CABINET MEETING
Devoted Exclusively to Consideration
 of Chinese Situation

Washington, October S.-The cabinet meeting today, which occupied about two and half hours, was devoted almost ex clusively to a discussion of the Chinese situation. Special consideration was given to the French note, and it is understood more definite conclusion was reached to the nature of the reply which will be made by this government, but 1t has not yet been put in diplomatic form. Its purport will not be made public for the present.
 It developed today that MT. Conger, in compliance with suggestion from Secre- tary Hay had submitted to the State De- partment a list of ten or twelve names of Chinese officials who were prominent in the Boxer movement against the foreigners and in a great measure were responsible for the assaults upon the legations in Pekin. These officials, MT. Conger believes, should be included with Prince Yuan and others in any punishment which is to be inflicted upon those who took a prominent part in the Pekin outrages.
 It is not unlikely that the position of this government in regard to the punish ment of the officials will be stated in re- ply to the French note.
 Neither Automatically nor from rnli- tary point of view has there been any change in the Chinese situation here since the reception of the French note.

 PRESIDENT w. V. POWELL

1t from attempting to transact any other business than that specifically stated in the call issued by myself and he board of diA rectors for the special session of the grand division. Argument and entreaty of a few hotheaded members and their portrayal of the disaster that would befall the organi- zation in the event of such restraining order being granted, inflamed the minds and prejudices of many delegates and ex- cited their fears to the highest pitch.
 At this juncture revolutionary and ile- gal act, that of suspending me from office without notice, hearing, trial compliance with the orders of law, was taken over the protests of members of the grand division, who were carried away by the excitement of the moment. There is no authority for tine action taken and the proceedings were wholly without law or precedent and the act was due to the infiamed passions of the delegates No action had been com- Iienced by me in the civil courts and no one could have been more surprised than myself when I learned of the action of the grand division"

GERMAN ADVICES
Great Britain is the Only Power Not
 Heard From

Berlin, October 9.-It was ascertained at the German foreign office today by the correspondent of the Associated Press that all the powers have agreed to the propos als of the second German note with the exception of Great Britain, from whom no answer has yet been received from either the first or second note of Germany. The foreign office, however, excepts Great Britains adherence to the second note, and still looks for reply to the first.
 With reference to the statement cabled from America that Great Britain has acted as a mediator in effecting an understand ing between Germany and the United States, a high foreign office official said that nothing officially was known regard ing such a service, if it had been rem dered and that, as a matter of fact there was no necessity whatever of a mediator,
 No news from Field Marshall Count von Waldersee has been received at the for eign office since the announcement that he had taken charge. Ii is taken for granted that the details of organization are ob- sorbing his attention.
 Private advices say that the Germans oc- cupy the palace of the Empress in Pekin and that German endorsements, consist ing of two battalions, two guns and cav airy under Lieutenant Colonel Havil, have arrived at Pekin from Tien Tsin.

Mitchell Says the Question is One Which the Miners
 Must Decide Without Interference.
ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECEIVED AT SHAMOKIN
The Operators Say That No Further Concessions Will be Granted, and That the strikers Can Either Accept the 10 Per Cent Increase or Let It Alone.
 Exact Meaning of the Offer.

Shamokin, Pa, October 9-The miners parade today had 5000 men in line.
 President Mitchell was enthusiastically received when he arose to address the meeting, held after the parade. In referring to the prospective ending of the strike he said:
 Every other strike that has taken place In the anthrarte region has been declared off by your officers I want to say, as I have said before that this strike will never end until the miners through delegates in convention, end it for themselves If you believe opera tors act in good faith; If you believe 10 per cent to be enough; if you believe that they will pay the 10 per cent for year, then you must decide whether to return to work. On the other hand, if you reject the offer and continue on strike, John Mitchell will be there to help you do 1t. do not expect that this one strike will eradicate all the wrongs from which you suffer. I do not believe the action of forty years of injustice can be wiped out at once, but I do believe that you have established an organization here that with each suc- ceeding year will give you improved condi- tions of employment"

SENATOR MORGAN CONFIDENT IF
 SUCCESS OF DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Says the Party Presents a United Front and Has a Normal
 Majority of Voters.

