FRANCE AND ENGLAND LIKELY TO BATTLE FOR IT. Muley Husan'i Death May Embroil the Two Nations in Hostilities, with Spain Drawn in—Berlin Silver Conference Made No Definite Recommendations. Warships Are Astir. Serious complications have already arisen between France and England over the death of Muley Hassan. Sultan of Morocco, and the two powers may become Involved in war, with the possibility of Spain being drawn into the quarrel Already France has dispatched warships to Tangier, and England will certainly follow suit, while Spain already has a formidable cruiser there. Then again civil war is very likely to follow in Morocco Jietween the adherents of the rival claimants for the Sultanate, including the two sons of Muley Hassan and a brother of the dead Sultan, which will serve to still further complicate the situation.

So Say the Friends of Sliver—Point to the Berlin Conference. The adjournment of the Berlin silver commission without making a detlnlte recommendation has been the subject of more or less comment among Senators and members who take an Interest in the silver question, says a Washington correspondent. In referring to the announcement from Berlin Senator Teller said that ho regretted the fact that no recommendation favorable to silver had been made. “The commission was,” he said, “the outgrowth of discontent among the agrarian classes and was appointed by the government In response to the strong pro-silver sentiment In the agricultural section of Germany. I have never nnderstood that In was expected to do more than collect information in regard to the situation, or If It was the original purpose that the commission should make a recommendation I think that was abandoned some time since. The proceedings of the commission were public, I understand, and of course will be of benefit to the silver cause to the extent that they educate the masses of the German people. Outside of the educating effect of the publication of the proceedings, I don’t think the work of the commission will have any effect unless it be to Increase the conviction, which is already growing in this country, that the United States will have to lake this question in hand and act independently of other nations.” The silver leaders In the House say that the adjournment of the Berlin conference without definite results is another evidence that the United States must execute her own financial policy without waiting for foreign nations Representative Bryan, the lieutenant of Mr. Bland, said: “As long as we wait for Germany and England nothing will be done toward restoring sliver. As soon as we restore silver tolls former place on an equality with gold prosperity will return to our industries. ”
