ROUGH SEA.
And German Emperor Apologized for Not Be.
 ing Able to Land.

Tangier, Morocco, March 31.-.rhe Hamburg American line steamer Ham, burg with the German emperor on board arrived here this orning from Lisbon. His majesty was awaited at landing by the representatives of the sultan, the diplomatic corps and Il large crowd of people.
 A heavy sea was running when the Hamburg anchored and tho emperor sent his grand chamberlain ashore to apolo- gize for the fact that he must delay landing owing to the rough weather, and saying that he probably would land later. This announcement caused the greatest disappointment among the people ashore who had collected to welcome his majesty.
 The usual salutes were exchanged between the escorting German cruiser Prinz Friedrich Karl and the land bat teries and the French wsrships Lionis and Du Chayla, now in these waters.
 The town presents most picturesque spectacle. Flowers, rich Moorish en- 'broideries, fine rugs and brilliant east ern costumes everywhere make up a scene heretofore unknown in Tangier.
 Emperor William landed here at l1:45 a. m., having previously received visit on board the Hamburg from the commander of the Du Chaya..
 Emperor William, who was accom- panied by a brilliant staff, rode on horseback through the densely crowd ed streets to the German legation. Later the emperor re-embarked on board the Hamburg.

WAS FORMER. GOVERNOR.

Portland, Ore, March 31.-A. Yer schinin, civil governor of Port Arthur before the surrender of that fortress to tie Japanese, passed through Portland en route from the Orient to Russia.
 Mir Verschinin bitterly resents the surrender of General Stoessel. which, he believes, could have been postponed for two months at least. When asked what import attached to these two months, the former governor replied that the surrender, by releasing 1OO,- OOO Japanese and an immense amount of heavy artillery, was undoubtedly re- sponsible for the defeat of the Rus sians at Mukden. The two command CTS to whom Verschinin gives the credit for resisting the Japanese dur ing the long siege are Generals Smir- noff and Kondratenko, who. he de clares, far exceeded General Stoessel in ability.
 Mir Verschinin speaks in the highest terms of Japanese soldiers. He does not. however, attribute their indOmita- ble perseverance in battle so much to bravery as to lack of feeling, which he asserts is an impossibility for any Flu rOpean race.

LINDER IS ENCOURAGED.

St Petersburg, March 31.-SenatoH Hinder, viceLpresident of the adminis-l tratfve department of the Finnish sen-. ate, who is now here, is much encour- aged by the effect on Finnish public opinion of Emperor Nicholas's answer to the petition of the Finnish diet He; believes the concessions regarding m11-; itary service and the removability o3i judges will go far towards allaying the discontent in Finland. The conscrip- tion question has been a burning one with the Finlanders and Senator Ln-, ders advices from Helsingfors indicate that there was general rejoicing when the decision of the emperor became known. The imperial manifesto will probably be issued tomorrow and will be submitted immediately to the diet, whose session may be prolonged so as to enable that body to accomplish need- ed legislation.
 Senator Idnder says that all but, a small minority in the diet favor ac- ceptance of the concessions and the resumption of work. Regarding the other points of the petition Senator Linder believes concessions may come later.

MORE PEACE TALK.

New York. March 31.-Repeated an- nOuncements f: regard to the proxim- ity of peace are confirmed, it is as- serted in a dispatch from a Times correspondent at St Petersburg, by information from what is called an unimpeachable source showing that Russia and Japan have selected Pres ident Roosevelt as mediator. that ne gotiations are already in progress. and that the suspension of hostilities may shortly be expected.
 After detailing reports as to the negative conditions of peace laid down by Russia and set forth recent ly in dispatches to the Associated Press. the Times correspondent adds:
 The selection of President Roose- velt as mediator. which was due to Japanese initiative. is regarded here as evidence of excellent discrimina- tion- The Japanese thereby secure a firm friend. who at the same time will make it a point of honor to bring the negotiations to successful close. and who therefore would not he likely to have accepted the difficult post of mediator if the Japanese intended to present exorbitant demands"

WAR ON THE TELEPHONE
 COMPANIES AT HARTFORD
Very Breezy Hearing Before the Judiciary Committee Bill to Regulate Rates Was Engineered by Presi. dent Hewes of the State Business Mems Association -Danbury Has Big Grievance

