following:

After reading the message, Mr..

Showing Discomfort With
Work of Conference.
Draft Of Taxation Project Adopt
ed Just as Drawn.


Algeciras. Feb. 1.-The Moroccan
conference at its session adopted With
out modification the draft Of the taxa
ton project. The Moorish delegates
raised a number OF objects and Will
refer the proposals to the Sultan at
Fee.
The question Of reforming the GUS
toms duties was not considered.
The American delegates took an &C
tive part in the discussion before the
against any indirect infringement OF
the Sulta1's sovereignty.
The committee on taxation reported
a long plan, one feature OF whlcn gave
the foreign eonsuls the right TO retain
a certain percentage of the taxes on
foreigners to cover the expenses OF
collection. Ambassador White, head
of the American delegation, remarked
that such retention of portion OF
revenues designed for the Sultan might
be construed as an infringement OF his
sovereignty. The ambassador sug-
gested a modification, so that the re-
tention of a portion of the tax by the
consuls should not be permanent
feature of the system.
M. Revolt for France and Count
Cassini for Russia supported the Am
erican view and the approval became
general with the exception of Spain.
The Spanish delegates manifested
strong dissent. Senior Perez Caballero
spoke against the American sugges-
ton, emphasizing that Spain would
suffer the chief part Of the loss. as
Spain had the largest number of for
eigners under taxation.
Sir Arthur Nieolson. the head of tie
British mission. finally suggested that
since Spain objected it might not be
desirable to press the proposed modi-
fication. Mr.. White assentcd saying
that he considered unanimity essential
and therefore he withdrew the pro-
posed modification.
The conference thereupon adopted the
committees report giving a general
plan for taxes largely under the con-
trail of the diplomatic and consular
body at Tangier and adjourned until
Saturday.
The Moorish delegates are showing
signs OF discomfort. They came expect
ing to take leading Part in the plan
for the administration Of their country.

for little and they are only passive lis
tencrs TO the plans formulated by the
powers. This was noticeable In the dis
cussion OF the internal tax SYSTEM. Ia
which they withheld their assent. while
the delegates of the other powers unan-
imcusly assented.
The feature of the tax system. by
which the foreign ministers and con-
suls retain considerable control, Is
construed as Indicating the tendency
Of the conference toward the establish
ment Of International authority which
Is one Of the main Franco-German is
sues.
The participation of the American
delegates In today's debate was useful
In the strengthening Of the friendly
ties between them and the other dele
gates. The French ENJOYS particularly
approve Ambassador Whites course.
The Duke OF Almodovar. Spanish min
lister Of foreign affairs. has also taken
occasion to thank Mr.. White for con-
siderately yielding to Spain's objec-
tons to his proposed modification of
the tax system.
