ARMoR FOR OUR NAVY.
Only Two Companies Send Repre-
sentutives to a Conference.

Washington, Oct. 2-Only two Of the
steel companies were represented at the
conference which had been arranged for
ut the navy department to treat of the
subject of naval armor. These were Mr..
Linderinan, for the Bethlehem Steel com
pany, and Mr.. Schwab, for the Carnegie
company. The Midvale company, the
lowest bidder when bids were last opened
for supplying naval armor, sent no repre-
sentatives to the conference.
1t could not be learned that either of
the two armor companies represented
were prepared to offer any better rates
than those set out in their original bids.
In view Of this fact and having in mind
the nonappcarance of the Midyale people,
the secretary of the navy did not attempt
to reach decision on the armor question,
but probably will take the subject up
for further consideration in course of a
month or two.

THE POLICY OF FRANCE.
Agreement Of Powers ON "a Middle
Course Sought.


Course Sought.
Paris. Oct. 2.-.An officer of the French
foreign Office confirmed the accuracy Of Il
dispatch from Vienna which said that
France had addressed Il circular note t0
the powers concerning China i'll which
France agreed as to the necessity of oh
tanning satisfaction for the antifnreign
attack. but suggested that the min .sters
at Peking should Immediately begin nego-
tiations on the other questions at issue.
The note also proposed the permanent
prohibition of the import OF arms and
ammunition into China. the razing of the
Notifications between Peking and the
sea, and the maintenance Of legation
guards.
Concerning this note the foreign office
representative said:
M Delcasse has been contemplating
this action for number of days. France
wants peace and desires it eXpeditiously.
The minister is therefore anxious to find
a middle course between Russia and Ger
many which will meet with the approval
of all. There is no foundation for the
statement that an effort is being made
to secure continental accord to the detri-
ment of England or the United States.
We are unable to understand exactly
the course the United States intends to
pursue, whether she will act entirely sep
arate under all conditions or whether she
will negotiate in concert with the other
powers in case they reach an agreement
satisfactory to her.
"Germany's note, as understood here,
presents two propositions. One, the pun
ishment of the guilty; the other. the
peace proceedings. While some people
interpret it as meaning that the first is
an absolute condition preliminary to the
second, we see no reason why the powers
should not proceed with the treaty pre-
liminaries with those appointed emissa-
ries of the Chinese government at Pc
king, while the armies seek out and pun
ish Prince Tuan and his guilty associ-
ates. There is no incompatibility which
will not permit the two actions from oc-
curing simultaneously. Our hope is for
an agreement to begin negotiations, and
the note expresses M. Delcasse's ideas
of how best that end can be secured. We
feel there is nothing in it antagonistic
to the interests of the United States and
trust we will receive her acquiescence."

G ERMANY WANTS REVENGE.
Insists That Those Responsible For
Outrages Be Given Up.

Berlin, September 18.-The forsign
Office has. sent a circular note to all the
powers announcing that the German gov

preliminary to the beginning Of peace
negotiations with China, is the deliver
ing up of those who were responsible
for the outrages, The text of the tele.
graphic note is as follows:
s'The government OF the Emperor holds
as preliminary to entering upon diplo-
matic relations with the Chinese govern
rnent that those persons must be deliv
cred up who have been proved to be tht
original and real 1nstigators of the out

have occurred at Pekin.
''The number of those who We're mere

would be contrary to the civilized CON
science and the circumstances of such q

notorious should be delivered up and

Philadelphia, Pa, September 18.-The
leader of the strike says at the end of the
second day that 11SOOO of the 141, 900 mine
workers in the anthracite coal fields are
idle. No representative of the mine oper-
ators makes a statement for their side of
the matter but individual mine owners
dispute the strikers figures saying there
are more men at work than the union
leaders will admit.
The first advance in the price of coal
as a result of the strike was made by the
Philadelphia Il Reading company today
25 cents per ton being added
= This advance was promptly met by the
local dealers who increased the price to
consumers 80 cents a ton.
A cloud appears on the otherwise peace
full horizon in the shape of . report from
Harrisburg that bitter feeling is devel-
oping between the union and Don-union
men in the Lykens district and involv-
ing about $500 mine workers.
A concession was voluntarily granted
the $4,000 employees OF the Lehigh Coal &
Navigation company in the region west
Of Mauch Chunk who will hereafter work
ten hours day with a consequent Increase
in earnings. These men were unorganized
and had not pr esented any grievances.
True to its dec Iaration made before the
strike was ordered, the Philadelphia and
Reading company today brought its
mules to the surface in two mines near
Shamokin that had been closed by the
strike and announced that they were per-
mansntly abandoned. This action makes
1t necessary for the miners who formerly
worked in these collieries to seek work
elsewhere.
The action of the 1000 or more employees
OF the West End Coal company at MCCAIN
aqua near WiIkesbarre, in sticking to
their work stands out prominently as the
busy feature of an otherwise idle terrific
ry. They say they have no grievances,
have always received kindly treatment
from their employers and therefore resist
every effort to induce them to strike.
Father Phillips, the Catholic priest
who has been an interesting figure on the
strike, made a statement to the pubic
tonight presenting an argument in be-
half of arbitration and urging both sides
to get together.

''Hazleton, Pa, September 18, 80 p. m,

''Reports received at our Office from
district numbers one, seven and nine of
the anthracite coal region show that
there have been great accessions to the
rangs of the strikers today.
SIN district No. z (HazIet on region)
not less than 1900 mine workers who
mined coal yesterday, failed to report for
work this mornin G, thus increasing the
total number on strike from 10, ,OC0 to II, :
500 today.
''In district No. (Sohuylkill) our
forces have been augmented by 4, 800 mine
workers in addition to the 10000 report
ed yesterday.
''The situation in district No (Lack-
awanna- Wyoming) is practically the same
as the first day of the strike, only 200
men remaining at work. Total number
of men idle $4,000.
''From every section of the anthracite
region reports indicate that much dissat-
isfaction prevails among those who have
