Diplomatic Struggle Between France
and Germany Is imminent-hmeri-
can Delegates Welcomed.
Algeciras. Jan. 1.-the c2rr!cC o!
the international conference On Mo-
roccan reforms has definitely been fixed
for 3 o'clock this afternoon The Duke
Of Almodoyar. tho Spanish minister OF
foreign affairs, took the initiative soon
after arriving here in arranging plans
for the beginning OF the deliberations.
II Is expected that the duke will pre-
side and will make a brief address Of
welcome. after which doubtless he will
be chosen as the permanent presiding
officer.
Interesting features were the landing
OF Ambassador White, the American
delegate from the American protected
cruiser Galveston. and later the arrival
OF Samuel r. Gummere, minister to
Morocco. the second American dele
gate. from Tangier on the French
cruiser Galilee. The Galveston fired
n salute OF q guns as she dropped an
Choir of the pier The Spanish cruisers
did not respond promptly. but the land
batteries roared an answering salute.
The ambassador entered one Of the
Galveston's launches and the latter
took a course circling the Spanish
cruiser Rio De la Plata. the sailors OF
which manned the yards and gave
hearty cheers 20 the American dele
gate. II Is n singular fact that the Rio
dc la Plata was presented to Spain by
South American countries after the
destruction Of the Spanish feet in the
war with the United States. The Amer
lean launch then clrclcd the Spanish
cruiser Marina de la Molina, the sailors
OF which also checred Mr. White and
his companions.
On landing Ambassador White was
greeted by the governor general and
the alcalde. who escorted him to his
hotel.
Mr. Gummere was similarly saluted
when he arrived on board the Galilee
He was accompanied by a Portuguese
and a Belgian delegate and by Louis
Einsiein. third secretary OF the Ameri-
can embassy at London. who will act
as secretary TO the American delega-
ton.
As the delegates assemble there IS
no outward evidence OF tension. but on
the contrary. there Is a notable ex-
change Of amenities between the Ger
man and French delegations. There is.
however an undercurrent OF sentiment
that a supreme diplomatic struggle IS
imminent. with France and Germany
occupying the centre and the other
powers ranged in varying degrees
around them
The French count upon Great Bri-
tain. Spain. Italy and Russia as sure,
and consider that the ties between the
United States and France and Great
Britain warrant them in expecting the
support OF the American delegates.
On the other hand. the prevailing sem
timent Is that Germany can count on
Austria, Holland and Sweden. and per-
haps on Denmark. with Germany also
expecting that the United States will
snnnnrf snmn OF her contentious.

Boston. Jan. 16.-Football has been
abolished at Harvard, pending re-
form in the game that will be &C
ceptabe to the board Of overseers &C
cording to an official announcement
from the university The discontinue
ance Of the game is a result OF q vote
taken last week at a secret meeting
Of the board of oyerseers. when 1t was
decided that intercollegiate football
Mt Harvard would not be permitted
until the rules and regulations had
been so changed and amended as to
remove what the overseers regard as
the evils of the present game. The
overseers accepted unanimously the
opinions of a special committee that
the game as at present played Is es-
sentally bad in every respect, that
the method of formation encourages
trickery and foul play and that the
result is bad for the morals OF the
players as we'll as for the body.

Attorney General Rogers of Arkansas

that state by giving his opinion that the
poll tax amendment to the constitution
had never been legally adopted. This
amendment provided that every voter

papers on the ground Of their inaccurate
and partisan reports of public occur

Justice Blanchard granted an ORDER
prohibiting District Attorney Jerome
from taking further testimony in tie

testimony offered by witnesses. Not
withstanding that the accused man had
summarily dismissed as counsel the

Offer of Telephone Trust.
The New York and the New 4orh

have definitely refused to surrender
their franchises to the New York city

A New York Brewery Combine.
The Brewers Bond and Security
company, which was organized some
time ago to take over independent

