NEW YORK, December ;0.-Accordine

ano Castro the deposed President Of Ven.
ezuela, is coming to America from Eu.
rope, the steamer will not dock until
early tomorrow morning.
1t had been thought that the vessel
would arrive late today, but the nearest
it can make will probably be the quaran-
tine station. Even then Castro may
learn that he is an unwelcome guest in
America. as an immigration inspector is
said to have been commissioned to meet
the ship down the bay.
Castro however, will remain on board
the steamer until she reaches her pier
and will then be transferred to Ellis Is
land for the proceedings which the fed
erai government plans to keep him from
landing.
Castro is travelling in first-class cabin
as 'Senor Ruiz according to the dis
patches. and he will be given first-class
accommodation at the immigration sta
ton. including a comfortable bedroom. a
sitting room. a private bath. and for eX-
ercise he will be allowed to promenade
on the roof gardens.
The test of the right of detention will
be considered by special board of in
qliiry and the Venezuelan is likely to
have to wait for considerable time before
the verdict Is reviewed at Washington.

Not Cordially Greeted.

The advent of Kiderlen-Waechter was
not greeted with great enthusiasm i'm the
German imperial parliament. Iie was a
very poor orator and his speeches did not
create good impression. He was known,
however. as one of the shrewdest men
in German diplomacy, and was regarded
as an expert on affairs of the near east,
owing to his having been stationed for a
long time in the Balkans. and his disap-
pearance from the German cabinet at tie
present time is considered a great mis-
fortune.
During his short period of Office as for
eiSn secretary he was very successful In
steering the international politics of the
German empire through a period of un-
usual ENHANCEMENT, more especially In
-egard to the settlement of the dispute
between France and Germany as 10 the
future of Morocco. The negotiations
were brought to a successful termination

MAY HAVE INFLUENCE
ON PEACE CONFERENCE
Effect of Death of Won Kider-
Ien-Waechter and Meeting
of Commons.

LONDON, December 3O.-The peace con-
ference between the delegates of the
Balkan states and Of the Turkish en-
pire assembled at o'clock this after
noon in st. James Palace for it's seventh
session. DR.. s. Daneff. speaker OF the
Bulgarian parliament. presided.
It is expected here that the course of
the negotiations may be influenced by
three events.
The first of these is the death OF the
German foreign secretary. Alfred Won
Kiderlen- Waechter. which, coming soon
after that of Baron Marschall Won Bic
berstein. formerly German ambassador
at Constantinople and afterward at Lon
don, deprives Turkey Of two valuable
supporters and convinced upholders of
the maintenance of the Ottoman empire.
Kiderlen- Waechter was supposed to have
been the instigator of the Austro-Hun-
garian armaments on the Balkan frontier.
sympathies With Turkey.
The second occurrence is the rea ssem-
bling Of the house of commons today. AL
though Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign secretary, is determined to maintain
Great Britan's strict neutrality, he cam
not prevent members of the house asking
questions which show the trend of public
opinion. Turkey has many sympathizers
here.
The third point is the resumption of the
meetings of the European ambassadors,
from which may come the olive branch.
The widely published report that Tur-
key has succeeded in negotiating loan
in London is discredited here. 1t was ru-
mored that a number of British bankers
had consented to lend the Ottoman gov
ernment S1OOOO,OOO on condition that
Turkey would grant autonomous govern
ment to the Hebrews in Palestine.
Advised to Come to Terms.
CONSTANTINOPLE, December 30
The ambassadors of most of the Euro
pean powers have advised the Ottoman
government to make an effort to come to
terms with the Balkan allies.
The Russian ambassador here in par
ticular coupled his advice with warn
ing as to the dangerous consequences of
deIav in view of the situation in Asia
Minor.
This Russian representation has pro-
duced a disagreeable impression in Turkish
circles while the agitation in the army in
favor of a resumption of hOstilities con-

NEW YORK. December 30.-Man and
woman garment workers, estimated in
number at 125.OOO. went out on strike in
New York today. tying up approximately
1900 factories. They demand higher pay
and better working conditions. Mass
meetings of the strikers began as early
as am and at daylight, in a drizzline
rain, picket squads of twelve had been
posted at all the factories affected. In
each squad were at least two women.
Forty-five halls throughout the city
have been engaged by the strikers for
gathering places. Violence has been dis
countenanced by the leaders and the
waIkout today was accompanied by no
disorder.
Confined to Makers of Male Clothes
The strike is confined at present to the
makers OF men and boys clothing. OF
the lbs 600 workers in this industry, there
are about 10000 women. 1t was declared
today, however, that the ladies' garment
workers union was also at work organ
izing it's forces for the demand OF an eX-

1t will be the first large strike In this
branch OF the industry here.

An eight-hour day. 90 per cent increase

There have been no organized negotia-

the union. The strike was decided upon
by vote. I'm which 10000 of the workers
participated
Possibilities of a spread of the strike
to other cities We're not featured in state
ments by the leaders, but it was de-
clared that the tie-up in New York would
affect the country at large. Four big
sections of the city, which have been
thickly settled with Jewish immigrants

OF the strike. These are known as the

RESCUED CREW IN PORT
Taken From Schooner Ray
NAH, Abandoned H.. IN !.
Mid-AtIantic.

NEW YORK. December 3O.-The steam
er Ardoyne of the Barber lines. arriving
today from Antwerp. brought Capt.
Tibbs and six men, the crew Of the Brit
ish schooner Raymah. abandoned in mid
ocean on December Is.
The Raymah. a schooner Of ninety-five
tons burden, sailed from BURN, New
foundland. on December 10, for Oporto
with cargo of fish. Stormy weather.
strong gales and heavy seas drove her
we'll on her course until a gale swept
away the mainmast. Before it could be
cut clear of the entangling rigging sew
eral holes were pierced in the schooner s
hull and the lifeboat was carried over
board.
. The crew worked at the pumps to keep
the little craft af1oat until help came.
Fortunately the weather subsided and.
as if by miracle. the Ardoyne hove in
sight within a few hours.
Before leaving the Raymah the crew
set her on fire to prevent her becoming a
menace to navigation. The rescued men
will return to their homes in Newfound-
land.
Picked Up in Midocean.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina. December
3O.-The steamship Edernian arrived here
today with the crew Of the British steamer
South Atlantic on board. The shipwrecked
sailors were picked up in mid-Atlantic
after they had abandoned their vessel.
which left Barry. Wales, on November
81. for Buenos Aires.
According to Lloyds the report that the
Edern!an had rescued twenty-siN of the
crew of the Norwegian bark Nordstern
which was sailing from Pensacola to
Santos, is erroneous.
