statement of H. II. Rogers:
Mr. Rogers alleges that the vast sums extortad
in rebates by the Standard Oil Company from its
competitors were legally taken because no law
exactly forbade them. What I said was that the

THE KAISER AT TANGIER.
HIS VISIT CURTAILED.
Rumor of anarchist PIot-Mo-
roccO,s Integrity assured.

Tangier. March 31-Emperor William of
Germany paid a flying visit to Tangier to-day
remaining barely two hours shore. The
elaborate programme for his reception was
much changed. the Emperor conhning himself
TO a visit 10 the German Legation, where he
received deputations of Germans in Morocco
The changed plans caused much comment and
disappointment. though the Moors showed un-
wonted enthusiasm.
The Emperor had been expected to go on
shore about O'Clock, but the landing was de-
layed three hours. Count Won Tattenbach-
Ashold went ashore and returned 10 the Ham
burg before the Emperor left the vessel. 1t
was officially explained that the reason for this
procedure was the roughness of the sea. but
after the departure Of the Hamburg it was said
on good authority that Emperor William. hav-
ing heard that there was a possibility of an
anti-French demonstration on the occasion Of
his visit desired 10 avoid such an incident
Another report which. however. has not re-
ceived official confirmation. but is generally ac-
cepted. says that the German Legation was in
formed that anarchist plot had been discov-
cred and advised the Emperor not to land.
Count Won Observation-Disclosures. who was former
ly German Minister to Morocco. visited the Ger
man Legation. talked with the Moorish authori-
ties. and afterward informed his majesty that
every precaution had been taken, but advised
that the visit he confined to the legation.
The usual salutes We're exchanged between the
escorting German cruiser Prinz Friedrich Karl
and the land batteries and the French warships
Linois and Du Chayla, when the Hamburg
tered the harbor this morning. When the En-
peror reached the shore. at noon. many dip
lomats had retired on the earlier announcement
that the reception would be deferred. His maj
esty was received by Ahd-el-Maiek. the Sultan's
uncle. with whom he talked for some time.
Deputations frcm the German residents and
leading Moors were then presented TO the En-
peror. The Germans delivered to his majesty
an address of welcome. to which he replied as
follows
I am happy to recognize in you devoted
pioneers of German industry and commerce
who are helping me in the task Of always up
Motherland. The sovereignty and integrity of
Morocco viii be maintained.
Emperor William and his staff rode through
the crowded streets to the German Legation,
where he held a reception II the members Of
the diplomatic corps and leading Arabs, incud-
ing the former War Minister ii Menebhi The
Emperor had another conference with Abd-el-
Malek and also long talk with the Spanish
Minister.
A bd-el- Malek presented 10 him the gifts sent
by the Sultan, and Emperor William re-em-
barked

Paris. Match 31-The Foreign Minister. N.

this afternoon which evidently was designed 10
meet questions arising IN connection with the
visit Of Emperor William to-day 10 Tangier.
The Minieter spoke with moderation. but his
closing declaration that resistance in interested
quarters would not cause France 10 modify her

PRIESTS URGE RUPTURE.
PLEA FOR INDEPENDENCE
Strong Russian Increment to Break
Relations zcith State.

ST. Petersburg, April 1.-The movement to
sever the traditiona! bonds between church
and state and give to the Holy Orthodox
Church independence and seIf-rule in order to
increase its influence among the people of
Russia has found favor with an important
group of clergy at the capital. A noteworthy
document. setting forth these views. which
was presented to Metropolitan Antonius of St
Petersburg, has been received with sufficient
consideration to insure its publication in The
Church MessengeT.' the semi-official organ of
the diocese of St Petersburg, and of the
most important religious papers in the realm.
The document, after arguing that the church
should free itself from obligation to the state
in order to lend all It's energies to the prosecu-
tior of its own special work and eliminate the
suspicion that its ministrations may be in
clined toward worldly ends and interests dc
mands the summoning of a general council of
the church to consider means of attaining the
greater freedom required. It's publication in
The Church Messenger has occasioned much
comment in ST. Petersburg and in religious cir
cles generally and it is reported that the Holy
Synod has decided to recommend to Emperor
Nicholas the summoning of such a council
The question is all important one on ac-
count of the strong connection between the
religious and political elements in the Russian
social organism. and that it has been raised and
pressed al this time indicates the extent to
which Russian society is stirred at the present
hour The movement is believed 10 be now
largely confined to a group of metropolitan
clergy. and it is not known to what extent the
priests in the country at large are affected.
Taking as its text the recognition in the inn
perial rescript of the necessity of enlarging the
horizon of the religious life of Russia. as we'll
for adherenJs Of noT.-Russian faiths as for the
orthodox and heterodox elements in the Russian
Church. the document says true believers must
rejoice at the liberation Of conscience from GER
tain restraints placed upon heterodox Russians
and non-R Russians. and must equally recognize
the necessity OF reform of the Orthodox Church
if its influence is to live and grow. If the spread
of indifference to religion is to be checked and
II the Church is TO realize its high. God given
calling The document declares that 'ony a
church free from external influence in the di-
Tection of all its affairs thereby avoiding the
liability of being considered a force of action
under the influence of the state, hope to
check the spread of other faiths and creeds in
Russia and retain the nation in the faith OF the
fathers"
The address calls for a return to the original
canonioal freedom Of the Russian Church

Ell
Albany. March 31.-The failt.re of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church to join the appIi-
cants for revocation of the St. Regis Hotel LIQUOR
tax certificate is one of the principal grounds
taken by State Excise Commissioner Cullinan
to-day in refusing to grant the application It
" as alleged that the premises of the hotel COM
pany were within the prohibited zone of two
hundred feet from the church.
Assuming that fact to he true" SAYS Commits
sioner Cullinan. "the department is reluctant to
extend favorable consideration to a request from
aggrieved property owners 10 institute canceIa-
tion proceedings on such a ground I'm the alb
sence of an application from the church aur
thorities in that behalf"
In announcing his decision the Commissioner
says that certain dwelling house owners re-
quested the revocation, alleging that false state
ments were made in the application for the GER
tificate and that the consent of the owners of
two-thirds of the dwelling houses and of the
authorities of the church within two hundred
feet of the premises was not obtained He con-
tinued:
1T has not been the policy OF the department
to institute proceedings in its own name and at
its own expense to cancel liquor tax certificate
when the complaint is based upon the sole
ground that the certificate holder has not OBJ
tanned the necessary consents of the owners of
buildings occupied exclusively as dwellings with
IN the two hundred feet zone. The law contern-
plates that in such case the proceeding shall be
instituted by the property owner claiming in
jury. The department, therefore, declines to in
sttute in its own name the cancellation pro-
ceedings requested. The applicants are remitte6
10 the provision of Subdivision > of Section 2S
of the Liquor Tax law, authorizing the institu-
tion of proceedings in their own names etc. to
remedy the alleged wrong
The Rev. DR.. J. Ross Stevenson, pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, said last night:
We opposed the issuance of a license on the
ground that the bar within the prohibited
tance OF the church, and the courts decided against
us, The present petition was entirely in the hands
OF private parties ana we thought interests
would best be served if we kept apart The mat
ter, so far as regards the church. is entirely in
the hands Of the board Of trustees and 1 cannot
say II the church will take further action until
consult with them regarding the matter.
