GILLETT THEJIHOICE Elected Mayor of Nelson Yesterday by Decisive - Majority Citizens' Party Carries Four Other Seats at tbe Council Board-Aid. Annable Vindicated by the West Want William G. Gillett was elected mayor of Nelson yesterday after a hotly contested campaign, by a majority of 30. Four out of six seats at the council 'board were captured iby tbe candidates if of the citizens' party, wfco will have •therefore five votes out of seven In the council, exactly reversing (he position at the close of the polls a year ago. With the exception of alderman-elect (tl Hume every member of the council of ,W1906 has been there before within >the last five years, three of them within the last year. In the west ward the aldermen elect- $ ed are J. Fred Hume, Harold Selous [i and J. 15. Annable. Mr. Hume, while | -j ihe is a new member of the city coun- [^ oil, has had experience In other legls- T. lativc and executive bodies, including the cabinet of British Columbia. Harold Selous Is now an alderman of ,, Nelson for the fifth time. His election % h gratifying to all who have a genuine % Interest in the city and desire to see i its affairs economically and. efficiently \ administered. , ' r. M The election of J. E. Annable Is a demonstration by the electors of the west ward of their approval of his t-manly and independent course in tbe couuoll of 1905, and his courageous I'll stand against the perpetuation of tbe ni Bpolls system in Nelson's civic politics. M In the east ward three experienced aJand useful members are returned, ex- malyor Itose, and exaldermen Irving !|,and Klrkpatrlck. The new candidates. Messrs. Ebbs and Hale ran well, but the electors evidently preferred tried Sand known men. W. W. Beer would undoubtedly have made a valued mem- 1'ber of the council, but he refused to solicit! votes and expressed relief and satisfaction at the result of the poll. The day was devolu of incident. Both , parties were well organized and got out | a fairly full party vote. The Malone i committee recognized earlyVln the af- i ternoon that their cause was already | lost in the west ward, and devoted their efforts almost entirely to the east ward with considerable effect. The total vote polled Is considerably less than that of last year which makes comparisons of results difficult. Last year 1015 votes \^re recorded for mayor, 390 ln the west ward and 625 in the east. Yesterday the figures were 349 iln the west ward and 531 in the east, a reduction of 41 iu the west and 94 in the east. The reduction -was probably caused by tbe late amenmnents to the Municipal ClauseB Act, which practically disfranchised certain class- The number of spo.n.if and blank ballots was only five yesterday as against ten last year, in the- east ward three ballots marked for Aid. Gillett had to be rejected because the voters had initialled the 'ballots. As the hour for the closing of the polls drew near the confidence of the Malone backers began to subside. They declined bets even when odds were offered. They still protested that they had hopes of winning by a small majority. Few votes were protested. All protests were directed against those suspected of being aliens. The total number of voters wfto went to the polls was nearly 900. At about 7.45 the count of the 'ballots for mayor in the west ward was finished, and showed a lead of 31 for W. G. Gillett, being less than his committee, expected, but none the less satisfactory. The news was received on silence by the Malone committee, who still kept their colors flying but inwardly conceded Gillett's election. About half an hour later the result of tbe east ward was known, reducing the majority by one. It was then recognized tby both parties that the west ward would proba/bly elect Uie three candidates of the citizens' party, and that the east ward would probably be divided. -It was nearly 9.30 when the final results were officially declared by returning officer Wasson aa follows: FOR MAYOR West.

