TEDDY INVADES KANSAS
Spoke Few Words of Dutch to a Crowd
 of Hollanders

Lebanon, Kas., September Ex-Governor Roosevelt's campaigning began early in Kansas this morning. The first stop made by the special train on its way to Kansas City was at Jennings at o'clock. At Hor- ton the Governor left the train, was es- corted to a platform in the open air and made a brief speech.
 Governor Roosevelt reminded his hearers that in 1860 Kansas had stood for liberty in deed and not in name only; for that liberty that knows how to govern itself and there fore how to govern others. He said that they would be unworthy sons If they did not try to maintain the heritage for which their fathers had shed their blood
 There was large number of Hollanders in the crowd, and the Governor saluted his hearers in opening his remarks with a few words of their mother tongue.
 At Prairie View, the Governor was intro- duced from the rear platform of the train. He said:
 T am told that there Is here a settle ment from the land from which my ances- tors came. Is 1t true?" (Cries of yes, yes)
 If you wihl let Dutchman give a word of advice, I will give it. Out in the land from which my ancestors came they kept the flood out by dykes. As you know, Hol- land has been won from the sea- They put the dykes up to keep the waters out. Put ting the dykes up does not make the land prosperous unless the land is cultivated. During the last four years in this country we have bscn putting up big dyke to keep Bryanism out. l hope no one Is going to be foolish enough to break down the dykes"

 Tien Tsin, September 25, via Taku, Sep tember 26 and Shanghai September 2S.-Li Hung Chang told General Chaffee today that his chief desire was to effect A cessa- tion of hostilities, and he promised the Chi nese would not again take the initiative in fighting. He expressed confidence in the fairness of the United States, and said he hoped the American government would act as mediator, using its influence to hasten the assembling of the proper body to settle the whole question.
 He is in constant cable communication with Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister in Washington, and it Is believed that he has received assurances that majority of the powers will recognize his credentials At the suggestion of General Chaffee, he is hastening his preparations to leave for Pe- kin.

MINERS WILL GET
 AN ADVANCE IN PAY
Conference of Coal Operators Held at WilkeSbarre to Discuss Situa-
 On--MitChell Issues Statement.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, September 2S.-An im- portant meeting of the coal opeators of the Wyoming and Lackawan-la Valleys was held at the office of the Lehigh Val ley Coal Company in this city today.
 After the conference was over several operators were asked for information, but they were very reticent. Superintendent Lathrop said:
 We discussed a scheme of advancing the wages of all the men throughout the re- zion at least 10 per cent. The powder ques- tion was also discussed, but we are not prepared to give out any information re- garding our deliberations on the subject" From another reliable source 1t was learned that the presidents of the coal companies in New York sent a draft of the proposed settlement of the strike to their representatives with instructions to meet in conference and discuss whether it would be advisable to make terms with the strikers on the basis stated. Some of the superintendents thought the increase could not be greanted without loss. It was argued by those opposed to granting the increase that the cost of mining has in- creased considerably the past five years, and with the miners getting deeper every year 1t is bound to increase still further In the years to come. The only way to meet operating expenses in case of an in- crease Is granted is to advance the price of the coal.
  in New York, who was called up by long distance telephone for his views on this point, is said to have stated that he did not think the price of coal could be in- creased. Bituminous coal is too sharp a competitor now and an increase in anthra- cite would be to the advantage of the bit luminous coal.
 stenographic report of the meeting was dispatched to New York in charge of a special messenger.
 Some of the leaders think the companies may be preparing a trap for the men, One company may offer big increase in wa ges to its men, get them back to work and then cause a stampede among the strikers In general

New York, September S.-Senator Hanna in the course of an address at a meeting of the wholesale dry goods Republican Club to- day, said in part:
 My friends, don't think it necessary to waste any time on the subject of imperial. ism. It is an issue that was brought into this campaign by the Democratic party to hide the real issue. It has been replied to and wiped out by the magnificent letter of William Mckinley in his. acceptance of q re-nomination,
 T known and you know that there are Democrats who are not believers in the principles of Bryan. I know that there are hundreds and thousands of thsm who do not agree with his principles, and will show it on the 9th of November next.

BACK FROM SIBERIA
Charges Made Against Russians By a
 Ships Crew

San Francisco, September 2S-The steam CT Samoa arrived today from Siberia via Cape Nome. She left this port last June having on board a number of English and American mining engineers and Russian miners, employees of the East Siberian Syn dicate, which had an imperial concession to mine for gold along the coast of Siberia. When Siberia was reached trouble arose between the Russians on the one hand and the Americans and English on the other While the Russians were asleep one night Captain Johnson headed the Samoa for Cape Nome. Before the Russians knew where they were going the vessel was un- der the American flag at Cape Nome
 The Russians demanded that they be re- turned to Siberia. Colonel Evans, a United States Treasury official, was detailed to go on the Samoa to see that the Russians committed no overt act. The American mining engineers remained at Nome.
 It is charged that when the Samoa again touched a Siberian port the Russians despite the presence of Evans, footed the Samoa of it's cargo, consisting of mining machinery, provisions and S2O,OOo in gold

