esrmanx Outlines Her Policy.

Washington. n.-Germany has clearly
outlined to the United States her Nor
ocean policy. Acting under instruc-
tions from Berlin, Baron Won Specl1
Sternburg, the German ambassador,
called at the war department and left
with Secretary Taft a memorandum TO
this effect:
Germany stands for the open door
in Morocco as in the far east, and for
the preservation of the status quo, and
for the safeguarding of the CONNER,
cial and trade interests, not only of
Germany, but of all trading nations of
the world,
Secretary Taft without committing
the government on the subject, thank
ed the ambassador and promptly for
warded the memorandum to President
Roosevelt.
Germany makes no mention of
France in the memorandum, nor does
she request an expression of views by
the United States.
This information has been conveyed
to the United States because of the
sensational reports abroad about Ger
many's attitude.
Although France is not mentioned in
the memorandum, it can be stated that
Germany regrets that she was not Of
ficially advised of the new position in
Morocco contemplated by Great Brit
ain and France. which was later dis
closed in the treaty signed last spring
by which the London government de-
ferred to the superior interest of
France in Morocco
Germany holds that her interests in
Morocco are in every respect equal to
those of Great britain and the estab-
lishment by any power there of a spec
ial sphere of influence would be de-
plored in Berlin, and that the brief
memorandum sets for the Moroccan
policy which Germany has all along
pursued and from which she does not
propose to be swerved.

Washington, D. C.-That it was

certed action on the part of the neu-
trail powers for the purpose OF induc-
ing the belligerents in the far east
ernern war to respect the neutrality
of China is for the first time Off
cially disclosed in the advance sheets
of foreign relations made public at
the state department recently.
1t has been limited for long time
that the German Emperor was the
initiatory force in these important
exchanges, but 1t has until now been
impossible to obtain any official con-
firmation of the fact.

Conference opens.

Melrose, Mass.-Under most auspic-
ious and inspiring conditions, the 109th
annual session of the New England
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church opened here in the First Epis-
copal church. The session will con-
tinue until April 12. Bishop Charles H.
Fowler of New York is presiding. The
attendance is about 200.
The business session of the confer
> ence was held April 6, but many of the
most important matters will not be
considered until late In the session.
One of the rumors heard about the
conference hall is that Bishop Fowler
has decided to appoint new presiding
elders in the Cambridge and Boston
districts Both the present incum-
bents, Rev. Willard T. Perrin in the
Boston district and Rev. Joseph H.
Mansfield in the Cambridge district,
have served more than five years. Ac.
cording to the rules of the conference,
six years is the limit, and it is said
that the bishop has decided not to
wait for the expiration of the extreme
term allowed.
There are many men fitted to fill
these places Of honor, but the names Of
five are most frequently heard. These
are Rev. John d. Pickles of st. Johns
church, South Boston; Rev. George s.
Buffers of Brookline, Rev. A. p Sharp
Of Somerville, Rev. c. F. Rice of
Springfield and Rev. John Galbraith of
the Bromfeld street church, Boston.
There is always the possibility that
the bishop will name some one whom
few have thought would win the hon
or, but the five names above are con-
sidered to be in the lead. The changes,
if any, will not be announced for sew.

Bail Allowed for the Smiths.

Cincinnati, o-The habeas corpus
hearing of j. Morgan Smith and his
wife, who were arrested here last week
and held under New York indict-
ment for conspiracy with Nan Patter-
son in the Caesar Young murder case
has been again postponed before Judge
Spiegel of the common pleas court,
ON request of states counsel, until
Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Shay, for the defendant, said he
was willing the case should go over,
but in view of the fact that the cases
were thus to go over for several days,
in order that no hardship be worked
on his clients, he asked that bail be
fixed. After some discussion the court
fixed bail at $1,000 in each case.
MIR. Shay expressed the hope that
bail might be secured during the after
noon, but in the meanwhile the prls-
oners were remanded to the county
Jail.

on the national bank repositories for
about 100000 in two instalments,

ly that he would call for so percent OF

ment, falling due on the first of July,
will not be noticeable in view of recent
appropriations made available on that
date and which will be paid very soon
thereafter"

RUSSIAN DOCTORS FOR PEACE.

They Adopt Radical Program.

They Adopt Radical Program.
Moscow-The congress of doctors
from all parts of Russia, which was
summoned to meet in Moscow under
the auspices of the Pirogofn medical
society, to devise means for combat
ing the expected visitation of cholera,
which congress was at first prohibited
but later was granted permission to
meet under the condition that it dis
cuss only scientific questions, has justi
fed the apprehensions Of the authori
ties by adopting as its first step in the
anticholera crusade a set of resolutions
calling for the execution of the whole
of the radical political program.
The resolutions declare that an i'm.
provement in economic conditions of
the people is necessary as basis for
the preservation OF health and that for
future prevention of epidemlcs 1t is i'm,
perative to have radical changes in the
tax laws, an increase in the quantity
of land allotted to peasants, and to
satisfy the demands of the Industrial
cessary to completely tranquilize the
ignorant population, among whom 9th
erwise it will be impossible to execute
sanitary measures.
The proposals eliminated in de-
mand for the immediate convOcation OF
q constituent assembly on the basis
of a universal secret ballot without
distinction as to sex, nationality or re-
ligion.\
The congress, in which there are
more than 1900 delegates, representing
nearly every district of European Rus
sia, also demanded the immediate
stoppage of the war.
Among the demands set forth in the
resolutions Is the transfer of the police
to the executives of the local govern
ments; guarantees of freedom OF
speech, the press and assembly; union
for strikers; amnesty for all political
and religious prisoners and eXiles;
equality of all nationalities, languages
and religions before the law general
compulsory education; separation OF
church and state; introduction of an
income tax; abolition of indirect taxes
and the main points of the Gapon peti-
ton of the st. Petersburg workmen
of Jan. 22.
One resolution favored responsibility
of the ministry to a representative
assembly.
