sacre of Catholic miioi;.rie and the
missionaries who fled are returning. It

admitted his guilt in failing to preserve
the peace and has asked for personal

Matter.
Al.i;Kl'Ii;.S. March 7. The French
HiIiiv project a distributed late today
among the ill-legate. The proioitioii
provide a force composed of Mixiri-.li
Mus-uluiatis commanded by sixteen
French and Spanish ollher- and thirty
two non-commi-sioiied officers and a
state bank to advance fund, for the
payment of the mlice. No mention i
made of international supervision and
the proposition is practically the atne
iiutliiied tiy M. Ib'voil on Monday. The
result of tomorrow's sitting is awaited
with iiiten-e interest. KepoHs relative
to the probability of an agreement are
circulated on all sjdi-s. Conciliation cer
tainly is in the air. and continued ef
forts are going on. but a tangible basis
for a jKis-ihle arrangement cannot lie
learned. The (itinian delegates do not
display outward signs of making conces
sions while France's latest utterance is
indisputably opposed to further concession-.
Neutral delegates are quite opti
mistic relative to the arrangement of
the differences at the last moment. A
report from Austria to preent an ac
irptable arrangement is current, but im -partial
delegates look rather to lierlin
or l'aris for igns of a eompromi-e.
Should the conference proceed to vote
on the rival schemes, it i- understood the
American delegates would ab-tain. not
een otTering an opinion. This would
leave the delegates in a position tn con
tinue effort- to bring about an under-
-t Hiding. Most of the delegates are
cognizant of America's attitude and
onie including the liiiti-b and Flench
approve her abstention.

Out lining his view, as to what -hould

"I want the bill amended so that the
coal operator of West Virginia can open
his mine, have that mine connected with
a railroad, have his just -hare of cais
arid thus have his product carried to the
best market so the farmer of the West
can ship his surplus grain; the planter
of the South dihpo-e of his cotton urn

their share of the manufactures of the
Fast, and so that it will be plain thai,
the railroads shall not he owners of coal
lands, grain lands, or any business en
terprises, and that the small producer
shall have, an equal chance with the
large."
