EMPIRE'S POSITION STRENGTHENED WON CONTEST UNAIDED, WHILE FRANCE HAD GREAT BRIT.- AIN'S ASSISTANCE. Berlin, July 11.—The agreement be- tween France and Germany on the subject of Morocco. cannot buf be re- corded here as a diplomatic success of the first importance over both Great Britain and France, although it is expressed in terms of great modera- tion, the agreement being referred to as “an accord bised on a full appre- clation and recognition of each gov- ernment’s rights and aims.” Yet of- ficially the issue is regarded as a tri- umph for Emperor William and Prince von Buelow that will strengthen Ger- many’s diplomacy. everywhere on the Continent. The attitude of the American gov- ernment towards the Moroccan con- troversy was altogether satisfactory to Germany. Precisely what part President Roosevelt took in forward- ng the settlement is not made public in Berlin, but it is appreciated that the influence he exerted at Paris and Lon- don contributed towards the settle- ment. PREMIER ROUVIER SATISFIED. French Interests Protected in Moroc.- can Agreement. Paris, July 11.—Premier Rouvier submitted to the chamber of deputies during the day the notes exchanged between him and. Prince von Radolin constituting the Franco-German agree- ment relative to Morocco. Great inter- est attached to the statement owing to the feeling that the agreement had averted a situaticn recently lnvnhlnz the possihjlitios oM. M. reouvier followed the readlng of the notes with a deiailed explanation of the negotiations. He declared that the understanding now between Ger- many and France was formed upon the essential principles fully recogniz- ing the special interests of France. He added: “The accord thus realized leaves in- tact the arrangements France had pre- viously concluded with other powers. At no moment of the negotiations did the discussion turn upon the Anglo- French agreement or the Franco-Span- ish agreement. The declarations made In the notes and the formal assurances from the representatives of the Ger- man government permit me to affirm that Germany does not question our accord with Great Britain and Spain. How could it be otherwise since it is evident that accords between two pow- ers are not matters for discussion with a third power. The chamber can felicitate itself in the happy result of the negotiations between France and Germany, thanks to the sincere efforts of both governments,” M. Rouvier’s statement was raptur- ously applauded on both sides of the chamber. WILD BEASTS ESCAPE. Menagerie Tent Blown Down During a Storm. Middletown, N.

Washington, July 11.—That Secre- tary Wilson intends to take no step | backward in his report on the ‘cotton leak investigation was evidenced by his statement that he’ was not afraid of any libel suit which might be filed against him by Mr. Price or others mentioned in the report. In fact, he said, he would welcome such action because it might be the means of de- veloping some facts not already un- covered and which it was desirable to know. He said he would not commu- nicate with Mr. Price or his attorney, “This is a quarrel among gamblers,” he said, “brought about by the dissat- isfaction of some of them in not get- ting what they thought was their due. 1 have nothing to take back.” _ ‘1o view of the opinion by ©nited States district.attorney that a crim- inal prosecution against Holmes would not lie = Secretary Wilson utimated that he would suggest to President Roosevelt to recommend to congress that legislation be enacted to cover cases of a similar character involving ‘a breach of tr usl LEAP FROM FAST MOVING CAR.

It is the object of the com- mission to reduce -the amount of this sort of labor as much as possible by the introduction of modern machinery;| but it will be necessary to secure sev- eral thousand additional workmen.

Under a recent decision of the attorney general labor- ers will work eight hours a day. WOULD AFFECT WAGES. Railway Employes Protest Against a Reduction of Freight Rates. Springfield, Ill., July 11.—Represen- tatives of all the railroad employes’ as- sociations in the state to the number of 100 appeared before Governor De- neen during the day to protest against a -reduction of freight rates by the state board of railroad and warehouse commissioners. The governor’s peti- tioners claimed to represent 105,000 railway employes. They said a reduc- ton of freight rates did not so much mean the reduction of their wages as it did shorter hours, slower trains and less trains, and other economies which would affect and reduce earnings of railroad employes. They held th; duction of rates would not benefit{re- tailers, but only shippers and jobbers. Governor Denegn said he had re- ceived communications from thou- sands of persons asking that rates be reduced. These requests he had sent to the state board of railroad and ware- ‘house commissioners, which will hear the case, and the governor recom- mended that the railroad employes file their protest against reduction with that body. He said this matter ought to be settled now for all time. FATAL NEW YORK FIRE. One Man Killed and Two Persons Are Missing.
