Scranton. Pa. Nov. 2S.-On the night
of July /, 1897, two men who were
prowling about the house Of a promi-
nent coal operator, just outside the city
limits in Dunmore borough, were sur
prised by a couple of Dunmore police
and one of the latter officers. Patrick
Keyes, was shot and seriously, though
not fatally, wounded. The proWers
escaped. The next morning dyna-
mite bomb, to which was fasten ed a
leather thong, by which it could be
hung to a door knob or nail on the
side of a house. was picked up at the
scene of the shooting.
A year later a letter was received by
the Scranton police announcing that
two anarchists, Jean Guilhot and
Francois Merlier. were under arrest in
Montreal on suspicion OF having shot
a policeman while attempting TO blow
up the house Of a wealthy coal opera
tor. A Montreal detective heard them
boasting of the deed at drunken
orgie in an anarchist rendezvous in the
French quarter
The two suspects were brought here
and by the exercise of strategy on the
part Of the police they were induced
to confess. They we're sent TO the
eastern penitentiary last June for hve
years.
Both were young men. not over q
years Of age, and had been in Scran-
ton only a few months when they com
mitted the crime They worked as la
borers in the mines. but they were both
well educated and evidently sons ol
good families.

AMERICA TO THE POWERS.
Hay Sends Note, Which Marks Initiation
of Fresh Negotiations as
to China.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The seere
tary of state addressed an identic
note to the powersr interested In the
Chinese situation setting out tersely
and afresh the object of the United
States government as to China and
pointing out how such objects as arc
common to the powers can best be Sc
cured. The note marks the initiation
of fresh negotiations on our part Oh
the arrangement of new bases tc
tide over tAe impossible situation
created at the last meeting of the min
listers in Pekin. Some responses al.
ready are at hand, and 1t is stated
that generally our advances have been
well received, and the state depart
ment expresses satisfaction with the
progress so far achieved. It is be.
lieyed that the note is an appeal from
the extreme course suggested by some
of the powers as to the treatment of
China. especially in the matter OF
punishments and indemnities to
which the ministers at Pekin seem
inclined. The intent is to push the
negotiations on a more rational and
business-like basis.
London, Nov. PA serious di
vergenee has arisen in Pekin,o says
the Tien Tsin correspondent of The
Daily Mail, wiring Wednesday. ia
pan, the United States. Russia and
France favor demanding milder
punishment than the execution of
Prince Tuan and the others. while
Great Britain, Germany. Austria
Hungary aud Italy deem anything
less than the death penalty useless.
IAN important decision has been
arrived at however that this diverg
ence is not to interfere with the gen
eral peace negotiations.
Another remarkable feature of the
situation is the sudden vote face OF
Russia, who now declines either to
withdraw her troops from the PROV
inee of Chi Ii or to hand over the
railway as promised"

being made for a new railroad which

give the Baltimore and Ohio an en-
trance into the pottery region about

Cleveland to Lodi, on the main line.
is also contemplated which will put
this city in direct communication with
Chicago. The present line out of
Pittsburg to Akron and Cleveland
will be used for coal and freight. but

army now in the Philippines will
have to be brought home in the sum
mer; that is, those of the men who
do not care to re-enlist. The trans
ports which go out for them should
depart laden with the troops who
are to replace them, else the ships
will make one voyag empty"

the president and with officials OF

ular army sufficient for the needs OF
the country. 100000 men if neces-
sary, the number to be reduced when
there was nc longer need for them
Mr.. Hull said that the Taft com.

that they would make good soldiers
