ST. PETERSBURG. Emperor
William's speech at Tangier and

PARIS. Tho Morocco Incident Is
dally making a (lecpur Impression,
and whllt calmness continues to pre
vail, there Is u growing sonso of the
rudenrs of the shock which Emperor
William's visit to Tangier and his
declaration gave toFrench policy.
However, for the present it Is evi
dent that tho purposo Is to ndopo a.
pisslve uttituie and await tho de
voooment of events.' This was
shown by n conference at tne foreign
office between Foreign Minister Del
casso and several deputies who
wished to question him In the
eimmt'or concerning Morocco. The
for Un minister asked for an ad
J 'iirnmont of the quistlon, saying
th're wan nothing t ) add to what he
had already stated In tho senate. Ac
c iidingly tho questions were indefi
nitely postponed. Tho" Temps suvs
that authoritative versions of Em
peror William's remarks at Tangier
makes it useless to deny the "dis
obliging character of such wotds
which constitute almost the max
im ira short of npenly quarreling
wit-i Franco that Emperor -William
II could attempt In order tO bi dls
agree;ihlj." II wever, tho general tone of the
press Is singularly free from belllger
oor or menacing ta k.
PORT MA HON, Island of Min

SI'. PE TERSUURG. The devel
opments resulting from Emporor
William s speech at Tangier
continue to attract great attention
In the press and in diplomatic circles.
The s ibor view Is that tho German
omp ror seized on a favorable oppor
tu n cy 1 1 road France a lesson for
eavtng Germany out of consideration
in the French-British understanding
regar ling M irocco with tho view
possibly of compelling France to
msiko a permanent; renunciation of
her aspirations regarllng Metz ana
Alsace-Lorraine; also with the
practical p'irposo of securing a vote
In the relchstag next fall for a large
naval program. There is no serious
tde thai the Incident may lead to a
cinfllct. With Russia enfeebled,
Franco will have to lo k to Great
Britain n play the role of pro'eclor
assumed by Russia hon Germany
threatened her In 1875, and there Is
a good deal of speculation on tho
su ijoct of the now grouping of the
puwers. The homo papers, however,
declare that while tho British press
may bluster. Great Brltlan, having
secured her quid pro quo In Egypt,
will leave Franco to take care of her
self." The Novoo Vreraya considers the
action of E nperor William to be a
very bold step on the part of Gor
minv as furtnor evidence of her
rivalry with Great Brltlan more
than with Franco The paper char
acterlzes his majesty's proclamation
as a "Teutonic Monroe doctrino
in northern Africa, for the pro
tection IT tho Mussulmans," point
ing nut the manner In which Ger
man commercial Interest are sproid

and the Increase of Germany's, politi

both in France and Great Brltlan,

i
ST. PETES BURG. War Minister
SakarotT, in an interview dcclatos
that tho reports of Russia counter
manding nrdcrs for war uiatorlal
abroad aro baseless and grow out of
tho declination of the foreign oilers
with which tho war otTico and tho
admiralty bavo been swamped. He
insists that there has boen no rela
tion In tho preparations to continue
tho war, but says there will be no
nov mobilization at present, explain
ing, as stated in these dispatches,
that 110,000 troops of tho last
mobilization have already started for
tho front and that Instead of mobil
ising new troops these will be fol
lowed by a portion of this year's
censcripts.
General Sakaroil denied emphati
cally that ho ever intrigued against
Genera' Kutop"tkln, affirming that
ho gavo tho latter the most loyal
support. At tho samo time, in
discussing tho battle or Mukden,
Sakaroil douhued tho men and mat
orlal of tho Russian army were
equal to those the Japanese, foreign
the reluctant conclusion that tho
Japanese generalship was superior to
tho Russians.
In donvlng tho popular Impression
that a largo proportion of army re
servo men were sent to the tho
front. Sakarotf mado the important
admission that reserve mon were
only sent in tho early stages of tho
war, boforo wo had assurances from
Europe," which is interpreted as a
confession that an arrangemont was
mde wlcb Germany for covering the
frontier of Poland.
The announcement that President
R osnvelt has loft Washington on a
vacation trip Is accepted hero as evi
dence, th it the efforts to draw Rus
sian and Japan into pence negotia
tions bare come to grief for the
moment. No definite explanation of
exuctly whit happened is forthcom
ing, but tho general Impression Is
that Japan either declined to treat
upon the Russian basis or demanded
a direct avowal that there waB a
pacific disposition, i At any rate tho
advocates of a continuation of tho
war seems securo of their position
and everything indicates that the
hope of an immediate change of
fortune Is staked on Vico Admiral
Rojestvensky whoso squadron, ac
cording to tho best Information,
is now actually on its way to met the
Jiipancse. The admiralty is groaty
encouraged by the prospects that
Rojestvensky wllll bo able to defeat
Admiral Togo owing to tho splendid
reports which have Just arrived hero
from Rojestvensky dated from tho
Island of Madagascar recounting in
detail the condition of the ships wild
personnel and results of the target
practice of the squadron and or the
rnaneuvers on which the warships
have bo n drilling for three months.
H RrtIN. There Is no truth In a
report that the explosion of a bomb
on Monday in the artillery depart
ment hre killed seventy-fire men.
,GU NSIIU PASS. -A renewal or
fighting Is expected shortly. The
concentration of the Russian army
Is complete with Its advance lines
south of the station of Slpiujhai,
seventy-four miles nortfi of Tie Pass.
Tho Japanse ure screening their
movements well by means of cavalry,
and it is difficult to locate the bulk
or their army. A noay movement
seems to bo in progress on the Rus
sian flanks. The railroad station at
Shangtufu, forty miles above Tio
Pass, Is occupied by Japanese artil
lery, but so far as aacertalnablo It
does not cover a large body of trof bs.
A two-wheeled cart of tho Rhsio

