: Philadelphia, Oct. 8-The directors Of
the subsidiary companies Of the Consol-
idated Lake Superior company held a
long conference here to-day at which
the present situation was thoroughly
discussed.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
speyer & CO. of New York to take pos

Central TRUSS company Of New York,
trustees. under the mortgaged dated

SITUATION IN THE ORIENT.
British Embassador Makes No Reference
10 Impending Crisis. a

London. Oct. The Associated Press
learns that the dispatches Of the Brit
ish minister to Japan, Sir Claude M.
Macdonald, while detailing many re-
quests made by Russia IN the present
negotiations ait Toxic In connection
with concessions iii Korea, relating
chiefly to wfarves, makes no reference
to any possibility Of an impending
crisis. g5t
The minister added that he had not
received a word regarding any eonceil-
tration or Of alarming movement of the
Russian fleet in the far east.
Regarding the report that the Rus
sian fleet had had arrived at Ma-San-Pho.
baron ITayashi remarked that Russia
had only about thirty, war vessels in
the whole far east and it would be q
physical inpossibility, On account of
coal and other supplies, I the minister
further asserted. for them to remain
at Ma-San-P Pho. 1t would be the most
unlikely place for them to go to, even
|if Russia contemplated hostilities, as it
is within easy striking distance Of Jap
ans strong naval base at Tsu, In the
Straits of Korea.
So far as Baron Hayashi knows, it
would be equally unreasonable for the
Japanese fleet to go to Ma-San-Pho.

opposing counsel end Chief Justice AL
Ferstone's fairness. .. ..
Lord AlVerstone said he had heard
many leaders of the American bar
speak in arbitration and other cases;
but, Mr.. Dickinson's argument equalled
anything he had ever heard, and he
had not suffered by the fairness and
impartiaity with which he had present
ed his arguments.
Mr.. Foster said: Having approach
ed the end of the open sessions 1 de-
sire in the name of the government of
the United States and in behalf of my
associates and myself to make public
recognition of the extreme friendliness
and consideration with which we have
been received by the British govern
ment and by its representatives. Not
only has every facility and convenience
been afforded us for the despatch of the
business which brought us to this eapi-
tai; but, these acts have been attended
by marked courtesy and Kindness. In
making this acknoWledg edgnlent, it is es-
pecially pleasant to recall the fact that
during our prolonged sessions not a
harsh word has been spoken, nor has
an unpleasant incident occurred to mar
the harmony of our intercourse. May
this be an indication of the character
of the decision to be rendered by this
tribunal which both nations await with
So much interest" S-s.s r.
Lord Alverstone replied feelingly,
saying that his maiesty's government
would doubtless deeply appreciate such
mn expression of friendship and thanks.

TILLMAN ON THE STAND.
ExpIsins Gonzalez Bitter Feeling
Toward HIm Tor Years.

Lexington. s. c.. Oct S.-James H.
Tfllman went on the stand to-day as a
witness in his own behalf in his trial
or the murder of N. G. Gonzales. He
was on the stand an hour and will con-
tinue his testimony tomorrow. Thirteen
witnesses were heard to-day.
Tillman was asked by Mr.. Croft to ex-
plain various incidents to which refer
ence has been made during the trial.
After giving his explanation of the
South Carolina club incident. he was
asked with regard to any messages he
may have sent to Gonzales. He replied
that he had sent a verbal message to
him by George S. Legare asking him
(GonzaIes) to meet him in Georgia. He
said Gonzales wanted the invitation put
in writing. but he was afraid it was a
trap. He said also that he did not want
to violate any of the duelling laws of his
state. Answering further questions the
witness said that when he was corre-
spondent in Washington for a southern
paper Gonzales was applicant for the
position of consul-general to Shanghai,
and that he wrote to his paper that
Gonzales would not be appointed and
said he had some hot words with him in
a hotel lobby in washington. Asked as
TO Gonzales attitude toward his mill
tary career. he said: 1T has always
been bitter toward me since was twen-
ty-one years Old
The question Of his military career
and the comments of the State were
then taken up, Tillman stating, among
Iother things, that Gonzales wanted to
have him court-martialled because Of
an incident which he related.
Asked how he was treated by Con-
zales in his campaign for governor, the
defendant replied: II think those edi-
torials are fair samples of it.
He denied that he had ever been a
traitor to his uncle, and said he had
not Intentionally been discourteous to
the senator. He was asked next what
had been the attitude Of Gonzales to-
ward him prior to 1902, to which he re-
piled:
II think the paper has been pretty
tWell devoted to me since $780," and in
answer to a further question said the
editorials in the State had been ex-
tremely abusive of him.

sILVER COMPANY REFUSES.
viii Not Grant Demands Of Tho Metal
= Workers.

