A CLASH IS AVERTED.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 19.-The expected
clash between the union and non union
miners in the Lykens Valley region was
averted by the strikers at Lykens aban-
doning their proposed march to Williams
town tonight to attempt to force the
miners there to quit work. The Feeling
between the Lykens and Williamstown
miners IS so bitter that the strike lead
ers were induced this afternoon by the
borough authorities of Lykens to persuade
their followers not to invade the terri
tory of the non-strikers. Seven hundred
strikers were to have started for Will
Jamestown at o'clock with two bands Of
music, and they were much chagrined
when the proposed march was called off.
A small delegation of strikers went there
this evening and had a meeting in the
public square, at which speeches were
made by three strike leaders. There was
no disorder, and this has encouraged the
authorities of the neghboring borough to
believe that the danger of trouble between
the strikers and non-strikers is over

Berlin Sept. 19-It is understood that
the Immediate cause for the issuing by
Germany of the circular note to the pow
ers regarding the Chinese settlement was
the fact that Ii Hung Chang, during his
recent interview with the German Min
lister to China. mentioned a number of
names of alleged high mandarns hitherto
wholly unknown as those responsible for
the Pekin outrages, and said that China
willing to punish them. This ex-
planation seems TO be borne out by the
following statement made by the German
Foreign Office today to the correspondent
of the Associated Press in Berlin:
What we want TO avoid is an oppor-
tunity for allowing China to impose any
sham concessions upon the powers by de-
liyering up for punishment persons who
had nothing to 60 with the Pekin atroci-
ties. Hence it is advisable for the repre-
sentatives of the powers in China to
designate beforehand all who are notori-
ously guilty. Germany does not wish to
preJndge the case in any way. She

It is A HOLLOW FARCE
G. A. R. Resolution Against
Our School Histories
Atlanta Camp of Ex-Conftdera!es Points o Use
of Partisan Histories in Northern
Schools,
(By the Associated Press.)

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 19.-Atlanta Camp
159, United Confederate Veterans. at it's
last meeting adopted a resolution couched
in strong language, taking exception TO a
resolution passed at the recent encamp-
ment at Chicago, of the G.. A. R., relative
to Southern school histories. 1t was held
by the G. A. r. resolution that many of
the histories used by Southern school
children gave a partisan view of the his
torical facts of the Civil War.
After giving briefly several incidents
in the war the resolution adopted by the
Atlanta camp concludes:
I'm the language of the resolutions of
the Grand Army. we of the South also
call upon all patriotic citizens to aid in
banishing from our schools all books and
teachings of a partisan, sectional or dis
loyal character. but we remind our fel-
low citizens of the Grand Army of the
Republic that so long as the Northern
schools are supplied with books that teach
that the war between the States was or
ganized rebellion designed to destroy the
Union, that Jefferson Davis was the arch
traitor (while John Brown was hero and
martyr) that Robert e. Lee, Albert S.
Johnston and Stonewall Jackson were
guilty of treason; that Semmes, Tattnall,
Buchanan and Waddell were wicked
pirates and the Southern armies were
bands of rebels, the adoption of these
resolutions by the Grand Army of the
Republic is but . hollow farce.
"The resolutions themselves TEEN with
partisan anger and Misrepresentation
Whenever the unfair partisan books of the
North are corrected and all evidences of
hatred to the South eliminated therefrom,
it will then be time enough for our Grand
Army friends to call for reform in the
matter of Southern histories

Col. Meldrim made a most excellent i'm

strong advocate of compulsory education
and the trailing of young men through a
