THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET.

Fall River Mass, Feb. (SpeciaD.-Brokers re-
port that business in the local print cloth market
has been quiet for week past, aid that the sales
were not much in Of 100000 pieces. This in
cluded all kinds of goods but not many Of those
controlled by the selling committee Trade with
them has been very quiet but the pressure to re-
duce prices has been relieved. Yesterday spot cot
ton was marked up another eighth of cent a
pound, that the quotation now is SA cents.
With this fact in mind, it is hard to how prices
can go down. why they should not go up at an
early date; The goods closely related to print
cloths not in control of the committee scarce,
while the goods used for bleaching and wide lining
purposes can hardly be had in quantity for any
figure The quotation for regulars holds at 81 cents.

HAS TURKEY SETTLED?
j. c. A. LEIsHMANN NAMED UNITED
STATES MINISTER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The president
today nominated John G. A. Leishmann,
of PENNSYLVANIA, now Minister to
Switzerland, to be United States minister
to Turkey.
The officials here will not admit that
they have any official knowledge that "a
settlement has been reached by Mr.. Girls
com, our charge at Constantinople, of the
American mission claim, and in som
cases fiat denial is given. Yet 1t is re-
called that when Minister Straus came
back to the United States and resigned
IN disgust at his inabality to close up
these claims, the impression was semi
ofhclally given that no minister would
be named to succeed him until the Turk
1sh government had met our demands.
After waiting long time, the Turkish
government itself was obliged to take
notice of the diplomatic manifestation of
the displeasure of the United States, evil
denced by the advice of Mr.. Straus from
Constantinople. Therefore it caused the
announcement to be made that it had ter
minated the ministerial office of Ali Fer
rouh Bey, the minister resident here. But
to prevent the, issue from becoming too
acute, it at the same time named Shekib
Rey as minister to Washington. But
Shekib thus far has not left Constantine
ople, and Ali Ferrouh Bey remains in
Washington, although, as he frankly
states, he is nothing more than charge
aHa1reS for the moment. 1t is said
that Shekib Bey now will come to Wash
1ngton; or that the former minister will
be recommended, which in either case
might be taken as a sign that a settle
ment had been reached for the mission
claims under cover of the purchase of a
warship, or in some other unofficial man

sion of the conference. Following this
j. S. Van Cleve, vice president of the
Bucks Stove Manufacturing Company of
ST. Louis, read a paper, in which he
advocated a national compulsory law for
arbitration as a necessity for the settle
ment of industrial disputes.
AS suitable members of such a commit
tee to draft such a law, Mr.. Van Cleave
suggested ex-President Harrison, Gen.
John B. Gordon and Gen. Wade Hamp-
ton; OF, # a senatorial committee be re-
Quested, he named Senators Cockrell, Of
Missouri; Frye, of Maine, and Daniel, CT
Virginia. Mr.. Van Cleave charged that
the existing federal and state laws are
entirely inadequate to meet the questions
arising between capital and labor.
The next speaker was Martin Fox,
president of the Iron Moulders' Union of
North America.
The closing address of the conference
was delivered by Frank P Sargent
grand master of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Firemen.

JOINT NOTE OF THE POWERS
Has Awaited Instructions of the
British Government to Sir Err
nest satOw-The Minister
at Pekin.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-Mr. Choate the
United States ambassador, had a long
conference this afternoon regarding the
chinese situation with the secretary OF
state for foreign affairs, the Marquis OF
Lansdowne, and subsequently Mr.. Henry
White, secretary of the United States en-
bassy, paid a visit to the foreign Office,
The greatest secrecy is maintained as to
the outcome of these consultations. What
could be learned from British and Ameri-
can sources varied considerably, tho
former expressing annoyance and
anxiety, the latter maintaining that noth-
ing serious was developing.
Some explanation, however was gath,
cred by a representative of the As4
sociated Press of the extraordinary tan
gle in which the Chinese negotiations
have recently been mixed up and soma
reconciliation of the contradictory tele-
grams that have emanated from Pekin
and various other European capitals
1t appears that over a week ago the
powers came to an agreement to elimin-
ate the word 'irrevocable from tho
joint note. Then when it was believed
that everything had been settled, objec-
tions were raised and Great Britain, for
the sake of harmony, although much
against her will, agreed to reinsert the
'irrevocable" clause. In this, it is be-
lieved, she was supported by the United
States.
CONFUSION AT PEKIN.
Once more the joint note seemed to be-
on the verge of signature, when a mis-
understanding arose in Pekin. This con-
fused the governments and formed the
subject of the dispatch from Secretary
Hay, which Mr.. Choate transmitted to-
the Marquis of Lansdowne today. AS a.
result of the interview, Mr.. Choate has
sent a" long cablegram to Secretary Hay,
in which he attributes the latest misun-
derstanding to an error in forwarding in
structions, an error which occurred pre-
sumably through the cable company, and
which caused Mr. Conger and Sir Ern-
est Satow, the British minister in Pekin,
to take opposite views although their
home governments were perfectly agreed.
The United States embassy, while not
commital, hopes that todays conference
will clear up the muddIe and bring about
a signing of the joint note in Pekin with
in a few days. On the other hand the
British foreign office is not quite so hope
full Officials there profess to be rather
at sea as to whether the conditions are
to be irreYoeabl or otherwise Indicas-
tons point to their being irrevocab1e.
British officials admit they gave In
under protest and with distinct re-
servation, that although the demands are
irrevocable, this in no way compels an
enforcement Of the demands by European
troops. To such a course Great Britain
cannot and will not agree.
Consequently compliance with the ire
vocable clause was somewhat of a farce
on the part of Great Britain, and this
feature of the case becomes more In

