STRIKE EFFECTS BUSINESS.
Working Force is Greater Than
Before The Strike.
IRON WORKERS ALL AT WORK.

New York Oct. 1-Dun's weekly
report says: Last week the paralysis
OF the anthracite industry was more
complete than the previous week and
the effect was seen upon the distribu-
ton of merchandise in the East and
the placing of new orders with the
manufacturers. Coal advanced 25c and
the larger companies refused to name
a selling price The strike involved
about 150, 900 miners, and hundreds of
trainmen, but the working force has
increased largely through the settle
ment between the Analgamated Asso-
citation and several steel companies.
whose works, employing 90, 900 men,
have been idle, while only 1880 men
were affected by the shut down of the
Susquehanna Iron and Steel company
by the strike In the east the condi-
tions seem favorable for a quick
recovery, with the coal strike over,
while in the West there has been no
noteworthy reduction in the distribu-
ton of any class of goods. Weather
conditions have been favorable for late
crops, and farm work is progressing
rapidly, except for some damage to
grain in the shock in the northwest.
Aside from the expected reduction to
$40 for steel rails and sale of Bes-
semer pig at Pittsburg at Sl3.T5, the
whole list of iron and steel products is
unchanged. The feeling grows strong
that the bottom has been
reached. Taking the eleven articles
quoted in our price tables, it will be
seen that aft er advance of over 100
per cent in 1899, prices have declined
only about 80 per cent this year and
there is already tendency toward a
higher level. One company is consid-
ering the purchase of 10000 tons of
foundry iron and export order of
$500 tons of rails has been placed.
More coke ovens are in operation but
the price is unchanged.

UNCONFIRMED REPORTS.
Change In Prince Tuan's Role And
The Russian Blockade.
NOTHING IMPORTANT SOON.

Washington, Oct 1.-The state de-
of any events of more or less import

in China according to the various
European reports, within the last
twenty-four hours If Tuan has been
degraded, and if Russia contemplates

government that Tuan's promotion
would be unwelcome to this govern
ment, but it has not yet been informed
of the results of that representation.
Respecting the statement that Ching
has been discovered to be contri butor
to the Boxer cause, it is said that all
the information that the department.
has been able to secure touching
Ching's personality went to show his
unvarying friendliness for the for
eigners, and upon that record he was
accepted competent envoy.
The officials declined to say whether
not the instructions to Minister
Minister Conger have gone forward
yet, but it is estimated that the minis
ter is fully advised by this time to
said, however. that the statement may
be significant, that no developments
in the Chinese situation of Importance
are expected within the next two
weeks at the least.

NO SERIOUS DISTURBANCE.

Philadelphia, Sept. 2s.-No overtures
looking to a settlement of the differ
ences have been made by either the
strike leaders the operators Various
propositions of a settlement by arbi-
tration have been put forward by per
sons not directly connected with the
mining business. but thus far practi-
caily no moves have been made in this
direction. There have, of course been
a few disturbances, but none of a char
acter at all serious with the exception
of the one at Shenandoah.
a shooting affray occurred near
Scranton, in which three men were
wounded, but the participants, who
Italians, were all strikers, and

Hazelton, Sept. 2s.-The sheriff had
long talk with Adjutant General
Stewart over the telephone and they
agreed that in view of the calTnness
now prevailing throughout the Lehigh
valley it would be inadvisab BILE to send
armed force here at this time.
The sheriff gave out the following
for the information of the citizens of
this region:
1.-The fact that l have called on the
governor for help is true. / have since
been in communication with him and
also General Goblin. who assures
that upon the slightest overt act by
the unlawful assem- bling of men, he

until all the trouble is over.

district is steadily decreasing. This Is
shown from the shipments of coal from
the region which indicate falling off

win Adhere to Principles Laid Down

Washington, Sept. 27.-The report
that Prince Tuan had been signa11y
honored by the Chinese government
has not yet been officially confirmed,
but if it should prove true that Prince
Tuan had been advanced to high sta
ton it may lead to serious conse-
quences- The government has laid
down the principle that no one in any
way connected with the outrages shall
have anything to do with the forth
coming negotiations and this applies
to Prince Tuan any others notably

General Chaffee that his chief desire

the fairness of the United States and

London, Sept. 26.-According to the

General Gribslzy, military governor
of Amur, has published elaborate reg

the ArInur river now occupied by the
Russians entirely under Russian law

proclamation declaring the annexation

Washington, Sept 26.-There is
disposition to minimize the differences
between the United States and Ger
many on the point of the delivery of
the Chinese ringleaders before nego-

only reason for differing was a pro-
found conviction that a deterrent

Washington, Oct. General Mac
Arthur reports that Captain Devereaux
Shields, with 81 men is missing. The
detachment was on Martinique. a
small island lying due south and about
800 miles from Manila.
Captain Shields appears to have
started from Santa Cruz ON a gunboat
for Torrijos, small coast port, and it
is inferred that the boat well the
body of troops under that officer has
been captured, for the dispatch makes
no reference to her return.
General Macarthur scarcely doubts
that the entire party has been cap
tured- Colonel George s. Anderson,
with two infantry companies, was sent
to the island at once with orders to
commence immediately and to move re-
1entless1y until Shields and party are
rescued All troops are expected to
return soon Logan will be sent to

the government that they are acting

Negotiations.


Washington, Sept 27--In accordance
W it'll the statement made to Germany
to the effect that the United States
government is about to authorize Min
lister Coneer to forthwith confer with
duly authorized representatives of the
Chinese government with a view to
bringing about a preliminary agree
ment, Acting Secretary of State Hill
is framing the direction to Mr. Conger-
In view OF the peculiarly delicate ma
ture of the task to be con6ded to Mr.
Conger this is a work requiring much
thought The language of the note
protesting to state what Mr. Conger is
to do is unusual, and seems generally
to indie lte that he is about to under
take to bring the powers and China to-
gether: in actually, he is to serve as
mediator, in part, at least
He presumably will arrange with
the Chinese representatives, Ii Hung
Chang and Prince Ching. as to the
place where they are willing to meet
the representatives of the powers to
discuss a final settlement, and try to
fix upon certain broad principles that
shall govern the conference. This
program must be submitted to the
powers to ascertain if they are willing
to accept it. If SO, then it may be that
something in the nature of a joint in
ternational peace commission will deal
with the Chinese representatives
Should the powers or any of them re-
ject such programme as Mr. Conger
may be able to frame, then it appears
that there will be nothing for the Uni
ted States to do but to proceed with
the final negotiations on its own ac-
count. taking steps to make sure that
no subsequent action of the dissenting
powers negatives any of the results
