SCRANTON DEALERS SELLING ARMS
BOSSES and Company Clerks DO Most
Of the Buying.


Scranton. Sent 17-YeSterday was
positively devoid of any excitement in
connection with the strike At the
mine workers headquarters Organizer
Dilcher sat about during the greater
part Of the day chatting with the other
officers, and being interrupted only by
a question now and then over the tele-
phone or from some local union officer
personally rs TO some point not clearly
understood in the instructions sent out
from the headquarters to the local
unions.
Scranton dealers have had their store
of firearms completely exhausted by
the demands of the past few days from
the small stOrekeepers up and down
the valley The larger sized, expensive
revOlvers are almost exclusively speci-
fed in the orders, and from this II is
gathered that it is not the miners, but
the bosses and company clerks, store
keepers and the like who are doing the
buying.
A mass meeting of miners was held
at ThrOop yesterday afternoon. II was
attended by 5000 and was addressed
by Organizer Fred Dilcher. He as
sured the men that they had the strike
as good as won, and that all they had
to do now was to keep away from the
company's property and discuss their
grievances in their halls, and not on
the streets and avoid the saloons.
The Lackawanna region is complete
ly tied up today, and not a single col
liery is being operated. The men seem
to have gerat reliance on the Judgment
of the officers, and obeyed the order
to keep away from the companies
properties.
Superintendent f. f. Loomis. of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western,
and Superintendent c. c. Rose, of the
Delaware and Hudson mining depart
ments, declare that a great many Of
the men want to go to work, but that
they fear the majoriy.

According to the Shanghai corre-

Shanghai correspondent of The Daily
Express, wiring yesterday. "he receiv-
ed a strongly worded cablegram from
Lord Salisbury, declaring that the
British government would insist upon
the return of Emperor Kwang Su to
Pekin as an absolutely essential con-
dition OF peace negotiations, without
which the dissolution of the Chinese
empire was inevitable. Lord Sails
bury informed Earl Ii that all desired
to preserve China, but nothing would
divert them from their irTevocable in
tcntion Of furnishing those responsible
for the outrages. whom they would, if
necessary, pursue all over China"
The German note backed by Lord
SalisbuTy's declaration, is by far the
most important declaration of policy
yet issued by any of the allies. As
The Daily Mail remarks: "Germany's
circular note has turned the tables on
Russia. whose evacuation proposal had
put Germany into an awkward corner.
Now. if Russia assents to the German
note. she will be unable TO continue
to pose as Chna's lenient and fOrgiv-

10 Great Britain. The Morning Post
alone. in @ c0gcnt and well reasoned
editorial, POINTS out a grave objection,
namely. that If the real authors and
instigators OF the uprising should
prove to be identical with the person

hardly be ryrocted that they will de-
liver themselves UP. and that. if the
Chinese government should be desig-
mated as guilty it would be under the

things only terminable by the con-
