CONCERN IS FELT
ABOUT The OUTCOME
Of Germanv's CIa ms At The
Moroccan Conference.
MAY FAIL TO REACH AGREEMENT
1t Is Said in Government Circles that
Even a Failure to Reach an Agree
ment on Police Question, is Proba
BILE at Algercas Conference.

Berlin, Feb. 7.-While government
circles maintain an outwardly hopeful
attitude regarding the conference a
Algeciras, the indications are tha
much concern is felt about the out
come. Even failure to reach al
agreement on the police question is re
garded as probable.
This inference is drawn from the
fact that the inspired press had begur
discussing the probable results of {
failure to reach an agreement These
papers assert that a failure would MOI
involve the danger OF war so far as
Germany is concerned, and they argue
that France would never go to wal
on account of Morocco.
These papers interpret the warming
of the Haya's agency against "exces
sive optimism as proving the pacific
intentions of the Paris government
The result of a failure to reach ar
agreement would be, according to Ger
man inspired utterances, that MOroc
can anairs would continue to be reg
ulated under the arrangement of 1880
But some observers point out that the
controversy of 1905 originated in spite
of that arrangement and that the con
ference being due to German initia
tive, its failure would involve serious
damage to German prestige
The Hamburger Nachricten says q
failure of the conference would inten-
sify the friction between Germany and
France, and compromise Germany 8

on Hand April 1.
New York, Feb. 7.-Following the
meeting of presidents Of several of
the anthracite coal roads, there was
an intimation given in quarters friend
ly to the operators that the anthracite
coal which had been mined was so
much in excess of the demand that a
shut down in the mines may be nee
essary, If there is no strike on April l.
Henry S. Fleming, secretary of the
bituminous coal trade, which includes
most Of the large soft coal fields, and
Secretary Of the anthracite coal oper-
ators, made public estimates which he
| had been collecting as to the probable
proportion of miners who will obey the
strike order. In the anthracite dis
trict, he said, 80 per cent of the min
ers would strike.
In calculating the men who are like
ly to strike in the soft coal districts,
he said he found that miners was
| much weaker in organization than was
uSudfly supposed, ana he DdS6d MS
calculations on the proportion of non
union men and the result of former
soft coal strikes.
LAS to anthracite" he said, "the
average summer consumption is two
millions tons a month, and the aver
age winter consumption is eight mil
lion tons month. Up to the present
the consumption has been far behind
the quantity mined. About sixteen
million tons of anthracite have been
mined in excess of the demand, and
there are nearly two months before
April l in which coal can be mined
For some time back the railroad
companies have been stocking up an
thracite and they never had such a
large supply before.
Mr.. Fleming estimated that even al
lowing for cold weather, there would
be five months supply of anthracite
on hand on April l.