Meriden, Conn. Oct. Sat the head
quarters of the International Silver
company to-day 1t was stated that an
answer to the demand of the metal
workers Cor nine-hour day had been
given to the committee Of the men. The
answer was a denial Of the demands Of
the men in all shops of the company
in the various cities.
The demands were presented at all
the silver factories throughout the state
simultaneously last week and an answer
thereto was requested on this date.
when the union committees went to
their respective employers to-day they
found, in every instance, that the man
ufacturers would not make a single
concession.
The international Silver company has
three factories In Wallingford, four in
Meriden and one In Waterbury. AIT
each Of these factories and also at sew
seral independent factories throughout
the state the demands were made and a
very large number Of men would have
benefited by the increase in wages and
shorter work day ha It been granted.
Although the demands were turned
down It Is doubtful II the silver work
ers will strike at this time. 1t is said
that not In many years have the fac
tories been SO well stocked before the
holiday trade and the manufacturers
could stand strike much better than
Icould their Workmen.
r. ]. Lynch and James Cullanan, of
/ ssI1estsY spFasi dent and secretary Of
the International union Of Metal Work
ers, have been summoned to Meriden
for a conference. Until they have made
a thorough canvass of the situation it
| is not believed that there will be any
Developments. An official Of the r..
Wallace & Sons Manufacturing compa-
| ny said this evening: 1.-THE demand
was such that we simply could not con-
slider IT,"
| From another source it was learned
that for the officials of this company to
grant the demands Of their workmen
would mean an increase In operating
lexpenses of over 100000 year.
| President Lynch and Secretary Gull
llanan are expected to arrive in Meriden
| Tomorrow for consultation with the ex-
lecutive committee Of the local unions.

NEW york POLITICS.

New York, Oct. S.Although profess
ing his determination to contest the
right Of the republican and citizens
union city convention to displace him
as their nominee for controller, Edward
M. Grout has made no appeal to the
coruts thus far. The filing of the
amended ticket of the republican or
ganization with the board Of elections
was made without protest from either
Mr. Grout or Mr.. Fornes, and thus one
step in the process Of substitution has
been accomplished.
Tammany Hall held its borough and
county conventions tonight. The latter
nominated Justice Henry Bischoff ia
succeed himself as Justice of the SUI

.ANGLO.fRENCH CONVENTION
GENERAL TERMS OF ARBITRA-
TTON TREATY CONCLUDED.
Mainly Significant as Issins culmina-
tion OF RRPprochment Between
turtles of fWarfare-Also Indicates Ter
T~5
dsncy Towards Rearrangement OF
European Alliances.

Paris, Oct. SIT was learned in au-
lucrative quarters this evening that the
terms of the general treaty of arbitra-
tion between France and Great Britain
have been concluded between Foreign
Minister Delcasse and the authorities
in London.
All the substantial features of the
treaty have now been settled. There
only remain minor questions of detail
and the signing of the treaty. These
formalities are so far advanced that the
treaty is considered to be an accom-
plished fact to-day. The advanced
stage of the negotiations has not yet
been communicated to the public. esv.-
The treaty follows the general lines of
the Hay-Pauncefote arbitration treaty
which to a considerable extent served
as a model. 1t is poitned out that the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, although re-
jected by the United States senate, now
serves the useful purpose of giving a
basis for this important Anglo-French
treaty. The officials also view the ne
gotiations as evidence of the synnpa-
thetie attitude of the United States,
France and Great Britain on the prac-
tical adoption of the theory of arbitra-
tion. The treaty is mainly significant
in being the elimination of the rap
prochement between France and Great
Britain after centuries of warfare, the
maintenance of defensive armaments
and the recen aniinosities growing out
Of the Fashoda incident and the South
African war. 1t is also significant Of
the tendency towards a Encouragement
of the European political alliances.
The treaty is mainly the outcome of
the exchange of visits between King
Edward and President Loubet and the
visit Of Baron d d'EstourneIles de Con-
stant and the French parliamentarians
to London. Official pourparlers fol-
lowed 5a 3
French feeling heretofore has been
rather sceptical over the practical reali-
cation Of the treaty and when its ad-
vanced stage is known it will occasion
widespread attention and discussion in
France and throughout the rest oftEu-
