1t is from the western field that more
definite statements come. Large opera
tions are apparently about to begin.
General French, who has now returned
to Rensberg from his conference with
Lord Roberts. has sent what is described
as an overwhelming force of infantry
to seize Norval's Pont This is where
the railway, before it was destroyed,
crossed the Orange river and onnected
with the Free State trunk line with
Bloemfontein.
The Beers at Colesberg have been in
danger Of being surrounded by the
largely reinforced and extending lines
of the British. An occupation of Nor
walls Pont in force would presumably
render C0lesberg untenable.
The Beers are showing great activity
in the Naauwpoort and Colesburg dis
tricts. Many of the guns hitherto fac
ing Lord Methuen are believed to have
gone to Norval's Point The British,
therefore, may find formidable bodies OF
Beers there.
The war office announces that Ia
transports will be dispatched between

Lehigh Valley Coal Company in his city

Lehigh Valley company is presiding.
II is understood that President Truesdale
Of the Lackawanna company has ~eferred
to the superintendent the plan of settlement
of the miners strike proposed by the
presidents Of the coaI-carryi ing railroads.
Up to this time the representatives of the
companies in this section have had arbi-
trary power. and before any move was
made by the presidents of the companies
the high officials in charge of the mines
were consulted. But it would appear
that the presidents Of the companies have
relegated all power 10 themselves. The
large individual operators were not repre-
sented at the conference.
one individual operator stood outside the
door where the conference was held. Asked
if he was taking part in the deliberations.
he said: NO. The individual operators
will cut no figure in the settlement. if a set

NEW YORK. September 2s.-Ten persons
seven or them women, members Of a coach
lnB party, who had been badly injured in a
Wlld dash down mountain side behind
iour runaway horses, reached Jersey City
today. A party of twelve had set out in
the coach from the Twin Mountain sHouse,
Maplewood, n. II. Going down the noun
tain the horses took fright and ran away
They dashed down the steep road, the
coach pitching from side to side until it got
caught in ditch and was wrecked.
In the party were Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Muller Of No. 6S Freeman street, Newark;
their daughters, Daisy, aged seventeen,
and Ida, fourteen; Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Borsum Of Plainfeld, N. j., and their chill
dren, Louis, Martha Ida and Anna.
In the coach were also George McPher-
son Of Detroit and John Mcpherson, his
brother, Of Howell Mich
The smashing of the coach landed the
whole party in the ditch, the horses con-
tinning their mad gallop down the HILL
landing dead and mangled at it's base.
Mr.. Muller was the only one of the party
who was able after the accident to make
his way back to the hotel. From there he
chartered the special which was at
tached to the Boston and Baltimore ex-
press. He did this because the surgical ac-
commodations at Maplewood weres made

All the injured were carried, some in

where they were hurt to the hotel and
thence to the Pullman car Doctors and

LETTER FROM MRS. CONGER
WIFE OF MINISTER TELLS OF THE
SIEGE.
Awful Ordeal From June 20 to August
Ii Glad to See the
Troops.

CHICAGO, September 2S.-A letter from
Mrs. E. H. Conger wife of the United
States minister in China, was received yes
terday by Mrs. j. s. Mcconnell, sister of
Mrs. Conger who lives in this city. 1t is
dated August Is, and says:
I'VE are alive and safe. Our troops ar
rived the 14th. Oh what rejoicing; what
day it was! If you could only have seen
you could realize little the true feeling
of the heart. Heart spoke to heart. We
had been besieged in the British legation
ever since June %, under fire day and night.
At times the battle would be terrific. 1t
would seem that they were right upon us,
but they were not. They tried to shoot us
and kill us with their bullets and shells,
then to burn us up, then to blow us up with
their mines and at last to starve US out.
No, this is not all. They kept laying traps
to get us to come out of our fortified city
with promises to escort us to Ten Tsin or
to go to the tsung II yamen, to be under
their protection. We did not listen to them
We ate horse and mule meat, and it was
good. We ate rice, rice and rice, and 1t was
good. l will tell you, we are grateful: we
know how to be. For two days we killed
dogs for the Chinese.
The night of the 18th was the most ter
rife night of all. We were under fierce and
angry firing the night through. They again
opened up their cannon on us. 1t seemed as
though they would break through and come
down upon us. The bell in the tower of
the legation toled and tolled for every
man to come to his post. A general at
tack was upon US
Il cannot tell you how dreadful all of
this has been. But the Almighty hand of
GOD alone has saved US. No human power
could. OF course. l depend upon Mrs.
Woodward to tell you. Mr. Conger has
much to do here, and so have most of the
other ministers. All have worked with a

Text Not Given Out, but Their Tenor
is Not Concealed,

Minister Conger has been advised by the
State Department of the substance Of the
replies made by this government to the
governments of Germany, Russia and China
respecting China, which clearly indicated to
him the general nature of the instructions
he is to receive. Moreover, by this time he
is informed of the orders issued to General
Chafee to reduce his force TO a legation
guard. The note to China specifically point
ed out the lines on which this government
will Issue its instructions to its minister
The document itself is in course Of final ap-
proval Acting Secretary Hill having COM
peted the draft some days ago nd forward
ed 1t to the President. 1t is said that the
text Of the instructions will not be given
publicity at present for diplomatic reasons.
but there is no concealment of the general
scope of the document, which Is on the
lines laid down on the three notes.
In this connection 1t is said at the State
Department that Mr.. Conger will put these
negotiations in motion without any purpose
of acting for any government other than
the United States, although the government
steadily keeps in mind that the United
States is but one of the several nations
mutually interested I'm obtaining common
end and it is hoped that the effect of Mr.
conger's making a beginning toward nego-
tiations may induce other powers to follow.
AT the same time, the government has
never assumed to lay down any mandate
any of the other powers.
1t is believed that the State Department
already has taken steps through Minister
WI to impress upon the Chinese govern
ment the undesirability of the appointment
of Prince Tuan as grand secretary and the
painful impression that appointment has
created throughout the country. The ef-
feet OF his appointment, If persisted in, it
is said, might be to retard seriously the
final negotiations, or, In fact, any negotia-
tions at ALL
The government feels that ii is much re-
inforced in its present position by the note
from Ii Hung Chang, in which he gave
positive assurance to the United States
| that he had sufficient authority to protect
| all American interests and would see that
| this authority was exercised. The govern
ment now looks upon this assurance as a
guarantee which must be faithfully per-
| formed as condition precedent TO even the
| establishing of relations with LII and Prince
| Ching. If the appointment of Tuan prom
/ ises in any manner to obstruct the per.
! formance of this pledge, then it would be
| clearly violative of the guarantee laid dowr
| and would warrant the immediate with
! drawal of Mr.. Conger from further rela-
| tions with the Chinese envoys. So 1t ap
pears that much depends upon what Tuar
! does than upon what he has done.
