LONDON, Nov. l6.-At a banquet to-
night in his honor at the Conservative club,
Joseph Chamberlain warmly defended the
governments Chinese policy, contending
that Great Britain ''had good reason to be
satisfied with the result of British policy
as compared with other powers"
Regarding the contention that Great Brit
ain ought to have an agreement with Rus
sia, he said:
Experience has taught us that we re-
Quire better guarantee than a paper agree
ment to secure the policy of an open door.
The best security, in my opinion, is the de-
sire of other nations, like japan, Germany
and the United States to preserve an open
door. Japan is becoming an, important
power, with whom our relations throughout
have been, those of cordial friendship, while
with Germany and the United States, our
relations, l rejoice to say, are now closer
and morec ordal than they have been for
some time.
Germany and the United States are the
two great commercial nations whose inter
ests are identical with ours. In what
have said | have not meant permanent,
formal treaty of alliance, nor need ] say
this now, but that a speech of mine some
"Those persons are very premature, very
much mistaken, who think that Great Brit
ain is in need of an alliance for her own
security, or in order that other powers may
pull chestnuts out of the fire.
This was received with loud and pro-
longed cheering, which also greeted every
reference to the United States. In an elo-
quent peroration, Mr.. Chamberlain devel-
oped his theme, declaring that if England
ever needed an alliance she would give as
much as she received, but that she would
never need more aid, in his opinion, than
would cheerfuly be afforded by her own
children. He scorned the idea that Eng
land should fear German competition, as
he believed, he said, that Anglo Saxon CO.
operation and influence would prove ire
sistible, and that there was no reason why,
even without an alliance, Great Britain's
friendly relations with Germany should not
be strengthened.
81 rejoice" he said in conclusion, "at the
change that has occurred in the relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
To us they stand in a relation different from
that occupied by any oher people. / know
a hundred reasons why we should be
friends, none why we should be otherwise;
and / believe that has been the true feeling
of this country toward the United States
for many years. All misunderstanding
have been happily removed and the combi
nation of the two English-speaking nations
would fear no other alliance.
"Our imagination must be fired when we
contemplate the possibilities of such a COR
dial understanding between the 10000, 900
people of the United States and our SC, ,OOO,-
600 Britohs, an understanding which
would guarantee peace and civilization to

To the Argument Submitted by
the Americans
THE DONS PROPOSE ARBITRBTION
To Discover the Meaning Of Words Used in the Protocol.
The Whole Question Is Rapidly Narrowing
Down to One of Money

ers today have alleged that President Nc
klnleys objection to SPANS phraseology
IN accepting the terms of peace was based,
so far as was then known, upon this sem
tence in the Spanish acceptance: "They ac-
cepted the proffered terms subject to the ap-
proval of the cortes of the kingdom as re-
quired by their constitutional duty"
The Spanish memorandum of today
holds that NJ Cambon answered the Amer.
ician objection to this by pointing out that
the American terms were proffered subject
to the approval of the Americans, but that
President Mckinley replied that he did not
desire to involve the internal affairs oi
Spain in the proceedings on hand.
The Spanish memorandum also asks why,
| if the United States objected to Spain's
reservation of sovereignty, they did not
tpiainly say so in the protocol and leave no
room for argument. 1t asks why Judge
Days note OF August 10th did not clearly
declare that the United States would not
recognize such reservation and that the pro-
tocol was necessary to prevent misunder-
standing of that point. 1t also asks why
Judge Days note practically ascribed the
inexplicit form of Spain's acceptance of the
terms to telegraphic errors, while the exact
terms of Spain's reservation of sovereignty
as held in Washington before the protocol
are now being quoted in the proceedings
here.
This portion of the Spanish memorandum
is based upon letters written by M. Cambon
at the time purporting to describe inter-
views and transactions attending the peace
terms and protocol.
On Saturday, the date fixed for the next
meeting, the Americans will make their re-
| sponse, in the course of which it is not un-
likely that the exact terms and precise time
limit of their acceptance will be commune
Gated.

THE PILGRIMS PROGRESS OVER THE TEHAcHAPl

Clara, shot herself in the breast at the En-
porium this afternoon, infcting a wound
which may prove fatal. Late tonight she
stated that she loved G.. A. Alexander, a
young man living in Oakland and that of
late he has avoided her. She came to this
city on Monday, saying that she was to get
some money from her guardian Benjamin
Rucker. She borrowed pistol before start
ing from Shirley Ashley, a student at the
San Jose university. On Tuesday night she
telephoned to Miss Wilma Tannehill, her
college chum at San Jose, saying that she
was miserable, that she had not seen her
friend but that she had an appointment to
meet him this evening.
Miss Heither states she spent last Tuesday
evening with Mr.. Alexander but that the in
terview only increased her dependency. 1t
was her intention to kill Alexander before
committing suicide but in that her heart
failed her.

