PUBLIC GAINING CONFIDENCE.
French People Feel That Through
Geographical Position It Should
Have Privileged Position ~ Ger
many Has Never yiel led.

Paris, Jan. 8. Public uneasiness
over the Moroccan conference has I'M
dergone a distinct Improvement This
Is due mainly to the confident atti-
tude of the officials Of the foreign
Office, who consider the selection by
the Italian government Of Marquis
Visconti Venosta to head its delega-
ton as strengthening the position Of
France. 1t is evident that the off
Gals hold the view that IL France can
secure the support of the great pow
ers having tangible interests in the
Mediterranean and -Iorocco 1t will
be difficult for Germany to stand
againct the force of this moral nflu,
ence. Therefore Italy's choice of the
Marquis Visconti Venosta, who was
one of the earliest advocates of the
Franco-ltalian entente, strengthens
the governments expectation Of the
united support of the leading Medi-
terranean powers.
The martial tone Of the press has
considerably diminished, and the SEN
sational branch of it no longer prints
alarmist reports of the frontier pre-
.parations. Nevertheless the public
and the press continue, though with
opoo for 10 Inn aco touo rdc tho In, mona
tive need of completing military pre-
parations.
Now that the French delegates are
preparing to start to Algiers, there is
evidence of the greatest firmness in
upholding the French position, the
essential feature of which is that
France through her geographical
proximity to Morocco, which is anal
gous to that of the position Of the
United States toward Cuba, and
through her vast Algerian borders, is
justly entitled to have special and
privileged position in Morocco.
Germany, while yielding much, has
never clearly yielded the claim Of
France to special position in Mo-
rocco. This is the vital issue and the
minor questions regarding police, GUS
toms, finance and contraband can be
adjusted once 1t Is definitely settled
whether France has or has not spe-
cial position in Morocco.
II the French position is upheld,
the conference 1t is expected will
charge France with the police, Gus
toms and other duties. Against this
Germany will seek to secure interna-
tional control OF the police, the GUS
toms and other matters, thus giving
all nations, including Germany, the
same status in Morocco as that of
France.
The French delegates will start
without the slightest thought Of yield
ing in or compromising the essential
principles of Frances proved posi-
ton, and therein lies the danger OF
the Franco-German outlook.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Temps says that Germany. following
the action of the United State and
Great Britain. is sending a squadron
10 Algerias. The paper says that
France thus far has not ordered a
squadron to the neighborhood of the
conference. 1t adds that the Brit
ish squadrons, comprising the chan
mel, home and cruiser squadrons, will
rendezvous in Cadiz bay near AL
geries in the middle of February.

MILLIONS OF
ACRES ARE
BURNED

BY Associated Press.
SANTA FE, N. NJ, Nov. 23.-Reports
have reached here that a prairie fire
has swept from Western Texas into
Eastern New Mexico and that over a
million acres of grazing and homestead
land has been burned bare of foliage.
No loss of life is reported I'm New
Mexico, but it Is believed several per-
sons perished in Texas. 1t is estimated
that on both sides of the boundaries be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 head of cattle
have been left without grazing. Many
ranchers are preparing to ship their
live stock at once to the nearest mar
ket, While the larger ranchers will
drive their cattle to other ranges.
The grass was short and the cattle
stampeded back and forth through the
fire, but suffered little injury
The flames swept portions of Palmer,
Deafa. Smith and Oldham counties in
Texas and burned for thrty-five or
forty miles to the Pecos road in New
Mexico. Some homesteaders in Roose-
welt county are said to have lost their
crops Some ranch buildings were
burned, but the ranchers generally
succeeded in beating off the flames by
back fire.
A norther turned the fire back into
its own track and it died out. The
blackened prairie is now covered with
snow which fell during and after the
fire

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 23.--JosepE
f, Smith, president Of the Mormon
church, this afternoon appeared in th
state district court before Judge Ritch-
lie, pleaded guilty to the charge of un-
lawful cohabita tion and a fine of $500
was imposed.
Earlier in the day counsel for Pres
ident Smith secured a transfer of the
case from the criminal division of the
court, where Judge Armstrong pre-
sided, to Judge Ritchie's division,
After the noon recess, when the court
room was practically deserted Presi-
dent Smith went before Judge Ritchie,
entered his plea and the fine was inn
posed.
President Smith made a lengthy
statement to the court explaining the
attitude of the authorities of the Nor
mon church in relation to polygamy
and polygamous cohabitation.
The charge under which the Mormon
prophet was arrested and fined was
made by Charles Mostyn owen, who
had been active in crusade against
the Mormon authorities. The charge
was based on the recent birth of Pres
ident Smiths forty-third child, born
to his fifth wife.
President Smith, in his personal ad-
dress to the court, stated that his last
marriage was in 1884. All his mar
riages, he stated, were entered into
with the sanction of his church, and,
as they believed with the approval of
the Lord. According to his faith and
the law of the church, they were eter-
nal in duration, He continued:
