English shoe manufacturers who are
beginning to suffer from American
competition allege that, although the
British workman's daily wages are
only about half as large as those of
the American operative, the labor
cost" of a pair of shoes is fully 25 per
cent more in England than in the
United States. Most Of the response
bility for this fact is laid upon the
British union of boot and shoe opera
tives, which. it is said. forbids its mem
bers to turn out more than a certain
amount Of work. Possibly this union
has found the solution to the labor
problem; but the manufacturers doubt
1t, and base their doubt upon the ex-
perience Of the race-that men who
are afraid Of doing too much eventual
ly find it hard to get anything to do.

POWERS WOULD DIVIDE CHINA.
Negotiations aid To Have Reached
a. Critical Stage.

SrEtscaI stage.
Washington, Feb. 8. - Representa-
tions to the state department from Pc
kin picture the developments at an
other critical stage. A categorical
statement as 10 iademnities has just
been sent 10 Minister Conger. The
question of indemnities is beyond
doubt the most serious before the Pc
kin board, and to all evidences Is q
fruitful souce of dissension. England,
Germany, France and Russia are all
making cxorbitant demands for in
demnity, and the negotiations will
show how sincere the European gov
ernments are in trying to preserve the
entity of the Chinese imperial govern
ment, TO restore peace and to estab-
lish satisfactory guarantees of safety
for the future. The fact that Chinese
finances are exhausted and that the
imperial government has used up it's
credit in foreign money markets
makes the situation serious. There Is
a fear that the European governments
are pressing these high indemnit.es to
compel China, as an only alternative,
to grant valuable territory and treaty
concessions.

Washington. Feb. 3.-The secretary

Washington. Feb. 3. - Information
from Havana indicates that the nltch
in the constitutional convention over
the eligibility of Gen. Gomez for pres
ident may delay the completion or the
constitution so that it cannot be SUD-
mitted to this government before con-
gress adjorrns. 1t has been expected
at the war department that he con-
vention would complete its work py
the middle OF February and that O
copy OF the constitution would De III
the presidents hands a week later.
There may now be a delay of severai
weeks, but the changed conditions mas
not changed the presidents mind as TO
the necessity for an extra session Oh
congress. He does not propose 10
leave the settlement of this question
until next winter. There would be
danger OF disturbances and even insur-
rection in Cuba with the suspicious OF
the Cubans
ENCOURAGED by Scheners
who would expect to profit by a de-
termined movement for absolute inde-
pendence. Such outside efforts have
been responsible in a degree for the
u VI tut Subdli VIM w 5A'~
recognition TO the United States in the
constitution, and a long delay on the
part of this government might be ac-
cepted as weakness and lead to revo-
lutionary outbreaks when there are so
few troops In the island. The presi-
dent sees danger Of misunderstanding
on the part of Cubans in delay by this
government, and he insists that con-
gress. must cooperate with him in
passing upon the Cuban constitution
at an early date, that the position Of
this government will be clearly under
stood not only in Cuba. but by other
governments and bv those spectators
who are watching the situation with
the hope of absolute independence in
Cuba. that they may profit by the pro-
motion of ell sorts Of wild schemes.

go to show that in some parts of he

was agreed to for a session beginning
at IL a. IN. to-day. Senators Rawlins

pied most OF thu time yesterday in
speeches of vigorous opposition. To-

discussion was precipitated by an
amendment offered by Mr.. Clay of
Georgia, proposing to link h Mic
aragua canal bill with the shipping
bin. The proposition was strongly up
posed by Mr.. Frye and Mr.. Chandler.
as calculated to embarrass and delay
the shipping bill. Mr.. Frye appealed
10 senators TO permit the majority. af-
ter fair debate. to assume its respon-
sibilities, as a majority, of passing the
shipping bill. Messrs. Jones of Ar
kansas and Teller of Colorado o q
hand in the discussion. insisting that

Mr.. Morgan OF Alabama, in charge of

approval of the plan for linking the
