PARIS, Aug. 26. Premier Clemenceau, who returned from Carlsbad and Munich today, has assumed active direction cf the Moroccan situation, which developed during his absence. He conferred with Foreign Minister Plchon, War Minister Plcquart and Minister of Marine Thomson, who met htm st the station, and tomorrow will see President Fallleres. The Journal Des Debats. In an editorial as to the effect of M. Clemenceau's re turn on the Moroccan situation, says: "He knows the sentiments of sovereigns and the dispositions of tha chancellors. He ought to know that politics today not only are most uncertain, but also most costly, and that calm and conservatism are essential." Advices received today from Casablanca show no change In the situation. The troops are anxious for a decisive engagement with the tribesmen, but France's determination not to penetrate far Into the country pre vents pursuits of the fanatics and results In a waiting game. Meantime the state of Morocco's Internal affairs Is growing worse. Veritable chaos reigns and the government has degenerated Into a mere mock adminis tration. Mulal Haflg. the newly proclaimed sultan, who is reported to be marching toward the coast to flgl.t the French' and Spanish troops, has appointed a ministry, a member of which is Muld Sldl Mohammed, another brother of the actual sultan, who is now held a prisoner by the sultan at Fes. Ralsull controls his own region and the pretender rules northeast Morocco. The sultan Is not sure of his own followers and anarchy pervades the empire. The littoral towns are tranquil because of the presence of foreign warships, but Rabat Is reported to be constantly menaced by. tribesmen who are ready to swoop down upon It at the first opportunity. .

Tha report that the French cruiser Du Chayla has captured a German Vessol flaunting the Spanish flag and loaded wjjh contraband goods was an error.

The newspapers have agreed that there Is a difference of views In the cabinet as to the Spanish government's attitude In Morocco. While certain ministers endorse tha course that Is being pursued, others. It is alleged, claim that the role created by the Algeclras con ference differs from that actually being played by Spain. According to the liberal premier, Maura announced to Die members of the cabinet that Spain would take the offensive only If Its troops were directly attacked and that otherwise It would rest merely as a spectator qf the Internal con flicts that are rending' Morocco, and of what France does if the troops of tha country advance Jnto tha, interior.

