TIE COAL STRIKE
NOT YET SETTLED

philadelphia. Oct. 16.-It is expected
that the officials of the Reading COM
pany will to-day take up for consider
alton the proposition of the Mine Work
ers' convention. 1t is known that some
OF the directors of the company are
opposed to the abolition of the sliding
scale, which has for years been in oper-
alton at the Reading collieries.
One OF the directors of the Reading
said to-day that he is opposed to new
wage scale, and intimated that he
would make an effort to defeat such q
proposition. He asserted that the slid
ing scale had for years proven satisfac-
tory, both TO the company and en-
ployes, as was evidenced by the fact
that until the convention at Scranton
demanded n change no protest had
come from the company miners.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 1G.-Not a COL
liery resumed operation in this portion
of the coal region Yesterday. While
miners generally think the terms of the
convention will be accepted by oper-
ators and coal companies operators
hereabouts insist that so far as they
are concerned they Will not, unless
forced by the coal carrying companies,
sign an agreement to pay ten per
cent. advance. George Hartlein, sec
retary of district No. 0, made this
statement:
''rhe terms. believe. will be ac-
cepted by operators giving their ap-
proval through newspapers and notices
posted about the collieries. Miners will
not go to work until President Mitchell
declares the strike of officially. 1
think the collierics will be working be-
fore next Saturday. The companies
will take up the grievances with their
own employees and redress them while
work is going on" GTf
Hazelton, Pa, Oct 1G-The threat
ened march OF striking mine workers

RUSSIA WILL ACT
INDEPENDENTLY

81. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-THE Russian
Toyernment announces that its a.tituue
in China will be one Of increasing ln-
dependence of the concert OF the pow
ers. Russin, 1t Is explained, is uis-
posed to attach less value TO JOINT ~
ton, since her interests have been 1uny
secured by the successful campaign ~
Manchur1a. Moreover. Russia Is not
willing to follow the irreconcllaple
policy of some of the powers.
The expectation Is that the Chinese
government is about to utilize all lts
resources of dupllcity to keep the pow,
ers occupied with win negotiations anu
proposals and the dispatching OF notes
In order TO gain time until the winter,
counting on the rigor OF the climate 10
prevent military operations and allow
China to prepare her resources Tor
spring campaign.
Washington. Oct. 1G.-'The cable DIS
patch from st. Petersburg indicating
that Russia's attitude in China Will De
Independent of the concert OF the pow
ers caused no surprise among ofnciais
here. 1t was begun by Germany ana
the expedition against Pao Ilng fu
started, that Russia was among the
powers which did Not join in the move
ment.
The dispatch from St. Petersburg is
looked on rs merely another step sin'i-
lar to that taken when Russia WIFI
held support from the Pao Ting Fn ex-
pedition and other aggressive military
moves. Moreover, II is regarded As
quite in consonance with the paclnc
tendencies Of this government which
have been directed all along to secur-
Ing q settlement by diplomatic means,
rather than by the sword.
London, Oct. 17.-Hong Kong dis
patches tell of the continued spread OF
the southern rebellion. A Hons 6 Kong
correspondent sends n report that the
British torpedo boat destroyer Handy
shelled two thousand rebels WHO were
advancing on San Chun, killing forty
and wounding hundreds. This Ii not
confirmed from any other point.
The evidence of Prince Tua ms con.
tInuance In power causes anxiety. Ac
cording to the Shanghai correspondent
of the Post. it has produced q serious
depression in trade here.
Shanghai kilograms report that ths
| local mandarins have received dis
patch from Prince Tuan announcing
that the court is now in safe keeping
and exhor.ing them to have patience

keep the arsenals in constant work,
and Everything in readiness for n

GROWTH OF POPULATION
SHOWN BY THE CENSUS

United states, 19.670,06 dwell IN cities

In 1880 there were seventy-n I've cities

more, making q total of 10.G1O,0Sl. This
shows an increase OF 1887 per cent. in
the urban population during the 0rst
decade, and 1892 per cent. during the
second decade. In other words, the
city population or the United States
has not Increased so rapidly during the
last ten years as It did during the pre-

the statistbcians. Some csties. like Oma-

Port Townsend, Oct. 16.-The ex-
ploration party which went North on
the steamer Corwin has returned and
reports the discovery of an Immense
aeid or coal near Cape Sabine, on the
Arctic coast of Alaska. The eXpcdi
tion was headed by Captains West
ana Collin, two experienced whalers.
ahq they located about seven miles of
eoal lands. These coal deposits skirt
the coast and coal is said to be so
plentiful that 1t can be seen in great
veins in-the face of the cliffs and is
found In great Jumps on tile beach
where the water has cast it. This
coal deposit is only 800 miles from

caiiy settle the question of the fuel

Ine Dulletln concludes Ms follows:
II may be stated that during the
years in which the course OF wages
declined, the rates OF 1901 and 1892 in
many instances remained unchanged,
and In like manner during the last few
years. In which the general course Of
wages has been upward. the wages In
these instances have not of course, re-
sponded to the general rise. In other
instances the per cent. was notably
large during the years of depression,
while during the Inst two years OF the
period the reverse is true and n much
larger increase really took place than
that indicated by the table.
In other words, wages in. some In
stances show but little fiuctuatlon,
while in other Instances they are much
more sensitive. responding quickly to
general conditions OF depression or ac-
tvity. The average condition or gen.
ernl level only is shown in the table
and while. for the rensons stated, the
fluctuations during the period have not
been so great as popular opinion would
indicate, the figures for 1899 and 1900
show gratifying average Increase
over the conditions of 1901 md 1892
when wages In gold were higher than
at any period In the history Of the
country prior to the present year.

Genera, Merr.nm'. Indian Report.

Washington, Oct. 17.-There were no
Indian troubles in the Department Of
the Colorado last year, according to
General Merriam. and the only difficult
ties between white men and Indians
were individual. rising from cards and
| whisky. The white men, says the gen.
eral, were the aggressors.
In the course of his annual report,
General Merriam states the disposition
of his troops, and says:
ut will be observed that nearly all
OF the posts are placed OIL or in the I'M
mediate vicinity of large reservations.
The exceptions, Forts Douglas, ID. A.
Russell and Logan, are at important
railroad centers, rendering their garri-
son quickly available for emergencies
In any direction"
The general speaks with commenda.
tion of the excellent progress being
made toward civilization by the
Apaches. He said:
"In view of the assurances of Can
tain Nicholson, Seventh cavalry, Of the
absolute loyalty and efficiency of his
Indian police. recommend the with
drawal of all the troops from San Car
los agency, instead of repairing that