Selma, October 9. = Especially - Senator John T. Morgan, who is resting here be- fore returning to Washington, is confident of the success of the national Democratic ticket in the November election.
 In the course of an interview with the Age-Herald's correspondent he discussed many phases of the political situation. Among other things he said:
 Naturally I have paid a great deal of attention to the drift of things political they affect the Democratic party in re- gard to the national election which occurs on November 6. I believe that MT. Bryan will certainly receive a majority of votes as certified in the electoral colleges. have always thought that there were more Democrats than Republicans in this coun- try, and with the party united such as it has never been before, l look for the Democracy to poll more votes this year than it has ever done before-more than when Cleveland was elected-more than MT. Bryan did four years ago. I do not look for a landslide, nor can I take pencil and paper and figure that this State will I just know that there are about 5OO,O 900 mere Democrats normally in the country than Republicans, and the only question is, will the opposition, through the use of an enormous corruption fund, be able to make inroads where it will by narrow margin change the result in certain states that will accomplish the defeat of Bryan and Stew enson.
 'I feel confident of the success of our ticket this year for many reasons. The party never was more united. The senti- ment of the masses, the toilers of all sorts, are with Bryan, and the opposition to lab solutism"-there is no fear or imperialism wlll give to the Democratic ticket a com bined strength that will certainly secure at least a majority of twenty in the cleo tcral college.
 erhaps I ought to explain what mean by absolutism. It is the contention that

AGR REEMENT REACHED
Kentucky Legislature Will Re-enaot
 Old Election Law

Frankfort, Ky, October 9.-Both houses of the Kentucky Legislature held a night session tonight and passed by a practically unanimous vote an agreement to adopt the minority election bill over which the Senate and House has disagreed. The differences between the houses were settld by a con- frence committee. The Senate bill as agreed upon will be taken up in the House tomorrow. This substitutes the old law in force at the time ke Goebel law was en- acted The Democrats in the Senate made a had fight tonight to pass a resolution to adjourn sine die Saturday, holding that if no law is passed by that time none will be passed at all. But the Republicans and anti-Goebel Democrats have united and made it a special order for Friday.

DRAMATIC SCENE IN
 THE YOUTSEY TRIAL

and grabbed him. He struggled wildly and said: Let me alone-I will not sit down."
 Arthur Goebel meanwhile sat sphnx-like in the chair and never turned his head Finally after Youtsey was forced into a seat he shouted again: "Goebel is not dead; all the demons in hell could not kill him."
 MT. Sheriff. if the defendant does not behave himself put handcuffs on him." said Judge Cantrill
 Meanwhile the audience could not be forced to keep their seats until the judge threatened to fine those who stood up. Youtsey settled back in his chair, closed his eyes and seemed in a state of collapse. He waved his handkerchief above his head in an aimless sort of way and groaned and cried hysterically. Finally quiet was re- stored and Judge Williams asked Arthur Goebel another question, when Colonel Crawford asked a postponement of the trial until tomorrow on account of the de- fendant's condition. Judge Cantrill said he could see no cause or reason for the de- fendant's outbreak, but in justice to his attorneys he would postpone the case until tomorrow. MT. Franklin said the com monwealth had not the slightest objection to adjourning until tomorrow, and court so adjourned.
 Youtsey still occupied his chair, with his eyes closed, apparently in a half-fainting condition. After the crowd passed out Jailer Reed and deputies carried routsey to the jail, as he was unable to walk Various reasons are assigned for his un- seemly outbreak, the first being that his long coafinement and strain of the trial caused him to become hysterical and lose control of himself. Another Is that he Is remarkably demented, as shown by his re- mark that Goebel was not dead. He is be- ing attended by physicians and relatives at the jail, and his condition is critical.

Georgetown, Ky, October 9.-One of the most remarkable scenes ever enacted in a Kentucky court occurred tonight in the Youtsey trial, the defendant himself being the chief participant. The court room was crowded at the time, and the excitement was intense. Dee Armstrong, the Louisville detective, had just told of his talks with Ycutsey before and after his arrest. Then Arthur Goebel was put on the stand, and Judge Ben. Williams, who for the first time appeared for the prosecution, did the ques- ticnng.
 Arthur Goebel said: T talked with Yout- sey the day he was arrested, late in the afternoon in the jail in Frankfort, in ref erence to the murder of my brother"
 Just at this point Youtsey arose behind his attorneys, and in a loud voice said: Ut is untrue-it is a lie-I never spoke word to that man in my life, nor he to me-"
 Colonel Crawford told him to be quiet and sit down, and others took hold of him.
 '.I will not sit down. I never said word to that 'man-it Is untrue"
 He was shouting by this time and every one was on tiptoes of excitement. Yout- sey's wife sprang to his side, and while endeayoring to maKe him sit down could be heard saying: "Now. you have killed my husband, I suppose you are satisfied. Then Youtsey hysterically shouted again: "I am innocent-there is no blood on my hands-these men are swearing my life away"
 Two or three deputy sheriffs went over

Havana, October 9.-General Woods says Cuba now offers great opportunities to Americans who will come here and settle. Land Is cheap, or can be rented on a small royalty Returns will be quick. He rec ommends the cultivation by immigrants of tobacco and fruit and the raising of cattle.

 Trial by jury was inaugurated in Cuba today, and wrts of habeas corpus have been established.

