GERMANY GAINS ITS POINT
MOROCCAN POLICE QUESTION
PRACTICALLY SETTLED
At ALGEcIRAS.

Washington, March %. - Secretary
Root yesterday received cablegram
from Ambassador White, the Ameri-
can representative at the Algeciras
conference, saying that France and
Germany had practically reached an
agreement on the policing of the Mo-
roccan border. The exact terms of
the agreement are not known, but
Germany has practically won it's con-
tention that the police force shall be
international in character instead Of
French, as commended by the French
government. This is the question on
which ii was expected that the confer
ence would be wrecked. Ambassador
White and Minister Gumnere, the Two
American representatives, have en-
erted a strong influence. and to them
is largely due the settlement of this
question which threatened to precipi
tate war between Germany and
France. The American representa-
tives were acting under instructions of
President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt, and no one
else, is responsible for the peaceful
result at last conceded for the Moroc-
can conference at Algeciras, Spain.

effort to fix a time for final vote on
the railway rate bill. Mr.. Tilllnan
stated that he would bring the matter
up in the senate to-day and unless OBJ.
lection was then made he may ask to

The suggestion as 10 lime arose in
connection with the more or less seri-
Gus effort on the part of number of
senators to secure immediate consid.
GRAFTON of amendments offered by
themselves. Mr.. Tillman resisted all
attempts of that kind in the absence
of many senators, saying the votes
ought not to be taken without full no.
tice to senators.
Following the presidents sugges,
ton, the house yesterday passed sew.
eral resolutions to correct the useless
printing of public documents. 1t was
claimed this action would result in
saving the government upward of a
million dollars annually.

WITNESS PULLS
GUN AND ESCAPES
WANTED IN OREGON TO TESTIFY
IN THE LAND FRAUD
THREATENS OFFICERS LIFE
ovERAWEs CROWD AND ESCAPES
AFTER STRUGGLE WITH
OFFICER.

Boston, March IS. Stephen II.
Puter of San Francisco, who is wanted
by the United States government as
witness in the land fraud cases in Or
egon, was arrested here last night by
United States Marshal w. B. Burns of
Washington, ID. c., but after being in
custody less than half an hour, Puter
drew Il revolver and succeeded in es-
Gaping. 1t is alleged that the Oregon
State authorities want Puter, who was
broker in connection with the forg-
$4,000.
Marshal Burns was detailed by the
government at Washington to come to
Boston and search for Puter. He To-
Gated him and waited at the Fenway
branch postofice, where, he learned,
Puter was in the habit of calling for
mail addressed to John H. Brownell."
Puter
Agreed to Accompany
Burns to private room in the postof-
flee. Burns understood that Supt.
Swift of the branch office had gone
for the police. but it developed later
that Swift did not understand that
Burns wanted the assistance of the
police. Surprising that two officers
were outside the building, the marshal
placed Puter under arrest and look
him to the sidewalk. After asking
question or two about his removal to
Washington the prisoner suddenly
drew a revolver. and, leveling it at the
marshals head. exclaimed: "Ill kill
you, Burns, if you dare to move"
Crowd Is overawed.
The crowd about the two men was
quite dense. but fell away rapidly at
the appearance of the revolver, but
Burns, although considerably older
than his prisoner, jumped at him and
pushed up his hand. Puicr struggled
and succeeded in pointing the muzZle
OF the revolver at Burns breast for a
second time. Again the officer closed
with his man but he could moi wrench
the weapon away Puter finally got
free from the grasp of the marshal
and gradually backed away with the
revolver still pointed at Burns He
suddenly turned and darted down the
street, followed by the officer and
many other persons. The fugitive,
however, escaped.
