QUAKER CITY WILL
HAVE 'REALEVENT'
House Rivers and Harbors Body
let Al" to Inspect Port
"and Other Things"

For the first time in its history Phila-
deIphia will entertain the Rivers and
Harbors Committee OF the House OF
Representatives, when, on Friday next
the members of the committee, with
guests numbering about seventy-ive per-
sons I'm all, will make trip TO the
Quaker City in the interests OF the port
and the League Island Navy Yard.
This trip is the result OF the continued
efforts OF Representatives Michael Dona'
hue and Robert +. Lee, the former on
the Rivers and Harbors and the latter on
the Naval Affairs Committee.
The committee will first take up tire
inspection Of the work Of dredging the
channel OF the Delaware River.
After the inspection OF the channel
work, the visitors will proceed to League
Island. There a most minute examination
will be made OF the great navy yard
and the site OF the projected new great
dry dock will be viewed.
II is probable that luncheon will be
served in the yard under the direction
OF the local committee. After the toui
Of inspection, the party will return tC
the BelIevue-Stratford in automobiles.
II is likely that the crowning feature
Of the visit will be banquet TO the dis
tingulshed guests in the Bellevue-Strat
ford on Saturday evening. This Is a de
tail that will be worked out later
Sunday will be spent I'm sightseeing. in
attendance at some of Phila adelphla''

DISTRICT REFORMS BALKED.
Secular League Told that especial
Interests" Control.

At the regular weekly meeting at Pyth-
ian Temple yesterday afternoon the
Washington Secular League was ad-
dressed by William d. Mackenzie on
'"rhe general welfare and the special in
terests." and following the address the
subject was discussed briefly by other
speakers.
Mr.. Mackenzie held that both locally
and nationally the general welfare is
being subordinated to special interests in
the conduct of public affairs. As ex-
amples of local legislation for the general
welfare which cannot be had because II
conflicts with special interests. the speaker
cited the ttrue consideration real estate
biIl, the George bin for the taxation Of
land at its real value, the Berger bill
limiting the hours Of work for women
employees, and the La Toilette and Old
field public utilities measures. The Gal
linger utilities bill vas pronounced a
measure more satisfactory to the spe-
cIal interests affected by such legisla-
ZION.

TREATY REVISION
MADE NECESSARY
Franco German Agreement Over
Morocco Means Change in Re-
lations with United States.

The ratification OF the Franco-German
agreement by the French Senate Satur-
day will result in a revision Of the treaty
relations of the United States with Mo
rocco. 1t is believed.
France has already announced her in
tention OF establishing a protectorate
over Morocco, and her statesmen are
reported at work drawing up plans for
the framework of the new order of
things. The establishment Of a protec-
torate will make many changes in Mo-
rocco, necessitating a general readjust-
ment all around
While this government is in no way
a party to the Moroccan agreement be-
tween France and Germany, it will in
sist that the way be left clear for the
advancement OF American trade in
terests in Morocco. The United States
will demand the continuation of the pol
icy of equal opportunity TO all nations
in regard to trade in Morocco.
France. by virtue of the protectorate,
is to act as the representative of Mo-
rocco in all her foreign intercourse.
Though the new treaty which the United
States will negotiate will be with No
rocco, the negotiations will be carried on
with diplomatic representatives of
France.
One Of the most important changes
brought about by the creation of a
French protectorate will be the estab-
lIshment of the French judicial code in
Morocco. This will. 1t is expected, result
in the abolition OF the extra-territorial
consular courts, through which the laws
of the United States are invoked in cases
involving American citizens in Morocco
The elimination of the consular courts
will not be regretted by the State De-
partment, as they have always been SUBJ
ject to the disadvantages of a make
shift ARRANGEMENT

RECOVERY SIGNS
SEEN In MARKET
Although stationary During the
Week. the General Tendency
Was to Advance.

New York. -Feb. iL-During the last
week the stock market was almost sta
tionary. but there were signs OF recovery
from the semi-hysteria Of the week be-
fore and. on the whole, even despite the
weakness last Saturday. whatever ten
dency there was In prices was TO advance.
This might have been caused logically
although the present Is a time when logic
does not seem TO play a great part IN
market movements-by the discovery that
railroad earnings as they were being
daily submitted did not at all bear out
the statements Of spectators for the fan
that business over the country was de-
clining. II was evident that while depres-
sion was stlll in progress over conSid-
cradle portion OF the West its weight
was being lifted in the East. and. IN the
main, the general observation holds true
that railway earnings are increasing In
the East. even IL they are stiil diminish
ing In the West. But this general state
ment has to be qualified by the remark
that the ratio Of diminution In the West
is smaller than Il has been heretofore
Reductions Seem Absurd.
The upshot Of it is that talk about a
reduction OF the New York Central and
Baltimore and Ohio dividends, not to
speak Of those OF other railway COM
panies. which filled Wall street last year.
now seem to be absurd, and the prophecy
may be made that II will not be long be-
fore the current speculative rumors OF a
possible decrease in the Union Pacific
dividend will be placed In similar light.
Cotton Rise Speculative.
The rise In cotton futures, which began
a fortnight since and was in progress
throughout last week. was no doubt OF
speculative sort. but. as in the case OF
copper, It rested primarily upon the oper-
alton Of conditions OF supply and demand
which seem to be appreciated by foreign
ers more than by our own people. Cotton
at the price which prevailed for a Ions
time recently was down to or very near
the cost OF production, and buying Of the
commodity was in due course stimulated
just as Il always is in any commodity by
the reasoning that when the article Is
selling at a level which leaves no profi,
in Il for the producer Its price Is about
as low as can be expected.
II Is probable that the crop OF American
cotton raised last season was more than
sufficient for the worlds needs OF con-
sumption in the present year. But stock
ing up with the article or with contracts
for the delivery of supplies beyond a
year has, nevertheless. put in an appear
ance on so large a scale-even II chiefly
coming from European spinners-as I,
compel an advance In cotton. The export
movement Of the article Is now going on
at a tremendous rate and may soon be
expected TO exhibit IN force In the coun.
try's foreign trade balance.

PAINLESS DEATH In
PLACE OF HANGING

Baltimore, Feb. 1l.-That death by the
administration of chloroform would be an
excellent substitute for hanging in the
punishment OF persons convicted OF muir
der was the suggestion made by Warden
Weyler, OF Baltimore, to the committee
OF the Maryland legislators who inspected
the penitentiary.
Warden Weyler opposed the infiction OF
the death penalty in any form. and ad-
vanced the chloroform idea as probably
the most painless method of capital pun
ishment. He suggested that the punish
ment could be inflicted in the cell OF the
condemned man with none OF the spec
tacular features usually surrounding
executions.
The idea seemed to impress individual
members OF the committee forcibly.
There is now before the legislature a bill
to do away with hanging and to sub
stitute electrocution. The bill provides.
however, that the place OF execution shall
be in the penitentiary instead OF at the
city jail, and against this Warden weyler
advanced urgent reasons.
