the course Of his speech at the German Lega-
tion. said
There is no preponderating influence in Moroc-
CO. Germany must enjoy the same rights as
other powers. We guarantee that the sovereign
ty of Morocco shall and will be maintained.
This rather defiant version is probably a too
free translation of the Emperors words, but 10
serves as a peg on which London newspapers
hang further querulOuS editorial observations
and criticisms. THE Times's'' Tangier cOrre-
spondent says:
It is impossible to deny that the Emperor's
visit, which the world wished to consider as
that OF an imperial tourist. has been an immense
political demonstration. Nobody who saw Tan
gier to-day garlanded with flowers and behagged
until the very houses were scarcely distinguish
able could doubt that such expenditure and
trouble meant more than merely a courteous
welcome to an Emperor desirOus of seeing the
curiosities of Tangter 1 was able to watch the
Emperor during all his interviews, and noticed
the forcible manner in which he spoke especial
ly TO the Sultan's uncle, and the brief two hours
he spent here may prove to have marked an
epoch in the history of Morocco. He is reported
to have spoken most emphatically to German
subjects at the legation, but no official account
OF his remarks is obtainable.

MORE DEATHS REPORTED.
Meningitis Averages Tscenty Vic-
tins a Day-Ne1C Diagnosis.

From noon Thursday TO noon yesterday there
were twenty deaths from spinal meningitis re-
ported and it is announced that there has been an
average Of twenty victims OF the dread disease
daily.
The commission appointed by DR.. Darlington to
Investigate the epidemic of spinal meningitis met
last night in the rooms of the Board of Health
There were present Dr. w. T. Northrup presi-
dent; DR.. w H Draper. DR.. Joshua Van Cott DR.
simon EieXner. DR.. 2. X. Dunham. Dr. T. Mitchell
Prudden ,, and Dr Darlington. as Health Commits
sloner The tentative list OF questions selected by
the commission and submitted to hospitals beTs
and abroad for answer concerning the epidemic
was the chief subject discussed. An important
question asked of the hospitals that of ths
health OF the nose and throat in their relation TO
this disease. The popular theory Is that the spinal
meningitis germ enters through the nose and
through the brain spreads TO the spine
DR.. Darlington said after the meeting that the
commission had decided upon diagnosis for the
disease. which is for physicians TO take n lumbar
culture and examine under the microscope the
microbe secured from the puncture at the base OF
the spine. If the microbe thus examined is found
20 have horns. then the disease is Enthusiastically
meningitis. The commission will meet every Fri

From the committees point Of view IL was
important at the outset to have in evidence the
amounts which the company had received on the
stocks Of the other companies and the amounts
which IL had received in dividends from the other
companies, so that the committee might take
the total receipts Of the other companies and
verify the actual profit Of this gas business.
The next thing 70 ascertain will be the actual
property invested in the gas manufacturing
business This property is carried on the bal
ance sheets at from $47 100000 TO S4S.O0O,OOO.

holds in other companies, the cash on hand and

Senator Stevens told Tribune reporter, after
the close Of the session. that the Investigation
would probably be held every day next week,
provided the presence OF the Senators and AS
semblymen who constitute the committee Is
not required imperatively in Albany.

LOOPHOLE FOB JACKSON.
Recorder Finds He Cannot Sentence
Coroner Convicted of Bribery.

Recorder Gof yesterday practically dismissed the
indictment against Coroner Moses w. Jackson, who
was convicted Of bribery before the Recorder and
Is now in the Tombs. The Recorder finds that he
cannot sentence Jackson and suggests that the Dis
trict Attorney take the case to the Appellate Tri-
bunal for a decision. He also suggests that Mr.
Jerome might proceed to indictment on the
charge Of attempted extortion or oppression.
Coroner Jackson may be released In IS 900 hail
on the one indictment which is practically upset by
the Recorder reversing his own decision. He prac-
tcaly cOnfeSses that he admitted questions OF law
which he should not have allowed
The Indictment grew out of the arrest OF DR.
John w. Alexander in connection with the death
Of Marie Smith, the alleged victim Of a criminal
operation, 1t was alleged that Jackson tried to
bribe Assistant District Attorney Chadwick to sec
that DR.. Alexander not indicted

