 TO MEDIATE Russia and Japan Said to Have Chosen Him. ST. PETERSBURG REPORT Idea Was Suggested by the
 Oriental Ruler. Alleged U.impeachasle Authority ssys Negotiations Ars s'nded way and
 HostiIitiss wna bs soon.
 Suspended.
ST. PETERSBURG REPORT

New York. March 3f.--Repeated an- nouncements in regard to the proxi- mity of peace are confirmed, 1t is as- serted in a dispatch from Times cor- respondent at St. Petersburg. by in- formation from what Is called an un- impeachable source. showing that Rus sia and Japan have selected President Roosevelt as mediator. that negotia- tions are already in progress and that the suspension of hostilities shortly may be expected.
 After detailing reports as to the negative conditions of peace laid down by Russia, and set forth recently In dispatches to the Associated Press, The Times correspondent adds:
 The selection of President Roose- welt as mediator, which was due to Japanese initiative. is regarded here as evidence of excellent discrimination. The Japanese thereby secure a firm friend. who at the same time will make 1t a point of honor to bring the nsgo-. tiations to successful close. and who therefore would not be likely to have accepted the difficult post of mediatox if the Japanese intended to present ex- orbitant demands"

COngregatIOnnlist Minister Comes Back
 at MT. Rogers.

at MT. Rogers.
 Columbus, Ohio, March 31.-Dr. George Washington Gladden., Moderator of the General Council of the Congre- gational Churches of the United States, tonight gave out the following reply to the statement of H. H. Rogers, Vice-President of the Standard Oil Company:
 MT. Rogers alleges that the vast sums extorted in rebates by the Stand ard oil Company from its competitors were legally taken, because no law explicitly forbade them. What I said was that the money was iagitiously &C., quired. To coerce the railways into an arrangement by which 1t received a large rebate. not only on it's own oil, but on all the oil sent by Its compet- itors, to force the railways to rob It's competitors for It's enrichment, was. I submit, a fagitious policy, a shameful policy If there was no law at that time by which that particular kind of robbery could be punished. the robbery It was by this means that this enor- nous power was created.
 q am not a lawyer. but I should think it altogether possible that even under the common law, such an in- iquity as this might have been pun ished. Railways. which are chartered unnder public law, must be required to render to all the people an equal ser vice If such a use of them as was n ade by the Standard oil Company could not be punished our legal ma chInarY would be very defective.

FRANCIS IS REMANDED
INVESTIGATING DEFuNCT sT0REl
 COTTON COMPANY.
Evidence Adduced Before Upited states CommissIOner Tending D. show Conspiracy to De-
 fraud,

Philadelphia, March 31.--On the testi- mony of two former employees or the defunct Storey Cotton Company, stan ley Francis. accused of being one of the promoters and directors of the concern, wsa today remanded for trial by United States Commissioner Craig with bail fixed at S50,00O. The original charge against Francis was using the mails for fraudulent purposes and he was arr rested at the instigation of the postal authorities.
 The two important witnesses against the accused man were Miss Margaret Hope. a stenographer. and Miss Ger trude Sundheim, a bookkeeper, who gave testimony which the commissioner held to be sufficient to convince him that the defendant was party to con- spiracy to defraud. James R. Clark, an expert accountant employed by counsel for Senator Bradley of Camden, receiver of the Storey Cotton Co.,, also testified concerning his examination of the cash book which he said contained an entry of $200,301 as receipts from cotton investments which was the only indication on the book of any invest ments by the company. statement of the conc ern's business showing as- sets of $7CO,000 was produced by United States District Attorney Thomp- son and after examining it the witness said there was nothing on the cash book to show such assets. The book did show, however, that the company had lost $1,17S,417. but there was no indication that this sum was lost in cotton transactions.
 Miss Hope testified that Francis att tended many of the meetings of the directors of the company. Others who attended the meetings she said were Messrs Storey, Quinlan and Harper. The last named is Frank c. Marin, also known as Judge" Franklin Stone. Miss Hope said that Francis wrote many of the circulars sent out by the company. Cross-examined, Miss Hope said other members of the company had told her that Francis was the advertising mana ger. though Francis himself had never so informed her. She said also that she once received instructions from Francis as to what disposition to make of a check that came through the mails. Miss Sundheim in her testi- mony said that the defendant was pre- sent at nearly all of the directors meetings She said that Francis had given various instructions to herself and other employees including Miss Collinz," who is the Sophie Beck for whom the authorities are searching.
 Several additional witnesses testi- fled that they had lost money entrusted with the company for investment. Counsel for Francis argued that the government had failed to show that he was connected with the Storey Cot ton Company in any other capacity than that of an employe and asked for his discharge The commission. how ever, sent the prisoner to the county prison.

