prevails In French diplomatic circles
that the negotiations being con

Of the 'rebellious tribesmen for the
settlement OF the present Moroccan
troubles will soon reach successful

| The terms of peace now being dis

Second-An agreement that no

within radius Of twelve Kilometres

Third--The acceptance In principle

tion, the amount of which win be

Fourth-The surrender OF hostages

ditiuns.
II peace is arranged on the above
terms no further landings of troops
viii be ade. and. pending the result OF
the negotiations, the orders for the
embarkments and forwarding OF re.
inforcements have been resclnded.
The delegates OF the Moorish tribes
expected to give the final response of
the tribesmen on Thursday.
Owing to misunderstanding on
the part OF the trihesmen outside or
Mazagan as to the cause of the boom
ing Of guns during target practice by
the French cruiser Condo last Friday
the European residents OF the town
had a narrow escape from massacre.
The cruiser went out for practice
without notifying the authorities Of
her purpose, and as soon as the guns
were heard tho tribesmen believed
that troops were about to ocenpy the
town and galloped in to secure their
share Of the pillage, as they did at
Casahlancae
The Jews and Europeans were
quite defenseless and became panic
stricken. The guards saved the sitra-
tion. With great presence of mind
they shut the tow2a gates before
many Of the tribesmen got in and
only few Jewish shops were pil-
laged.

THE HARTMAN TESTIMONY.

There is no other person in the
United States who should read the
testimony of Mr.. Hartman before
the interstate commerce commission
with SO much care as the Hon. VIM.
]. Bryan, says Judge Goodwin in the
Salt Lake Telegram. If we mistake
not he will be impressed with the
thought that, after all, the handling
of railroads is so complicated and re-
curing an order of mind so much
like that needed by great general,
that, after all, there might be dan
ger in turning it over to politicians
to be played for all there is in it by
each succeeding administration. If
Mr.. Hartman has made nothing else
clear he has revealed he has grasp
of mind and sagacity to trace out
In advance effects from certain nu-
merous causes that is little less than,
marvellous.
When he took in the Union and
Southern Pacific roads, paying all Of
their treemndous debts, the thought
was in the public mind that these
roads could never be made to pay
anything like the natural operating
expenses and the interest on their
awful cost. But at that time they
consisted of little more than o big
streak of rusty and half worn out
steel and right of way. Since then
Mr.. Hartman has expended 1000
per mile along the whole line and
has quadrnpled the earnings. In the
meantime he has kept everything
roaring until it has really become the
most important long line of railway
in the United States. Could the car
and steel works have promptly filled
orders 1t would now be the best
equipped road west of the main line
in Pennsylvania of the Pennsylva-
MIA Central In the meantime the
Oregon Short Line has been perfect
ed and superbly equipped. Suppose
the government had held possession
of these roads and had tried to do
what Mr.. Hartman has done, does
anyone believe the result would have
compared with the present result?
Government ownership of roads is
something too big to place in the
hands of politicians to experiment
with.
