Retaliation Indicated.

The Turkish authorities having refused to
grant an eXGquatur to DR.. Thomas ii. Nor
ton to act as United States consul at Har-
poot. the indications point to some re-
taliatory measures on the part of our
government in the near future.
The Turkish contention now is that theF
permitted United States consulate to b.
established at Erzeroum under an Implied
understanding that the United States would
abandon its claim to consulate at Har.
pcot. That there was some shadow OF
foundation for that understanding is ad-
mitted, but it is still the purpose of the
United States to established that consulate,
if possible, because the British govern
ment has since been permitted to locate q
consulate at Harpoot and under the favor
ed nation clause of our treaty with Turkey
the United States government claims the
same commercial privileges as Great
Britain.
There is besides a peculiarly potent rea-
son for the presence of United States rep
resentative at Harpoot, for at that point is
located some of the most important and
tiOurishng American missionary and educa-
tiOnal interests in Turkey. Moreover. being
located in the Armenian district. where
so many outrageS upon Christians have
occurred it is held to be extremely desira-
BILE that our government should have some
impartial and creditable representative to
watch over the interests of American citi-
ZenS there.
The Fentucky's Visit.
The last adverse decision of the Turkish
government in this matter has not modified
the orders to the big battle ship kentucky

will sail today, and should arrive at Smyrna

day next. 1t IS. of course. not expected
that the ship is to make war single-handed
on Turkey. but, on the other hand, ii is

Going to Hawaiian Lepers.

A number of Franciscan Sisters will leave
this country next week for the leper settle
ment at Molokai, in the Hawaiian Islands.
1t Is learned from Rev. Father Godfrey
Schiling, superior of the Franciscans il
Washington, that these sisters intend to
devote their future lives in behalf of the
lepers, and probably will never return to
to their homes in the United States. The
leader of this band is Mother Ann NJ. Schi1-
ling native of Syracuse, New York. and
relative of the Franciscan superior here,
although for some years past she has
labored among the poor in Louisville, KY
She and her companions will start from San
Francisco direct for Hawaii. bearing with
them, 1t is said, the special blessing of
Pope Leo XIII. An industrial school for
the lepers' benefit will be started under the
special care of the Franciscan Sisters.

Great Britain Anxious to Get Out of

PRESENT PLANS UNSATISFACTORY
Belief That the Boxer Leaders
Cannot Be Punished.
SECRETARY HAYS APPEAL

LONDON, November 24.-The pessimism
reflected by the Washington specials deal
ing with China finds a keen echo in Great
Britain's cabinet. The gloomy foreboding
that the United States will be compelled to
withdraw from the concert of the powers is
only one OF the causes of this feeling, for
the British ministers are now inclined to
believe the present lines of negotiation can
not result satisfactorily.
The United States" said an official of
the foreign office TO a representative of the
Associated Press, cannot be any more anx-
iOuS than England to get out of the China
muddle. The cabinet ministers are reIuc-
family coming to believe that the endeavors
to compel China to punish individual offend
ers are merely waste of time. Death by
edict is farce and fairy tale. The pow
ers' forces now in China are utterly made
qUate to Overrun the country and enforce
their demands. England has no intention
OF augmenting her troops to such an extent
as would be necessary if the Europeans
the mSelVes undertake to infiict punishment
l. looks very much as if we shall all have
to climb down. The only question is, how
can it be done with the best dignity and
under circumstances giving the most salts
factory results?
The policy of indefinite decimation
which the American journals seem to at
tribute to Germany is not in the slightest
shared by Great Britain
Secretary Hays Latest Note.
Secretary Hays note appealing to the
powers to devise measures to bring about
an amioabe and satisfactory settlement of
the Chinese crisis has becn received at the
foreign office, through Lord Pauncefote, the
British ambassador at Washington. but it
has not yet been answered. The note points
out that the difficulties of getting China to
execute the punshments desired by the
powers are 50 great as to make, in the opin-
ion of the United States, this way Of solv
ing the crisis almost impTa cticabIe.
The note does not propose any definite
substitute, but suggests an exchange Of
views, whereby the powers can arrive at
better basis of treating China.
The United States embassy has not re-
ceived a copy Of the note, and is ignorant
of its contents.
Judging from the foreign office opinion
voiced in these dispatches today, Great
Britain is likely to assent gladly to Secre-
tary Hays suggestion.
This view is not that Of a ma jority of
the British press wis, without taking

dozen specimens of wells he applied
the ordinary tests of ability to read

showed that every kind OF veil affects
more OF. less the ability to see we'll,
the vision being interfered with in di-
rect proportion to the number of
meshes to square inch. The texture
of the veil is important as the follow
ing comparisons will show: Wearing
double mesh veil, one loses forty per
cent. Of vision; dotted chenille veil,
twenty per cent. large dots far apart,
plain mesh between, ten per cent,

It has been proved that the finer
