ROCEHILL LEFT FOR PEKIN.
Ii Hung Chang Also Started for
Pekin on Same Day.
COMMISSIONERS NOT NAMED.

Washington, Sept. 19--Specia1 Com
missioner william w RockhiII, who
was sent to China by President McKin-
lev to make a special report on matters
incident to the existing complications
in that country is now on his way to
Pekin- Mr.. Rocixhi1 has been at
Shanghai for some days pursuing his
line Of inquiry in that section of the
empire. but according to dispatch re-
ceived at the navy department from
Admiral Remey, the ommissioner has
left that place for Talxu and Pekin- If
he goes direct to Pelein he should reach
there about the same time as the Chi
nese statesman. Lii Hung Chang, who
also has just left Shanghai for the cap
ita1 city.
Nothing further has come from Gen
eral Chafee, and the situation regard
ing the question of the withdrawal of
the troops from Pekin, it was sta ted,
was unchanged
When Ii Hung Chang reaches Tien
Tsin he will assume the viceroyship of
the great province of Chilli; thence he
will proceed to PeL<in. Whether in
his new Office as vicerOy, and with the
additional powers he may have a
peace plenipotentiary he Will be able
to meet the demands of the foreign
ton of order, the preservation of peace
and the protection of foreigners, are
questions which must answer them
selves as time progresses 1t is under
stood that, up to this time, there had
not been any serious consideration by
this government of the personnel of
any commissioners that may be APP
pointed to secure a peaceful and stable
government Several names have been
mentioned, but this is far the
matter has progressed
Nothing official has reached this gov
eminent of the reported rejection by
Germany of Yung LIZ as a peace negO-
tiator with Ii Hung Chang and Prince
Ching 1t would not be surprising,
however, if this We're true, as the Off
Gals believe Germany any other
government would be justified in re
fusIng to treat with person who has
been regarded, in part at least, res
pOnsi BILE for much of che harm that has
been done.

Berlin sim For Blood.

Berlin. Sept. 2o-The foreign office
has sent a circular to all the powers
announcing that tie German govern
ment considers that an Indispensable
preliminary to the beginning of peace
negotiations with China is the deliver
ing up of those who are responsible
for the outrages.
London, Sept 2o--The Morning
Post gives voice to the general senti-
ment among the powers upon the vote,
thus: If the real authors and insti-
gators of the uprising should prove to
be identical with the personnel of the
Chinese government, it can hardly be
expected that they Will deliver them
selves up. and that, if the Chinese gov
eminent should be designated as
guilty, it would be under the ban of
the powers, a condition of things only
terminable by the conquest of China
revolution producing new gov,
eminent.

THE POWERS ARE DIVIDED.
Germany With England---France
and Russia Have Other Plans.
EACH AsKU. S. TO JOIN THEM.

Washington, Sept 21--With the
German proposition to postpone peace
negotiations until the persons respon-
sib1e for the Pekin outrages are pun
ished, and the French and Russian
notification of the purpose of those
governments to begin such negotiations
at once, awaiting him, the president
found much matter of Importance to
dispose of upon his arrival in Washing
ton.
The conclusion reached from the de-
ve1opments is that the powers are
divided as to China and that at present
Germany and Great Britain stand
aligned against France and Russia
while both sides are ardently seeking
the adherence of the United States
government The issue appears to be
made up in such shape to dismiss
further hope of attaining that harmony
of action respecting China that the
president has been seeking so far and
the point apparently has been reached
where the United Stetes must take
sides or at once proceed to act entirely
independent of other powers in reach
ing settlement The Chinese govern
ment is urging the latter course upon
the state department but this far there
has been a restraining force in the de-
the first of the powers to break the
solid front that has been maintained
up to the present time in dealing with
China
Minister WI Ting Fang was greatly
| interested in Gernany's note to the
powers asking combined action in a de-
mand that those responsible for the
trouble in China be punished in
dispensible preliminary to any peace
| negotiations.
The condition imposed upon China
would amount to determining one OF
the subjects of negotiations before ne
! gotiations had been commenced. The
! Chinese ENJOYS are invested with com
Plete power to make terms with the
| powers, SO that when the negotiations
are opened this question and all others
| viii be proper subjects for considera-
ton and final settlement by those hav-
ing complete authority to deal with
| them But to take one subject up in
| advance, settle it and make its execu-
ton an indispensable preliminary TIC
negotiations is extremely hard

work goes on OF recovering the dead

lies on the south side of what remains
of the city. Over 100 are recovered and
cremated daily. Among them has been

dead, tragic scenes are witnessed that
move the stoutest hearts
The task of recovering the bodies
that are beneath or damned into the
immense rick of debris, extending from
the eastern to the western limits of the
city, a distance of over three miles, is a
Herculean one, and the most expedi-
tous way of removing the whole, from
sanitary point of view, is by fire
This, however, in the crippled condi-
ton of the fire department and water
works would eadanger the remaining

