MOROCCO FIGURES IN TREATY
Spanish Objection Is of No Conse
quence, as No Territory Is In
volved, and France Will
Deal With Her Later!
PARIS, April 5. Foreign Minister Del
casse had a long conference today with
Paul Cambon, French Ambassador at
London, relative to the Anglo-French
colonial treaty, settling several long
pending issues, principally In regard to
Morocco, Egypt and Newfoundland. M.
Cambon will return to London tomorrow,
and it is the expectation that the treaty
will be signed toward the end of the pres
ent week. The main points are settled,
but there are some details capable of
causing delay. For example, the New
foundland government does not wish the
French fishermen to retain the right of
catching their own bait off shore. How
ever, this Is considered a minor detail,
and not likely to affect the general
agreement. France surrenders her sov
ereignty over the Newfoundland shore,
and reeeh'es an indemnity. The latter is
two-fold. First, for French Individuals
giving up property along the surrendered
shore, and second, for the French govern
ment s relinquishment of Its sovereignty.
The reports current, setting forth the
amount of the Indemnity are inaccurate,
as It is the present intention to submit the
amoun. of the indemnity to The Hague
tribunal. Morocco will figure in the
treaty, and, according to the French view,
will be the most Important subject. Span
ish objections at first seemed to threaten
this portion of the treaty, but It is now
perceived that Anglo-French interests In
Morocco are entirely distinct from
Franco-Spanish Interests Spain's inter
ests are political. Those of Great Britain
are commercial. Spain seeks the partition
of Morocco, so that she may control a
portion of the country. France opposes
the partition, believing the future of the
country depends on Its unity. Great Bri
tain has no territorial ambitions In Mo
rocco, and through the treaty will safe
guard her commercial rights and Insure
against fortifying the coast opposite
Gibraltar. Thereafter, France and Spain
will adjust the political future of Morocco,
but indications are that the present treaty
will so strengthen the French position
that her North African empire will even
tually stretch westward to the Atlantic
The Egyptian agreement does not af
fect Great Britain's protectorate over
Egypt, being confined to the admin
istration of the Egyptian debt. Great
Britain having a larger latitude in dis
posing of the surplus without the concur
rence of France. France gets Improved
facilities in reaching Lake "Tchad and
other points in French Central Africa
This concession is a partial return for
the surrender of her uovereignty over
the Newfoundland shore.
The question over tho New Hebrides
will not be Included in the agreement,
owing to the difficulties of adjusting it
through the insular and colonial author-lues.
RAILWAY BILL IS MODIFIED.
Canada Finds Money Market De
mands New Terms to Grand Trunk. '
OTTAWA, OnL. April 5.-SIr Wilfrid
Iaurier. in the House today, presented
the modification of the Grand Trunk Pa
cific contract of last session. In doing so
he spoke of transportation being the most
important question before Parliament
the necessity of a tran;.continental road
being the most pressing of all. There was
also the question of developing the water
ways and connecting the Yukon with the
western centers of Canada. As for the
modifications, they were necessary to the
financing of the Grand Trunk Pacific
owing to the changed condition of the
money markets. These amendments were
not otherwise .Important.
R. L. Borden, leader of the opposition
strongly criticised the modifications, say
ing the undertaking would cost 5150.003,000
In all. He moved an amendment that the
House do not ratify the proposed amend
ed contract, but Instead that there should
be an Immediate construction and con
trol by the dominion of such lines of
railway in the West to the Pacific, as the
country required; that the Inter-Colonial
be extended to Georgian Bay and thence
to Winnipeg, and that the canal system
and inland waterways be extended and
that the terminals on the Atlantic and
Pacific be equipped. The debate. It Is ex
pected, will continue several days.

Servla for the Russian army In the war
In the Far East has been dismayed at tho
receipt of a telegram from the Emperor
of Russia thanking the members of the
committee and .the volunteers for the Rus
sian sympathy, but declaring, however,
that the services of the Servians would not
be required.
The Emperor's telegram came as a com
plete surprise. One thousand applications
from volunteers already had been received
and the medical examination of the can
didates had been set for next week. The
news created something of a sonsatlon
at the festival for the benefit of the Rus
sian Red Cross Society, at which King Pe
ter and many persons distinguished in
social life were present.
Ing the SHnl, having fought off the
enemy's ships for a long time In tho dark
ness, was himself wounded, and his chief
engineer and six men were killed.
"With his machinery disabled, and the
helm of the SHnl damaged. Lieutenant
Krlnitzky decided to cease firing, but,
fearing to leave the open entrance to the
harbor, he approached the shallows near
Golden Hill and got off In a boat with an
other officer to extinguish the fire on the
nearest steamer, and to render aid to the
12 Japanese who had been wounded.
"The Otvajny sent surgeons to care for
the wounded, and boats were sent to the
other steamers at a terrible risk to cut
the wires connecting the torpedoes which
the Japanese had arranged to destroy the
steamers.
"The fires -on the ships were extinguished."

GOWNS vs. SHOES
Shoe Store First Floor.
It remained for the great modistes of Paris to demon
strate to femininity throughout two hemispheres that high
art existed in dressmaking. Likewise did it fall to the
lot of a Michigan ex-Governor, and a Mayor'of Detroit,
to show to the world that art and service could be joined
by a yoke of leather and made to work out the problems
of honest, ultra-fashionable footwear. Artifice born in the blood and
nurtured by scheming, unprincipled cut-throat competition among them
selves has taught the Eastern Yankee the devious way of pressing and
pasting together, over a stylish foot-shaped last, the scraps of leather
and leather-board necessary to making a shoe, which, veneered and
varnished, masquerades under many names, all with dishonesty as a
father. This store believes it is as dishonest and as wicked to dis
tribute Buch products among its patrons as to disseminate smallpox
through negligence or intent. So we go to a firm of honest shoemakers
in Detroit by name "PINGREE" and have made, of leather
peculiarly adapted to our Oregon climatic conditions, the lines of shoes
for which we have become famous as

STRIKE MOT COSTS LIFE.
Union Men Battle With Greeks and
One of Their Number Is Dead.
CHICAGO, April 5. The strike rioting
at the American Can Company's plant in
this city today -was flercor than It has
been at any time and one man, John
Nichols, lost his life by a bullet fired, it
Is said, from a. train on which a number
of nonunion men were being taken back
to the city after the conclusion of the
day's work.
The fighting began early In the morn
ing, when 300 Greeks, who have been em
ployed during the strike, attempted to
come to the factory. They were met at
the gates by a large number of union
pickets, who attacked them with stones
and clubs. Those of the Greeks who had
entered the factory came pouring out,
armed with knives and revolvers, and at
tempted to attack the union men and their
sympathizers who were making the as
sault. The police, artcr a desperate
fight, managed to keep the two bodies of
men apart, drove the Greeks Into the
factory and dispersed those on the out
side. In this fight, a number of men
were severely hurt.
At night, when the 300 Greeks left the
plant, they were attacked by a mob fully
IftOO strong that pelted them with stones,
sticks and bottles. The police, however,
escorted them to tho train without any
body having been seriously Injured, al
though a number of men on both sides
wore bruised. After the Greeks had
reached the train, it Is said, somebody on
the cars fired a shot, the bullet killing
Nichols Instantly.