Talgny by Venezuela Is bitterly Resented In Paris-Venezuelan Minister Deported from France Paris, Jan. 18.—Official confirmation of Venezuela's acrimonious treatment of M. Talgny, the retiring French charge d'affaires at Caracas, has reach-J ed the foreign office. The government Immediately decided to adopt the most energetic measures to obtain satisfaction. It Is understood that a naval demonstration is under preparation, the division of French warships recently assem'bled in the vicinity, of Venezuelan waters being utilized for that purpose. A diplomat said today that president Castro's action amounted to an aot of hostility. Such an act could not remain unchastlsed and France, the diplomat said, will have the support of 'the whole world In demanding and obtaining proper satisfaction, even should armed intervention prove necessary. The cable companies officials received confirmation today of the reports that their- managers at Caracas and Ln Guayra have been expelled from Venezuela. The company has about ten Other managers in charge of different offices in Venezuela and momentarily expects to hear that they too have been expelled, The officials of the company have brought the matter before the government. <■ M. Mauhouguret, the charge d'affaires of Venezuela here, this afternoon received the official announcement of his expulsion from French territory. Tho notification was handed him by M. Gourt, tho chief secretary of premier Rouvler, and a special commissary of police. The charge d'affaires showed considerable emotion, bnt accepted the government's decision. He will leave Paris tonight for Liege, Belgium, accompanied -by the special commissary of police, who Is responsible for his security to the frontier. The action of the French government with reference to Venezuela has not yet been decided. M. Rouvler Is calling the cabinet council together to consider the steps to be taken. In ministerial circles it is believed that the incident of M. Taigny's expulsion loses some of its character of gravity, as official notification was given to president Castro a few days before by the United States minister Mr. Russell, that djlpjlom'atic relations (between France and Venezuela had ceased to exist. A telegram from L'Onent, the French war port in Brittany, announces that the cruisers Jean Bart and Chasseloup Laubat are preparing to join the French division cruising in the vicinity of Venezuelan waters. Caracas, Jan. 17.—Via Port of Spain, Trinidad. Jan. 18.—The Constitutional In publishing the correspondence preceding the diplomatic rupture between Venezula and France calims to prove complicity of the French government in the Mateos revolution. The paper says: "We do not accuse the Cable company, whose responsibility we consider to be eliminated. We accuse the French government of disloyalty to Venezuela, because while our representatives and ministers were sincerely nnd honestly seeking legal solutions of the difficulties in the line of international reciprocity, France operated with Mateos, the leader of the revolution, to stain our cities with bloodshed and ordered the manager of the Cable company to transmit Information to the revolutionaries, assisted In 'bankrupting the credit of the government abroad and endangering the integrity of the national territory.' A decree expelling from Venezuela M. Jaccoux and E. M. Bourget, respectively the managers the French cable stations at Caracas and La Guayra, for disregarding the laws of the republic, was published yesterday, Parle, Jan. 18.—11.05 p.m.—The government issued a note late tonight stating that. M. Talgny, who went on board tho French steamer Martlnque at La Guayra, to get Instructions which were sent in charge ot a French postal agent, owing to the seizure of the cable office, was prevented from returning to tho shore on the pretext that he was not provided with a sanitary certificate as required by the Venezuelan regulations. The Instructions sent by the Martinique ordered M. Talgny to leave Venezuela, for which purpose the second class cruiser Jullen de la Graviere was at the time on its way to U Guayra, The note says: Although diplomatic relations have already been suspended.for several days dlmplomatlc immunity covered the case of M. Talgny until he had left Venezuelan waters. By boarding a merchantman in Venezuelan waters he could not be considered as having left the territory of the country, where his position as a diplomatic representative should have protected him from all vex atious measures. It ts for this reason that the French government In handing his passports to the Venezuelan charge d'affaires ln France, M. Maubourguet, has been led to take,'measures to conduct himself immediately to the frontier." CZAR FEARS HIS PEOPLE Will Not Come to Capital For the Epiphany Festival. St. Petersburg, Jan. 18.—The .first national convention organization iby a political party in the history of Russia, that of the constitutional ( democrats, opened today, 250 delegates representing Ot) provinces being present. The convention took up the discussion of the party's attitude toward the election to the national assembly. The convention is expected to last three days. Distrustful of Uie spirit of his capital and perhaps remembering the incident of last January when one of tbe saluting guns showered grape shot on the imperial family, the emperor will not come to, St Petersburg for tho ceremony of the "Blessing of the waters of the Neva" tomorrow. For the first time since the empress Anna laid the foundation of the winter palace In 1732 tbe great church festival of Epiphany will pass, without the presence of the sovereign in his red walled winter residence and without his participation as the head of the church in the consecration of the Neva's flood of fruitfulness and prosperity.

