STREET CARS BLOWN UP Crown Forces Patrol Scenes of Re cent Riots and City Is for Most Part Quiet. BELFAST. Nov. 24. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Two persons were killed outright and eight were wounded when a bomb exploded to night in a tram-car carrying a load of v shipyard workers along Royal avenue. Throughout the day the city, 'which has been the scene of several outbursts of bombing and shooting within the last three days, had been comparatively quiet. This new ex plosion, however, brought the total number of deaths elnce the disorders began to 22. Tonight two other tram cars were bombed, three persons being killed and a number seriously injured. This brings the number of deaths to 25. William Smallwood, supposed to have been responsible for one of the bombs, was arrested by troops, but he has protested his Innocence The crowd made desperate efforts to lynch htm. His home Is in the Sinn Fein quarter. Five shots were fired In a grocery tonight, killing the proprietor and a customer. The scenes of the sporadic out bursts of bombing and shooting which have taken place in various parts of the city during the last few days were closely patrolled by crown forces during the night and complete quiet prevailed early today.

The negotiations for an Irish settlement are feared to be nearing an unfavorable end, accord lng to a high authority today. There is apprehension that next week may witness their collapse un less more favorable circumstances hall develop. it was stated that Ulster Is no longer presenting the sole obstacle, but that the Sinn Fein has refused to accept allegiance to the king, al though willing to take the oath to an Irish constitution. Veto Stirs Sinn Fein. Furthermore, and equally Import ant. It was added, the Sinn Fein will not agree to a veto of Irish legisla tion by the British crown. The Sinn Fein Idea Is said to be a completely independent Irish state, although loosely connected with the other states in the empire. Acts of parliament creating British domin ions give the king the power of veto ing all legislation, but the constitu tional usage of this veto Is now never exercised. The Sinn Fein, however, was de clared to have made known Its belief that a similar veto power regarding Ireland wpuld constantly be used at the will of the Britlsn cabinet. The government regards this diffi culty as fundamental, it was asserted, and, should the Sinn Fein attitude re main unchanged, the negotiations, it was declared, must come to an end Premier Lloyd George is to meet Sir James Craig tomorrow In what may be the last effort to induce him as premier of Ulster to discuss alter native plans, devised to protect lister s interests, to the proposed all Ireland parliament, which the north ern delegates thus far have refused even to consider formally. Griffith Goes to Dublin. Meanwhile Arthur Griffith, chief of the Sinn Fein delegation, went to Dublin tonight to consult with Eamon de Valera, Irish republican leader. Mr. Griffith was accompanied by Michael Collins. George Gaven Duffy and Robert C. Barton, his delegation colleagues. This visit was understood to be a result of discussions between the Sinn Feiners and members of the British cabinet, at which Mr. Griffith and his colleagues are said to have made clear that they could not agree to swear allegiance to the British crown, their idea of association with the states of the British empire being by treaty, as would be the case with, foreign powers. Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Hunt, representa tives from California, who observed yesterday the 30th anniversary of their wedding, were ushered to the front -of the hall and presented with a bouquet of roses. Following yesterday afternoon's session the delegates were taken 'to Beaverton. where a Thanksgiving- day feast had been prepared by the grange under the direction of Master B. K. Denney. A programme given In connection with the banquet was arranged by B. G. Leedy. Today will be the final day of the convention and the first feature on the programme will be a trip to the Kastern at Western mill, where a log sawing demonstration will be staged for the benefit of the visitors. The party will leave for the mill at 8:30. The final business session will be held this morning, beginning at 10 o'clock. The afternoon will be taken up with the installation of officers. m WOULD KEEP GfOHI SECRET DEAL PROTESTED SEATTLE COU?"CIIi'S SALE OF BONDS DENOUNCED.

Vigorous protest against the city council's secret $2,000,000 water extension bond deal came from an sides Wednesday, with demands from Mayor Caldwell, Water Superin tendent Youngs and business men that the council rescind its action and offer the securities at Dubllc sale. Officials and business men alike held that the city lost from $60,000 to $100,000 by the transaction, which was hastily and secretly made Mon day afternoon by the council, without previous advertisement or public no tice to bond dealers,' other than the three firms whose Joint offer to pur chase the $2,000,000 block of 6 per cent Swan Lake utility bonds at par and accrued Interest was accepted.

