THE CHINESE LOAN.
Its Conclusion Delayed by Fresh Demands
by England.


Pekin, January 19.-The Tsung-Li-
Yamen ,,he Chinese foreign Officer has
had another conference on the subject
Of the loan which is still Unsettled.
Beside the right to extend Lns Pur-
man railroad through Yum Nan p:o-
vince Great Britain asks the right to
build railroads through the province
of Sze-Schuan north of Yum Nam,
and third treaty port is demanded,
which no doubt is Slang Yin, Just
south of Tung Sing lake, in the pro-
vince of Hu Nan, which Japan propos-
ed to open at the time of the Shimo
neski negotiations.
The proposed opening Of the port OF
Talien Wan. on the Liao Tung PENN
sula, and north of Port Arthur, posi-
ton which would command the rail-
road connecting Port Arthur with the
north and Manchuria, continues to be
the chief difficulty, Russia desiring TO
keep the whole of Manchuria for her
self. Neither power is willing to
yield on this point and the question
is no longer commercial one; it has
become political.

EVERYTHING QUIET
Among the Striking New England Cotton
Mill Operatives.

Boston. January 19.-The news from
the New England cotton manufacture
ing centers. New Bedford, BiddefOrd
and Lewiston, in which strikes are in
progress, is to the effect that every
thing is quiet.
Secretary Hart, of the New Bedford
union, says he looks for no further
particular change for at least two
weeks, and it is thought unlikely that
the situation in the smaller places will
be altered until action is taken in New
Bedford.
At the latter point to-day small
crowds Of operatives and sympathizers
gathered on a number of streets IN the
vicinity Of the mills at the hour the
machinery was usually started, but
none Of the gates were opened and
there was no sign of a demonstration
of any sort.
At Biddeford both sides were still
maintaining waiting attitude, each
determined not to yield any ground
until a mutual understanding Of some
sort is brought about
In Fall River the carding and weay-
ing department of the King Philip
mills are beginning to feel the effect Of
the estrike in the spinning department
and operators were being forced out

become dissatisfied with their pay and
have authorized their secretary to con-
fer with Treasurer Rounseville to de-
termine the attitude of the mill in re-
gard to concessions They claim that
they have been reduced more than
IL 10 per cent.
The White Rock Cotton MILL owned
by B. L. & r. knight. at Westerly, +.
l.. shut down at noon, owing to a

in wages amounting to from eight 70
fifteen per cent. When running in
full, the mill gives employment to 375
hands. The reduction went into effect
on Monday
At Lewiston. the Androscoggin mill

bank but missed the lay-off shot. Sut-
ton made ten and then the young

sibilities of the game. Draws, masses,
spreads and draw shots aiternated with
skiilful nursing, kept Marker
Matthews busy calling off the shots
until i23 was reached. Then Frank
fell down on a hair line shot Sutton
piled up 81 in his third inning, 10 III
the fourth and SO in the fifth. The
Canadian was responding to the APP
plause of his many friends in the
audience, and had he been facing any
