Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 1S.-The de
fense in the state capitol conspiracy
suit against Contractor Sanderson
and the ex-state officers, Snyder, Mat
hues and Shumaker, on trial in the
Dauphin county court, showed by the
testimony of experts who made meas
urements for Sanderson that the con.
tractor charged in the aggregate for
less square feet of furniture in the
senate and house chambers than the
measurements would have allowed.
These experts testified that the
measurements of the furniture in ques-
ton totalled 45,10S square feet and
that in his bill for this furniture San.
derson charged for 44,016 square feet.
The defense contends that though San.
derson charged the state more for the
famous bootblack stand in the senate
lavatory and for the rostrums than
the actual measurement allowed he
billed other furniture to the state at
less than the actual measurements.
making the difference in the total
number of feet 1902 square feet In
favor of Sanderson.

Sudden Change In Attitude Of Ger
many Responsible.

London, Feb. l5.-What is practical
ly the breakup of the European con-
cert on the Macedonia question has
come as a shock to the chancellories
OF the continent and England, partic-
ularly as quiet Diplomatic season has
been anticipated. The assent of Ger.
many TO the management OF Moroccan
affairs by France, the conclusion Of
agreements to maintain the status quo
in the Mediterranean and the opening
of negotiations looking to treaties
that should accomplish a similar pur.
pose with regard to the North sea
seemed to make the possibility OF DIFF
ferences arising among the powers re-
mote.
The conferences of the ambassadors
at Constantinople also appeared to be
going on smoothly, when a bomb was
thrown into camp by the announce
ment made by Baron Won Bieberstein,
the German ambassador, that Ger
many would no longer act with the
other powers in insisting that Turkey
consent TO their demands. AS to the
cloud that has arisen between Russia
and Austria-Hungary over the projects
for railroad extensions in Macedonia
of the latter state, the right OF Aus.
tria-Hungary to secure a concession
for the Novipazar railroad line and
the justice OF Germany supporting its
ally are recognized in England, but it
is considered that the present time is
inopportune for raising this point.
II is now said that the official
breaking up Of all these international
understandings will aggravste the
Macedonian situation, reopen the
whole near east problem, start a con.
test for railroad concessions which
may lead to serious results and en-
able Turkey to postpone the reforms
for which the ambassadors have been
working.
