MOROCCO TROUBLES
FRANCE and GERMANY PROBABLY
WILL AGREE TO AGREE.
II Is Said Both Sides Would Make Con-
cessions as to Reforms in Morocco
Paris EIated Over First Ballot Be-
fore TribunaI-Most of Europe on
Side of France.

Algeciras, March 5.-One of the dele
gates having a most vital interest in
the conference on Moroccan reforms,
says that settlement of the contrO-
versy between France and Germany
now seemed possible, but he declined
to make nnOwn the lines the arrange
ment would take. However, the trend
OF recent events has indicated that if
any settlement is reached, it would
likely be because France would make
concessions with refernce to the bank
question, and Germany in return would
adopt less uncompromising attitude
concerning the police.
The voting at Algeciras Saturday on
the proposition of Sir Arthur Nichol-
son, chief of the British delegation, to
proceed to the immediate discussion of
the Moroccan police question gives
great satisfaction in Paris, chiefly be-
cause France has ranged with her a
large majority of the powers, while
Germany is among the small minority
Public tension was such over the Fran
co-German controversy that the vote
was welcomed both as a success and
as showing that France was able to
count upon almost unbroken support
OF Europe. French officials have
claimed for some time that if a vote
were possible it would give France a
sweeping majority. 1t appears that
Saturdays division did not produce a
recorded vote. yet the powers aligned
themselves with sufficient precision to
amount to vote. All the French jour-
nails give the division in the form Of a
vote, the eight voting in the affirmative
being France, Great Britain, Russia,
Spain, Portugal, the United States,
Italy and Holland, and the negative
three being Germany, Austria and
Morocco. The officials here have been
considering Austria as doubtful, and
had Austria balloted in the affirmative,
the entire vote of Europe and America
would have been ranged on the side of
France
The result also affects the dipfo-
matte status of the controversy. Ger
many wants to settle the bank ques-
ton before that of the police, but
France does not wish to grant conces-
sions on the bank until she is sure that
Germany will make reciprocal move
concerning the police. Therefore, the
decision of the conference to consider
the police question requires that Ger
many shall say whether she is or is
not prepared to change her attitude
relative to the police. Germany's
answer will thus determine whether
France will yield on the. bank ques-
ton. The indications are that if Ger
many refuses to give way on the police
France will not yield on the bank,
thus accentuating the former deadlock
by carrying it into the open confer
ence.

The Electrified Lamp Chimney.
A very simple but beautiful expert
ment may be made by any bright boy
with a straight lamp-chimney. the kind
used with the Argand or the Welsbach
gas-light. First, cut a narrow strip Of
tin-foil and paste it around the chin
ney, in the middle. Then paste a strip
Of the same from one end Of the Chin
ney to within about half an inch of the
band in the middle.
Now take bristle brush, the kind
made to clean lamp-chimneys with, and
over its bristles wrap a perfectly dry
silk handkerchief. Hold the chimney
in your left hand so that your fingers
do not touch the tin-foil anywhere, and
putting the silk-covered brush into the
chimney, rub it briskly back and forth.
This part of the experiment should
be made in the dark, and if, while rub
bling the chimney, you take the brush
out now and then, you will see, every
time you do so, big spark of electric

Madam Gadski.

Madam Johanna Gadski, the famous
Gadski, is to delight Spokane music
lovers on Saturday. March "a, when
she is to appear at the Spokane the
alter. This is the second year that
Madam Gadski has appeared in con-
cert, though she was long known as
one of the most popular and capable
members of the Metropolitan Opera
company in New York.
The versatile Gadski sings the more
important roles in German, French
and Italian. Her musical and dramatic
temperament is credited with satisfy
ing even the most critical in such
difficult roles as Brunnhilde in die
Walkure." Eva in die Meistersin-
GER" Elizabeth in "Tannhauser," and
Aida in Verdi's tuneful opera of the
same name.
Her appearance in Spokane may
prove the occasion for a great out
pouring of music lovers of the Inland
Empire, as she is one of the most
popular songbirds of the American
stage today.
