Emperor Issues an Edict

Shanghai, September 29.-Emperor Kwang Su has issued an edict thanking Emperor Nicholas for his decision to withdraw the Russian troops from Pekin and also an- pouncing his own willingness to perform a memorial ceremony over the grave of Baron von Ketteler, the murdered German minister to China. It Is announced from a Chinese official source that the Imperial Court has ordered that the palace at Si Ngan Flu, Province of Shensi be immedi- ately prepared for its reception.
 Private advices received here from Nan kin say that the southern Viceroys expect Great Britain and Germany to declare war on China, as there is no likelihood of China surrendering the authors of the anti-for- eign uprising for punishment Should such an attack be made, the Yang Tse Viceroys must make a show against the countrys enemies, though well aware that the sit uation is hopeless, and though anxious not to sacrifice life unnecessarily
 Meanwhile forces and provisions are be- ing sent to Tai Yuan Flu, capital of the Province of Shan Si. The position of the Viceroys Is grave.

An Optimistic View


 New York September 2S-The Herald to- morrow will say:
 "One of tbe men who has participated in the plans for the settlement of the an thracite coal miners strike, and is fa- mliar with all the facts and attendant cir cums stances, said in an interview last (Fri- day) night
 "'The rumor that negotiations looking to the settlement of the strike are off is un- true. My belief is that the strike will come to an end some time early next week. It will not be ended by a blare of trumpet, or by sweeping general orders, but by the men quietly going to work In collieTy after colliery, day after day, at the 10 per cent advance.
 There Is no inclination to recognize Mitchell in any way, but as a matter of fact the miners really deserve the 10 per cent advance and they probably would have obtained it, anyhow, when the question first came up if so many of the members of the different boards of directors of the mining companies had not been away on their vaca tions. "
 Prices for anthracite coal in this city have dropped 50 to 75 cents per ton, indi- eating that the end is in sight, and the rush of the retailers to buy from the whole salers Is almost entirely stopped.

 John Jermyn was the only operator found willing to be quoted in the settle ment of the matter. He said Mark Hanna was engineering the settling and that he (Jermyn) did not approve of allowing poli- tics to interfere, no matter how much the politicians had at stake Tt is useless to kick though" he added Those New York fellows have the power.

was always to go Republican and the
city of Providence Democratic. II this is
so IL Is shame. Every candidate should
stand on his integrity. We can put pre-
MUM on Christian character
There are one or two things about
which i want to speak 10 you tonight
One OF them Is that Christian has as
much right TO his opinion as any other
man. AS soon as a Christian begins to
talk about passing a good law a great cry
goes up that IL is blue law and that
religion should be left out of politics Take
the Sabbath question. / am not a rigid
Saobatarian. but abbath-observance has
been one OF the palladium OF this country
In New England Sabbath h-desecration is
going TO great lengths have never been
to Crescent Park. but Judging from the
advertisements ! say the place is a men
acc. The Christians should see that the
laws are enforced.
| Another thing / want TO speak about
is that our boys and girls are Obliged TO
see vicious places right here among us
places tolerated by the city officials. IL
you understood this menace TO your fam
lilies you would raise your voice so high
that none of these places could continue
1 don't suppose anybody doubts that
there are gambling houses in the city of
Providence. The Harrimans, with whom I
talked the other day. say there are coo
houses of ill-fame in this city | notice he
said so In The News-and by the way /
want to say that The News is entitled to
the support OF good people for trying to
put down this evil. Six hundred houses of
ill-fame Think OF IT, My friends, II ought
to take us to the throne of grace and
make us arise I'm the strength of our citi-
zenship to stop this thing. Somewhere,
somehow. the Christian citizens have
been delinquent that this thing should
have been allowed to continue.
I'VE ought 10 know the condition of our
city. We ought TO know whether the po-
lice are true to their duty, whether the
mayor and aldermen are living up to the
measure
The women can't vote but vet they
have II within their power to stand be-
hind the weak-kneed mon where there
are any. But there are plenty OF strong
men who stand UP and say what thew
think on this question. We ought to send
our sentiments TO the papers and see II
they will print them. IL they won't. then
we must support paper that will.
Demand that the man who is on your
ticket be clean man. / don't saw n
church man. But clean man. who will
be az clean In office as he is in his home.
Then LEI the city officials know that we
are back of them"
