AMERICAS ATTITUDE TO CHINA.
Germany Thinks This Government is
in Accord With Powers.

COLOGNE, September 24.-The Kolnische
Zeitung publishes an inspired telegram from
Berlin. in which the Washington govern
ments reply to the German note is charac-
terized as a manifest effort to assist the
Chinese government to accept the proposals
with regard to the punishment of the lead
ers in the Chinese trouble
The telegram points out that, though the
American reply shows an indulgent DISPOSE
ton, II must not be deduced therefrom that
the Washington government thinks the
United States trade and missionary inter
ests require less careful protection than
those Of the other powers, but that the
United States government is compelled to
be indulgent, owing to the unfavorabe eff
feet upon the situation in the Philippines
caused by the transfer of troops from those
islands to China.
LAS a matter of fact" the telegram adds,
"a vigorous and exemplary punishment of
the guilty counsellors of the Chinese court
will be in accordance with the interests of
both American trade and missionaries"
For settlement between the powers and
China 1t makes no difference, however, as
serts the telegram, whether America CO.
operates any further or not. Forces suff1-
cient for all emergencies will remain avail
able to secure the eXpiation demanded by
the civilized world.

GOLD MINERS QUIT WORK.
They Revolt at an Order Issued by the
Owners

VICTOR, Col, September 24-As a re-
suit of an order, designed by the manage
ment to stop thesaiieged theft of valuable
ore, Stratton's independence gold mine has
been closed. The miners declare they will
not go back while the order remains in
force, and the superintendent says the or
der will not be revoked under any circum-
stances.
Six other large companies have issued a
similar order and signed an agreement with
the Independence COMPANY to enforce It.
The order provides, that all workmen must
change their clothes, both in going on and
off shift, and pass naked before watchmen
from one dressing room to another.
The superintendent of Strattons Inde-
pence allege that the company has lost
5000 to $4,000 per month through the
peculations of workmen.

keep all the men from going into the mine.
The Lattmer mines were reported to be
tied up, but the mine officials there say
their colliery is working usual with
only fifty men short out of LOO.
Today was expected to witness either
big break among the strikers or the going
out of large additional number of mine
workers, but neither happened. Reports

Secret Service Men.
The controller Of the treasury has rem
dered decision from which it appears that
by order Of the War Department 81, 500
had been paid to A. II. Hodges and Anton
Trego for secret and confidential services
rendered in the Philippine Islands from No
vember /, 1899, to June %, 1900 in connec-
ton with the movements of the army. The
question involved was whether the itemized
statements signed by each of these parties
should be required by the disbursing officer.
The acting secretary of war in his indorse-
ment on the voucher says that 1t would be
incompatible with the public interests to
disclose the confidential nature of the serv-
ices and expenses or to file itemized vouch-
ers showing their nature.
The controller directed that the voucher
be paid in its present form.

NO CHANGE IN WYOMING VALLEY.
Operators Hope for Break In the
Strike Soon.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, September "a
The second week of the mine workers
strike finds change in the Wyoming
valley. All the colieries are idle with the
exception of the one at Mocanaqua, oper-
ated by the West End Coal Company. No
attempt was made TO resume work at any
of the mines this morning. 1t was ex-
pected that there would be trouble at a
washery operated by the Lehigh & Wilkes
barre company at Ashley, but the men who
worked there last week did not report this
morning. There was a large crowd of
iders in the vicinity, and 1t is probable
that had the men reported for work they
would have been intercepted and driven
away.
Some of the strikers gathered about No.
8 mine a South Wilkesbarre, where 1t
reported yesterday work would be resumed
today. but none of the employees appeared
and the crowd soon left
At strikers headquarters they report no
change in the situation. If anything, the

LONDON, September 24.-The afternoon

1T is a shock to find the government at
Washington taking up the position that the
question of the punishment of the Chinese
responsible for the outrage, torture and
murder of American citizens should be left
to the initiative of the murderers them
selves, for it is impossible to doubt that
the responsible authors are the imperial
authorities"

1t can have no effect on the British govern
ment, which, of course, will continue to

murderers shall be an indispensable condi-
ton precedent to the negotiations"

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Men respect women when
women respect themselves.
For one woman in the world
who goes wrong there are a
hundred who would like to.
Women don't have a moral
conception of their own about
right and wrong; they are
taught to be good, just as they
are taught to dance, to bow aud
to make their hair curly.
Men yield to temptation and
get away again just like they
jump in and out of cold plunge
because they know what they
are doing; women slide in slow
ly, wondering what it's all
about. and before they find out
it's too late to climb back.
Passion forgets always; love,
never.
There is great deal of love
without marriage, but there is
a great deal more of marriage
without love.
Unless man goes around
preaching a whole lot OF stuff
he won't practice the women
put him down for cynic.
In the first six months after
she gets married bride gives
advice to all her bachelor
friends; after that she takes il
from them.
A man can never understand
how woman can love him il
he doesn't love her; a woman
can never understand why &
man shouldn't love her just be
cause she doesn't love him.
