fBy Associated Press, ,

PARIS, oct. 11.-Negotiations are PRO
ceeding actively on the subject OF tne
positions contained IN the note OF VI. De-
casse, the minister OF Foreign Atrairs,
regarding China. ana it is said here the
situation IS as follows:
Russia, Italy and Austria accept tnd
note Internationally. Germany Eas noS
yet communicated. her reply officially
but the French Government has been
given to understand that the German
Government considers that the note al
fords a basis for negotiation. Great
Britain also has adhered 30 the FrsEeh
note except III expressing the permanent
prohibition of the import of arms into
China. on which point it makes certain
reservations. The answer Of the United
States is not known. japan has rot re-
piled officially. but is expected to ac-
qu;esce.
Although the French Government is
anxious to receive the reply of Japan in
view of the present role Japan is en-
titled to play III the Chinese question. the
French note has, so far cleared the ground
and the result is considered 50 sstisfac-
tory that VI DslcaSse has instructed the
French minister at Pekin. NJ. Piehon, to
put himself in communication with the
other ministers and has also requested the
Powers TO authorizs their representatives

SCRANTON. PA, October 1.-THE cons
vention or the anthracits ruiners now on
strike throughout the hard coal fields in
Pennsylvania viii mee5 in this city to-
morrow morning for the purpose of consid-
ering the ten per cent. net increase in
wages proffered them by nearly all the
mine operators in the region. The dele
gates 10 the convention, who began arr!v-
ing to-day, have all reports of instruc-
lions from their local unions on The propo-
sitiun OF the operators.
Il was learned that most of them now on
the ground Will vote 20 rejsct The ten per
cent increase unless the operators make
further concessions.
Many of the miners will no. favor the
advance unless the operators give u guar
ansee that the increase VIII be Kept IN
force for fixed length of time, Others
want the union recognized before they VIII
accept the proposition, while not few IN
sist upon concessions In .he other grey

The belief IS. in the general absence f

chances of settlement by this couveH-
ton are rather slight. 1t is the impression
of several LABOR leaders that al least Il
second convention will have 10 be held be-
fore any definite action VII be taken look
ing toward an early ending of the con-
test.
MAY BE SECRET MEETING.
In speaking OF to-morrows convention.
President Mitchell said to-day:
The miners convention tomorrow will
be one of the most remarkable labor meet
ings held in The history of coal mining.
The convention. near as the United
Mine Workers officials can figure, Will
consist of about 700 delegates. President
Mitchell to-day prepared the address which
he will deliver at the opening of the first
session In all likelihood the convention
will be a secret one. President Mitcheil
will probably preside The organization
of the convention will be the only thing
done at tomorrow mornings session.
