-Four years ago tho hand of death
threw ill their plots into confusion
when 1t was laid upon Senator Hanna

mot know Root as we'll as the Prcsi-
dent knows him.
Roosevelt gave him his chancc and
would have been satisfied TO sec him

popular response and Root had no
choice but to fall out of the race. The
conservatives have been trying to
tempt him back i'll opposition to the
Presidents choice, but he is too saga.

This leaves the conservatives with
the rather sorry equipment OF Fair
banks, Foraker, Shaw and Cannon.
Even their blind rage against the
President and his ideas does not hide
from them the utter imposslblllty Of
all OF these. They are hunting for
more available material and lately
have had the daring to invade tho
Presidents cabinet with 1nsidious
temptation for Cortelyou.
This must be n painful shock for
the President, who has been accus.

IN life to Hanna and always has been
rather thick with that crowd OF Re-

Their publicity service Is conveying
the idea that he has listened to the
temptation; That he dreams of tho
presidency day and night; that he is
in secret alliance with the Ohio in.

be wax In their bands when the time

TO BE ENTERTAINED
BY THE PRESIDENT
Colonel Bush Will Take Part In the
Industrial Peace Conference at
the White House.

Col T. G. Bush, who was appointed by
President Roosevelt a member of the
commission of industrial peace on the
Nobel foundation, left for Washington
yesterday evening for the purpose of
attending the first conference of the COM
missioners, which will be held at the
White House tomorrow.
The board is composed of the Chief
Justice of the United States, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor; President Hughitt

ing capital; John Mitchell president Of
the United Mine Workers of America,
representing labor, and Seth Low and I .
G. Bush, representing the country at
large.
The commissioners are to be entertained
by Pre- sident Roosevelt at luncheon or
dinner.
Colonel Bush said that he had not been
ADVISED as to the scope of the commits
sion's duties. The object of the conference
was, he understood, to take preliminary
steps along the line of organization. There
would be, he supposed. an interchange Of
views so that natter of general pro-
cedure could be agreed upon.
Colonel Bush expects to return Satur-
day.

Shirtwaists of 1907.

From Harper's Bazaar.
There is less variety than usual in the
shirtwaist models for 1907 Three or four
leading makers are showing practically
the same design, a waist having groups OF
the narrowest .tucks running to collar
and shoulder seam, and closing down the
front under box fold. The button holes
pierce this and the buttons; are visible.
They are pearl, as a rule, and not fancy
shirtwaist sets such as have been seen
for some seasons The materials used are
heavy and fine linen, percale and hne
lawns. All the seasons shirtwaists open
in the front. The new note lies IN the
frilled edges of the front box fastening.
On each side of this there is a close, line,
pleated ruching of self goods, extending
not more than an inch. Some Of the max
ers are advancing designs for an ADJUST
able front of this kind to be worn over
a strictly plain shrtwaist. Others are
making the box of fine dotted lawn-say,
red dots on white or blue dots.

PRESS SUPPORTS CABINET

Morocco Paris, March 26.-Replyng in
the chamber of deputies today to inter-
polations ON the subject of Morocco, For
eign Minister Pchon said the situation
had become intolerable. The Moors were
more and more insolent and efficacious
measures were necessary to compel the
sultan to restore order and respect
French rights. Besides the occupation of
Oudja France would demand indemni-
ties, PREPARATION and the introduction of
measures providing for the security of
{, .eigners The policy of France was
not one of conquest.
The chamber unanimously adopted
resolution of confidence in the govern
ment.
Private dispatches received here say
that General Liautey has occupied OudJa,
but they are not confirmed.
France does not expect any opposition
upon the part of any power against the
course she has mapped out in regard to
Morocco. The official view Of the situa-
ton is:
Official View.
THE question is entirely between France
and Morocco There Is not the slightest
reason for outside complications. France
is not actuated By Interior motives. Inc
OCCUPATION of Oudia is for the purpose or
demonstra ting to Morocco that she CANNOT
fiaunt France with impunity as hereto
fore: France has been extremely lenient.
When an outrage occurred she has con-
tented herself with presenting her claims
through diplomatic circles These have
been disregarded so long that France has
been compelled to teach the Sulta les
son. The commander of the armored
cruiser Jeanne D'Arc, when the vessel
arrives at Tangler, will hand a, list. of
the French demands to Mohhammed Ell
Torrez, a representative of the Sultan
Besides satisfa ction for the murder of Dr.
Mauschamp and the organization of
Moorish police force on the Algerian from
tier, Morocco will be required to put an
end to the anarchists conditions under
which the lives of foreigners of all nations
in Moroccan territory are constantly en-
dangered. France believes the Sultan VIII
yield without any trouble.
In Selling Oudja France places her
finerg on the nerve center of Moroccan
commerce. 1t is walled town where
caravans arrive and depart, from and to
all points in the interior and where the
sultan collects taxes upon goods from
the interior and the exterior. The French
government learns with satisfaction that
Germany recognizes Frances right to act
I'm the matter and that it is generally
agreed that no power is justified in in
terfering.

