THE MOROCCAN TREATY.

DISCUSSED IN FRENCH SENATE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Paris, February 7. In the course of a further debate in the Senate on the Moroccan treaty, M. Jenouvrier charged M. Calliaux with having, when Secretary for Foreign Affairs, negotiated with Germany and offered l to cede a French colony in the Pacific. M. de Selves denied any knowledge of the alleged; offers to Germany. M. Jenouvrier replied that M. de Selves' was several times about to resign office when the offers were made. Had he done so he would' have been the most popular man in France, but he preferred to sacrifice popularity to the silent accomplishment of his duty. M. Caillaux has sent a letter to the newspapers denying the accusation. * M. d'Estornelles considered the attacks on M. Caillaux exaggerated. Received' 9, 1.15 a.m. Paris, February 8. OL Caudin, Reporter of the Senate's Committee, explained that the committee would not proceed with the negotiations initiated by M. Caillaux, because of differences between Mm. Caillaux and de Selves. The question was one of domestic rather than of foreign politics. M. Caillaux's regrettable negotiations had not exercised a. decisive influence upon the treaty.
