MINI WORKERS |N}ESS|()N
AT SCRANTON AND
HEARD MITCHELL's STATEMENT
OF THE SITUATION
WHAT THE STRIKERS DEMAND
Little Hope Expressed of,Any Settle
ment en- the Single Basis of
Ten Per Cent Increase
In Pay.

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 12.-Eight hun
dred and 1lfty-seven miners who hold in
their hands the power to end or con-
tinue the anthracite coal miners strike,
which has been in progress more than
three weeks, met here today for the pur-
pose of considering the 10 per cent net
increase in wages offered by the opera
tors, and adjourned until tomorrow
without taking any action on their en-
ployers' proposition. Both of the ses-
sions were devoted to organizing the
convention and speeches by many of the
delegates on the mine owners conces-
sion. 1t was not expected anything would
be. done today outside of a general ex-
change of views. The convention, after
it was permanently organized, went into
secret session, but it was learned from
authoritative sources that nothing of
general nature was submitted that would
lead to the solution OF what was to the
miners a knotty problem. From num-
ber of delegates it was gathered that the
10 per cent proposition, as it now stands,
has very little hope of being accepted
The delegates seemed, it was learned,
to be almost unanimous that the opera
tors should first make concessions in the
other grievances before the increase is
accepted by the mine workers.
WHAT THE MINERS DEMAND.
Great stress was laid on the necessity
of abolishing the sliding scale and sub
stituting therefore a tonnage basis on
which to fix the rate of wages. The
proposition of having the operators guar
antee fixed time for paying the ad
vance was also thoroughly discussed,
while not a few delegates said they
would be satisfied with nothing but
more liberal increase in wages. The
mode of procedure is a matter which is
now occupying the attention of the labor
leaders. In case theF convention comes
to definite underst tanding on some
proposition the auestisn has been asked
how the operators WILL be advised, In.
view of the fact that the latter have re-
peatedly said the latter would not rec
ognize the union President Mitchell
would not discuss that phase of the
question, and none of the other labor
leaders Will venture an opinion.
That the present convention will not
come TO definite conclusion is the gen
eral opinion tonight 1t is the opinion
of several leaders that the convention,
as at present constituted, Is a little un-
wieldy. There was movement on foot
today having for it's object the submis-
sion of the various propositions as they
are suggested by the delegates to
committee appointed by the convention
Tor consideration, this committee to re-
port to either this or a second conven-
lon Thls movement; however, did not
gain much of a start. Some of the dele
gates think that the whole subject should
be left in the hands of the national Off
GERS, as limited at by President Mitchell
In his brief remarks just before the con-
yention went into secret session. Mr..
Mitchell is very popular among the min
ers, as shown by the enthusiasm dis
played as he delivered his opening ad-
dress.

great powers. This is true of a republic
as Well as OF any other form Of govern
ment, and amongst the tremendous
powers possessed by every civilized gov
ernment that ever has been or ever will
be, is the power of taxation. Almost
every revolution which has occurred in
the history of the world has been pro-
duced by an unfair use Of this power, and
a just and equitable system of taxation
absolutely insures good government. I
VIII! not weary you by citing history Or
giving illustrations to prove the truth of
what have said, because a moments
reflection upon your part renders it un-
necessary. Let me- however, for the pur-
pose of impressing upon you the impor-
tance of this question, cite the following
language from CoOley's Law Of Taxation,
at page f. The author, in speaking of the
power OF; government with regard to tax
atom, says I'm its very nature it ac-
knowledges no limits, and the only Sc
curtty against abuse must be found in
the responsibility of the legislature which
imposes the tax to the constituency who
are to pay it,
I have called your attention to this
subject for the reason that [ believe the
present governor of Minnesota, Hon. John
Lind, has been the first public man in
this state to realize, not only the i'm
portance of this question, but the
INEQUALITY IN TAXATION,
which had gradually arisen In this state
and who had the ability to discover the
remedy and the courage to apply it with
If he has done this, If his efforts as
governor have been directed to obtaining
amendments to our tax laws where nee
essary, and securing a more just and
equitable enforcement of the laws where
they. We're sufficient, he has earned the
gratitude of the people of Minnesota
and has proved himself a stateman in the
highest acceptataion of the term.
The efforts of Gov. Lind have not STOP
ped there, however, but in every depart
ment of tie state government his busi-
ness judgment, his sterling integrity,
have. been felt, so that we who advo-
Gated his election two years ago are
proud to be able to say today, as we
trutnfully can and do, that his influence
upon the state, upon the administration
OF the laws of the state, has in every
instance been for the benefit of the peo-
pie of the state, and that, under his fos-
tering care, every state institution has
advanced in efficiency, in integrity and in
business management
Large corporate interests, by reason Of
their strength, the skill with which they
are managed, have always been able to
protect themselves against injustice of

