PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 3-There
were no developments OF special impor-
tance to-day In the miners strike. An
interesting feature was the Reading Com
pany's notice to it's employees that, in addi-
ton TO Its offer of 10 per cent. increase,
1t was willing to enter into arbitration with
them relative to any grievances they may
have. None of the strikers, however has
yet indicated an intention to return to
work.
Affairs were extremely quiet to-day
throughout the anthracite region. General
Goblin. in command of the state troops re-
Gently sent to Schuylkill county on request
from the sheriff. to-day directed another
of the regiments to return home tomorrow.
One regiment left on Monday. There now
remains but one regiment, battery OF ar
tillery and company Of mounted troops.
A rumor gained wide circulation to-day
that President Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, had been in conference with the
presidents of the coal-carrying railroads,
and agreed on a settlement of the strike.
When informed of the rumor Mr.. Mitchell
promptly denied it, and said he had not
been in conference with either railroad Of
q
notice to the miners that the report that
an agreement to end the strike had been
reached was untrue. He further notified
them that there would be no settlement of
the strike until the miners themselves in
convention decided to go back to work. A
secret conference of the leading officials of
the miners organization was held at-Haz,s-
ton. At its conclusion President Mitchell
said the question of calling joint conven-
ton had not been considered. He added
that out of l42.OoO mine workers only about
5000, are at work. and these, he said, would
be out in short time.
The time limit of the Lackawanna Com
pany's offer Of increased wages will ex-
pire tomorrow, but strikers generally ex-
press their determination to pay no heed
to the offer.

FIGURES FOR ARKANSAS
CENSUS RETURNS SHOW A VERY
SLOW RATE OF GROWTH.
Gain Il Only 1928 Per Cent. for the
Decnde-Daily Statement of the
Treasury's Condition.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The Census
Bureau to-day published the returns for
the State of Arkansas, giving the popula-
ton by counties, townships and all incor-
porated towns. The population of the State
in 1900 is 1,311 564. as against 1.12Sl79 in $780,
representing an increase since 1890 Of
1S3. .3S5 or 1926 per cent This rate of in
crease is only about two-fifths of that Of
the decade from 1880 to $780, when it was
4O5S per cent, and less than one-fourth of
that for the decade from 1870 to $780, when
it was 6565 per cent. From 1860 to 1870 there
was an increase of only 1f.26 per cent, but
prior to 1860 the population more than
doubled itself during each decade, and for
the decade from 1880 to 1910 showed an in
crease of 221.09 per cent. The population
of Arkansas in 1900 is more than ninety
times as large as the population given for
1920, the first census taken after it's or
ganization as a Territory in 1919. The total
land surface of Arkansas Is approximately
5S.0I5 square miles, the average number of
persons to a square mile at the census Of
1890 and 1900 being as follows: 1890. 21.27;

ZELAYA SEEKS TROUBLE
HE AND CASTRO ARE CONsPIRING
AGAINST COLOMBIA.
.Patents of Nobility" I'm Central and
South America-ROster OF the
Militia of Nicaragua.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua. Sept. 2O.-The
Nicaraguan Congress is absorbed at the
present In the work of enacting laws and
passing resolutions authorizing the Presi-
dent of this country TO decorate President
Castro. of Venezuela, with the title and
honors of major general of the army or
Nicaragua This is a reciprocity affair.
and is declared to be In consideration OF
the fact that only a few months ago
President Castro conferred on President
Zelaya honorary membership In the high
est order of honorary distinction conferred
by Venezuela on some of her great men,
also that honorary membership was con-
ferred on Senior Fernando Sanchez, Presi-
dent Zelaya's minister of foreign relations,
and that President Castro sent to the two
recipients, with the nobility patents, re-
galias in purple and gold.
However, 1t is claimed that the true
cause Of these decorations from President
Castro is the fact that in March Of the
present year, when revolution was in
progress in Colombia against the govern
ment, President Zelaya permitted a vessel
to leave Corinto. Nicaragua, for the De-
partment Of Panama, loaded with Colon
bian revolutionists and rifles, cannons and
munitions of war, in an endeavor to over
throw the government on the isthmus.
That expedition came very near being sue
cessful but the revolutionists were finally
defeated and captured. In recognition OF
the expedition. II is alleged. and before
| the defeat of the filibusters from Nicara-
qua. then at peace with Colombia, Presi-
dent Castro sent the decorations to Presi-
dent Zelaya and Minister Sanchez. the two
presidents. it is pointed out. being of the
came political faith and in sympathy with
the revolutionists in Colombia.
What action Colombia will take in regard
| to the alleged attempts by the presidents
of Nicaragua and Venezuela to destroy her
| legitimate government, In case she over
comes the revolutionists. remains to be
seen.
General j. b. Saenz, Nicaragua's minister

