MINERS WAGES RAISED.

NEW YORK, Sept 21.-The Tribune
prints the following:
The Philadelphia & Reading Coal
Company yesterday decided to take a
step that probably will do a great deal
to bring the coal strike to speedy
termination. That was the determlna-
tion of the company to raise the wages
Of its employees ten per cent.
1t Is understood from advices received
from Philadelphia last night that the
advance will begin Immediately, from
this morning in fact The effect of it
upon the strike situation will be far
reaching and, according to operators
who were seen last night. 1t will tend
to undermine the strength of the whole
strike movement.
Since 1896 the output of these mines
has been restricted because of an agree
ment entered into by the operators
whereby the output Of anthracite was
divided after the manner that railroad
people do traffic, including the follow
ing percentages:
Philadelphia & Reading. 205O; Le-
high Valley, 1856; Delaware, Lackaw-
anna & Western, 1885; Central rail-

CONDITIONS IMPROVING.

GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 2i.-The
conditions at Galveston continue to
rapidly improve Every one Is so BUSY
that there Is little time to mourn over
their losses. This is doubtless fortunate
for the sufferers. for instead Of spending
their time in grieving they forget their
troubles and lend helping hand to-
ward the betterment Of existing con-
ditlons.
The number Of patients in the various
hospitals Is much smaller than would
have been expected considering the
number OF dead. This Is due to the fact
that few who were entirely helpless
succeeded in escaping alive. There are
several hundred persons who were
more or less bruised but their wounds
are rapidly healing.
The general health cf the city. accord
ing to DR.. Wilkinson. Is better than
under normal conditions The number
Of people leaving the city Is decreasing
and there is no longer any necessity
for sick and injured to go elsewhere for
medical attention.

II viii be seen by these figures that
the Philadelphia & Reading obtained
BY far the greatest proportion Of the
OUTPUT and. with the removal OF the
restriction which was imposed by the
agreement In question. It was admit
ted by dealers In this city that the
Reading Company could easily supply
at least 20 per cent OF the coal FOR
necessary requirements for this and
other cities.
II is said by those conversant with
the exciting situation that the Reading
Company win not hesitate 10 break the
agreement In point Of fact the opin-
ion is expressed that operators whose
mines are closed down are willing
that che arrangement for The time be-
ing should be set aside and are even
parties 20 the policy Of wage Increase
which has been decided on.
The motive which lncites this atti-
tude. according to report. Is that the
operators who are mostly involved In
the strike are imbued with the idea
that the Readings output. supplements
ed as II win be by large quantities OF
coal from other mines not yet shut
down. VIII serve 10 avert any really
marked coal famine and that thereby
the knowledge win be impressed up1n
the strikers that the anticipated scar
city Of fuel and consequent public suf-
ferinR will fail Of realization.
In making the ten per cent advance
in wages. the officials Of the Reading
Company do not take the ground that II
Is a submission 10 the demands OF
the workers. The employees Of this
company are paid on what Is known
as the sliding scale. or. in other words.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2i.-The Unit

and complete answers 10 the various
important inquiries that have been Ad-
dressed 10 Il by the powers relative
20 the Chinese trouble.
Moreover q has gone farther and has
made disclosure OF all its purposes and.

table.
Minister wu called upon Acting Sec

dun embodying the response Of the
United States government 10 the re-
quest OF Prince Ching that Mr. Con-
I ger or some other person be lmmedl-
ately empowered TO begin negotiations
with the Chinese authorities for final
settlement.
The minister came away with a dis
satisfied expression upon his face.
Next came NJ. Thlebaut. the French
charge. \ few minutes conversation
sufiiced 10 lmpart 20 him orally an an
swer 10 his verbal inquiry.
Then Baron Sternherg. the German
charge who had been notified Of the
readiness OF the state department to
make an answer TO the German note,
called and was given that answer
The department then sent an an
swer 20 the Russian inquiry forward

ground that to do so would be a vio-
lation OF the diplomatic proprieties.
However, II was promised that the
text OF the communications should be
given TO the press tomorrow.
II Is known that the German propos-
al that hegotiations with China be de-
ferred until the Chinese responsible
for the Pekin outrages have been sur
rendered 10 the allies has failed of
approval by our government. The de-
cllnaWon has been conveyed In a man
ner that caunOt give offense but Il Is
believed that the United States gov
ernment cannot recognize the principle
that our country may be called upon
TO surrender its own citizens
to a foreign power or powers for
punishment.
The idea OF commission to adjust
differences with China Is again brought
forward. and Il Is suggested that the
commission on the part Of the United
States may either form part OF Joint
international commission which II is
hoped will be appointed for this pur-
pose. or In the event Of n failure OF
the effort to secure joint action. then
the members can so on and deal di- |
rectly with China for settlement
IL Is believed that the outcome from |
a military point Of view, of today's ac- |
tion, viii be the withdrawal OF all but |
one regiment Of American troops from |
China TO Manila where they can be |
held ready to return in an emergency. |