Congress Is all-powerful and can make any laws it's majority sees fit The Republicans know very we'll that imperialism would not be tolerated for moment, but they are firm upholders of the idea that the majority Of Congress can make laws that are to be effective and absolute.
 The one great difference, wide as gull can make it, between the Republican and Democratic party is the difference of opinion as to taxation. The Republicans advocate the taxation of the many for the few. They believe in a perpetual debt. Why? Because, with the public debt ex- tiEguished, the basis on which national banks do business, would be destroyed and they would be forced to a coin basis, which would mean the coinage of silver. The Re pUblicans put tariff on imports for the benefit of the few manufacturers; the Democrats believe that the people should be taxed only to pay the actual expenses of the government. MT Mckinley was forced to agree to the 15 per cent. tax on the Porto Ricans. Why could not that country have been provided for as was Ha- waii? It is the purpose of the Republican party to govern Porto Rico and the Philip pines through Congress that valuable con sessions may be granted by that body to those who contribute to the RepuDncan partys campaign fund.
 Did you know that in Porto Rico the pesos containing 95 cents worth of silver bullion is by a law passed by the Republi- cans being taken up for which 60 cents in American silver is paid. Thus 35 cents is taken from the poor Porto Rlcan every time his silver money is gotten hold of"
 The Senator was asked if in his opinion the matter of the apportionment under the present census would taken up by Congress at the short session. He replied:
 If we carry the House of Representa- tives In the Fifty-seventh Congress l doubt not but that during the short session of the Fifty-sxth Congress an effort will be made to fix the apportionment, but in this they will surely fail for under the rules of the Senate a few of us will be able to tie up ali matters and prevent action as was done with the force bill in 1884. I have no fear that the apportonment bill will ever be en- acted into law during the short session of Congress-"

SPECIAL ENVOY
May be Sent Urging Emperor to Re-
 turn to Pekin

Washington, October 9.-In high diplo- matic quarter, the suggestion was made to- day that the powers send special envoy to Sinan Flu, the new abode of the im- perial family, with collective note, urging the return of the Emperor to Pekin and giving guarantee for the personal safety of the imperial household. Such an envoy 1t was said, could accomplish much more than the circuitous negotiations through Chinese officials The suggestion was also made that Chan Chi Tung, the Viceroy of one of the Southern provinces, would be we'll qualified to execute such a mission if the powers could be brought together in a collective request.

Must Accept or Reiect

Scranton, Pa., October 9.-Interviews with prominent operators here today elicited a uniform opinion that no further concessions or notifications of the present offer will be made; that the miners may take 1t or leave 1t as 1t stands. The 10 per cent increase means that every man in the anthracite mines Is to have $1.10 for the work for which he formerly received $1.00, the op- orators say. The powder item Is simply a matter of bookkeeping Instead of giving the miner 10 per cent. increase fiat he will have his credit side increased, say per cent, and from his debit side will be sub tracted per cent, or whatever percent age of expense is found to bye the difference the cost of his powder amounts to- The purpose Is simply to put an end to the bowling about powder being sold at exor- bitant prices. Powder Is the basis of the wage scale, it is explained, and to decrease its cost Is to increase the wages In this region a decrease of $1.25 a keg of powder means per cent. decrease in the miners expenses. Therefore, when he has his ex- penses reduced per cent, he has his wages increased a like amount. The other per cent will be made up by increasing the allowance per car for cutting and load ing. Where a miner gets one dollar a car he will now under the new scale get $1.03 l-3 a car His net earnings will be the same whether he gets the increase flat or by fig uring on the decrease on the powder.
 The fact that coal is high and the de- mands of individual operators for better coal will keep 1t high is suggested as req son why those working under the sliding scale should not worry about being juggled out of their increase. The fact that the operators do not want the strikes and that they recognize that the mine workers or ganiza .on is here to stay 1t is pointed out have a tendency to dissuade any double dealing on the part of the operators, even if they were inclined to a thing of this kind.
 All arrangements for tomorrow's big pa rade and mass meeting are now complete. Fully 10000 will be in the parade, and it Is estimated that 5OO00 persons will assemble to hear President Mitchell and others speak.

St. Louis, October 9.-By a vote of 103 to 6 today the Grand Division of the Order of Railway Photographers suspended President w. V. Powell.
 When seen by reporter MT. Powell said that he had not had time to decide what action he would take. He said that his suspension was an entire surprise, and de- nied that he had even thought of asking the court for a restraining order.
 The committee on credentials reported favoring the admission of members of the Missouri Pacific. division. The Canadian contingent was also recognized.
 In order to make his side of the matter perfectly clear, MT. Powell prepared the following statement:
 "At this mornings session said that in my opinion the grand division was not or ganized in a legal and proper manner. Shortly thereafter a resolution was intro duced having for it's purpose an attempt to abridge the prerogatives of the president granted by the constitution of the order. 1 served notice upon the grand division that I would hold 1t responsible for any violation of law or revolutionary proceed ings on the part of the delegates
