PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 16.-That the

which President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers Of America, has officially
ordered TO begin tomorrow morning, will
be one of considerable magnitude seems
certain tonight. from reports received from
the regicn affected. 1t seems equally GER
tain that a number Of operators will make
an effort to run their collieries, even though
they may be short-handed, but whether
they will be successful only can be de-
termincd when the breaker whistles sound
the call 20 work. The operators generally
will have their collieries in condition to
begin operations, and the whistles will
blow as usual. but a large number Of the
employers admit that there is but little
hope of being able TO start.
To-day was one Of quiet throughout the
anthracite coal district. The mine workers
were orderly and their leaders were busy
addressing meetings to encourage and en-
thuse the members of the union and to
win over such of the nonunion men as they
could Many of these latter, although not
favoring a strike, will. 1t is the general
opinion, remain away from the mines rath-

MONEY FOR HARBOR WORK.
Philippine Commission May Spend
91,OOO,OOO at Manila.

MANILA, Sept. H.-General Wright, of
the Philippine commission. is preparing
a bill for harbor improvements here. 1t
contemplates an appropriation of $1,000. 900
gold for the construction of protective
dockage. The proposal is favorably COM
mented upon. especially by the Spaniards,
and the carrying out of the works, which
will be completed in about eighteen months,
will be greatly beneficial to commerce.
The commissions bill establishing muni-
cipalties will introduce change In the
deprivation of revenue, which will here
after come largely from land, instead of
industrial taxation. This will involve
the raising of the question of
the validity of existing land titles and will
force a decision as to the extent to which
the investments Of religious corporations
are to be exempted. The matter is re-
oeiving careful consideration at the hands
of the commission; and the feeling is that
the bringing of these issues TO a head will
be in many ways beneficial.
During the last fortnight ten Filipinos in

TIEN-TSIN, Sept. Is. via Shanghai. Sept
16.-William Woodville Rockhill, special
representative of the United States to
China, has left for Peking. In an interview
before leaving he said he did not expect TO
remain there more than a few days.
Ii Hung Chang is at Taku on a Russian
vessel. 1t is not believed he will come to

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Special Com
missioner William w. Rockhill. who was
sent to China by President Mckinley to
make a special report on matters Incl
dent to the existing complications in that
country, is now on his way TO Peking.
Mr.. Rockhill has been at Shanghai for
some days pursuing his line of inquiry in
that section of the empire, but accord
ing to dispatch received at the Navy De-
partment to-day from Admiral Remey. the
commissioner left Taku yesterday for Pc
king Aside from this dispatch from the
admiral there was no news of consequence
from the representatives of the government
in China. Nothing came from General
Chaffee during the day and the situa-
tion regarding the question of the with
drawal of the troops from Peking, IL was
stated, was unchanged
When Ii Hung Chang reaches Tien-Tsin
he will assume the viceroyship of the great
province of Chilli, thence he will proceed
TO Peking. Whether I'm his new office as
viceroy and with the additional powers he
may have as peace plenpotentiary, he
will be able to meet the demands of the
foreign governments for the complete res
toration of order, the preservation of peace
and the protection of foreigners. are ques-
tions which must answer themselves as
time progresses. 1t is understood that
up 10 this time there has not been any
consideration by this government of the
personnel of airy commissions that may be
appointed to secure peaceful and stable
government.
Several names have been mentioned. but
this is as far as the matter has progressed
Nothing official has reached this govern
ment of the reported rejection by Germany
of Yung Lu as a peace negotiator with
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching. 1t would
not be surprising. however. If this were
true, as the officials believe Germany or.
any other government would not be JUS

who has been regarded, I'm part. at least
responsible for much of the harm that has
been done.

cussion of the possibilities OF confer
ence in some other country shan China,

other circles. Such suggestion has not
been made to this government. however

HAZLETON. Pa, Sept. 1s.-With the ex-
ception of President MitcheIls arrival there
was little evidence shown here to-day that
Hazleton was the storm center OF the pres
ent coal war between labor and capital.
Nothing occurred to disturb the serenity
OF the day. Quite a large number of mir
ers came to town, but soon left when they
found that there was no news With the
exception OF the engineers, firemen. pump
runners and repair men no one was around
any OF the mines in this vicinity.
Public meetings OF miners were held dur
ing the day at Harley. Ebervale and Free
land. on the north side. Shepter and Har-
wood on the west side, and Colerain south
OF here The largest gathering was that
at Freeland, thirteen miles north, where
the union men are not so strong as the or
ganizers would like to have them. This
meeting was held In the open air, and was
addressed by National Committeeman BEN
jamin James and number of other labor
leaders well known in these regions. There
were 1000 persons IN the crowd. When Mr..
James asked all those to raise their hands
who were against a strike not an arm went
up. All the meetings were held for the
purpose OF encouraging the men TO stand
firm In the present conflict, and also to
strengthen their union by recruiting new
members All sorts of guesses are still be-
ing made as TO the number of men who
