WAS NOTHING BUT
FRIENDLY MEETING,
No Blood Was spilled When Greene
and Lawson Met i'm Boston.

and Lawson Met i'm Boston.
Boston, Dec. 16.-Col William Greene
of New York. who this last week ac-
cused Thomas w. Lawson of this city
of being responsible for the recent
break in Copper shares, came to Bos-
ton to-day and was met at the Hotel
Touraine by Mr.. Lawson.
The nature of thes statements issued
by both Col Greend and Mr.. Lawson,
but particularly byk Col. Greene, who
considered that Mrk dawson was to
blame for the raid Fupon the stock of
the Greene Consoiidated Copper Com
pany, together With the market devel-
opments of the past few days, all had
combined to suggest the possibility of
clash between the two operators.
So far as became known, however,
nothing of the kind took place.
A member of a prominent Boston ar
bitrage firm, who attended the confer
ence, issued a statement which he said
had been assented to by both Col.
Greene and Mr.. Lawson. The sub
stantial part of the statement was that
Col. Greene had maintained at the con-
ference that the recent breaks in the
stock market were due to the public
utterances of Mr.. Lawson; that the
colonel felt keenly the decline in GER
tain stocks in which he was interested
and that Mr. Lawson had maintained,
in answer to Col. Greene, that he had
done nothing to bring about any fall
in the stocks in which Col. Greene
was interested. The statement conclud-
ed with the words
Each Understands the other.
Each gentleman has a perfect un-
derstanding of the others position.
There is nothing further to state of
public interest"
Col. Greene and Mr.. Lawson each
refused to discuss in any way the
conference, saying that the general
statement contained all they had to
express.
Col. Greene had Hnblicly advertised
that he would call Upon Mr.. Lawson,
but Mr.. Lawson Anticipated this by
appearing at the Holel Touraine at an
early hour. Mr.. Latxson seemed con-
strained, when theN met, but Col.
Greene smiled warmly uttered a cor
dial salutation and extending his hand,
which Mr.. Lawson keized, invited the
Boston operator. toI his room. Col.
Greene's manner sebmed very happy,
but Mr.. Lawson wa$sapparently much
reserved. The men were in conference
in Col. Greene's room for almost seven
hours, all outsiders and all messages
| of every kind being excluded.
Police Were ON Hand.
Meantime the police had arrived and
virtually taken possession Of the ho-
tel, three officers in citizens clothes
patrolling the corridor, upon which
Col. Greenes rooms were located,
while Chief Inspector Watts and 9TH
/ er detectives remained on guard in the
Mr.. Lawson and Col.' Greene both
made a hurried exit from the hotel

Three Japanese Torpedo Boats Have
Been Lost During the Last Month

May Hold Ont for Months Say Ar
rivals at Che Foo.
Che Foo, Dec. 16.-Passengers who
arrived here to-day from the Kwang-
tung peninsula confirm the truthful
ness of the official Japanese reports of
the sinking of various Russian ships
recently at Port Arthur.
They say the Japanese would have
been able to accomplish this at any
time in the past two months, but ap-
parently preferred to use their guns
against the Russian military forces.
1t is believed the destruction of the
Russian ships indicates that the Japa-
nese abandoned the hope of capturing
the fortress. The Japanese lost three
torpedo boats within the past month
by mines, the last one sinking during
the night attack of Dec. IA on the
RuSSldl odStiSSuiU oSNdSIoIOH'
The fighting during which Two Hun
dred and Three Meter Hill was cap
tured was terrific, that achievement
alone costing the Japanese 1900 cas-
ualties. The Japanese have been un-
able to occupy the hill except for OBJ
servation. They have taken none of
the main forts.
Three steamers laden with ammuni-
ton and provisions ran the blockade of
Port Arthur within the last fortnight,
and there are high hopes that the fort
ress will hold out for many months.
THE Japanese are alleged to be de-
pressed at their unsuccessful sacrifice
of lives.
