GAINS BY STRIKERS.

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 27.-Today's developments in the strike situation in this region showed important gains on the part of the mine workers. Two big collieries in the Ashland district con- trolled by the Philadelphia and Read ing Coal and Iron company were com pelled to close down, and third is worked with a crippled force.
 The Locust Springs colliery at Locust Gap, nine miles from Ashland. was un- able to work owing to the small number of men who reported. This colIiery or dinarily employs about 1900 men and boys. The Bast colliery, at Big Mine Run, is worl1td with a small force. It is estimated that 1,5OO men are em- ployed at these two mines.

London, Sept. 2S.-The only dispatch of special interest from China last night is the following from pr. Nor rson to the Times, dated PeSin, Sep tember 21: "The recent punitive eXpe ditions have had an excellent effect, increasing security and facilitating the entry of supplies. but nothing can be counted as effective until Pao Tang Flu has been razed and the foreigners and refugees at Cheng Ting and other places known to the generals are res cued.
 M. DeGiers has addressed a me morial to the empress dowager, offer ing her the protection Of the Russians and requesting her to return to Pekin. Forty Of the chief Chinese officials have sent a memorial to the emperor and empress dowager beseeching them to return"

AMERICAN BANK FRS.
lT1he Annual Convention at Richmond
 Next Week.

Richmond. Va, Sept. 27.-The local committee in charge of the arrange menth for the annual convention of the American Bankers association to be held in Richmond next week has com- pleted its work and everything indi- cates one of the most successful gath erings in the history of the well known association. The sessions will be held in the roof garden of the Hotel Jeffer- son.
 Governor Tyler will welcome the visi- tors and President Walker Hill of St. Louis will embody a response to the greetings in his annual address. Other important features of the convention will be the report of Chairman Myron T. Herrick, of the executive committee and the report of the committee on uni form laws to be presented by Frank w. Tracy. The second days session will be rendered notable by an address on '"The Treasury and the Money Mar ket," to be delivered by Ellis H. Rob- erts, treasurer of the United States.

league causes a revival of speculation concerning the probable makeup of tine circuit for next season. Nothing off cial is forthcoming from the league headquarters in this city, but if a prevalent rumOr is to be credited there is likely to be come important changes made before the race for the pennant begins next spring. The difficulties be- tween President Johnson and Manager Burns of Detroit have apparently been patched up, and the probabilities are that the Tigers will again be seen in the league circuit next season. The chances of Minneapolis, however. are not SO bright. according to the gossip of the fans who are willing to wager that another city will wear the millers' uniforms. There is the usual rumor to the effect that Toronto will endeavor to break into the circuit, but the proba- bilities are that if but one change is made the prize will fall to Louisville.

managers are positive in their view of the situation. Senator Shoup said:
 "Either I will be reelected to the United States senate or the legislature will be of such. political complexion that l will dictate as to who my sue cessor shall be. We have every reason to believe from positive knowledge of conditions throughout the state that the republicans will be victorious on national and state issues. The silver republicans so far as they constitute opposition to the regular republican ticket have disappeared from view. In counties where four years ago they had strong organizations there is now no gether. for it would be useless, as they have all announced their intention of voting for the republican electors. Many of the populists, especially those who were republicans prior to 1896, have lost all interest in the populist party and have expressed their intention of once more voting the republican ticket MT. Bryan received in 1896 over IS per cent of the total vote of the state. and We went so far in 1898 as to reduce the percentage of the vote received by the fusion candidate for governor to AS per cent, there being enough scattering votes to reduce the republican poll to 8 per cent. I believe the republicans will carry Idaho by a majority ranging anywhere from 2,OOO to 5000 This be- lief is based upon accurate report and personal knowledge of the situation, and not merely upon our hopes"

THE LAST PORTABILITY
Certificates of the Two Democratic
 Nominations Filed.

If there was a lingering ray of hope Illuminating either the Smith or Will son camp that either of the two demo- cratic candidates for delegates would quit the fight. it was turnei off vester- day forenoon. A certificate of the nom ination of Mir. Smith was filed with the secretary of the territory and soon after a second certificate of Wilson's nominal tion was filed. The first one was filed on the evening of the convention hut it was afterward found that that was premature. This is taken to mean that both candidates have burned their bridges; that they have quit bluffing. if they had been at any time engaging in it.
 The rank and file of the party. and more particularly the county candi- dates. believed, or perhaps, only wished that they could believe that at the last moment one or the other would quit. No doubt both COlonei Wilson and MT. Smith shared this belief, but the filing of the two certificates means that the last moment had arrived and each dispaired of the other giving up.
 The friends of each say that surren- der is impossible. | would be q lying down upon their respective factions, thereby making an admission of wrong in the convention. Both the 'andidates believe it is better to be right than to be delegate and it is especially better for each to insist that he is right than to admit that he is wrong, thereby sur rendering the last hope of being dele gate.
 The democratic county central com mittee has determined upon the posi- ton of the county ticket on the of ficial ballot. Though a majority of the candidates are Wilson sympathizers, the committee itself is for Smith. Not withstanding this circumstance the committee hesitated , in making a choice. fearing that the ticket would suffer. There was d possibility all the time until yesterday that one of the two candidates would withdraw, and if he did not it was thought that the county ticket might be put under the name of each. But the committee has learned what it ought to have known by instinct, that no name may appear twice on the official ballot So a choice becomes necessary and the ticket in this county will go under the name of Smith and the vignette. the silver dol ! lar. In other counties, in which the Wilson forces predominate. the county ticket will be put under the ZIG to r vignette.
 MT. Smith, who has been in Los An geles since the convention, will return . to Phoenix tomorrow morning and his campaign will begin early next week. . Colonel Wilson has been ready all . along to begin his campaign, but de- clined to take any advantage of his col league. They are going to start from the scratch.

