ON BOARD A WARSHIP
UNITED STATES CONSUL DAVIS
WILL RETURN TO HIS POST
AT ALExANDRETTA.

Washington, Dec. 17.-As a result
of Minister Leishman's advices re-
speeding the Al%exandretta affair, the
state department has requested the
navy department to place a Warshlp at
the disposal of Consul Davis, now at
Beirut, upon which he might return to
Alexandretta at his pleasure. the
navy department accordingly cabled
instructions to Admiral Cotton on
board the Flagship Brooklyn at Alex
andria, Egypt, to place a vessel at the
disposal Of Mr.. Davis. 1t Is believed
the Brooklyn will be selected. 1t is
left to the consul to arrange the
terms of his reception.
Although Rear Admiral Cotton was
not instructed specifically to take the
consul back to his post under escort
of a SQUADRON it will not be in opposl-
ton to the navy departments wishes
if both the flagship Brooklyn and the
San Francisco proceed to AleXandret-
ta on this mission. 1t is felt that In
view of the indignities offered our
consul his return to Alexandretta un-
der the protection of a squadron might
nroye more salutatory in its effect
nan if only one ship accompanied
him.
The information of the state depart
ment is to the effect that Mr.. Davis
was acting entirely within his rights
and movers and that while engaged
in protecting, al was MS duty, q
n%aturalized American citizen he was
set upon by five Turkish policemen
and dragged along the ground. 1t also
anpears incidentally that upon recOv'
ering his footing the consul promptly
and soundly thrashed all five OF the
nolicemen. Minister Leishman has
been instructed to request reparation
Of the Turkish government. the state
department taking q firm attitude on
that question.

CHAMBERLAIN At LEEDS.
Makes Last Speeches Of His Fiscal
Campaign for the Present Year.

Campaign for the Present year.
Leeds, Dec. 17.-Joseph Chamber
lain addressed two immense audiences
here last night, making the last
speeches Of his fiscal campaign for the
present year.
From the moment Of Mr.. Chamber
lain's arrival in Leeds the enthusiasm
was tremendous and many demonstra-
lions we're made in the streets. The
of Mr.. Chamberlain on
the platform was the signal for an
ovation which continued for many min
utes.
The first speech was made in the
Coliseum and was listened to by $500
persons and a similar number attend
ed the overflow meeting held after
ward in the town hall, which was alto
gether inadequate to accommodate the
great crowd seeking admission.
The feature of Mr.. Chamberlain
speech at the Coliseum was his an
nouncement of the fact that he has
been engaged in getting together a
committee to make inquiries among
the various branches of trade at home
and abroad, the work Of which com
mittee he expected, he said, will re
suit in clearing away many difficult
ties. The committee will consist OF
about, thirty business men Of the high
est standing who will begin theil
work in the near future. It will be
COMPOSED of men from all centers Of
industry both in the United Kingdom
and in the colonies. Subcommittee
will be formed to deal with eacf
branch Of trade and to take exhaus
tive evidence, meeting twice week..
until their work is finished. Whel
the reports are completed Mr.. Cham
berlain said. he expected to be in a pc
sition to formulate a tariff bill &C
ceptable to the country, which vii
not only foster imperial trade. bu
which will enable Great Britain t.
give trade advantages to those VIII
are prepared to render her slmlla
favors.
The rest Of Mr.. Chamberlain
speech was largely a repetition OF nj
former arguments.

Two young nnaE seated Iust b.
hind 3 lady In one of eur city
churches yesterday kept up an In
cessanf fire OF small talk during the
snEfre sermon. They criticised the
sermon, criticised the singing and
criticised the people to whom the
preacher spoke. In another part OF
the building two young ladies kept up
rattle of conversation during the
service, but of an entirely different
nature. Both parties gave no end
of disturbance to those about them
who desired to enjoy the service.
Why do people go to church to talk?
A girl may go sometimes to show
her new frock or her 'loye of a
hat, !" but no young man can have
even this lame excuse. If . person
can't hold bis or her tongue during
the hour that the congregation is
engaged In Worship they should re-
member that there Is plenty of room
on the outside, and that the seats
they occupy could doubtless accom-
modate others who are anxious TO
hear the preacher or enjoy the mu-
sic. Think of this you church talk
ers the next time you are tempted
to engage in idle cOnversat alton
during services.