HEARING ON ME OIL RATE Railway Commission Fat in a Say Listening to Parties in Interest TRAVELING MEN MAKE A PROTEST Aadltor ts Standing Pat on the Qaeatloa of Filing of Voocnere by the I'nlverslty Regents. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Aug. 2B.-fflpec!al.)-The State Railway commission has been listening all day to testimony and argument In the case wherein the Marshall Oil company, the National Refining company and the National Petroleum company are asking for an order reducing rates on oil. It Is the contention of these people that oil rates In Nebraska are In excess of the rates on oil in other states, and Inasmuch as the Standard Oil company has tank lines out In the state It cannot compete with it and therefore there Is little competition In oil In Nebraska. On the other hand the rail road attorneys assert a comparison of rates in Nebraska with other states is not proper because different conditions exist; that the rates of Kansas and Iowa cannot be taken as a basis because they were not made voluntarily by the railroads, but were made In Kansas by the legislature and in Iowa by a railroad commission, and the railroads were forced to put them Into effect. Both sides admitted It was Impossible to tell when rates on a single commodity were Just because the cost of hauling a single com modity could not be figured, so therefore a rate on a commodity was a guess and the representatives of the independent oil com panlea argued tha guess was usually plenty high. The representative of the Marshall Oil company. Attorney Lockwood, claimed to reduce the oil rata would reduce the price of oil to consumers. On Cross-examination It was. brought out oil would be about 1 to IH cents a gallon cheaper, though it was not proven tha consumer would get the benefit. The railroads charged the Mar shall Oil company merely wanted a low rate so as to build up a large central dis tributive station in Lincoln and thus shut out all of the smaller distributive stations out In the state. Lockwood admitted he only wanted the rate In and out of Lincoln. It was brought out by the railroads that tha rate to Chadron from Peoria is M cents for 100 pounds of oil; from Peoria to Lincoln it is 27 cents; from Lincoln to Chadron it is 67 cents, making the 'com bination of rates M cents, or S cents more than the through rate. To put In the rate asked for the railroads said would reduce the rate from Lincoln to Chadron to cents, making the combination rate 43 cenU from Peoria. This would give an advan- tage to tha Marshall Oil company of 26 cents. Attorney Lockwood represented the Mar shall OH company; C. P. Chamberlain of Cleveland, the associated Independent com panies. The following railroad men were here: C. C. Wright, attorney, and Bob McGlnnls, general agent, of the North western; James Kelby. attorney, and C. El Spens of the Burlington; Charles Clapp, attorney, and Charles Lane of the Union Pacific; W. H. Orr of the Atchison fof the Missouri Pacific; J. L. Kennedy of Sioux City for the Great Northern. C D. Bolts, a witness for the oil com panics, testified that It waa possible to tell the cost of shipping one commodity and further that not only oil rates were too high In Nebraska, but all other rates, He had been rate clerk for years and Is now the traffic manager ef the Independent oil .Companies. Fight la Hanging; Fire. The fight between the secretary of state and the university regents is Just hanging fire and it will be up to the regents to either appeal to the supreme court or for them to file their vouchers with the state auditor before the employes get any money. Incidentally, the refussl of the regents to file their vouchers In the office of the stato auditor is of comparatively recont date, the State Journal, official apologist for the regents, to the contrary notwithstanding. Secretary of State Junkln today inspected a number of vouchers filed by the regents prior to 1897. These con talned not only the certificate as filed now,' but in .addition the claim filed by the claimant, and Indorsed by the secretary of atate and the state audltur. These claims were not sworn to, but were signed by tha claimants. When Tom Benton waa auditor the regents objected to filing vouch ers and he compelled the claimants to sign the claims tn his presence in his office be fore he Issued the warrants. The vouchers then used by the regents were the same as those filed by the heads of other state Institutions and were audited Just the same. In 1897 the legislature changed the law relating to vouchers and setting out a form providing claims shall be sworn, to. This did not Include the university vouchers. The supreme court prior to this hsd practically knocked out the law per mitting the regents to draw money on certificates when it refused to mandamus the auditor to compel him to draw a war rant to pay a claim made by a resident ot Germsny which had not been properly vouchered. In 1897 the present statute was enacted, providing the auditor shall Issue his warrants upon certificates filed by the regents. An agent of the regents has in formed the auditor that certificates " are Issued prior to the signing of vouchers. Auditor Bearle, who Is out In the state, has telephoned to Deputy Cook to stsnd pat and not Issue any warrants nor touch the flies. The publication of this controversy be tween the auditor and regents may result In correcting some evils around the auditor's office In which the regents are not concerned. State officers have drawn their pay frcm the auditor In advance. Incidents of this kind are few and far between, but recently one officer secured his monthly salary a few days after he went to work, swearfng he had earned the money. Batter eta Tto Advice. Dan Butler, city clerk of Omaha, was here today to aee Attorney General Thomp son. Mr. Butler wanted an opinion regard ing the right of the voters of Omaha to nominate candidates for the Board of Edu cation at a primary and whether he could go ahead and print the ballots, as there Is a seeming discrepancy In the primary law. The attorney general said Inasmuch as the question was purely a local one ha would not give out en opinion. The same oues- Itlon applies to Lincoln, but as the force in the city clerk's office is out campaigning It was impossible to find anyone around there late this afternoon who knew what la going to be dona here. x Dramm.r. Will Protest. Tha new order of the Union Pacific rail road prohibiting holders of l-cent-a-mlla tickets from riding on their fast trains in Nebraska except for Interstate distances has caused, a strong protest to coma from tha trawling man. Today a complaint was lodged with tha Nebraska Railway com mission about the order, the leading com plainant being L. P. Sine of Lincoln, rep resenting the Carpenter Paper company of Omaha. He, with ten others of tha com mercial travelers, are determined to test the order on tha theory that a common carrier may not -designate who shall ride on Its trains. Leta Retailers Oat.