Berlin, September 2S.-Herr von Brandt, former German minister to China, has an article in the Deutsch Revue, in which he asserts that the missionaries caused the anti-foreign uprising by persisting in mingling in politiacl affairs and seeking to gain political influence. He cites in sup port of his contention the recent declara- tion at Louisville, Ky, of a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church that the Meth odsts were responsible for the presets- troubles in China and ought to thank God for it. ..-s
 The principal papers comment up|n a dispatch from Washington which asserts that Secretary Hay will return to the ac- tive discharge of his official duties next week, having made it conditional ths. President Mckinley should give him an absolutely free hand in foreign affairs The dispatch also says that lack of en- ergy could no longer be expected"
 The Lokal Anzeiger offers the following interpretation:
 Ut means that Americas departure from the concert of the powers is now felt at Washing ton to have been fiasco; and we may expect the United States to endeavor to correct the mistake"
 The Vossische Zeitung, referring to Americas reported protest against Prince Tuan's appointment, remarks: Apparently the United States government is non plussed by the effect upon the Chinese of its rejection of the German notes and is now seeking to counteract the same by a change of front"
 The National Zeitung combats the state- ment cabled from Washington that Amer icas rejection of the note could not have caused Prince Tuan's appointment, since both events fell on .he same day. II says:
 Doubtless Wu Ting Fang. knew In ad- vance what the answer would be and cabfed 1t to China. The United States government is clearly to be blamed for the unfavorable turn of affairA"

THE RUSSIAN BEAR
 BEGINS TO GROWL
Report Comes From St. Petersburg That a Blockade of Chinese Ma
 val Ports is Ordered.

Washington, September 2S.-The report from St, Petersburg said to have been made on the authority of the Russian naval staff, that owing to the hostile attitude of the Chinese fleet at Shanghai, Russia proposes to blockade the Chinese naval ports," created much interest at the Navy Depart ment and in government circles generally today.
 AS there is no statement to the effect that 1t Is to be preceded by declaration of war, 1t is assumed the blockade proposed comes under the designation of the international law of pacific blockade" A pacific block ade is considered something of an anomaly, and though its justification is not recog- nized by some writers on international law, it has been reSorted to on several occasions during the past century, and the majority of writers now recognize it as a measure of constraint short of war. It has been in- stituted some time ago by the action of sev- eral powers some times of a single power, in some cases against all vessels and in other cases against only the vessels of the nation concerned. The penalties generally have been the seizure and contlsca ton of the property and cargo of the offending na- tion, or seizure and detention
 The legal position of a pacific blockade, however, Is so unsettled as to the attitude of the blockaders towards the vessels Of states not concerned that their course has varied in almost every instance. The first pacific blockade ever instituted was In 1872, when the coasts of Greece, then nomi- nally subject to Turkey, were blockaded by the squadrons of England, France and Russia. New Granada was blockaded by England in 1868, Mexico by France in 1S3S, LaPlatta by France in 1S3s-40, the Greek ports by England in 1850, the coasts Of Formosa by France in 1884, Greece by Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy and

GERMANY'S POSITION
May Yet Modify Her Demands-London
 Press Comments

London, September %, 4 a. m.-Apparent- ly Germany's retreat from an untenable position has been virtually accomplished.
 The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says:
 gramme has been arranged between France, Germany and Russia. It will be submitted to the other powers within a few days. The action recommended win be milder than Germany's original proposal and it is expected that all the powers will accept the programme"
 The Cologne Gazette, in another scmi- official statement, apparently intended for consumption in the United States and England, points out the serious position resulting from Prince Tuans ascendency, saying
 ''The continued massacre of missionaries and converts indicates that the anti-for- eign movement is directed from an influen- tial center''
 It thinks that the situation thus created must appear intolerable even to those powers favoring a policy of indulgence and forbearance."
 The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Stan dard says:
 q learn that Ii Hung Chang has de- clared that Vice Admiral Alexien has gone to Port Arthur to avoid meeting Count von Waldersee, who was to hold a conference with him and with Vice Admiral Seymour and Sir Alfred GaZelee."
 The following dispatch, dated September 27, has been received from Shanghai: Tt Is reported that General Mei Kung has expelled the Boxers from Shan Tung and is now following them into the province of Chi u.
 Some excitement has been caused by a rumor that Chinese steamers flying the British flag, are conveying munitions of war from the Shanghai arsenal northward. Tt is reported that Russia has offered to advance money to China to pay the Brit ish loan."

Russia in 1Ss6 and Crete in 1897 by the six powers of Europe. When Formosa was blockaded by France in 1884 the blockade was intended to include neutral vessels as liable to capture and condemnation, not withstanding the fact that France had not assumed the attitude of belligerent.
 This proposition was assumed because France decided to continue to coal at Hong Kong. England refused on this oc- casion to admit that under the circum- stances France had the right to capture and condemn neutral vessels. In 1897 the European powers blocked Crete, the ships of neutrals were allowed to enter and discharge cargoes provided they were not intended for the use of Greek troops in the interior. Previous to that, in 1S7 the Institute de Droit Internationa, adopted a declaration to the effect that the Pacific blockade was only permissible on condition that vessels under foreign flags could freely enter blockaded ports and that vessels of the offending nation which might be sequestered when the blockade ceased should be restored to their former owners without compensa- tion, The United States itself resorted to the expedient of the Pacific blockade three days prior to the declaration of war with Spain when by executive order certain of the Cuban ports were blockaded
 If the report from St. Petersburg should prove ID De correct, the SuPpoeSilioH is lhae' as 1t is based on the alleged activity of the Chinese fleet, the blockade would be di- rected against Chinese ports where there are naval stores, dry docks or coaling sta tions. There are but six of these ports on the Chinese coast not within the spheres of the foreign powers, namely, Nleu Chwang, where there is mud dock Taku and Tien Tsin. where there are Chinese government docks and yards; Shanghai, Foo Chow, Annoy and Whanpoa, where there is a gran ite dock owned by the Chinese government.