BIRMINGHAM UNDAUNTED Amid Total Collapse of Unionists Chamberlain is Confident Balfour Concedes Liberals a Life of Five Years-Eleven Member; of His Govern* ment Defeated at the Polls London, Jan. 18.—Rural England is now being polled and is returning liberals to parliament with the same enthusiasm as that already displayed hy the towns. Few additional returns are available as the county pollings are only known the day following the balloting, but those announced show persistent liberal and labor gains. Glasgow has gone strongly liberal, the seven contests there being marked by four liberal and one labor gain, while tho only two unionists left ou the representation are free traders. Among the well known members of parliament unseated are A. B. Law, unionist, representing Blackfriars district, London, who was parliamentary secretary to the board of trade in 1902, and sir J. Stirling Maxwell, conservative, representing Glasgow university. John Morley, secretary of state for India, was returned by a good majority for Montrose. Cambridge university returned two unionist tariff reformers, S. H. Butcher and Mr. Rawlinsou. Lancashire county seems to bo going as strongly liberal as did Manchester, the three results already announced there recording two liberals and one labor- Ite gain. Among those unseated in Lancashire are. lord Stanley, former postmaster general, by the laborlte \V. T. Wilson, with a majority of 3128, and C. A. Cripps by H. Nuttall, liberal, and freo trader, with a majority of 2824. No less than six n.^woeis of the Balfour ministry havo boon unseated, namely, William St. John Broderlck, secretary of state for India; A. Boner Law, Ernest George Prettyrxian, secretary to the admiralty; lord Stanley, postmaster general C. Scott, Dickson, solicitor general for Scotland, and Ail- wyn Fellowes, president of the board of agriculture. Henry Chaplin, who was president of the local government board in the Salisbury ministry, also is among the defeated, who now include eleven members of the late cabinet. The defeat of A. Bonar. Law will be a serious loss to the tariff reformers, as he has been looked upon ns one of the ablest advocates of Mr. Chamberlain's policy. Since the elections opened the unionists have only gained throe seats while the ministerialists have gained 132 seats. The seats up to the present are distributed as follows: Liberals, 202: unionists, 87; laborltes, 35; nationalists 60. Mr. Chamberlain is evidently undaunted. Speaking at Smethwlck, near Birmingham tonight, lie asseverated that there had beeu a fair fight at Birmingham on the question of flscal reform. Ho added that there wore two remedies for the existing social problems—socialism and tariff reform, For the'moment, he said, the country preferred socialism but when the quack remedies of the present government had failed there would be opportunity for his hobby and "No obstruction could prevent its taking root. Mr. Balfour and sir Henry Campboll- Banncrnian arrived on the same train at Inverness today to fulfill political engagements. The enormous crowd gathered on the platform prevented u meeting between tlio distinguished leaders, each of whom wns greeted with it hurricane of cheers. Mr. Balfour addressed, a meeting on behalf of sir Robert Finlay, the union 1st candidate for Inverness burghs, predicted for tho new government :i happy existence for the next five years Sir Henry Campbell-Banner man, speaking at a liberal meeting, charae- iarJaed UH. Balfour's statement that there was some sort of compact between the liberal government and John Redmdnd the nationalist leader as nothing short of scandal. He said there was no foundation for such an allegation and declared that there was no mystery whatever about tho relations of the liberals and the nationalists. Anions tl"* now members are Dr. S. T. Brooke, a former Unitarian minister ol Bostonr who captured the