Stabbing ARRAY Near Masscna.

Atlantic, Oct. 1S.-A cutting affray
occurred near Massena and is now
engaging the attention of the grand
jury. AS result, one boy, Ezra Por-
ter, received q bad cut on the
shoulder, said to have been given by
Harvey Harper. The knife inflicted
a wound about two inches long, 60
ing in to the bone. 1t seems that
quite a number of boys and young
men were picking potatoes on the
farm of A. A. Grimes near Masscna.
They INDUCED in some fun by throw
ing potatoes until Porter was hit
rather hard. He thought Harper had
done it and the boys began wordy
combat which outgrew that state and
became Il fstic encounter. and as
result Porter was cut, as stated. Sev-
eral stitches were required, though
the wound is not serious one. Had
the knife struck little lower, how
ever, it would probably have proved
fatal. The boys appeared before the
grand jury aud testified regarding the
matter.

Hitrh Ia Nsgotiations Between Miners
and Oper atcrs. @
Scranton, Pa. Oct. 19.- Representa-
tives Of nearly all the big coal COM
panies Of the region conferred here
yesterday and made an agreement
I to amend the norlces already posted
by attaching the following: .s
In further explanation OF the
above notice this company desires
to say that it is the intention to pay
the advance in wages above noted
until April 1, 1901. and thereafter
until further notice"
The following statement was issued
to the press:
"Ihe Representatives of the larger
coal companies, after their meeting
this afternoon, stated in reply to IN
quirles that they had offered the
men q 10 per cent advance, as lndl-
Gated by the notices they had posted;
that this notice specially stated that
the reduction of powder from S29.'o
to $1.5O would be considered i'll arriv-

tinitely thereafter, but inasmuch as
there seems to be some misunder-
standing in this matter, they have
agreed to add to their notice clau
to the effect that it is their intention
to pay the advance until April l. 1901,
and thereafter until further notice.
President Nichols. whose district is
affected by the nowdcr question. said
last evening that it looked to him as
if another convention was necessary.
II do not know that the delegates
will consent to waving their demand
for straight increase and allowln"

powder which the operators are so in

their consent, l don't see how the

CONGER's MESSAGE ABOUT PEACE.
Ching and Chang Have Held u Con-
ference at Peking.

Washington, Oct. 19.-ror the first
time in the three days Minister Con-
ger was heard from at the state de-
partment yesterday. He communion
ted by cable the substance of certain
propositions advanced by Prince
Ching and Ii flung Chang as the ba-
sis for the conduct of negotiations
for the settlement of the Chinese
trouble. The Chinese government al
ready had prepared a way for these
by preliminary actions looking for
ward to the punishment of Chinese
officials guilty of completely in the
Boxer uprising, and while the text
of Conger's communication is not
made public it is believed the last
Chinese advance is addressed to some
of the propositions contained i'll the
French note, being in the nature Of
counter proposals and proceeding
upon the theory that what has been
done in the matter of punishment is
sufficient. to meet the demands from
the powers in that respect.

SHORTAGE IN SCHOOL FUNDS,
Secretary Of Burling ton school Board
" g5sl Short In Accounts,

Burlington, Oct. 17.--Thc last few
days have brought to light scandal
in business circles in this city. The
school funds have been tempered
with, and it is reported that there is
a shortage in II. A. Kelley's accounts
The matter is being thoroughly in
vestigntea. Mr.. Kelley has been Sec
rotary of the Burlington school board
for many years, and has had the
handling of large sums OF money. The
present. directory some weeks ago
became aware that something was
wrong, and began an Investigation.
AS far as known this tampering with
the money has been going on for sew
eral years. Those connected with
the matter refused to talk, and the
facts are beng suppressed as much
as possible, until a full investigation
is made. The board got the first ink
ling of Secretary Kelley's populations
at the September meeting. The mat
ter was brought to it's attention by
the First National bank. The board
was amazed, and Immediately began
an investigation, appointing COM
mittee for the work. The committee
found, upon beginning the work, that
it was too large Il task, and has APP
pointed an expert accountant to make
a thorough examination of the books
OF the secretary. Secretary Kelley's
bond is only $1,000. The law, for
some uneXplaina reason, provides
that the public cannot recover money
from an embezzlement further back
than three years. Mr.. Kelley has adj
mitted his stealings, and says they
have gone on for several years An
shows the amount taken
the past six months was $1,000. 1t is
feared the total will reach u sum
many times that amount.

