Washington, Dec. 8. Acting on the suggestion of Consul General Guamere, at Tangier, the state department has postponed until February the visit of an American warship to Moorish ports to back up the demand for $5,000 in demnity on account of the killing- at Fez of Marcu Ezegini, a naturalize J American. Guamere stated that relig ious ceremonies, lasting over a month, would begin soon in Morocco, and during- that time no public business would 'be transacted. Secretary Long today cabled orders to Captain Chester of the battleship Kentucky to proceed from Smyrna, Turkey, to Manila. The Kentucky will make so hostile demonstration to en force the payment of the Armenian in demnity. It is believed here that the order of the sultan for the payment of the indemnity under cover of payment to Cramps for a cruiser was the result of the Kentucky's visit. Officials are disappointed, however, that the con tract for the cruiser has not been sign ed. REVISION OF CONFESSION OF FAITH RECOMMENDED Presbyterian Committee Concludes its Work at Washington.

INDUSTRIAL SURRENDER Change of Policy in England of Importance to Ameri can Interests Reported Project of Buy ing up the Best American Enterprises. A BLOW TO LABORING CLASSES OF GREAT BRITAIN CONFESSION THAT AMERICAN COMPETITION IN MANUFAC TURE IS INVULNERABLE CON DITIONS IN ENGLAND THAT ARE FORCING A CRISIS. (Special Cable to the Laffan Bureau, Copyrighted by the New York Sun.) London, Dec. 8. It may or may not be true that the Cramps and Vickers' Sons and Maxim will consolidate but it is a fact that certain leaders of Eng land's greatest industry are contem plating a radical change of policy of the utmost importance to American in terests. They realize the hoplessness of competition with Americans under present conditions and know that the conditions are changeable only by a gigantic struggle w ith labor unions which must bring disaster to both sides. They, therefore, are seriously considering -a project of buying up the best American enterprises and trans ferlng the greater part of their busi ness to the - American factories thus purchased. This policy involves a confession that American competition is invulnerable. but also spells ruin to industrial inter ests is several lines of British trade. There is notlhe slightest doubt that the most enlightened English manufactur ers understanl far better than" the Americans themselves the vast oppor tunities within the reach of the United ',: States for securing a great share of ttie world's trade. If they undertake to get control of American enterprises they wiU bf sure to offer tempting, even ab surd, prices. More ths&i one American concern, just launching out in foreign trade, Is likely soon to he tempted by an offer of fancy prices in Britsh gold, acconY panied probably fey an invitation to the present management to remain in con trol. Englishmen have far too high an opinion of American brains, to think of supplanting them, and above all they don't dream of discarding Ameri can, workmen. In fact it Is the supe rior intelligence and energy of Ameri can skilled labor which chiefly induces English capital to abandon the home field and go where ambition has tlie fullest scope and progress -is the watch word among employes as well as em ployers. Those who have the most to fear are, of course, the laboring classes of England. The lmemdiate question for Americans is, shall En glish capital secure a large share of the vast profits of American enterprise and labor? DON'T HURRY TO MEET CHRI8TMA8, for it Will oven take you.