How and Bromley division of tho Tower Hamlots tor tho liberals. James Koir Hurdle, soulnllBt and Independent Inbor party, is among those reelected today, li loons now ns though the laborltes, Including minor candidates, will havo a representation of fifty tu sixty in the new parliament. The Dully Mall In an editorial on tne rovolutfon on tho polltloul Held says: When the survivors ot the unionist wrack reassemble in the house of commons, they will look upon n scene nevor hitherto wlini'.ist'd in thai august assembly. They will find the "first club in Itfn- orpo" gono and wo hope bsuso quenco the first business House in bin rope win uvo taken its place. Among other clmiws lln- Dully Alml notes: "The great reduction or tho power of railroad magnates and similar interests, which hitherto have boon over-rop- resented, nnd the decline of the lustre 0) the magic lettora 'M, P.' after the names on the prospectuses of company promoters." Tho Morning Post says: "Birmingham hns begun the work of roeonHinietlnn, Joseph Chumbarlfcln ha* proved beyond question that the British people demand from everyone who submits Wmself to their choice a definite expression of convictions and not u theoretical view of tlie advantages uf two-mi tided ness." Archibald Cameron Corbett, unionist free trader, has been elected for me Tmdoaton division of Glasgow, defeating D. W. Mason, the, liberal candidate. Mr. Corbottj It will be remembered, wrote to the Times on December 3D, culling the attention of Ml', Reldj tne American amOaa- asdor and of premier Canipbell-Banner- mun to the alleged unconstitutional action of his opponent, who, lie charged. In addressing bis constituents said he htm had a friendly talk with president Koose- veit In which Mr, Roosevelt unguardedly expressed his happy sympathy with the liberal party In Great Britain. Thomas Gibson 'Bowles, tlie unionist free trader who "wis defeated at Kings Lynn, In Norfolk county, by a tariff reformer, makes a sensation by the pulili- patlon of correspondence with Sir Alexander Fuller Aclnnd-Hood, the eiiiet conservative Whip, In this correspondence, whkh is published tonight, Mr. Bowles accuses the unionist party of sacrificing his seat ut the dictum of Joseph Chamberlain simply because he is a unionist free trader, in it aro scathing letters to Sir Alexander containing thinly-veiled personal insults, accusing him of deliberate breach of faith and politically dishonorable conduct. , Continuing, .Mr. Bowles attacks tho source from whicli the conservative party fund was berlved, and gives data regarding ihe Incident of some years ugo when Krnesl Tcrah Kooley (of unhappy memory) contributed Sso.ooo to the party fund ••under circumstances most discreditable. ' This contribution, Mr. Bowles says, was refused and was returned by Lord Halls- bury nt his instance. Mr. Howies, insinuating that his successful opponent received support from the party fund, says: "From such fund I siiold deem Ii shameful to receive assistance." Sir Alexander in replying says that Mr. Howies was discredited by the organization because of his attacks on Mr. t'ai- four and Mi. Chnmlmrhilh, but he denies thai II, Rurgoyne, the successful candidate al Kings Lynn, received any support from the fund. Mr. Howies under today's date replies to air Alexander, who. h>' says, evades every point raised, but he accepts the statement that Mr. Burgoyne's candidacy was not supported by tlie conservative fund. He says lie understands from a rumor which It would bo worth Sir Alexander's lime to rectify, the statement that tho fund was recently contributed to lu immense sums by the recipients of dignities ami favors which could only have been bestowed by premier llalfour. In conclusion, Mr. Bowles says: "ion have sacrificed my seat, now look to your own." This correspondence will be used Willi tremendous force by tho liberal press. GENERAL SLOCUM DISASTER.