TINE LIMIT FOR ALDERMEN
Hast Act on Franchises Within Sip
Weeks, Says NezC Bill.
IBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BuxE.I

Albany, March 31-Stin another attempt to
diminish the source Of graft" income of the
Board Of Aldermen Of New-York, furnished bv
their control Of franchises, is contained in a bill
introduced by Assemblyman Prentice to-day.
This measure, less drastic than the Elsberg-
Stanley bills. puts the aldermen on their good
behavior by fixing a time limit after which their
failure to act on a franchise is in effect equal
to their favorable action on the application Six
weeks is the period of grace allowed the alder
men. Under the existing Rapid Transit act the
aldermen are directed to act in four weeks but
if they do not there is no result other than the
tie-up OF the franchise
The Elsberg- Stanley bills attempt to remedy
the evil by simply taking the power from the
Board Of Aldermen and substituting the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment. This seems a
little too hard to Mr.. Prentice who, in dis
cussing the measure to-day, said:
The Board Of Estimate and Apportionment is
unquestionably far superior TO the Board Of
Aldermen, but in Ii there is little public COM
sideration and practically no public discussion
Of such matters, and there is practically no
minority criticism In the present Board of
Estimate and Apportionment there is only one
minority vote. That is George Cromwell Presi-
dent Of the Borough of Richmond I believe
that these essentials to the proper consIdera
ton of the granting of a franchise can he se-
cured only in the Board OF Aldermen Tho ac.
tions Of the Board of Aldermen have been IN
Suet t nag IhILI uIsresaFd OF good faith and hon
esty OF purpose that 1t is necessary to safe
guard its actions most strictly and to conpel
1t TO act, but with those safeguards believe
that these matters can be left to the Board of
Aldermen. -
The measure amends Section of the Rapid
transit act, by changing the time within which
the vote shall be taken from four to si1- vreaI~.
and by providing that 'if majority of ali the
members of the Common Council shall not vote
against such plans and conclusions within siV
weeks above limited. then they shall be dearnaJ 81
at the expiration Of said period. TO have bee1
passed by the requisite vote of the Common
Another Prentice bill provides that II a fran
chise ordinance is not referred by the alder
men TO the Board OF Estimate the City Clerk

a copy to the Board of Estimate. and tho. th,a

PEACE RUMORS DENIED.
Not EOeH Preliminary Terms Dis
cuSsed, Says Dr. MOtORO.

Paris, March 61.-The correspondent OF The
Associated Press called at the japanese Lega-
don to-day ana requested Dr. AIotono 20 furnish
a decisive statement which would set at rest all
Misunderstanding Accordingly the Minister
gave the following statement. which was taken
an writing. ana may be accepted as authorita-
tiVely clearing the situation:
tell you explicitly that there are no peace ne
gotiations preliminaries for initiating peace
negotiations IN progress at this time, far as
am aware, and believe my information 70 be
complete am not oesirous OF discussing the
general question Of peace for, owing 70 the COM
plete absence OF negotiations or preliTninarles
toward negotiations, that question can be only
academic and without practical bearing.
The statements that have conferred with II.
Delcasse at his residence are false and are
calculated to confuse a situation which IS per-
Hectly plain. There is no representative OF Japan
authorized at this time 10 discuss peace or
foreshadow in the slightest what conditions the
Japanese government might consider II the
negotiations assumed a practical stage. On the
contrary, Japan is now engaged in conducting
a military campaign. and she viii resolutely
proceed with that important work
St. Petersburg March S1-A report current
here late tonight that Japan has declined
20 negotiate for peace on RusEia's basis cannot
be traced to any responsible source
From all the information obtainable Il Is re-
garded as certain that negotiations between
the belligerents are not yet under way, but the
task OF bringing them together is being worked
out Informally through the United States and
France IN the persons OF President Roosevelt
and n. Delcasse, the French Foreign Minister.
The diplOmatists here generally believe that
the negotiations. once begun, viii be conducted
directly between representatives OF the warning
countries One prominent diplomat however,
expressed the opinion that all the powers were
likely 10 be drawn in, and that there might be
another Congress OF Berlin. He desired il to be
understood. however. that he did not mean that
the powers would attempt TO rob Japan OF the
fruits OF victory. Such a congress might be
held after Russia and Japan had concluded
peace
