MOROCCO CASE SETTLED.
Germany and France Reach satisfae.
tory Agreement.

Algeciras, Spain.-The committee OF
the conference on Moroccan reforms
reached an agreement on all points.
This agreement was sanctioned at the
plenary session of the conference Fri.
day afternoon.
The complete accord resulted from
long conference held Saturday morn
ing between NJ. Revolt, head of the
French mission. and Count Won Tat
tenbach of the German mission.
The causes of the long dispute over
Moroccan affairs, which led France
and Germany to the brink OF war and
impelled the calling of an international
conference, were that the empire OF
Morocco, an absolute despotlsm, has
been in state or turmoil for
many years past, owing to the
natural course of events in a
country unrestricted by any laws
civil or religious, and also on account
OF the steady warfare which the Sui
tan, Mulai Abd-el-Aziz, has had to
wage against the pretenders to the
throne.
This caused feeling of uneasiness
among the Arab tribes in Algeria, the
adjoining French territory, and led to
efforts on the part of France to assume
a guardianship over Morocco. Ger
many was not willing to unreservedly
agree to this, being second only to
Great Britain in the extent OF her in
terests in Morocco.
After considerable further fencing
between Germany and France, those
two powers July s, 1905 agreed On the
basis of program for the proposed in
ternational conference, which con-
vened January 18th and has just
reached an agreement.

Most of the officials OF the church
were present at the meeting and
Dowie was denounced by many of
these as having deceived the people
and having wasted their money m ex-
travagances. The meeting, however.
refused to hold that he had knowingly
erred. and John G. Speicher. the for
mer overseer and once second in COM
mand to Dowie. who was recently de-
posed peremptorily, declared Dowie to
be insane.
Mrs. Dowie in her address also up
held that declaration. The casting off

telegram that q letter would follow in
which other officials were named for
deposition. A meeting OF the Zion
council of twelve followed immedi-
ately and 1t was decided to place the
affairs of the church before the mem
bers and settle the question of leader

The meeting was held Sunday after
noon and Overseer Voliva read the
long telegram from Dowie. A few
faint efforts at applause greeted the
reading, which was followed by a
storm of cheers for the new leader OF
Zion as he arose from his chair and
advanced to the front OF the platform.
! He invited DR.. Speicher, the former
oevrseer, to come to the platform and
take a seat. Voliva then. amid dead
silence, announced that he refused to
remove Alexander Granger from
Office. This was the first publicly an

thority of Dowie. The completion OF
Dowie's overthrow as a leader fol-

San Francisco.-The Bulletin says
that direct information from the trade

Smelling by Electricity.

London.-The doing away with the
use OF coal in smelling appears to be
an accomplished fact. J. Corbin Weld.
deputy governor OF the Canadian com.
pany, who is now in London, said to-
day that he he'd Just received infor-
nation of an important experiment
which resulted in proving that smelt-
ing would be successfully achieved by
electricity. The experiments were made
not by body of men seeking to float
company, but at the expense OF the
Canadian government. with view TO
the development of the iron ore indus
try in the Ontaria district. He had
received information that the results
OF the experiments were definite and
conclusive, and that the treatment of
ore by electricity could be profitably
and iucratively carried out.

Parry had assisted men to open a road
over Taylor range, between Ashcroft
and Taylor Park. About 8 o'clock he
sent word that he was going to catch

MoFFAr ROAD PROGRESS.
Completion of Its Own Line Into the
Denver Depot.

Denver.-After four years of hard
work the Moffat railroad has at last
built into Denver, says the Republi-
can, Saturday morning. At 6 O'Clock
last evening when the engine of tho
construction train gave a long, loud
whistle calling the men TO knock off,
work, it was at the Denver, Northwest
ern &c Pacifics own depot at Fifteenth
and Bassett Streets
Superintendent Deuel. does not know
exactly when the company will begin
using its own tracks, but it will be just
as soon as possible. At present the
company has an arrangement with the
Burlington road, which handles all its
trains in and out of the city. delivering
them at Utah Junction. This is very
expensive, costing not less than 500
day, 1t is said.
Mr.. Moffat said yesterday that he
does not expect to get the road built
through to Salt Lake before the end
of the two years. They are prepared
to put large force at work and rush
1t, but 1t cannot be done unless labor
ers can be had. They can use 1000
men this summer if they can be had,
but there is a demand all over the
West for them. The Western Pacific
can use 5000 to 10000 of them in its
work
The contracts are let for the Moffat
road to the firms now at work on the
line to Daniels pass, within thirty
miles of Heber, Utah. From this point
into Salt Lake the road will parallel
the RIO Grande Western. A short
branch line down to bennington, on
the Clark road. would cut off $50 miles
in the run to the Pacific coast

readily at strong prices. There was a
very fair country demand and good

dent Roosevelt's influence, whether d.
rectly put forth OF not. must be a
powerful factor in determining the
party ticket, and the presidential sue
cession must be a matter Of profound
concern to him. The report that he
inclines toward Secretary Taft in the
light Of existing circumstances has no
small degree of FEASIBILITY. But 1t
may we'll be believed. in spite of a
world of newspaper surmise, that
neither the president nor the secretary
has as yet arrived at any settled pur-
pose or program to that effect. The
secretary is conspicuously identified
with the work and distinctive policies
Of the administration and there seems
otherwise to be a good basis for sym
pathy between him and his chief. for
in at least two capital features-the
insular policy and the Panama canal
Secretary Taft holds the laboring oar.
Continued success therein will neces-
sarily further elevate him in the pub
lie eye as the time approaches to
choose the party's standard bearer, and
a sense Of patriotic duty is sufficient
explanation IL he remains in his pres
ent place, although that need not
blind him or the president to political
possibilities.

