The city Of Paterson is distressed over the
danger that the Rogers Locomotive Works will
be closed permanently. The citizens have ample
reason for sorrow. This establishment has at
times employed as many as $500 men and has
paid out much 81, 100000 year in wages.
Closing it finally will be a grievous blow to the
prosperity of the busting New-Jersey town.
Every day the newspapers are printing articles
showing that many railroads are ordering addi-
tional engines in large numbers, and. therefore.
1t appears to be especially unfortunate and I'M
timely that the venerable owner of the works
should insist upon shutting them up entirely
because old age has dulled his energies and he
has resolved to retire from engrossing &C
tivities.

fairs. M. Delcasse, read telegram from
the emperor of China asking the media
ton of France with the foreign powers
Inc telegram was signed by Kwang Su
Snd not by Pub Chan, the son of Prince

The reply given by NJ. Decasse was
that the request would be considered only
on absolute knowledge that these facts
mad Deen accomplished:
t1rSt-That efflcacious protection and
absolute freedom of communica ton had
been assured between the French min
lSter at Pekln and his colleagues of the
diplomatic corps and their respective gov
ernments.
Second-When Prince Tuan and high
tuncuonar1es responsible for the actual
events mad been dismissed by the govern
ment 10 await inevitable punishment.
Third-When the authorities and bodies
81 troops throughout the entire empire
snail nave received an order to cease
hostlitles against foreigners.
Fourth-When measures have been
taken for the rigorous repression Of the
Boxers
So long as these necessary guarantees
are not furnished there is room only for
m = airy action.
NJ Delcasse notified the cabinet that
all the powers had responded favOrably

ton or arms to China.