It had been confidently anticipated tbat after the lightweight skirmishes of John Oliver's heavy artillery would today be brought luto play, and Bowser was preparing to unmask his own batteries ln reply. Bowser, however, counted without his host for he knew not of the liberal caucus held this morning. At that caucus it was decided to alter entirely (the plan uf cnmpaugii and to suddenly drop the debate at the conclusion of Well's forthcoming speech. As the policy of the opposition had already been clearly outlined by Macdonald, the leader, and by Muuro, Brown, Evans, Tanner, McNiven, Hall, Murphy, nnd Wells and as It was evident that tho government was prepared to let the opposition talk as long as it liked without offering any serious defence, further prolongation of tho debate waa deemed unwise. Hence it was decided tbat Oliver's proposed contribution should be eliminated. The government, however, was not taken into the confidence of tho caucus and so Bowser, who was aching to display his oratorical powers as a rebuke to the attorney general's laudation of Hawthornth- waite's eloquence, was caught off his guard. Wells (Palliser) made a pleasant and somewhat witty address, concluded the case for the opposition at 2.45 o'clock. A short silence followed and In the interval which elapsed before the division bell rang all eyes were turned on Oliver. That gentleman, however, waa intensely busy with some papers on his desk apparently just completing a few notes to be used in his speech. Bowser was so confident that Oliver intended to rise that ho let the precious seconds slip by until, before he was aware of what happened the time limit was gone, and be was shut out. A tremendous burst of applause broke forth from tho liberal side of the house, but it did not servo to soften the lines on Bowser's disappointed face. In the meantime, while he was recovering, the motion for an address to his honor waa carried unanimously. After this business was transacted rapidly and ere the house rose at 3.110 It had made material progress with itfl work. Two petitions were read and received: Prom Edgar Dowdney and A. P. Lux- ton, for a bill to incorporate the Uolla Coola and Telkwa Railway company, and from Henry Blitz for a -bill to Incorporate tho B. C. Northern Railway company. The following petitions were presented by Bowser, from the Lightning Creek Gold Gravels &, Drainage Co., for leave to introduce a private bill to amend their corporate act; by Ross, from Thomas Davis and others for leave to introduce a private bill to incorporate tho South East Kootenay Railway company; by Macgowan from D. H. Wilson and others, for leave to introduce a private bill to incorporate the National Plate Glass company. The honorable, the chief commissioner of lands and works, presented a return relative to the acquisition by the Grand Trunk Pacific railway of lands at Kaien island. This return included little material of value. In reply to question asked by Hawthornthwaite, who is after the scalp o£ drawing examiner Blair, Hon. F. J.

DBANE A GOOD COUNCIL Citizens of Nelson have every reason to teel gratified at the result or yesterday's municipal elections. A good council has beeu chosen, one that should do good work during the ensuing year. There were, of course, some disappointments. The Gillett ticket did not carry In its entirety and in the defeat ot W. W. Beer and William Ebbs the city loses the services of two useful men. But John A. Irving and 3. A. Klrkpatrlck are old and well tried aldermen and their knowledge of civic affairs and experience In the work of tho council should prove of material assistance to the new mayor, for, now that tho olection Ib over and the people have decided who shall compose tho council, we feel assured that both alderman Irving and alderman Klrkpatrlck will heartily cooperate with their col- Irragues ln a wide and progressive administration of the city's affairs. Mayor Gillett's victory was well deserved and will be a very popular one, lie fought a clean, manly campaign and despite a good deal of provocation bore himself throughout In a manifer that was altogether praiseworthy. He da a young man and has been very highly honored by the confidence thus Imposed in blm by his fellow cltlsens. We feel sure that William G. Oillatt fully ap preciates the honor done him nnd realizes lhat It is up to him to make good. He will have the opportunity. The power plant must be completed as speedily as possible, with the least possible cost to tho ratepayers. This Is a big undertaking in itself ami will call for all the capacity and energy tbe mayor Is possessed of. But after all the completion of the power plant will simply mark the beginning ot a new era for the olty of Nelson and with it will come tho real opportunity for mayor Gillett to prove that he Is the right man In the right place. The plant will have to he operated In tbe first place, with a view lo relieving the city entirely trom dependence upon the West Kootenay Power & Light company and to reducing the cost of light to the ratepayers, In the second place to make profitable use of Ithe surplus power. Important as it Ib that the city should own and operate Its own electric light plant and that ratepayers should get their light at a lower costs than at present, It Is Imperative If the Investment is to prove a really profitable ono, that the establishment of industries should be encouraged by a cheap power supply. Nelson Is favorably situated to become 'the centre of tho manufacturing interests of tho Kootenays. With tho advantage of cheap power Nelson should attract to its midst factories of various descriptions which would build up the city and provide well paid employment for a constantly increasing number or wage-workers. The possibility of making Nelson a big pay-roll town Is one of the prospects that must appeal to tho civic spirit of the new mayor aud his aldermen.

