BERLIN-Tho French note on the
sUhject of the proposed Moroccan con.
ferc.nce was 'handed to the foreign
office Friday morning. Owing to its
great length it had to ho sent by man
to Berlin Instead of by telegraph.
The foreign office , while declining ;
to discuss the I10lnts of the note In
detail , admits that It leaves the situ. -J !
atlon where It wns hefore. The points t ,
of disagreement hetween Germany 1
and France have not he en removed.
It Is expected that the negotiations
will continue a long time he fore a
positive l1eclslon is reached.
Germany's answer to Premier Rou.
vier has not yet been considered. rt
will require consldorable time In or. I
del' to meet all the points raised.
While the delay might , under ordln. \
ary circumstances , be of ad\'antage In

without M. Delcasse.
The newspaDers all emphasize the
fact that the French note leaves the
differences where they were before
regarding their hearIngs upon the projected -
jected Moroccan conference. It Is roe
marked that M. Houvler has just suc.
ceeded In leaving room for an accept.