INVOLVED IN SECRECY
Powerful Political Influences Are Re ported to be at Work to Bring About an Amicable Settlement. Operators Willing to Grant an Increase Without Recognition of the United Mine Workers.

Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-Tha towering feature of the coal strike situation and one which attracted the attention of all interests involved. was a widely cir culated report that negotiations are pending and rapidly nearing completion for an amfcable settlement of the strike. While the identity of the per son or persons who are said to be at work endeavoring to bring about an immediate and peaceful adjustment of the differences between employees and employers has not ben disclosed. it was openly admitted in authoritative circles that such an endeavor was in pro- gress.
 President Truesdale of the Lacka- wanna is quoted as making such ad- mission. But in what manner or by whom they are being conducted, he declined to state. From Scranton to- night came a statement that at a con- ference of coal operators of that sec tion the opinion was prevalent tta. the influences at work were of a strong po- lItical nature and that the operators would be obliged to offer the men at least concessions of an increase in wages.
 The information upon which the op- orators based their conclusion that the working influences were political could not be learned tonight. Coupled with nearly all reports of a probably early settlement of the trouble came the an- nouncement that the men would be of fered an increase of pay, but that the mine owners would positively decline to arbitrate the differences through President Mitchell or in any manner give recognition to the United Mine Workers.

He advocated the low tariff in agricultural products and utterly re- fused to discriminate in favor of the products of the west and middle west.
 Tn his platform k5 indirectly as sailed protection as follows. Tariff laws should be amended by putting the products of trusts upol, Iae free lists. He condemns the DingIey tar if law as a trust breeding measure. sllilfully devised, etc. So Mir Bryan. without apology for the past, stands upon a series of platforms, all squint- ing in the direction of free trade Let the agriculturist take the prices of his products in 1896 and compare them with the present prices of commodities: lat the labOring man take the prices of his labor in 1896, and then the price in 1900, and then take the table of imports of foreign manufactured goods in 1896 and then table of imports of the same goods now, and they will discover that the present advantage. now accruing to them comes directly from the tariff law now on the s5atute books of the United States.
 The laboring man cannot without inconsistency vote for Bryan. There is no man in the United States Who has done more to break down the interests of labor by promoting unfair and un- just competition than has William J. Bryan of Nebraska"

WILL PROCEED ALONE
If the Powers Want to Join in the Negotiations They Are at Liberty to Do So-The Text of the Instruc. tions to the Minister Will Not Be Immediately Made Public. The Dowager Invited Back.

Washington. Sept. 27.-Minister Con- ger has been advised by the state de- partment of the substance of the re- plies made by this government to those of Germany, Russia and China respect ing China, which clearly indicateto him the general nature of the instructions he is to receive. Moreover, by this time he is informed of the orders is sued to General Chaffee to reduce his force to a legation guard.
 The note to China specifically point- ed out the lines on which this gov ernment will issue its instructions to its ministers. The document is in course of final approval, Acting Secretary Hill having composed the draft some days ago and forwarded it to the pres ident. It was the belfef at the state department late this afternoon that the actual transmission of instructions would be carried out very soon, prob ably within the next twelve hours. It 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 in the three notes.
 In this connection 1t Is said at the state department, that MT. Conger will put these negotiations in motion with out any purpose Of acting for any gov ernment other than the United States, although the gnverrGlent steadily keeps in mind that the United States is but one of several nations mutually inter- ested In obtain;ng a common end and 1t is hoped that the effect of MT. Con- gers making beginning toward ne gotiations may induce the other powers to follow.

BRYAN AND LABOR

Grosvenor Recalls His Record as a Free Trader For Whom the Labor ing Men of the Country Cannot Consistently Vote.

Washington. Sept 27.- Governor Grcsvenor of Ohio calls the attention of the laboring man to the effect of Mr. Bryan's eIectioa on American labor.
 He said today: There is danger that the people of this country may lose sight of the fact that ;ha election of Mr. Bryan means the over throw of the protective tariff system and the intro ductiCn of free trade programme into the policy of the govrnment. In the debates on the Manila bill MT. Bryan took the extreme free trade ground. lie announced himself as in favor of abso- lute free trade in many of the leading products of the farm, notably wool, which he he insisted should be put on the free list.
 Tt was Bryan who favored the in troductiOn of foreign material into this country free of charge. It was Bryan who demanded that all raw material. such as wool, coal, iron and everything which entered into the manufacture of goods. should be imported free. and it was his influence more than any other mans. which brought about the sub sequent terrible result.
 In his demand that wool be put on the free list, he declared that he did not care whether it benefited or hurt the wool growers. Bryan drove the tariff on coal down to such an extent as to

A TEN PER CENT INCREASE.

Hazleton, Pa. Sept. 27.-Tha Asso- cialted Press at 10 o'clock tonight se- cured from President Mitchell an ad- mission that he believes that the mine operators have agreed to make the striking mine workers an offer of 10 per cent increase in wages. Further than this MT. Mitchell declined to talk. He has been reticent on the subject all day and several times declared that he knew nothing of the rumor-s of a set clement of the strike.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The assertion the United States in rejecting the Ger man proposition relative to the surren- der of guilty Chinese officials, directly inspired the empress dowager to ap- point Yuan grand secretary, is dis proved by the fact that Tuans appoint ment preceded the publication of Am eriCas note.