the statement authoritatively made here

PATROLS AT PEKIN.
Won WaIdersee Divides Police WorA
Among the Powers.

PEKIN, Dec. 1S.-Count Won Waldersee
has issued an order assigning various
districts in the neighborhood of Pekin Tor
supervision to the military representa~
tives of the various powers. The order
says that the extent to which the CO.
operation of the French and American
troops can he determined upon is mat
ter to be determined by agreement made
with the generals commanding these
forces. Under the plan the United States
troops will supervise the district south
east of Pekin from the road to Tshang
Tshang to the road extending from Naku
Krin to Ho ST WI.
Count Won Waldersee says that he
knows there is q considerable force of
Chinese under Gen. Ma in the northern
part of the province Shan ST, and another
south of Tsheng Tshang, but on account
of the severe winter that has now. set
in he does not expect any aggressive Chi
nese measures.
On the other hand when the Chinese
forces remain in q district for any length
Of time bands of robbers will congregate.
For this reason the field marshal wishes
the cooperation of all the allies to cover
the districts with strong patrols.
It is now expected a meeting of the
foreign ministers will be he'd tomorrow.

MOORS COME TO TIME.
WILL PAY INDEMNITY IN ESZAQUI
CASE

WASHINGTON, Dec ia message
from United States Consul Gummery, ct
Tangier, informs the state department
that the Moorish government has settled
the claim of the United States for in
demnity on account of the murder Of
Manus Eszagui, naturalized American
citizen in Morocco last spring
Fszagui was of French BIRTH but the
fact that he was naturalized as an Amer
lean citizen relieved the French govern
ment of the necessity of joining in the
demand for Indemnity. The Moorish
government pleaded as basis for its
first declination to pay the fact that the
man was killed, rot by Moorish officers,
but in a light with the rabble The
claim for indemnity, however, was based
on the failure OF the Moorish government
to make any effort to arrest CT punish
the perpetra tors of the murder. The
navy department, at the insistence of tho
state department, was making arrange
ments to send naval vessel to Mo-
rocco to give moral support to the de-

Their rushes were only stemmed by ar

reports that all the British wounded in
the engagement at Nooitagedacht have
arrived there and are doing well.
THANKSGIVING POSTPONED.
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The contemplated
thanksgiving service in St. Pauls cathe-
dral, in celebration of the return of Lord
Roberts from South Africa, has been
abandoned, owing as the government an
nounceS, to its being considered desirable
to defer general thank ksgiving until the
close of the operations in South Africa.
The programme is now for Lord Rob-
erts to debark in the So1ent, TO visit the
queen at Osborne house, Jan. 2 to re-
embark and to finally land at Southamp-
ton, coming from that port to- London.
The government publicly requests en-
ployers who have kept open. situations
for yeomanry, colonials and volunteers,
to continue their patriotic efforts to min
imize the sacrifices of these men in the
service of their country.
The war office has issued the queens
thanks to the yeomanry colonials and
volunteers, expressing her reliance that
those abroad will continue to aid the
regulars. The foregoing is designed to
quiet those in the field who are wait
ing to go home.
Numerous volunteer officers resigna-
tions are gazetted tonight, lawyers, ply
sicians and business men who have urg-
emily represented that their affairs are
going to ruin.
The war office. on account of these
representations has let them off.
