IN RIoFoLS MOOD.
Springfield, o., Mob Prevented from
Burning a Saloon.

Springfield. o., April 3.-There was
great apprehension here tonight of a
repetition of the disorderly scenes
which were enacted year ago when a
negro named Dixon was lynched be-
cause of numerous complaints that had
been made against the saloon kept by
Joseph Kempler, in the ''Levee'' district
large crowd of men and boys gather
ed in that vicinity at 10 o'clock with
the avowed purpose of burning the
place. The police were more alert than
during the Dixon riot and quickly sur
rounded and patrolled the place, max
ing a number of arrests of men who
We're considered disorderly and likely to
arouse the mob spirit.
At midnight the police have kept the
crowd which numbered up to 1000 per-
sons well scattered and the feeling is
growing that there will be no rioting.
All the saloons in the portion of the
city where the Kempler saloon is To-
Gated are closed. The number of
drunken men on the streets is increas-
ing and this fact gives the police Off
cials more concern than any thing else.
The more disorderly part of the crowds
is composed of almost identically the
same class of men who burned the sa-
looms at the time of the lynching of
Dixon a year ago.

SMITHS FIGHr EXTRA DITION.
Lage Number of Letters Taken from
Their Trunks.


Cincinnati, April 3.-The hearing of
the habeas corpus proceedings institut-
ed to prevent the return to New York
of J. Morgan Smith and wife, under in
dictment there for conspiracy with Mrs.
Smiths sister, Nan Patterson, to
blackmail the late Caesar Young, was
set for to-day before Judge Frederick
Spiegel. The trunks of the, Smiths,
held by the police, ON search warrants,
contained large number of letters
which have been sent to New York by
express. However, the particular let
tiers which led to the clash between
Mrs. Smiths attorney, Coloney Shay,
and Detective Akin. are understood to
be still in charge of the local police,
although Akin has started for New
York.
One Of the chief contentious Of at
torneys for Morgan Smith and wife
when the matter Of the habeas corpus
came up to-day was that the extradi-
tion papers at Columbus last week were
invalid, Governor Herrick having been
out Of the state and the papers hav-
ing been issued over his signature when
in fact the law required that in such
matters the governor must pass on
each application In person. 6
The case was only partially heard to-
day, adjournment being taken until
Wednesday.

Iy In Behalf of Protestants.

Boston, April 3.-By prearrangement
the regular weekly meeting of the Con-
gregationalist ministers of Boston and
vicinity considered the question of the
acceptance of the 100000 gift from
John d. Rockefeller to the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions and the protests of represen-
tatives of the ministers of the denomi-
nation in New England, as well as the
recent report on the question accepted
by the prudential committee of the
American board.
With the Rev. Thomas Sims of Mel
rose presiding, the meeting was almost
entirely given over to this subject.
The Rev. F. A. Noble. D. D., of Chi
cago, representing the prudential
committee, defended the action Of that
committee in accepting the gift. The
protestants had named as their spokes-
man the Rev. Daniel Evans of CAM
bridge. The hall was overcrowded and
besides the two principal speakers
many were heard on both sides when
the subject was open for general dis
cussion.
The meeting was held in Pilgrim hall.
DR.. Mobiles principal contentious We're:
1.-THE American board is not an inqui-
sitorial body. 1t was not organized
to look into the morality OF the man
who makes girt.
'"rhe board was organized to propa-
gate the gospel in heather lands and
the charter provides that any man who
makes bequest shall have it carried
out.
mo man has right to hinder any
other man who wants to do good"
DIR. Evans, in reply, said: THE ser-
ious national situation created by
some corporations whose methods and
practice are morally iniqitous and so
cially destructive should alarm the
church. One Of the corporations con-
spicuous and notorious for methods and
practices which are morally iniqitious
and are socially destructive Is the
Standard OIL Co, whose president Is
John d. Rockefeller. The facts are In
the possession of the general public
and In the light of them our accept
ance of the gift ana our relation to
Mr.. Rockefeller are being judged by
the plain people.
TT cannot be overlooked that the
prudential committee, as representing
the board, is but the organ Of the
church in its missionary operations.
We ask the prudential committee as an
organ of the church, not to involve the
church in entangling' alliances with
opposing interests and antagonistic
forces. The church, Of which the board
is representative before the public,
must be kept free to strike her blow
and speak her rebuke against corporate
evil, and free to be the leader and in
spirer of those who In many organized
ways are fighting the battle of social
Righteousness"

london, April 1.-The correspondent
at Tangier of the Times asserts that
the correct version Of Emperor Will
iiam's conversation with representa-
tives of the sultan of Morocco, is as
follows: &
"The emperor declared that he had
come expressly to Tangier to assert
that. he would maintain the absolute
equality Of German economic and com
nlercial rights and that HE would not
allow any power to obtain preferential
advantages The sultan, he said, was
the free sovereign OF free country,
and Germany would insist on always
carrying on her affairs direct with him
and would never allow any power to
act as an intermediary. The present
was an unsuitable time to Introduce re-
forms on European lines, and all re-
forms should be founded on Islamto
laws and traditions. What Morocco re-
quired was only peace and quiet, and
he would find means later on for MAX
ing his opinion known on questions Of
detail. Finally, the emperor declared
that he had made these views quite
clear in a conversation with the French
charge de'affaires."
