Favorable Report on am.

Should one or two minor changes In YER
biage. which they recommend, be made, the
Commissioners will report favorably on the
proposed enactment OF the bill to incorpor-

for examination by the District committees

WILLSPEAK TOMORROW
MIR. PATTERsoN,s REMARKS
AWAITED WITH INTEREST. ).

An interesting debate is expected in the
Senate tomorrow on Mr.. Patterson.s reso-
luton censuring the democratic caucus ac-
ton. Mr.. Patterson announced vest ,rday
that he intended to go ahead today but
learned subsequently that Mr.. Bacon had
given notice Of his intention to address the
Senate, and accordingly postponed his
speech. Mr. Patterson's speech Is probably
completely outlined in the resolution which
he offered yesterday.
1t Is expected that several democratic
senators will reply to him. Mr. CuIberson
may take the floor. and Mr.. Bailey also, II
he can be present in the Senate. Mr.. Bailey
Is now in attendance upon his eldest son,
who has undergone an operation for appen-
dicttis.
The tenor of the remarks Of the demo-
Gratis who will oppose the resolution will
to take legislative cognizance Of a political
caucus. Thus far initiative political gather
ings have not been recognized in national
legislation. It will be contended that the
resolution goes beyond its authority.
The republicans are inclined to sit by and
let the democrats fight it out to their
hearts content. They say 1t is the demo-
cratic funeral and not their own. But every
little help they can give to push the dis
sensfon along will be cheerfully extended.
Democratic senators today controvert-
ed the suggestion that this resolution
will have the effect Of weaving away
any more democrats from support Of
the caucus resolution. They claim that
the treaty is surely beaten and that this
contention which has been forced upon
the Senate by Mr.. Patterson will not re-
suit In weakening the democratic line
In the course of Mr.. Bacon's speech in
the Senate today Mr.. Foraker sought to
divert him into a discussion of the action
Of the democratic caucus of last Satur-
day pledging democratic senators to vote
against the Santo Domingo treaty, but
Mr. Bacon refused to anticipate tomor-
rows proceedings, saying only that re-
publican senators were bound by
stronger influence than the order OF a
party caucus.

FAIR AND BAZAAR.
Sunday School Of st. Paul's Catholic
Church Given a Benefit.

Cuufcn d1Ven Benedt.
A bazaar under the auspices Of the Sum
day school Of ST. Paurs Roman Catholic
Church, 18th and v streets northwest be-
gan last evening in the school building i'm
mediately adjoining the church edifice, with
large attendance. 1t is out of the way
Of the ordinary bazaar in the sense that It
Is given by the children and for children.
and throughout last evening the little folk
seemed to enjoy themselves to the utmost
Though the young people were prominent
in all of the affairs still the older folk
were out in force to see that the affair was
conducted properly.
Rev. Father 7. A. Walsh, assistant pas
tor of st. Paul's Church and the spiritual
director of the Sunday school, was one Of
the hardest workers present, In the effort
to make the bazaar success. He seemed
never to tire in his effort to have the chill
dren derive the most pleasure out of the
program.
Promptly at o'clock Maj. Richard Syl-
yester, superintendent OF police was IN
troduced and made short address. Dur
ing the course Of his remarks Maj. Sylves-
ter said: II feel good while watching .he
work that is going on in the Sunday schools
in the preparation of the children for the
later life"
He then went on to say that the depart
ment of police knows the great value OF
the Sunday school, stating in conclusion
that he was sure that the bazaar would be
complete success.
The spaces about the various booths were
crowded with visitors and supporters OF
the parish eager for the opportunity or
contributing to the work. In each booth
were from three to five pretty girls who
were putting forth their best labors in the
work Of advancing the good cause. There
was post office booth where one Nigh:
purchase dainty valentines and postais
with appropriate verses of the season or
good old st. Valentine. At this booth was
located also local mail box" where those
present might post missives and valentines
with a certainty that they would be deliv-
cred to those addressed.
At the lemonade and flower booth there
was another galaxy of pretty girls. and the
receipts of the booth was testimonial to
the pleasing ways of those in charge The
confectionery booth and refreshment bower
were also popular. as were the sodality
booth and the Holy Name table. The pad
die stand was well patronized.
Much Of the credit for the success of the
first evening Of the bazaar Is due to the UNI
firing work of Director Doyle. who was
second to Father Walsh as the master OF
ceremonies.

