Radowitz head of the German mission, and
M. Revolt chief of the French delegation
to the Moroccan conference, had for the
first time today a long private meeting
which was much commented upon as a
move forward In the adjustment of the
Franco-German differences. Although the
results were not disclosed. the meeting pro-
duced distinct feeling OF optimism among
the delegates.
Heretofore the German and French rep
resentatives had maintained only cere-
monial relations, but the other plenipoten-
tiaries, chiefly the Marquis Visconu Venos-
ia, head of the Italian delegation, and Am
bassador White, the chief representative of
America, tactfuily contributed to bring
about this mornings meeting, with the
view to securing a close personal exchange
of views

Excited Favorable Opinion.

Some of the ambassadors have expressed
the opinion that these direct Franco-Ger-

ing crisis in the conference.
The delegates will informally consider the
advisability of entrusting a small neutral
power with the organization of the Mo-
roccan police Switzerland has been much
favored, on the ground that she is dis
tinctly neutral between France and, Ger
many. However, the objection is raised that
Switzerland lacks the naval and military
forces necessary to effectively enforce her
control in case of complications within
Morocco.
The conference met again this afternoon
to consider the financial questions.

NOW FOR CHEAPER Lr0HTl

The action of the Mayor and Council last evening in taking the initial steps to provide cheaper light and power for the citizens, IS one that will meet with practically universal commendation. It was the proper thing to do. and as business men having the welfare of the city at heart, it was anticipated that the vote could hardly be other. wise than unanimous under the circum stances. 1f the plan be fcasfbis, and the Council will not proceed fuSther in the matter until its menbkfs are con vinced that it is. it means thsf whilr the project will be restricted in the beginning to a limited area, eventually tho benefits of cheaper light will be extended to every householder in the city. The municipality will make money on the sale of the product to the bushes. district, and thereby will ob- tain the funds to extend the system over the entire city. It.is only because the business men. having felt the ex- actions of the monopoly more heavily than any other classes of consumers, felt impelled to take the initiative and advanced the money to the city in order to obtain relief.
 There is no reason why the house. holders Of any residence block or dis' trie, may not club together in the same manner, and secure the benefits immediately of the municipal system | if they do not care to wait until the city is in n financial position to make the extension. But sooner or later every light consumer in the city will enjoy the satisfaction of a reduced bill, assuming of course that the coun. cil finally decides after investigation that the project is thoroughly feasible The entire Council ia Co be warmly commended for the stand it has taken and in evineing it's manhood and strength of character in resisting the influences which have been brought to bear upon the members durine the past few days by parties whose sole in tere.t is to perpetuate an avariciou' and inconsiderate monopoly.

 ''Those who look to the possibilities of the future cannot but feel that the people of Arizona will be wise in doing as they propose and setting aside state. hood for the present on the terms which sse offered.
