THEY CRITICISE AMERICA.
English Press ~DispIeased With Dur Re
ply to Germany.

London, Sept. 24.-The afternoon
newspapers which comment on the
American reply to the German note
attribute it to political exigencies."
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
1T is a shock to find the government
at Washington taking up the position
that the question of the punishment of
the Chinese responsible for the out
RACES, torture and murder of Ameri-
can citizens should be left to the in
.itiative of the murderers themselves,
for it is impossible to doubt that the
responsible authors are the imperial
authorities"
The Globe says:
The refusal must have met a mis-
chievous effect at Picking. Much, how
ever, as President McKinley's attitude
is to be deplored, it can have no effect
on the British government. which, of
course, will continue to insist that the
punishment of the proved murderers
shall be an indispensable condition
precedent to the negotiations"

ference.

Cincinnati, Sept. ga conference
committee of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron and Steel Workers and
of the manufacturers today signed the
scale that will be effective until
July, 1901. 1t is what is known as the
yearly scale, which begins always with
July. Owing to the unusual fluctua-
lions Of the market, the new scale had
not been signed when the mills shut
down June 80, and the conditions have
been unfavorable ever since June, SC
that the mills have been idle for al
most three months.
AS soon as the scale was signed this
morning messages were sent in every
direction, before the conference
breakfasted, ordering the fires built at
once. Some mills will start tomorrow,
and all others as soon rs possible.
This decision NEAR employment to-
morrow to over 10000 workiDgmen
who have been idle since June, await
ing the adjustment of their wage
scales. Meantime, the wage confer.
ence committee of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
has been five different conferences
with the manufacturers at New York,
Detroit, Indianapolis and Youngstown,
as well as here.

For several months past expert
ments have been conducted at Sas.
sari, in Sardinia, by DR.. Fermi, Dr..
Cossul-Rocca, and DR.. Lumbar, for
the purpose of Kidding that town of
the mosquitoes with which it is over
run. The doctors effectually destroyed
the larvae by distributing large guam
titles Of petroleum in the swamps and
other spots where the insects bred.
and the mosquitoes were exterminated
by chlorine and other powerful de-
structive chemicals. The doctors in
their report consider 1t possible to free
any town infested with mosquitoes by
this means, provided the place Is not
too u%nfavorably situated. 1t is an eco
nomical remedy, costing only about
$3.50 a year for a town possessing a
population of about $4,000 inhabitants.

New York, Sept. 24.-An epidemic of
suicides seems to have struck New
York. Tie number of such cases
brought to the attention of the police
in the past day or two is regarded as
extraordinary. Besides several sue.
cessfull attempts, the police have
handled a number of cases where the
persons failed to accomplish their pur.
pose. The successful ones were:
Magnus Swenzin, a cabinet maker,
who drowned himself in North river;
George Burck, an insurance solicitor,
resorted to shooting; John Meyer, took
poison and turned on the gas; James
Campbell, shot himself; Edward
Schwarzweld, at one time a prosper
Gus merchant of Detroit and later of
Chicago, committed suicide in Central
park by taking poison. Mary Crane
and Elmer Bates were unsuccessful in
their attempts. The former took pois-
and the latter jumped from a fer

H.. FRAzEE,
Proprietor.


PARIS, which Is always q devotee Of
the curious and bizarre. has establish
ed a museum of frauds. The project
Is yet in its inception. but the Idea
has met great popular approval and
thousands have already visited the
small building set apart for the Illus
tration and preservation of methods
whereby the government has been
robbed of its due. The collection Is
a rogue's gallery without portraits and
resembles the old Curio Hall in tho
Treasury department at Washington.
The American gallery of frauds was
often referred to when his scheme
was first preached by the French Gov
eminent. 1t was argued against its
adoption that after many years the
public exhibit at Washington had
been discontinued, because 1t was be-
lieved-and in one or two cases found
to be true that young men gazing
at the ingenious devices for counter
feiting and the clever schemes worked
by criminals to defraud the Govern
ment had been spurred to emulation
and had acted upon the hint. The
French mind. following the question
to effect a turn further. however, came
to the conclusion that by showing
to the public at large that even the
most ingenious methods failed and
that the operator. however clever,
came to grief, citizens with a desire
for emulation would be deferred by
the knowledge that escape was i'm
possible. So the museum of frauds
is an established fact. as much a sight
place as the morgue. Clever and curl
GUS are the things there to be seen.
A roll of cloth with a can in one end

hundreds Of dollars worth Of valuable
laces wrapped about the dogs body
and sent over the border from Italy.
1t is supposed that the revenue thieves
struggled in thousands of dollars in
this way before they were detected by
an accident. A gendarme's dog en-
gagged the brute smuggler in a fight
and the outer skin came off. The dog
was followed and its owner arrested

Miners Had Best Stay in Colorado.

