INCREASE IN PRESSURE.
Introduction OF Pumping Station of
Advantage to AnacOstia.

Mr.. John Fitzgerald, superintendent of
construction in the District water depart
ment, has submitted to the acting engineer
commissioner, Captain D. d. Gaillard, a
report of pressures on fire hydrants in Ana
costa. The report shows that since the
pumping station was placed in operation
in Anacostia there has been a decided in
crease in such pressure.
The pumps at the station are in operation
from o'clock am. to o'clock p.m and
1T is explained that each additional pound
of pressures means an increase in the
height of the water of 40 feet

ON PINE BARRENS.
rIr. Bryan Crosses the Scrub Oak Sec

St. Paul, ssMinn., Ccto ber 1.-AIr. Bryan

pine barrens and the scrub oak portion OF
Minnesota, reaching the agricultural part
of the state north Of this city during
tie afternoon. He made the first speech
of the day at West Superior, Wis, begin
ming before O'Clock in the morning.
He Immediately crossed the ST. Louis
river to Duluth, and starting with an
hours speech there, he made speeches at
eight other places on the way which, to-
gether with the speech at Duluth and
Superior and those made tonight in this
city, made an even dozen speeches for the
day. Four of the speeches averaged an
hour in duration and the remaining
eight, Is minutes each, making about
six hours OF speechmaking all told for
the day. Mr. Bryan was accompanied
throughout the day by Gov. Lind, Victor

President Mitchell Very
Reticent.
Knows More About Matter Than
He VIII Tell.

Hazleton, Pa, October 1.-Notices of
the increase in wages and the reduction
in the price of powder decided upon by
the operators at WiIkesbarre today, were
posted tonight at all OF the coIIieries in
the Lehigh region.
Presi dent Mitchell when shown a copy
Of the notice, declined to say anything at
this time, but intimated that he might
outline his position at the Wilkesbarre
mass meeting tomorrow. He added, how
ever, that there would be no resumption
of work until convention of the an
thracite miners had been called and the
proposition considered.
Although the labor leaders positively
said they did not fear break IN the
ranks Of the anthracite coal strike, they
were nevertheless. pleased to learn tnat
the ten per cent advance granted by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company in the SchuylkilI valley was
totally ignored by the striking mine
workers today. 1t was predicted that
many of the strikers would return to
work under the belief that the 10 per
cent would be the limit of the opera
tors concessions, but the unanimity of
the men in deciding to stand out for
further advance, caused many remarks
of surprise.
1t was expected in some quarters that
today would bring a turning point in
the strike, but nothing camegto the sur
face that would lead to any indication
of the strike nearing an end, Since the
operators began to hold conferences Pres
ident Mitchell is receiving more 1nforma-
tion than formerly and giving out less.
That he knows more about the situation
than he cares to tell Is hardly doubted by
any one. He has practically admitted
that he receives advices from New York
as to the doings Of the operators. There
is lack of anything tangible on which
to base the report of an immediate set
tIement. President Mitchell continues
to deny that he knows anything about
1t.
The situation in the Lehigh valley
showed a change in favor of the men.
Several hundred men quit work at the
Calvin p ardee mines at Lattimer as the
result of persuasion on the part of 400
marching strikers and at Oneida and
Gran berry the coal companies lost addi
tional men. No cOllieries were closed
down In this region today.

Boston, October 1.-The gathering Of
the Massachusetts, Democrats at the
Quincy house, the night before the state

mony. Delegates from all sections of the
state began to arrive shortly after 8
O'Clock when the state committee went
into session, The committee on resolu-
tions, with Hon. George Fred Williams
as It's chairman, went Into executive ses-
sion early in the afte rnoon and discussed
the various planks of the platform which
had been submitted. Up to late hour
they had not completed their labors and
1t was stated that several hours more
would have to be given TO the matter
before the the platform would be ac-
cepta BILE to the members of the commit
tee. The ticket which will probably be
nominated tomorrow is as follows:

miners from 50 rs to 81. 30 per keg. The
whole situation was thoroughly dis
cussed, nearly all those present taking
part. The powder question was the chief
subject OF debate and next came the
recognition OF the union.
So far as can be learned none of the
operators were in favor of recognizing
the union in any way. This evening
W. A. Lathrop, the chairman of the
meeting, gave out the followingi
Lehigh Valley Coal Company,
Wilkesbarre, Pa, October 1, 1900.
Notice-This company makes the fol-
lowing announcement to it's mine en-
pIoyes:
1t viii adjust its rates of wages so as
to pay to it's mine employees on and after
October 1 a net increase OF. ten per cent
on wages heretofore received: and will
take up with it's mine employees any
grievances which they may have.
(Signed
W. A. Lathrop, General Superintendent.
Note-It is understood in the foregoing
that powder win be sold to miners for
$3.50 per keg and that the difference be-
tween this. rate and the old rate Of So rs
shall be taken into account In figuring
the net advance OF ten per cent noted
above for the class of labor.
Similar notices to the above will be
posted by all the other companies repre-
sented at the meeting. The strikers say
that under no circumstances Will they
accept the offer. They claim 1t is not
as good an offer as the Reading company
made to it's men.
The union is ignored and the net In
crease must come out of the price Of
powder.
E. M. Palmer. chairman OF the press
committee at United Mine Workers
headquarters, said:
1.-The men Will not return to work un-
der such conditions. 1t is not fair
Offers
The operators will make no further
move until they hear from the men.
At the United Mine Workers head
quarters this statement was given out:
''What we want is:
IA better enforcement of existing
mine laws.
''2-To obtain that which Is fully our
own, i e., the value of labor actually
performed and hitherto taken from us.
"3-To obtain the right to purchase our
implements OF labor at a fair market value
and escape from the compulsory rule
which forces us to pay to the operators
more than twice what the same materials
can be purchased for in the open market.
"4-To allow a re-adjustment OF the
wage scale that will nearly conform to
the normal conditions of the anthracite
tradezand establish as nearly as practical
BILE uniform price for each class Of
work in and around the mines"
The strikers say until these concessions
are granted and the union recog lied
they will not return to work

FROM CHINA.
Important TeIegrams Received at
Washington Yesterday.

Important Telegr0nls Received at
Washington Yesterday.
Washington. October 1.-Several I'M
portant dispatches were received today
from China. Generally they tend to con-
firm the events recorded Saturday. From
Canton Consul McWade reports the issue
OF the decree Furnishing Tuan and his col
leagues SO that there is no longer doubt
as to the accuracy of Shang's statement
on that point. Mr.. Conger has also re-
ceived official notification OF the Chinese
peace commission which was forecasted
by Minister Wu's advices several days
ago
Mr.. Conger made no reference to the
condemnatory decree, hence it is inferre q
that 1t was not issued when his despatch
was sent last Thursday. The text of
these two dispatches is as follows:
"Canton, China, October 1.
Secretary of State, Washington:
''Decrees just Issued. Emperor blames
ministers for whole trouble. Orders
Tuan, Kangi and other officials degraded
and punished by imperial courts Empe-
ror holds Tuan and others entirely re-
sponslble for bloodshed. McWade."
"Pekin, September 81, via Taku, Sep
tember 80.
Secretary OF State Washington:
"Have received notice today from
Prince Ching that he, Earl Ii, Yung Lu
and Viceroys Tin Kun VI and Chang
Chip Tung will act in concert in negot1-
ating peace. Jung Lu is in the interior.
Ii Hung Chang is at Tien Tsin.
"Conger."
1t is evident that the two viceroys men
toned are Ldu Kun vi, the viceroy of
Nankin Chang Chih Tung. the viceroy Of
Va Chang, the difference in spelling be-
ing in telegraph1c transmission. There
has been some question as to Yung Lu
being a member Of the commission, but
Mr.. Conger's report settles all doubt.
Minister WI already had received an
edict naming Yung Lu as one of the COM
mission, but this was questioned in other
Chinese quarters.
The appointment is not likely to be
satisfactory to any of the powers as Yung
Lu made himself almost as offensive as
Prince Tuan.
He is generalssimo Of the imperial troops
and is regarded as mainly responsible for
the persistent light on the legation during
the crisis. The other commissioners are
highly acceptable.

Apropos of Mr.. Seeley's report the
News tomorrow Will say editorially:
'''Ihe pressing need of Galveston is

5000 persons now homeless and to make
-hab1table the homes of many others. Some
correspondents have sent out statements
to the effect that millions of dollars have
been contributed for the relief OF Calves

amount at $15, 600, eco. The statements
have led the public, the generous, liberal

cy to check the impulse to give, because

been met But the real truth is that Gal
