New York, Jan. 6. Andrew Furu
seth, appointed by President Wilson
to represent the American Seamen at j
the international congress for the
safety of life at sea, came here yester
day from London to tell president why j
he resigned that post. Furuseth is '
-resident of the National Seamen's
union of America. I
Furuseth said he gave up his post I
because he could not agTee with his j
American colleagues regarding recom
mendations for the manning of life
boats. He considered that steamships
Hhould carry sufficient men of three
years' experience to man life boats in
rase of disaster, and accused the other
delegates of trying to lower the exist
ing standards of safety.
-' He said that in Washington he
would work for the adoption of the
seamen's bill now in congress.
"At present New York is the worst
'shanghai' port on earth," he added,
"bailors here, who get into debt to
boarding house keepers are bought
and sold like slaves, tinder the bill
in congress such conditions would not
exist, for the wages paid here and the
protection guaranteed all sailors, of
whatever nationality, would attract
sailors from all over the world and
they would put an end to the 'shang
hai' system."
Cleveland, O., Jan. 6. A strike

Bakery company, where the strike oc
curred. Makoff is the largest baiter
of kosher bread in the city.
Thes trikers demanded that some
of MakofTs employes bo allowed to
lay oil, so that other union bakers
who are out of work might be em
ployed. According to J. Vlnitsky, bus
iness agent of the union, the bakers
obtained all of their demands.

"I am sure that Charlotte Is under

London, Jan, 6. Sir Lionel Carden,
British minister to Mexico, la shortly
to be transferred to Rto de Janeiro
as minister to Brazil. He was ap
pointed to Mexico July 18, 1913, to
succeed Francis William Stronge.
The successor to Sir Lionel Carden
at Mexico City will probably be
Charles Murray Marling, senor coun
sellor In the British diplomatic service,
although the two legations possess the
same Btandlng in the service, would
have been made sometime ago except
for the fact that the British foreign
office would not make the change
while the minister was under fire for
the alleged interviews in which he
was made to reflect on the policy of
the the United States toward Mexico.
The diplomatic change in Mexico
will be received with surprise, when
it becomes known on this side of the
Atlantic, for while Sir Lionel's actions
break of the Mexican troubles have
been considered somewhat indiscrete
by the general public, nobody here
believed that he had done anything
to justify the attacks on him which
appeared In some of the American pa
pers. In fact it is expected that the
official statement which will doubt
less be Issued when the changes are
made will explain that Sir Lionel's
transfer to Rio de Janeiro in no way
casts discredit on the minister.
Sir Lionel Carden probably will
come to England before groins; to his
new post. It is said by his friends
that when Sir Lionel went to Mexico
he was offered the choice of going di
rect to Rto de Janeiro to succeed Sir
William Henry Doveton Haggard, who
had reached the retiring age, or of
spending six months in Mexico as min
ister there before proceeding to Bra
zil. Owing to the state of health of
his wife Sir Lionel decided to go to
Mexico first.
Unfortunately, Sir Lionel went to
Mexico with a reputation of being
anti-American, at a time when a good
understanding between the United
States and Great Britain was , vital.
Naturally the British government de
fended Sir Lionel against the attacks
made on him, but the belief prevailed
at the time that it would be better to
find another post for him.
The salary of the British minister
at Rio Is $17,500 with a house allow
ance of $1250 while that at Mexico
City Is $5000 less and no house al
lowance. !
Charles Murray Marling, the prob
able successor of Sir Lionel Carden,
has had a long and varied career In
the diplomatic service, which he join
ed in 1S88. Most of the time he has
occupied diplomatic posts in the east,
at Constantinople, Athens, and Tehe
ran, but he has also served at Paris,
Sofia, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro.
