CHINA CHANGES HER MIND
RETRA CTS ORDER FOR SIGNING OF
THE JOINT NOTE.
Objections of Southern viceroys En-
dOrsed by the Court-COnfiicting Re-
ports as to the Intentions OF Ii Hung
Chang and Prince Ching Identical
Notes or the Powers Presented Ycster-

Pekin, Jan. 1.-The report that the
Chinese court had instructed the Chi
nese peace ENJOYS to refuse to sign the
joint note of the powers to China is
confirmed The court referred to the
objection of the southern viceroys,
which are the same as the court have.
Prince Ching, however, informed the
court that it was too late and a reply
from the court is expected shortly
This afternoon agreements identical
for each nation were presented to Prince
Ching. Those close to Prince Ching and
Lii Hung Chang say they have decided
to sign even If they lose their heads,
without regard to the latest orders from
the court Others, who are apparently
equally close, say they will not sign i'm
mediately, asserting also that there are
two factions surrounding the court
equally strong, and that 1t would be
impolitic for the Chinese plenipotenti-
aries at present to act for themselves.
Count Won Wadersee says that Chi
mas request, througR her representa-
tives at foreign courts that the exped-
tions should cease cannot be complied
with at present. No expeditions, he as
serts are sent out without adequate
cause.
Where there are scenes of bloodshed
or disorder troops are sent to interfere,
this being the only means of preventing
outrage. He declares that the expedi-
tions are not intended for punitive pur-
poses, but merely for police purposes,
with a view Of giving the necessary pro-
lection to life and property.
London, Jan. S.-"The United States
government has proposed to the pow
ers," says the Washington correspond
ent of the Daily Mail, ito transfer the
Chinese negotiations from Pekin to
Washington"

BOSTON ELECTRIC LIGHT co.
Stockholders Vote to Lease Property to
J.P. Morgan d. Co.

Boston, Jan. 7.--At a meeting of the
stockholders of the Boston Electric
Light company, held in this city to-
day, it was voted to lease the property
of the company to new organization
to be formed by j. p. Morgan & Co.
for a term of not more than ninety
nine years, at an annual rental of 10
per cent. The stockholders of the Edi-
son Electric Light company, it is un-
derstood, a t their next meeting, will
take similar action, which will result
in a consolidation of Boston electric
lighting interests.
The meeting was entirely harmonious,
1883 out of total OF 10000 shares OF
stock represented being voted in favor
of the proposition. President Gilbert
called the meeting to order and read
the offer in behalf of j, P. Morgan &
Co. to lease the property at rental
equivalent to 10 per cent. per annum on
the capital stock. 1t is understood
however, that a lease will not be exc
cuted unless a lease of the Edison COM
pany is made at the same time.

THE T,AILORS' STRIKE.
Some Nom Union Men Who Came from
New York Induced to Return.

Some Nom Union Men Who Came from
| New York Induced to Return.
| A party of fourteen tailors from New
York, induced to come to New Haven
by those of the merchant tailors of this
city who are affected by the tailors'
strike, arrived here by boat early last
evening and after they had been seen
by representatives of the local striking
tailors they returned to New York by
the midnight boat last night, or at least
part of them did.
1t was feared that there would be
some trouble among the various inter-
ests concerned in the tailors' difficulties,
the merchant tailors, the striking tall
ors and those who came from New
York. These latter were induced to
come to New Haven by several of the
merchant tailors to fill some of the
places made vacant by the strikers
quitting work. The merchant taiIors
had requested police protection for their
committee which was to meet the New
York tailors and for the latter. Con-
sequently Sergeant Doherty and a
squad of patrolmen were detailed to
duty at the dock and were there when
the steamer arrived. A committee from
the merchant tailors was on hand to
meet the New Workers, prevent the
strikers from seeing them and take
them to a hotel When the New York
ers landed this committee took charge
of their shears and other tools of the
trade.
A delegation representing the strikers
was also present at the dock when the
New York tailors arrived and managed
to engage them in conversation. There
was no violence nor attempe at vio-
lence, but when the car on which the
tailor factions were riding reached the
corner of Chapel and State streets the
delegation of strikers left the car ana
were followed by every one of the men
who had Just come from New York.
The merchant tailors' committee remcn-
strated, but to no avail. The local
Trades council headquarters are in the
Boardman building, and to the council
hall the New York tailors We're con-

was noticed that he brooded over his

have been due to his worry over the
approaching trial. He was sixty years
old.
