MOROCCO AFFAIR
The German Foreign Office is to Issue a Book On the Pres
 ent Controversy.

Berlin, Dec 30.-The foreign office will issue next week book on the Morocco controversy containing docu ments omitted by the French govern ment from its yellow book and cor respondence repelling the accusations of bad faith made against Count Von Tattenbach-Ashold, the former special German representative at Fez. The whole case from the German view point will be placed before the public. Such book on a European diplomatic question has never been issued by the imperial foreign office, which, unlike other foreign offices, has followed Prince Bismarck's rule never to publish such papers, but to hold foreign dis putes in absolute secrecy. Frances yellow book, however, produced an et- feet on the worlds political opinion that the German government is not willing to let go unanswered. The German government resents especially the statements designed to produce the impression that Count Von Tattenbach- Ashold had been untruthful. The book is expected to clear away some lm- pressions abroad that Germany threat enel France.

HE LIKES THE MAYOR
Says He is Going to Help McClel- Ian Give New York the Best Municipal Government
 in the World.

New York, Dec 3O.-General Theo- dore A. Bingham, U. s. A., retired, who on January 1 will become police commissioner of New York city, de- clared last night that he had no poli- tics and only sought to aid Mayor Me Clellan in giving this city the best mu- nicipal government in the world.
 T do not personally know any man who figures in local politics in this city except the mayor" he said, but I have watched and studied the ad- ministration of New York city's police ever since President Roosevelt was a police commissioner In taking this place I am fully cognizant of all It's difficulties, but I wanted to get back into harness again now that have recovered from the accident to my leg which caused me to leave the army.
 T have accepted the mayors offer because I believe that honest munich pal government is the axis upon which the welfare of the whole country re- wolves. know George B. Mcclellan aims to give New York the best mu- nicipal government in the world, and l want to help him as an American citizen and as his friend.
 My study of police history here has shown that it's chief labors under one serious difficulty in not having the power of removal with less re- striction and more independence of the courts than is at present the case.
 My aim shall be to find men in or outside of the department who under stand it and in whom can place full trust
 T have no axe to grind, no friends to reward, no rivals to placate, no enemies to punish in this great city. l feel only that I owe it a solemn duty, which I shall devote all my en- ergies to perform"

TAKEN AN APPEAL
From Assessments of Benefits and Damages on Division (
 Street.

Alderman Stanley, W. H. TIine, Robert Buck and wife and John NJ. Joy, all property owners on Division street, have taken an appeal from the assessments of benefits and damages on layout of that thoroughfare, There are enough cases of this kind now pending in the superior court to keep City Attorney Kellogg busy for six months, if not more, without at tending to any other business. It is therefore impossible to even surlnise when the first of them will be reach ed, and it is the opinion of some at torneys that some means should be taken to dispose of them other than Dy the courts. In view of the croWd- ca state Of both the criminal and civil dockets MT Kellogg has no idea of being able to reach them and if crinl- mai business continues as it has for the past year he will have to be given assistance. For the February term of the superior court, criminal side there are already three murder cases and three or four cases of assault with in- tent to kill, or intent to murder. so that Mir Kellogg sees no chance what. soever of his being able to do any, thing with the long list of appeals from assessments and damages al- ready on the docket of the court.

WORK FINISHED Startling Disclosures Have Been Made. BY YINSURANCEPROBE. Actuary Van Cise the First Wit ness To-day---More Salaries
 Are Cut in the Mu-
 tual Life.

New York, Dec 30.-After pursuing "a line of inquiry into the business methods of life insurance companies in this state which has covered a period of nearly four months, the leg islative insurance Investigating com mittee will end its sessions to-day.
 The vast accumulation of testimony which contains revelations that have astounded the public, will at once be prepared in the form of a report to the legislature.
 The inquiry has brought forth more startling disclosures than any previous proceedings laid along similar lines.
 Like match applied to hay stack, the trouble arising in the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society in the early part of the year started a confiagration of insurance exposures which to the public mind appeared in conceivable. Evidence which de scribed the juggling of vast sums of money invested by policy holders, methods of graft for personal van tage, scheme for financial gain and plans of bewildering intricacy for pri- vate profits, have been produced and will be the subject of the most earnest consideration of the legislators.
 Joel G. Van Cise, actuary of the Equitable Life Assurance society, was the first witness to-day. He has been with the society for thirty-eight years and, answering MT Hughes, said that he was responsible for the actuarial methods of the society. He was asked .F NfOx, 1 with him and replied: Henry B. Hyde attempted to make me make fig ures on dividends declared on deferred dividend policies higher, than thought advisable. That was about fifteen years ago. I reported it to Vice-Presi- dent James W. Alexander and ex- plained the dangers of this plan, and he persuaded Mir Hyde to give way"

Navy Department Will
 Execute Them. COURT MARTIAL
Of Midshipman Trenmor Coffin : The Attorney General Gives His Opinion of the Laws
 of 1874 and 1903.

