Statehood Bill Next.
TRYING TO GET CHAIRMAN SOME PROGRESS IS MADE
United States and Italy Active
in Settling the Dispute at
AIgeCiraS.

Algeciras, Feb. 14-Yesterday's OPP
timism regarding the outcome of the
Moroccan conference appears to have
been as greatly exaggerated as was
Mondays pessimism.
It must be understood that one con-
versatiOn will not suffice TO settle the
FrOncO-German difficulties; but it is
a fact that negotiations are progress
ing with the same good prospects
which always have existed. The AS
ISOLATED Press has the best authority
for denying the statement emanating
from Berlin that NJ. Revert, the prin-
cipal French delegate, proposed that
France, Spain and one other power
shall control the Moroccan police On
the same authority it can be said that
no Importance should attach to the
alterations of optimism in the French
press.
The efforts of disinterested powers,
particularly the United States and It
ally, have become very active in the
last three days toward securing a sat
isfaCtOry arrangement of the questions
of the state bank an the police, both
OF which form the subject of conversa-
uCns between the elegates of the pow
ers directly interested. German del
egates are fully aware of the fact that
France considers that control Of the
police is absolutely necessary to her
position on the Mediterranean and as a
MUssulman power. The admission of
that fact as an absolute condition is
necessary to the access of the con-
ference and the disinterested powers
will seek, if possible, to find conces-
SionS in other directions.

FORTFICATIONS APPROPRIATION BILL IS PASSED
Difference of Opinion Between Army and Navy Officers as
Well as Between Republicans and Democrats
on the Measure.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Incidental to the
passage of the Notifications appropriation
bib which was accomplished by the house
today. a lively debate was kept up
throughout investigating the difference
policy with reference to the Philippines
and also the difference between army and
navy officers as to the place where a ma
val station and Notifications shall be eS-
tablished in the archipelago. The debate
availed nothing so far as the legation was
concerned, as the two amendments on the
propoSitiOn-first, not to appropriate any
thing for Notifications in the Philippines,
and second, to forbid the expenditure of
any money at Subig bay, were defeated.
Rryan's Position.
The minority took some pains to make
plain the position of Mr.. Bryan in his
campaign for the ratification of the Paris
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-02-15

treaty Of peace, that Mr.. Bryan wanted
first to acquire the Philippines and then
give their inhabitants freedom. This was
accomplished finally by having placed on
the record a letter written by Mr.. Bryan
some time ago on the subject. AS to the
question of the location of a naval sta
ton, army experts were quoted literally
against having it at Subig bay and naval
authorities were put on record in favor
Of a station at that place. 1t was point
ed out that wherever the navy went with
its station, there the army would have to
go with its Qualifications
Sites Not Selected.
The bill does no specify where these
defenseS shall be located, but apprOpri-
ates 100000 to be divided between the
Philippines and Hawaii. The bill carries
a total Of So, 3S3993 for Notifications and
their armament. It was passed exactly
as reported by the committee.

STOLEN MONEY

New York, Feb. 14.-Recommenda-

the New York Life Insurance company
were submitted to the trustees of that
company today by the special investi-

money be recovered from such officials

liable therefor.
The report states that there is no
record upon the books of the company
to show that campaign contributions
were given, but that information was
obtained from the testimony of Presi-
dent Mccall and Vice President George
W. Perkins upon the stand before the
Armstrong committee. This recon-
mendatiOn is then made:
