mands of Reichstao.

ignored the request This week an
other debate occurred in which the
fact developed that many conserva-

rum. The debate brought out some
sharp criticisms of the emperor, who
was described as being the only man
In Germany standing out against the
wishes of the reichstag. Another
spoe .er quoted remark attributed TO
the emperor, Indignantly exclaiming;

1t is understood that the govern

visible irritation manifested by the
reichstag toward the government for
ignoring it's various notes in favor OF

Washington, Jan. 29.-The isthmian
canal commission met during the day
and concluded it's consideration of the
report of the board of consulting engi-
neers with respect to the type of canal

of the majority and minority of the
consulting board. At the days meet
Ing the commission adopted a report
to the secretary of war which they
will forward to him. While no official
announcement is made with reference
to the commissions report there is
good reason to believe that they have
summarized the two reports and have
recommended the construction OF a
lock canal with an S5-foot 3avel, prac-
tically following the recommendations
of the minority of the consulting engl.
neers. The report of the committee
and the two reports of the consulting
engineers will be transmitted to the
president by Secretary Taft with such
suggestions as he may desire to make.

erto made at Algeciras the belief is

even predict that the conference will

that a satisfactory solution of the
difficulties will ultimately be reached
and the Moroccan question begins to

formed political quarters point out
that the hardest questions for the con-
ference to decide have not yet been
.ouched on and that when these come
up a much slower pace is certain,
while a deadlock for a considerable
ume is not impossible.
