democratic skies are tinged with a roster
hue today than when we met in convention
four years ago Then a financial cataclysm
had spread over the country. and although IFS
every inducing cause was easily traced to the
errors and folIies Of the Republican party, yet
we were in power when it came and were
wrongly held responsible for the wreck Of
shattered fortunes which followed IN its wake.
Torn asunder By discussions within aud disas
tiers without, our party faced gloomy and
foreboding future, which seemed to augur its
dissolution The problem then was TO select
a standard bearer bold enough to cover the
rear of a retreat and save the party from de-
struction if not from defeat.
"While Discord with her flaming torch con
fused the connsels, from out the sunset realm
a champion came and babe defiance to the
oncoming host. With the strength of youth
and the wisdom of age, with knightly mien
and matchless speech, he lowered as the great
champion All who saw him then with one
accord did hail him chief and gave our party 5
banner to his hand Slowly despair gave way
to hope, confidence took the place where
timorous fear had been; the broken, shattered
columns formed again, and behind him, sing.
ing, came six million five hundred thousand
valiant men to that unequal fight The story
of how well he fought, how fearlessly he fell
and how dearly the enemy victory was bought
has all gone out into history now.

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.

Edward Clark, who was shot below
the heart, made a remarkable escape,
the bullet having been extricated and
he is improving to-day. He had gone
into the street to take his children out
of the way and in this manner received
the wound
All colleries around Shenandoah, Lost
Creek and William Penn are closed
down. Not a mine in the region is
working to-day. This, the operators
claim, is because their men are afraid
to go to work for fear of violence at the
hands of the strikers. 1t Is pay day at
William Penn, and the latter claim the
mines closed down on that account
The deputies who were with Sheriff
Toole last evening and did the shooting
were all selected from the best citizens
of Shenandoah, and the report that they
were the scum of the country Is untrue.
They were forty in number, and If the
troops had not arrived to-day it Is be-
lieved they would have received injury
at the hands of those who participated
IN the riot.
The camp equippage for the troops
now here is arriving and the soldiers
will sleep in their tents tonight. This
promptness is due to the fact that the
State arsenal authorities at Harrisburg
had prepared the equippage last week
for the entire Third Brigade under or
ders to have the paraphernalia ready in
case of emergency.

communication to the powers of July 8,

Without abating in anywise its de-
liberate purpose to exact the fullest ac-
countability from the responsible au
thors of the wrongs we have suffered in
China, the government OF the United
States is not disposed to regard it as a
preliminary condition to entering into
diplomatic negotiations with the Chi
nese government. On the other hand,
this government is disposed to hold that
punishment of the high responsible au-
thors of these wrongs, not only In Pc
kin, but throughout China, is essential
ly a condition to be embraced and pro-
vided for in the negotiations for a final
settlement. 1t is the purpose OF this
government, at the earliest practicable
moment, to name its plenipotentiaries
for negotiating settlement with China
and in the meantime to authorize its
minister in Pekin to enter forthwith
into conference with the duly author

LEHIGH WAS CALM.

HAZd1ETON, Pa, September 22-
Calmness prevailed throughout the Lee
high region this morning No disturb
ances were reported. There is still a
tense feeling, but the sending of troops
to Shenandoah, is regarded as bring
Ing matters to a crisis and the situa-
ton here is therefore somewhat reliev-
ed.
Armed deputies are distributed near
most Of the collieries and along the
public roads. There was the usual num-
Der of strikers out early this morning
trying to persuade workers not to go
into the mines, but they did not meet
with as much success as on the previous
days. The strikers were careful not to
carry their persuasion to the point of
intimidation. The deputies have not
made themselves conspicuous, having
orders from the sheriff to minimize the
possibility of getting into trouble. So
long as the idle men in this district,
who number more than $4,000, refrain
from gathering into large crowds and
marching from town to town there is

