Charges Against the Ambassador
Are Forwarded to Him.
Washington. March 16.-The Chinese
against Ambassador Powell Clayton
submitted yesterday to the state de-
partment We're forwarded to him in or
der that he may make reply if he cares
to do so.
1t appears that the fight against the
ambassador has been in progress for
several N onths, and he is aware of all
that has been done by his opponents
up to this point. Now the question is
for the first time raised formally as to
the propriety of an ambassador or min
lister engaging in business, or even
having financial interests in the coun-
try to which he is accredited. 1t is be-
lieved that there is no specific law upon
the subject and it is suggested that the
determining point in nthis case will lie
in the character of Mr.. Clayton's in
vestn:ents and the extent TO which
they n :ght seem to tend to influence his
ambassadorial actions.

Boston. March 1.-THE labor situa-

To give weight to statements of labor
men who spoke without authority that
harmony is not re stored is to make the
outlook far more critical than at any
time since the allied freight transporta-
ton council began it's fight against the

On the other hand, Gov. Crane and the
state beard of arbitration believe that
the problem is being solved quite rapid
ly considering the immensely Of the
strike, and only ask for time and pa
thence from both laboring and business
men to remove all obstacles for re-
sumption of freight traffic under ordi-
nary conditions. AS a matter of fact
the strike was completely broken yes
terday. although troubles cropped out
in many quarters, some were arranged
without delay and others dragged along

so that they came in for consideration
by the various labor bodies last night.
During these meetings, judging by
what was argued by the men, independ-
ent strikes of bodies seem impending
but the leaders in the strike just ended
are sanguine that they still hold controk
of the entire organized labor body and
would not again be obliged to order a.
strike of the freight handlers, or its
more serious accompaniment, SYM
pathetic strike of affiliated bodies.
The special side of the strike-break-
ing yesterday presented an army OF

but fully 10 per cent of the men found
