5ANGLO.GERMAN AGREEMENT.

Causes Comment Of the French Press.
Omission Of the Name Of Russia
Thought to be Grave Error.
PARIS, Oct. 21.-!The Anglo German
agreement to maintain the territory
and integrity. Of China and to keep her
ports open to the commerce Of the
world, continues to u,onopolize public
attentioni in France, the omission OF tho
name Of Russia-accordirg to the .yer-
sion OF the agreement supplied by the
Havas agenty-being the chief subject
Of comment. The Temps says:
We can see nothing In the immediate
sense of the agreement which does not
merit appreciation. but :he elimination
Of Russias name is calculated to hurt
her feelings by showing distrust, even
supposing the Intentions Of the two
powers to be the purest.
Tits to be regretted that the word
Ing of the agreement gives an appear
ance Of hostility to an ally. The work
Of peace is not furtnered by throwing q
bomb. I'll! K
There are two important points In
the agreement. The first Is that the
second article destroys somewhat the
value of the protocols disinteredness by
reserving to the contracting parties tho
right to make eventual arrangement ac-
cording to the behaviour of third par
ty. The second point Is that, II this
specific accord indicates lasting un.'
tderstanding between Germany and
Great Britain, 1t will be, thanks to thu
sad Transvaal war, the realization Of q
favorite plan OF Lord Rosebery and Mr.,
Chamberlain and at the same time, the
starting point OF new era In interna-
tional relations"
After the foregoing and similar conf
!ments had appeared In the French press
( 1t became known that all the papera
had been put on a false scent by an err.
ror In transmitting tho text to the
agreement-the omission Of the mama Of
Russia among the names Of the powero
to whom the agreement is to be COM
municated. All the comments were
written upon the theory that the Hnva1
agency text is correct.

END OF STRIKE
THOUGHT TO BE
CLOSE ',||.J| I AT \ HAND.
Generally Believed That This Week
Will See tho Wind-up-strikerB
Do Not Openly Admit It.
CONCESSIONS WILL Be MADE
By Both sides-customers Getting to
Like Bituminous Coal-Mitchcll
Expected to Act at Once.

W1LKEsBARRE. Pa, Oct. 2l.-The
general belief here is that the coming
week will see the wind-up OF the
strike. The strikers do not admit this
openly, but 1t is the feeling that the
lockout cannot be continued much lon
ger. Both sides are expected to make
concessions.
The operators say they have none to
make, but under certain pressure. they
are expected to make them, neverthe-
less. The politicians have had tEe!r
say in the negotiations looking toward
a settlement and now the sales agents
Of the bis companies and the retail
dealers in the big cities are taking a
hand. They are writing and telegraph
ins every day to the coal companies
that unless something Is done very soon
to bring the strike to an end and an ef-
fort made to get some hard coal on the
market at salable figures the anthracite
trade will be demoralized for years to
come. and some Of 1t will be lost for
ever.
Getting to Like Bituminous Coal.
One sales agent writes:
zone OF my largest customers tells
me that consumers are getting toslikc
bituminous coal and that they think
they will keep on using It."
1t Is such reminders as these that
make the operators just as anxious to
settle the strike as the miners. But
the strikers must make the biggest con-
cesslon, and there is every reason to
believe that they will do 1t before the
week Is out. Many Of the miners out
on strike argue this way:
LET us accept the latest offer Of the
companies and settle the powder ques-
tlon later on. II we are going to re-
turn to work we are sure to get an In
crease over the wages pnid in the past,
mo matter how tho operators try to fig
uresit out, and. We can afford to blde
our time for the settlement Of the pow
der;ssue.",
Favor Holding Out.
OF course. there is some opposition to
taking this position. There are some
strikers who favor holding out until
every demand is granted. but this class
is not in the majority. They are men
who own their own homes and have
their larders we'll filled for the winter.
They can afford to hold out against
the companies. but the bulk of Tic
strikers cannot. President Mitchell is
now thoroughly acquainted with the
condition Of afiairs In the Wyoming
and Lackawannn regions, and as late
as to-day he told one OF the Luzerne
county officers of the United Mine Wor-
kers who was In Hazlcton, that he
would not stand in the way OF settle
ment II the miners Of the Wyoming re-
glon wanted to return to work under
certain conditions. Mr.. Mitchell is ex-
pected to take n decided stand to-
morrow or Tuesday on the issues that
now stand between the operators and
miners OF the upper anthracite dis
trtcfs T.r..ar

HAZLEToN. Pa. Oct. 2l.-when
President Mitchell, OF the United AIluc

what he had TO say In regard to a set

sition on the part OF the public to place

OF no good reason why the proposition
