WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-The statement
from Japan that the Chinese Emperor has
issued edict establishing his capital at
Si-Nan instead of Peking does not surprise
those who have kept close watch on re-
cent Developments in China. According to
Chinese reasoning the imperial palace at
Peking was desecrated by the parade
through it OF the troops of the foreign pow
ers- Perhaps Kwang-Su finds more po-
tent reason for changing his capital TO a
more remote spot in the hope that his new
capital may prove inaccessible to the forces
of the powers in the event OF future trouble
with them, though this hope might fail
him If the powers should find it necessary
TO proceed in force to the new capital. This
view OF the situation may impress itself
upon the Emperor and determine him to
return TO Peking.
If. however. he persists in maintaining
his capital at Si-Nan, hundreds of miles
west of Peking and far in the interior. it
might make the maintenance of legation
guards there a necessary precaution by the
powers whose ministers would reside at
that distant point
this edict lacks confirmation, and, even If
confirmed. 1t may prove TO be only ORR
entail bluff by the willy Chinese.

NOT WHOLLY APPROVED.
French Note Is Being Considered by
the State OmciaIs.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The American
answer TO the French note, which is the
pending phase OF the Chinese negotiations
to be disposed of. has been pretty well de-
fined, although it will remain for the re-
turn of the President and a meeting OF the
Cabinet TO give the answer formal definite
ly. Already, however. intimations have
been conveyed TO some Of the foreign rep
resentatives that this government may not
be able to concur in the interdiction Of the
import OF arms into China, and also, that
there may be serious constitutional reasons
recurring at least two OF the French pro-
posaIs TO be submitted to the American
Congress before they can be acted on af-
frmatively.
These two latter propositions relate to
the establishment OF a permanent legation
guard at Peking, and TO the permanent
maintenance OF a line OF communication
from Peking TO the sea. The permanency
OF these plans appears TO involve a possi-
bility OF territorial occupation, though Of
limited character. both at Peking and
along the road from Peking TO the sea,
and ii is understood that. even IL these
moves were regarded with favor by the
executive branch, there would be consti-
tutionai reasons making IL desirable to sub
rait them TO Congress. This idea has been
put forward only in a tentative way. as
indicating TO foreign representatives some
OF the questions which will have to be
taken into account in giving an answer to
the French note.
The document Is not regarded, however,
as one which must be accepted or rejected
as a whole. The efforts of NJ. Delcasse
TO secure a basis of settlement are fully
appreciated by the officials here. and this
view doubtless will find expression IN the
American answer.

Mitchell Addresses Mass Meetings and
Reviews Long Parades of the
Striking Coal Diggers.
MORE MINES ARE SHUT DOWN
GREAT MARCH OF STRIKERS CLOSES
THE LATTIMER PITS.
Collision Imminent, but Fortunately
Women-The Days Movements.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. s-President
Mitchell has at last announced his inten-
tion to call convention of miners to decide
what action shall be taken in regard to the
operators offer of 10 per cent. increase
in wages. He made the announcement to-
day in a speech at the miners mass meet
call in a few days.
The belief is general that the men will
give a majority vote in favor OF accepting
the concessions made by the operators,
which include a reduction in the price of
powder to the miners as well as increased
pay for all mine workers. The date and
place of holding the convention will be de-
cided upon at Hazleton tomorrow by Pres
ident Mitchell and other officials OF the
United Mine Workers. The question of the
number OF convention delegates to be al
lotted the local branches will also then be
disposed OF.
President Mitchell addressed largely at
tended mass meetings and reviewed long
parades Of miners also at Shenandoah this
afternoon and at Mount Carmel tonight.
More collieries were closed to-day. the
most important being the mines of Calvin

