RAY OF HOPE FELT FOR MOROCCAN CONFERENCE GREAT BRITAIN CHEERED BY REPORT FROM GERMAN
 CAPITAL.

Also by the News That Russia is Using
 Her Influence at Berlin to Prevent a
 Rupture-Germany Expresses WILL
 ingness to Make Some Concessions if
 France VIII Yield Something--Diffi-
 cult to See How Latter Car Give
 Way Further.
 London, Feb. 27.-The report from Berlin that Germany has expressed her Willingness to make concessions on the Moroccan situation if France will yield something, and the announcement from St. Petersburg that Russia is using her influence at Berlin to prevent rup- ture between Germany and France at Algeciras gave Great Britain ray of hope that the conference might still succeed in settling the questions of the police and state bank of Morocco. These hopes, however are not strong.
 It must be remembered" said an official to-day, that France made con- cesslons before the conference met and has continued to do since. Now Ger many, which heretofore had refused to withdraw single step, says she is pre- pared to give way on some points if France yields something. It is difficult to see what France further can con- cede. To give an unfriendly power con- trol of the state bank would be pre- judicial to the Frenchmen who have been financing Morocco for years, while any relaxation of Frances efforts to tranquilize the sultans empire by handing over the police to the powers would cause endless troubles in her North African colony. Even the sug- gestion that she give Italy hand with herself and Spain in offlcerlng the gend- armerie seems unreasonable. France should control the finances and police of Morocco"

MOB VIOLENCE BREAKS
 OUT IN SPRINGFIELD, 0.
WHITES ENLARGED OYER SHOOT
 ING OF 4 BRAKEMAN
Thousand Men and Boys Gather and March to Negro Section of City-Bat- ter One House to Pieces With stones Another House-The Mayor Asks for Militia.

Springfield, Ohio, Feb, 27.-At g o'clock tonight mob violence broke out here as the result of a shooting in the railroad yards early to-day in which M. M. Davis, brakeman. was per haps fatally shot by two negroes, Preston Ladd, of Bellefoftaine and Ed ward Dean of this city. Lad was taken to the hospital this morning as the re- suit of injuries presumably in connec- ton with the shooting of Davis.
 Dean was taken to Dayton after a hurried conference of officials. A mob of 1000 men and boys formed and marched to The Jungles," locality inhabited by colored people, with the announced purpose of burning that sec- tion.
 Mayor Todd shortly after o'clock asked that Companies B and E of the Third regiment, o. N G., be called out.
 The mob soon reached 'The Jungles' and battered one house to pieces with stones and posts. A general fire alarm was sounded. The sounding of the gongs served to fill the streets with people and the feeling in the crowds was tense.
 The mob entered Kempler's saloon on East Columbia street and quickly footed | It. Kempler and his wife fled, leaving their three children asleep in a room | Ut,a IN,,tlI i,oep ,siI dled with bullets and stones and it was only by the hardest efforts of police and 1 f1remen that way was forced through teh mob and the children rescued. Aft CT the pillaging of the saloon, drunken ness was an added feature of the riot. At il o'clock members of the mob broke through a cordon of police and set fire to house in the "Jungles" which was quickly burned down.
 The city authorities succeeded at 12:15 o'clock in assembling parts of Compa- nies B and E, of the Third regiment, Ohio National Guard, which are sta- toned here. % The total force numbers about seventy-five men. They are now on the scene of the fire and have push ed the mob back both ways in Colum- bia street, east from Water street and west from Foster street Just as the troops arrived one more building was fired and no efforts were made to save it. The efforts of the police and fire- men and the guardsmen are now direct ed solely to forcing the rioters back and saving the property outside of the doomed square.
 Dayton, O., Feb. 28.-Companies G and K of the Third regiment of this city have been ordered to Springfield, and will leave by the first train.

PATENT MEDICINES ATTACKED
Hearing Before Massachusetts Public
 Health Committee.

Hearing Before Massachusetts Public
 Health Committee.
 Boston, Feb. 27.--Patent and proprie- tary medicines, so-called, said to con- tain alcohol and poisonous drugs were the subject of severe criticism at a hearing before the committee on pub lie health at the state house to-day. There were a number of bills before the committee having for their object the regulation of traffic in these medicines. Several doctors and representatives of temperance organizations appeared and made sweeping condemnations of these medicines, many of which 1t was de- clared contained cocaine, alcohol, opium, cEnloroform, and other insidious drugs One of the physicians made the statement that a certain bromide selt- ger is so largely charged with acetan- Hide that the ordinary dose, a teaspoon full contains ten grains of the drug, whereas the national pharmacopia gives dose as four grains, and five grains have bsen known to prove fatal. Other largely used medicines, according to druggists and others who expressed their views to the committee, contain quantities of alcohol and narcotic drugs to an extent which almost surpassed belief.

VOTE ON STATEHOOD BILL.
Senate Agrees to Dispose of Measure
 Friday.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The senate to- day agreed to vote on the statehood bill before adjournment on Friday, March 9. The proposition to take the Vote at that time was made by Mir. Beveridge, and there was little difficult ty in reaching an understanding. The suggestion immediately followed a speech in support of the bill by MT. Hopkins, during the course of which MT. Hale suggested that the territories were not prepared for statehood, and suggested that their admission be de- ferred.
 The remainder of the day was devot- ed to the discussion of the bill provid- ing for the settlement of the affairs of the five civilized tribes of Indians, the major portion if the time being given to the provision for the disposal of the coal lands in Indian territory.

BATTLE OF MINDS,
Cromwell Trying to Evade Pertinent
 Questions by Morgan.

Washington. Feb. Civilian Nelson Cromwell and Senator Morgan measur- ed legal minds all day before the senate committee on interoceanic canal, and in drawn battle adjourned until to- morrow, MT. Morgan pursued the wit ness relentlessly concerning his rela- tions with the Panama Canal company asking many skilful questions, which were as skilfully evaded MT. Cromwell drew a line between his actions since the transfer of the canal property to the United States and before the trans fer, and declined positively to answer any questions concerning the earlier period.
 At the close of the day MT. Morgan had brought out scheme for the Americanization of the Panama Canal company which promised to furnish the subject for an interesting examination.