C. was the excellent vote polled by alderman Annable in the west ward. Alderman Annable last, year had to Incur tho hostility of some of those with whom lie had 'been associated In municipal politics. Together with cx-alderman Macdonald he took a stand for principle that entitled him to the commendation of every right-thinking citizen. This should have served him in good slead in the present election, and it doubtless did with very many of the electors, ibut a dead set was made against him In certain quarters on the score that he had turned his coal The charge was manifestly false In the light of the facts, but charges of this character are frequently hard to overcome and it was feared that his vote would suffer ln consequence. Happily the electors of the west ward took the right view of the case and re-elected him for another term at the council board. Alderman Harold Selous' return to the council should make for Its efficiency. He did good work Jn the past and can be relied upon to watch over the taxpayers' interests faithfully and fearlessly. Dr. W. O. Rose returns to the council as an alderman. His regime as mayor was characterized by careful attention to Uie city's business and in the less exalted office he now occupies he will give similar painstaking attention to all that affects tbe welfare of Nelson. J. Fred Hume Is entering upon his first experience In municipal office, but he has had training In public affairs In tho broader sphere of provincial poll- tics which will serve him ln good stead In the council chamber. Nelson'8 city council for 1906 Is one that wo can all feel proud of and one, too, that will conduct the 'business of the city In such manner as to exercise a unifying rather than a disintegrating influence >tn tho community. The Dally News extends to mayor Qlllett and his aldermen hearty congratulations' and sincere wishes for a successful term. Boscfch Brushes ars masja for servios.

There Is a wealth of comfqrt in a cup of J TEA have a population of eighty millions within the century, snd some young Canadians who hear of that .prediction will live long enough to see whether it Js likely to be fulfllled, says the Toronto News. Its fulfillment would not be stranger than the events in the history of Canada in the eighty-five years of lord Strathcona's busy life. The country in which he spent his early years was then -more remote from, Canada than Australia Is today. If anyone had predicted in 1820 that the little struggling colonies of Upper and, Lower Canada would develop Into a country stretching from the Atlantic to tlie Pacific, and that the supposed frozen wastes of the Northwest would be netted with railways and would be attracting settlers from all parts of the world, his prediction would have semed quite as sanguine as Lord Strathcona's expectation of eighty millions. RAIDING- A ROOKERY Japanese Pirate Schooner Driven Off By the Island Guards. Victoria, Jan. 18.—-Advices have been received of an attempted raid upon the sealing rookeries of Copper island, now guarded toy Japanese patrols by a Japanese sealing schooner, with several American sealers in her crew, and Wm. Dewitt,* formerly of San Francisco, was shot three Urn s by the guard on shore. News of the raid, which failed to achieve dts object, to loot the rookeries, is given in a letter from Hakodate, which says: "One of tbe schooners tried to raid Copper rookery ibut could not make it stick.' The writer also stated that Dewltt, though shot three times, jumped overboard and towed the 'boat with his comrad s on board out of -range of the rifles of the shore guards. The boat was riddled tout none of the occupants were killed. The sohooner Belfu took 17 sea-otter skins last season, some being valued at upward of floo each. It transpired later that of tho twelve Jurymen, eleven were for conviction or murder, and out- for manslaughter. When discharged this morning the Jury had been out for 114 hours. j The story published In a Vancouver, u. C, paper some days ago, that llemy would be lynched if acquitted, wiw wholly without foundation. The prisoner will remain ln Jail, probably until the next criminal session of the county court, when a new triul will bo had. The accused, who was without friends of funds, was ably defended, by Col. C. B. Nolan und two other attorneys, supplied and paid by the state. Leon A. LaCrolx, tho leading attorney for the state, Was ably assisted by lieutenant governor Norrls of Dilllon, who was retained by relatives ot the murdered man. , It was not known this morning* who it was of tlie Jurymen that held out lor manslaughter, as agulnst the rest, ror murder. The case hns attracted widespread interest throughout the state, and a new trial is certain under the circumstances. When the decision of the Jury wus made known In court this morning, Remy Hushed slightly, but remained perfetly composed, as Indeed ho has been all through tho trial. After consulting with his counsel, Colonel Nolan, the prisoner was taken bock to Jail. BOUNDARY ACCIDENT. Premature Explosion at Mother Lode Mine—Three Injured.