SPEECH OF DELCASSE
FRENCH MINISTER'S SIGNIFICANT
 STATEMENT.
Meets Questions Arising From Visit of the German Ruler to Tangier and ElIcits Vigorous
 Applause.

Paris, March 31.-Foreign Minister Delcasse made a significant speech in the Senate this afternoon which evil dently was designed to meet questions arising in connection with the visit of Emperor William to Tangier. The Minister spoke with moderation but his closing declaration that resistance in interested quarters would not cause France to modify her policy brought out vigorous applause.
 Frances Moroccan policy" M. Del casse said, "continue in the same con ditions as it was begun. The Sultan's weakness and the anarchy resulting therefrom were prejudicial to every body and especially to France, in Alge- ria. We had to seek a remedy for the intolerable situation without allowing our action to awaken the suspicion of other nations. France does not pretend to abate her interests. or disregard for the interests of others. Thence arose negotiations resulting in agreements proclaiming that France possesses a special standing in Morocco. The Anglo-French treaty recognizes that it is Frances task to assist in opening Morocco to civilization and also that from the economic point of view all na- tions have an equal footing there. The Franco-Spanish agreement confirms
 
 French treaty were immediately com municated to the Sultan; of this fact the issue of the Moroccan loan by France is proof.
 "If France sought a pretext for in tervention. one existed in the disturbed state of the Algerian frontier. How ever. from friendship for Morocco and clear conception of her own interest, France merely pointed out the neces- sity for establishing order The posi- tion we still hold. Resistance of par ties interested in maintaining the pres ent anarchistic condition of affairs leaves no room for Illusion. but that will not modify our policy. Morocco is aware both of our good will and our strength. and also that We do not seek to expand a maturely thought out pro- gram of Moroccan policy It therefore appears that France will succeed in assuring It's future in the western Med iterranean without offending any right or olashing with any interest"

Yasoo City, Miss, Denies Statement of
 the Negro.
 Memphis. Tenn. March 31.---A Com mercia1-Appeal special from Yazoo City says:
 The statement made by a negro. M. J. Hornsby. in his complaint to the White House that he Is prevented from holding a position In the postofice here by reason of maltreatment by white citizens. is strongly discredited here. Hornsby stood the civil service postoffice at a time when two clerk ships were vacant. The examinations were passed by three negroes and one white man and the successful appli- cants were notified by the civil service commission and their names placed on the eligible list. One of the vacan- cies was filled by Lee Cummins. a white man.
 The three negroes were advised by members of their own race not to &C., cept positions in the ofice, even if the positions were rendered them. as their acceptance might prove distasteful to the white residents and possibly cause trouble. Two of the negroes then withdrew their applications. stating that they desired positions as mail car riers, but not as clerks.
 Hornsby applied to Postmaster John P. Bennett for a position as clerk. but later, in writing. withdrew his appli- cation on being warned by white resi- dents that his appointment would not meet with the approval of the white people of the community. At any rate. 1t Is alleged. Hornsby was carrying a loaded revolver and when this was learned, he was instructed to leave town at once or be arrested on the charge of carrying concealed weapons Hornsby immediately left the city. The pistol, it Is said. Is being held for use as evidence against Hornsby should he return to Yazoo City.

