Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.-Marufac-

Figures just supplied by the department of commerce and labor, through its bureau of statistics, show that the value of manufactures mater ials imported in the eleven months end ing with November, was 513 million dollars, and of manufacturers export ed, 520 million dollars, speaking in round terms. This by far exceeds in both imports of material and exports of manufactures the figures of any ear Her year and suggests that the total for the full calendar year 1905 will be ap-

the general Dominican question. It is MT. Tillman's intention to press his resolution and unless it is accepted by the senate, he probably will talk on it if not tomorrow, then on some other day during the week. With the sub ject once opened up, considerable de- bate may be expected Tor republican senators are prepared to defend the at titude of the president in the Domini. can matter. It is not expected that the treaty with Morales will be presented for some time, but republican senators say they have no intention of letting it go by default. The president, it is pointed out, is anxious for action and prefers rejection to failure to act. His friends in the senate cite the co.,. SC of events in the present resolutions; the financial affairs of the country are less disturbed than in previous uprisings, thus sustaining the presidents atti- tude towards the little republic. Or the other hand, the revolution has had a tendency to solidify the democratic senators against the agreement and iI they hold together they may be able to defeat ratification.
 Senator Gallinger, chairman of the merchant marine commission has given notice of his intention to call up the commissions shipping bill tomorrow, and if he does so that measure being unfinished business, will supplant the Dominican question. If through cour- tesy, however, he should give way to senators to discuss other questions he will bring up the shipping bill later. When the commissions bill is taken up MT.

WAR CLOUD
 DISSENTING
A Much Easier Feeling in
 France
Evidence That Her Position Against Germany Will be Supported in the Moroccan Conference.

Paris, Jan. Public uneasiness over the Moroccan conference has un- dergone a distinct improvement This is due mainly to the confident attitude of the officials of the foreign office who consider the selection by the Italian government of Marquis Visconti Ven osta to head its delegation as strength ening the position of France. It is evi- dent that the officials hold the view that if France can secure the support of the great powers having tangible interests in the Mediterranean and Morocco, it will be difficult for Ger many to stand against the force of this moral influence. Therefore ltaly's choice of Marquis Visconti Venos.a. who was one of the earliest advocates of FrancO-1talian entente strength ems the governments expectation of the united support of the leading Medi- terranean powers.
 The martial tone Of the press has considerably diminished and the sen sational branch of it no longer prints alarmist reports of frontier prepara- tions! Nevertheless the public and press continue, though with greater calmness, to urge the imperative need of completing military preparations
 Now that the French delegates are preparing to start for Algeciras there is evidence of greatest firmness in up- holding the French position. the es- sential feature of which is that France through her geographical proximity to Morocco. which is analogous to that Of the position of the United States to- ward Cuba and through her vast AL gerian borders. is justly entitled to have a privileged position in Morocco. Germany. while yielding much. has never clearly yielded the claim of France to a special position in MorOc- co. If the French position is upheld. the conference, it is expected will charge France with police. customs and other duties. Against this. Germany will seek international control of po- | lice, customs and other matters. thus giving all nations. including Germany the same status in Morocco as that Of France.
 The French delegates will start without slightest thought of yielding or of compromising the essential prin- cipies of Frances position and there lies the danger of the Franco German outlook.
 The Berlin correspondent of the Temps, says that Germany following the action of the United States and Great Britain is sending a sqaudrea ts Algerciras. The paper says that France thus far has not ordered q squadron to the nefghbOrheod ef eaH= ference. It adds that the British squadrons. comprising the channel home and cruiser squadrens will reB- dezvous in Cadiz bay near Algerciras in the middle of February.

THE SCALE COMMITTEE
Are Ready for Today's Conference
Demands Still a Secret.

New York, Feb. 14.-The special scale
committee of the Union Anthracite
Mine Workers which has been entrust-
ed the duty Of presenting to the Cper-
ators the demands of the men, has
completed its work and everything is
now practically in readiness for Thurs
days conference. The work of the sub
committee which is made up of the
three district presidents and secrera-
ries, has been ratified in all its de-
tails and the district officers were
Wednesday putting the finishing
touches on the communication to be
handed to the employers. Pres. Mitch
ell said that the full membership of the
special committee, including the min
crs' chief, numbers sc men, would be
taken into the conference.
The same secrecy which surrounded
tnc work Of the scale committee at
Wllkcsbarre and in this city still OBJ
t&lns, not the slightest intimation of
the exact nature of the demands to b c
made having leaked out. Not one of
the committeeman will discuss the an
thracite situation. referring all inquir-
les to Mr.. Mitchell. The miners leader
has no desire to keep from the public
the grievances of the mine workers,
but he feels that if they were made
known at this time public discussion
OF the merits of the miners case would
probably ensue which might have a
tendency to upset well-laid plans.
Pres. Mitchell devoted much of
Wednesday to business connected with
the bituminous situation. All questions
pertaining to the soft coal region are
being forwarded to him here. Asked
whether he had anything to say in re-
ply to statements made by Western
coal operators. Mr.. Mitchell said he
preferred not to discuss conditions in
the bituminOus fields at this time. It
has been learned from an authoritative
source, however, that the resolution
adopted by the miners to the effect
that no district should sign an agree
ment until grievances in all districts
have been adjusted will not be per-
mtted to stand in the way of the
agreement. If the occasion arises it
can easily be rescindcd.
Mr.. Mitchell went to st. Francis hos
rital. Jersey City. to see Edward Nc
Eay Of Pittsburg. q national Organiz-
er in the Miners Union. Mr.. Mckay
was taken i'll on 4 train while on the
way here to see his chief. He was re-
ported much better Wednesday. Mr..
Mitchell's chief object in calling on the
PittSOurG man was to get the exact
situation in the western PENNSYLVANIA
territory.
