NATIONS BeGlN SpARRlNG.


Algericas, Jan. 29.-The plenipo-
tentiaries we're entertained at the
Moroccan conference by an almost
continuous skirmish between M. Re-
vOil, head of the French delegation,
and Count Won Tattenbach, the Sec
ond of Germany's delegates.
While the amenities were carefully
observed the other delegates were con-
scious that this was the beginning of
fresh controversies between France
and Germany which are likely to be
long and protracted and of increasing
earnestness.
The offense displayed by the two
plenipotentiaries suggested their differ
ences of race. NJ. Revolt was keen,
skillful in fine diplomatic phrasings,
and with grace of expression and a
winning personality. Count Won Tat
tenbach was downright of speech and
soldierly in manner, trusting to the
solidity of his ideas and to his facts.
The two plenipotentiaries are not in
sympathy, and draw apart outside the
council room. Both are of high am
bition and it will be difficult for either
to yield to the other.

cured sweeping restraining order
from Judge Sears enjoining all mem
bers OF the Typographical union from
interfering in any way with their bus
mess or their employees. The printers
are forbidden to try to induce non
union men to quit their jobs, either
by conversing with or writing to them,
and are also enjoined from TRYING to
divert business from the Typothetae
firms to other houses. The matter
will come up for hearing February z.
Employers say that the order is due
to the fact that several non-union
men have recently been assaulted.
The union disclaims all responsibility
for these assaults.

REPORT ON HEPBURN BILL
IS NOW BEFORE congress

Washington, Jan. 29.-Chairman
Hepburn has reported to the house his
railroad bill with the favorable recon-
mendation of the entire Republican
and Democratic membership of the
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee. The bill will come up in the
house during this week.
The report is comprehensive ex-
PLANTATION of the measure. Prelimi-
nary to giving details of the intention
of each section, the statement is made
that the bill is the product of several
years consideration by the committee.
1t is made up from nineteen bills
which we're before the committee and
the information contained in five vol
umes of hearings before the senate and
house committees.
Section 4 of the bill confers power
on the interstate commerce commits
sion to establish rate or to declare
what will be proper charge in GER
tain instance. The report states in
this connection that it is just to the
commission to state that none of its
members think it wise that authority
to take the initiative in rate making
should be conferred upon it.
Its jurisdiction is confined to cases
where complaint has been made, when
it is authorized to declare what shall
be "just and reasonable and fairly
remunerative rate or rates, charge or
charges to be thereafter observed in
such case as the maximum to be
charged, and what regulation or prac
tice in respect to such transportation
is just and fair and reasonable there
after to be followed and to make an
order that the carrier shall cease and
desist from such violation to the eX-
tent to which the commission find the
same to exist and shall not thereafter
publish demand or collect any rate OF
charge for such transportation in ex.
cess of the maximum rate or charge sc
prescribed and shall cOnfrom to the
regulation or practice so prescribed"
The bill provides for two additional
members of the commission, the term
of service for a commissioner being in.
creased to seven years and the salary
to $4,000.
