mEDIATIoN IN THE EAsT.
No Reply TO the Presidents Offer to
Japan Received Yet.

London. Nov. 1S.-It is stated here on
good authority that the European powers
are not disposed to take any action in
regard to the war between China and Ja-
pan as long as the government of the
United States is Offering mediation.
Berlin, Nov 13.-The Cologne Gazette
says that Germany, while determined
to preserve absolute neutrality in the hos
tnues between China ana Japan, would
gladly see peace restored as the result
of the mediation OF the United States.
Washington, Nov. 13.-The flagship Bal
timore, with Admiral Carpenter in COM
mand returned to CNee-Foo Sunday
night after four days absence from that
harbor, during which time she visited
Port Arthur. Admiral Carpenter makes
no mention of the taking of Port Arthur
by the Japanese, his cablegram merely
announcing his return to CheeFoo.
Japan has not yet replied to the propo
sition advanced by President Cleveland
to mediate the differences between him
self and China. But IL is reasoned out
at the state department that the delay
Is probably owing to the difficulty of COM
munication and to the caution and di-
vision of opinion among the Japanese
ministry That Japan viii accept the
mediation of the United States is not
doubted, either at the state department
or in diplomatic circles. The war spirit
is intense In Japan and the hostility
to the Chinese Is exceedingly bitter. But
the influential element In the empire rec
ognize the absurdity of continuing the
war, when IL can be closed on terms ad-
vantageous to Japan, and their argu-
ments will prevail IL is again asserted
however, that Japan's position will be
negative one until she is made acquainted
with China's terms. If these terms be
acceptable, the war viii speedily close;
IL not. Japan will reject them and IL will
then rest with China to say what shall
be done So far as Japan is concerned,
there are, ii is said, no secret treaties
between herself and any other country TO
prevent her acting with entire mdepend-
encc I'm the matter

Tho Strikers.

John Mcbride, president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, which
declared the great soft-coal strike, has
sent q letter 10 the miners advising
them to accept the compromise agreed
on Monday night by the conference of
operators and miners. The Columbus
agreement for a compromise of the DIFF
f~erences between miners and operators
was v%ariously discussed in the different
districts yesterday. Some OF the min
ers are dissatisfied and say they will not
accept the terms of the compromise.
Organizer Wilson was again active
among the Maryland coal-miners, "stif-
fleming up the backbone Of the strike"
About 100 strikers gathered at Iona
coming to prevent miners from going TO
work, but interference was prevented
by Sheriff King and deputies. Several
arrests we're made by the sheriff and
the soldiers handed one or two men
over to the civil authorities at Frost
burg. There was no disorder. Notices
were posted by the American and New
Central Coal Companies inviting appli-
cations for work. At the Office OF the
superintendent of the American Coal
Company about 80 applied for their
tools. 1t was feared by the United
Mine Workers that these notices would
have the effect of securing q sufficient
number of men to resume work. There
was still further increase in the number
of men at work yesterday in the Con-
solidatiop mines.
Large numbers of deputies have been
sworn in before the United States mar
shals in Cincinnati, and despatched to
