Empire of Morocco, an absolute sm, has been in a state of turmoil T many years past, owing to the nat- course of events in a country unre- ed ty any laws, civil or religious, and also cn account of the steady war- fare which the Sultan, Mulal Abdel Aziz, has had to wage against the pretenders to the throne. This caused a feeling of uneasiness among the Arab tribes in Al- geriz, the adjoining French territory, | and led 0 efforts on the part of France to assume & guardianship over Morocco. Germany was not willing to unreservedly agree to this, being second only to Great Britain in the extent of her Interests in Morocco. In 1802 the fmports of the three powers into Morocco were: Great Britain, $6,210,000; Germany, $1,850,000; K France, $380,000. The exports of Morocco to the three powers in 1902 were: To Great Britain, $2,999,000; to Germany, $535,000; to France, $785,000. France, pursuing her Moroccan policy, sent a special mission to Fez last year. Germany and Great Britain did the same. The German Emperor went still further. He visited Tangier on March 31, 1905, on the imperial vacht Hohenzollern, but re- mained ashore barely two hours. During that time he mede a speech, of which several versions were published.” The substance of his Majesty’'s remarks, how- ever, was that he assured the German residents that the sovereignty and integ- rity of Morocco would be maintained. * The same day the then French Minis- ter of Foreign Affairs, Delcasse, made a significant speech in the Senate at Paris, t an explanation | FRENCH FLEET 10 AWE CASTRO Reports That Warships Are Hurrying to Venezuela Are Not Denied in Paris Special Diepatch to The Call.

DELEGATES TO THE CONFERENCE throughout Europe, resulting later in a strained state of affairs and in the propo- | sition to hold an iInternational confer- ence on Morocco. France and Great Britain, on April 8, | latter in substance gave France a free | hand in Morocco in return for a free hand In Egypt and the settlement of the Newfoundland fisheries dispute. Great Eritain also agreed to support France in" her Moroccan policy. Meanwhile Delicasse was compelled to foreign affairs of France since June 28, 1893, and Premier Rouvier took the for- elgn portfolio. Subsequent developments showed that the change in the Foreign Office probably averted war between Ger- | many and France, as the former country was pressing the latter very severely, diplomatically. After considerable further fencing be- tween Germany and France those two powers on July 8, 195, agreed on the basis of a programme for the proposed international - conference. ~ Without en- posed it may be said that the main and most dangerous point to be discussed at the conference is the question whether France is or is not entitled to have a special and privileged position in Moroc- co. This is the vital issue and the minor questions, it has been pointed out, can be adjusted, once this point is definitely settled. Germany, it is understood, will seek to secure international control of the police, the customs and other mat- ters, and an “open door” asi to com- merce. —ee————— i VETERAN DENTIST DEAD.

SPAING VALLEY (ASE WRITTEN Six thousgnd five hundred and fifteen pages of typewritten testimony taken in the suit of the Spring Valley Water Company against the city were filed yesterday with United States Commis- | sioner Heacock, wWho had heard the | testimony on behalf of United States Circuit Judge W. W. Morrow. In order to pass upon the merits of the case Judge Morrow will be obliged to read 2,380,250 words and to examine 240 co- luminous exRjbits. At the legal rate of twenty cents per folio Stenographer Bennett would be entitled to collect $4760. The hearing ‘was spread over a period of seventeen months and one week, in that period 233 days having been actually con- sumed in taking testimony. The sten- ographer’s per diem at the rate of $10 would amount to $2230, making a to- tal of $7090. The greater part of the follo charges be defrayed by the water company, as the evidence for the city was not nearly so voluminous as that on behalf of the corporation. But the stenographer’s bill is the least item of cost of the trial. The fees of the witnesses, including the high-priced experts brought from the East and elsewhere, will mount into ‘the thousands, each party to the con- troversy defraying the expenses of its own witnesses. 3 The suit was brought by the water co .the enforcement of the water li.‘-l:k ¥ in- and the in the United States court to Another Day’s Voting in Great Britain Takes Forty- Two Seats From Unionists LABOR FORGES AHEAD In the Elections Held to Date Seventeen of Workmen’s Candidates Are Victorious LONDON, Jan. 15.—The Liberal land- | slide continues. Out of seventy-six con- | tests to-day, the Liberals and Laborites together secured sixty-two seats. The Liberal gains to-day show the surprising total of forty-two, while the Unlonists i gained only one seat, that of Hastings. Two former Cabinet officers went down before the \gtorm of Liberal sentiment. | Gerald Balfour, who was president of the local government in the Balfour Cabinet, | was defeated at Leeds by a majority of 1069 and Walter Hume-Long, former Chief | Secretary for Ireland, lost his seat for South Bristol, while Augustine Burrell, president of the Board of Education, de- feated the Unionist candidate at North Bristol. Lord Hugh Cecil, leader of the Con- servative free traders, was defeated at | Greenwich and Gibson T. Bowles, a E(.'nlonl!l free trader, lost' at Kings Lynn, both being opposed by Chamberlainites. | Aside from the overwheiming gains by the Liberals throughout the country the | immense majorities secured in the turn- | over are causes of surprise to both sides. | The Labor candidates are showing re- markable strength, the total gains of the | Labor party to-day being seven, not in- | cluding one Socialist, W.

