises to be the most remarkable business devel- opment the world has ever known with in the same time and space.
 Tn spite of your devotion to principle and consistency, in the face of nu- merical importance that was prepon- derant, in politics only have you step ped aside. You have not only permit ted Us of the north to present to you candidates for president and vice-presi- dent, but you have insisted upon our doing so and have then voted for them, and that, too, when sometimes no other states did so. It is now nearly twelve years since any man processing devo- tion to your party has been chosen to fill an important executive office. At the last election perhaps eight out Of ten of the voters then under thirty were ranged with our opponents, and to-day the party organizations are lineless, their one-tirne leaders are dead or have abdicated, or worse, have become re- publicans, while in more than one state the threat hangs over them that they may become the victims of the spoiler, the destructor or the eorruptionist.
 When such conditions confront you ! why should you hesitate any longer? The time has come when the really ef- fective democrats of the country should be recognized and when these themselves should not long hesitate, decline or re- fuse or seek to accept those honors which are their just due for work we'll done. It may possibly be that the par ty will go to defeat again, but since 1896 1t has done nothing else under northern leadership, and certainly it cannot do worse.
 If we are honest with ourselves, earnest and vigilant in the recognition of those popular needs which are both safe and democratic, and regardful of our own ideas and traditions, we shall again be entrusted with power and we shall be ready for 1t. When this time comes the south ought to be, and, in- deed, 1t must be, the one great effective force in bringing about such a happy consummation-sorely needed if our in- stitutions are to endure inviolate."

FOR REGENERATION OF CHINA.
President of University Heads Great
 Movement.

Washington, March 16.-A movement has been instituted by Edmond B. James, president of the University of Illinois, for the appointment of an ed ucational commission for the study of the social, intellectual and industrial situation in China with view to the regeneration of the Chinese empire.
 Professor James recently presented to President Roosevelt a memorandum on the subject, which the president and Secretary Root now have under consid- eration. In the memorandum Professor James says that great service would be done to both countries if the govern- ment of the United States would extend to those young Chinese who desire to go abroad to study, formal invitation on the part of our American institutions of learning to avail themselves of ethe fla cilities of such institutions.
 China is upon the verge of revolu- tion," says the document; every great nation of the world will inevitably be drawn into more or less relations with this gigantic development.

SUITS AGAINST HAMILTON
Will be Brought Despite His Outbreak
 in Albany.

New York, March 16.-Andrew Ham ilton's statement before the legislative investigating committee at Albany yes- terday will not interfere with the suits which the New York Life Insurance company proposes to bring against him, according to Augustus G. Paine trus- tee of the company and a member of the Fowler Investigating committee. Mr. Paine was for several years a mem Der of the New York Life's auditing committee, but resigned about six years ago. He said to-day that he did not see how that committee could be held responsible for payments to Hamilton, inasmuch as vouchers were always sub fnitted by the comptroller of the com pany and the amounts called for were always regarded as part of the compa- ny's legitimate expenses.
