at them and said
"You have caused all the inconvenience

compelled TO leave Peking. Now can't

The dowagpr empress, who sat beside

Wang Wen Shao, who was reported at
one time to have been killed while assist

have had Il fight with Prince Tuan's

THAT GERMAN NOTE.
Italy and Austria Said to Be the Only
Powers to Reply FavorabIy.


London, Sept. 26.-A dispatch from
Paris says that it is asserted from excel
lent diplomatic sources that Italy and
Austria are the only powers which have
replied favorably and Internationally to
Germany's note. 1t is certainly a fact
that the replies Of Russia and France
are almost identical, advocating the pun
ishment of the originators of the anti
foreign assaults, but not making their
surrender an absolute condition Of the
peace preliminaries. Japan takes a mid
die course, leaning a little mere strongly
toward Germany, while Great Britain
declines.
The British authorities discredit the
report that Germany will present an
ultimatum to China and intimate that it
was probably concocted at Shanghai with
the object of causing friction between
Germany and Great Britain and thus de-
laying united action.
The officials of the German embassy
declare the ''ultimatum story" to be alb
solutely groundess.
The attempt of the London Times and
other European papers TO distinguish be
tween the views and proposals contained
in the German note and their endeavor to
lay all stress on the proposals without any
attention to what Gerna'ly considered
Il preliminary to any negotiation is pro
nounced here to be utterly at variance
with the construction they put on th
note when it was first made public. The
Times editorialy, Sept, 10, declared the
German government recognizes the force
OF tho contention we have consistently
laid down. tlat the punishment of the
real authors OF the attacks on Europeans
must be Il condition precedent to diplo-
matte dealings Of any Kind with any of
the representatives of China"
That waS the theme OF the whole edi-
torial. The proposal that the minister's
at PckinS be empowered TO designate
such real authors Of the attacks was. it
is pointed ouj. treated merely incidentally
ana us Il sequence to the first part of the
note, no endeavor being made TO separate
what Germany considered essential from
what she proposed. In fact. the proposal
regarding the designation of the authors
of the attacks was then thought by The
Times and other papers in England and
ON the continent to be a logical result
of the powers agreeing that their sur
render was To be precedent to the ne
gotiations. This view was fully shared
by the Berlin correspondent of The
Times, Sept. 10, in spite of his present
change of base. Thus, it is claimed, the
efforts show that if America or even Eng
land misunderstood Germany's meaning,
it can only be the result OF Ignorance OF
an endeavor to enable the German gov
erlnment to retire from Il position the.
find untenable.

Reports Indicate That Matters Are at

BOTH SIDES CLAIM GAINS.
President Mitchell Making Every
Effort to Induce the Idle Men
to Refrain From Tres-
pass or Violence.

Philadelphia, Sept. 26-Affairs in the
strike region are very quiet. The sol
ders are still encamped on the hills
near Shamokin, but they have nothing
whatever to do, and the men are becom-
ing impatient to get back to their homes.
Sheriff Harvey's effort to get II couple of
regiments of militiamen into Luzerne
county on the plea that the marchers
are getting beyond his control has thus
far been denied by Governor Stone and
events would appear to justify the gov
ernor in his attitude.
President Mitchell of the strikers un-
ion, aided by his lieutenants, is making
every effort to induce the idle men to
refrain from violence or trespass, as he
fully realizes the moral effect of an out
break, that would neccsstate the send
ing of soldiers to the Hazlcton region.
Both sides claim gains, but reliable re-
ports received here Indicate that matters
are at standstil with the battle of
endurance progressing steadily. Marke's

HOWARD CONVICTED.
Jury Finds He Was Principal In
the GOebeI Murder.


Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 26.-James How
ard has been found guilty of being a
principal in the assassination of Gov
ernor Gocbel. The verdict entails death
sentence.
When court reconvened, the jury was
reported hopclessY divided, and the
spectators, who filled the courtroom to
its utmost capacity. were white with
suppressed excitement.
The jury soon filed into the room.
Foreman Crutcher handed to the clerk
the iury's verdict, written on slip of
paper. Howard occupied Il seat by his
attorney. AS the clerk read from the
paper the jury's finding the defendant
did not display the least agitation and
was apparently no more concerned than
any other person in the courtroom.
The verdict was Il surprise. as it had
been strongly rumored that the jury was
divided on the question Of the guilt or
innocence Of the prisoner. Ii has been
learned. however, that the difficulty in
reaching verdict was over the degree
of punishment, some Of tie jurors favor
ing life imprisonment. while Others
stood out for the death penalty and final
ly won their associates over.
Howard was remandcd to jail. where
he was followed by his bosom friend.
John G. White. VINO was almost paraiyz-
ed by the verdict. The jury which tried
the case was divided politically as fol
lows: Nine Democrats. one Republican
and two anti-Goebel Democrats.