Out of these hitherto Unionist strongholds the Unionists succeeded in se- curing only seven seats. -Thrée members of the new Ministry were returned to-day by strong majori- | ties—Herbert John Gladstone, Secretary for Home Affairs; President of the Board of Education, Birrell, and James Bryce, Chief Secretary for Ireland. The Attorney General, Sir J. Lawson Walton, also re- ceived a large majority. Among the few Unionists who retained their seats were H. O. Arnold-Forster, formerly Secretary of War, at Croydon, and Sir Howard Vincent at Sheffleld | Newcastle-on-Tyne voted for two seat to-day, but the returns were not received to-night. These seats hitherto have given the Unionists majorities, but it is pre- | dicted that the vote will be close and that | both are likely to be turned over to the Liberals. RINK HEALTH OF THE VOLCAND Special Dispatch to The Call, HONOLULU, Ja... 15.—Seeing the -old year out and the new year in when sit- ting on the brink of a volcano does not fall to the lot of everybody. But it was done at Kilauea by the following party: Mr. and Mrs. George Lycurgus of the Volcano jiouse: Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Monnast#s, Portland, Ore.: Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert N. Batchelder, Kohala, Hawali; Katherine Jenning, Portland, Ore.; Henry Jenning, Portland, Ore.; J. Torrey Con- nor, Oakland, Cal. At 10 o'clock the horses were at the Volcano Hotel door. With the sudden- ness known only to tropical climes, a fleet of clouds, black huiled and white winged, sailed suddenily up out of the west, and there was a general scamper for raincoats. The cavalcade filed into the path that led by devious windings to the lava plain. Down and still down, the night darken- ing as they advanced, until, when they reached the lava beds, the trall beyond was lost in shadows. Single file, with their noses to the ground, the patient horses picked their steps by lantern light, the guide, marching ahead, send- ing back an occasional ‘“Hello” to bring up the stragglers jn the rear. At the corral the party dismounted, and, tumbling over the broken Java, some- times on the path, sometimes off, the nine made a bee line for the crater, smoking propitiously half a mile ahead. It was a breathless scramble in the dark- ness, the lanterns, dancing like fire- flies, seeming to intensify the gloom. But at last, with fifteen minutes of the old year left, they stood on the brink of the pit, gasping and choking in the clouds of sulphurous smoke that enveloped them. There was a hurried unpacking of champagne botties, a chorus of popping corks, and, with glasses held aloft, Mme. Pcle, the goddess of fire, was toasted on the tick of 12, bottles and glasses be- ing thrown into the depths below. As if in response to the toast, the mists of the pit lifted, and, crouching on the crumbling brim of the crater, the mid- night visitors saw a fountain of fire, ris- ing, falling, and rising and falling again. ——— RECEPTION TO DR.

HELD FOR TRIAL —_— Man Accused of the Assassi- nation of Frank Steunen- berg Offers No Defense STATE'S CASE STRONG Many Witnesses Tell of the Suspicious Aections of the Alleged Dynamiter BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 15.—At Caldwell to- day Probate Judge Church committed Harry Orchard on the charge of having murdered. ex-Governor Frank Steunen- berg on December 3. The defense offered no testimony. The accused man Is In jafl at Caldwell. Twenty witnesses in all were put on the stand by the State in the preliminary ex- amination. The most important to-day was Andrew Johnson, a Boise officer, who talked with Orchard several times before and after his arrest. He had a collection of exhibits connected with the case. W. H. Schenck testified that Orchard had roomed with him for two weeks in November and that during that time two strangers visited him. BSeveral witriesses told of having seen Orchard in the vicinity of the house of the victim. Jullan Steunenberg, son of the former Governor, testified that a man, whom he identified as Orchard. came to him on Wednesday night before the mur- der and asked when his father would be home. He said he had a deal with his father for some sheep and was anxious to see him. The boy told the man that his father would be back on Friday night. Among the witnesses was A. Ballan- tyne, a Caldwell business man, who saw Orchard a few minutes before 3 o’clock on the evening of the murder—not more than forty-five minutes before the bomb #as exploded. He testified that Orchard was in a nervous state, evidently pre- occupled with something. He fajled to answer questions and otherwise gave evi- dence of being under a strain.

No hint of the result of his | investigations has leaked out. The case was submitted without argu- ment, and In a few minutes after the State had rested Judge Church formally - | committed the prisoner to the charge of the Sheriff to await trial.