Sodality-Miss 4..ae Alice In charge; as

WOULD ACCEPT REPORT
SAYS TAFT WAS
vHRY ANGRY WITH HIN.

John F. Wallace. former chief engineer OF
the isthmian canal was again before the
Senate committee on fnteroceanio canals to-
day. Yesterday he was diverted from
description of conditions on the tsthmus,
which he made today. He gave minute
account of the conditions he found there
and the difficulties he encountered in get
ting material and supplies and the delays
that occurred In filing acquisitions
While he was cabling to have the orders
expedited. he said. he received word from
Admiral Walker that cablegrams cost
money. It was delicate hint, he SAID.
that he had better not use the cables 80
much.
1.-THE work did," said Mr.. Wallace. "ex-
tended over a complete year, taking in dry
and wet seasons. I Was working along

French excavators 80 az. to tell whether IL
would be the more economical to use OF ue-
stroy these machines, which cost probably
$50, OO0, OOO I experimental far enough to
know that these machines were not Mt TOT
use'
Telling of these experiments Mr.. Wal
lace said he had not estimated that because
excavating could be done in March for 10
cents a cubic yard It could be done for the
same cost in the rainy season In May II
was important to determine whether the
higher cost OF excavattng was due to the
heavy rainfall, the reduction of time to an
eight-hour day, or the use of the French
excavators, said Mr.. Wallace.
Continuing. he said that he understood
that the cost had gone UP great deal after
he left. The organization was demoralized,
he said, for the reason that the men had
seen their chief discredited and knew that
a successor was to be appointed who would
not be in sympathy with the work that had
been done.
It was brought out that Mr.. Wallace's
successors had not the benefit Of his analy-
sis of the years work and his recommends
lions.
''Why did they not have it?" asked Mr..
Taliaferro
Because the Secretary of War told me
he did not want it and had no use for me
except on the isthmus as directing engi-
neer." said Mr.. Wallace.
do you mean he was angry?" asked
Senator Morgan.
Eyes. sir; SO angry that in his treatment
he all but cursed me-" replied Mr.. Wallace.
At this point recess was taken until
2:30 pm.

POSITIONS DISCLOSED

FRANCE AT CONFERENCE.

ALGECIRAS, Spain. February 8.-The
discussions going on between the German
and French delegates to the Moroccan con-
ference begin to disclose their respective
positions and how far each size n willing
to yield on the main Franco-German con-
troversy. When France indicated desire
to control Morocco's police Germany OBJ
jected on the grounds that 1t would permit
France to obtain complete political mastery
of the country.
France has now sought to meet this OBJ
lection by suggesting certain guarantees
limiting the scope Of police in such way
as to guard against their use as an instru-
ment for France laying hands on the Nor
ocean empire. There is reason to believe
that the foreign capitals have been advised
OF these guarantees and that some coun-
tries. but not all, have responded favorabiy.
Germany Rssists French Control.
However. Germany doubts tho sincerity
OF any guarantees and continues TO resist
French control OF the police as contrary to
the spirit Of the open door. the German
conception of the open dor helng snat 4

should be a safeguard against exclusive pos
Htfcal as well as commercial advantages.
However. Germany has not fatty refused
to agree TO French control OF the police. AZ
France has avoided making the PROPOSE.

Each country. therefore. continues 20

the telegraph wires between the capitals
are busy. the Indicators being that tho
German delegates think the time 10 near
when they should present some definite
counter project against the French proJect

The Moors have taken a hand In trying 70

ten articles. giving the sultan control or
the police, thus entirely eliminating foreign

The French treat the project as preposter-

The Germans would doubtless accept the
Moors' project In order to get France our
of Morocco. The French rather suspect TINT
the Germans are behind the Moors' project.
