The WORLD will rejoice 10 known that
the controversy over Morocco is settled.
The international conference at Afgeci-
ras has reached an amicable agreement
upon the disputed points of police and
financial control. There is no occasion
to enlarge greatly upon the question Of
defeat as between France and Ger
many. Each has gained something,
and each has conceded something. On
the whole, France has undoubtedly
maintained her original policy to much
greater extent than Germany has hers.
Early in the controversy the German
Colonial Society and the Pan-Germanic
League urged that the imperial govern
ment should insist upon Germany's hav-
ing at least one Moroccan port for her
own and also important commercial and
territorial concessions. That was the
extreme German view. A more mode
rate view was that of the Chancellor,
Count Won Bulow, who declared thai
Germany's interests in Morocco were
economic and nothing more. The Ger
man demands urged at Algeciras were
between these two extremes, and. sf.er
several weeks of diplomatic sparring,
both France and Germany have mani
tested disposition to be conservative
and the Moroccan incident is now a
thing OF the past.

Calve in Montreal.

What the papers there had to say of
the famous Carmen: "Calve, in bet
ter voice than when formerly here
with the opera company, was well
coined by particularly large and
brilliant audience. Her initial appear
ance was warmly greeted. This was
demonstrated with ample satisfaction
when at the close of the 'Habernera
form Carmen, the audience insisted
on again hearing the voice Of Bizet's
most famous heroine"
Her program in Spokane on Monday
evening, January 18th, will be made
up of the numbers phich were given
the greatest acclaim at her most i'm
portant Eastern appearances, in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. The
selections are calculated to show the
rich, melodious voice of the famous So
prano at its best, and to permit her
fascinating, magnetic personality to
have it's most engaging effect. Equal
care has been exercised in choosing the
numbers for the assisting artists, so
that the program from first to iast is
one of the most artistic and interest
ing ever offered there.

Haverstraw, N. Y. Jan. 9.-At least
ID persons are believed to have per-
ished in the land slide when carried
everal tenement housesdown in clay
pit here during the night. Undermined
by the shifting clay that had softened
by the recent snowfall, the several
homes with their three score of sleep
ing occupants, toppled over the brink
of the pit and tumbled to pieces. The
houses, which were of wood, were set
fire from overturned stoves and the
debris was soon mess of flames.
Some 80 or more tenants escaped with
more or less serious injuries, while a
number, variously estimated at from 20
to %, are believed TO have been killed
outright or burned to death.
The landslide occurred ON Rutland
street, in the east end of the town
where two blocks of houses are sup
posed Ito have been undermined by dig
ging clay for brick making.

HEPBURN BILL
TO BE PRESENTED

Washington, Jan. IL. The republic
can members Of the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce, in
conference have agreed to support
the Hepburn railroad rate bill with a
few notifications, which were agreed
on and which relate chiefly TO court
procedure. These notifications were
taken from the provisions of the Esch-
Townsend bill. are in the nature of a
compromise with the supporters of that
measure. The committee will report
the bill to the house. Representative
Townsend of Michigan, author of the
Townsend bill, which was consolidated
with the Esch bill and passed at the
last session, it is announced will make
the opening speech in the house in fav-
or of the Hepburn bill.
1t is planned to bring in rule on
the Hepburn bill when it is considered
in the house so as to prevent amend
ments except on the first day of the de-
bate. The democrats, however, are to
be permitte to offer substitute on
which they can go on record. This
course, it is pointed ont, is the same as
was followed with the Ecsh- Townsend
bill. when the democrats submitted the
Davey DILL. The republican members
of the committee express the opinoin
that the debate in the house probably
will continue not over week.

Predicts a Panic.

Unless there is currency reform a
panic, beside which former panics will
seem insignificant, was predicted by
Jacob A. Schitf, head of the banking
firm of Kuhn, Loeb q Co.. in a speech
before the New York chamber of COM
MERGE recently. Mr.. Schiff said he
did not regard such panic as immi-
nent, but believed it will come unless
something is done to remedy the lack
Of elacticity of the currency system.
He declared that he did not favor the
plan proposed by Secretary Shaw for
the relief of the situation. it being his
opinion that the plan would aid specu-
lation rather than legitimate business.
He favored a currency based on COM
mercial paper as more helpful to the
business interests. The speech Gre
ated sensation in financial circles
and caused a sharp break in prices ON
the stock exchange.
