Position OF United States Made
Known to the Powers
WASHINGTON. Sept 1.-THE United
States government has made q full and
complete answer to the various import
ant inquiries that have been addressed
to 1t by the powers relative to the CHI
nese trouble. Moreover, it has o ne
farther, and has made a disclosure of
all Its purposes and, as 4 member of the
administration puts it, it has thrown its
hand open on the table. This action was
taken after the cabinet meeting today,
and luncheon at the White House that
followed served to reduce the decision
to the ultimate form.
AT half past o'clock Minister W1I call
ed by appointment upon Acting Secre-
tary Hill and was handed a memorandum
embodying the response of the United
States government to the reuuest Of
Prince Ching, that Mr.. Conger or some
other person be Immediately empowered
to begin negotiations with the Chinese
authorities for a final settlement TIE
minister came away with a dissatisfied
expression upon his face. Next came
M. Thiebaut the French charge. A few
minutes conversation sufficed to impart
to him orally an answer to his own YER
bal inquiry. Then Baron Sternberg, the
German charge, who had been notified
OF the readiness of the state department
to make answer to the German note, call
ed and was given that answer He has
tened away to cable to his government
The department then sent the answer
to the Russian inquiry, forwarded by
messenger and wired cablegralns con-
tanning the substance Of the answers to
Its diplomatic Representative abroad
Thus closed one of the most interesting
end important phases of the Chinese en-
tanglement.
The state deDar~>lt absolutely refus-
ed TO make any statement as to the ma
ture Of the answers
With all this it is known that the Ger
man proposal that negotiations with
China be deferred until the Chinese re-
sponsible for the Pekin outrages have
been surrendered to the allies, has failed
of approval by our government The
government does not relinquish the idea
of the ultimate punishment of the of
tenders when they are properly identified.
but it does not believe that the pursuit
of this object should put a stop to all
negotiations.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21-Rumors in con-
nection with the proposed consolidation
of the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies were discussed by Rus
sell Sage, second largest stockholder In
the former company Mr.. Sage said that
reports of such a combine had been in
circulation long time. Up to the pres
ent time they had been talked over by the
directors informally, but there had been
no definite or written proposition made
by either side. AT meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Western Union
Mr.. Sage said he asked Gen. Eckert if
there was anything in the report Of the
consolidation, and that Cen Eekert said
there was not. Mr.. Sage said he did not
care to make any prophecies concerning
the rumored consolidation. W. H. Baker,
vice president of the Postal Telegraph
company, said that the matter had never
been seriously considered by the Posta,
Telegraph company. The talk of consoli-
dation, he said, originated in the Ma
tional Telegraph and Telephone COM
pany. There is no probability" he said,
''of consolidation, so far as our com
pany is concerned William J. Latta.
president of the Telegraph and Telephone
Company of America, said there was alb
solutely no truth in the report of the

READING IS CRIPPLED.
Ten of Their Most Important Cen
ters Tied UD.

READING, Pa. Sept. A.-The events
at Shenandoah have demonstrated for
the first time to the Reading officials
that they could lot depend on their col
lieries to furnish the trade with coal.
Ii is now admitted that ten of their larg-
est points of operation are tied up, and
ten more crippled. In consequence, in
stead of their product of 2,0O0 cars, which
they can turn out when working full
handed and full time, they produced about
S50 cars today, and it is said the capacity
will be still less tomorrow The coal
train service will, it is expected be cur
tailed tomorrow, and in that event, many
trainmen will be temporarily thrown out
of employment.

Crew of Steamer ST. Andrews Barely
Saved Their Lives.
PORT ARTHUR, Ont, Sept. H-The
crew of the Canadian steamer st. An
drews were brought here today by the
tug Georgiana, the steamer having been
wrecked yesterday morning on Blanchard
island, near Black bay. The st. An
drews was bound to Port Arthur from
Jackish, without cargo. After stranding
on the island, the vessel quickly filled and
slid off the rocks into deep water The
crew did not even save their clothes, so
swift was the disaster after the steam
er struck the rocks. It Is considered
lucky that all succeeded in escapi lg be-
fore their boat went down.
The lost boat was formerly the Cana
dian steamer w. B. Hall, which was
wrecked in Georgian bay several years
ago, and then rebuilt She was owned by
Playfair & Co., of Midland, and was COM
manded by Capt Featherstonhaugh who
has an interest in the ship.

