all varieties of the fall products above
mentioned. The feature of the illum-
nation in the evening was the great
number of incandescent lights strung
from tree to tree and surrounded by
colored paper cut to represent the pet
ais of flowers. All the regular gas
lights in the grounds were hidden from
sight by the same arrangement of col
ored tissue paper and the effect Of the

not large enough to accommodate an
enormous crowd the discomfort is,
sometimes very great. A certain firm,
the Alley Brothers, has placed thous-
ands and thousands of iron chairs in
the open spaces, and these are rented
for two cents an evening. On Sunday
or fete nights the crowds begin to fill
up the chairs at the foot of the foun-
tain as early as o'clock, three hours
before the lights are turned on, and by
half past or 10 o'clock the whole field
is solid mass of people. OF course
there are not chairs enough for all, and
as most of the people have been tramp
ing about the fair all day, they are too
tired to stand up, so they calmly sit
or lie down right in the midst of the
gravel paths, and on Sundays especial
ly, when the peasant crowd has come
to Paris for days holiday, it is COM
mon to see children lying asleep in the
midst of the path, so that anybody
moving about must take great care not
to walk on them. This peasant crowd
is one of the interesting sights. French
people generally, and especially provin-
Gals, are very easily interested, or, to
use common term, they are mostly
all "rubbernecks," and any little thing
like Dahomey negress with her lit
tie black child bound to her back by a
broad sash is sure to draw crowd,

three or four abreast, walk slowly

NO COERCION IN CHINA.
Treaty Rights of the Missionaries in
That Country.

Much is made of the alleged thrust
ing Of missionaries into the empire
under the shelter of coercive treaties,
while at the same time the Chinese
government is broWbeaten into pro-
tecting them from mob violence. The
usually emphasized by mission critics
in a sinister sense as if the tolerance
of Christianity were forced upon the
protesting Chinese authorities. There
is reason to believe that the clause of
liberation was one of the least obj
ectionable features of modern treaties.
It is stated, in the Records of the
Shanghai Missionary Conference of
1877 (p. 407), but without sufficient
official verifcation that the Chinese
Commissioners themselves favored the
liberation clauses. None of these
treaties, of course, was liked by the
Chinese; and every clause, especially
those referring to open ports and trade
concessions, was the result of a meas
ure of diplomatic pressure. To ignore
this, and make it seem that the
civilized governments have, in any ex-
ceptional sense, introduced Christian
ity and Christian missionaries into
China by compulsion, is to give a
safeguarded interests which it was not
wise to neglect It is now, and has
long been, an indisputable fact that
Christianity is an officially recognized
and tolerated religion in China-as
much so as Buddhism, Mohammedan-
ism, and Taoism.
The allegation that China was
coerced into receiving missionaries is
not, therefore, sustained, since, as be-
fore the modern treaties were made.
Protestant missions, to be sure, date
from early in the present century; but
even they had established themselves
as a fixture at prominent centers be-
fore the treaties to which reference is
made were executed. 1t is because
missionaries were already there, and
were Americans, British, French, Ger
man, and other European citizens,
having legal rights which any honor
able and considerate civilized govern
ment would be anxious to protect, that
the clauses guaranteeing religious
liberty and immunity from persecution
were inserted in all the treaties with
China. Such clauses have in fact,
been introduced into other treaties

And Chinese Emperor Hopes That

Berlin, Oct. 3.-The Chinese emper-
or's message to Emperor William of
Germany says: "Bv decree we order
that a sacrifice be made on the altar
for deceased (Baron Won Ketteler),
and the chief secretary has been in
structed to pour libations on the altar.
Commercial superintendent have
been ordered to take needful measures
concerning the conveyance of the cof-
fin of the deceased. When it reaches
Germany a second Offering sLan be
made on the altar. We therefore en-
terrain the hope that your majesty
ill renounce all reseninien: so that
peace may be arranged as soon as
possible" etc. The emperor replied
that libations would not atone for the
crime and that the perpetrators must
be punished.

Wilkesbarre, Oct. 3.-The parade
and mass meeting of striking miners
in this city yesterday was the greatest
labor demonstration ever held in
northwestern Pennsylvania. The
weather was favorable and large
crowds came into the city from nearby
towns. The city presented a holiday
appearance. President Mitchell and
party arrived shortly after 1, and we're
met at the depot by a large and en-
thusiastic crowd. The parade, headed
by President Mitchell and officers of
the national executive board, started
at 2, and required an hour and twenty
minutes to pass a given point. 1t is
estimated there were fully $4,000 men
and breaker boys in line. Many ban
ners and transparencies were carried
by the men.
1t was estimated that nearly 10000
people were massed in front of the
stand when the labor president began
to speak. The reception he got from

He said:
mo man would go further to avoid

methods fail then favor strikes. me
greatest strike of the history OF the
world is drawing to close. Al
ready the great coal carrying rail-
roads have agreed to increase your
wages 10 per cent, which is great
victory in itself. Though it is not
enough, and does not satisfy us, the
time is not far distant when the an
thracite coal miners will receive as
much for their labor as any other class
of workmen in the world. This strike
shall not be ended until convention
of anthracite miners shall so decide.

one man will desert the ranks OF the
union, that not one man will go back
to the mines until victory is COM
plete."
President Mitchell had no news
touching upon negotiations for set
tlement to give out. He said there
was absolutely no change in the sit
uation. The coal operators had no in
formation from the men yesterday as
to whether the offer would be accept
ed or not. The miners, however, have
about made up their minds that they
will not consider the offer. The in
crease, they say, is mere trif1e, not
worthy of consideration. The fact that
the operators have made what appears
to be a studied effort to ignore the
miners union is what aggravates the
miners most.
Strikers Elect Delegates.
Shenandoah, Oct 3.-Meetings OF
all local branches of the United Mine
Workers were held last night to elect
delegates to the convention to be
called by President Mitchell. One
delegate was chosen for every zoo

at all meetings expressing the strikers
determination to remain away from
the mines until operators decide to
recognize the union. 1t was agreed
the men will only return to work in a
body.
