Washington, Sept. x.ssss-t';; firsss has SC
cepted the suggestions or the United
States contained in the answer to the
German proposition and has begun
voluntarily the punishment of the re-
dictionary Chinese leaders who were re-
sponsible for the Pekin outrages.
The department of state is informed
by Consul General Goodnow at Shang-
hal that Sheng, Chinese director OF
railways and telegraphs. has handed
him a decree of the emperor and en-
press, dated at Taignan, Sept %. blam-
ing their ministers for encouraging the
Boxers.
The edict orders the degradation of
four princes and deprives Prince Tuan
of his salary and official servants.
He is TO be brought for trial before
the imperial court.
The decree reciJed by Sheng is con-
ceded by the officials to mean that the
reactiOnary influences which have been
dominant in Pekin through the uprising
and have been continued of late days
have suffered a complete overthrow,
and that their most conspicuous figures
are degraded and on trial.
The imperial clan court is the SUI
preme tribunal of China, and is the only
one having jurisdiction over the mem
bers of the imperial family. 1t is pre-
sided over by Prince Ii, with the well
known Prince Ching as first vice pres
ident. Prince Ii is the first of the
eight princely families of China, and is
regarded as friendly 70 the progressive
element. The attitude of Prince Ching
has been notable throughout the
trouble as friendly to foreign interests.
There are five other members of the
court, all of them high persOnages.
Chinese officials here say that the

STILL TRYING
TO END STRIKE

Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 29.-Late de-
velopments show that the efforts to
bring about a hurried settlement of the
big coal miners strike are still in a
chaotic condition. While there is every
surface evidence of honest intention on
the part of mine owners and operators
to grant the more important demands
of the mine workers, the difficulties in
detail in reaching the basis of a set
tlement grow more confusing. In a
conference tonight at Wilkesbarre, an
important residential point of mining
railroad superintendent and big indi-
vidual mine operators, mine foremen
were called in to take part in the dis
cussion. The foremen were questioned
relative to the charges for powder,
dOckage, etc. indicating that the own
ers were endeavoring to reach a COM
mon ground where justice would be
found for each side. So far as can be
learned no definite conclusion was
reached
The general opinion among those in
position to comprehend the differ
ences is that the settlement of the
strike is yet remote. All interests in
volved. however. seem TO be willing 10
reach an early settlement, and conces-
sions it is understood, will be readily
accorded by both sides in the contro-
versy.
The strike leaders are cautious in
their movements, but so far as can be
learned have not taken the ground
that trickery was being played a eau
! tionary notice of which point they had
previously sent to all the strikers.
1t has now apparently settled itself
down to common sense discussion Of
the differences.
The strikers made big gains today in
drawing out men who have heretofore
continued at work.
The Markle employees tonight sent
word to the firm that arbitration was
not to be further considered So MANY
of the employees of that firm in its five
mines near Hazelton have Joined the
strikers that they concluded there was
no further advantage to be obtained
by their old agreement that the men
would continue at work pending arbi-
tration of their grievances. which had
been presented to the firm wholly apart
from the general grievance of the
United Mine Workers.
The entire region was tranquil today
and General Goblin, in command of the
three regiments of state troops in
Schuylkill county. concluded that the
soldiers were only idling away their
time, and he informed the sheriff that
he would send one of the regiments
home on Monday.
The strike leaders continued their
campaigning by mass meeting today.
and many who have been working
! Joined their ranks. There were TODAY
more idle mine workers than at anv
/ time since the strike began.
