FRENCH RESENTMENT.
Denial of German limitations
Terms OF Note to POICerS.

Paris Sent 4-French official circles resent
aeeplv the intiulation conveyed in inspired COM
rnunications from Berlin to the effect that the
real purpose Of France IN delaying the recog-
milton OF Mulai Hafg is TO permit the repunhc
10 make n advance private arrangements Tor
the protection Of special French interests The
following statement was authorized to-day;
Such intiuaations may be categorically denied.
We are conducting no private negotiations:
what we are doing is in the general interest OF
ali the powers after Mulai Hahg is recognized
we are confident that We shall be able TO take
care Of ourselves
The German attempt TO make il appear that
France some time ago sent q consular official
like Dr. vassel TO Fez also is officially repudIat-
ed T is explained that the man whom France
sent 70 Fez was native Of Algeria whose mis-
sion was simply 10 act as custodian Of the valu-
able French archives there He was in no sense
e consul ike Dr.. VasseL
With reference TO the German suggestion that
France is trying 10 secure from Mulai Hafg
advance Endorsement Of the loans made by
French interests 10 Abd-el-Aziz, it is explained
that the French creditors Of Abd-eI-Aziz mold
his jewels as security and that the other loans
were made by the Moroccan State Bank, in
which Germany. like the other powers, has g
representative.
Of the terms Of the joint note before communi-
eating il 10 the powers
Il was learned to-day that in addition TO the
points enumerated in these dispatches yesterday
the Franco-Spanish note to the powers regard
ing Morocco viii propose that Mulai Hafg agree
70 reimburse the expenses occasoned by the
International Intervention at Casablanca and
other Moroccan ports and the measures which
had 70 be taken in consequence Of this inter
vention to maintain security and order
France has been informed that Great Britain
has answered the German communication pro-
posing that AIuIai Hafg be recognized, by saying
that she viii do nothing until she has received
the Franco Spanish note Italy has acknowI-
edged the receipt Of the German communication
but also says she will make no reply until the
Franco-Spanish note is received.
The conviction prevails in official circles this
afternoon that Germany's move has failed and
that she viii not alone go to the point Of rec
ogniztng Mulai Hahg IN advance of the other
powers.

WRIGHT FLIES AGAIN
Successful Test of Aeroplane at
Fort Myer.

Washington, Sept 4-OrviIle Wright made
another fight over the drill grounds at Fort
Myer to-day. In which he encircled the field five
times in addition to going its full length before
landing directly in front Of the tent which shell
tiers the machine The time consumed in fight
was four minutes and fifteen seconds. the aero
plane being under the control of Mr.. Wright
throughout the flight The wind blowing
at rate Of three and three-ffths miles an
hour. and the speed Of the aeroplane esti
mated at thirty-fve miles hour Thirty feet
from the ground the greatest height at
tanned. It evident that the machine was
under better control to-day than yesterday.
This morning Mr.. Wright replaced the runner
broken yesterday. and at o'clock this after
noon the machine taken to the northern
end of the drill grounds. where the starting ap-
paratus is located. preliminary test Of the
motor proving satisfactory, the wheels support
ing the machine were taken from under 1t. md
Mr.. Wright started the motor and took his place
in the aviators seat.
At 5:55 o'clock Mr.. Wright nodded to his as
sistant, C. E. Taylor, and the machine re-
leased. The weights suspended from wooden
tower gave It it's first impetus, and 1t glided
along the fifty foot track it's speed increased
Leaving the track the machine was turned up
ward by the operator, and, dipping slightly,
continued to rise as it made for the southern
end Of the field.
Recalling yesterdays mshap. Mr. Wright
turned the machine when half way down the
field, but with each succeeding lap he ap-
preached nearer to the tent. He made several
sharp turns and at point repeated the mis-
take made yesterday. but he was able to right
the machine before descending too near the
earth One Of the most impressive features OF
the aeroplane's performance was the ease with
which it was brought to earth when half way
around on the sixth lap.
with each succeeding fight said MT
Wright after he landed, II will secure better
control Of the aeroplane. The difficulty l ex-
perience now Is that I pull the levers too far
This is natural in view Of the length Of time
since my last fights. but with few more trials
am confident that I will have perfect control
OF the planes"
An enthusiastic crowd witnessed to-days
flight The parade ground was kept clear by
cavaIrymen and artillery stationed at Fort
Myer Mr.. Wright greatly pleased with
the test, and said that he would make a flight
tomorrow morning If weather conditions were
favorable
