affected Here. as in the discussion of the first
subject, the American delegates instructed
TO insist upon equality of treatment for Amer
lean commerce, trade. navigation and individual
activities They will also take care to see to it
that the revenues shall be so adjusted to in
sure an equal distribution Of the benefits of
trade among all the treaty nations In the dis
cussion of the subject the American delegates
will also give special attention to the rights Of
the MCrrish people and will favor policy CAL
culated to encourage and assist them in building
up their trade and increasing their commercial
productive capacity.
TO WORK FOR A SQUARE DEAL"
The American delegates are instructed heartily
to support the fourth subject of the programme
which has for its object the prevention of private
monopoly of the public services by letting them
out or diverting them in some other manner
which might prove injurious to the rights Of the
treaty powers whole.
Secretary Roots letter is characterized through
out by clarity of expression and definiteness OF
purpose calculated to impress the powers shar-
ing in the conference with the impartial beneVo-
lence and unbiased friendship cherished by the
Washington government toward all concerned,
an attitude which Mr.. White and Mr.. Gummere
are specifically instructed to assume and rigidly
adhere to. AS the representatives of the WASH
ington government, they are instructed to stand
at all times for the square DEAL not only for
Morocco but for all the interested powers, and
they will make 1t clear that this government in
consenting to enter the conference confidently
expects fair play for all.
By their complete dissertation from any policy,
act expression which in the remotest degree
would tend to thwart or delay an harmonious
ARRANGEMENT between the treaty nations and
Morocco the American delegates are Informed
that this government hopes they may, in the
case of such unfortunate situation, add force
to the absolute fairness Of their advice, thereby
in this negative but the less influential
manner making for the complete harmony and
accord Of the conference.
The delegates will be in constant touch with
the department by cable, and whatever decisions
they may reach will be subject to the approval
of the department. If a treaty is agreed to
the American delegates will subscribe to 1t ad
referendum, leaving the question of the ap-
prevail of their acts to the subsequent consdera-
ton of the Department of State. and If the
departments approval should be given leaving
the resulting treaty to be passed on by the
American Senate before it's final ratification.

Mr.. Wanton S. Webb is Dead.

1t was only a few weeks ago that
we received letter fgom Mr.. Wanton
S. Webb making inquiries about his
whilom friends in this city and ex-
tending us a cordial invitation to
spend a portion of the summer with
him and expressing his great love for
Florida and her people.
The Times-Union contained a notice
of his death, which occurred at his
home at Lisbon, New Hampshire, and
of his burial at his old home in Prov
idence, R.SI.
About twenty years ago Mr.. Webb
was a citizen of Florida and took
great interest in advertising her re-
sources. He was one of the factors
in promoting the sub-tropical exposi-
tipn at Jacksonville and the semi-tro-
pical exposition in Ocala and after
wards procured a car containing
many of the products of Florida at
tractively arranged and exhibited the
same in many of the states of the
union. This car was called Florida
on Wheels"
Many of the older citizens of Flor
ida will regret to learn of Mr.. Webb's
death.
