PLUCKY TAYLOR.
Will Have New Oil Mill to Handle
the Seed OF the Coming CrOp.

the Seed Of the Coming Crop. =
Taylor, Tex, May 1S.-(Special)- Inas!e
much as it has been announced that the
National Oil Mill company of New York
had abandoned the project of establish
ing a cottonseed oil mill at Taylor,
meeting of the capitalists and represen-
tative business men of Taylor was held
at the Taylor National bank yesterday
with a view toward securing for this city
a mill capable of handling the seed of
the coming crop of this section. Hon.
George w. Burkitt of Palestine, presi
dent of the Taylor Water company, was
present and stated that terms had been
agreed upon between the water company
and the oil mill people for an adequate
supply of water at acceptable rates, and
that he was willing to subscribe liber
ally towards securing for Taylor this or
any other mill which could be put in
operation for handling the seed of the
coming cotton crop; that Taylor needs
one mill, but not two. Others present
expressed themselves as willing to sub
scribe, and all seemed enthusiastic for
a new mill. AS result of the meeting,
9. II. Booth, vice president of the Tay-
Tor National bank, was instructed to
write to the National Oil Mill company
and secure, if possible, an ultimatum as
to what that company proposes to do in
the premises. In case the National COM
pany has decided not to build at Taylor
then the capitalists of this city will or
ganize and begin at once to put in a
plant here of sufficient tonnage to handle
the seed of the coming crop of cotton.
The old Taylor oil mill was destroyed
by fire last fall and will not likely be
rebuilt

Washington, May 1S.-Secretary Sher-

government through Sir Julian Pauncet

United States having failed to ratify the
treaty providing for general arbitration,
that document has failed
The secretary was unable formally to
inform Sir Julian of the reasons why
the senate had rejected the treaty; in
deed. he is in the dark himself in the
matter. for he has no notice save the
statement of the vote in the senate, of
which he must take cognizance. Of
course it is actually known to all parties
just why the treaty is objected to, but
the absence of official objects prevents
any attempt being made to meet the OBJ
jections in an amended treaty.

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.
The Strikers Are Organized for a
Big Fight-Signs of Spreading.

The Strikers Are organized 1Or u
Big Fight-Signs of Spreading.
New York, May 1S.-Meyer Schoenfeld
has assumed the leadership of the strik-
ing tailors here. Joseph Barondess is
said to be in Philadelphia where another
big strike is in progress.
The progressive tailors, numbering
$500, have not vet joined the strikers.
A delegation of the strikers will 60 to
Newark and there urge the fraternity to
quit work tomorrow morning. The con-
tractors. according to Schoenfeld, show a
disposition to take sides with the strikers
with the object of forcing the manufac-
turers to pay better prices.
1t is rumOred today that the state
board of arbitration would use its offices
for the purpose of adjusting the present
difficulty.
At a conference tonight of committees
representing the United Brotherhood of
Tailors and the Progressive Tailors, it
was decided that the latter, numbering
$500. should strike in the morning.
Leader Schoenfeld, who presided, said
he anticipated a general strike tomorrow
or Thursday, involving at least $4,000
More than 400 contractors met tonight
and after protracted discussion of the
situation decided to appoint a committee
to confer with the strike leaders. This
is considered an indication that the con-
tractors are willing to take sides with
the strikers in the matter of forcing the
manufacturers to pay higher prices, thus
enabling the contractors and middle men
to pay better wages.
At meeting of hatmakers tonight it
was decided 20 formulate a new price
list and ask for a reduction in the hours
of labor.
1t is reported the shirtmakers are con-
templating strike.

HohenIohe's Frau Foundation.

London. May 1S.-The Berlin cores
pondent of the Times says:
The debate in the rechstag on the bill
amending the law of public meetings and
associations has thrown into striking re-
lief the dangerous situation into which
the Hohenlohe ministry has been be-
guiled. BY its endeavor to stand well
with both the reactionary and progress
i've elements the ministry has brought
about an embryo conflict between Prus-
STA and the empire, and disastrous re-
suits can now be obviated only by the
total rejection of the measure in the i'm
perial diet.

Views of Austria and Russia.

Vienna, May 1S-The semi-officia
Fremdenblatt makes a statement today
which is regarded as outlining the views
of Austria and Russia on the eastern sit
uation as developed by the extravaganza
demand of Turkey, supported apparently
| by Germany. 1t says:
| "By selecting PharsalOs as the place
TO discuss the peace negotiations, the
| Turkish government appears to be de-
sirous of eluding the intervention of the
powers. In fact, the Turkish govern
ment is under II misapprehenslon as 10

mon which Europe has laid stress and
which Austria ard Russia in the plain
est terms have declared to be the basis
of their policy, is far from meaning that

nrably exaggerated. Europe can not as

it be brought about by Il continuance OF

In short. the intervention of Europe in

vailed in Turkey"

Domokos will go far to satisfy the Turk
sh war party.
An order telegraphed to Edhem Pasha
to cease hostilities probably indicates
that the Turkish government is about to
yield to the demands Of the powers. 1t
is further stated that the porte is now
disposed TO enter upon negotiations to
bring about permanent peace with Greece
upon terms less onerous than those which
have been heretofore demanded.
There Is no confirmation here of the
report of disturbances mt Athens, though
no doubt there are grounds to fear pop
ular manifestation.

placed her interests in the hands of the

sALIsBURY's STATEMENTS.
Says There Are Serious Difficulties
Yet to he Faced.

London, May 1S.-Speaking tonight at
the Junior Constitutional club, Lord
Salisbury touched briefly on the compli
cations in southeastern Europe.
The premier said he regretted that
political reasons precluded him from say
ing much on the subject of foreign at
fairs. The armisticc which had been
declared was due to pressure exerted by
six powers, especially Russia. 1t was
very important step, giving time for re-
Election and negotiation, but it did not
seriously diminish the difficulties when
had to be faced.
Neither Turkey nor Greece ought to be
under an illusion as to the real state OF
feeling in the United Kingdom. He had
mentioned both countries, he said, be,

Continuing, his lordship referred to the
sympathies of England for Greece,
founded upon classic association, liberal
ism in politics and community of re-
ligious conviction, as well as upon other
influences, but such considerations as
these, he said. could not be suffered to
guide the policies of nations, for their
policy was to maintain peace by the strict
observance of international engagements.