Miners Had Best Stay in Colorado.
George H. Moulton of Colorado, Uni
ted States consul to Demerara, British
Guinea, has arrived here on leave of
absence. In discussing affairs in Brit
ish Guinea, Mr.. Moulton said: THE
rush to the gold fields of British
Guinea and Venezuela, which was ex-
pectedto follow the settlement of the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, failed to
materialize. The new boundary fixe1
by the arbitration court is quietly ac-
copied by the people of British Guinea
and Venezuela and no further dispute
is likely to arise. Gold mining is still
being prosecuted in the British Guinea
gold fields, and there are a few Ameri-
cans there trying to make their for
tunes. The yield of these gold fields
is about 100000 900 a year. All gold
is obtained by placer mining. No
shafts have Yet been sunk for lode
mining. Mining in British Guinea is
attended by the greatest difficulties
and hardships and considerable dan
ger. The gold fields are some distance
in the interior. To reach them, min
ers have to travel through the swamp
lands and dense brush, infested by al
igators, enormous reptiles and wild
beasts. Everything the miners carry
has to be packed by men. British
Guinea is no place for American min
ers. They can do better in Colorado
and Montana.

Il shall not be responsible for any

he said. The entire Hazelton region
was reported extremely quiet this
morning. The NJ. S. Kemmerer mines,
at Sandy Run, a small operation, are
tied up for the first time, and the Eek
ley c"olliery of G.. B. Markle & Co. is
working with about the same force as
on Saturday, Notwithstanding the
strong efforts made by strikers to keep
all the men from going into the mine.
The Lattimer mines were reported to
be tied up, but the mine officials there
say their colliery is. working as usual,
with only fifty men short out of LOO.

Not a ColIiery in Operation.
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 24.-The
promise of protection by the state
troops failed to encourage the mine
workers of this region who expressed
a desire to continue at work and the
strike in this region is today more ex-
tensive than at any time since the
strike was inaugurated. 1t is stated
that not a colliery in the vicinity of this
city resumed operations this morning
owing to the failure of the employees
to report for duty.
Messages received from various
towns in the region announced that
every mine from Mahoney City to Ash
land. including the latter place, is
closed. 1t is estimated that fully 49,
900 men, employed principally by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company and the Lehigh Valley
company are now on strike. and the
indications this morning point to a
continuance of the tie-up.
Soldiers Patrol the City.
This morning five battalions of infan-
try and one troop of cavalry proceeded
to the outskirts of the town and march
ed along the umerou roads leading
to the various mines. They met with
but few strikers and the number Of
employees willing to work was still less.
Opinion is divided here as to whether
the new strikers are thoroughly in
undated by the threats of the strik-
ers or whether the agents of the I'm
tied Mine Workers have succeeded in
better organizing the union.
General Goblin remained at his head
quarters during the day waiting re-
ports from his troops. Later he drove
through the mining districts and found
everything quiet.
Company B of the Fourth regiment
of Allentown is acting as provost guard
today and the soldiers are patroling the

companies d, F and G, arrived at Nc
Adoo. the nearest point in Schuylkill
county to the city of Hazelton, at 5
O'Clock this morning. Owing to the
early hour. there were not owe a doz-
en- persons at the little railroad station
on the outskirts of the town to see the
infantrymen. come in. The troops left
the camp at Shenandoah at 4 o'clock,
and did not bring their camp equip
ment with them because they expect
to return to Shenandoah tonight if
nothing transpires to require their fur
Their presence lea Hazelton.
Marched Through the Towns.
Lieutenant Colonel Hutchinson, who
is in command OF the battalion, said he
was ordered there to make a demon
stration by marching his men through
McAdoo and the surrounding towns.
Each man carried twenty rounds Of
ammunition. AS soon as the battal-
ion had left the cars, Colonel Hutchin-
son hired a team and made an inspec-
ton of the surrounding country. He
returned to the railroad station at $50
a. IN. and Immediately gave the order
to march. The route taken was down
the Tajaqua road, through McAdoo and
then west to Honeybrook. Here a de-
tour was made which brought the bat
talon to Audenreid, Luzerne county,
and then they marched back to the
point from which they started. The
troops we're received by the inhabi-
tants of the various towns with evil
Idence Of enmity and dislike. No cheer
was given them at any place, but many
a jeer was ent after them as they
passed groups of people on the streets.
The women seemed to be more annoy
ed at the presence Of the soldiers
than the men. One woman, after the
troops had passed, shouted to a group
Of men,: "If you don't shoot some of
those fellows you are no good"
The Burgess Incensed.
Probably the most incensed person
in McAdoo over the arrival of the
militia was Edward ]. Mcclellan, a
blacksmith, who is the burgess Of the
town. He stated that the action of
General Goblin in sending soldiers
there was an outrage, and a reflection
on the city of McAdoo. He said his
people were law-abiding, and pointed
to the fact that the town was so peace.
