ONLY ONE LOOPHOLE OPEN Appeal Court Hcfuios to Reverse Trial Jud?e, Who Said Offense ot Extraditable More Is Cast Down by Failure. NEAV YORK. Nor. Bail was denied C. V. Morse. th financier, who has ben Bntnr1 to l- years Imprisonment at hard labor, at the closing of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals today, and it now teems certain that the former muUi-mllUonalre must remain in the Tombs prison at least until December 3. next, when argument on the writ of error that has been (rranted him may come up. Judges Jjacombe. Ward and Cox of the t'mted States Court of Appeals rendered the decision late today. One loophole is left open to Morse's counsel in the decision and that Is that the judges decided that, while hall was denied, it was done "without prejudice to a renewal of the application after a bill of particulars is filed." The judges stated briefly, that as the trial Judge in the proceedings against Morse had refused to admit him to ball, the reviewing; Judges were not prepared, on the papers submitted to them, to make a disposition of the motion. Morse had been hopeful Of gaining his release from the Tomos today and the dental of bail came as a hard blow. His wife and son. Harry, had been wUh him In the jail during the afternoon and en couraged him in the belief that he would be free by nightfall. .Mrs. Morse and her son left the prison before the decision had been rendered and the nws was con vyed to the prisoner by an associat tn his counsel's trice. ' While Morse tried to hi tie his disap pointment, he felt too cast down to do so. lie walked to the rear of his cell and sat on the edge of his .hard, narrow berth and refused to make any comment. Judge Hough gave as his reason for re fusing to admit Morse to bail, that the case was not an extraditable one and that It would be easy for Morse to provide ball through a bonding company, as the prisoner was worth $.,000.0). Morse, in an affidavit presented to the Judges of the Court' of Appeals yesterday, denied that he was a millionaire, saying that he had not enough money or securities to meet his obligations. It is said that the Morse attorneys will file a hill of particulars, as Morse is ex ceedingly desirous of obtaining his release. SHOW ANGER AT KAISER ffontlnued fmra Firm P..) ances with referenda to Great Britain and th excitement and regret aroused thereby tn Germany will. I am convinced, lead the ' Kmper-ir tn future private conversations to exer.-i, that reserve, which, in the Inter cut of a uniform policy and the authority of the crown, is Indispensable. If this provea not to ie so. neither I nor any of my successors could take the re sponsibility. I accepted the blame for the puhMcatlon of the article in the Dally Telegraph and offered my resignation and it was the most difficult task In my politi cal life to resolve to remain In office. How Ion 1 will continue there I do not know, but I consider It my duty at this difficult period to continue to aerve the Emperor and the nation. Lihrral Leader's Assault. Herr HMwrmann, a National Liberal, opened the debate. He expressed a hearty desire for the continuance of friendly relations with foreign coun tries, and said that he believed a very small proportion of the German people was unfriendly to Great Britain. The personal element In foreign politics was dangerous, he declared, and the hlRlier a. man stood the greater care he should take of bis utterances. A re sponsible ofaclnl should examine his remarks. The National Liberals did not desire tile resignation of Chancellor von Buelow. but they did want the elimi nation of the personal element from the conduct of foreign' affairs, as Its continuance was bound to bring fail ure. Herr Bassrruiann recited ' the evil efTects of the Emperor's utterances, lie said that China. Japan and America had taken note of the fact that the German fleet had ren authoritatively described as for action on the Pacific. The Japanese press had been in an up roar over this declaration. Great Brit ain had been stirred to greater naval preparations, and Germany's relations had become worse with wellnigh all the principal powers, but especially with France. Russia. Great Britain and Japan. Mnst Kntl Personal Element. There ought to be an end to Imperial personal policies and Interference with the responsibilities of the Chancellor, such as had been manifested recently in the Tower-Hill and the Tweedmouth affairs. Practically the entire German repl was of one mind concerning the ruinous effects of direct imperial inter ference In the foreign affairs of the na tion. Loai monarchists could only re gret that damage had been done the monarchical principle, especially at a time when a strong republican party had grown up. This statement was greeted with applause from the Social ists. Plerr Bassermann said: Not Hostile to Britain. The Emperor u very badly Infurmed when be aaya that the tierrrmn people, are hostile to Grent Britain. It has been affirmed a hundred times in this bouse that our fleet t not aimed at Great brltaln. that it la solely a defensive precaution for the pro tection of our coast, our merchant marine ar.J our ports. 