GERMAN DEMAND THAT AN Ex-
AMPLE BE MADE OF GUILTY
CHINESE
THEY SUSPECT THE DowAGER
Report of Her Death Is Disbeueved,
and Further Anti-Foreign
Movements Are Ex-
pected.

BERLIN, Oct 12.-The proposal Of the
Russian government that, in case of pro-
tracted divergence of views regarding
equitable indemnities, this matter may
be commended to the considera ton of the
international court of arbitration at The
Hague, Is regarded as the most impor-
tant recent development in the Chinese
situation. Nothing was known publicly
in Europe concerning it prior to the pub
lication of President McKinley's answer
to the note of M. Delcasse.
Most of the papers comment unsympa-
thetically upon the suggestion. The Lo-
kal Anzeiger says that it raises another
difficult problem, which will occasion long
negotiations, and the Berliner Tageblatt
understands that official circles regard it
as tentative rather than as formal
proposition.
Germany looks upon the report of the
death of the empress dowager as a new
Chinese intrigue. 1t is supposed that she
intends to disappear temporarily in order
to escape responsibility for the misdee6s
of high officials, and. perhaps, to pre-
pare another anti-foreign movement.
A high official Of the foreign Office as
serted today that a telegram had been
sent to the Chinese government demand
ing direct information as to whether the
empress dowager is dead. No reply has
been received, and the foreign Office
draws the conclusion that tee Chinese
government is kept informed as to the
plans of Tsze Hsi An.
The German foreign office is not salts
fed with the list of culpabies supplied
by the Chinese government.
'"The list is notoriously incomplete"
said an influential official today, 'as it
eliminates the names of scores of per-
sons who were active as leaders in the
massacre of foreigners. This is borne
out by all the letters and consular re-
Conger's statement.
Germany, however, is not disposed to
insist upon the punishment of all the
guilty. What she demands Is that an
example be made Of persons of high rank.
in order to show the Chinese, strikingly
and eonvincingly, that the powers have
enforced a seevere punishment for mis-
deeds and to teach a long and lasting
lesont-he lesson that the lives and prop
erty of foreigners must be safe in China
A dispatch received here today from
Shanghai seSs a very serious VieU is
taken at Field Marshal Count Won Wal
derseee's headquarters in Tien Tsin of
the revolutionary movement. At Canton
a false alarm, Oct Z, caused the Chinese
officials there to protest against any oc-
cupation Of Chinese territory.
The Yang Use viceroys, the dispatch
adds, openly affirm that they will oppose
any advance of the Germans IN Shan
Tung province.

ST JAMES MINI, Oct. 12.-(special)
,,-Thomas D. O'Brien, of ST. Paul, ma
tlonal committeeman for Minnesota,
spoke on state issues to a large audi
ence here tonight Mr.. O'Brien, who
was enthusiastically received, said:
National issues have been so fully dis
cussed by the gentleman who preceded
me that, with your permission, 1 will
confine my remarks this evening to what
we term state issues, and endeavor in a
few words to say why believe the candi-
dates presented to the people of Mime
party should be elected. For the first
time in the history of the state those can
didates come before you asking for an
Endorsement rather than a trial, and it is
fair, therefore, that we should inquire
what has been accomplished during the
past two years by, Coy. Lind and the de-
partments which he has controlled
Before making any analysis of what
has or has not been accomplished, let me
call your attention to one of the powers
of government, that is the power Of tax
alton. 1t makes, no difference what the
form Of government may be, an efficient
government Of necessity must possess
