THE FREDERICK STATUE.
VII Not Be Sent OUer- By Kaiser
Until Nert Spring.

Berlin. Feb. 28-Emperor William has in
.,ructed Minister vol SternburF TO inform
president Roosevelt that the statue OF FREDERICK
the Great will not be sent 20 the United STATES
until the spring of 1904.
The Emperor's reasons, as communicated by
the Foreign Ofice to Ambassador Tower are
that in view of the unfinished condition OF the
War College at Washington and the consequent
dif1culty in carrying out properly the cere-
monies of unveIing the statue under the present
circumstances, and as the Emperor wishes TO
o,,oia an interval between the arrival Of the
statue in America. and the public dedication his
majesty has decided not to send 1t TO Washing
ton until the spring of 1909
It appears that Minister Won sternhurg had a
conversation with President Roosevelt some
days ago. in which the latter suggested 'Ia' i.
might be as we'll. on account of the disoroer OF
,t,e er,unds and the obstruction of building ma

Chamber of Deputies to-day voted tax oi

and incorpora ted in this law < provision asking
for tho establishment of a government monop-
DIV on petroleum with the least possible delay
American petroleum is one of the chief items OF
irnportation into France and the prospect Of
the American company predominating the mar
ket figured prominently in the debate and was
one Of the chief factors in the unexpected vote
for the establishment of the monopoly This cues
ton came up on a proposition made by Finance
Minister RouVier to tax French oil rehners as Il
means Of relieving the present financial strln-
gencv The opposition attacked sharply this
proposition, on the ground that it would lnjure
the French oil industry and help the American.
NJ Rouvier contended that the French Industry
was now amply protected. and asked that the
refners share with the government a part of
this protection. His assertion that syndcates
always found champions in the Chamber
aroused considerable commotion NJ Lepelletier
Republican Nationalist) said foreign companies
controlled the market, and that il this tax were
imposed it would fall upon the poor. who are
the consumers of oil The Finance Minister af-
firmed that the refiners did not dare to raise
the price to consumers as the American COM
pany would then undersel. the French produc-
ers. NJ. Krauss (SociaIst) asked II NJ. Rouvier
would agree to establish a government monOp-
oily il the price of oil to consumers raised.
NJ Rouvier replied that TO increase the price
certainly would hasten the monopoly Follow
ing this declaration six distinct propositions for
a government monopoly were presented by NM.

Paris, Feb 2S.-Presldent Roosevelts address
in connection with the celebration of the two
hundredth anniversary Of the birth OF John
Wesley is already quoted and commented upon
by the Paris papers, which draw parallels be
tween President Roosevelt's appeal to elite in
feIfects TO come forth from cloistere6 seclusion
and to take part in the hurly burly of humanity
and tbs raw facts Of actual life, and the doc
trinaI and somewhat sectarian article, entitled
Babel and Bible, Order and Disorder, Revolu-
ton and Tradition, written by Emperor Will
lam and published in Grenzboten. The French
papers point out that President Roosevelt's
sturdy practical. God fearing religion calls on
men TO work. TO act, TO fight ard to rely on
their own strong arms and brains, while with
Kaiser William the principles Of divine right
and the hand Of God are paramount and DOM
inant. permeating all else.
To the Partisan mind President Roosevelt
stands forth as the champion Of progress, while
Kaiser William is the rersonifcation Of tradition
and conservatism. The Temps and the
''5clafr' dwell on the significant fact that En-
peror William and President Roosevelt. who en-
body respectively the ideas cf GeTmanic and Of
American civilizations. both lean more and more