Census Of the Detectives.
A special report on the blind and
deaf just issued by the bureau OF cen
sus shows that there were in the
United States in 1900 64,763 blind
persons. Of these 57.2 per cent were
males. The most important causes of
blindness were cataract, accidents and
operations, old age and sore eyes. AL
most 65 per cent of the blind became
so after the age of twenty-one, thus
proving the contention of the new as
sociations that the blind need other
help than that which is offered in the
ordinary Institutions OF the blind of
ten years or older 20 per cent were en-
gagged in gainful occupations as COM
pared with SO per cent Of the general
population.
The total number of deaf in 1900
was 39,287, or / in $50 Of the popula-
ton. Of these 37,426 were totally
deaf. Upon the whole, deafness is
more common in the northern than the
southern part of this country. Of the
deaf 24,369 could not speak at all and
55,501 could speak we'll, the latter hav-
ing lost their hearing in adult life in
most cases. OF those Of at least ten
years of age 1876 per cent were gain
fully employed as compared with %
per cent Of the general population.
Gorky's Opinion of America.
In an article for Appletons' Book
lovers Magazine for August Maxim
Gorky, the Russian revolutionist and
author, speaks out plainly what his i'm
preston of this country during his
brief visit has been. Upon his arrival
in New York, he says, he noticed on
the dark bronze statue Of the Goddess
Of Liberty green rust had accumulated,
but he says he did not then know that
the passionate idealism of the young
democracy had also become covered
with rust, "eating away the soul with
the corrosive of commercialism." He
did not realize that the disease of
money craving had assumed such pro-
portions in America. He says he loves
energy, but not when men expend 1t
for their own destruction. Everywhere
he sees a senseless treadmill Of labor,
but nowhere do we feel the beauty of
free creation. Nowhere, as in New
York, have people seemed to him so
unfortunate and so thoroughly en-
shaved to life, nowhere 80 tragi-com-

was generally understood that this

found impossible to get men of suf-
cient prominence to run as trustees
representing the existing administra-
ton. At the same time 1t was made
known that President Peabody would
not be candidate for reelection. Mr.

To Reduce British Army.
Plans for the reorganization Of the

Germany Bars Our Meat.
The German government, apparently
not greatly impressed by the new Amer
lean inspection law, has decided to en-
force new and more stringent inspec-
ton law against American meat prod
ucts after Sept. IL. Cuts Of fresh beef
will have to be examined microscopical-
ly to see if the glands bear tuberculo-
sis symptoms. Inasmuch as American
refrigerator meat has the glands re-
moved the effect will be virtually to
exclude American products. The ship
ment of canned meats to South Africa
will also be stopped.
Trade Treaty With Spain.
It was announced at Madrid that
commercial treaty between Spain and

important reduction on imported Span
ish wines, pictures, etc., In return for
concessions on certain American goods.
Russian Peasants Beyond Control.
The uprising of peasants which be-
gan in the province Of VoroneZh had
overspread large part of central Rus
STA by the first Of the week and was
beyond the control of available troops
Great masses of the peasantry marched
in column through the country. burning
and looting the estates and driving out
the landed proprietors. For fear of be-
ing surrounded the troops retreated.
In the province of Tula hordes of peas
ants camped along the railroads and
prevented the passage of all trains.
Aany factories were closed owing to
the refusal of men to work, and the
ordering of general strike was antici-
pated. In their blind fury the peasants
appeared not to discriminate between
the property of friends and enemies.
Among the estates devastated was that
OF NJ. Kokoshkine, prominent Consti-
tutional Democrat in the douma. The
city Of Syrian was burned by incen-
diaries, and 10000 people had to fee
homeless. Other towns were burning.
The adoption by the douma of an adj
dress to the country was expected to
precip1tate civil war inasmuch that it
was known that the car at last had
decided to rely on physical force and
the army rather than make the conces-
slons demanded by the parliament. His
