A Way to End Boycott.

At a meeting of the boycott committed
OF the Chinese guilds and American
merchants at Hongkong yesterday the
former drew up the following demands,
the granting OF which, they say, would
be necessary to bring the boycott to an
end
First-A distinct definition OF the
term "laborer."
Second-Tbat legislation affecting the
Chinese must have the approval of the
Chinese government.
Third-That American consuls in
China be authorized to issue certificates
for admission to the United States oil
Chinese, except laborers, without hind
RANGES, except in cases OF fraud.
FOurth-The issue of passports by the
Chinese or other governments for sub
mission to American consuls preparatory
to the granting of certificates.
Ffth-Medical examination prior ia
derarture to be conducted by one Amer
lean doctor and one European doc
tor, the latter to be appointed by the
Chinese authorities, with a similar ex-
animation on arrival in the United
States if found necessary.
The sixth and seventh demands call
for most favored-nation treatment OF
Chinese residents and travellers in the
United States.
The eighth demand repudiates excep-
tional registration.
Ninth-The admission of Chinese lab
orers to the Islands of Hawaii ard Phil
ippines, provided the local authorize:
are willing.
Tenth-In case of necessary inquiry
on arrival there is t. be no detention,
provided security be furnished. Techni
nal errors in papers are not to be con-
sidered a bar to admission.
Eleventh-The admission of the lami-
lies of Chinese residents, the importation
Of females being safeguarded.

Lichtshin in Distress.

Newport, r. l., Dec. lI.-Assistance
has been sent to the Nantucket South
Sboal lightship which sprang a leak yes
terday. Nothing has been heard from
the lightship by wireless telegraph since
two O'clock this morning, when help was
called for AS early as three o'clock yes
terday afternoon the water was reported
to have reached the fires in the engine
room of the ligbtship. The Lighthouse
tender Azalea has gone 20 the assistance
of the distressed craft from New Bedford
leaving at 1880 o'clock last night. 1t is
said here that those few sailors about
the dock as the lines were cast off shook
their heads and the opinion was general
that no ship of the size Of the Azalea had
any business outside of tAe headlands
on such a night. A gale from the north
west was blowing and the temperature
was dropping way below the freezing
point
The revenue cutter Gresham also left
Boston harbor last might to go to the as
sistance of the lightship.
the gunboat Hist left here for the
lightship early today. The wireless
message received from the distressed ship
at O'Clock this morning read: MAN

Send help from anywhere"
The wind and sea ere subsiding today,
so that if the lightsh!p is still aaoat, the
rescue of the crew can be made with less
danger and difficulty.

One of the Washington papers OF yes

it is iutimated that Col. james K. Cation
Of Alexandria may give him trial for

The rapid influx of Russians to

Brazil After Germany.

Facts disclosed yesterday concerning
the arrest of the so-called deserter from
the German army at Itajay, Brazil, By
the officers of the cruiser Panther, indi-
cate trouble between Germany and
Brazil
The orders of the Brazilian admiral
sent to look into the case are to demand
the return of the prisoner to the city
where he was arrested anil the rendering
of the customary apology to the national
flag. That is, the firing of national
salute OF twenty-One guns, with the
Brazilian colors at the fore peak.
The instructions are so worded that
if the German captain refuses to return
the prisoner, the Brazilian admiral, in
his discretion, may apply such pressure
as is necessary to compel compliance
with the request. The only pressure he
could apply would be detention of the
Panther in Brazilian waters under threat
of firing on the German ship should she
undertake to leave.
Immediately after the arrest of the So
called deserter, the Panther departed for
Rio do Sol, where she was at the time
of the last aIvces received by the Bra
zilsn government. Thither the three
ships are proceeding with all haste, so as
to make possible the interview between
the captain OF his imperial majesty's
ship and the rear admiral believed to be
in command of the Brazilian craft. II
will undoubtedly become chase if the
Panther has sailed from Rio do Sol.
1t is learned that The arrest was made
in hotel in the presence Of large
nu nber of persons, and that Steinhofer
offered some resistance, so that it is not
a case of ordinary shanghaiing or of hay
ing induced German subject, by decep-
ton, to place himself in the power of
representatives of the sovereign to whom
he once owed allegiance. On the con-
trary, it appears as a case OF wiliful and
fragrant disregard Of every rule govern
ing intercourse between nations.

Rush Order

Orders from Washington were received
at the navy yard at Norfolk Sat
urday to put force at work on the bat
tleship Kentucky and 'orpedo-boat de-
stroyers yesterday and last night. These
are the first orders for emergency SUM-
day work received at the Norfolk navy
yard in some time. No explanation for
rush work on the ships at this time could
be obtained from the officials. The de-
partment orders, so it was stated, were
to have the batteships Kentucky and
Iowa and the torpedo boat destroyers
ready for service by December rs. III
kinds of rumors we're afoat Saturday as
to the probable cause for the orders from
Washington. The statement published
in Norfolk that reported violation of
the Monroe doctrine by Germany was
responsible for the orders was laughed at
by officials. The vessels at Norfolk are
all expected to be ready by January 6,
and the large amount of work on the
bsttleships makes night and Sunday
work necessary.

BaIfour Defends UniOnists.

Declining TO discuss the platform OF
the unionists OF of the liberals in the
coming election, former Premier Arthur
]. Balfour, in addressing his constitu.
ents at Manchester Saturday afternoon,
defended the action of the uniOnist gov
eminent in its retention OF Office on the
ground that it was essential to wait IN
til the nglo.Japanese treaty was finally
concluded and other essential features
of the government programme carried
out.
The late Premier made strong plea
for unity during the elections. He
hoped that the new administration, when
it handed the reins back to the union
lists, would be able to point to record
equally creditable to the country, but
predicted the failure of the liberals to
carry out their programme.
Referring briefly to home rule, he as
serted that, whether the radicals were
ashamed of it or not, home rulers they
were and home rulers they would re-
main. The meeting passed vote Of
confidence in Mr.. BaIfOur.

THE action of Congress last session IN
making it an offence punishable by dis
missal from Office, fine and Imprisonment
for the head fany executive department
to send to Congress an estimate for de-
ficiency appropriation that is MT requlr-
ell by law enables the present Congress
t. start with the phenomenal record OF
but one deficiency estimate before it.
This is an estimate from the Secretary of
the Navy, and is to provide 81, 600, 600
for repairs to the steam machinery OF
naval vessels. 1t is estimated by the
appropriation committees of the Senate
and the House that the penalty provision
against emergency estimates will save
the government many millions of dollars
each year. 1t requires every approprla
ton to be so divided that it shall be dis.
trbuted evenly throughout the year for
the work to be accomplished.
