8 = Germany Favorable.

Washington. Oct. 2.--Favorable news has reached Washington from Euro psan chancelories indicating that com plete agreement as to China 1s within sight. The agreement will be on the basia of the principles laid down by Secretary Hay in his note of July $, ana the subsequent notes treating or tnaI subject. The accord Of Ruesia "ltn the United States Is more compleNe than was indicated at first, ana the re- ports show that all of the European na- tions probably are placing themselves In position to take advantage of the opening made by the United States' and soon will be ready to begin negoti- etions for a settlement With the Cni- nese government. The Russians al- ready have given notice of such pur- pose, and while the text of the French note on this subject referred to In to- days press dispatches has not reacheo the state department, the officials are satisfied that this is correctly reported and that France like Russia, is ready to negotiate at once.
 As for Germany, either the position of that government has been miRunder- StOOQ or IL nus buSldlAcL u tilaAibr D~ mind. Possibly the former is the case, but, however that may bs, 1t Is quite certain from the advicee which have reached Washington to-day that the German government upon careful 1n- spection of the plans for settlement projected by the United States, finds therein nothing inconsistent with the German aspirations. Therefore 1t may be expected that Germany. too, will ba prepared soon to join in this common movement toward settlement It may be stated that. altogether, the prospects of an adjustment of the Cht- nese difficulty without resort to formal war are very much brighter than they were one week ago
 The news developments of the day were few, confined to a cable from Mir. Conger recitins the departure of the Russian minister and suite from Pe- kin, and an authorization by Minister Wu of the promised punishment of Prince Tuan and others.

NO BREAK IN THE STRIKE
ADDITIONAL NOTICES OF WAGE IN- GREASE HAVE NO EFFECT


 May Also be Demamded-The Grens Mass Meeting at WiIkcsbarre-15,Oo 900 Miners in Line-Addressed by Prest- dent Mitchell.
 Philadelphia, Oct. 2.-No break has yet occurred in the ranks of the strlK- ing mine workers, though addltlonal notices of the offer of an increase or lo per cent. in wages were posted through out the region to-day. In fact there were many indications to-day of an ln- tent on the part of the strikers 10 insist on other concessions, and to also re- main out until the operators give recog- milton to their national organization.
 The feature of the day was the pa rade and mass meeting of the mlne workers at Wilkesbarre, arranged With the object of demonstrating the strength of the United Mine workers. conservative estimate places the number of strikers in the procession at fifteen thousand, and the day was gen. erally given up as holiday by' the people of Wilkesbarre and other Lu- verne county towns.
 The meeting was addressed by Preel- dent Mitchell and others. In his speech he did not intimate anything as to the probability of an early conven- tion of miners, and after the meeting when questioned on that subject, ne said that not a local union had request ed the calling of a convention.
 A significant move In this dlrectlon' however, developed tonight at Shenan- doah, where all the local branches or the United Mine workers held meetings and selected delegates to a convention to be called later by President Mitchell.
 This is the first announcement or the selection of convention delegates. The entire region was quiet to-day and very few mines were in operation.