Special to the Indianapolis JoVrnsl-
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The wisdom of
the attitude assumed by this government
toward China receives additional confirma-
tion from the fact that the German gov
ernment has indicated it viii submit a
new general proposition in regard to the
settlement OF the Chinese trouble. 1t is
understood that this proposal will take the
place of Won Buelow's intent to make the
punishment of the riPsIeaders Of the anti
foreign element condition precedent to
the beginning of treaty conditions.
IL Germany moderates its proposals it
will show a gratifying desire to preserve
harmony among the powers. and thus as
sure concerted action by them in settling
ehina's future. This will be all the more
gratifying because a modification of Won
Buslows original proposition cannot but
be attended with some measure Of chagrin.
Just what Germany will propose is not gen.
orally known, and may not be for some
days.
prohibition of imports of firearms and am
munition into China. the razing Of the
Notifications between Peking and the sea,
and the maintenance of legation guards
has been officially communicated to the
State Department and transmitted by Sec
retary Hay to President Mckinley, at Can
ton. for his consideration and action.
Since the return of Secretary Hay he
has had several conferences with Baron
Speck Won Sternberg, the German charge
d'affaires. which have been of such char
anter as to show that the two governments
are now proceeding toward a common end
for the solution OF the entire difficulty.
The Berlin government received several
days ago. the Sheng dispatch giving the
Chinese edict commanding the punishment
OF Prince Tuan and his associates. This
was accepted in the highest German quar-
ters as sure evidence that China was dis
posed now TO deal with the responsible
parties as their offenses deserved, making
q peaceful solution of the problem possible.
Altogether the outlook is more satisfactory
than at any time heretofore not only for
concurrent action by the powers, but also
for comprehensive settlement of the en-
tire Chinese question.
1t is expected. however, that the atten-
tion OF this government will be turned
within the next few days to some entirely
new phases. brought up by the French note
to the powers. In this regard there Is
reason to believe that some OF the conti-
mental powers do not view all of the French
proposals with favor. So far as this gov
ernment Is concerned, however, there Is
no reason to believe the French proposi-
tions will meet with disfavor.
Meantime plans are under consideration
BY which the powers will see that China
carries out her purposes OF furnishing the
guilty parties 1t is felt to be proper that
the punishment shall be carried out I'm such
public manner, and with the knowledge of
the foreign ministers and in their presence.
20 that there can be no question of the
completeness OF China's reparation

Continuing his speech. Senator Fair
banks said OF the ratification OF the treaty

In it, 1.-The debate against the ratifcauon
of the treaty was protracted. The charge
was made by the opponents or the treaty
that is was without constitutional war
rant, and that there had not been secured
the consent of the Filipinos. 1t seemed Tor
time that the treaty would be rejected.
When the hour for ratification vas at hand
did Mr.. Bryan come down to Washington
to oppose the treaty? No, 10 secure It's
ratification. The treaty was ratified by
one majority. The treaty was ratined py
the potential assistance of William j.
Bryan. Senator Hoar, who was strongly
opposed TO ratification. says that before
Mr. Bryan came to Washington. seventeen
Democratic voters were opposed TO II, but
when the final vote was taken the entire
seventeen. except four or five, were re-
corded in its favor.
He then quoted the utterance or MT
Bryan. at Indianapolis. regarding i'm
perialism, and said: WAS there ever an
utterance more monstrous than this? Upon
his own confession he ratified a treaty that
bore in it's breast. in its very heart the
seeds of imperialism, in order TO present
the issue of imperialism to the American
people Remember, the treaty was ratified
by one vote, and a word from Mr.. Bryan
and 1t was rejected. 1 have come to ad-

as will justify US IN calling general con-
vention,' is regarded as rather significant,
and as an indication that the struggle
will not be short one. if the vast num-
Der of idle men can be kept under control
by their leaders. There are however.
those who believe that some sort of set
tiement is near at hand, but there is moth
ing on the surface on which such belief
can be based. President Mitchell and the
members of the national executive board
are credited with knowing a great deal
more about the intention OF the operators
than they care to reveal, and that they
are simply waiting for them to again make
move.
The strike situation in the Lehigh valley,
as far as the number of men on strike is
concerned remains the same. One hun
dred strikers marched from Millersville TO
Lattimer, and about twenty-five tramped
10 Cranberry from Crystal Ridge for the
purpose OF inducing the mine workers at
those places to quit, but they met with lit
tie success. The question OF relief is now
receiving serious consideration by the
United Mine Workers officials.
w. B. Farley. of Alabama, George Pur-
Benjamin James, of PENNSYLVANIA, men,
bers of the executive board, held private
conference at noon to-day. The questions
which were under discussion have not yet
been made known, but il is believed they
relate to relief measures. Contrary to the
general impression. the striking mine work
ers will not be given cash in the way of
relief, but will be provided by the union
with provisions and clothing for every
member of each family needing assistance.
1t is believed the plans adopted will pro-
vide for the establishment of supply depots

union officials, where the needy men can
be provided for on application.

morning to blow up with dynamite the

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3-The State De-
partment has been making some inquiries
rs TO the extent to which Jung Lu, one
OF the peace negotiators appointed by the
Emperor. participated in the Boxer
troubles. 1t is believed these inquiries

able to the acceptance OF Jung Lu, whose
tendencies have been anti-foreign, as a
satisfactory person with whom 10 conduct
negotiations. A rather guarded statement
Is made that this government has not
formally objected" TO Jung LUIS appoint

that It's preference is against him being so
honored.