DEALERS IN PINE
Ask That the Lumber Duties Be Not
Reduced

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. l6.-At meeting
here of representatives of the white and
yellow pine industries a memorial to the
American commissioners, members of the
joint high commission, upon the part of the
United States and Canada has been adopted.
The memorial urges that the present very
low duty on lumber, amounting to less than
20 per cent valorem, be no further reduced
and the lumber industry be left undisturbed.
A resolution was also adopted urging the
establishment of bureau of timber and
lumber statistics as part of the division of
forestry of the department of agriculture,
or that a special appropriation be made by
congress to cover the cost of the compilation
of the forest and lumber statistics in con.
nection with the twelfth census.

PARIS, Nov. l6.-The meeting today of
the Spanish-American commissioners be-
gan at 2:l5 pm. and ended at 3 pm. The
Spanish commissioners presented long
document in answer to the American argu-
ment which was submitted last week. by
mutual consent the memorandum of today
was handed to the Americans without be-
ing read and the meeting adjourned to Sat
urday next. The Spanish communication
will be translated this evening and its con-
tents will be discussed by the United States
commissioners tomorrow at the usual daily
session.
The Spaniards in their communication to-
day reaffirmed the position which they as
sumed against the discussion here of Spain's
Philippine sovereignty. They insist that the
words, "shall determine the control, dis
position and government of the Philippines
in article 3, of the peace protocol, do not
warrant any reference to Spain's withdrawal
from the Philippines except on her own
terms, and therefore the Spaniards propose
arbitration ON the construction to be placed
on the words "the control, disposition and
government"
In signifying their willingness to submit
the Philippine articles of the protocol to a
third party for construction, the Spanish
commissioners urged today that, as there
is obviously a difference of opinion regard
ing the phrase ''the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines" possibly the
result of misunderstanding, the Spaniards
should no more be asked to surrender their
view than the Americans to surrender theirs.
The memorandum points out that deadlock
exists which might be broken by arbitration
on the contending views, to which the Span
ish commissioners are)quite ready to submit.
The latter declare that they have no idea OF
suggesting arbitratioIs AS TO the main issue,
which touches the national honor on both
sides, but they are willing to accept ex-
terror aid to clear the path of negotiation.
| 1t is safe to say that the American COM
| missioners will not consent to invoke exte.
/ rior aid to construe the terms of their owl,
protocol. ss-A ---'
Another part of today's Spanish memo
randum fatty asserts, upon the authority
of NJ. Cambon's reports of the protocol ne
gotiations between Washington and Mad
rid through him, that President Mckinley
at no time objected to Span's reservation
of her sovereignty in the Philippines. This
allegation is directly opposed to the Amer
lean record on the same subject. Judge
Days note to NJ. Cambon, dated August
10th, and already made public informed
him that Spain's note of August 7th ac-
ceptng the terms of peace laid down by the
United tSates was not explicit and proposed
protocol to reduce both parties to ex-
actitude. The American commissioners now
bold that the protocol itself was born oil
Spain's attempt to restore her Philippine
sovereignty, though the Spanish memoran-
dunn today squarely challenges that conten-
ton. Moreover, the Spanish commission

France Takes Fright


PARIS, Nov. l8-The speech of Joseph
Chamberlain at Manchester yesterday has
had disquieting effect upon French official
circles, where it had been expected that the
evacuation of Fashoda would satisfy Great
Britain. Mr.. Chamberlain's statements are
regarded here as indicating Great Britain's
desire to discuss and settle all pending
questions while she is in state of prepara-
tion to exercise her power.
The Soir says: IN. Lockroy, minister OF
marine, may be compelled to resign owing
to his attitude, which is antagonistic to that
of his colleagues in the cabinet regarding
the proposed prosecution of Urban Ghoirc,
author OF ~ Armee Centre la Nation"
which attacks the present army system in
France. 1t appears that NJ Lockroy before
entering the cabinet had knowledge that
Ghoire wrote the book and that this en-
plains his present attitude of reserve"
The Soir says also: "The national defense
group in the chamber met today and in
structed their executive committee to in
terview NJ. del Casse, minister of foreign
affairs, with regard to Mr.. Chamberlan's
speech. 1t was also decided to propose as
the order of the day in the chamber on Fri
day resolution pledging the government
to assure the efficiency of the national de-
fense"

wouldajoin with England and the United
StatN in restraining Russia from shutting
the Chinese door. Mr.. Chamberlain, in the
Daily Graphic's opinion, is unwse in "flout-
ing Russia" ''-.'.
All the papers, however, recognize the
Importance OF the speech, and notice Mr..
Chamberlain's reputation of his earlier idea
of an Anglo-German alliance.