nounced that work would be suspended at
the mines until further notice, because. as
he said, the authorities did not afford suf
ficient protection to his employees from in
timidation by marching mobs Of strikers
and he therefore would cease work to pre-
vent injury to property and possible loss Of
life. Many hundreds of strikers. accom-
panied by women, marched to the Lattimer
mines this morning, and though they did
not attack the workmen or commit any
violence, they marched back and forth on
the public road near the mines In such a
menacing manner that the Pardee employees
feared attack should they emerge from
their homes to go to work. In this way
the strikers effectually prevented the start
ing Of operations, and Mr.. Pardees decision
to close the mine followed.
Quietness prevailed in the other sections
of the coal region.
The Delaware & Hudson Company to-
day joined with the other operators and
posted notices Offering the 10 per cent. in
crease. The Pennsylvania Coal Company
is the only other large operator that has
not posted the notices, but President
Thorne has been quoted as saying his COM
pany will agree to whatever the others do.

Demonstration Successful in Tying
Up Mines without Trouble.

HAZLETON, Pa. Oct 6.-Nearly 1000
strikers, with fifty women and girls,
marched into Lattimer early this morn
ing and completely tied up the two col
lieries of Calvin Pardee & Co. located at
that place. 1t was the greatest march
that has taken place during the present
strike. The crowd was made up OF
strikers from McAdoo, Audrain, Evansville
and Hazleton, on the south side. and from
Hsrwood, Jeddo, Freeland and Upper Le-
high on the north side. The women and
girls came from the now famous borough
of McAdoo.
Sheriff Hardy and handful of deputies
were at Lattimer when the strikers ar
rived and they kept the marchers con-
stantly on the move. There was no dis
turbance at any time. the men and women
being well behaved.
1t was the most exciting day that Iatti-
mer has had since the tragedy OF three
years ego. The strikers from the south
side concentrated on the back road to the
place. They had left their homes at mid
night The women, including Mother"
Jones, were conveyed in wagons, while the
men walked. 1t was a little before 6
o'clock when the 1000 south-side men en-
tered Lattimer. headed by a fife and drum
corps and the women. The leader of the
women. who was a pretty Polish girl, car
ried large American flag They marched
and countermarched on the Lattimer pub
lie road until a. m. when the whistle
blew for the starting of working at the
collieries. A shout went up from the
crowd as it saw that no one responded to
the call.
Shortly after this faint cheer was heard
in the distance. and suddenly q crowd

strippings and joined the south side force

deputies in 1897. While tn, men were run-

wILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 6.--Sheriff
Harvey came to wilkesbarre from Halle
ton this afternoon. His story Of the Lat
timer affair this morning is as follows:
.At 4 o'clock this morning I had half
dozen deputies at Lattimer. Shortly after
that hour we heard In the distance the
tramp of many feet, and occasionally the
rumble of wagon wheels. Listening. we
could hear the tramp. tramp in other direc-
tions.
I'm the dim light we saw rounding
curve in the road several hundred men.
They were unarmed and seemed peaceful.
From the woods came another several hun
dred and from another direction came nine
wagon loads of women. Entering the other
end of the town we saw what appeared to
be a thousand strikers and simultaneously
all these bands met in the center of the
town. They did not stop there, but con-
tinued marching in opposite directions up
and down the main streets. AS soon as
one band marched TO an extreme end of
town it would countermarch, the other
bands acting in similar manner, and by
that means, for nearly two hours, they oc-
cupied the streets in files of eight and
twelve.
II was utterly Impossible Tor any one
to cross the street or pass through this
compact mass of moving humanity. 1t
was complete mobilization and we could
only stand and look on. Passing the COM
pany barn, the drivers were unable to get
out the mules. The frightened occupants
of the company houses did not attempt to
pass out to work or anywhere else
1.-The marching was continued until
after o'clock, when the hundreds of
strikers, having accomplished their object,
withdrew as silently as they came They
had closed the Lattirner mines, for when
the whistle sounded there was no response
from the employees.
When the town was again deserted and
peace restored we retired to headquarters

for troops. That question is too leading.