Algeciras, Jan. 18.—Tho delegates to the Moroccan conference had a private ses- losn lasting two hours this afternoon. Tlie session resulted practically In un agreement on .the main lines of a plan for the repression of contraband entering Morocco. It van feared thut this question of contraband might lead to a Franeo-Uer- niuit tension, which would negative tbe repressive measures proposed, but tins happily appears to huve been averted. The discussion was an ttifunnul one, for the purpose of permitting the delegates to Hpi-uk their minds without having their views officially recorded, ami proved tu ■be most conciliatory, the only divergence being made by Moroccan delegales. In that they could not permit the lupressloii or the hunting fur urms without Hrst referring tlio multer to the sultan. Tlie delegates were hi accord upon the need of nil the powers passing laws- pehuilztng tlie introduction of contraband und also tended toward a plan under which Morocco would adopt rigid repressive measures In co-operation with the powers. There followed u proposal submitted by Spain which was designed to reconcile the differences between France and Germany, and a eommitiee of live was appointed to report upon It at the session to be held oil Saturday. This committee is composed of Slgnor Malmusl, Italian; Count von Tattenbuch, German; M. Ueg- imult, French; Slili EI Mokhri, Moroccan; and Senor Cavellero, Spanish. Today's meeting bus strengthened the feeling among the delegates that the results of tho conference will be satisfactory. Tho day has been fruitful In meetings of groups of delegates with a view to reconciling their different interests. One danger in the conference Ib considered to lie in the stiff attitude of Great Britain; France, It seems, Is disposed to discuss with Germany the basis of an agreement, but whether Great Britain will favor such an agreement Is not known. However, nearly every, one thinks that the longer the preliminaries nre kept up the less will be the danger and that the lapse of time Itself will assist In harmonizing the serious differences. Active telegraphing Is going ou between the ambassadors and their respective capitals. Tlie French are not trusting to tho land lines, but send their dispatches by a fast torpedo boat to Algiers, whence' thoy are cabled to France. The duke of Aimodo- vur, Spanish, who Is president of the conference, hns a telegraph instrument in bis private rooms, for communication with Madrid. Something ot a flutter was caused among the diplomatists today by the news that smallpox existed here. Rear admi- rul Slgsbee, of the United States tleet, •who learned this fact from tho authorities ut Gibraltar, Issued an order forbidding uny ono belonging to his squadron going ashore ut Algeclras. During the lull preceding tho oponlng of the discussion on Moroccan reforms, France has tuken effective means to cement the union of tlie Mediterranean powers. This has1'boon somewhat threatened by resentment of the French encroachment upon the Spanish military posts on tho Moroccan coast. One ot tlie cliler Spanish strongholds is «t Molillii, near the French Algerian frontier. Recently a bund of French tul- veniurers undertook 'a sort of Jamieson ■movement, establishing headquarters at Chlea, tier Melllla. The French government disclaimed responsibility for the Intrusion, but Spain continued suspicious ot the design to establish a French base on the Moroccan coast. This oaused a noticeable tension In Frunco-Spanlsh relations. It Is understood that tho French cruiser I«u Lnlando left here hastily yesterday with orders to undertake the expulsion of the French establishment at Chlea. This hus elicited expressions of the lieurt- lest approval from the SpnnlBh representatives and Insures the continuation of . Spain's support in France, and the endurance of the union of the Mediterranean powers during the conference. The question of the surveillance of the -trade In contraband arms promises to develop differences of opinion. Germany ins nlrcadv stated lhat she would not consent to any vurvelllaao* whloh would permit foreign warships to detain, board, and examine the German ships. The German Idea Is that the surveillance of the tmde in contraband arms can be obtained by land patrols. The open door policy is accepted enthusiastically by all, especially by France. Revolt, hend of the French mission, suld: "Let us have not only a commercial open door, but an open door in a larger souse, open to the progress of civilization, to prosperity, and to education. This would be a real open door and would result ln the resurrection of Morocco." RAILROAD CENTER.
