London, July 27.-The most pes
simistic views regarding the acuteness
of the Mococcan crisis were largely
confirmed by the prime minister of the
house Of coII1nons today when, with
en- impressive manner, he read from a
carefully prepared manuscript q warn
ing to Germany that Great Britain
proposes to stand for what she con-
siders her rights and maintain the bal
ancc OF power in Europe. Balfour's
declaration was no less firm thar AS
quith's.
Premier Asuuith made a statement
which fully bore out the description of
the situation as one Of real anxiety.
The situation, the premier said. had
reached a point at which 1t was bound
to become difficult and harassing un-
less a solution was found.
Mr.. Asquith said that Great Britain
was not party to the conversations
proceeding between France and Ger
many but earnestly and sincerely de-
sired to see them result In an agre-
ment honorable and satisfactory to all
parties. He earnestly appealed to the
house not to seek to enter into the de-
tails Of the situation at the present
moment. The premier said the gov
ernment had thought 1t right from the
beginning to make 1t clear that, failing
satisfactory settlement, 1t must be-
come an active party TO discussion
OF the situation.
A too close analysis now of the
causes Of the present incident might
provoke recriminations, which, the
minister said, II was desirable to
avoid The questions of Morocco bris-
tied with difficulties. The government
claims no predominant position there
and any statement that they had
prejudiced the negotiations between
France and Germany was mischiev-
Gus invention.
A leading European diplomat today
summed up the present political situ-
alton for the Associated Press as q
moment OF extreme tension when any
thing might happen, but from which
some sort of an agreement was likely
to emerge.
Morocco had become a secondary
issue. The real struggle was between
Great Britain and Germany, with Ger
many striving for a stronger and more
influential moral position among the
European powers and at the same time
for territorial and economic expansion
Much depends" added the diplo-
mat, ION with how little Germany
would be contented and much on the
personal attitude Of the emperor upon
his return to Berlin"

Washington, July 27.-Gifford Pin
chot, former government chief forester
and now president of the National
Conservation Association, today issued
a statement declaring that President
Taft leaves the root of the matter
wholly untouched" in his message to
the senate denying there could be any
monopolization of the water front Of
Controller Bay, Alaska. Mr.. Pinchot
opens his statement with this charge:
The presidents defense of his course
in the Controller Bay affair shows
how hard it is to make a good excuse
for a bad mistake" Concluding Mr..
Pinchot says:
TT is unfortunate that the friends
of conservation, in their effort to bring
about the development of Alaska for
the benefit of the people, are continual
ly obliged to expend their strength
against the men who ought to be the
protectors of the peoples property. 1t
looks to me like unnecessary duplica-
ton of work-when we must first fight
the policeman before we can get
chance to stop the looting."

Washington, July 27.-Out of what
appeared to be a chaotic condition OF
the senate there suddenly arose today
a coalition of Democrats and 1nsurgent
Republicans which bowled over the
regular organization and passed COM
promise bill for a revision OF the wool
en- tariff by a vote of 48 to 80.
This new force of the senate, united
on a material reduction of tariff duties
all down the line, flushed with victory,
is tonight threatening not only to en-
act the So called house farmers free
list bill into q law next Tuesday, but
to put through cotton bill as well.
The insurgents want the sugar and
steel schedules included In the pro-
gram.
The house Democratic leaders are
unwilling to accept the compromise
bill as 1t passed the senate today, but
are more than willing to meet the SEN
ate conferees. Underwood expressed
the belief that a bill satisfactory to
both houses will more than likely be
agreed upon. The senate conferees
will probably be La Toilette, an in
surgent Republican, and Bailey and
Simmons, Democrats.
is A COMPROMISE.
The bill as 1t was passed by the
senate today was drawn by La Toilette
and was a compromise between the
Underwood bill, passed by the house,
and the original La Toilette bill, both
of which were forced out of the way.
Some idea of the compromise may be
had from the proposed rates on raw
wool. The house bill proposed rate
of 20 per cent advalorem while the
original La Toilette bill proposed a 40
per cent rate. The compromise bill
fixes the rate at 35 and II Is predicted
the conference viii put II to 80.
The INCREMENT under which the
wool bill was put through extends to
the farmers free list, now on the SEN
ate calendar, and the passage OF that
measure in modified form seems GER
tain tonight.
The result in the senate came with
surprising quickless. Senator La Fol-

received but fourteen votes, those OF
insurgent Republicans, while the I'm

with equal facility, only the Demo-

reconsider the vote and the Democrats

derwood bill, Joined in the vote to- re-
consider. The Underwood bill was
brought back to life and La Toilette
offered the compromise bill agreed
upon. It was attached to the Under
wood measure as substitute for that
bill, and passed by vote Of 4S to 81.
