CONFIDENT OF GETTING
 COURT REVIEW FEATURE
FEELING OF SENATOR'S OPPOSED TO PRESENT RATE
 MEASURE.

Debate in Senate Develops New Phase
 of the SituatiOn-Friends of the Bill
 Divided Among ThemseIves--Senti-
 ment Growing That 1t Should Not be
 Accepted in Its Present Form
 Messrs. Bailey and TilIman Announce
 Their Intention to Hold Out for an
 Amendment.
 Washington, March 7.-The issues ir- volved in the controversy over the pending railroad rate bill were squarely presented to the senate to-day in the speech of Senator Clapp. one of the republicans supporting the measure without amendment and by resultant remarks from Senators Bailey and Tillman, who are supposed to repre- sent the views of the democrats. The discussion of these speeches later by senators on both sides of the chamber, developed new phase of the situation. Senators Aldricll, Foraker, Crane, and the other republicans who are seeking to amend the bill So as to provide for judicial review of orders of the inter- state commerce commission took the position that the discussion of the sub- ject demonstrated that the friends of the measure are divided and that the bill should not be accepted in it's pres enJ form. They said they were en- ocuraged in the position they had talk en from the first and declared that when the bill is brought to a vote they will have supporters enough to adopt a court review feature.
 Discussing what he viewed as the wavering among the supposed friends of the Hepburn bill, Senator Aldrich de- clared:
 "Of this much I am certain. We have our end of the schooner firmly anchored and if we go down it will be with fly ing colors,'
 Senator Bailey took the position that an order of the commission should con- tinue in effect pending final disposition by the supreme court of the United States, and that congress could limit the enjoining powers of courts other than the supreme court.
 After the termination of the debate, | both Senators Bailey and Tillman an nounced ttheir decisions to hold out for an amendment intended not to interfere with the operation of the rate making powers which the bill purposes to con- fer on the commission, but which would save to the railroads all of the rights to their day in court, which they pos sess under existing statutes.
 A great deal has been said concern ing Senator Bailey's intention to offer an amendment on this subject, but he 1 denied to-day that he would do so. It is known that he has prepared an amendment which will be offered by some member of the committee on in- | terstate commerce. This is taken to mean that he will submit his ideas to some of his party colleagues who are members of the committee, and that some one of them will offer 1t in an effort to have it made a committee amendment
 In any event 1t Is believed that an agreement or decision to disagree is nearer than it has been at any time since the bill was reported.

CANCELLATION IN THE AIR
REPORTS OF AGREEMENT AT ALGEOIRAS IN CIRCULATION

Neutral Delegates Quite Optimistic
 Relative to an Arrangement of Diff
 ferences at the Last MOment-'To-
 days Session Awaited With Intense
 tributed Among EnvOys.
 Algeciras, Spain, March 1.-The French police project was distributed late this evening among the delegates to the conference of Moroccan reforms. The proposition which will be presented to the conference tomorrow consists of five paragraps, the substance of which is as follows:
 The Moroccan police, to be constitut- ed for three years, composed of Moor ish Mussulmans commanded by sixteen French and Spanish officers and thirty two non-commissionsd officers; the force to consist of 2,OOO to 2,50o men, distributed among the eight ports in bodies of from 200 to 300; the state bank to advance funds for the administration and for the payment of the force.
 No mention Is made of international supervision, and the project, therefore, is practically the same as was outlined in M, Revoil's declaration on Monday.
 The result of to-morrows sitting of the conference Is awaited with the most intense interest. Reports relative to the probability of an agreement are circulated on all sides. Consolidation is in the air, and continued efforts in that direction are going on, but tangible basis for possible arrangement Is not apparent.
 The German delegates do not display any outward sign of making conces- sions, while Frances latest utterance is indisputably opposed to further conces- sions. The neutral delegates are quite optimistic relative to an arrangement of differences at the last moment.