JOY FOR PAUL Kruger.
Said That Francs WIN Give Him an
Encouracin. Word.

Encouraging Word.
New York. Oct. l9.-lt is stated on
excellent authority. says cabiegram
to the Times from Picking, that eN-
President Kruger will, after landing
at Marseilles, pass Though Paris and
he will be received with all the honors
due head of state. The municipal
ity OF Marseiles is making prepara-
tons for q grand reception for kru-
ger, and it is quite certain he will be
enthusiastically welcomed by the pop
ulation in general.
Recommencement Of the active de-
fenya in the Transvaal has re-awalt-
~ned European interest in the l'ocl'
cause, and the French government,
in common with other European gov
ernlnents, is not sorry to see this
Weakening Of sympathy, as Great
Britain's hands are all but completely
tied while the 45oers remain active.
In China, and in the settlement of
any difference with Great Britain,
her rivals can therefore take the add
vantage. It is likely, for this reason,
that Europe, and especially France,
will give the semblance OF encourage
ment to Kruger, and will hold out n
vague hope of intervention. A well
informed politician stated this will
be the policy of the French govern
ment. Kruger will be well received,
and the Beers will be encouraged as
much as possible. The end of hos
tilities need not therefore be looked
for at present. Kruger's friends are
still hoping he will visit America.

Berlin, Oct. 1S.-The Kolnische lei

has rendered his resignation as i'm

accepted. According to the same au-
thority the emperor has designated
as the retiring chancellor's successor
Count Won Buelow, minister of for

although rumors have been current
for several days that Prince Hohen-
lobe intended to retire. little Gre
dence was given to any of them, since
such reports had returned periodically
for several years past.
The reasons which induced the
prince to insist. upon retiring were, in
the main, his rapidly growing infirm-
tiles and his distinct disapproval of
the emperor's personal policy in
China. 10 his intimates Prince Ho-
henlohe during the last three months
has repeatedly expressed strong criti-
cisms upon what he has called the
kaiser's Sentimental and impulsive

washington, Oct. 17,--Russia is at
ter an American loan. Tt is learned
upon indisputable authority that the
Russian government has proposed TO
negotiate d loan in New York city,
and that syndicate is now being Or
ganized to float 1t.
The Chief promoter Of the enter
prise is q man well known in the
fields OF finance and politics. The
amount of the proposed loan, the
rate of interest and the sale price OF
bonds arc not known, but it is under
stood the sum Russia wants is $780,
100000 in gold.
1t is believed the loan will be taken,
and that pubic announcement con-
corning it will be made in few days.
The United States, it is conceded by
financiers, is now, in better condition
to make large loan than any other
country. In this country there is q
surplus Of money, and many millions
are constantly seeking investment. .
The United States is in 4 fortunate
position, too, in that it has large gold
balances abroad. Gold imports are
already being arranged for, greatly
to the regret of foreign fnanciers.
Last spring the Russian govern
ment negotiated a loan of s2o,oO0,ooo
in New York, but it is understood
very little if any of that money was
sent to Russia. 1t was used in pay
ment for warships built by the
Cramps of Philadelphia, for Alneri-
can locomotives and steel rails pur-
chased for Russian and Siberian gov
eminent railways.
The proceeds of the present loan
will probably be remitted directly to
st. Petersburg and will doubtless put
a stop to imports of gold from Eu-
rope to this country for q time at
least.