Jerome Losing No Time In Case
 Against Smiths.
 New York, March 31.-The District Attorneys office took prompt steps today to ascertain whether J. Morgan Smith. who. with his wife, Julia, was arrested in Cincinnati. could be identi- fled as the man who bought the re- broker, on the night before Caesar Young was killed. Smith is the brother-in-law of Nan Patterson. the show girl accused and about to be tried again on the charge of killing Young An attempt was made in a previous trial of Miss Patterson to prove that Smith bought the revolver with which Young was killed, but the absence of Smith greatly hampered the efforts of the prosecution in that respect.
 Hyman Stern, the pawnbroker. had been asked to go to Cincinnati and try to identify Smith, and 1t was expected he would do so today. He did not do so, however. It was stated at the Dis trict Attorneys office that as Stern did not go to Ohio, Smith would be brought to New York and confronted by Stern for Identification as the man who bought the revolver with which Young was killed. It will be the first oppor- tunity the authorities have had to con- front Smith with the pawnbroker,

 The District Attorneys ofice has been notified that Detective McNaught of that office has secured the reduisi- tion papers from Governor Higgins and has started for Cincinnati after Smith and his wife. The indictment upon which their return is required charges conspiracy. and the papers accompany ing Governor Higginss request for their extradition from Ohio allege they are fugitives from justice in this State.
 Assistant District Attorney Rand says today that when the Smiths left New York a few days after the arrest of Nan Patterson, they were met in Hoboken by J. Randolph Patterson. the father of the show girl. who brought a suIt case filled with Smiths clothing. The Smiths, he said, then disappeared.
 The case of Nan Patterson, the show girl. who is awaiting trial on charge of having murdered Caesar Young, was again before the grand jury yesterday.

Ja,s, Lack of Feeling.

Portland Ore, March 31.-M. Vershi- min, former civil governor of Port Arthur, who is en route to Russia, speaks in the highest terms of Jap anese soldiers. He does not however, attribute their indomitable persever- ance in battle so much to bravery as to lack of feeling. He cities as an illus tration that in battle the Japanese re- peatedly charged over thousands of dead bodies of their dead comrades and witnessed the death of relatives and friends without apparently losing nerve in the slightest degree. This M. Yer shinin says, is an impossibility for any European race.
 M. Vershinin recounted the experi- ences of the Russian garrison at Port Arthur during the siege where for four months an increasing bombardment, both during night and day, wore those in Port Arthur almost to distraction. He remarked the horrible precision of the Japanese artillery, saying that the Japanese seemed familiar with every part of the fortress and placed shells wherever they seemed to desire with the most terrible effect

Terrnriat Activity.

St. Petersburg. March 31.-The au- thorities continue to find evidence of terrorist activity in St. Petersburg and in spite of the precautions of the po- lice another tragedy may occur at any moment. The fighting organization is known to have on it's condemned list thirty persons, headed by Grand Duke Alexis and Governor General Trepoff but the police, although they have ar rested several persons with bombs in in their possession and have taken many suspects into custody, have been completely baffled in their efforts to discover the invisible hand which is directing the campaign of the terror ists.
 The police theory continue to be that the central organizations of those en- gagged in the conspiracies are at Ge- neva and in Paris and that the men ar rested in Russia are agents selected to execute the sentences. When ar rested these agents invariably are true to their oaths aud refuse to divulge anything, no matter to what ordeal they are subjected. g
 Only yesterday the police by chance foiled what Is believed to have been a polt to kill Governor General Trepof,

Reported PrIsoners' Suicides.

St. Petersburg, April 1. G2:20 a. m.) The Bourse Gazette prints a report that number of Japanese prisoners at Medved have killed themselves by harikari and with arsenic. Gossip in some circles in St. Petersburg at tributes the suicides to i'll treatment. The American Embassy has not been advised on the subject. A short time ago at the request of Japan the Elm bassy sent a representative to Medved to investigate complaints by prisoners of war and reported that with the ex- ception of few minor details which the Russian Government undertook to correct, the Russian arrangements were admirable.
