to forget the outrage and to prepars to

The belief that French priest mur-
dered the magistrate Is universal, and
probably no other incident ever excited
such widespread resentment against
the missionaries.
In many places the Catholic converts
and the other Chinese are living on the
basis of armed neutrality, and but for

United states Advice and Attitude
Helpful in Latter Stages OF
Conference.

Berlin, April i.-Chancellor Won Bue-
low. at the request OF the Associated
Press, today gave the following estl-
mate OF the results OF the Algeciras
conference:
"The principle of equal privileges for
all countries IN Morocco has been as
serted and maintained. That was the
contention of Germany from the begin
ming, the one thing that German dipio-
macy strove for. We placed 1t beyond
our power to ask for anything for Ger
many that we did not ask for all coun-
tries.
80 powerful was this simple state
ment OF the principle Of equal rights
that France. Great Britain and all the
countries admitted IL at the opening Of
the conference as regards the open door
for trade; but the question arose. How
was the door to be held opan2 What
guarantee could be given that no one
should afterward step into the open
door and block the way Two guaran-
tees only appeared adequate TO the
German government, namely, interna-
tional control Of the Bank OF Morocco
and international supervision OF the po-
lice. These guarantees have been ac-
cepted by France and all the other par
tiCipatlng countries"
Prince Won Buelow continued.
While Germany has obtained those
things which she sought Ftince has
obtained, first, recognition OF her special
position as neighbor of the sultan by
international recognition of her right TO
maintain order adjacent to the Algerian
frontier, right which Germany never
contested second, by a larger share
In the state bank. and third, by having
intrusted 10 her the instruction Of the
police, in company with Spain and un-
der international supervision.
throughout this long controversy
the European powers have been aware
that President Roosevelt was ready TO
assist In any proper manner IN the eff
fort for an agreement. The American
governments advice and attitude We're
helpful, especially during the latter
stages OF the conference. Mr.. White
