 Widely divergent views were expressed by some of the governors attending the convention here
 Governor Albert w. Glchrist of Florida said:
 Tt appears that prohibition waves sweep the country about every 20 years. In 1855 or 1856 the New England states went dry. Maine got 1t into her consti- tuition and could not get 1t out.

 Against the strong current of ihe Yangtse Kiang the three cruisers are like ly to make slow headway. They are ex- pected at Ranking. At that point they will be relieved by some of the light draft gunboats, which will push on up the river to get as near as possible to Szechuen province and afford asylum to the ,lis- sonaries who have been obliged to leave Cheng Tu, in the heart of that province. where the soldiers and rioters have clashed with casualties.

Moroccan Negotiations Are
 Now Expected to Be 1 Prolonged
WAR RUMORS ARE
 STILL IN THE AIR
Probability of Possibilities Denied But at Same Time England. France Germany and Holland Are
 Making Preparations

I Paris, September ll.--Franees reply to Germany's counter proposals in the Mo roccan negotiations has been written and will be laid before the French cabinet tomorrow for approval The task of drawing up the reply proved simpler than expected doubtless because the German demands were such as could not be accepted by France.
 The premier, M. Caillaux, after con- ferring with several colleagues. made up his mind tonight to convoke a cabinet meeting for { o'clock tomorrow afternoon and sent notices to the ministers. M Calllaux will lay before them his answer to Germany after which it will be des- patched by special courier 10 the French ambassador at Berlin who will hand it to the German foreign minister
 It is understood that the reply while written in a spirit of conciliatlon Is ab- solutely firm with respect to the position assumed concerning questions of principle from which France will not depart a hairs breadth. The premier's enerFetic and business like manner of proeeedins has had good effect.
 Ii was regarded as another proof or lne absolute unanimity and firmness or tne government as to its policy and as ma'ii- festaton of the governments desire % do its utmost to shorten the period ol uncertainty which is receiving pre1uoiclai comments in the markets of the world. It also removes charges that Rrance by delay assisted in bringing about tnrth-' CT financial distress in Germany.
 The board outlines of Germanys pro- posaI have been communicated 10 the public because the government believes that the people have right to kno" at this period of tensity what is being done. Foreign Minister De Selves also indicated in a semi-official note tha' Frances reply would be a refusal 'o | accept Germany's conditions In tris
 French opinion appears to be who''s united and prepared for any contingency
 One viewpoint in official quarters that Gerniany's financiai sft'iaa'sa whic is expected to reach a climax by tn end of September may tend to modera' I Germanys demands.
