CHINESE TROOPS ACTIVE.
Mysterious Drills of Imperial Sol
diars Along the West River.

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The movements OF
Chinese troops in the vicinity Of Hongkong
are causing uneasiness among the foreign
ers of that locality. A despatch from that
city says that the native soldiers are drill
ing daily along the West River and that
Chinese gunboats are again patrolling the
stream.
The object of these movements is at
present unknown to the allies, although
II is feared that another outbreak Of
fanaticism is imminent.
The British steamship Sandpiper is
watching the movements of the Chinese
and is prepared to act Immediately when
there are evidences that the Celestials in
tend to make an attack.
The British gunboat Robin has left
Hongkong for Canton.
According to a despatch from Shanghai,
another Imperial edict has been issued
which sanctions the agreement of the Chi
nese giceroys with the foreign eonsuls re-
garding the maintenance of order in the
central and southern provinces.
| The edict also agrees that so long as
the native Christians refrain from holding
meetings, contemplated to create disturb
ances, they shall be treated impartiaIIy
| By The Imperial authorities.

Futile Effort TO Operate the An

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 1S-Except
at the West End coal mine at Moeana-
qua, not a pound of coal is being mined
this morning in the Wyoming or the
Lackawanna districts. The Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre coIlieries are practically
shut down, although the company has
some men moving about outside the work
ings.
At Pittston the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany is making no better progress The
dozen or two men who turned up and
wanted to work were employed, but they
did nothing except clear up outside and
run few cars up and down.
The West End miners. however, pursued
the even tenor of their way, regardless OF
the fact that all around them the districI
is on strike. They say they are content
ed to work as long as they can get work.
The only fear they have now is that the
Pennsylvania Railroad will refuse to haul
the coal they mine.
The few Isolated cases of violence were
not repeated today. The men who went
to work were allowed TO go without mo-
lestation. although some of the women
jeered at them as they passed and ex-
pressed their opinions in vigorous Ian
guage.
The companies are swearing in a number
of men to act as special policemen at theil
mines and viii keep them on guard nigh
and day to prevent any interference witt
The work of pumping. The first move o
this kind was taken this morning by tht
Parrish Coal Company. where recently F.,
strike took place and conflict between
union and non-union men followed.
The strike leaders are arranging for mas
meetings here this week, at which Presi.
dent Mitchell and District President Mich
OILS viii make addresses. The leaders o
the locals are also making efforts to keel
the men employed in one way or another
and are arranging games of baseball be
tween the union workmen at the variou
breakers.
The strikers here did not fully under
stand the situation in the lower part @
the region until this morning when the
read the papers. They are not bit dis
couraged and say the men in the Lehig
and SchuyIkiI districts will all be o

ing Company are in full operation to-
day.
An attempt was made this morning to

SCRANTON, Pa. Sept. 1S,-Today finds
the strike situation among <ke forty
three thousand mine workers of the
Lackawanna region practically unchanged
from yesterday when the complete ue-up
of the region was recorded. The mining
superintendents are as nearly dumfounded
over the matter as can be. They never
dreamed of SO tremendous an uprising and
ridculed every statement concerning the
number of men organized by the United
Mine Workers, declaring in the most en-
phatic terms that not more than 10 per
cent of the men were dissatisfied and
would venture upon strike.
More than that number of men and boys,
representing the employees of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western and the
Delaware and Hudson Company in the
north Scranton section alone were present
at a mass meeting yesterday afternoon,
which Fred Dilcher, member of the Ma
tionaI Executive Board, and Timothy D.
Hayes, for many years a miner, addressed
The superintendents were. for the most
part in communication with the New
York offices of their companies this morn
ing. and before noon they viii hold their
daily session to consider new means of
overcoming the detection Of the mine
workers They had hoped yesterday by
the tactics of putting in operation one or
TWO Of their mines. according TO the force
OF workmen in their employ who would
report % make break in the strikers
organization which might prove fatal
They faileu s,.-I now a new course must
lie planned. but what it viii be one
knows, for within the past twenty-fouT
hours the superintendents have become
very secretive and none of them want to
say anything.
This morning there was TuTnor here
that from New York would, within few
days, perhaps before the week passes
come overtures for & settlement by arbi-
tration.
The Delaware and Hudson announced to-
day that as soon as there is demand for
any of its product they Will provide it and
will find the workmen to do it with and
furnish protection necessary 10 keep the
men employed. This is the first threat OF
the strike.
Already a number of striking miners art
leaving the Lackawanna Valley for the
soft coal regions. a party OF sixty went
out on an early morning train to Anthony
British Columbia, where they Will work
in a mine OF which James Wilson, formerly
of Dunmorc, near here, is superintendent
Many others have taken out their transfer
cards here ready for an emergency.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, may also
come to Hazleton. 1t is understood that
he is to act in the capacity OF an ad-
visor to President Mitchell and also to
address meetings of strikers.
All of the cross creek coal compa-
MES coIIieries were at work today. The
collieries Of the Lehigh Valley and of
the Lehtgh and WiIkesbarre Coal Com
pany on the south side are still tied
up. and as yet there are no indications
of their Tesuming work.

in existence since January /, 1870.
Daniel B. Hatch, the board member of
the firm, said today;
My partner, Mr. Foote, is lying in a
crazy and dying condition at his home at
Oceanic, n. J. We discovered since Mr..
Foote has been taken sick that he had been
speculating on both sides of the market
without the knowledge of the firm and had
lost upward of 100000
This made 1t necessary for us to find
out where We stood, and for the interest
OF our creditors we made an assignment to
E. ElIery Anderson.
We attribute Mr.. Foote's insane condi-
ton to the tremendous financial load he
has been carrying for the last five years.
Our outstanding contracts on the Stock
Exchange are slight and no one will suffer
any loss
Mr. Foo1e is sixty three years old.
