Discuss Bank Project Wednesday.

Discussion of definite police proposals was postponed until Thursday. while the bank project will be argued on Wednes- day.
 The French and British delegates to the conference regard today's expressions from the Mediterranean powers as likely to exert great influence on the final vote of the neutrals relative to the policing Of Morocco.
 7 An official communication shows that Herr Non Radowitz. the first German dele gate, also joined in the discussion of the police question. and admitted that of necessity the police force must be organ ized by the Sultan, but he claimed that there should be participation by all the powers represented at the conference. The German delegates contention, therefore, is directly opposed to the Russian sug- gestiOn as Baron Bacheracht, the second Russian delegate argued that ineffieacy of collective action by the powers in Morocco had been proved by the unsuc- cessful operations of the international sanitary committee at Tangier. He point - ed out that Trench officers experience with Mussulmans and Spanish officers experience with ruffians had placed them in the best position to control the Moor ish clements which eventually must form the main body of the police by which the security of foreigners is to be as- sured and commerce facilitated.
 France Willing to Accept.
 NJ. Revolt the senior French delegate expressed Frances willingness to accept the Russian suggestion following on with the proposal that the police force shall consist of 2000 Moors distributed at eight ports, eacs having four European non commissioned officers. and the whole be- ing under the command of sixteen French and Spanish officers, selected with the Sul..ns assent and who shall become AIoorish officials.
 The Spanish delegates strongly sup port joint Spanish and French control, arguing from the point Of view that the nroximity of those countries to Morocco gave them greater interests than the other powers, whose equality of rights, however, will not be affected thereby.

Russia Makes Proposal.

Algeciras, March 5.-This afternoons sitting of the conference on Moroccan reforms was marked by an unexpected and important move on the part of Rus sian delegates. who laid before the con ference an exposition of the police ques- ton.
 The document which minutely goes over the existing situation in Morocco and analyses the position of the various pow CTS, concludes with an argument for the proposition that France and Spain are the most fit to be entrusted with the task of controlling the police force which is about to be created The British, Spanish and Portuguese delegates ex- pressed their concurrence ill the Russian views. Italy, however, though inclined to favor the scheme, reserved final ap- proval. Count von Tattenbach, the junior German delegate; Henry White, the chief of the American delegation, and the dele gates of the several neutral powers did not express their views

Swe- den Norway and Denmark shall be en- trusted the organization and drill of the entire police force. The police would be under the supervision of the diplomatic corps in Tangier,1 and an officer of high rank should be appointed, whose duty would be to watch the department of the new fopce and report upon its efficiency to the diplomatic corps. The acceptance of this proposal would give to the police q distinctly international character and make it impossible for any power to exer- else special advantages. Moreover, organ ization of such a force would guarantee the independence of the sultan.
 Would Affect International Guaranty.
 France, on the other hand, declares that she does not object to the organ ization of the police by the sultan in the port towns of Morocco, nor is the cost of the force being paid out of the Bank of Morocco. She insists, however, that tine foreign officers of the force shall be chosen from the armies of France and Spain The adoption of this proposition Is opposed by Germany on the grounds that SQcil d Stltlilt Noulu1 Slilp tiC pOlitC system of it's international guaranty which is the guaranty alike to the sign atory powers and to the sultan of the maintenance of the open door and of the sultans independence If the sultan was forced to select the officers of the police from France and Spain, he would soon become dependent upon these two countries. Germany is convinced that the officers so chosen would regard as their mission from the national rather than the interna tional standpoint. In short, the plan would be tantamount to q double mandate to the exclusion of the other powers interested.
 Give France Control of Bank.
 'Germany's proposals with regard to the organization of the bank follow the lines of those suggested for the police in that they have for their object the preservation of the representatives of the powers. The adoption of the French plan regarding this plan, would, in Germany's s opinion, turn the bank into French in- stitution. In brief, the acceptance of the French proposal with regard to the Bank of Morocco and the police system. 1t Is Gcrmany's firm belief would give to France tho control of Morocco in all sronamic. financial and military matters.

A DESERVED TRIBUTE.

We, who enjoy the blessings of sight

eyes would mean, can not fully appreciate
the significance of the action of the Or

association taken a few days ago, but it
Is easy to realize the satisfaction it must
have carried to the blind pastor. who has
80 long been wholly cut off from the
beauties we see about us except as he
could picture them in his imagination.
That association adopted a resolution rec
ommending to the Vermont Senate. when
that body shall meet. the choice of the
Rev NJ. Winslow Farman to serve an
other term in the position of chaplain,
which he filled with marked ability and
much acceptance" in 1902 and 1904.
The considerations which have prevail
ed in connection with the selection of a
chaplain ordinarily hardly apply to the
case Of the Rev. Mr. Farman. and it is
10 be presumed that precedents will have
no more weight in connection with his re-
election than there would be danget of
president growing out of his reten-
ton as chaplain of the Senate. The late
REV. William II. Milburn was repeat ID

EVERY VOTER SHOULD REGISTER,

The FREE PRESS has referred to the
various provisions OF the law passed at
the last session of the Legislature in re-
lation to the use of check lists in con-
nection with caucuses. The executive com
mttee OF the State republican committee,
realizing the Importance of having re-
publican voters fully informed in rela-
ton to the terms of this act and the
possibilities growing out OF its opera
ton, held n meeting in this city Tues
day as stated in our news columns: and
voted to issue letter to every member
of every republican town committee in the
State, calling attention to the provisions
OF the act in question.
The particular section Of the law in
question provides that in "caucuses to
elect delegates to conventions to nominate
State and county officers and rcpresen-
tatives in Congress, and to nominate
town representatives, the voting shall be
by ballot and check list, if request,
therefor, in writing, signed by persons
equal in number to per cent. of the vote
cast for governor in that town or city
at the last preceding biennial election. he
filed in the town or city clerks office
on or before the 18th day Of May in
each biennial year"
The importance OF observing the terms
of this law becomes evident when one
considers its possibilities. For example in
the last State election the total vote for
$50. II at any time on or before the
fifteenth day of next May 5 per cent. of
that number or thirteen voters OF tllat
town in order to be sure Of TIE per cont ,
should file with the town clerk signed
petition calling for the use of "a check
list in the republican caucus it would
be impossible for any republican to vote
in such caucus who had not filed with
his inventory for the assessors in April
the Republican party this year.
The object Of this law was to prevent
democrats, for example, from voting in
in republican caucuses and vice versa, but
unless voters generally file their nten-
tons it will be entirely possible for a
comparatively few schemers in Shclhurne,
for example to keep host Of republ-
cans from voting in the republican eau
Gus inasmuch as the petition can be
brought after voters have failed to regis
ter.
Registration laws in all States make
it necessary for voters to attend to the
matter of seeing that their names are
on the voting list of their party, and now
that we have a registration law repub-
licans throughout Vermont should see "a
it that they file their party intentions
when they make out their list for the
assessors. 1t follows as matter of course
that democrats have a similar interest in
seeing that they are not prevented from
voting in democratic caucuses.
In short all voters should register this
spring when they visit the assessors tc
make out their lists for taxation.