genuine eloquence, which will find its echo
in America says
1T is probable that this remarkable ad.
dress will be read with less pleasure in Paris

A DREYFUS DEFENDER
Formally Expelled From the Legion
of Honor

PARIS, Nov. l6-The commissary of po-
lice today notified M. Frances de Prossense,
the we'll known writer, political economist
and Dreyfus agitator, of his formal expul-
sion from the Legion of Honor. This is a
sequel to NJ de Prossense's denunciation of
certain officers for their treatment of Drey-
fus.
M. Francis de Prossense is the son of the
famous French Protestant pastor and wri-
ter cf the same name who died in 1891. He
was born in Paris in 1853, entered the min
istry of foreign affairs in 1870, and was ap-

FRANCE is AFRAID
To Bring Dreyfus Back for the Coming
Trial

PARIS, Nov. l6.-The announcement
that two advocates will be sent to Cayenne,
capital of French Guiana, to assist Dreyfus
in the preparation of his defense, gives rise
to the belief that he will not, after all, be
brought back. 1t is believed he has al
ready received the governments message
announcing the revision.
The court of cessation will undoubtedly
demand the secret dosser and, according
to the Sor, the government has taken the
full responsibility for whatever measures
may be necessary to prevent the dossler cb-
tanning a publicity that would be dangerous
from an international point of view.

THE BOTKIN CASE
The Incidental Expenses Begin to
Mount Up

MOuuC Up
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.--That the
trial Of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin will commence
on the day set, Monday, December 5th, is
now assured beyond all reasonable doubt.
Today, Chief of Police Lees applied to
Judge Carroll Cook for an order directing
the auditor to allow the payment of certain
expenses incidental TO the coming trial.
Lees said that it was proposed to bring four
teen witnesses from the state of Delaware
to California and that their presence was
absolutely necessary. Every means of trans
portation had been investigated, with the
view of saving the state as much as possible,
and it had been found that the cheapest and
best plan would be to accept the proposal
made by the Southern Pacific company. The
proposal was to bring the fourteen witnesses
over for total cost of $2647 80 for railroad
fares and $500 for meals. Judge Carroll
Cook at once made the necessary demand
upon the auditor.

New Textile scllool at Clemson College

Baltimore, Nd, Sept. l5-Onc of
the most significant events during the
past week IN the southern industrial
held was the opening of the textile
school OF Clemson College, South Car.
o]ina. Plans for such an institution
in the south have long been discussed
in different States, North Carolina.
Mississippi, Georgia and South Caro-
lima. They have been brought to a
practical state in the last two. and
South Carolina has the honor and will
doubtless enjoy the benefits of being
the first to start such an ENTERPRISE
The trustees of Clemson have been
much encouraged in their work by the
hearty support given them by manu-
facturcrs of textile machinery, the
school having been equipped with SO
600 worth of machinery through the
generosity Of the manufacturers. It
is the purpose of the school to prepare
young men of the south to undertake
cotton manufacturing in all its branch
es to supply skilled hands and minds
for the developing Of an industry
which is making habitat every year
closer and closer to the fields of raw
material, aud probably TO the ports
whence may be controlled the great
commerce which this country is destin-
cd to enjoy if it grasps the chances
now presented to it. The establish
ment of the textile school comes none
too, soon. For some weeks past more
or less has been heard about the grades
OF goods, and the movement in that
direction is now fairly under way.
This change frcm the coarser to the
line grades is main feature Of textile
news in this section to-day The
building of new mills will, Of course.
not stop, but there are daily rcports
OF old mills putting in new machinery
Tor the manufacture of the finer mum
bers. This movement seems TO be
spontaneous, and seems likely to as
sumo large proportions in the near
future. An indication Of this drift is
the news that mills in North Carolina
and South Carolina have bought 1000
bales of long staple cotton from the
Mississippi valley for use in finer num-
bers. There is also a tendency toward
diversification Of cotton products, the
field for batting, hosiery, webbing aud
