Special Cable to The Journal.

Special Cable to The Journal.
- ONDON, March 24.-One of the
most significant collateral devel-
= opments of the Algeciras con-
ference is general entente between
Great Britain and Austria Hungary,
arising indirectly from the exchange Of
view between the London and Vienna
governments concerning Morocco.
It is understood that Sir Edward
Grey, British foreign secretary, mind
full of the early expiration Of the term
for which the triple alliance was last
renewed, is planning special agree
ment, the conditions of which will still
further isolate Germany, tho not pre-
venting further renewal of the drei-
bund for purposes strictly limited An
entente is not, of course, an alliance,
but it is very effective substitute for
an alliance.
It is also evident that Germany's
methods of pushing her North African
aspirations have resulted in distinct
fusing of interests by Russia and Spain
with the Anglo-French partnership.
Spain, whose people have entirely
resented Germany's policy of regard
ing Spanish interests and influences as
negligible quantities, has thrown in
her lot with France with an enthusiasm
that makes Teutonic diplomacy recog-
nize its initial tactlessness. Meanwhile
Italy, altho observing the utmost dis
erection at Algeciras, is proclaiming by
a hundred tongues her sympathy with
! the French program.

Mitchell Still Has a Plan for
Peace, but Strike
Is Probable.

n INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March "a
The deadlock conference of the
bituminous operators and miners
finally was broken this afternoon. It
was agreed on both, sides that no set
Element can be reached by the joint
scale committee.
A mutual understanding exists that
the whole matter will be referred on
Monday to joint conference of miners
and operators for final disposal. The
negotiations probably will be brought
to an end there within few hours.
Strike Almost Certain.
This makes strike almost certain,
altho F. L. Robbins may decide to carry
his fight for peace into the large con-
vention. eff he does,' said A. J.
Mooreshead Of Illinois, the result will
come speedily ~ ~,
The program now is for short meet
ing Of the joint scale committee Mon
day morning. A formal motion of adj
journment then will be put. The joint
convention probably will mot be assem-
bled before Monday afternoon. It will
hear the report of the scale committee
and determine whether negotiations are
to be continued or ended at once. The
convention may order the scale com
mittee to go out once more and make
an effort to reach an agreement, but
this is regarded as unlikely.
Final disruption.
The opinion prevails tonight that {
final disruption between the operator.

Packers Still Violating the
Law, So Indictments
Are Possible.
BY w. w. Jermane.

pa9Pess Of the " administration isaes
to begin all over again it's
campaign against the beef trust, and
laboriously build up another condition
of affairs that will warrant another
batch of indictments, is regarded here
as the only proper determination to
be reached. 1t is so regarded because
it is exceedingly unlikely, good lawyers
say. that Judge Humphreys decision
as to immunities will ever be Endorsed
by another federal Judge sitting in the
Chicago district.
Without impugning Judge Humph-
rey's motives in the least degree, and
while cheerfully giving him credit for
that honesty Of intention which should
characterize the federal bench, it may
be said without the danger of denial
that his immunity decision has sur
prised and Inundated the administra-
tion almost beyond expression That
any other judge in the future will
make a similar decision, under a SIM
liar set Of facts, is regarded here as
very unlikely. sss=%s So 8 ~ =
Must "Close Up Shop -
If the Humphrey decision is to be.
come the rule of the federal courts, the
government must close the bureau OF
corporations and dismiss all the officers
of that bureau. The decision has dis
arranged all plans for trust prosecu
tions, and compelled a readjustment Of
trust investigation policies generally
But this readjustment will be only TEN
porary. ...
It is the purpose Of the administra
tion ultimately to proceed de novo, thu
same as if Judge Humphrey had no
spoken, on the assumption that, when ;
case similar in all essentials to tina
just decided is again put up to the fed
eral courts, the government conten
= tions will be sustained.
This policy will be adopted becaus
the government is perfectly clear in it
own mind that Judge Humphreys de
cision while honestly made, is not goo
law, and therefore will not be taken a
the rule by the courts.
Another Structure Possible.
His decision has had the effect o
giving the Chicago packers immunit
for the present, and has orn down til
government s carefully planned stru'
ture of criminal prosecution. But al
other structure can be built upon til
foundations of the old one.
The packers are still violating tt
law, and indictments can be secure
- again Independently of Mr.. CARTEL
just as they were secured before, al
that they are to be so secured is II
=. stout determination Of the preside
= and all his advisers.
If the packers think the president
down and out, they are mistaken. 1t
believed here that his campaign again
them is to be all the more aggressi
because of this temporary backset.
