TROOPS WATCH STRIKERS
GUARDING PERTH AMBOY
PLANT AGAINST RIOTERS.
Precaution Taken by officials to Pre-
vent Any Further Outbreaks.
Conference With Mayor.

PERTH AMBOY, y. j., November 26.-
With troops patrolling the streets of
keasby to prevent the rioting strikers
from again attacking the works of the
National FireprOofing Company. the little
village today presented outwardly
calm aspect. although the uncertainty of
the situation was apparent on all sides.
All the works were strongly picketed by
soldiers. and the LOCO or more strikers
kept out of sight. All the saloons of the
village are closed and every precaution
has been taken to guard against any
outbreak.
A conference has been arranged today
between the Lithuanian priests of this
district and Bishop McCaul of Trenton,
and it is expected that they will be able
to prevail upon the strikers to arbitrate
their difference
A conference will also be held between
the Mayor of Perth Amboy, the officers of
the National Fireproofing Company and
representatives of the strikers. The
strikers who were shot yesterday during
the attack were said to be recovering al
the hospital.
The difficulty of feeding the troops,
which nearly precipitated a famine last
night, was removed today when a COM
missary arrived with ample stores.

AMERICANS ARE NOT IN 1T
Duel From Start Between German
and Italian Cars.
HUNDREDM1LEs AN HOUR MADE
High Speed on Straightaway-Sev-
enty Miles Is Average
Pace Of Leaders.

SAVANNAH. November 26.-Delayed
forty-five minutes in starting because of
a dense fog that covered the course like
q wet blanket. the first American grand
prize race of 402 miles was run here to-
dav.
Twenty powerful racing cars. fourteen
of them of foreign make, were sent plung-
ing into the fog banks at 9:4J O'Clock.
Despite the hazard of the gray mist the
drivers hurled their throbbing machines
over the slippery, oiled roadways at an
average speed varying from &C to 20 miles
an hour. with straightaway flights be-
tween the curves of 100 miles and more.
The race soon developed into a fight
between the Italian Flats and the German
Benz cars. For the first 10 miles the
issue of the lead lay between four cars
that We're separated by only 30 seconds.
De Palma. in the Fiat No. IS, dashed
into the lead at the start and held it for
two laps when tire troubles held him
back Henriot. in the German Benz No.
L. jumped then to the lead and held it
until the eighth lap.
Then Wagner. in the Fiat No. II, py the
utmost daring sent his car from fifth to
first place. Hemery. in the German Benz
No. s, was second at this period, with
the race half over. and Navarro in a
Fiat was third.
Wagner was delayed for supplies on
the ninth lap, and the race was so close
that he dropped from first to third place.
HemeFy, in the Benz No. s, the favorite
in the betting, took the lead for the first
time, and Navarro. in The Fiat No. 6, took
second.
The American cars in the race did not
have a chance with their speedy foreign
rivals after the first four laps had ended.

With His Tour in This Country.


NEW YORK. November 26. Lii Sum
Ling the Chinese editor who has been
making tour of the United States,
leaves today for his home at HongKong.
Before his departure, MIR. Ling addressed
a letter to Mr.. Taft, who had received the
Chinese editor during his western trip, in
which he says:
Il am about to leave America for my
home in China. ! have just returned from
extensive trips through western and south
ern states, where | received most kindly
welcome at the hands of both officials and
private citizens and where | was given an
opportunity to advocate and advance the
United States and China-the idea you
were kind enough to permit me to discuss
with you during my tour Of the west.
Il have been cheered and encouraged
during my tour to find in all sections of
the country deep sympathy with China, a
universal desire TO help her on the path
to progress, and keen appreciation OF
the mutual advantages that would accrue
from closer relations between these two
friendly peoples.
Now. upon the eve of my departure
from the United States. | desire to eX-
nation over whose destiny you are sum-
felt thanks.
Il sincerely hope that the very friendly
relations which now exist between the two
peoples will continue to increase more
and more every day. Yours respectfully,

OFFICIALS ARE RETICENT
Believed That Diplomatic Notes Will
Be Exchanged.
BENEFICIAL EFFECT EXPECTED
Thought That a Definite Pronounce
ment Will Give Impetus to the
Worlds Development.

TOXIC, November 26.-Persistent rumors
declaring that negotiations are now in
progress at Washington between Ambas-
sador Takahira and Secretary of State
Root looking to the interchange of diplo-
matte notes definitely outlining policies
and China have equal opportunity of find
ing credence among the newspapers here
whose sources of information are gen.
orally excellent. One man who may be
considered an authority on official matters
declared today that he has reason to be-
lieve that such notes had already actually
been exchanged at Washington. but in
quiries at the foreign office. while failing
to elicit a fiat denial of the report can
not be said to have brought out direct
confirmation. The officials of the Ameri-
can embassy are also preserving a dis
Greet silence and no information could be
gained there.
These rumors are being widely discussed
in Toxic, and it may be said that the con-
sensus of opinion tends toward a full be
lief that the pending exchange of such
notes is we'll founded report
former member of the cabinet and a
man who held a high position under the
former ministry said today:
Il am not in the confidence of the pres
ent ministry concerning every step that
is taken. but I have reason to believe that
the report that an exchange of notes at
Washington is pending is we'll founded.
Every one will be pleased to receive news
OF the sealing of such a pact of friend
ship between the two countries, as it will
forever silence the mischief makers and
calamity howlers who for the past two
years have spared no effort to promote
friction between America and Japan
pronouncement which would definitely
state the policies of both countries as to
the Pacific and Chinese commerce gener-
ally would give great impetus to the
peaceful development of the entire civil
lied world. l devoutly hope that the
rumOrs are true"
