ALGEcIRAS CONF RENcE
An Almost InsurmOumtable Barrier
Exists French and
German Ideas.

Algeciras, Jan. 25.-The confidential
exchanges now going on among the
representatives of the powers in the
Moroccan conference, disclose the ex-
IRENE difficulty Of arranging an agree
ment that both France and Germany
would accept.
The German delegates put forward
the attractive principle of disinterest-
edness and equal privileges for all coun-
tries. The French delegates, on the
other hand, maintain that France car
not be disinterested. They affirm that,
having followed an active policy in
Morocco for eight years, and having
obtained numerous advantages. France
should not now be asked to take the
same position as all the rest Of the
world.
France virtually enunciates in a mod
flied form the principle of the Monroe
doctrine in northwest Africa. She has
acquired and holds a position toward
Morocco that, according to her view,
makes equal political influence with
other powers impossible. On the ques-
ton of economic equality she says
yes" but on that of political equality

m. Thursday the people of this city
were thrown into a panic by a terrific
shock of earthquake that threw down
chimneys, cracked walls of buildings
and shook the p%lastering from ceilings.
Many persons in the city expert
enced a feeling of s~easickness, SO
great was the rocking motion of the
earth.
Advices from neighboring towns in
dictate that Flagstaff was near the
center of disturbance. The vibrations
continued for about thirty seconds.
A second shock was felt at 6:36 p.
m. and a third at 1882 p. m, but these
were much lighter than the first.
The shocks were left as far south as

FROM EXPOSURE
AND EXHAUSTION
NINE VALENCIA SURVIVORS IN
DEPENDABLE STATE.
THEY ARE UNABLE TO STAND
Are Al the Telegraph Hut At Dar-
ling River, Where They Must
Remain Until SuccOr Reaches
Them.

. Victoria, B. c., Jan. 26.-The nine
survivors of the Valencia, who are at
Darling River, telegraph hut, are re-
ported at Baumield to be in a deplora-
BILE condition, so overcome by expos
ure and exhaustion that they are un-
able to stand, much less to make their
way along the trail to the nearest
place of shelter. One has a sprafned
ankle, the others are without boots
and exhausted, several with their feet
raw and bleeding from walking to
Darling River over the rocks.
Messrs. Logan and Daykin, the for
mer a lineman and the latter a son OF
the lightkeeper at Carmanah, report
having reached the scene of the wreck
from Cloo-Ose, and say they have
found the bodies of a woman and a
child, neither identified.
Saw Three Men On shore.
Victoria, B. c., Jan. 26.-The whal-
ing steamer Orion arrived at Bamfield
creek station from the scene Of the

three men on shore, where they had a
fire lighted, about a mile and a half
west of the wreck, and it was thought
these men were survivors as yet un-
accounted for. The Valencia lay SUBJ
merged, with only a portion of a mast
sticking out of the water.

A free population, ambitious to get
the benefit of it's own labor and enter
prise, is the making of any country.
With freedom will come more general
education and a great upraise in Mex
lean life will result. By way Of cons
trast, remarks the San Francisco Call,
Mexico and Sweden and Norway offer
an interesting study. Mexico, with
peonage and restricted education, has
a wonderful and rich variety of nat
ural resources. Sweden and Norway,
with a cold and rather sterile country,
have individual freedom, and are the
only countries in the world in which
every grown mar can read and write.
Therefore the Scandinavians have pros
perity, good homes and a general and
splendid civilization, while Mexico,
with friendly climate and great nat
ural resources, lags behind. But the
signs Of advancement are many and
encouraging, and there is every a
for taking a cheerful view of the future
of our sister republic.

CUTTER STILL At LARGE
St. Louis Working Girls Afraid to
Venture Out After Dusk With
out Male Escorts.

st. Louis, Jan. 25.-The young man
who ran amuck through the streets
Monday evening, stabbing women and
girls on their way home from work, is
still at large and the police are nom
pinssed, not having a tangible clew to
hang on. The latest reports show that
at least Is were cut, only two or three,
however, very seriously, but it is sur
missed that there may have been others,
who failed to make report in order to
avoid notoriety.
Women and girls employed down
town, whose duties keep them en-
gagged until after dark, are in a state Of
terror, and hundreds remain at their
places of business until father, husband,
brother or someone else's brother ap-
pears to escort them home.
The mystery surrounding the attacks.
the apparent lack of reason for tho
Standings, the fact that the youth who
has created such a panic cid his work
without method or cause, attacking all
girls and women who crossed his path,
adds to the feeling of terror.
There will be a feeling OF anxiety
for women and girls until the man is
captured and put safely behind bars,
either as a criminal or as a %lunatic.

Japanese in x

Mr.. Akioki, a Japanese of distinction,
is in this country seeking information
as to the climate and our of Tex
as, where it is proposed to found a col
ony of his countrymen. He will short
ly bring over 800 families, who will
settle on a solid tract of 10000 acres in
Bee county. They will undertake tea
farming and silk culture. The null
berry tree grows everywhere in the
region to a great size. San Antonio
is the nearest town to the proposed
colony and the expectation is that the
newcomers will make good citizens
and intermarry and coalesce with their
Texas neighbors. Mr.. Akioki says that
If the first colony is a success he will
buy another tract on which he has an
option, and in this there are 100, 900
acres, enough to make homes for 5000
families. There is a small colony of
Japanese now in Bee county. They
have devoted themselves to raising tea
and this year sold their products with
q good profit.

The announcement that the Pennsyl-
yania Railway company is preparing
to do away with steam engines and to
use electric motors exclusively
throughout it's extensive system, pre-
sages the end of the G of steam and
the coming triumph of electricity.
The statement may seem startling at
first, but as a matter of fact the
railroads have been experimenting
with electric engines for some time,
and their eventual use was a fore
gone conclusion. Not only in the
matter of speed but in every other
respect electricity has the advantage
over steam as a motive power.

n-Developer

The struggle to get away from pow
erty has been a great man developer.
Had every human being been born
with a silver spoon in his mouth-had
there been no necessity put upon him
to work-the race would still be In its
infancy. Had everybody in this coun-
try been porn wealthy, ours would be
one of the dark ages, says Owen SWEET
Marsden, in Success Magazine. The
vast III of our land would still
be ~undeveloped, the gold would still
be in the mines, and our great cities
would still be in the forest and the
quarry. Civilization owes more to the
perpetual struggle of mar to get away
from poverty than to anything else.
1t is not poverty itself, but the III
to get away from it, that makes the
man. We are SO constituted thai we
make IL greatest efforts and do our
best work while struggling to attain
that which the heart longs for. 1t is
practically impossible for most people
to make their utmost exertions with
out imperative necessity for it. 1t is
the constant necessity to improve MS
condition that has urged man onward
and developed the stamina and sterling
character of the whole race. A youth
born and bred in the midst OF luxury,
who has always leaned upon others,
who has never been obliged to light ms
way UP to his own loaf, and who has
been coddled from his infancy, rarely
develops great stamina or staying pow
er. He is like the weak sapling in the
forest compared with the giant oak
which has fought every inch of its way
up from the acorn by struggling with
storms and tempests. Power is the re-
suit of force overcome. The giant is
made strong in wrestling with drift
culties. 1t is impossible for one who
does not have to struggle and to night
obstacles to develop fiber or stamina.
ITO live without trial is to die u
half a man" Strength of character is
a thing which must be wrung out OF
obstacles overcome.
