WASHINGTON. Dec. 14-China will take

nation has been received at the State De-

q long negotiation in which il was hoped
that the empire might be persuaded TO take

clusion of the Chinese authorities.
The grounds of declination are that
the United States has Disseminated

ing their entrance into this country. The
position of the Emperor was clearly defined
during the conference. He could not sec
come TO the Columbian exposition. and yet

ent time the Chinese could not come TO the
exposition without a special act of Con-
gress, and China does not want to be put in

cial passport The Chinese authorities say
they will allow Chinese merchants al

Situation In the Coal Region Growing Worse
and Worse with the Rising of Every Sun.
BRAZIL. Ind, Dec. 14.-The situation in
bituminous coal regions IN Indiana, in
which some twenty thousand miners are
on strike. is gloomy one for the strikers
and its outcome may bring the wolf to the
door OF many q deliver in the bowels of the
earth In adjacent States. The Indiana
strike is one of desperation, accord
ing to the stories of the old-time men,
and certainly the outlook is one
of piching hunger, If not actual
starvation, cold and nakedness. The mine
operators say that the present strike IS in
violation of an agreement mado by the men
last spring not to ask for an advance in
wages for one year. and that. in view of
that fact, they will not negotiate with the
strikers. The latter say that the mine
owners took advantage of them in the
spring. when they were not prepared for q
strike. to force them in to signing an unjust
scale, and that in refusing to keep that
contract any longer than necessary they
are no more blamable than they would be
to turn upon a highway robber whenever
opportunity offered. They declare that the
miners of Indiana have been more oppressed
and ground down than those of any other
State in the Union; that their wages have
been less; that they have been subjected to
all sorts of oppression; that their condition
was little better than that of Russian con-
victs in Siberian mines. and that they
struck for moro decent treatment in sheer
desperation, preferrinG starvation to fur
ther submission.
Though their committeeman are trying to
hide the fact. il is nevertheless true that
many of the men and their families are
already on the verge of starvation, su bsist-
ing on one meal day, and have been do
ing SD for Two weeks. The relief received
thus far has been very scant. and in some
places the strikers are totally without fuel,
the mine-owners having undertaken TO
freeze men out by refusing even to
sell them coal. In the face OF all this how
determin alton to fight 1t out to the death,
if needs be. There is hope, however, that
this will not become necessary, as the ma
tiOnal executive board of the Coal-miners'
Association of the United States has at last
recognized the strike and approved it. and
has issued q call to all of it's members to
contribute to the relief of the strikers. This
broadens the scope of the fight. 1t has been
stated that mIne-owers in adjoining States
have been supplying contracts for Che In
diana mine-owners. This will be investI-
gated by the board. and If it cannot be
checked in any other way the miners in
those States will be called out, also.

standing. Let us move onward. Press our

The report proceeded to state that during
the year ending Oct. 81. 1891. 246 charters
had been issued 70 unions In thirty States.
among them eighteen in Illinois and twenty
SIX in Indiana. Charters have also been
granted to ten national unions. making 2
total of $50 during the year. The financial
exhibit showed that the receipts of the
year bad been s2l, $40. and that the total ex-
penditures had been S13.1g9, leaving bal
ance of ss 156. OF the total expenditures
nearly $4,000 represented loans and dona-
tions TO organizations on strike. The state
ment of expenditures was rendered notable
by the item showing that the total outlay
for salaries on account of an organization
with hundreds of branches and a member
ship of three quarters of million was but
the paltry sum of $4,000.

arrested Braunsing for Sullivan. The en-
tire population turned out to the court

took him three hours to explain. Every
apology was made when the mistake was
discovered.
In regard to the Council of Federated
Trades of the Pacific coast the
committee on credentials referred the
question of admitting delegates di-
rectlv to the convention itself.
The San Francisco case is the most impor-
tant question likely to come before the
convention. with the possible exception of
the bOycOtt. Delegate Carter did not
wish to oppose the seating of the
San Francisco delegates. but he questioned
the wisdom of such action. They should
be careful lest they encourage subordina-
tion. They should not let sympathy
lead them asrray. Delegate Valentine,
of San Francisco. believed that if any
local union was guilty of insubordination
it should be suspended. The San Francisco
federation had been suspended for not pay
ing an assessment, not on account of
the money involved, but because they
knew 1t TO be unjust. Money was no OBJ
ject in the matter. DELEGATE Jones moved
that special committee of five
be appointed to consider the San
Francisco case, and after proionge
discussion the resolution was adopted.
The President appointed Blackmore. N.Y.
ron, Smead, Faulkner and Shields as the
committee, with Instructions TO report to-
morrow morning. The final action of the
convention is in great doubt. the chances
