at Alexandretta, Asiatic Turkey, has
been hauled down and Consul Davies
has left his post for Beirut, in conse-
ouence of the serious diplomatic in
cident. during which Mr.. Davies was

Attarian has been in prison at Alepon
during the last two months, and had
Just been liberated through interven-
tion Of the American consular agent,
On condition Of his leaving the cOun

Mr.. Davies was accompanying Alta
rian ON board a departing steamer,
when the police intercepted the party,
assaulted and insulted Mr.. Davies, and
despite the resistance of the consular

Attarian and took him back to prison.
Mr.. Davies, Immediately lowered the
flag from over the consulate, and fO.-
mally broke off relations with the
Turkish authorities by quitting Alex

The local authorities assert that
Mr.. Dawes struck the police with a
cane and that after the re-arrest Of
Attarian the consular canvasses (mili-
tary couriers, attempted to rescue him

BALLOTlNG FOR ADDICkS
THOUGH HE HAS WITHDRAWN

Dover. Del, Feb. 10.-The seven
teenth ballot for United States senator
yesterday resulted: Long term-Ad-
dicks, 81; Handy, 20; Ball, 8; Hig-
gins, 2.
Short term-Addicks 10; Tunnel,
20; T. c. Dupont, ,; H. A. Dupont, s;
Richardson, 2. There has been no
election.
A rumor prevails that three regular
republicans will desert their associ-
ates and vote with the Union-Addicks
republicans. This would give Addicks
"a votes, three less than the number
necessary to elect. If the remaining
seven regulars vote with the twenty
one democrats for Ball and Dupont
the senatorial fight will be settled.
The democrats have sent the regu-
lars a proportion to vote for two of
their choice for senators, but the re
publicans has not yet accepted. 1t is
intimated that even should the regu-
lars accept the proposition all demo-
Gratis may not vote for those agreed
upon. 1t has been suggested that if
the union republicans should succeed
in eleCting two senators, one would
resign and Auuicks be appointed to
the vacancy. The lieutenant COVER
nor, who has the appointive power,
says he would not appoint Addicks.

on the part of the miners were begun
yesterday before the strike commits
sion. The first address was Daniel

Henry d. Lloyd, who argued the ques-

yearly trade agreements. Former Con-
gresham Brumm was the last speaker
of the day. Lloyd declared that the
most precious power of all for the pac-
ifcation of industry and the power to
prevent disputes from the beginning
will be absent unless the commission
exercises the power it has to provide
"a permanent remedy" He then re
viewed the methods of industrial peace
in Europe and the trade agreements in
the bituminous district in this coun-
try. He declared that the mine work
ers of America have never gone on a
strike against the employment of non
union men.
