The Only Thing Decided Upon was to Carefully Watch and Sternly Protect American Interests Tn the Celestial Kingdom.

Washington, Dec. 24.@This coun- try's attitude toward what may be an effort on the part of the powers of Europe to dismember China was the principal topic of discussion today at the meeting of the cabinst. All the members were present except Secre- tary Alger, who is at his home.

GREAT BRITAIN'S STRIKE
The Second Attempt to End the Figh
 By Ballot May Succeed

London, Dec. 24.-The second at tempt to end the engineering strugg.e e promises success. The present set of proposals, which have been referred to the men for ballot, are indorsed by the leaders. Those recently re- jected were objected to by the leaders As matter of fact, both schemes for a settlement are virtually the same, but a few phrases are intro duced allowing the union a ststus un der certain circumstances in wage bargaining. This the trades union leaders are bound to accept asr a rea- sonable compromise, as far as it goes, and it is evident that the engineers will support the leaders.
 The employers remain firm on the question of reducing the hours to forty-eight a week, and have already gained every other point. They know they must win on any terms they care to impose. They also know that a settlement will be hastened if they give the mems leaders something they can call concession. It must not be forgotten that the struggle began over the eight hour question.

AMERICANS DEPORTED.
Attention Called to an Act of "Re-
 taliation" in Ontario.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Complain has been made to the bureau of inn migration of the alleged deportation from BeaNerstone, Ont, of ten Amer jean laborers. It is alleged that dha Canadian officials took this step on tn; ground that "retahatory measur5s {" were justified.
 Commissioner Powderly said yester- day that steps have been taken to in vestigate the case, in order to obtain substantial facts to support a diplo- matic negotiation, if such should be found to be necessary. He said that he could not understand the claim that the deportation, if it took place, was taken as a measure of retaliation, for the immigration agents of this coun try have taken no action against the Canadians working in this count y, 8 far as he knew.
 MT Powderly said that some depor- dations have been made in the cases of immigrants crossing the line from Canada, but that the persons affected were foreigners, attempting to evade our alien labor law by stealing into the country through Canada.

Be fore the druggist could say a word she laid the child on chair and fled. There was thick froth on the bsby's lips, and Sachs called an ambulance from Gouverneur hospital.

 The Employers Federation has ann ply Justified its existence. It has fought and beaten the most powerful trades union in the world The pres ent outlook is that the men will be sure to accept the terms referred to them, and the employers will consent to refer the question of the number of working hours to joint commit tee of masters and men, who will carry it comfortably over til sum- mer, by which time the passions aroused by the bitter struggle will have cooled. Work ought to be re- sumed by the beginning of the year.

ED HARRIS GOES FREE.
The Court Decides That His T. -ial
 Was Illegal.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 24.-The supreme court today reversed the judgment of the lower court sentencing Ed Farris to ten years in the penitentiary for cattle stealing, and Farris goes free. The supreme court holds that the pro ceedirgs were illegal because Farris had no preliminary examination, be- ing prosecuted solely on informa ion. Farris was alleged to be a member Of a notorious gang of cattle thieves. He managed to elude the officers here, but was finally arrested in Colorado. His attorney, Hon. w. B. Borah, had such unbounded confidence that he put up a 5000 cash bond out of his own pocket to keep Farris from going to the penitentiary pending the appeal.

 New York, Dec. 24-Fo,lowing close ly upon the heels of the printers, who have been partly successful in the.r demand for a reduction of working time, come the electrotypers and ster- eotypeTs, who made similar demand.

They suggested waiting until April next, 70 enable them to make out a new scale of prices, and to give their custom CTS notice of the change.

IRELAND'S BETRAYAL.
Mir. Dillon Denounces the Former AL
 Hance of the Irish and Liberals.

London, Dec. 24.-The New York Sun announced over year ago the betrayal of Ireland by the abandon ment Of home rule as the first blank in the liberal platform Nobods in England or Scotland was much excit- ed over this demons .ration of poli, icaJ perddy. Even Ireland was only lan- guldly interested, thanks to the de plorable condition whereto the ma tional movement had been reduced by insane, internecine strife.
 The betrayal was formally consum- mated at the recent annual caucus of the liberal federation without a protest. The only excuse for it is that given by Mir. Dillon, the leader of the section still constituting the ma Jority of Irelandis representatives i'm the British parliament, who made a speech at Dublin on Wednesday re- pudiating the alliance with the lib erals. Not long ago such a speech would have been reported fully in the British newspapers. Now it has a paragraph in an obscure corner. The difference is symptomatic
 The only point in the wretched bus mess of interest to Americans is the decision of the Dillonites, which means the indefinite prolongatson of the tenure of office of the troies. Of that fact the state department, as wsal as every chancellerie in Europe, will have to take account.

 Fatally Shot

Macon, Ga, Dec. 24.-A special to the Telegraph from Jeffer.onVille says:
 The citizens of this place were start led last night by a fusilade of pistol shots at the residence of R. L. Califf, where a house party was in progress. The screaming Of women aroused the town, and the whole population gath cred about the scene of the shooting, when it was discovered that three men were lying dead on the parlor floor, and a woman and a girl had been fa- tally shot. Amusement was at its height, when Shaw Griffin, a young man under the influence of liquor, be- came too offensive in his manner tc- ward the young ladies. MT. Califf 1e- monstrated with him and advised h.m to go home. This enraged Griffin, and he drew pistol and began to rave and make threats against his host. Califf, knowing Griffin to be a dan gerous man, prepared himself and CT dered the offender to leave the hcus7. This precipitated fight. Seven shots were exchanged, both principals dropped dead and Clarence Jones, a young man, was also instantly killed, the three men falling within a radius of few feet.
 As soon as the first shot rang out the ladies began to flee for their lives, but before the room was cleared two of their number were fatally wounded Califf fired three shots, one striking Griffin in the right temple and two in the breast. Griffin frd four times, one shot entering Califf's breast, an other struck Clarence Jones in the head. Mrs. Califf was shot in the ab-

And the Coliseum at Chicago
 Lay a Mass of Ruins

Chicago. Dec. 24-A fire tonight de- sfrcved the Coliseum building at Sixty-third and Story Island avenue, in which the democratic national con- yention was held last year.

HE WAS SURPRISED
Pleasant Social Event Last Eveni g at
 the New York Store

Y YeSterday was one of unusual bu tie at the New York store, the employees to the number of sixteen, among whom are several bright and active young ladies, not forgetting in ther multitudinous duties that they must offer a testimonial to their employer. MT. Samuel KorrTck. It so happens that the gentleman is. ons of those. genial fellows, and as matter of course a member of the Benevolentt1 Protective of Elks, in fact, of the local lodge, No. 335. Manager c. Levi and his associates conceived the happy idea of presenting to MT. Kollick an elk's tooth, which the jeweler had tastily mounted in gold as watch charm. So anxious were the clerks ho execute their designs upon MT. Kor- rick that they hurried bus ness through and when all were prepared to retire from their labor and say, Merry Christmas" all around, Manager Levi called everybody front" including Mr. Korrick. In a few timely remarks Mir. Levi, on behalf of the clerks, handed the neat charm to the pro prietor of the New York store. That gentleman was so greatly surprised that words utterly failed him. With a gracious bow he simply murmured the words, q thank you," adding the usual compliments of the season, q wish you all merry Christmas" Af- ter the interesting event there was general hamdshaking, followed by the retirement of all to their homes, with visions of big turkey dinner today.
