Permission to strike.

Boston, Mass. January "a. The princi-
pal events In the industrial strike IN ne"
England today we're. first the return oil
the striking workmen Of the Queen CITY
mills at Burlington, VT; secondly the
strike of those employed in the spinning
department of a mill at Fall River, and,
thirdly. the refusal of the Viewers union
of Fall River, by a vote of III to Ii, to
allow the King Philip mill wcavers to
strike. The refusal was given ON the
ground that all other operatives have ac-
eepted tho same cut down of IL 10 per
cent and such strike would weaken the
union. Aside from those events tho situa-
ton in the other rlill centers remained
unchanged today.

\ America VIII Give Great Britain
| Moral support.
| New York, January 2i.-There is reason

ton correspondent of the Herald.
| The only active steps which the admin

will be in respect to the matter of treat
ment to American ships at Kiao Chau
and such other ports in China as may be
seized in the future by Russia or Japan.
III China has leased Klao Chau on the
condition that IL shall be opened by Ger
many rs a Chinese port, then it will not
be necessary for the president to take any
steps In the matter" said an official OF the
administration. 1T Will mean that the
commerce Of all countries shall be allowed
unrestricted entry thereto. H. as we be-
lieve, however, Kiao Chau should be leased
TO Germany without conditions, then Ger
many will have the right and will I'M

Berlin, January "a. The following serii-
official announcement was made today
The statements regarding Germany's in.
tcntion to open the port OF Kiao Chau tc
the commerce OF the world are practically
correct. Germany desires that its policy in
China should be Of liberal character,
not interfering with the commerce of other
nations.
Berlin, January "a. Before the budget

Won Buelow. the minister for foreign af-
fairs said the negotiations with China now
concluded had resulted, firstly. in the gov
| crnor of Shan Tun being removed and for
ever dobarred from holding high office;
also been removed and punished and pro-
ooedings had been instituted for the pun
ishment of the actual perpetrators OF the
crime. Secondly. China had promised 10
pay 100000 taeIs for the material losses Of
the mission. Thirdly, as atonement for the
death of the missionaries, three churches
were to be erected, each provided with an
imperial tablet showing them to be und r

China grants 900 taels for free sites; an
other $4,000 taels Is assigned for building
seven secure residences for the Catholic
prefecture Of Taso Chau Flu. Fourthly, n
special imperial odict is issued for the pro-
lection of German missions.
China Baron Buelow explained, has
thus complied with all our demands.
Bishop Anzur regards the imperial protec-
ton tablets MS extremely advantageous.
The privilege is rarely accorded and VIII
considerably hcighten the standing of the
Catholic missionaries in the eyes of the
Chinese.
All that is necessary for tho prevention

best guarantees. however, are the per-
manent presence, under the treaty. of

tho negotiations with reference TO the con-
strnction of railways and The working Of

government chose Kiao Chan because It.
was not too near the French and British