WILLIAMS SPEAKS
IN COLUMBUS, MISS
500 PEOPLE HEAR CANDIDATE
FOR U. S. SENATE-GIVES REA-
SONS FOR OPPOSING GOVERN
MENT OWNERSHIP OF ROADS.

Columbus, Miss, March 26.-(Special.)-
John Sharp Williams arrived in Column
bus about noon today and at 2 o'clock
was introduced by r. Sherman to an au-
dence of fully five hundred people who
had assembled at the court house to hear
this distinguished Mississippian discuss
the political issues, and make his formal
appearance before the people of this i'm
mediate section. The speaker began his
remarks by thanking the large concourse
for their presence and especially the
many ladies. He then entered into a dis
cussion of the principles of democracy
as laid down by Thomas Jefferson. This
was along general lines and every re-
mark was well received. He then took
up the subject OF repeating the fifteenth
mendment. He said this was an utter
impossibilty for various reasons, the
same as he has given before in other
public utterances.
The speaker then said that the only
real issue between himself and Cover
nor Nardaman in their race for the
United States senatorship was that OF
the government ownership of railroads.
Mr.. Williams strongly opposes this while
the governor agrees with the views of
VIM. j. Bryan.
Upon this subject he said the only pos
sible way the government could operate
railroads was under the civil service plan
which would necessarily be the only logi-
cal plan. Should this ever come to pass
with the present civil service rule now
in operation in the postoffice department.,
it would bring the race question into
prominence again, and Mr.. Williams
pointed out the offensiveness of having
negroes in high positions both in the
offices and on the trains.
At the close of the address the speaker
was applauded. He spoke little over
two hours. closing in time to leave at
4:30 for Nettleton, Miss. While in Co.
lumbus Mr.. Williams was a guest at
the home of General Lee and made the
persona. acquaintance Of large number
of people

To FIGHT
AMERICAN TRADE
Resent Treaty With Germany
Ignoring Her Claims
WASHINGTON CONCERNED
Legislation In France, If Enacted, Will
Go Far Towards Destroying Amer
lean Trade In That
Country.
WASHINGTON CONCERNED

Paris, March 26.-While the campaign
in favor of higher tariff duties on French
imports with maximum and minimum
rates is primarily to secure preferential
concessions from all foreign countries, In
harmony with the system of double rates
generally being adopted by continental
countries, it is impossible to deny that
special campaign Is being projected
against America. French commercial in
terests are convinced that America has
more to lose than France in refusing to
make a reciprocal treaty, as they believe
that the peculiar articles of French ex-
portation taken by the United States cam
not be procured elsewhere and would be
imported irrespective of rates. On the
other hand, American exports, as in the
case of cottonseed oil, will feel the force
of every increase of duty. There is also,
undoubtedly, considerable resentment at
the seeming willingness of the United
States to make a reciprocal treaty or
commercial arrangement with Germany
while the claims of France are ignored.
They maintain that under every rule of
equity France should be the first coun-
try with which a reciprocal arrangement
should be concluded, because France
came forward after the enactment of the
Dingley bill In 1897 and concluded a
treaty under the reciprocity clause of
that act, and then from time to time
extended its life in the hope that it would
be ratified.
Since its rejection the ardor of the
French has cooled and they take the po-
sition that they can now afford to wait
until the United States makes a move. 1t
is especially CALLING to them, therefore,
to see the United States pass France by
and open negotiations with Germany, one
of her biggest commercial rivals.
