STATEMENT OF SECRETARY OF
STATE OLNEY
Regarding Assertions That Only the
British Flag is Respected
in Turkey.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2S.-Secretary
Olney gave to the United-Associated
Presses to-day the following: THE
State Department authorizes the state
ment that the assertion made by DIR.
Cyrus Hamlin that American women in
Haskeui fed from the massacre, not
finding protection under the American
flag, is an entire mistake; that the flag
was neither furled nor insulted at that
point, and that not an American man,
woman or child was at Haskeui during
the massacre.
Equally unfounded is the statement
recently made in Chickering Hall by
DR.. Grace Kimball that only the Eng
lish flag is respected in Turkey. Dur
ing the massacre at ConStantinople she
hurried by other flags and found pro-
lection under her own flag and the es-
cort of the American Consul General.
She passed through the streets where
men were being killed by mobs and
went safely under our flag up the Bos-
phorus.
Through scenes of mob violence all

stantinople were made public, en-

tion from Secretary Olney, now that

GREAT DOCK LABORERS' STRIKE.
1T HAS LITTLE CHANCE OF BEING
SUCCESSFUL.
Opinion Expressed by the Secretary
of the international Trades
Union Congress.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-Samuel
Woods, Secretary of the Trades Union
Congress and ex-member OF Parliament,
accompanied by John Madison, Presi-
dent of the Trades Union Congress. and
a leader of the British labor world ar
rived here to-day on the Cambria. They
came as delegates to the congress from
the trades unions of Great Britain.
Mr. Woods was asked about the great
dock strike which is now agitating the
seaboard cities of the world, particular
ly in Germany. He said that he did
not know much about 1t; that he was
on the water when the strike broke out.
He made no denial however that the
agitation had been in progress some time
before the strike broke out, and made
the statement that he did not think it
would be successful. That was his own
private opinion.
Coming from such a man in the labor
world as Mr.. Woods. this remark would
indicate that the expectation of a
strike in this country of the longshore-
men whom James MeHugh organized
VIII not be realized.
Mr.. Woods said that ne and Mr.. Mall
ison came here not as representative of
any section of trade, but congress OF
trades. There was. he said, no politics
In the labor party. With them 1t was
labor before politics. although he ad-
mitted that in the House of Commons
there were eleven district labor leaders.
Fifty Justices in Great Britain were
trades union leaders. and forty county
and district Councilmen had also been
appointed or elected to office by the di-
rect influence of labor. Not a town Of
10000 in all of Great Britain was un-
represented In the Town Council by la
bor advocates.
Messrs. Woods and Madison repre-
sented as delegates OF the great labor
unions of England over 800 different
trades, whose membership amounted to
one and a quarter million Of people.
The trades unions OF Great Britain. it
seems to me-" said Mr. Woods, ..are q
most important factor in the regulation
of wages. hours and political influence.
They are stronger over there than they
are here
Asked regarding his attitude on
strikes. Mr. Woods said. II believe In
strikes only as a last resort. Arbitra-
tion 1 am opposed to. because / do not
believe that an outsider. by casting q
vote can help out two bodies that cam
not agree among themselves. Strikes
are good" ne concluded, 'if everything
else fails. but every eeyort should be

bury, the Bishop Of Rochester. and
other eminent English churchmen have
written letters of sympathy with the
movement. The elimination Of all re-
ligious or political polemdcs from the
congress accounts for the support
Of the action by English pre-
'lates. The programme cannot exclude
all controversial matter, but all sub
jects are, it is understood. to be treated
on a broad Christian basis. The Lori
Mayor will give the delegat tes, lay and
clerical, who will come from all parts of
the United Kingdom, a reception at the

Silently, If not secretly, the English
Government has raised the forces at
the Cape of Good Hope from under
1000 to 5000 men. The ordinary force
at the Cape was a battalion of infantry
and detachment Of artillery. Since the
Boer troubles broke out, drafts from
India, supposed to be going home, have
gradually been stopped at the Cape,
and number of them have been sent
on to Natal
The Transvaal Government is restless
and concerned under this increase Of
British preparations which are ostensi-
bly, based on the necessity of meeting
contingencies in Rhodesia. The rela-
tions between the Boer Government and
England are practically those Of con-
tinuous mutual distrust and latent en-
nifty.

WHEAT GOING UP.
Reaches the Highest Point for the
Year at New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The wheat
market made another record for itself
for the year to-day by opening of De-
cember options at 91h or IA points
above the closing price of yesterday.
All of the early news was of a bullish
character The foreign cables were
better, showing advances of a penny
on all active options. This of itself
would have acted as a tonic on the To-
cal and Chicago markets, but it was
supplemented by the further news that
the Argentine shipments were unex-
pectedly small, aggregating only 49,
600 bushels.
From the West came the information
that the severe weather in the North
west had forced material decrease in
the movement, and the receipts showed
a marked failing off. In addition to this
it was reported that three cargoes of
wheat had been taken at San Francisco,
one for shipment to Cape Town, Africa,
and two to Australia.
With such news on hand before the
opening, sharp advance was to be
expected. The opening price for De-
cember at 911a and for May at 9OA was
improved upon shortly after the OPEN
ing by bids and sales of one-eighth
higher but that was the high water
mark for the day. Z.
The great advance since the close of
the previous Saturday has made the
profit side Of the account in the case OF
many traders altogether too alluring to
be resisted, and the desire to realize
caused heavy lines of long stock to be
thrown over, in spite of the general
bullish news and sentiment. This selling
movement was too strong to be checked
and decline followed. The decline was
sharp and steady and the price of both
December and May at the close was at
the exact quotation of yesterdays clos
ing. 1t is generally conceded that the
selling was for profit only, and that the
bearish element did not participate to
any noticeable extent.
