APPROVE PLAN OF PRESIDENT FOR FREEDOM OF THE CHURCH
REVOLT AGAINST DOMINATION
OF THE BUREAUCRACY.
Movement Against the Subordination
of the Russian Church to Civil Au-
thcrity-sIanifestoo of Group OF St.
Petersburg Priests. Supported by
Influential Clergy.

st. Petersburg, April 2.-2 a. m
The movement just being begun Tor
greater freedom for the Russian
church and the demand for the COMO
cation on a general council to consider
reforms in the spiritual and admins
trative life of the church and voices
in che manifesto of a group Of ST Pet
ersburg priests, finds support in the in
fiuential clergy, not only in the CAPT
tai but in the provinces, and is 10 be
regarded as another manifestation OF
general revolt in Russia against the
domination of the bureaucracy, which
is equally predominant in church as
in political administration. 1t IS a
mistake to suppose the movement is
directed against the Emperor with
whose position as divine representa-
tive and vicerOy upon earth the whole
belief Of the Russian church is bound
UP, but against the subOrdination OF
church to civil authority aims, which
have been steadily growing since the
institution by Peter the Great of tho
Holy Synod.
The manifesto was followed yester-
day by a letter from Bishop Dmitri
Of Novo-M -Mirsgosod, one of the infiuen
tial provincial bishops in which he Je-
mands freedom Of the church from The
power of the Chinovniks and the bu.
| reaucracy and names the chief procura.
tor OF the holy synod, both as an Off
cial whose power needs curtailmenC
and who himself stands in the way oi
reform.
! The whole movement, in fact, is aim.
ed at the procurator general OF the
holy synod, PObedOnOstseff, and the
lchancelleries under his direction which
though in essense a political organl
zation has attained such powers rha
without it's permission no pulpit car
| be occupied and not even repairs il
a church in the remotest government
can be undertaken.

RADICAL ELEMENT IN CONTROL
William j. Bryan Delivers an Address
"n the Subject Rack to the People. y
Democratic Party Now United OH
the Rasis of 2 Forward Movement

Des Moines. Iowa. April 1.-"Back
to the people," was the subject OF
William J. Bryan's address tonight at
the Jefferson banquet of Iowa Dem O.
Gratis. Back to the People" he said
is the phrase that best describes the
tendency which is manifesting itself in
the nation and in most of the states.
Fer a period of wears the tendency
was toward corporate domination and
the voice of the people grew weaker
ana weaker on the comparison with
the influence of money. But the tide
has changed and we see evidences
everywhere of a determination on the
part Of the masses to assert them
serves i'll the management OF parties
and i'll the conduct of the government
This tendency to, restore to the
people their lost rights and to place
them in possession of their own
affairs is not going to stop with the
trust question or with the railroad
question. 1t will extend TO every issue.
When applied to the tariff question 1t
will cut an end to the system that has
been in vogue for a quarter of a GEN.
tury under which the manufacturers
have been permitted to write the
schedules and determine the amount
of the collections that they must take
fcora the people through the operation
of high tariff laws. The application
Of this principle will bring together
the capitalist and the laborer. when
the financial question which has not
only been overshadowed by the aues-
ton of monopoly. but has lessaned IN
Importance by the increased volume
of money-thfs question will also feel
the impulse of the movement Back
to the people"
The doctrine that few financiers
can safely be permitted TO dictate the
financial policy of the nation will be
oyerthrown with the overthrow of the
doctrine that these magnates can safe
ly be allowed to control the traffic of
the nation, or trust magnates the iu-
dustries of the country.
''TheDemocratic position is being
INDICATED, and the Democrats face the
future with hope and courage. Te
last election proved the follow of the
attempt TO make the Democratic party
q conservative party or competitor
with the Republican party for the IA
vor of the trusts and syndicate. The
aggressive and progressive element
the radical element, if you please, of
the Democratic party is again in col
troll of the party. The Democratic par
ty is again united and it is united upon
the basis of forward movement"

OPEN DOOR IN MOROCCO
The Attitude of Germany Explained
Diplomatic Motives That are OBJ
sc,lre.

