THE MOROCCAN ISSUE
FRANCE NOW ALARMED OVER
POSSIBLE ACTION OF GERMANY.

ST. PETERSBURG. January 13,-From
information received by the foreign office
here France is considerably alarmed at the
possibility of complications during the
Algeciras conference, owing to fear that
Germany will pursue aggressive policy.
Premier White and Foreign Minister Lams-
dorn regard these approximations as un-
founded. being evidently convinced from
their Berlin advices that Germany has no
intention of going behind safeguarding the
epen-door policy.
Nevertheless as Frances ally Russia is
bound to sustain Franc The reports that
Great Britain has given France assurances
or her support are confirmed
Possesses the Public Mind.
PARIS. January 13.-The Moroccan con-
ference entirely possesses the public mind,
the departure of the French representa-
tives and the passage through Paris of the
Italian and German delegates serving
topics upon which to base speculation rela-
tive to the outcome. The diplomats guard
ediy refer to the possibility of the confer
ence not succeeding in settling Morocco's
future and the situation remaining exactly
the same as before the plentpotentfarfes
meeting with the consequent continuation
OF disputes between the rival powers.
NJ Leroy Beulcu, the well informed writer
on political science. devotes a lengthy
ticle to the discussion of the question con-
tending that the principal object desired Is
the maintenance of Morocco as an empire
as long possible but should the en-
pire break UP France ought to inherit
legitimate but moderate portion. consisting
of territory along the Algerian frontier,
while Spain should obtain the rest of the
territory Bordering on the Atlantic ocean.
The writer adds that status quo would
be preferable to an international police,
finances and public works. which would

Peace to Be Maintained.
ROME. January ia correspondent of
the Glornale di Italia interviewed Mr.. White.
the American ambassador, during the am
bassador's journey from Rome to Naples
on the first part of his trip to Algeciras-
The correspondent declares that Mr.. White
said he was sure peace would be main
tanned and that the conference on Moroc-
can reforms would have good result IN the
interests of the peace of the world. The
ambassador said this was what the United
States firmly desired.
Aigeciras Animated.
ALGECIRAs, Spain, January 49, - This
quaint old town is gradually awakening as
on Moroccan reforms approaches. and the
usual Spanish lethargy has given place to
a burst OF animation and excitement. All
the public buildings and bridges are re-
Splendent with crimson decorations and
tapestries. The captain general arrived
here tonight to assume charge of the town.
Sir Arthur Nicolson, head of the British
delegation, is the first representative of a
leading power to reach Algeciras.

KEEP OUT POLITICS.
First Requisite in Securing Good Ser
vice for the Government.

Washington, May 16.-President
Roosevelt delivered an address at the
White House yesterday afternoon to
representatives of several state and
municipal civic commission and of the
national civil service reform league
who met here today for a conference
with the commissioner of the general
government with a view Of considering
questions for the betterment of civil
service throughout the country. The
president said:
''One of the gratifying things of re-
cent years has been the rapid spread of
interests In the whole movement and
because of that interest it Is peculiarly
incumbent upon you to see that there
is not a chance for the opponents to
say that it is not practical. The eff
ficiency of the service with honesty as,
Of course, the corner stone of efficiency
must be the prime test Of what you
do
The. president said that exceptions to
rules will always be found necessary
mentioning promotions by the system
Of written competitive examination as
an instance where the best results were
not secured He urged the delegates
not to be afraid to make these keep
lions, but" he continued. ''be sure
you are making the exception for pro-
per reasons.
I'm other words, do not believe for
one moment that any system of rules
can be devised under which It Will be
possible to shield yourself from the
duty of exercising your own Judgment
your own Independence.
After considerable experience in al
most every kind of governmental work,
I have never yet found any position or
any branch Of the service as regards
which the intrusion Of political reasons
in making appointments does not do
damage
Il am now naturally brought into re-
lations with a great number of import
ant offices in different branches Of the
government throughout the country
and I continually have to consider the
question of efficiency with which they
are handled. Practically without ex-
ception I find that an Office in which
there is 1axness in the administration
of civil service law where there is an
effort to c1rcumvent' the law, where
there is effort to get around it. is an
Office in which poor service is rendered:
the chance for fraud, for speculation.
for dishonesty, Is always greater in
such an Office than IN the Office where
the law is well and faithfully observed.
And while of course it is true that the
mere observance of the civil service
law can never result in a thoroughly ef-
f1cient administration of any Office. vet
am inclined more and more to feel
that the observance in letter and spirit
Of the civil service law is the first re-
Quisite in obtaining clean, decent eff
cient governmental service in any
branch or bureau of the government .

TILLMAN TO ROOSEVELT
Fire Eating Senator's Formal Reply
to Presidents Letter.

Washington, May 16.-The state
ment Of Senator Tillman made before
the senate late Tuesday afternoon was
as follows:
There are only two points in the
presidents letter which I deem worthy
of notice. His attempted explanation
Is ingenious but not ingenious, He
calls in question the integrity of pur-
pose and utterance of Mr.. Chandler by
declaring:
He was asked to see ex-senator
Chandler as representing Mr. Tillman
who was in charge of the bill He
stated to me the views of Mr.. Tillman
with seeming authority
Mr. Chandler has declared most
positively in a written statement that
the president sent for him for the pur-
pose of getting into communication
with Senator Bailey and myself and he
has produced the letter of Mr. Loeb.
II now declare most emphatically
that to no human being have I ever
given authority or even expressed
wish to have any conference with
Theodore Roosevelt in regard to the
bill now under consideration. On the
contrary, I have expressed the opinion
in more than one public interview that
he had nothing to do with 1t and that
it was the business of the senate and
while I did, at his request, enter into
negotiations with the attorney. general,
It IS well known to every senator on
this floor what my attitude and feel
ings have been and 1t is most remark
able while the president sent for Dem
ocrat after Democrat to confer with
him about this measure that he should
undertake under the circumstances to
assert that I sent an agent to him to
begin negotiations. The statement Is
absurd on its face.
1.-THE other principle to which I shall
refer is the cavalier way in which Mr.
Moody discusses the idea of the presi-
dent not being bound
while contradicting in no instance.
however slight, my statement of what
occurred, the attorney general seems
to think that the code of honor among
gentlemen is not binding upon the ex-
ecutiye and his cabinet
The president asked him to see Mr..
Bailey and myself We met by ap-
pointment made by Senator Chandler
and talked over the vital question He
wrote and sent to Mr.. Bailey his IN
Outstanding of our views and when we
met subsequently we reached an alb
solutely agreement, both as to the
form and the substance of a proposed
amendment to which the president
would assent and help get votes for.
of course the president was not
pound not to change, but he was
bound under such circumstances to
give notice and this was not done
Even the attorney general himself was
notified. The charge I made and still
make IS that the president Is guilty Of
bad faith and that the rate bill which
VIII be- when enacted into law, a much
better and stronger measure than we
had hoped to get has been emasculated
OF one of its most valuable and es-
ton.
Il am ready to leave the whole
question to the thoughtful and honor
able men of the country