1H have never beard before, we who passed the naval programme, that the fleet was Intended for action in the Pa cine in furtherance of a world policy. This statement must be absolutely denied, along with the other Imperial utterance'. Tbe publication of this, imperial declara tion is not the worst feature of the incident. 1: is the fact that these opinions are held and passed from mouth to mouth. No one kaoma how many similar conversations with forelrners repose among the archives of other governments. They ail are In contra ver.lton of article 17 of the constitution. ' which provides that imperial act In foreign affairs must ba countersigned by the Chan cellor. Must Guard Constitution. In conclusion. Herr Bassermann said that the NaUonal i-iberals did not de mand the resignation of Chancellor von Buelow. hut they did insist upon some sort of gmrantee that the Chancellor would guard his constitutional preroga tives and resist unconstitutional Inter ference from the Emperor. The party was loyal to the Kmperor and knew that he had been actuated only by good motives, but It deplored tk possibility of a chasm between the sovereign and the people and sincerely hoped that this incident would be the beginning of a strict observance of constitutional rela tions. Herr 'Wiemer, radical, followed and said In part: "We regret greatly the Incident over the appointment of David J. Hill to the post of American Ambassador In Berlin, tend ing as It .did to disturb the- good rela tions between the United States and Ger many. It was well said, on the other side of the ocean, that our representa tives abroad shall not be checkbooks, but men." x Would Have Tried Any Other Man. This statement brought out applause. Herr Singer. Socialist, declared that Ger many had sunk low in foreign opinion through the incapacity and levity of per sons In responsible places. In the con stitutional system of Germany, the King was the first servant of the state, he de clared, and if another servant of the state, had done such a thing as has Emperor William, he would be brought before an Imperial court for trial. The speaker ex plained that he referred to the trial for treason of Professor Oeffkcn. for publish ing the diary of Frederick III. Herr Sing er's speech was greeted by Socialist ap plause. - Chancellor von Buelow then made his speech in reply as already quoted. Herr von Heyderbrandt and Prince Hatifeldt. Conservatives, and Baron von Hertllng. a member of the Center party, took part In the debate and protested energetically against the personal element being Injected iruo foreign politics. Doubts Kaiser's Reform. Herr Lelbermann von Sonnenberc. the Agrarian and Anti-Semite, surprised the hou.se by the vehemence of his utter ances. He declared that the monarchists, with heavy hearts, found themselves compelled to protest firmly against tho Emperor's statements. The nation's con fidence, he said, had sunk to zero. "We do not believe." he continued, "that the Chancellor can take the respon sibility, or that the future will bring any real improvement. The Improvement will last only until the next time. Evidence exists that there Is further material In foreign hands for use when the occasion calls." The house adjourned nntll tomorrow, and when the Chancellor departed the crowds outside the doors cheered and hooted him. INTERVIEW CACSE OP STORM Kaiser Denounces England for Dis trust of Her Proved Friend. The interview with an unnamed Eng lishman, which has caused a storm of criticism of the Kaiser, was given by the Kaiser for the purpose of proving that. Instead of being hostile, he is frlandlv to Great Britain, and was pub lished in the Loncfon Telegraph. It caused Chancelor von Buelow to offer his resignation, which the Emperor de clined. The Interview Is made up of the usbstance of various conversations, and was published by the Emperors per mission. In it he said: Ton English are mad. mad. mad as March hares. What has come over you that you are so completely given over to suspicions quite unworthy of a greut na tion? What more can 1 do than I have done I declared with all the emphasis at my command. In my speech at Guildhall, that my heart Is set upon peace, and that It is one of my dearest wishes to live on the best of terms with England. Have I ever been false to my word? Falsehood and prevarications are alien to my najure. My actions ought to speak for themselves, but you listen not to them, ubt to those who misinterpret and distort them. That Is a personal Insult, whl, h I feel and re sent. To be forever misjudged, to h-ive my repeated offers of frlenilshlp welched and scrutinised with Jealous, mlstrunful eyes, taxes mv patience severely. I have said time after time that I am a friend of England, and your press or. a: least, a considerable section of it bids the people of England refuse my proffered hand, and Insinuates that the other, hoids a dagger. How can I convince a nation against Its Admits Germans Hostile. I repeat that I am the friend of Eng land, but