UNITED STATES AssENTS.

Concurrcd IN by State Department.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The state
department yesterday made public the
correspondence which has taken place
between itself and the French govern
ment since the original French note
respecting China, which laid down the
terms suggested by France as a basis
of negotiation for a settlement. This
last correspondence consists of two
notes exchanged between Secretary
Hay and NJ Thiebaut last week, put
ting IN formal shape a certain verbal
statement of Importance respecting the
negotiations begun.
An interesting and important fea.
ture of the United States note is the
suggestion that the powers bind
themselves again to preserve Chinese
territorial integrity, and to maintain
the "open door"-exactly the objects
aimed at in the British German agree
ment or alliance which was made pub
lie last week.
While this note by Secretary Hay
bears date of Oct. 10 and the British
German agreement is assigned the date
of Oct. 16, the action Of this govern
ment was taken in ignorance Of the
agreement and it IS entirely possible
that it may have been the means of
bringing about a disclosure Of its pur-
pose. Our suggestion indicates a fa-
vorable response by the United States
government to the invitation to join
with Great Britain and Germany in the
objects specified.

MANlACS BREAK LOOSE.
Seven Escape During Revolt at the
Mattenwan Insane Asylum.

POUGHKEEPSIE oct. %. - There
was revolt at the Matteawan state
hospital for the criminal insane at
half past o'clock last night when
six or eight keepers were assaulted and
overpowered by about 20 insane pat
tents. Some OF the patients escaped
and seven are still at large. One or
two of the keepers are badly bruised as
a result of the assault.
The revolt, II is thought, was caused
directly by the cramped quarters at
the hospital. DR.. Henry E. Allison,
medical superintendent OF the institu-
tion, said last night: 1--WE are very
much overcrowded here and have been
for a long time. We have found 1t
absolutely necessary to compel some
200 or more patients to sleep on blank
cts on the floor in one Of the corridors.
Our quarters are so inadequate that
we have to send some of the attendants
and keepers to Matteawan and Fish
kill to sleep during the night because
we have no room for them. The seven
patients who escaped are of course
dangerous patients, as. all of our pa
tients are, but l do not think that they
will commit any depredations while at
large. They will naturally run to some
vacant buildings or into the woods to
prevent being captured"

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. PA meeting
of the presidents of the Scranton local
unions of the United Mine Workers was
held yesterday to discuss the advis-
ability Of taking aggressive steps to-
wards closing up the washeres. After
carefully canvassing the situation it
was decided to let the matter rest for
a while. NSx&EE
The fact is that the end of the strike
Is generally believed to be at hand,
impelled the meeting to refrain from
making this move which is generally
conceded would be attended with the
possibility Of disorder and which would
have q tendency to Co more harm to
the cause than the operation of the
washeries.
The general situation was also dis
cussed and one of the presidents at
the conclusion Of the meeting stated
that in his judgment the men would
be perfectly satisfied to accept the 10
per cent offer with the powder clause
included.
Organizer Fred Dlcher does not talk
this way. however. He says the con-
vention demanded a straight 10 per
cent advance with the powder ques-
ton left for future adjustment and
that until this demand is compiled with
to the very letter, the officers have no
authority to call off the strike.

BRIGHTER PROSPECTS.
President Mitchell Issues an
Important Statement.

Practically Admits That the Anthracite
Coal Strike VIII End When All tho
Operators Post Notices of 10 Per Cent
Increase and Abolition OF tho Sliding
Scale.
SHAMOKIN, Pa. Oct. 2S.-For the
hrst time since the anthracite coal
strike began a public appeal for aid
was made here yesterday by a commit
tee calling on the business men and
collecting money and provisions for
Impoverished families of strikers.
HAZLETON, Oct. %. - President
Mitchell, in an interview last night,
practically admitted that the anthra-
cite coal miners strike would end as
soon as all the operators posted a no.
tice guaranteeing the payment of 10
per cent advance In wages until April l.
President Mitchell said: THE pros
pect of an early settlement OF the coal
srtlke Is becoming brighter. Some of
the operators have not yet posted no
tlces signfying their willingness TO fall
In line either with the Reading COM
pany or with the proposition made by
the Lehigh Valley company in the Ha-
zleton region. If all of them notify
their employees by posting notices or
otherwise that an actual advance of 10
per cent will be paid each mine en-
ploye and guarantee It's continuance
until April l, together with the aboli-
tion of the sliding scale, ! believe that
the terms would be accepted by the
mine workers.
"The reduction in powder from S275
to $3.50 has confused the miners, but
some Of the operators have so fully eX-
plained how contract miners could re-
ceivo the full advance of 10 per cent as
well as all other employees that be-
lleve this obstacle can be overcome
Although as President Mitchell says,
the outlook for an early settlement Of
the strike Is bright, 1t is difficult to
make a prediction as 10 when the end
will come. Some of the coal compa-
MES are showing a disposition not to
issue a second notice guaranteeing the
payment of the 10 per cent increase in
wages untii April. Among these are
AlAt DGldNdItt lfdGhtAN anna anu w Gol-
ern and the Delaware and Hudson, the
officials of which companies are report
ed to have declined to issue a supple
mental notice. The other leaders. how
ever, hope that the companies will in
some way make known that they will
guarantee the payment OF the advance
until April l.
As soon as all the notices guaran-
toeing the payment of the advance un-
til April / are posted President Mitchell
will call a meeting Of the national ex-
ecutive board, at which II IS believed
the strike will be declared Off.
The largest labor demonstration ever
held In this city took place yesterday,
when nearly 1900 miners paraded the
In a carriage at their head

an enthusiastic ovation all along the

accompanied by their families came to