UNIFORM FOOD LAWS.

The tenth annual national conven-
ton Of the State Dairy and Food de-
partments at Hartford is the most i'm
portant meeting yet held by the as
ISOLATION. This year It's scope has
been broadened by inviting delegates
from manufacturers Of foods and from
associations specially interested in the
subject of pure food. and the enact
ment Of the national pure food law
raises questions of great and imme-
date practical Importance.
The most important question and
the one which will be paramount in
the deliberations of the convention is
that of uniform state pure food laws.
1t is obvious that the effect of the ma
tional pure food law will depend to a
considerable extent upon the harmony
and efficiency of state action on the
same subject, and beyond the enforce
ment of the national law is an extern
sive field in which the state has juris-
diction to the exclusion of national
authority, namely. the state market
for all foods prepared and sold within
the state.
Some of the states have long had
pure food laws, but for the most part
they are weak and imperative, besides
being utterly inconsistent one with
another, thus affordinA almost unlim-
tied opportunities for evasion. So
hopeless has been the task of securing
workable system that the pure food
departments of the several states have
for years concentrated their efforts
for a national law on the general
lines followed by congress at the late
session as the first indispensable step
towards adequate public protection.
The national system now becomes the
model TO which 1t is necessary that
the states shall assimilate their laws,
and the convention will endeavor to
aid the states by evolving In broad
outline a system of tests, inspection
and certifcation, with suitable penalty
provisions.
One of the most noteworthy circurn-
stances of the Hartford meeting is the
number of food manufacturers who
are for the first time represented. The
existence OF a national law now nee
essarily makes it to the interest OF
all legitimate manufacturers, espe-
cially those engaged in interstate
trade, to secure the added protection
of equally stringent state laws in order
to save themselves against the i'm
positions of dishonest competitors
Their vital interest thus is parallel
with that Of the general consuming
public, and the cooperation of food
manufacturers can hardly fail to be
helpful in devising basis for prac-
tical uniform state legislation.

state Life Insurnnoe.
Boston Transcript


The assistant attorney general Of Wis
consin comes out in vigorous plea for the
conduct OF life insurance by the state. One
great objection TO this plan Is that money
is worth less to the state than to privately
managed companies. It can borrow at sur
prisingly low rates. and any uses to which
II might inelastically authorize Investments
Of this kind would be OF the kind that yield
an exceedingly small return. Another argu-
ment against state life insurance comes in
the apparent necessity Of extensive adver-
Using. II would be unfortunate to put It
within the power Of the state government
to control to SO large an extent the pros
perity of newspapers by the distribution Of
this business, And life insurance, without
agents and without advertising. even under
state control, would probably not DO a large
business AS for state agents" we have
too many now.

CREDIT OF THE NATION.
'rrIumph of Government by and For
the People"

81. Louis Globe-Democrat
Bids have been invited for 100000 OF
per cent government bonds to be used in
the construction OF the Panama canal,
which will be the first installment Of the
amount Of bonds authorised by congress
for the great isthmian enterprise BY law
the bonds cannot be sold for less than par.
As they command a premium, that provi-
sion has no practical bearing In the sale.
No other country In the world can borrow
money at per cent, to say nothing Of the
premium, which, II is believed, will reach
at least 4 per cent. The per cent bonds
OF Japan and Russia can be bought for
less than par. though the interest is twice
as large as that paid by this country. A
nation. state or city that can borrow at
per cent is favorably situated. But the
United States borTows at much lower
figure. with larger offerings than 1t can
use II is true that the bonds OF the United
States have a special value 70 banks rs a
basis for the issue Of bank notes, but as
this Is part OF the financial system devised
by the government the fact is all the more
proof OF good management in developing
and maintaining the national credit, which
stands unequaled elsewhere in the past OF
present.
supposing S2OO,OOo,OOO to be necessary in
building a lock canal at Panama, the
United States can get the money at per
cent OF t4.O0oO0O a year Any other ma
ton would have to pay at least per cent
difference OF 10000 q year. II the
bonds ran nifty years. the amount in favor
OF the United States for that term would
be 500, 10000. a striking exhibit Of the SUI
perior position OF this country as bor-
rover. In conducting large internal i'm
provements the United States is better on
by one-half in its ability 10 finance them.
The cost Of a ship canal between 81. Louis
and Chicago Is estimated al H0,Oo0'OoO Its
interest charge on the government would
be 100000 a year. Another nation for a
similar Improvement, would have 70 pay
100000 a year. This margin looms into
something immense when fully computed
as a matter OF comparative public debt.
The United States can so into enterprises
that for financial reasons would be closed
10 other nations.
Here IL a great triumph for government
OF the people, by the people. for the people.
Let those who doubt the capacity OF the
American people 20 rule themselves exam
inc the matter in the light Of the credit
Of the nation.
