CHINESE TROUBLE
REACHES A CRISIS
United States MustWithdraw
or Join With Germany.
AN OFFICIAL VIEW OF TT

1t is Stated That This Government
May Be Forced to Settle With China
and Withdraw-Minister WI Inter-
viewed on the Situation.
WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-The impress
sion here is that the German note of
yesterday demanding the punishment
of the Chinese officials responsible for
the outrages upon foreigners as a condt-
ton precedent to peace negotiations, has
brought the Chinese trouble to an acute
crisis as far as the United States govern.
ment is concerned. This conclusion is
based upon the belief in official circles
that the Chinese government cannot ac-
cept the German proposal, so that it is
now for the United States government
either to withdraw its forces from China
Immediately or to join Germany and
England and perhaps some other of the
allied powers in a prolonged war with
China.
Baron Won Sternberg, the German
charge d'affaires, just returned to Wash
ington, called early at the state depart
ment today to talk with Mr.. Adee, the
second assistant secretary of state, in
explanation Of the points Of the German
note.
Mr.. Wa, Chinese minister, had pre-
coded him, showing signs of nervous
ness and disquiet over this last move.
Mr.. Adee made an appointment for him
with DR.. Hill, who, having recovered
from his indisposition, is again acting
as secretary of state. Then Mr.. Adee
repaired to the White House to commu-
nicate to the president the substance of
the conversation he had had with the
two diplomats, and to assist in the con-
sideration Of the German note. Atten-
ton was directed in some quarters to
the fact that in the very beginning in
the note of July 3, Secretary Hay had
notified the Chinese government that he
expected that the guilty persons in con-
nection with the outrages would be pun
ished.
However, this demand was not made
condition precedent to negotiations.
Now the belief is growing that If the
United States is forced to a speedy de-
cision as to the German proposition 1t
may resort to direct negotiations with
the Chinese government and, having
settled its scores with that government,
withdraw from China, giving notice to
the allied powers there of the arrange
ment made, in order that the arrange
ment should remain in full force and
unaffected by any settlement that the
allies may make thereafter as to China.

Minister WI Disturbed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Minister WI
is greatly interested today in Germany q
note to the powers asking combined ao-
ton in a demand that those responsible
for the trouble in China be punished as
an indispensable preliminary to any
peace negotiations. When seen at the
legation he had before him a copy Of the
published text OF the note. He states
that Germany's demand is impossible.
81 can hardly believe that this step
has been taken," said he, "aDd if it has
been it is 50 unfortunate in its influence
on the general question that l am
greatly in hopes that Germany will re-
consider. The situation imposed on
China will be very hard. 1t would
amount to determining one of the sub
jects of negotiation before negotiations
are commenced"

Other Works Closed.

The VanWyckle strippings, employ
ing 800 men, failed to start today, the
men there also having been persuaded
to quit by the McAdoo marchers.
From Colerain the McAdoo men went
to Tresickow, where they succeeded in
closing the Tyler g. McLurk washery,
employing 20 men, and also prevailed
upon the 90 men working at Crawford
6 Dugan's strippings not to go to work.
From that place they proceeded to
Honey Brook and persuaded the men
working at Garson's washery not to be-
gin work. The only other collieries
working on the southside, besides the
crippled Colerain, are Coxe's at Beaver
Meadow, which is working full, and the
Vans at Beaver Meadow, which is short
handed.
The Halle mines at the Hazelton shaft
of the Lehigh Valley Coal company in
this city are practically dead, only a
handful of men being at each place.
No. 20 shaft Of the same company is
working very short handed.
Operators In this district today COM
plain that mine workers are being in
Inundated. They claim that many men
are anxious to work, but they fear bod
lily harm and don't go to the mines for
that reason. The Van Wyckle company
sent coal and iron police to the homes of
it's men on the southside this morning
to get them to return to work. They
promised them protection while on their
way to and from work and at the mines,
but very few men, if any, went back.

