HEAD OF FRENCH DELEGATION
is CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
N. Revolt Tells Correspondent 1t Is
a Case Of "Monroe Doctrine"
With France,

Algeclras, Spain, Jan. 14.-Amid the
roar of the guns of Spanish warships,
Mohammed FL Torres, Moroccan minis
ter of foreign affairs, who will repre-
sent Morocco in the conference, land
ed here this afternoon. II was a pic
turesque scene, suggestive of the
struggle about to begin among the
powers over Morocco. The entire pop
ulation, made up mainly of throngs of
Moors and Spaniards, packed the
quays to witness the debarkation of
the Moroccan statesman and his suite
from the Spanish cruiser Rio del La
Plata, which arrived unexpectedly.
The party consisted of 81 persons, all
richly garbed in flowing white robes
and wearing white and red turbans.
The Spanish state coaches, which were
brought from Seville, received Mo-
manned El Torres and his suite and
took them to a villa alongside those
set apart for the British and French
delegations.
Gibraltar was another center of at
traction today owing to the gathering
of many fleets. American bluejackets
were conspicuous about the streets,
where they fraternized with the Brit
ish sailors. Many sailors of the AM
erican fleet gathered to witness the
British dress parade at the garrison.
General Sigsbee and the captains of
the American squadron were the re-
elpients of many courtesies.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press talked with M. Revolt, head of
the French delegation, during the trip
here. Revolt said he did not wish to
grant an informal interview, but the
conversation brought out the follow
ing points having special reference to
the United States: "The corresponds
ent asked M. Revolt why France oceu-
pied special position in Morocco, in
reply to which the delegate pointed
out that geographical proximity and
extent of the Algerian frontier con-
tributed largely to establish this spec
ial position. When 1t was suggested
that the Monroe doctrine was based
upon the theory of geographical prox-
unity, the statesman strongly assented,
remarklng upon the natural special
position which the United States occu-
pied toward South and Central Amer
lea Only recently he said, this spe-
cial interest had been shown toward
Cuba and Panama, and at present was
being exercised in the case of the rela-
tlons of France with Venezuela.
You can readily judge from the
American standpoint" said Revolt
"how the proximity of France to Mo-
rocco gives us natural and legitimate
concern as to that country"
The correspondent suggested further
the analogy of the boundary Of Mexico
and the United States, which was SINH
lar to the boundary between Algeria
and Morocco. Revolt said this was q
happy comparison, pointing out thai
the United States would be the power
having the chief interest concerning
The future of the country just across
its borders. and that France had JUS
such an interest in Morocco, which
was on the other side of the French
border. Revolt would not discuss the
conference. but by his bearing he
showed his confidence that 1t would
Ilave a satisfactory result Nj

incidentally the staff crltlcizes with
greatest freedom the conditions under
which the first little American army
was transported to Santiago to begin
the Spanish American war.

France and Germany are the two most
important factors i'm the conference,
and the attitude of their representa-
tives will be followed closely.
Although it is yet to be decided
whether the decisions of the confer

of power lies with other nations: so
there is every reason to hope that con-

the negotiations.
In Great Britain the general cleo

than next Sunday. The pipe line was
cut in two places but the breaks can
easily be repaired. and little delay will
be occasioned on this score.
Change Creek Channel.
Before repairs at the power plant
can be effected, it will be necessary
to change the channel of the creek which
now flows directly beneath the north
end of the power house. The force of
the flood at that particular point was
something terrific. Paul Young, fore
man at the electric plant, said yes
terday. In front of the power house
strip of ground 80 feet in width was
washed out between 2 and o'clock
Wednesday morning. The foundation
under the north end of the building
was washed away for distance of
about 20 feet, allowing the cement floor
to give way under the heavy weight of
battery of six transformers. Four of
the transformers dropped into the
creek. One now lies buried under sand
and water so yards below the plant.
The others are partially submerged
close to the plant. Superintendent
Young believes that two of the trans
formers can be repaired and placed in
use again and that the plant will be in
operation by June 10. A concrete re-
tanning wall will be built along the
north side of the power plant to guard
against any future floods.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 4.-Hor-
rifying revelations almost beyond be-
lief are made in the special report on
Chicago packing house conditions by
Commissioner of Labor Neill and
Special Agent Reynolds of New York,
president. In a special message ac-
companying the report Roosevelt de-
urges immediate drastic legislation ac-
cording to the Beveridge amendment.
The report is not nice reading. It's
statements are sickening. 1t shows
that the packers generally displayed
disregard not only for sanitation, but
even for decency. The report says that
the stockyards pavements are mostly
brick filled with manure and refuse
and not properly cleaned, Shiny and
malodorous when wet and dusty when
dry. Stock which died enroute were
thrown on the platform.
Some privies were situated at such
a distance from the work rooms that
men would relieve themselves on the
killing floors or in the corners Of the
work rooms. Hence in some places
urine fumes and the nauseating odors
arising from the dirty blood soaked
and rotting wooden floors were fruit
full culture beds for disease germs Of
men and animals.
The investigators found absence of
cleanliness everywhere in handling Of
meat. The report says that workers
climb over heaps of meat and select
the pieces they wish. Frequently they
throw them upon dirty floors beside

their aprons, which as a rule, are in
describably filthy. Men were seen to
stand on meat tables with shoes COW
cred with filth At lunch hour they
were seen to sit on the spot where
meats were cut under the super1n-
tendent's eyes.
The interior of the buildings is
mostly of wood. The floors are usually
of wood, soaked and Shiny. The rooms
are poorly lighted, illy-ventilated and
matte ventilation is not found any

was found for meats. The sanitary
conveniences for employees show the
employers Indifference to cleanliness.
The retiring rooms adjoin the work

the latter by low partitions. Many are
without side air openings. A condition
that affects most directly the cleanli-

absence of lavatOry provisions in pri-

and dirty, neither towels nor soap be-