ST. PETERSBURG. Mombors of
tho war party, who aro daggers
drawn with the friends of poaco, are
Industriously inslnuatng that if
Russian dlplomcay is doing any
thing in tho direction of peace, lb i&
without imporlal sanction and is in
reality only an unnlllclal endoavor to
luduco Japan to agree to negoclato
on tho lines of no cession of territory
and no Indemnity and to onablo ad'
vocates of p-ace to point oud to tho
omporcr that pcaco la ptsslblo with
out national humiliation.
To show that the omperor js still
roralcltrant, on the question or pros
ecution of tho war there Is spreading
a story to tho effeot that whon For
olgn Minister LamsdortT, In advocat
ing tho ndvlsiibtl'ty of peace, drew
tho gloomiest picture of tho situation
In the near east, his majesty became
angry and list patience. The por
svorance with which theso stories
aro ropcatod Indlcites beyond doubt
ihat they are circulated with a tic
Hhcrate purp so.
In order to allay the agitation and
discontent ov r the delay in tho
work of tho Buullgan commission
which la charged with formulating
tho reforms of ttio imporlal rescript
of March 3, It Is said that Einpemr
Nicholas has decided to i'sue a re
script tu Interior Minister Boullgan,
on April 8, In which ho will urge the
necessity for exptdltlon and fix an
absolute day for convening the
assembly w h so elect ion will bo pro
vided for by commission.
Finding that It will bo Impossible
to rcpen tho unlvcrslti s this year,
Minister nf Education Glazoff has
proposed to all w tho senl -rs to take
their examinations in order to on
abb them to ( biatn diplomas, but
insisted that this is only possible if
tho minister of the Interior can fur
nish poller protection. M. Glassoff
brought tho question up In tho com
mittee of ministers where his pro
posal was most vigorously opposed
by President Wltto. Prh co Hllko.T
and M. YermatolT, who declurod that
the strike among the students wus
on purely politic il grounds aud'that
if an attempt should be mado to
hold examinations it would he sure
to result in a dcploraolo collision.
Their view was accepted by the
committee.
M. Glassoff opposed tho proposition
for tho rcstoiatlon of tho Polish
larguago to a place In the schools of
Poland, declaring that it is impos
sible to settle that question apart
from tho Polish demand for auton
omy with which it Is bound up.
LONDON. Pi are talk Is preval
ent everywhere, out that uegotla
tlons have commenced is Bt 1 11
positively denied In all official
circles here. Tho foreign office
disci ims even having any know
ledge of pra-o proposnls. It Is quite
eviient, however, that while the
first definite stop may be taken at
uny moment and advance further
than Indicated In the associated
press dlspatcnes may be postpned
Indi finitely.
Baron Ilayasbl, the Japanese
minister, dtclurcd to the Associated
press that he had no information In
regard to the announcement con
tained in tho St. Petersburg dlsp itch
of ti e associated press that Russia
had indirectly made known to Japan
tho negative conditions on which
peace might bo concluded, namely,
no cession of territory and no In
demnity, leaving Japan to determine
whether pence retzotiationB could he
begun upon that basis, but he said
unreservedly that (he terms men
tioned could not even be considered,
nd added:
"A cession of territory and an In
demnity aro tho only points negoti
able as Japan's ante-belluui'demands
pave already been secured by Japan."
M. Taknhashl, tho Japanese special
dnant lal commissioner, in an Inter
view said to tho associated press:
"The waB cost between 4250,000,
900 and $300000 000 the first year,
tnri it is ostlmiltd that will cost
lUCO.OOO.OOO during the present year.
U would lie unprecedented in the
history of gr at wirs that nq Idcm

by the vanquished. Wh In It Is beyond
my province to disc iss terms of
poao't, I cm express my personal
;ipm on 'hat as the war was forced
up in Japan it Is in t liknly that she
will wal o tho right to an idrnnity
