British Delegate Mores to Take Up Police
Question.
CRUCIAL ISSUE NOW BEFORE CONFERENCE
Austria nnd Mnrorm Vote In the

ing; of Optimism nn
1 Prevail.
AI'"tuKA' Muren a.-tne cnieieii--
on Moroccan reforms took a most Im
porta nt step today by deciding on the Ini
tiative of Great lirltaln to proceed to the
Immediate discussion of the police ques
tion. After Sir Arthur Nicholson, chief
of the British delegation, had submitted
this proposition. Marquis Vlscontl Venosta,
head of the Italian mission, actively sec
onded It, eloquently appealing for con
ciliation and asking for the abandonment
of the absolute nnd unbending standpoints
taken by France and Oermany. His words
were listened to with deference.
The voting showed that Germany had
with It Austria and Morocco, while eight
representatives of powers supported Blr
Arthur Nicholson. Belgium and Sweden
announced that they would abide by the
decision of the majority. One of the dele
gates then proposed that the pollen ques
tion lie referred to a special committee
which should prepare a project and submit
It to the conference, but this proposition re
ceived a negative vote.
Derisive Issue Raised.
The result of the vote on Sir Arthur
Nicholson's proposal has caused something
of a sensation, as It means' that the deli
cate Franco-Herman contest over the po
licing of Morocco has been forced to a
decisive Issue In which both sides will be
compelled to show their hands. Moreover,
the vote gave the first indication of the
strength of the two sides. While this
was not decisive, as the question was aot
upon the merits of the police question, yet
It disclosed that Austria and Morocco were
the only countries voting with Germany.
It Is understood that France will not
present police projects to the conference
and that, therefore. It will be consulted
simply on the question . of principle In
volved. It is expected that the discussion
of the question of police will be begun
Monday.
Emperor William' A Geared I'lun.
Concerning a dispatch to a Ixmdon news
paper from Washington In effect that Km
peror William contemplated a dramatic,
stroke by announcing to the world that
France and Germany had agreed, the dele
gates declare that they do not possess
Information warranting such a statement.
However, many of them admit that the
character of the German emperor makes
such a step possible. Herr von Kadowitz,
head of the German delegation, while de
nying Jhe statement, expressed a hopeful
View of a settlement of the controversy.
Count Cassini, the chief Russian plenipo
tentiary, says that he pins his faith on the
events of the Inst hour, when both sides
are face to fuce with -the tremendous re
sponsibility, of the failure of the confer
ence. On the whole the trend of o;lnon
among the delegates Is that the chances for
optimism are growing.

WASHINGTON. March :l. -Conferences
on the Hepburn railroad rule bill are every
day becoming more numerous and more
confusing. Groups of republican senators
advocating an amendment providing for
Judicial review or orders of the Interstate
Commerce commission, groups of repub
lican senators who support the bill ns It
passed the house and was r ported by the
Interstate commerce commit tee of the sen
ate, and groups of democratic senators may
be seen In close consultation almost every
hour of every day, the latter trying to de
termine what their party policy will be.
The most notable of these groups Is the
first mentioned, which has directed its ef
forts toward bringing about an agreement
concerning an amendment that mig'il
prove satisfactory to all of thq republicans, j
The members of this faction are making i
use of the argument that unl-ss ann-nded WASHINGTON. March ;i.-Nu mure wtt
the bill will be declared unconstitutional. n"-rt wl" lw- examined by th- senate cem
It Is an argument used alike to repub- n.lttee on Interoceaie cansls until. afWT
lion and democrats. This faction ro. the type of canal has Wn detei mined and
f esses encouragement. It is said by some
of these senators that an Informal poll
the bill ought to go through In that form.
No amendments have yet been submitted
to them which they are willing to accept.
They will have a conference with the pres
ident on Monday.
It developed today in case the republicans
should be successful In getting together
that It would tend to solidify the democrats
and It is quite likely they would endeavor,
to Secure caucus action favoring the Hep
burn bill without amendment, basing their
action on the unanimous support given the
bill by members of the house. Some of the
democratic senators believe that In case
their party should get together on the bill
as It came from the house that quite a large
number of republican senators would vote
with them. However, the whole matter
relating to the rate bill Is still In the realm
the Philippine tariff bill and that it be
taken up for discussion, t'nder the rules
of the senate a motion of this character is
I debatable. The senator proposes to make
an argument In favor of thu bill and will
ask that action lie taken by the senate
concerning It. He does not Intend, how
ever, to precipitate action until after the
rtatehood hill has been disposed of. The
means suggested provides the only way lu
which the bill may Imj brought before the
senate, In view of the action of the com

them from danger. Some, of the women In
the hotel hastily threw cloaks over their
night robes and descended lo the ground
floor when the alarm was given through
the hotel. The loss on tl)o lumber stock
is about H.oOc
