GAGE SPEAKS OF PANIC.

Country Are DIsgraesfuI

New York, Jan. 8.-Lyman Gage,
former secretary of the treasury, said
that he agrees with Jacob Schiff in
the opinion that a great panic is inc
vitable unless steps are taken to
remedy the inelasticity of the exist
ing currency system.
Il agree positively will Mr..
Schiff.' said Mr.. Gage, that the
monetary conditions which have ex-
listed in this country during the last
sixty days are disgraceful to US as a
nation and / further agree with him
that a stunning panic is but mat
ter of time unless some thing is done.
The more promptly and effectually
this is done the better for the United
States.
"In my opinion there is no imme-
date danger, but the danger itself
is apparent and if the, country sits
passive under existing conditions the
country will suffer. 1 don't under
stand how any careful and thought
full financier can fail to realize the
peril"

VIII Stand Pat on its Position In
Morocco.
PUBLIC GAINING CONFIDENCE.
French People Feel That Through
Geographical Position 1t Should
Have Privileged Position = Ger
many Has Never Yelled.

Paris, Jan. 8. = Public uneasiness
over the Moroccan conference has I'M
dergone distinct improvement. This
is due mainly to the confident atti-
tude of the officials of the foreign
office, who consider the selection by
the Italian government of Marquis
Visconi Venosta to head its delega-
ton as Strengthening the position of
France 1t is evident that the Off
Gals hold the view that if France can
secure the support of the great pow
ers having tangible interests in the
Mediterranean and Morocco it will
be difficult for Germany to stand
against the force of this moral infiu-
ence. Therefore Italy's choice of the
Marquis Visconti Venosta, who was
one OF the earliest advocates of the
Franco-Italian entente, strengthens
the governments expectation of the
united support of the leading Medi-
terranean powers.
The martial tone of the press has
considerably diminished, and the SEN
sational branch of it no longer prints
alarmist reports of the frontier pre-
,parations. Nevertheless the public
and the press continue, though with
greater calmness, towards the impera-
tive need OF completing military pre-
paratiOns.
Now that the French delegates are
preparing to start to Algiers, there is
evidence of the greatest firmnesS in
upholding the French position. the
essential feature of which is that
France through her geographical
proximity to Morocco, which is anal
gous to that of the position of the
United States toward Cuba. and
justly entitled to have a special and
privileged position in Morocco.
Germany, while yielding much. has
never clearly yielded the claim of
France to a special position in Mo
rocco This is the vital issue and the
minor questions regarding police, Gus
toms, finance and contraband can be
adjusted once it is definitely settled
whether France has or has not a spe-
cial position in Morocco.
If the French position is upheld,
the conference it is expected will
charge France with the police, Gus
toms and other duties. Against this
Germany will seek to secure 'interna-
tiOnal control of the police, the GUS
toms and other matters, thus giving
all nations, including Germany, the
same status in Morocco as that of
] France.
! The French delegates will start
without the slightest thought of yield
ing in or compromising the essential
principles of Frances proved posi-
ton, and therein lies the danger OF
! the Franco-German outlook.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Temps says that Germany. following
the action of the United State and
Great Britain, is sending a squadron
TO Algerias. The paper says that
France thus far has not ordered a
squadron to the neighborhOod of the
conference. 1t adds that the Brit
ish squadrons, comprising the chan
mel, home and cruiser squadrons, will
rendezvous in Cadiz bay near Al
geries in the middle of February.

Securities In Russia Are Showing
Marked Weakness.
FRANCE HAS ALL IT WILL STAND
Grave Danger of Depreciation of Rus
sian Money as Another Loan Can
not Possibly be Floated in Paris
Soon.

Pthis, Jan. 9.-The marked weak
ness of Russian government securi-
ties on the bourse is attributed to
the refusal of the French bankers
to entertain the proposals for an
other Russian loan of approximately
$1,000 100000. The negotiations for
the loan have been pending for long
time, being first deferred owing to
the territorial disorders in Russia.
These having Gained down, the Rus
sian fnanciers considered the time
opportune to reopen the question and
NJ. Kokovsoff, the former Russian
minister of finance, has been here
comforting with premier ROuvier and
the local bankers. 1t is understood
that NJ. Rouvier inclined against the
loan, on the ground that sufficient
French capital is already invested in
that quarter.
The bankers took the position that
the present monetary conditions and
the disturbed political situation over
Morocco made it unwise to attempt to
float another Russian loan at the
present moment However, they in
dicated their willingness to give re-
lief to Russian finances in another
form by advancing gold to the Rus
sian state bank against suitable guar
antees in order to maintain the bull
lion reserve and protect the trouble
against depreciation. Plans are still
under discussion for the purpose of
making short time advances which
would ensure the continued stability
of Russian finances until a propitious
loan.