IKHMO.I PREACHED TO 1XDIAMS Interesting; ' Service Held at Their Convocation. VALENTINE, Neb.. Aug. . (Special.) Sunday wss a great day at the Chris tian Indian convocation of tha Episcopal church of the diocese of South Dakot and one long to be remembered by the Indians as well as the whites.

Bishop Coadjutor Frederick Foots Johnson, D. P., delivered the sermon at this service. He took Ms text from the gospel according to St. John, xv:14, "Ye are my friends. If ye' do whatsoever I command you." It was a masterful address,' given eloquently, but plainly, so that all the Indians might understand. He cautioned them to be honest and upright In all their dealings; to be true to their fellowmen and to their God, and, even though the whlta man may resort to tricks and schemes to cheat the red man, not to hold a bit ter feeling against the white man, but rather one of pity, for the- white man in reality is the loser, not the Indian. He spoke of baptism 'as the essential thing towards salvation. It was an Im pressive sight to see the hundreds of Indians advance and receive holy bread and wine. ' At 2 o'clock this afternoon a mass meet ing of the babies' branch was held in the pavilion. At 2:30 a general assembly was held and at 3 o'clock a confirmation service was held by Bishops Hare and Johnson, assisted by some of tho priests. At 3:30 the woman's .meeting was con tinued. A service In English was to have been held at 6 o'clock, but Just at that time a terrific thunder and windstorm came up, which grew in proportions, so that communication was cut oft and It Is feared considerable damage was done. The service this morning was aald partly in Dakota and partly In English. This evening at T o'clock a baptism was held In the stone chapel.

Even though the track over which you send your voice is merely a fine copper wire, the amount of property which is devoted to your sole use during your talk is considerable. In a paper read before the Insurance Society of New York, Mr. C. J. II. Woodbury said, "When a per son uses a long distance telephone a large amount of property is at his exclusive service. For instance, in speaking from Boston to Omaha, as one business firm does every morning, the value of the frac tion of line and apparatus at their sole dis posal is, at the present price of copper, over $283,000, while it requires the sevice of nine operators at the switchboards at various points along the line. The weight of this copper is one million, one hundred and thirty-one pounds, or five hundred and sixty-five and one-half tons. In its field the Nebraska Telephone Company is rapidly laying these talk tracks in every direction to the doors of homes and business houses. The other Bell Companies are doing the same and as a result can give you a clear right-of way throughout the country.

SUCCESS vs FAILURE A chronological review of a typical in dependent telephone enterprise is given by the Rochester Times from which the fol lowing significant items are taken: 1905, October 9 United States Independ- ' ent Telephone Company officially launch ed, authorized capita $50,000,000. ; 1905, December 11 U. S. I. "securities", listed on stock exchange, start selling at 80 for bonds and 50V2 for stock. 1906, Summer U. S. I. T. Company failed to sell sufficient bonds and got into financial difficulties in spite of unusu ally heavy contracts. 1906, October Company borrowed $2,500,- 000 at about 16 per cent. Negotiations originated by George Eastman to sell . U. S. L'T. Company to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. 1907, January 28 Bell offer formally ad vertised without names of purchasers, who were denied being Bell men or in-: terests. U. S. I. bonds and stocks turned into Security Trust Company on the Bell offer. ' 1907, February 27 Attorney-General Jackson checked merger by injunction served on Security Trust Company and U. S. I. officials. 1907, March 7 Attorney-General Jackson took evidence in Albany on alleged ille gal combination in restraint of "trade; secured contracts between the Bell . agents and U. S. I. men. 4 1907, March 18 Attorney-General Jack son concluded hearing in New York be fore Referee Joseph1 A. Law son. 1907, April 1 U. S. I. Company defaulted on bond interest.
