AGREEMENT NOW SEEMS NEAR
Hope Revived at AIgeclras Confer
ference Over Morocco.

London, March 5.-The Algeciras
conference on Moroccan AFFAIRS will
continue this week to be the focus
point in international interest. The
question of the Moroccan bank having
been practically passed over the con.
ferees will next consider the most i'm.
portant point, the policing of the coun-
try, Should agreement or this ques-
ton be possible an early solution OF
the whole problem and an adjourn
ment Of the conference may be looked
for. A dispatch from Algericas says:
One Of the delegates having a most
vital interest in the conference said
that a settlement of the controversy
between France and Germany now
seemed possible. but he declined to
make known the lines the arrange
ment would take. However, the trend
of recent events has indicated that If
any settlement is reached 1t would
most likely be because France would
make concessions with reference to
the bank question and Germany in re-
turn would adopt a less uncompromis'
ing attitude concerning the police.

LAND LEASING BILL UP AGAIN.
Cornell Of Valentine Appears Before
Committee and Explains Views.

e''S -NFS''S
Washington, March 3.-The house
committee on public lands considered
the question of leasing public lands in
Nebraska. G. II. Cornell of Valentine
addressed the committee in favor of
the bill which he drew and which was
introduced by Congressman Kinkaid.
The Cornell bill looks to leasing the
lands to the highest bidder without
limiting the area any bidder may Sc.
cure, except that it provides a prefer.
ence in favor of the freeholders in the
vicinity.
Cornell took up the case of Cherry
and showed that the Lacey bill, which
limits individual holdings to 5000
acres, would be utterly inadequate to
meet conditions there. There are, he
said, about 200 owners of herds in that
big county, and they occupy its entire
area. Under the Lacey bill they could
not get more than 5000 acres each.
That would give them, II everyone Sc.
cured the maximum, about one-third
the grazing area of the county.
The committee took no action, the
members discussing the different
measures and finally naming Chair.
man Lacey, Congressman Mccarthy
of Nebraska and Martin OF South Da.

decide what n they would recon
mend as a basis for discussion.
