der washed his bloody hands and left
the bloody water in the room, after
which he escaped.
A gold watch and some silver money
and currency were not disturbed, and
nothing was taken from the room.

an, and was 60 years old. DR.. Trayn-

Want to Buy PhiIipnines.

Victoria, B. c., Feb. 2O.-Some Jap
anese newspapers are advocating the
purchase of the Philippines from the
United States according to advices re-

have cost the United States much
money and no substantial advantages
have been secured and that Japan
could meet with more success, as the
United States has failed because of
racial differences between ruler and
ruled, and the long distance which sep
arates the government and the islands.
Concluding, the Yorodsu Hocho illus
trates Japanese success in Formosa.

Official Sentiment Is That Germany's

ness of the Conference by Making
Agreement Impossible.
Paris, Feb. 20.-Germany's rejection
OF Frances proposal at Algeciras that
that the proposed Moroccan police sys-
tenn shall be French and Spanish, has
given renewed gravity to the Franco
German situation.
1t is officially announced that Ger
manys action leaves France no course
put to terminate the private negotia-
tlons and appeal to the judgment of
the world before the open conference
This decision suspends the meetings
between M. Revolt, head of the French
mission as Algeciras, and Herr Won
Radowitz, chief of the German dele
cation at which they have been seek
ing to find an accord.
The neutral powers, including the
United States strongly approved of
these private exchanges as being the
best means of avoiding an open discus
sion of the controversy The failure
to agree and Frances determination
to end the private negotiations bring
the parties to dead lock- This prom
lses to result in a prolonged crisis in
which each side maintains the posi-
tions which it took up before the open
conference. The sentiment in official
circles is that Germany's reply lends
to destroy the usefulness of the con-
ference by making an agreement i'm
possible.
Reports are in circulation to the eff
feet that France intends to withdraw
from the conference but they are not
confirmed
1t is expected that the strained sit
uation will have the effect of renewing
the alarmist war reports and of arous-
ing public apprehension.