PHILLIPS AGAl
a Debate Between Mitchell and Operator
MarkIe

HazeIton- Pa sept eI--There was
a meeting at Jeddo of the employees of
Marlk1e & Co, who operate four collier
les President Mitchell, of the Mine
Workers addressed the miners, urging
the men to stop work, not to in
jure the interests of all miners
Mr. Marl11e was present and finally
got a hearing He said the company
stood ready to arbitrate any differences
with the men He said the company
had an arbitration agreement of long
standing with the men. and that he
would live up to 1T and expected the
men to do the same He also said that
he would abide by the decision of the
arbitrators, no matter what the award
might be. Mr.. Marlxle concluded his
address by paying his respects to the
United Mine Workers officials calling
them agitators and charging them
with being responsib BILE for all the tur-
MOL in the region
Mr.. Mitchell then got the steps
and, standing beside Mr. Mark1e, told
the crowd that the United Mine Work
ers would not accept arbitration on
that basis 1t must be the whole re-
gion and not part of it.
Mr.. Mark1e again addressed the men
and said that he would accept Arch
OAShoP ny an o. % O.
arbitrator, to which Mr. Mitchell re-
piled that he would accept the arch
bishop on the basis that the United
Mine Workers proposed-arbitr
for the whole region at one and the
same time
At this point Father Phillips. who
was in the crowd, was called upon and
delivered speech favoring arbitration.
He told the men that there was chan &c
to arbitrate their honest differences,
and If they did not seize the oppor-
tunity they would be giving organized
labor the hardest blow it has ever been
dealt, and that all the men who refused
the offer deserved all the hardships
that the operators could put upon them
in hundred years

-Four Hard Coal Districts.

Philadelphia, Sept. 19.-The great
strike of mine workers in the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania, eore-
sents practically the hard coal output
of the world According to President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America, who is personally directing e
the strike, the success of the first
days effort to tie up the mines exceed
ed the expectation of the strike lead
ers. The hard coal region is divided
into four great districts, the LacIa-
wanna Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuyl-
kill regions. In the first two
representing nearly 10000 men, the
tie-up is practically complete. Only
one mine, employing a few hundred
men, is being operated, and this the
strikers say they hope to close soon.
In the Lehigh region the situation is a
stand-off, about 900 of the I6, 900 men
employed having quit. Principally
because the union has comparatively
little strength in the Sch uy1l1ill region
and the workmen there have no de-
cided grievance, as in other districts,
the strike was not general among the
upward of so. 600 men employed In
dications, however, point to the close
of some mines in the last named dis
trict, despite the assertion of the
officials of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal company, and other compa-
mics operating in the region, that they
will continue their collieries in opera
ton.
Nearly all the efforts are being de
voted to organizing the men in the
weak Schuy1kin and Lehigh regions
and their organizers and orators are
redoubling their efforts No violence
worth mentioning marred the first day
of the struggle. Practically no pro-
gress has yet been made in the efforts
of some of the clergy to bring about a
settlement of the trouble through
arbitration.
1t will be remembered that the first
movements toward a strike We're de-
layed several weeks by the efforts of
c1ergymen. headed by Catholic father

Prospectors N1ust 20.

Washington, Sept. 22.=Attorney
General Griggs has issued orders for
the removal of prospectors and miners
from the Kiowa and Comanche reser-
walton. The intruders were removed
some time ago but they afterwards
secured a court injunction restraining
the Indian agent from interfering with
them The Attorney Generals opinion
concludes as follows:
1.-The country is still an Indian
reservation and it is necessary to the
performance by the United States of
the obligations assumed in said agree
ment that it should remain in the state
of a reservation until those obligations
shall have been discharged by a full
compliance Herewith. 1t is still In

An Acute Crisis.

Washington, Sept 21--The general
impression here is that the German
note demanding the punishment of the
Chinese officials responsible for the
outrages upon foreigners a condi :
ton precedent to peace negotiations
has brought the Chinese trouble to an
acute crisis as far the United States
government is concerned This CON
clusion is based upon the belief in Off
cial circles that the Chinese govern
ment cannot accept the German
proposition so that it is now for the
United states to withdraw its forces
from China Immediately, to join
Germany and England, and perhaps
some other of the allied powers, in a
prolonged war with China.
