keep them from being In low uenoH1ihH-
tions so as to have all the good effect OF
a popular loan. They would be paid
in greenbacks, and hence would not
arouse any antag osism or precipltate the
coinage question.
The ssgreenbacks received for these
notes would be immediately paid out for
current expenses, so there would be no
contraction in that direction. No re-
form in our financial system is possible
without more evenue This is the
foundation stone. Until we can supply
more revenue these Allison notes would
be the only possible substitute.
The Allison notes would not, Of course,
obviate the necessity Of a bond issue to
secure gold for the restoration OF the
gold reserve to it's normal size OF $780,
100000, but would provide other
resources. so that when the reserve is
restored it will not again be necessary to
draw on that fund TO meet the ordinary
expenses Of the government"
1t is thought that this plan would aid
materially IN keeping the gold reserve
up to the desired figure.

GENERAL STRIKE PROBABLE.
COnnellsville Coke Workers Will De
mand Higher Wages.

UNIoNTOwN. Pa. Sept. s.-Indications
point TO a general strike throug hout the
Connellsville coke region next week or the
week after. The great boom in the iron
market has stimulated the coke trade and
forced the price of coke up 10 $50 a ton,
an advance of 70 cents a ten over the sell
ing price at the close of the great strike a
year ago. Last spring the operators grant
cd an advance of 10 per cent. to avoid a
threatened strike. Since that time the price
of coke has been on the jump, and the men
now demand another advance in wages
commensurate with the advance of coke
The operators are unwilling TO accede to
their demands. For several months the
men have been secretly organizing. A dele
gates convention was held at Connellsville
to-day. All the works were represented by
ffty-one delegates, who voted
to demand 81 per one hundred bushels for
mining. and a general advance on all other
kinds of labor OF III per cent. the advance
to go into effect next Monday. The dele
gates favored a strike Sept. 10 IL the adj

admirably shown in the aria f2om the

selections were the Spanish Serenade,'" by

THE CHANG-T RIOTS
STATE DEPARTMENT DECIDES ON AN
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION.
China IL Expected to Lend support to
the American Inquiry-Minister
DENLY Criticised by Rev. Reid.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The United
States government, 1t is authoritatively an
nounced at the State Department, has de-
cided to enter forthwith upon an indie
pendent investigation Of the Cheng-Tu
riots with the cooperation of a Chinese
representative. AS at first arranged, the
inquiry was to nave been made in CO.
operation with England, but there has been
a change Of plan within the past few
days, occasioned partly by the fact that
the British consul at Chung-King, who is
to conduct the investigation on behalf of
his government, has been detained at his
post and it is said will not be able to
begin the inquiry for a month or more.
There are also understood to be other
reasons why the State Department of this
government has decided upon an
independent investigation, such as
France has already made. AMI
such as England will make
later. 1t is said at the State Department
that it is not true. however, AS has been
represented, that the policy of this govern
ment has been changed by any feeling
Of dissatisfaction or resentment caused by
on Enslandis past in proceeding will the
inquiry. The department has other rea-
sons which 1t Is not yet prepared to make
public.
China is expected to LEND her support
to the American inquiry to the extent
Of supplying an escort to the persons
who will conduct IL, but who have not
yet been designated, and will probably
furnish an official who will cooperate
with the American investigator as in the
Ku-Cheng investigation. The investigation
is expected to be made by some official
now on the Chinese coast. 1t will probably
take a month TO reach Cheng-Tu, which
is the capital of the interior province of
Sze-Chuan and lies some 1900 miles from
the nearest ocean port.
