FEAR BILLS WILL PASS
Will Probably Go Thru California Leg
isIature Before Speaker Stanton
Reaches Sacramento Asain-speaker
Delayed by Washouts.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-The Chron-
icle prints this morning a dispatch
from Sacramento, predicting the pass
age of both Japanese measures
now being considered by the legislat-
ure. These two measures are bills pro-
viding for the segregation of undesir-
able aliens in the resident districts -
towns and cities, and regulations pro-
viding for schools for the Japanese.
Speaker Stanton has been so delayed
by washouts, that it is hardly likely
that he can get back to Sacramento in
time to assert his influence against the
bills, and it is probable that they will
have already been voted on when he
arrives.

SETTLE OLD QUARREL
France and Germany Reach Agreement
Concerning Morocco and Relations Of
Old Enemies Are Closely cemented.

Paris, Feb. 9.-France and Germany
today signed a lfar-reaching agreement
concerning Morocco. thus banishing
the specter which for years has loomed
up internationally as the cause of
strained relations between the two
countries. OF more Importance still,
perhaps, is the moral effect of estab-
fishing, on broad basis friendly re-
lations between the two nations. which
have been separated, so to speak, since
the war of 1870.
The agreement signed today guaran-
tees the integrity of Morocco and in
sures perfect allegiance to the terms of
the Algeciras act. France recognizes
Germany's economic interests in Mo-
rocco, while Germany recognizes the
particular political interest of France
there.
