Special Gable Dsspatch TO THE Sun.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-Tho conference between
the representatives Of the Employers Fedora
tion and the Amalg amated Society OF Engineers
for the purpose of arranging some settlement of
the long strike in the engineering and allied
trades was continued to-day. The entire session
was devoted. as was the case yesterday. to dis
cussion OF the engineers amendment to the en-
ployers' resolution declaring their freedom Of
action in the management Of their workshops.
Neither side at first showed any disposition to
make concessions to tho other, but eventually
the representatives OF the engineers accepted
the following resolution from the employers:
The federated employers. while di%sa
any intention Of interfering with the proper
functions OF the trades unions. will admit OF no
interference in the management of their bust
ness. and reserve to themselves tho right to in.
troduce in federated workshops, at the option
OF the employer concerned. any condition Of
labor under which any member of the trades
unions hero represented was working at the
commencement Of the dispute. Nothing in the
foregoing shall be construed as applying to the
normal hours Of work or to the general rise or
fall in wages"
The men sought to insert in the resolution the
trades. societies and the Employers Fedora
ton. instead OF at the option of the employer
concerned. but the employers negatived this,
whereupon the men accepted the resolution as
originally drawn. subject to II discussion of
the details and a vote by the members of the
unions.
The conference will discuss the remaining
points on Tuesday. to which day tho meeting
was I'D iourned.

BIG COTTON STRIKE THREATENED.

trnte on the Proposed Cut.
Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON, Nov. GA count Of the ballots cast
in a majority Of tho cotton-spinning districts of
Lancashire shows an overwhelming majority
against the proposal OF the manufacturers to sub.
init the wage question &c Nrbitration, and a gen.
eral strike now seems inevitable. A month ago
the employers declared that the exigencies of
the trade demanded a reduction of 8 per cent.
in wages, asserting that without q reduction of
expenses their business could not be continued
at a profit. The leaders of the operatives
unions opposed this measure and suggested
q curtailment of production as n remedy
for tho commercial situation. The employ
ers had proposed at first q reduction Of
10 per cent, which, they declared, was
necessary to mako production yield any
profit. but their agreement with the operatives
unions forbade more than a 5 per cent. reduce
ton. and this rate was therefore fixed by tho
masters. The spinners and weavers refused to
accept the cut, and the employers proposed that
the question be submitted to arbitration.
TIL vote Just taken shows that the proposal
to arbitrate has met with little favor, and IL tho
cotton masters are equally firm in their inton-
ton to impose the 5 per cent. reduction, II 10 inn
possible to see how a general strike. involving
200, 600 operatives and paralyzing the greatest
industry Of the empire, can be averted.

Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-Thc Colonial Office has re-
ceived a telegram from Lagos, West Africa, re-
porting a native rumor Of a collision between
the French and British forces ut Nlkki, In tho
Lagos hinterland, which. it is said, was cap
turcd by the French. %
The Same rumor has been received in Paris
and Berlin. but is generally discrcdited, as It is
known that the French have occupied Nikki for
months. The lingo papers are ablaze. but from
the best information obtainable the situation
remains as described in tho cable dispatches
published by THE SUN on Nov. z.
The special cable despatch to THE SUN re-
ferred to said:
the situation between Great Britain and Franco
in reference to West Africa has suddenly

Tnniss . ssysTSi weeks vel. m ago; tB before the

This cry, when raised two years ago, melted
france to pursue II counter aim. which may be
described as From Senegal TO- the Egyptian
months ago that the French expedition
began moving from the west to the east.
Or course, the two paths of national ambition
crossed, and now each side is seeking to
confront tho other with accomplished facts.
there is no longer any desire on the part OF
either Government to base q controversy
thereon. Even a collision between rival eN-
petitions would not have serious conse.
Guences. and tho whole dispute i" certain to
have an amicable adjustment between Paris
and London. The terms of this adjustment,
which. there is good reason to believe, have
been agreed upon already, have not been made
known. but 1t will almost certainly prove that
France Is q substantial gamer thereby"

that Carlsbad Water in a high

Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-The results received to-day
of the London School Board election. which took
place yesterday, show that the Progressives
won a decisive victory. The platform Of the
Progressives aims at the Improvement Of ele.
mentary education, and afirms a disregard of
religious controversy. The Moderates, who
were badly defeated. advocated economy in the
school rates and the observance of a system OF
religious teaching in accordance with the laws
of the Church of England. A great many cleo
tors who were formerly Moderates kept aloof
from the polls yesterday, having become dis
gusted at the Introduction of the religious ques-
ton into the contest.
The board consists of f~fty-fve members. The
returns thus far received show the election of
20 Progressives, % Moderates. and 4 Indepen-
dents. whose sympathies are mainly with tho
Progressivcs.
