POLICY OF FRANCE
PIGEON MAKES SPEECH IN CHAM
 BIER OF DEPUTIES.
Preferred Not to Discuss the Delcasse Imcldent. Says France VIII Not Permit ImteTmatl0naIiEa-
 tiOn of Morocco.

Paris. Jany. 2T.--None of the sensa- tionai surprises anticipated in connec- ton with the Moroccoan debate in tho Chamber of deputies today occurred.
 M Pichon. minister of foreign affairs, speaking for the government showed plainly that the cabinet without ig- noring, prefers not to discuss the Lel- casse incident which aroused such a storm of vituperation beyond the Rhine and such high praise across the channel. He went no further than to register an energetic protest against the idea that the restoration of France's prestige was due to the ex-minister.
 "The foreign policy of France he said. Ifs not the work of one man. one party or one government. France has recovered her place. lost fin tho catas- trophe of 1871 as the result of thirty seven years of republican effort. The Russian alliance was desired from the beginning; the Anslo-French Entente was welcomed by all partiesi we brought about a raphrochement with Italy, frightened the bonds with Spain. concluded an accord with Japan, aided in the re-establishment of the Russo Japanese relations and dissipated An- ogl-Russian misunderstanding and thus restored France to her place in Europe. Our policy was not directed against any one or tc Isolate any one, it was conceived solely in the interest of peace of tho world"
 M Pichon's strongest words in con nection with Morocco which were re- eaived with cheers. were: France, on account of Algeria. could never permit the internationaIization of Morocco"
 While pointing out Europe's interest in seeing Abud- El- Aziz, the Sultan. prevail over his brother who had de- clared war upon all foreigners. that Pichon made it clear that France would remain neutral France had been for ced, he said. by increasing anarchy.

A deaf mute negro. whose name is Sterling sharker. held at the county jaI on the charge of burglary and grand larceny. wrote one of the most unicue letters which has ever been brought to the attention of the jafi authorities. The letter itself is very amusing, as a perusal of it will show. Although written to some one who has known the negro for some time the jail authorities do not know to whom 1t should be delivered.
 The authorities at the jail cannot communicates with Sharker to any ex- tent. and have been unable to ascer- tain the prominent citizen. Perhaps 1t will be delivered. If the person who

 Pays Morgan . CompIf-

Washington, Jan. 27.--In an sshaus- tive speech in the House today. Mir. Fowler, Chairman of the Ccmmittee on Banking and Currency. branded as false newspaper stories in regard to the conversation between himself and Speaker Cannon. in which Mir. Fowler is alleged to have been told that the Aidrich bill must pass, and that in order tofefrect speedy legislation, the Spsaker had seriously considered drop ping Mr. Fowler as chairman of the committee.
 The only word he had on the sub- Ject with the Speaker, he said. was that the latter had told him he did not de- sire any financial measure brought fin before the Christmas holidays. Mir. Fowler declared that his response was that he thought it not only unw;se to bring financial bfllsin before the ho1- fdays. but useless and unwise for this entire session."
 MT. Fowler declared that the United States has the worst financial and cur rency process .n the wcrld. instead of the best. Mir. Fowler favors coining reserves out of gold United States notes. he said, are mere promises to ing the war. They have never been retired because neither the Republican nor the Democratic parties ever have the political courage to do their duty
 Mir. Fowler paid a tribute to Grover Cleveland flor his courage .n grasping the free silver monster by the throat and appealing to Americans to provide for the maintenance of the national honor by handling and controlling ex- changes until- we could recoup our gold" His concluding reference to Mir. Cleveland was greeted with loud Den- ocratfc applause when he said: '1 for one, thank God that man like Grover Cleveland was President of the United States that year (1ss5)."
 The sub treasury system of the Gov ernmept was attacked by Mir. Fowler as a curse to trade and commerce.
 Referring to the action of J. J.Pierpont Morgan in coming to the rescue ofl the money market recently, Mir. Fowler asserted that an individual bapkinE system cannot exist alone because eV- cry serious runor causes runs" and the banlks know they cannot survive. These banks. he said, should be CO., n1onious whole. It was high time, he said, depositors knew what was in tue bowels of the banks when they placed their money with them.
 Mir. Fowler expressed his opposition to the establishment of a central bank, giving as one of his reasons that the United States Is too partisan and that its institutions are not suited for such bank.
 Mir. Fowler was bombarded with a number of questions regarding the de- tails of has bill. He declared that should it pass. 1t would raise the bank and trust company reserves by s60O,- 000.O00 and he said that amount of gold taken from the pockets of the rN. r. .-.4. =. a- be replaced by the credit notes of the banks.