.HOWARD'S DEFENSE
OUTLINED BY LITTLE
Will Introduce Volumin0us
Proof In His Behalf.
TO REFUTE 0WElT GAINES
Defense Will Attempt to Prove That
Howard Was Not the Man Seen Rum
ming From the Capitol Grounds After
the Shooting of Goebel.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 19.-The de-
Tense began introducing its testimony
in the Howard trial today. The state
ment of facts which the defense expects
to- prove was made to the Jury by Attor-
ney Q. B. Little. He stated that the de-
Tense will introdUvN voluminous proof
to show that Howard arrived in the city
only about 80 minutes prior to the as
sassination, and did not go to the state
house till several hours after the tragedy.
That Howard was then, and had
been clean shaven for over a year, and
that he was not the man seen running
from the capitol grounds or later stand
ing on the steps of one of the buildings
as that man, according to the witnesses,
had a beard. Howard had come TO
Frankfort for the purpose of procuring
a pardon for the murder of George
Baker, but Governor Taylor refused to
consider his application. Mr.. Little said
that the fact that Howard was an un-
erring marksman should not be consld-
cred against him.
"Why," said he, "there were 500 in
that motley crowd who arrived here
Jan. % and were here when Governor
Goebel was killed, who are as expert
rifemen as Howard. Everybody in the
mountains can shoot. /, myself, could
kill man with rifle at 100 yards If
tried.
He said it was to Clay counry's credit
that man from that county came here
with the armed mountaineers Jan. 90.
He said the defense would prove that
Howard had to borrow money to go
home when he left Frankfort, and that
he consequently had not received money
for killing Goebel or from any other
source and that the records show he
never received a pardon of any kind,
though the commonwealth alleges that
both money and pardon were to be his
reward.
In his own behalf Howard testified
that his train was late and he went from
the train to the Board of Trade hotel
and was there when Goebel's body was
carried by.
Howard in a general way contradicted
everything of an discriminating nature
told against him by James Stubble6eld
and other witnesses in regard to alleged
remarks concerning the murder of Coo

REvoLUTIoNlsTs CONTROL.
Cuban Elections Result In Their Fa-
vor-Policy Outlined.

HAVANA, Sept 19.-The result Of the
election of delegations to the forthcom-
ing constitutional convention are being
discussed by the Havana delegates and
other prominent Cubans. The oonclus-
ion reached is that the convention will
be controlled by the revolutionary ele-
ment. Senior Alfredo Sayas, National
list delegate, said:
"The convention will not allow itself
to be influenced by any representative
of the United States 1t will adopt and
follow independent policies throughout,
in my opinion, refusing to decide as to
the relations which shall hereafter exist
between Cuba and the United States.
This is matter which should be left to
a special committee.
Senior Rodriguez expressed the same
opinion, and other representative dele
gates in various parts of the island
adopted the same attitude. In the main,
the delegates are capable men. Most of
them, it is said, are in favor of immedi-
ate and absolute independence without
the Intervention of protectorate.

EVERYTHING IS TIED UP.

Forced to Suspend Operations.
SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 19.-The strike
of the anthracite coal miners entered
upon its third day with everything shut
down in the first district, headquarters
here receiving word that the Mocana-
qua breaker in the far western end of
region had been closed through the
efforts of District President Nichols,
who organized nearly every workman
there. This makes the tie up of the
Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys
thorough, for not even washery is do
ing business hereabouts.
The situation is made more compli-
Gated by this fact, for within few days
must come the stoppage Of street rail-
way travel, the shutting down largely
of the electric light service snd the pos
sible closing of the shops Of the Laoka-
wanna railroad.
1.-The necessities of the strike make
this imperative" said Henry Collins of
the district executive board. ''The tie
up Of the mines has caused the laying
off of every coal train crew in this re-
gion and whatever coal is being moved
is going out in the freight trains.
The Erie railroad is almost at stand
still No coal is taken over the Homes
dale branch. and the switching crew
there has been laid off. The Erie and
Wyoming Valley, the Delaware and
Hudson, the Ontario and Western and
the Lackawanna systems are not moving
single coal train In any direction, the
strike being wholly responsible for this
condition. The number of railroade4s
idle in consequence reaches into the
hundreds. This makes the interest of
the railroad men in the strike keen and
they are willing to do everything re-
CURED to bring about it's quick ending.
At district headquarters 1t was pre-
dicted by Nicholas Burke, committee
man, that within another week, if some
terms of settlement are not arranged,
the strike would make many more thou
sands idle

TENNESSEE MINERS STRIKE.
Demand an Increase OF Wages For the
Day Laborers.

Coal CREEK, Tenn, Sept. 19.-Mi-
ners and day laborers employed by the
Coal Greek company went on strike
last night. The men demanded that
the day laborers be given an increase in
wages, which would make their pay
equivalent to that of laborers employed
by other companies in the Coal Greek
and Jellico districts. The company re-
fused to grant the increase, further than
a general raise Of N per cent as agreed
upon at the Jellico conference last week.
It happened that the laborers in the
Coal Greek company's mines were paid
a trifle less than laborers elsewhere.
The miners are satisfied with their
scale, but are striking in the hope of
gaining the raise for the day laborers.
About ten men remained in the mines.