That the wishes and advice of the superintendent of the water bu reau were disregarded In the trans- ractlon. 3. That the participation of City Engineer Dimock in conference pre ceding the transaction subjects him to severe criticism and that Mr. Dim ock will be warned that a repetition of this course will result in his re moval. 4. That a public instead of a pri vate sale of the bonds would have brought thcxlty a premium of 1 to 6 per cent aboSe par value. NURr RIDES WITH FMNCE PRINCESS' DRIVE LIKE TJMPHAL MARCH.

AUSTRALIAN WHEAT GOOD Improvement In Financial Situation Reported by Commission. WASHINGTON. D. C Nov. 24. Continued Improvement In the finan cial conditions of Australia was re ported to the commerce department today by Trade Commissioner Sanger at Melbourne. On the whole, the situa tion Is much better than a few months ago, he said. The improvement, he asserted. Is evidenced by the advance in exchange, and as the export figures continue to increase and imports decline there are prospects, he added, of still further Improvement. The wool marttet re mains generally firm, he reported, but stagnation continues in the meat and meat packing industry. Another promising feature, he eaid. was the expectation- of an excep tionally large wheat crop. MORE RAIN IS FORECAST Downpour for California, Idaho and Nevada Is Predicted. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.

Ad miral Kato came out of the briery bramble bush of far-eatern problems this afternoon long enough to inform a group of newspaper correspondents that Japan recognized Manchuria as being "part of China." Having made that statement, the admiral hopped hnclc Into the. busth aeain. The announcement, coming from the head of the Japanese delegation, that Japan defined "China" as inclusive of Manchuria had special interest for two reasons. In the first place, the Chinese republic has never succeeded in concluding with Japan a treaty specifically recognizing China's sov ereignty over Manchuria. Admiral Kato's statement is explicit, but it by no means goes so far as a settlement of what is called the "Manchuria problem." It was not intended to. The. nroblem in Manchuria is prl marily economic Japan controls and will continue to control until the year 2002 A. D., the chief iron and coal mines of Manchuria, as well as th? South Manchurian railway, which is the main artery of trade. Control or these DrODerties till 2002 is vested in Japan by the treaties based on the famous 21 demands. Control Variously Viewed. Bv various parties this control is viewed in different lights. ty cer tain western traders. Americans in eluded, it is contended that such con trol rives JaDarJ Dower to favor her own trade and to discriminate against the trade of other foreigners. -By tha'Chlnese if is contended that Japan is using and Intends to keep on using her economic privilege for the pur Dose of developing- her political power. By the Japanese themselves it is as serted that only through Japanese control of mines and railways, only through the presence of Japanese po lice to keep the peace, can Japan be assured of those supplies of raw ma terials which are essential to her. Manchuria Is one of the thorniest questions on the bramble bush of the far east, but this much may be said for certain: Japan regard her present status in that region as the most vital of all her Interests on the continent of Asia, and will .unquestionably noia out at all costs against any disturb ance of the present order. Not much progress, aside from what progress may have been made by Ad miral Kato s laconic statement, was effected by the conference today in its handling of far-eastern questions, "Autonomy Llmltn" Dlecueeed. The committee of the conference which has these questions in charge met at 11 o'clock an-d transacted one piece of business. It discussed the matter of limitations upon the ad mlnlstratlve autonomy of China, with particular reference to those connect ed with revenue, and appointed a sub-committee consisting of a repre sentative from each delegation to ex amine the question and draw up a re port. What the proposal adopted to day seems chiefly to be concerned with is the question of China's tar iffs. It is not a proposal, apparently. which is aimed at an Interpretation of the first of the four general prin ciples" adopted yesterday, for that principle is concerned not only with administrative autonomy" but with "sovereignty," "independence" and "territorial and administrative integ rity," subjects of which Senator Un derwood's proposal makes no mention. His proposal, therefore, is generally taken not as an attempt to elucidate principle No. 1 but rather as an ef fort to reach an agreement specifical ly upon questions of China's tariff. Such an agreement ought not to be difficult to reach, and the conference apparently wants to get something definite accomplished at the point of least resistance. Tariffs seem to pre sent such a point, for, provided an Increase Js applied equally to all traders, no single power's Interests would be unfairly injured and trade in China would not be seriously dam aged by some increase over the 6 per cent duty now in force. Government Needs Revenue. This '5 per cent duty was estab lished in 1902 by declarations made by China to the foreign powers. Five per cent has not yielded a handsome revenue, and revenue is something the Pekin government badly needs. It is