sentiment is universal and it is be-

to China, probably through Minister
Dun, at Toxic, that procrastination in
presenting the terms of settlement is
such that the negotiations will be
abandoned unless closed within a rea-
sonable and definite time. There ars
evidences that Japan is prepared for

The HAyER11L STRIKE.

Haverhill. Mass, Jan. 1.-THE outlook
tonight in the strike situation is hopeful
for a speedy settlement. The action OF
w. w. Spaulding in calling agent
Pomeroy to conference today IS
favorably commented on, and although
ii cannot be learned just what was said
or done, it is generally believed the big
manufacturer will accept the demands
of his employees. In view of this the
other manufacturers will undoubtedly
follow his course and end the strike

Chicago; Jan Nelson Morris has

ment has prohibited ,the Importation

Morton and the fatal asSaulting of Lizzie
Leahy, Norton's paramour. His state

Discriminating Spanish Duties.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 2.-Of1cials
of the state department have about
concluded to make an investigation into
the discriminating duties recently i'm
posed by Spain upon American goods,
and it is not unlikely that the Presi-
dent will very soon issue a proclama-
ton imposing discriminating flag duties
upon Spanish goods imported in Span
ish bottoms. The question has arisen,
however, whether duty levied by Spain
includes all American goods or only
such as is imported in American ships.
1t is presumed the new duty embraces
all American goods, but if it be found
this is not the case, the procedure of
our officials may take a different
course

FIsHBACK's BEQULsTION.
The Circuit Court Refuses to Honor
One For Negro.

Hot Springs, Ark, Jan. 2.-The cir
cult court of Memphis, Tenn, has re-
fused to honor a requisition from Gov
ernor Fishback, of this state, which
has been duly signed by the governor
of Tennessee, for an eX-negro preacher
named o. w. Keith, who is wanted
here for arson and perjury. deputy
sheriff from this county went to Mem
phis after the prisoner, but failed to
braing him back. The negro employed
counsel and set up a, plea that he had
been acquitted of the charge in the
courts here and that the officers of
this county sought to bring him back
here for the purpose of having him
mobbed.
Keith is a shrewd negro and it is
not because of fear of violence that he
resisted the officers and process of the
law, but because he did not wish to
answer in the court here the charge
against him. The authorities will make
another effort to secure him.
