A Liberal Upper.

The Kaiser Wilhelm III arrived at
New York yesterday with the startling
news that several of its stewards had re-
fused to take tips from passenger.
They had received so many tips and
such big ones from young tourist that
they admitted they we're ashamed TO
take any more. The passenger gave
away $4,000 francs (sS, S,OOO) on the
voyage. He used to give a lO0-franc
tip, equal to $40, to the steward Who
brought him bottle of wine. He was
so anxious to get rid Of his money that
on several occasions be lighted cigars with
franc notes. The passenger was so iull
of enthusiasm over having broken
gambling bank in Paris the night before
he sailed from Cherbourg that he gave
$50 to the deck hands of the tender
which carried him to the steamship OIL
the breakwater. Stewards fell over one
another at bis beck and nod. he gave
a steward $40 for dropping an extra
piece of sugar into his coffee. The pas
sengers had list yard long as to the
many tips that the man gave. Several
of the passengers protested against his
prodigality. rhey said that they. could

Japan to be Peacemaker 2

That Japan is prepared to step into
China and preyen; or crush any up
rising against Americans or other foreign
residents was a rumOr which gained
general circulation in official Washing
ton yesterday. The story bad it that
assurances of Japan's willingness to un-
dertake the task had been formally
transmitted to p. e,i3cnt Roosevelt.
The situation in China, admitted to
be critical, has been engaging the atten-
ton of the War and State Department
officials recently, and preparations to
meet the dreaded uprising with force Of
arms have been quietly progressing.
According to the rumor given no little
credence yesterday, correspondence with
Japan, under instructions from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has been in progress for
some weeks, with the result that japan
has signiftd her willingness at the
proper moment to exert all the influence
at her command to put down the con-
templated uprising of Chinese.

The Algeciras Conference.

Some exchanges of suggestions be-
tween Germany and other governments
regarding the Algeciras negotiations are
proceeding, although there is really no
expectation OF an agreement. The view
of The German foreign office is that ii
France intended to insist on paramount
position in Morocco, why did she take
part in the conference.
If Germany should now agree to give
over Morocco to France, the efforts Of
years would lie iruitless, aud long
period of unrest in European stfiirs, it
is believed, would begin, the issue of
which no oae ventures to predict. 1t is
likened in official quarters, however, to
the eriod from 1866 to 1870, when the
economic life If the principal continent
al countries was disturbed continuously
bv fears and rumors Of wars. The dis
solution Of the Algeciras conference,
while not in itself the cause of war talk,
will certainly be succeeded by revival
of mutual distrust between France and
Germany.
Sus ,icion was aroused in Berlin yes-
terday by the news from ialla Marina,
Province OF Orau, Algeria, that the
Moorish pretender, Blu Hamars, is as
sembliug the independent tribes for a
foray agai-st towns near the Algerian
frontier. As the pretender is considered
to be fully controlled by the French,
his activity at this moment is disquiet-
ing, as indicating that France has re-
sumed her forward policy in Morocco.
The reports circulating i'll European
capitals that crisis has been reached
al Algeciras are not warranted by the
actual conditions in that city. The ne
gotiations on the police and finance
questions are proceeding uninterrupted
ly. but have reached bedrock point,
on which neither the French nor Ger
man delegates show any disposition to
yield. This frmness on both sides has
caused some apprehension of an event
usl deadlock, but the delegates, so long
as the negotiations continue, will not
admit that crisis has been reached.
Inquiry yesterday among the Ameri-
can and other delegates show ed that they
are confident of successful result.
The delegates depreca.e the alleged
attempts Of the German press to per-
suade the public that if the conference
fails it will be the fault of France and
Great Britain.

Stories of Desperate Battling at Ohio

entrance, that the strikers were drink
ing and gathering for an attack, have
dwindled with dawn to bit of desul-
tory shooting in the hills.
The source of these shots the union
officials are trying to learn, as they
publicly discountenance all violence
on the part Of their men. A volley
was fred from the hollow east of the
tipple about nine o'clock Thursday
night. One Of the big searchlights
was turned that way, but the men
with the guns were successfully con-
cealed. Work was resumed Friday
without mishap. The non-union men
entered the pits early before the strik-
ers were astir.

Kansas City Court Discharges George
II. Crosby in Relating Case.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 26.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson, in the United States
district court here Friday morning,
sustained the demurrer to the indict-
ment against George H. Crosby,
freight traffic manager of the Burling-
ton railway, charged with conspiracy
to grant rebates on freight shipments
from the east to Missouri points.
Judge Mcpherson sustained the claim
that the government in the present
trial had failed to present sufficient
evidence to show conspiracy and
discharged the defendant.
After the Crosby decision arguments
were begun on the demurrer to the
indictments against George L. Thorn
as. the New York freight broker, and
his chief clerk, L. B. Taggart, on trial
with Crosby, for alleged conspiracy.
The cases against Crosby, Thomas
and Taggart were combined for con-
venience. The case against Crosby is
distinct from that against the Burling-
ton railway, which is charged with
granting rebates to packers on export
freight rates. A demurrer to this in
dictment was denied by Judge Nc
Pherson here on May %, and the trial
of the Burlington was set for May 81,
in Kansas City.

from the northeast early Saturday and
as result the Sunrise and the John

to the heavy sea running nothing
could be done. It was believed that
the waves would wreck the two vessels.
The wind reached high velocity here
and considerable damage was done.

OF the awful storm last November
were revived when the life saving crew
was called on to rescue seven firemen
from the steamer Mataafa, from which
nine men were drowned last fall.
operations have been in
progress for several weeks on the
steamer and Friday seven men were
left aboard the vessel to keep the
pumps going. The gale increased Fri
day night and the waves swirlsd over
the vessel, putting out the fires and
placing the men In peril. So high
were the seas Saturday morning that
the wrecking tugs could not approach
the vessel and the life savers were
summoned. The life boat was
launched and the men taken of safely.
