BLAMES ALL ON MOROCCO.
German Delegate Says Minister Mis-
understood French Minister.

German Delegate Says Minister Mis-
understood French Minister.
Paris, Jan. 12.-With the approach
LOT the Algeciras convention on Moroc-
can reforms, the newspapers devote
greater space to discussion of the ques-
ton. Public opinion everywhere is
that the issue of the conference will be
amicable has been practically decided.
The Journals Madrid correspondent
sends an interview with the Germa am
hassador at Madrid, Herr Won RADIO
witt, who is also the principal German
delegate to the convention. The am
bassador, the correspondent Gays, has
no doubt of the favorable issue of the
conference. He believes the whole dis
agreement is due to the Moroccan min
ister's not understanding or misinter-
preting the words of the French minis
ter to Morocco, willfully or otherwise,
and says if the nultan's delegates try to
prevent an agreement being reached by
the powers, as it has been suggested
thes S.Tid do5 they will find them
selves in most serious situation. But
the ambassador is of the opinion that
the Moroccan delegates fully appreciate
this and will give no trouble.

Revolt Against Cannon.

Washington, Jan. O. Speaker Can
mons efforts to win the insurgents over
to the Hamilton joint statehood bill
have met with little success apparent
ly, and the joint statehood proposition
is still shrouded in uncertainty. The
insurgents claim they have more than
SO votes, the number which, coupled
with the solid Democratic vote, will
force consideration of amendments to
the Hamilton bill. Two or three Re-
publicans are reported to have been
won over to the administration meas
ure, through Speaker Cannon.

Washington, Jan. 8. - With over an
hour devoted to the District of Column

for tariff revision from the
Democratic standpoint.

Monday, Jan, 8.

Washington, Jan. 8.-The senate to-
today gave attention to the Panama
canal, the situation in Santo Domingo
and the merchant marine shipping
bill.
The canal bill question came up in
connection with a message from the
president, in which, among other
things, he invited the closest scrutiny
into all that had been done by the gov
eminent in the 1sthmus of Panama.
German made that utterance the text
for speech, in which he criticised the
salaries paid for work in connection
with the canal, and urged congression-
al inquiry. He said that the president
was not so much TO blame as congress for
his assumption of control on the 18TH
mus, and that the chief mistake had
been made when congress released it's
hold upon canal affairs. He agreed
with German in urging the rights of
congress in connection with the canal,
and said that, while congress had dele
gated the matter to the president, the
latter practically had referred the
whole matter back to congress.
The senate took up the merchant
marine shipping bill and Gallinger
spoke in support of that measure.
Quoting the utterances of Presidents
Mckinley and Roosevelt on the i'm
portance of building up the merchant
marine, he urged congress to heed these
admonitions by passing law that
would relieve the situation.
Gallinger estimated that the aggre-
gate expense to the government for the
entire ten years of the proposed sub
sides would be $40, 200, 900, and that
the amount being devoted to the en-
couragement of irrigation is many
times larger.
The senate then, at Alb P. NJ, went
into executive session, and at 4:20 adj
journed.

Washington, Jan. 9 The Philip
pine tariff measure was the single topic
of consideration in the house today.
The speeches were uniformly against
the measure and were allowed to 60, in
general, without answer. DEPRESSION
in the form of tariff revision discussion
was made in a brief speech by Gillette,
of Massachusetts,, who favored Cana
dian reciprocity. Bonynge, of Colo
RADIO, discussed the bill from the stand
point of the beet sugar industry.

in THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS
Thursday, January II.

Washington, Jan. H. Before going
into executive session today, the senate
| stoned to speech by Hepburn in
support of his bill creating a national
board for the control of corporations,
in which he denounced Wall street be-
cause of its alleged interference with
the affairs of the country. He said
that when the "street" could not die
tate the financial course of the govern
ment, it was ever ready to threaten
disaster, and he pleaded for legislation
that would rob it of such power for
evil.
The remainder of the open session
was devoted to discussion of the prac-
tice of the senate of sending resolutions
to the calendar after they had been
under discussion. Bacon raised the
point of order that there was no rule
requiring such course, and said his
Moroccan resolution had been improp-
erly placed on the calendar. He also
contended that the resolution had not
had a days discussion. The matter
was not disposed of in open session.
He argued that he could not say what
had occurred when the question was
under consideration in secret session,
but when pressed said that if permitted
to do so he would say that the resolu-
ton itself had not been considered at
that time. On the suggestion of Nor
gan, the senate at l 20 p. m. went into
secret session for the consideration of
the subject.
Washington, Jan. IL. The Philip
pine tariff debate in the house today
consisted more of party maneuvering
for advantageous campaign material
than of discussion OF the question at
is5ue. The tariff was the text of a
speech by Grosvenor. of Ohio, who be-
gan the debate, and OF an extended re-
ply by Williams, the minority Leader
The speech of Grosveor was speed with
witticisms and enlivened with Interrupt
ton from Champ Clark, at whom Gros-
venor aimed most of his arguments.
Williams outlined the specific tariff
doctrine of the Democratic party and
held that the Republican tariff was
net, as so ottenrclaimad res ponsihle for
the prosperity Of the country. To
prove this, he cited the prosperity OF
Canada, Mexico and other countries at
the present time, and the business de-
preston of these countries during the
hard times of 1898.
Adams, of Wisconsin, opposed the
bill, but advocated the readiustment of
the tariff on business principles. Nc
Kinley, of California, delivered his
first speech in the house in favor of the
measure, and pointed finger of warm
ing toward the growing industries Of
Japan.

