MAY INVOLVE ALL EUROPE
DIPLOMATS FEAR TROUBLES IN
MOROCCO MAY RESULT IN
WIDESPREAD CLASH.

Berlin, Aug. 27.-While the Euro
peans in Morocco are fighting desper-
ately for life against the fanatic
tribesmen, possibilities OF serious
complications among the nations OF
Europe are causing the greatest anx-
iety to diplomats in the continental
capitals. Constant conferences are
being held in the various cities by
representatives of the foreign bureaus
of the governments, and every dis
patch from Africa is scanned with Sc
rious efforts to read between the
lines.
Mutual charges of breach of faith,
as far as the maintenance of b AL
geciras convention, are made openly
in the French and Spanish papers,
though the governments themselves
have thus far carefully refrained from
criticism of n another.
Break Aigeciras Treaty.
In Germany the chief interest cen
tiers in the methods employed by the
French in the s%ubjugation of the out
breaks, while the principal attention
paid to the Spanish course is IN the
nature of speculations as to whether
that country is going to fulfill what
France claims is it's duty in the mat
ter of putting down the uprising.
Events of the week have led to a
peculiarly significant situation in the
Moorish kingdom and in Europe gen
orally, the nations most vitality on
cerned being France, England, Ger
many and Spain. while Russia and
Italy, as participants in the Algeciras
conference are more or less directly
interested in the outcome.
Among the officials here the Moroc-
can situation is being regarded as a
possible d%isrupter of the Algeciras
convention, inasmuch as the procla-
nation of a revolution in that country
is certain to be followed by fresh on
slaughts by the natives on the Euro
peans, and this in urn by reprisals.

MAKE MORE MONEY
UNDER 2-CfNT LAW
RAILROADS. OWN SHOW.
ING.
EARN 100000 MORE IN Year
AFFIDAVITS BY STATE MAKE A
STRONG SHOWING FOR CON-
TESTED LAWS.

st. Paul, Aug. 25.-The 2-cent pas
creased earnings for the railroads do
Ing business in Minnesota, according
to figures compiled by the railroad
commission from statements furnish
ed by the railroads for the months OF
May and June. The passenger reve-
Il for those months in Minnesota
exceeded one-sixth of the Minnesota
passenger earnings for 1906, except on
the Great Western and the Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis.
Years Increase Will Be 100000.
Based upon the increased business
Of the first two months Of the opera
ton of the 2-cent law, the total in
crease for the whole year will be
81, 900 900 on business entirely within
Minnesota.
On this showing the state will rest
its case as to the 2-cent fare law as
proof that the law is not confiscatory.
Afidavits emhodying these figures
We're served yesterday on the attor-
neys for the stockholders, who are
dShihS Ao1 du INJUNCTION against Inc
rate laws.
Commodity Rate Comparisons.
Affidavits were also filed as to the
commodity rate law, showing hat it
is not unreasonable nor confiscatory.
These are more complicated, but in
summary show that the average
rate per ton per mile under the law
Will be higher than the actual revenue
per ton per mile last year, not only in
Minnesota but over the entire lines.
These facts are deduced from the
companies own showing.
The state also served its answers
yesterday to the original complaint of
the stockholders, and this with the
voluminous aftidavits constitute the
states case as it will be presented for
argument before Judge Lochren on
Sept. 8.