you make things difficult for me. Mr task Is not of the easiest. The pre vailing sentiment among large sections of the middle and lower classes of niy own people is not frl-ndly to England. I am. therefore, so to speak. In a minority in my own land, but It Is a minority of the best elements. Just as it Is In Ensland wiin respect to Germany. That Is another rea son why I resent your refusal to accept my pledged word that I am the friend of Eng land. I strive without ceasing to Improve relations, and you retort that I am y.iur arch enemv. You make it very hard for me. Why is it? German Action in Morocco. "Therefore." savs the Interviewer, "I ven tured to remind His Majesty thst not Kns Isnrl alone, but the whole of Europe had viewed with disapproval the recent action of Germany In allowing the German Consul to return from Tangier to Fes. and In an ticipating the Joint action of France and Spain by suggesting to the. Powers that the time had come for Europe to recognize Mulev Hafld as the new fiuitan or Morocco. His MaJestV made a gesture of Impatience. Yes,' he said, 'that Is an excellent exam ple of the sir In which German action Is misrepresented.' " The Kaiser Is then quoted as saying that the German Consul was sent to Fez to look afteh the interests of Ger man subjects who had cried for protec ready been at Fez several months; that Muley Hafld had notified the powers of his acceptance of the Algeclras treaty before he won the decisive battle with Abdul Aziz, and that therefore Ger many considered it unnecessary to await a second communication before recognizing him as Sultan. When re minded that an Influential section of the German press had hailed this rec ognition of Muley Hand as a decisive indication that Germany was about to intervene In Morocco, the Kaiser at trlbuttd this to mischief-makers, and ssld there had been nothing In Ger many's recent actions regarding Mo rocco contrary to his declared love of peace. The Interviewer says the Emperor then reverted to his proved friendship for England, and quotes him as saying: Saved Britain in Boer War. I have referred to the speeches In which I have done all that a sovereign can to proclaim my good will. But. as actions speak louder than words, let me also refer to my acts. It Is commonly believed In England that throughout the Houth African war Germany was hostile to her. '.rman opinion undoubtedly was hostile bitterly hostile. The press was hcstlle: private opinion was hostile. Hut what of official Germany? Let my critics ask themselves what brought to a sudden stop. and. indeed, to absolute collapse, the European tour of the Hoer delegate who were striving to obtain European intervention ? They were feted in Holland; France gave theni a rap turous welcome. They wished to come to Merlin, where the German people would have crowned them with flowers. But when they asked me to receive them I re fused The agitation immediately died away, and the delenatlon returned empty handed. Was that. I ask. the action of a aecret enemy? 4 , Again, when the struggle was at Its height, the German government was invited by the governments of France and Russia to Join with them In calling upon Kngland to nut an end to the war. The moment had come they said, not only to save the. Boer republics, but also to humiliate Eng land to the dust. What was my reply? I ssUd that so lax from Germany Joining In any concerted European action to put nressure upon England and bring about her downfall. Germany would always keep aloof from politics that could bring her into com plications with a sea power like England. Posterity will one day read the exact terms of the telegram now In the archives of Windsor Castle In which I Informed the sovereign of England of the answer I had returned to the powers which then sought to wmpas. br fall.

If England is not in the minds of those Germans who are bent on creating a powerful fleet, why la Germajiy asked to consent to such new and hfavy burdens of taxation V My answer is clear. Germany Is a young and growing empire. She has a worldwide commerce, which I" rapid! v expanding, and to which the legitimate ambition of patriotic Germans- refuse to assign any bounds. Ger many must have a powerful fleet to pro tect that commerce, and her manifold in terests in even the most distant seas.

The Interview was coldly received In England, where the Emperor's famous telegram to the Boer President is re membered. In Germany, it has created consternation and indignation. It seems that the Emperor, as was proper, sent it to Von Buelow. who sent it to the Foreign Bureau. But the Emperor, Van Buelow and the Minister of For eign Affairs were all absent in differ ent diiections for a holiday, and It went lo a subordinate, who did not dare to otter and criticism of the Emperor's action, but simply did his duty In cer tifying to the correctness of the his torical settements made. .It then came back to Von Buelow with other docu ments, and his secretary did not call mo mieniion to its Important nature, and Von Buelow did not read It till It appeared In print.