Berlin, April 1.-The German side of
the Moroccan controversy is founded
upon treaty of which article ole
reads:
Continuing and unchanging friend
ship shall exist between his majesty,
the German Emperor, and his majesty,
the sultan OF Morocco, also between
their empires and their subjects. Be-
tween both empires shall the present
freedom Of trade continue, and for tcis
purpose each of the high ontracting
parties binds itself to give and to Sc
cure to the subjects of the other alt
tights, advantages and privileges now
o. in the future held by the most ia
yOred nation
This is the treaty of 1891 which un-
der it's terms might have revised it
1856, but was not revised and runs with
cut any provision for it's denunciatiOn.
The contract with Morocco cannot Of
right be dissolved or impaired it is
asserted by the German government,
by the agreement between France ard
Great Britain to which Germany hs
not signatory. Germany declines al
together to recognize France as hav-
ing any more dominant position in Mo-
rocco than Germany.
Germany does not trust to France TO
protect German trade. She prefers
rather to deal with the sultan.
The German ambassador to the
United States. Baron Won Speck-Stern-
burg, under instructions from the for
eign Office has explained to the state
department at Washington that Ger
many stands for the open door in Mo
rocco. Germany has not asked ti,e:
United States to do anything nor have
negotiations of any sort been begun or
proposed. Germany does not expect
the United States to do anything bUt
she desires that it should be known in
Washington that the basis of her ac-
ton in Morocco is the open door u
trade
Behind this legal attitude as it may
be called of the German government
are diplomatic motives which are liz.
easy to measure. Germany is disln,
clined to see France spread further il
Northern Africa and would check aud
delay indefinitely, if possible, that POI
icy of peaceful penetration which
would add strength to France. Prob
ably also Germany is willing to EN-
barrass France and gain a diplomatic
victory at the time Frances ally is
fully engaged elsewhere. These M
tiyeS are, however, obscure.
One obvious thing is that Germany
does not consent to have her old reia-
tons with Morocco modified by au
agreement TO which she is not a party
and after remaining passive for year
chooses this moment to object by DIP
, lomatic activity at FeS.

He Will Head the Reorganized Canal
Commission.
WILL RECEIVE A LARGE SALARY
Names of the Other Members OF the
Commission VIII be Announced
Monday-Mr Shonts is to Talk
Over the Situation very Thoroughly
with the President. So That There
Will be no Conflict.

Washington, April President
Roosevelt has completed the reorgan-
ization of the Isthmian canal commis-
sion, and the names of the members
will be made public Monday morning
So Iar as the facts are concerned they
could be made public now, but Secre-
tary Taft will not return to Washing
ton until Sunday afternoon and it is
desired that he shall be consulted be-
fore the announcement is made.
Theodore P. Shonts, president of the
Toledo, ST. Louis and Western railroad
is TO head the commission. He TO-DAY
notified the President that he woHIii
accept the offer made to him.
MIR. Shonts came to Washington last
night and conferred with William Mel
son Cromwell, Secretary Morton and
Colonel Edwards, the head of the in
sular affairs bureau of the war depart
ment. He went to the White House
today with Colonel Edwards and had
a long conference with the President,
who told him some of the difficulties
under which the old commission had
worked. MIR. Shonts had little to say
on leaving the White House except to
admit that he would accept the tender
made to him. 1t is understood that
the President will fix his salary al a
large figure to compensate him, as far
as possible for the financial sacrifice
he is probably making in leaving his
position.
Horace G. Burt, former president OF
the Union Pacific road, who was talk
ed Of as the head Of the new commits
sion, will not have place on the body.
Mr. Shonts is to have another con,
ference with the President, at which
! the situation in the canal region will
| be talked over in detail. The Presl
dent desires a full talk with the new
executive head of the commission. AT
| this conference it will be determined
where the line will be drawn betwen
! tn executive head and the chief engl-
! neer The President will outline the
duties that are to be performed by each
and will try to arrange matters so that
there will be no conflict.
! Mr. Shonts was born in Crawford
| county, Pa, and has been in the rail
road business since 1881. He has been
successfully general superintendent
general manager and president Of the
Toledo, ST. Louis and Western rail
road. He is a graduate of Monmouth
College and a brother-in-law of John
Drake, partner of John w. Gates.
