FRENCH REPLY READY
FORWARDED TO BERLIN

Rambouillet, France, Sept. 10
President Fallieres today gave ms
formal sanction to the French reply
to the latest note from Germany re-
garding Morocco. Foreign Minister
de Selves, after submitting the docu-
ment, fastened by motor car to Paris,
and if the reply can be transcribed IN
time a courier will leave with it for
Berlin tonight. Otherwise the note
will go forward in the morning.
This reply was agreed upon by the
cabinet yesterday after draft had
been submitted to his colleagues by
the foreign minister, and the s1tua-
ton raised thereby was discussed by
the ministers for three hours.
1t is understood that, as anticl-
pated. the latest French expression
opposes the necessity of maintaining
the commercial equality of all in
Morocco and insists that France shall
have a free hand politically in that
country.
Berlin Is Optimistic
Berlin, Sept. 13.-During the past
few days both at the foreign office
and in social circles the minister of
foreign affairs, Herr Won Kiderlen-
Waechter, has expressed implicit con-
fidence in a satisfactory settlement
with France regarding Morocco. This
confidence is reflected by the staff OF
the foreign Office, which expects that
the French answer to the latest Ger
man note will be received not later
than Monday, and perhaps even as
early as tomorrow. The answer, 1t
is believed, will accept part of the
German proposals, leaving others fol
further negotiations.
The officials deny that Germany S
demand for an allotment of 80 per
cent, in whatever railway and other
concessions France obtains in Moroc-
CO, has been wrongly interpreted
abroad. This division, which Ger.
many also would reciprocate toward
France, does not touch the conces
sions obtained by other countries
| The latter are free to get whatever
concessions may be obtained with
| out sharing with Germany or France

Still SOME DOUBT AS
TO RESULT IN Maine
Indications Are That "Wets" Will
Win by Very Small Majority

Augusta, Me-, Sept. 12.-With the
returns from nine towns and planta-
lions still missing, the result of the
election on the question of State pro-
hibition was early today an appar-
ent majority for the "wets" of
seventy-five, although both sides
claim victory.
Leaders of the "wet" factions vi
gorously asserted that they would
show lead of between $50 and
1000 when all of the returns were
officially counted.
Leaders of the "dry" faction de-
clared that if the "wets" had really
won by margin so small they would
contest the result.
Prohibition leaders in Maine have
not given up hope of victory and will
ask a recount of the votes.
| Pending official count of the bal
lots, which it will take nearly week
to make, the "dry" leaders today are
going over the official returns in the
hope of detecting some error which
may turn the tide victory in their
direction.
The Self-Government League, which
made count in every city and town
early today, places the repeal ma
jority at 140.
With this variety of figures all in
favor of the "wet" forces, there was
every indication that the prohibition
force had been defeated.
Portland, Me-, Sept. 13.-Revised
figures IN the Maine liqucr fight from
twenty cities and 325 towns gives
the prohibitionists today majority
of BAT.
Fifty votes are conceded to have
been entered wrongly in the report
from Precinct 2, Ward 9, but they
. cannot be changed officially until
Aldermanic action has been taken.
All the cities have been recounted
and retabuiated and there remains
the vote of 176 small towns to be
F retabulated. 1t is believed the figures
will show small change in the re-
suit.
r There is jubilation in the dry
. camp and CONSERVATION in the head
i, quarters of the vets. Frederick G..
Fassett, secretary of the Maine nom
partisan local-option league, said to-
S day:
1--WE do not concede that the
amendment has been affirmed. There
has been so much contradiction in
3 the return that we do not know what
S the result is. We shall wait for the
n official canvass, and at that time we
shall decide whether or not to take
steps to secure an inspection of the
e BALLOTS
i The count is being made from the
n official returns of the town and city
clerks. In the twenty cities there
t was change in the majority for re
peal of the Constitution amendment
d of 375 votes. The early returns gav'
# the majority for repeal at 12,1O8

seemed resident In the feathers.
In commenting on this case, La Ma
ture declares that the phenomenon Is
by no means rare and is susceptible tc
very simple explanation. The bird
has merely soiled it's feathers by con
tact with some luminiferous animal
or vegetable matter such as decaying
fish or touchwood. The latter source
is especially probable, as owls, on
which the luminosity has been spe
cially observed, commonly live in hol

Lovers of "Great Expectations"
willremember Mr.. Wemmick, clerk
of a meroiless, driving criminal
lawyer, who was, in the Office of
the city, as hard and cold as his
master. His home, however, was
at Walworth; there he was an af-
fectionate son and good neigh
Dor. All the impuls es that actuated
him there he classed as "Wal-
worth sentiments;" they were
carefully differentiated from those
which moved him in business.
Governor Hadley of the Com
monwealth of Missouri also has
"Walworth sentiments" When
the National Association of Char
tiles and Correction met in st.
Louis he told the members of that
body that he "advocated' biparti-
san or nonpartisan boards for the
supervision of State penal and
charitable institutions. And so he
did, then and there.
But when it came to action
why, that was another story. The
Governor has thus fas appointed
forty three members of such
boards. Forty out of the forty
three are Republicans. The Gov
ernor's tribute to the nonpartisan
idea was "just lovely"-but it was
a Walworth sentiment. After ut
tering it he came down once more
to the practical realities of life, ,and,
with fugitive tear glistening iu
his eye, proceeded to drop from
every board of control which came

ATTORNEY GEN. MAJOR took up
the 2-oent rate case when Hadley
had lost it, threshed the matter in
to shape and fought it through the
Supreme Court of the United
States from end to end. 1t will
be remembered that Hadley tried
to trade off the case by compro-
mising with the railroads on the
basis Of a 2-cent rate on 1000
mile books, 2 IA cents on 1000
mile books, 21-2 cents on 500
mile books, and 3 cent rate on
ticket travel, which amounts to 80
per cent. Of the passenger traffic.
In other words, the regular travel
or with money to buy a two thou
sand mile book could ride for 2
cents while the occasional pas
senger who buys ticket would
have to cough up 3 cents. Major
would not stand for any such dis
elimination against the common
