THINKS MOROCCO COSTLY
M. Pichon Criticises Treaty in
French Senate.

Paris Feb S.-M. Pichon. cX-Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, during a discussion of the
Franco-German agreement I'm the Senate
to-day delivered a trenchant criticism OF
the treaty, the ratification OF which he
declared he would not support lie de-
scribed II as bad bargain for France,
which, In exchange for the gravest sacfi-
fees. had obtained Morocco. but so heavily
Inortgaged as to be OF little use. He took
the gloomiest view OF the future, and
feared that the protectorate in Morocco
would prove much more costly In men ana
money than calculated OH at present.
The change In the Moroccan policy, con-
tinued NJ. Pichon. is subjcctinS the exist
Ing relations between the great powers to
a severe strain. He was sure that Premier
Poincaire's great aim was the preserya-
tion of peace: he had the fullest conf
dence in him, but feared that the problems
arising out OF recent events would prove
an excessively heavy burden for the coun-
try. whose strength would be diminished
by the dissemination OF It's forces In
Africa.
The first duty OF the nation, said the ex-
Foreign Minister was to strengthen I'm
every way It's alliances and fricnd. hips,
for he added I'VE are far from being
safe from tempcsts. We must take heed
~ disouietIng rumors which reach us and
keep ND our military strength. supporting,

at the mercy of every wind.

Peking, Feb. S-A new and striking view
OF the situation is now taken II is be-
Iievcd in many quarters that Premier
Yuan Shih-kai will possibly succeed in
saving the throne, after all The Peklng
papers no longer mention abdication or
discuss the thrones retirement from the
government. Certainly Yuan Shih-kai does
not intend TO proceed with aDdIcation un-
less competed to do so.
The opinion is held here that the rebels
do not possess the power to force the Pre-
mer to act. The republicans readiness to
agree TO a permanent armistice and also
their willingness to grant to the court lib
cral concessions inspires the belief that
they themselves recognize their inability TO
capture Peking

Cheaper Cotton Goods.

Lowering the tariff on manufac
tured cotton goods will be a boor
to all the people OF this country,
and it will not injure the cotton
manufacturing interests to any ex.
tent, because-and especially in
the SOuth-some of these mills
have made a profit of 100 per cent.
and they can be satisfied with
much less. The Mississippi cotton
planter, who receives Is cents pei
pound pound for his staple, feels
that he is doing a satisfactory bus.
mess. But sometimes a pound ot
cotton is carried to New England,
woven into lace, given a French
stamp and returned to the con.
sumner and sold at the rate of $35
per pound. The middlemah re.
ceives entirely too much for ma
nipuiating the raw material, and
he connot object to a decrease in
the tariff. .-Scimitar.

A great miration is being made
over the fact that Roosevelt gave
little encouragement to the ne
grOes of the South, while attempt
ing to conciliate those of the North.
The worst face possible is being
placed upon the incident by the
supporters of President Taft. But
as political movement it's wis
dom cannot be questioned. The
Southern negres, while very num-
erous, cannot name an elector, and
in a national contest their votes
amount to nothing. Whatever
vital support Roosevelt may ex.
pect from the South must come
from white men, and these are not
likely to be favorable to the re.en-
trance Of the negro into politics.
In a good many Northern states
the negro holds the balance of
power, and his vote means some
thing. Mr.. Roosevelt and his
counselors knew what they were

Speaking of the Panama Canal,
Senator John Sharp Williams says;
cit has been a splendid engineer

its Importance reaches, like the