to Have Made Gains.
HAzLETON, Pa, Sept, ,21.-The Lehigh
region today seemed to concern itself
more about the possibility of trouble
than any other one thing. Wherever one
went in this district, the belief was gen
eral that an outbreak will occur. There
was, however, no outward evidence any
where that such thing is likely This
feeling was no doubt produced by the dis
turbances at Shendoah and arrival at
Hazelton and on the North side of large
numbers of deputies, who are said to
be prepared for any emergency. 1t was
known that all the coal companies in the
district had increased the number Of
watchmen around their collieries, and it
was known that a small number of depu-
ties had been distributed through the
South side by Sheriff Brislin, of Carbon
county, but nothing was thought of this
AS to the strike itself, there was no
noticeable change today. Both the op-
orators and the strike leaders claim they
have made decided gains on their re-
spective sides. sg:,-T

DISASTROUS STORM.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept N-The storm of
last night over Northern and North
western Texas, was one of the most d.s-
astrous rain and electrical storms ex-
perienced in years. The damage is heavy,
but is confined largely to cotton and rail-
road interests. Farmers declare that the
injury to the cotton crep will reach 10
per cent. Trains on nearly every road in
Northern Texas are behind schedule time
and south-bound trains on the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas and the Houston Cen
tral railways are tied up for the night
at Dallas.
The Trinity river at Dallas has risen
nearly thirty feet since last night, and
overdowed its banks this afternoon. The
situation became so alarming that about
clock Sheriff Hughes sent out mounted
couriers from this city to notify farmers
and other residents along the valley to
move out, as they would otherwise likely
be caught IN a flood during the night

FAST EXPRESS TRAINS.
Some in France Reach u speed Great
er Than Is Attained In
England.

improvements in the speed of GER
tain trains on the Northern railway
of France are attracting attention in
Europe just now. says the New York
Tribune. The distance between Ca
lais pier and the Nord station in Paris
is 1853 miles. Some trains make the
trip in less than four hours, or at the
rate of 80 or more miles an hour. One,
which runs only four days a week,
the Mediterranean train de luxe, COW
ers the distance in three hours and a
quarter. which is equal to 81 miles an
hour. This run is made without a
stop The fastest time made on a
daily train on the Northern railway
of France is three hours and half.
or 50 miles an hour. One OF the Lon
don newspapers, referring to the
topic, says that the nearest approach
to this speed in England are these
two: The trip is made from Pad
dington to Exeter, 1914 miles, in 3
hours and AZ minutes, or at the rate
of 52.2 miles an hour, and from Eus-
ton to Liverpool, 1882 miles, in three
hours and three-quarters, or at the
rate of 5l.6 miles an hour. 1t is in
teresting to compare with these fig
ures the running time of the Empire
miles In eight hours and a quarter
which represents an average speed OF
53.s miles an hour.

LAMP-SIGNALING BY DAY.
lantern Shattered In - Barrel win
Black Canvas Can BE Seen
for Many Miles.

A suggestion was once made to the
war Office that as flag signaling often
involved mems exposing themselves on
the sky line, thereby risking loss OF
life and CHANGING the communication
of messages to foes as well as friends,
it would be well TO encourage lamp
signaling in the daylight, says the Lon
don Telegraph. An ordinary signal
lamp at the back of barrel is IL suf-
ficient darkness for its flashes to be
perfectly visible on an ordinary day,
and they are fairly well suffered from
the enemy. An acetyleDe lantern shut
terc loft and rooted with black canvas
can be seen for miles on the brightest
day, and it's messages can be kept abso-
lutely private. Maj. Ernest Rhodes, ID
S. o., Royal berkshire regiment, has a
dual alphabet" for insurng accuracy
of messages. Thus instead of "A b. i,
should be "A X Il X" A man receiving
"a" followed by any other letter than
*" tits twin would at once know
something was wrong, and signal RE
peat"
Au obvious improvement to our sig
mailing system would be the more gen.
eral use of code words and their substi-
tuition for numerals. A single numera
involves at least five motions of the flag
or Morse key. With the combina tions
of four letters each there could bt
enough code words formed to send all
possible messages, let alone suci.
things as mems regimental numbers.
If every man on enlisting was assigned
a code word as well as a regimental
number the saving of time and expense
in telegraphing would be enormous.