and liberal applause from both sides of
the chamber.
Tuesday, Jan. 9.

Washington, Jan. 8. The propriety
of discussing in open senate resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Bacon cal
ling upon the president for an account
of his appointment of delegates to
proposed conference in Moroccan affairs
to be held by European powers at AL
gericas, Spain, was considered for four
hours today, and then by strict party
vote, it was decided that the resolution
should be executive business. Bacon
in supporting his resolution, commended
for public session. and SpooneT de-
clared that the adoption of the resolu-
ton would be an encroachment by the
senate upon the constitutional rights
of the president, and virtually of his
powers as chief magistrate.

Wednesday. Jan. 10.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The senate
made it plain today that it had yester-
day all that it wants to hear for the
present on the Moroccan question
There were two opportunities to resume
consideration of the subject, but both
were avoided, apparently with the as
sent of all the members, and the senate
adjourned at a comparatively early
hour rather than take it up.
Notwithstanding the early adjourn
ment, great deal of business was dis
posed of. About 80 bills were passed,
leaving on the calendar only six or sew
en-. OF those passed large majority
grant private pensions and many are
bridge bills. One of the bills favorab-
ly acted upon appropriates $780, 900 for
the appropriate marking of the graves
OF Confederate soldiers who died in
Northern prisons during the Civil war.
For the rest of the session the senate
gave attention in turn to the question
of salaries paid to Panama canal off,
Gals, to the pure food bill and the
merchant marine shipping bill, but
without taking action on any one Of
those subjects. The canal subject was
discussed by Simmons and the pure
food bill by Hepburn. The only action
taken on the shipping bill was that of
reading it at length.
Washington, Jan. 10. - A vigorous
speech in favor of the Philippine tariff
bill by Dalzell opened the proceedings
in the house today. 1t was followed by
several others against the measure,
most notable of which was two-hour
address by the veteran statesman, ex-
Speaker Keller, of Ohio, who returns to
the house after a retirement of 20
years. Keller bespoke "standpat"
doctrine of the most pronounced type.
He said he would oppose the pending
bill because it was a concession to
Democratic principles. His speech was
replete with recol,ections of earlier
days and received the closest attention

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Even the most captious of critics must acknowledge that the bill at the Jacques this week is from end to end one big hit. The only way to express the sensation created by Bailey and Austin. the hobo comedians. with their uproarious knock.aboui act. is to say that it was riot from start to finish. Impossible to describe. the skit is one shriek of laughter. and the audience last night fairly tied itself into knots with delight. Whatever you do don't miss this bit of tomfoolery. It's sure cure for mental indigestion. The Nil- lage Choir made another tremendous hit with n singing act that is quiet. re- fined and of the very best type of quar- let. There is just enough of the spirit of real fun in it to give 1t spice. but there is a praiseworthy lack of horse play. Eckert and Berg present "The Land of Two Moons" as effectively as ever and 1t was with difficulty that NIT Eckert could get away from the piano. so insistent was the applause An- other big success was scored by kath- arine Dahl. a soprano with voice that sings and and an assistant who rem ,Iers valuable service in the song "lf a Girl Like You" which set the house wild last night. Two splendid aero batic acts. the Aerial Shaws and the three Navarios. completed the bill. and the electrograph has series of com esly pictures.

No better guarantee of the excel lence of the Palma clubs minstrel show at POli's theater next Monday and Tuesday nights could be given than the announcement that the show will he produced under the personal direction of Thomas NJ. Freney. MT Freney has had years of experience with amateur productions and the sue cess of the previous minstrel perform ances given by the Talma club has been due in great measure to the in- telligent supervision of one who knows what people like and knows how 10 give it to them. Mir Freneg is long on both of these features and the audi ences which will witness the result of his work next week will undoubtedly appreciate this fact.