Washington, Dec 3O-Although the papers in the case of Midshlpman Trenmor Coffin, Jr, whose trial by court martial on the charge of hazing has just been concluded at Annapolis, will be forwarded to the navy depart ment for execution, approval by the superintendent of the sentence of the court is, by law, final The law of June 23, 1874, provides that 'any cadet, midshipman or cadet-engineer found guilty of hazing of said offense by said court shall upon recommenda- tion of said court be dismissed, and such finding, when approved by the superintendent, shall be final and the cadet so dismissed from the naval academy shall forever be ineligible to reappointment to said naval academy
 In letter to the secretary of the navy in March, 1876, the. attorney-gen- eral says:
 q do not believe that the president would be justified In thus abrogating the clear intent and plain meaning of salutary statute and the attorney general wishes strongly to advise against any such course as will tend by indirection to nullify the statute"
 In the same letter the attorney-gen- eral said further.
 Tt is evident from the reading of the statute that the congress intended to put an end to the disgraceful GUS tom of hazing at the naval academy and that congress meant to cut off all chance of reinstatement or reappoint- ment from cadet who had been found guilty of the offense by court martial if such action should be approved by the department.''
 Attorney General Moody has ruled that the law of March 3, 1903, does not contradict the law of 1874.
 Prompt action will be taken by the navy department as soon as the papers are received.

NITROGEN MUST BE FREED
Inert Element Breaks Its Chains When Confined in Com
 pounds.

When left alone 10 its natural func- tions nitrogen pursues a perfectly peaceful course. but when man sue ceeds in capturing 1t and combining 1t with other elements, it becomes a dire potentiallty for evil, as is ob- vious In the recent events of the war in the far east and in the crime in the streets of Moscow.
 The love of freedom, SO to speak, characteristic of nitrogen, is terribly exemplifed in the explosion of the bomb in which it is imprisoned and bound to other elements. On the slightest provocation-a spark, shock, a fuse-the nitrogen suddenly expands from seemingly nothing. as regards the space 1t occupies. Into infinity. This is in reality what happens when dy- namite, lyddite or other unstable nitro compounds explode when hurled in shells in warfare and in bombs in des- perats attacks on human life.
 Nitrogen. against its natural disposi- ton, is locked up in an uncongenial space in these compounds. from which it is set free by simple means in an enormously expanded gaseous state
 deadly effect. returning, in fact,
 .ts normal peaceful mission once more. It is the analogue of the sword and the plowshare; in the nitro- explosive nitrogen Is the modern en- zine of warfare and crime. In the free state in the atmosphere 1t minis ters directly to the quiet and peaceful needs of plant and human life.

Is Now Taking a Deep Interest
 Protestant Episcopal Movement.
 San Francisco, Dec 3O.-The Russian church of North America has been taking a deep interest in the Protestant Episcopal movement toward church federation, and in order to obtain an expression from the Russian synod on the question of union Archbishop Tik- hon of the Orthodox Catholic Eastern church. who until last summer was established in San Francisco, con- ferred with that body in St Petersburg as to the part the church here might take in the matter.
 As result of the inquiries a com mittee was appointed by the synod te first investigate the American common book of prayer. The finding of the Russian committee was extremely con servative, disagreeing on many forms and expressions which were not in strict agreement with the teachings of the Russian church.
 In the hope of still bringing about closer relations with the American church. the Russian synod will appoint a committee of its clergy to meet a similar committee of Protestant Epis- copaI churchmen to obtain a elearef interpretation of the common book of prayer.

Superintendent of Police Beach to- day received an interesting letter from Montreal, concerning Charles E. Bas- sett, who last week was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Thomas c. Lockwood at his home on the AIiddlebury road on the afternoon of February 27. The writer of the let ter, Ellie LeBlance, whose address is 8 Beaver Hall Hill, Montreal, un- der date of December 27, says that from paragraph in La Presse," she saw that Bassett was committed for life. She knew Bassett well, having been stabbed by him with the inten- tion of killing her on April 20, 1896. Her wounds were not as serious as was at first supposed and she recov- cred in few days. Meanwhile, how ever, a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Bassett and it was found he had escaped. A few. days after the assault the whole family disap- peared.

BALLOTS TEMPERED WITH
Was Deeison of Judge Wheeler in Bridgeport
 Election Case.


 Bridgeport, Dec 90.-Judge George W. Wheeler to-day decided that Charles Gotthardt had been elected tax collector of the city on the repub- lican ticket. Tn a memoranda cover ing 24 typewriter pages the court up held the contention that there had been tampering with the ballot boxes after they had been placed in the of flee of the town clerk. Mir Gotthardt has been acting as tax collector since a few days after the election and he olists John M. Donnelly, the democrat who has been holding the office. Judge Wheeler in his first decision on the re- count of the ballots gave the election to Donnelly by a majority of 124 votes. Evidence was then introduced to show that the ballots were tam pered with and it was on this evidence that Judge Wheeler reversed his deci- sion.