WASHINGTON, September 22-The
State Department tonight made public
the text of the notes addressed by it to
the governments of Germany, Russia
and China in answer to inquiries from
them as to the attitude of the United
States toward tn various phases of the
Chinese problem.
The official statement issued by the
Navy Department in advance of the
publication of the notes bears out pre-
diction finally decided upon. The state
ment from the Navy Department is full
of significance of purpose on the
part of the government to see to it
that if there is any subsequent at
tempt at territorial aggression on the
part of any of the powers who already
have declared themselves as willing to
abide by the expressed determination
of the United States to refrain from
seizing upon Chinese territory, then the
United States is to lose no right or
privilege which it now enjoys by such
action.
The answer to the German note is
carefully phrased so as to soften the
unqualified refusal of the United States
government to make the punishment

tors Has Driven Him From Middle
Ground.
HAZLETON, Pa, September 22.-All
is quiet and orderly in this region to-
night. President Mitchell tonight is
sued a statement of his views on the
Shenandoah killing as follows:
From information l have received
from those who have investigated the
situation, it appears that the shooting
on the part of the sheriff and his depu
ties was entirely uncalled for, inasmuch
as the strikers had not injured single
member of the sheriff's posse; and the
circumstances forcibly illustrates the
ruthless disregard the sheriff and his
deputies have for the lives of persons
whom it was their plain duty to place
under arrest if they had violated any
of the laws of the State of Pennsylvania.
The Governor in calling out the State
troops has, in my Judgment, acted in
considerably and without a thorough
investigation. | am convinced that the
miners who are on strike are fully i'm
pressed with the necessity of observing
the law and conducting themselves in
a peaceful manner at all times"

REC0LLECTIoNS BY MARTIN.

Ex-Sheriff James Martin, who was at
the head of the deputies at Lattimer
three years ago when twenty-one min
ers were killed and over fifty wounded,
says in an interview that most people
have no idea what sheriff in the coal
regions has to contend with in times of
strike. THE passions of working
men, he said, ARE aroused to the high
est pitch when they see other men at
work and it only requires the report of
a pistol to start good sized row."
Continuing he said:
Some people are inclined to criticise
me for my action at Lattimer, but like
Sheriff Toole, could do nothing else
but what I did. Either l or the mob
had to rule. As sworn officer of the
law | knew my duty in the matter. The
first thing to do was to preserve the
peace, and in my efforts to do so blood
shed resulted. History only repeated
itself at Shenandoah yesterday"

Father Phillips, of ST. GabriePs Cath
Ollie Church, who has worked diligently
for arbitration, tonight comes out fiat
ly on the side of the strikers. He says:
IF the executive officials of the big
coal carrying companies have been cor
rectly quoted by to-days papers arbi-
tration is no longer means to the end
desired by the general public, namely,
a discontinuance of the conflict between
labor and capital. There is now no al
tentative but fight to the finish be-
tween organized labor and organized
capital. Honest efforts for peace have
been throttled and since reason and
justice and mercy will not be heard the
operators must either arrogate to him
self the title of coal king and sway his
sceptre over unwilling subjects or the
miners must meet the issue by renewed
efforts to deplete the market by the
complete prevention of production"

Imperial German Embassy,
WASHINGTON, September IS, 1900.
Mr.. Secretary:
By the direction Of the Imperial
Chancellor, | have the honor to re-
spectfully communicate to Your Excel
lency the following: The government
OF His Majesty, the Emperor, consid
ers as a preliminary condition for en-
tering into diplomatic negotiations with
the Chinese government surrender of
such persons as are determined upon
as being the first and real perpetrators
of the crimes committed in Pekin
against international law. The num-
Der of perpetrators who served as tools
is too great; a wholesale execution
would be averse to the civilized con-
science. Furthermore, circumstances
would not allow thai even the group of
leaders could be completely ascertain
ed. But the few among them whose
guilt is notorious should be surrender
ed and punished. The representatives
of the powers in Pekin will be in a
position to make or adduce in this in
vestigation fully valid testimony.
The government of His Majesty, the
Emperor, therefore, proposes to the in
terested cabinets that they request
their representatives in Pekin to des-
ignate the principal Chinese person
ages whose guilt in the instigation or
execution of the crimes is beyond a
doubt
Requesting of Your Excellency re-
ply as soon as is possible I embrace
this occasion to tender the assurances of
my most distinguished consideration.
