GERMAN RULER
VISITS TANG|ER.
STAY IN MOROCCAN CITY Is
GREATLY SHORTENED.
HIS RECEPTION is CORDIAL
Brevity Of His Visit Said to Be
Due to Wish to Avoid Possibility
Of an Anti-French Dem
enstratiop.

Tangier, April Emperor William
paid a flying visit to Tangier Friday, re-
naming barely two hours on shore. The
elaborate programme for his reception
and entertainment was much changed,
the emperor combining himself to visit
to the German legation, where he re-
ceived Populations of Germans in Mo-
rocco. The changed plans caused much
comment and disappointment. The en-
peror had been expected to land about
eight o'clock, but this was delayed three
hours. Meanwhile, Count Won Tatten-
bach-Ashold, former German minister
t9 MOROCCO, returned to the Hamburg
before the emperor landed. 1t was Of
ficially explained that the reason for
this procedure was the roughness of the
sea, but after the departure of the Ham
burg it was stated on good authority that
Emperor William, having heard that
there WAS possibility of an anti
French demonstration on the occasion
Of his visit, desired to avoid such an in
cident. Another report, which, how
ever, has not received official confirma-
ton, but Is generally accepted, states
that the German legation was informed
that an anarchist plot had been discoy-
cred, and advised that the emperor be
dissuaded from landing. Count Won Tat
tenbach-AshOld visited the German le-
CATION and interviewed the Moorish au-
thorities, and afterwards notified his
majesty that every precaution had been
taken, but advised that the programme
be confined to visit to the legation
Notwithstanding the shortness OF his
majesty's stay in Tangier. the occasion
will certainly be marked as one OF the
most brilliant and picturesque in the
history Of this pretty seaport. The
Moors exhibited unwonted enthusiasm
and throughout the two hours the en-
peror was on shore no untoward incident
occurred. His majesty appeared to thor
oughly enjoy his visit. The scenes In
the streets gave evidence OF the sin
certify Of his Welcome The procession
from the pier to the legation was ex-
ceedingly imposing. The uniforms OF
the emperor and his suite mingled pic
turesquely with the native costumes and
local coloring, while the music of the
sultan's band added touch OF true orr
eptalism to the scene The ceremonies
strangely c0ntrasted with receptions at
al other places visited. His majesty
was especially CORDIAL toward the Ger
man colonists, whom he assured he
would always maintain the rights and
interests Of German subjects In Moroc-
co. Before his departure for Gibraltar
Emperor William bestowed decorations
on Mulai-Ab-El-Malek and the deputa-
ton sent by the sultan to welcome him.

sanguine Expectations Realized and
Confidence Regarding the Future
Is Increased.

New York, April L-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade returns are increasingly salts
factorily, continued high temperature
accelerating distribution in all leading
lines. The closing days OF March
brought greater confidence regarding
the future, and results for the first quar-
ter of 1905 proved even more favorable
than was anticipated when the year
opened. Sanguine expectations OF man
ufacturers who made extensive prepara-
lions are now being realized. Reports
from the south indicate that the period
Of hesitation is about over and agricul-
tural sections are stimulated by pros
poets of good season for planting.
Freight congestion has followed the
heavy shipment Of spring merchandise
and railway earnings in three weeks Of
March were 8.2 per cent. larger than
in 1904. Buyers are arriving in large
numbers at the leading jobbing CEN
tiers. There is less ice in the lakes than
at this time last year, but another week

port for the last week showed gain Of
$2.404,617 in imports and a decrease Of
$8l7,924 in exports, as compared with
1904. A steady demand is noted in all
departments Of the iron and steel in
dustry, orders constantly coming for
ward, and most plants are assured of
activity for many months, while some
mills decline contracts for shipments
any time before 1906.

GATHERING AT DENVER
Epworth League Convention vii
Convene Day After Tomorrow

DENVER, July 3.-The information
opens here day after tomorrow. WISH
tors are already beginning to put in
an appearance and indications point to
a large attendance. Many of the early
arrivals have scattered to nearby re-
sorts to spend day or two before the
convention begins.
What the Christian Endeavor is to
the other evangelical denominations,
such is the Epworth League to the
great world of the direct followers of
John Wesley and his teachings. Eff
forts have been made at different times
to induce the Methodists to come with
in the fold of the Christian Endeavor,
but the governing spirits of that de-
nomination, reinforced in a large
measure by the rank and file, have
preferred to maintain and develop
pie. To this end they have labored
with undated zeal and energy, with
the result that, in numerical strength
and in spiritual influence, the Epworth
League of Methodists is second only to
the church proper itself.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
present convention is held so far west
remote from the great centers of the
denomination in eastern states and in
Canada the arrivals to date and ad-
vices concerning the organized delega-
lions and individual visitors, who are
en- route, indicate that the convention
will be one of the largest ever held I'M
der the league auspices. 1t will be
notable, moreover, for the number of
distinguished people who are to take
active part in the proceedings.

State Auditor Clausen has refused

member of the railroad commission,
because the vouchers call for salaries
from the date of the members taking

tains that the commissioners are en-
titled to pay for their services only
from the time they met and formally
organized.
In Fairchild's case the difference be-
tween his claim and what the auditor
deems proper to allow is about $153.
The amount at issue In McMillin's case
is $22. The question has been referred
