BERLIN, Sept. 26-Aarming news
from China has reached the German gov
ernment, but it will not be published
now, as Germany intends to use il during
the conferences in Peking Field Mar
shal Count Won Waldersee has cabled to
Emperor William direct that he has
found the general situation much more
dangerous than he had expected as II
has grown worse during the last fort
hight, and the cOnsuls in central and
southern emma are expecting a general

Advlces from DR.. Mumm Won Schwart-
Zenstein, the German minister in China,
are of similar tenor.
Inc Cologne Gazette publishes a state
ment, evidently inspired, to the effect
that with the exception of Great Britain
all the powers have replied to the Ger
man note and that all with the exception
OF the United States agree to Germany's
proposal in essentials. 'The appoint
ment of Prince Tuan az the head OF the
chinese government may be regarded. {"
says the Cologne Gazette, las the first
fruits Of Americas policy. The Ameri-
can note has evidently revived the cour-
age OF the Chinese and their cherished
speculations regarding discord among the
powers. The act of the empress in an
pointing Prince Tuan is a slap in the
face for the whole world, but China will
deceive herself in this matter. as she has
done in others. Even assuming that

to only part of the powers, that part

9 WAGE SCALE SIGNED.
Iron nnd steel Mills to Resume or.

CINCINNATI, Sept 24.-The confer
ence committees of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron and Steel Workers anG
of the manufacturers after an all night
conference signed the wage scale thai
will be effective until July, 1901.
1t is what is known as the yearly
scale which takes effect usually in July
Owing to the unusual fluctuations of the
market the new scale had not beer
signed when the mills shut down June
30, and the conditions have been unfa
vorable ever since June. so that the mill:
have been idle for almost three months
AS soon as the scale was signed mes
sages were sent in every direction be
fore the conferees breakfastcd Some
mills started this morning. and all 9th
ers will resume as soon as possible. This
decision means employment to over Co..
600 workmen who have been idle since
June.
The reasons for the delay in adjusting
the wage scale as well as for the FIRE
quent prolonged conferences are fount
in the slump in the market and the fluc.
tuations during the past year from the
highest to the lowest price. The work
ers wanted 50 per ton. based ON l 4-1G
card rate. The manufacturers offered
$3.50 per ton on l cent card rate fol
boiling, and the differences were in about
the same proportion in other lines.

Photographinu by Light of venus.

GENEVA, n. V, Sept 25.-Dr. Will
liam Il. Brooks has succeeded in photo
graphing objects solely by the light from
the planet Venus. BY this is not meant
photographing the planet itself, which
has been done many times. The expert
ments were conducted within the dome Of
the observatory so that all outside light
was excluded except that which came
from Venus through the open shutter of
the dome. The time was the darkest hour
of the night. after the planet had risen
and before the approach of dawn. The
action of the light from Venus was much
stronger than anticipated, the photo.
graphic plates being remarkably clear, in
tense and fully timed. The experiments
will be continued every clear night DIR.
Brooks was an early worker in photog-
raphy and has used it for many years in
his astronomical researches.