lack of erevenue. for instance, which is one of the chief reasons why China cannot disband her useless and ex pensive armies. The armies wlllnot disband until they are paid. Mean-, time their military activity is limited to an occasional mutiny, and they go on piling up the Government's debts. When the subcommittee created as a result of Senator Underwood's motion shall have finished its investigation It will report back to its parent com mittee on Pacific and far 'astern questions. Meantime the larger com mittee will hold its fourth meeting. It adjourned today to meet at 4 o'clock tomorrow. BRIAND'S SPEECH JOKER (Continued From First Page.) tinue to bear the burden of an un duly heavy military establishment. Time and the potent influence of taxation will take care of that. A good deal of the spirit of pessi mism entertained by some persons here may arise from the fact that many of those who are recording the events of the conference for the public are pretty hard worked. H. G. Wells con fesses that the general mood is af fected "by congestion, mental and physical, and by sheer fatigue." Secretary Hughe Praised. He says "There is no reason In Washington, no cessation," and sighs for the time, a year ago, when be was "a happy invalid" beneath the sunny skies of Amaifi. He complains that here in Washington he must "live to the tiy.e of a telephone bell, and the little feverish American hours slip through my hot, dry hands before I can turn my thoughts around. I wish I could attend to everything." - The trouble with Mr. Wells is that he is too popular. He is too much of a lion. It is not so much the confer ence that wears him out as the social attentions, which he would honestly like to escape, but which he is too good-natured and friendly to be able altogether to keep at a distance. This applies not only to Mr. Wells, but also to the other foreign correspondents and delegates. Washington's deter mination to show our guests bow much we like them and to further the atmosphere of the conference by friendly attentions may have been a little overdone. Nevertheless, everything is going all right. Before the conference opened one of the foreigners said to me: "Mr. Hughes made one mistake that no' British statesman would have made. . In making his preparations for the conference he failed to Include a good long vacation for himself." Since then this foreigner and many others have had the opportunity to see Mr. Hughes in action and I don't be lieve they feel that he is in any need of a vacation. The pace that Mr. Hughes sets, his complete understand ing of exactly what is needed, and the perfectly urbane clarity of his mind are, without any doubt, the largest element in the speed and success of the conference. SHIP SALVAGE IS STUDIED COMMERCIAL USE MAY BE FOUND FOR NAVAL CRAFT. Arbitrary Rule Requiring Sinking or Total Destruction Grow ing In Disfavor. WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. 24. (By the Associated Press.) American of ficials are giving some thought to the possibility of salvaging as non-combatant naval or as commercial craft the three new battleships now afloat, but which would not be completed under Secretary Hughes' naval limi tation plan. They are hopeful that in fixing the methods of scrapping the conferees will not make an arbitrary rule that would require the ships to be sunk or otherwise totally de stroyed. It is possible, shipbuilding experts asserted today, that the Colorado, Washington and West Virginia could be converted into serviceable inter mediate liners for . commercial use purely. So far as known the committee of naval experts dealing with Secre tary Hughes' proposals has not reached the point of considering methods of scrapping. - It is still ham mering away at the innumerable technical details involved in the plan After almost two weeks of deliber ation the American naval reduction programme stands about where it was at the beginning, with the only formal statement as to counter pro posals being the announcement of Admiral Baron Kato for Japan that he would seek a slightly higher gen eral tonnage In capital ships and an equal tonnage In certain purely de fensive craft. Informal glimpses from many sides have indicated that the Japanese de sire to retain the battleship Mutsu and another capital craft, making a 10-10-7" ratio Instead of Secretary Hughes' proposed "5-5-3." The conference came to the Thanks giving recess, however, with every sign that the American group was standing firm in its original position for the "5-5-3" ratio. feeling between the British and the French and between the Italians and the French. Both these nations feel more resentment over Mr. Brland's speech than either of them has pub licly uttered. There was gossip with in the conference room to the effect that when the Italian chief delegate replied to Mr. Brland's speech. It had been his rhtention to do some plain talking. But any bellicose intentions he may have had were made impossi ble by the generosity of the speecn in which Mr. Balfour replied. Mr. Balfour was undoubtedly using the arts of diplomacy and if he had expressed the true feelings of the British he would have talked with some rancor. Nevertheless, Mr. Bal four and the others who are really dominant in the conference under, land the situation and are willing to let me reaucuon in me size of France's military establishment wait Economic Matters Viewed.
