POWERS ARE
 WITH FRANCE Ves at Algeciras Pleases Paris. 
GERMANA IN THE MINORITY
However, Action is Only as to the
 Procedure.
If Kaiser Does Not Make Concessions as to Policing Morocco, France
 wm Not yieia as to Bank.

Paris. March 4.--The voting at AL geciras Saturday on the proposition of Arthur Nicoison, chief of the Brit ish delegation, to proceed to the im- mediate discussion of the Moroccan police question, gives great satisfac- ton here. chiefly because France has ranged with her large majority of the powers. while Germany is among the small minority.
 Public tension was such over the Franeo-German controversy that the vote was welcomed beth as a success and as showing that France was able to count upon the almost unbroSen support of Europe. French officials have claimed for some. time that If a vote were possible, 1t would give France a sweeping majority. It ap- pears that yesterdays division did not produce recorded vote, yet the pow CTS aligned themselves with sufficient precision to amount to a vote.
 All the French journals give In the form of vote. eight voting in the affirmative, France, Great Britain, Rus sia, Spain. Portugal. the United States Italy and Holland and the negative three being Germany. Austria and Mo- rocco. The officials had even consid- cred Austria as doubtful and had Aus tria baiIoted in the affirmative the entire vote of Europe and America would, have been ranged on the side Of France. st
 The semi official Temps seems to ac- cept the decision of the conference as vote in favor of Frances proposals. saying: question of procedure, is valuable to us from more than one view point. Not only have Great Pritian. spains Rus hered to our ideas which was fore seen, but Italy, Belgium. Portugal and Holland unhesitatingly recorded their loyalty to our proposition"
 The Tempsta correspondent at All geeiras. however points out that the vote refers merely to procedure. sigHl- lnttain d result Al the game time the character and Import of the action of the delegates with reference to pro- ceedure should not be .minimlzed."
 The result also affects the diplomatic status of the controversy. Germany wants to settle the bank question be- fore that of the police, but France does not wish to grant concessions on the bank until she is sure that Germany will make a reciprocal move concern ing thee police.
 | Therefore,r the decision of the confer
 ence to consider the police question requires that Germany shall say whether she Is or Is not prepared to change her attitude relative to the po- | lice.
 Germany's answer will thus deter mine whether France will yield on the | bank question. The indications are that if Germany
 refuses. to give way on the police,
 France will not yield on the bank. | thus accentuating the former dead
 lock by carrying 1t into the open con | ference.

Civil and Religious Marriages.

To-day marriage is a civil contract
in Catholic as well as Protestant
countries. The United States and
France, since the revolution, freely
recognize this fact. Marriage is
legally binding, If performed accord
ing to the laws of the land, without
any Intervention of the church. This
result was inevitablet because of the
personal and property rights involved
which belonged properly to the juri-
diction Of the state. The church,
both Catholic and Protestant, retains
however, it's ancient privileges of
ceremonial over it's members. and
this accords with popular prejudice,
which likes to regard marriage as
sacrament, and which sees the ad-
vantage of giving the ceremony the
greatest possible publicity and solemn
