ton will also be present to take part in
the discussion. Since it is to be meet
ing of citizens called by citizens, no
special invitations will be sent out. All

trouble is where to put the audience
should the attendance be very large.
Chairman L. Deutschberger of the Elk
ecutive Committee of the First Independ-
ent German-American Democratic Club
has sent the following notice to the 40t
members of the club residing in the Hud-

In consideration of the water meet
ing, called by Collector Robert Davis,
to be held in the Assembly Chamber,
City Hall, Thursday evening, Febru-
ary s, President Phi. Kreitzig has post
poned the meeting of this club, which
was to have taken place the same
evening in the headquarters of the
club, Gleichmann's Hall, corner of
Griffith street and Sherman avenue.
The members of the club are hereby
requested to take part in said mass
meeting to hear the reasons of the
city officials for the purchase of the
water plant, if satisfactory, on COM
pletion.
The Executive Committee of this
club has issued declaration to the
German-American citizens, explaining
the reasons why the citizens should
vote in favor of the purchase of the
water plant. and the Democratic City
Committee has also declared itself for
the purchase. But, nevertheless, 1t
will be interesting for the members
of this club to listen to the reasons
why the Street and Water Board hav-
ing previously recommended the pur-
chase of seventy million gallon plant
is now in favor of the purchase OF the
fifty million plant, since Mayor Hoos
has declined to approve the larger
plant, which would have been prefer
able and cheaper in the end in the
estimation of the Commissioners.

TIE COAL STRIKERS.
A CLOUD APPEARS on THE PEACE.
FUL HORIZON
In the Shape OF Bitter Feeling Bee
tween the Union AMI NOn-Tnion
Men i'm Lykens Disfricf---IIS,O 900 of
the I4I,OOO Mine Workers in the
Anthracite Coal Fields Idic...Thc
First Advance i'm the Price Of Coal.

Philadelphia, Pa, September 18.-The
leader of the strike says at the end of
the second day that lis, 900 Of the al 900
mine workers in the anthracite coal
fields are idle. No representative Of the
mine operators make a statement for
their side of the matter, but Individual
mine-OWners dispute the strikers fig
ures, saying there are more men at
work than the union leaders will ad-
nit.
The first advance in the price Of coal
as result of the strike was made by
the Philadelphia and Reading Company
to-day, % cents per ton being added.
This advance was promptly met by the
local dealers, who increased the price
to consumers so cents a ton.
A cloud appears on the otherwise
peaceful horizon in the shape Of a re-
port from Harrisburg that a bitter
feeling is developing between the union
and nOn-uniOn men in the Lykens dis
trict, located in the upper end Of Dau-
phin county. and involving about 25O0
.liTe We -kers.
a concession was voluntarily granted
the 5000 employees Of the Lehtgh Coal
and Navigation Company in the region
west Of Nlauch Chunk, who will here
after work ten hours a day, y It'll an
increase in earnings. These men were
unOrSanizcd and had not presented any
grievances.
True to its declaration made before
the strike was ordered, the Philadelphia
and Reading Company to-day brought
its mules to the surface in two mines
near ShamOkin, that had been closed
by the strike, and announced that they
were permanently abandoned. This &C
tiCn makes it necessary for the miners
who formerly worked in these COiIierieS
to seek work clEeW here.
The action Of the Ace or more en-
plOyces Of the West End Coal Company
al MOcanaqua, near WilkesbaTTe, in
sticking to their work stands out prom
lnentiy as the busy feature Of an other
wise idle territory. They say they nave
no grievance, have always received
kindly treatment from their en- ployers
and therefore resist every effort to in
GuCe them to strike.
Father Phillips, the Catholic priest
who Las been an Interesting figure in
the strike, both before and after. made

might have been expected, coincident
with the arrival Of Count Won WaIder-
see in China comes the most important
declaration of policy yet issued by any
of the allies.
AS the Daily News remarks. Ger
manys circular note has turned the
tables on Russia whose evacuation
proposal had put Germany into an
awkward corner. Now. if Russia as
acnts to the German note, she will be
unable to continue, says the Daily
News, to pose as China's' lenient and
forgiving friend, while, if she dissents.
Russia viii lay herself open to the
charge of reducing the punitive eXpe-
dition to n farce.
The London morning papers have
little but praise for what is called Ger
many's admirable note. The Times goes
SO far as to wish that the credit for
making such proposal belonged to
Great Britain. The Morning Post alone,
in a COgent and WelI-reasOned editorial,
points out a grave objection, namely,
that If the real authors and instiGatOrs
Of the uprising should prove to be
Identical with the personnel Of the
Chinese Government, it can hardly be
expected that they viii deliver them
selves UP and that. if the Chinese Gov
eminent should be designated a. guilty,
1t would be under the ban of the pow
ers, condition of things only terminal
bic by the conquest of China or
revolution producing new govern
ment.