Hartford, March 31.-Several bills appertaining to telephone interests, designed to improve the system and principally to lower the rates to GUS toners in various sections of the state were given a publi chearing by the Judiciary committee today. Tho hall of representatives was comfort ably filled.
 The discussion was centered upon two subjects, that of repeating the present law under which the tele- phone companies are organized and the question of establishing rate limit It was plain that the present law is substantially the guarantee of monopoly to one company.
 The bill of Representative Potter of North Haven opens the state to con- peting companies. President Dwight H. Hewes of the State Business Mems association conducted the dis cussion which favored the bill. F. Stone of Danbury claims that the tel ephone rates in his city were eXorbi- tant and that every other city in the state enjoyed lower rates. The charges there were SAP annually for residences and SIP for business inter- ests. D. T. Dyer of Collinsville made an impassioned address in which he railed at the Southern New England Telephone Co and furnished the con- mittee considerable amusement by his blunt statement.
 Congressman Sperry said that he was in touch with people who were ready to proceed at once, if permit ted, to put telephones in every house in the state, free of charge, at a cost of $1 per month. He urged the pas sage of the bill repeating existing laws. At 3 o'clock the speakers for the opposition were heard. Among those who spoke were President Tyler of the Southern New England Tele- phone Co and Judge Stoddard of New Haven, the counsel for the company

NO HOPE
 FOR PEACE
War Will Drag on
 Says Dispatch.
Stories About Delcasse and notono are Inaccurate Latter Says No Peace Ne. g0tiatiOns Considered.

Paris, March 31, 1:55 D. m.-What- ever hOpefulness the peace situation may have had some days ago the sit uation has now completely changed and there is every prospect that the war will drag on again. Consequent ly dispatches appearing in America saying that Foreign Minister Del casse and Dr Montono, the Japanese minister to France, have been confer ring at the formers house relative to peace are inaccurate. The foregoing view of the situation is taken by the parties. immediately concerned and it Is asserted with the authority of the foreign office and the Japanese lega- tiOnI
 The Associated Press correspondent has talked at length with Dr Motono during the last few days and the sit uation heretofore set forth in these dispatches reflected the view of Dr Motono and others directly concern ed. although with the usual reserva- tio nof not using their names. How ever, in view of the continued reports that there were indications that Min ister Delcasse and Dr Motono were
  tions the correspondent of the Associ- ated Press called at the Japanese le- gatiOn to-day and requested Dr Mo- tono to furnish a decisive statement which would put at rest all misunder- standing. Accordingly the minister gave the Associated Press the follow ing categorical statement which was taken in writing and may be accept ed as authoritatively clearing the sit uation:
 q tell you explicitly that there are no peace negotiations or preliminaries for initiating peace in progress at this time so far as I am aware and I believe my information to be con- plete. am not desirous of discuss ing the general question of peace for owing to the complete absence of ne- gOtiatiOns or preliminaries towards ne- gotations. that question can be only academic and without practical bear ing.
 "The statements that I have con- ferred with NJ. Delcasse at his resi- dence are false and are calculated to confuse a situation which is perfect ly plain. There Is no representative of Japan authorized at this time to discuss peace or foreshadow in the slightest what conditions the Japan ese government might consider if the negotiations assumed a practical stage. On the contrary Japan is now conducting military campaign and she will resolutely proceed with that important work"
 It can. be added that the introduc- ton of the foregoing dispatch as well as the portion quoted was submitted to Dr Motono, who approved every word. It was similarly submitted to the foreign office where it was ap- proved throughout Therefore the dispatch can be accepted as being in the highest degree authoritative.

JUSSERA!ND'S OPINION.

Washington, March 31.-M. Jusser- and. the French ambassador, believes that peace is not in immediate pros- pect between Russia and Japan. He so expressed himself after a visit to President Roosevelt to-day to bid him goodbye before the president goes on his southwestern trip, and said that both combatants at this time appeared to be bent on continuing hOstilities for a satisfactory adjustment of their diff culties. He added that he did not talk with the president on the subject of mediation and he did not believe that the Washington government had yet concerned itself officially in any move ment looking to cessation of the war. It was learned, however, that the prospects of peace were discussed at length.
