Ing of miners at NesquehoniHg last night
was held and of the small number OF
men present half concluded to remain at
work
The Panther Creek men are very u1-
restful. despite the company s -ef1er "f
10 per cent increase and reduction in the
price of powder. They say they are be-
ginning to feel embarrassed by being the
only men at work in the anthracite coal

continuing to stay at work, be termed
blacklegs.

this afternoon is being eagerly awaited.

eaee of ten thousand from Sehuylkill,
Northumberland, and Columbia counties
The men expect he will enlighten them
as to what their delegates are expected
to do at Scranton.

any disposition to treat with the labor

before the convention which Is expected
to insist on an equal scale OF wages Ioi

the fatal voIley had been fired, exclaimed: F.:

nothing in common between u.s.
voulet merely shrugged his shoulders
and left the scene, rejoining Captain Cha
noine The latter complimented Voulet
and that night the two explained the sit
uation to their men, adding that they de-
sired to found an Independent Empire in
Africa
The soldiers seemingly assented, but
when. the officers retired they resolved TO
leave them in silence the following morn
ing which they did. Chanoine pursued
them on horseback and menaeed them in

THE PRESIDENT RETURNS.
An Answer to France Decided Upon
at the Cabinet Meeting
IN MARYLAND.

President and Mrs Mckinley reached
Washington this morning at 7;44 o'clock
via the Pennsylvania Road. They were
driven at once to the White House. Pri-
vate Secretary George Cortelyou and Ex-
ecutive Clerks Webster and Latta, accom-
panied the party. Both the President and
Mrs. Mckinley are IN excellent health.
and are thoroughly rested by their vaca-
ton They left Washington for Canton
during the latter part Of June. and were
in the Ohio town continuously since then
except for the trip TO Somerset, Pa. to
attend the Baer- Mckinley wedding, and
the trips made TO Washington and Chica-
go. The President expects to spend most
of his time between now and election here.
He will leave, however for Canton in about
ten days for brief trsp.
The Cabinet met at :. [ o'clock today, and
decided what the ansSser Of the United
States should be to tie French note. No
official announcement wiz be made of this
Governments reply until it has reached
the French Foreign oHice.
The main questions considered were
whether the United States would agree to
the prohibition OF the importation OF arms
by China. whether the forts between Pekin
and Tientsin shall be razed. and whether
permanent legation guards shall be main
tanned in the Imperial capital. These are
the only questions or The French note
which have not been answered by this Gov
ernment in its reply to the German aote
and in previous diplomatic correspondence
II is generally understood from official
sources that this Government viii not
favor prohibiting the Importation OF arms
by China after her present difficulties with
the allies have been satisfactorily adjust
ed. AS to the proposed razing of Chinese
forts between the coast port and Pekin, il
is uncertain what answer the United
States will make to France 1t is thought
this would leave China in a poor position
to enforce order and prevent disturbance:
by rowing bands.
The Imperial Government will be re
| quired to prevent the recurrence OF suel
| disorders as those OF the past summer
and the destruction of her forts woult
make this requirement of the allies harde
| to carry out.
| All of the members of the Cabinet wer
at the meeting except Secretary Root.
It was announced after the meeting tina
a reply from Minister Conger had been re
ceived IN which he named about ten prom
inent Chinese officials, who should b
marked for punishment for completely il
the Boxer uprising.
Cabinet members denied that anything
had been done toward naming the person
mel OF the Chinese Peace Commission. N
| new steps were taken toward selecting tn
| two additional American members of tn
| international Peace Council.

The Complaint of MIR. Ellis.

The State Department officials claim
that the reported outrage" committed by
the Turkish officials on W. E. Ellis, an
American citizen, has not yet reached
them. and that no complaint has been
made. 1t is further held that if the out
rage consisted merely in search of the
person of MIR. Ellis, as claimed, nothing
can be done. as every Government has an
unquestionable right to search persons en-
tering its ports, and this right Is daily
exercised at New York and other Ameri-
can ports. MIR. Ellis is a native of South
Carolina and a constituent OF Senator Nc
Laurin. The State Department officials
hold that he has no good ground for COM
plaint.
