Intention of calling a convention is taken
by the miners as an indication that he is
willing to retire from the struggle with
the laurels he has won.

to gain anything when he ordered the

AGREE TO ARBITRATE.
Shenandoah, Pa October 3.-The fol-
lowing notice was posted here and
throughout this region this afternoon by
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company:
''This company makes the following
announcement to its mine employees:
"It will adjust its rate of wages so as to
pay It's mine employees on and after Oc-
tober l, 1900, net increase of 10 per
cent of the wages heretofore received, and
Will take up with its mine employees
any grievances which they may have.
(Signed)
"R, G. Luther, General Superintendent .
Under this came the following:
''Fellow workmen: Pay no attention
whatever to these notices. Wait until
your hear from the convention.
(Signed) &c. S. POTTER"
Mr.. POTTER is a local organizer and lead
er. He stated that special meetings of
the Shenandoah unions would be held
tonight to discuss the Reading compa-
ny's notice. The Reading company's
new offer differs from the one posted on
Monday in that it definitely makes the
offer of a tan per cent advance in wages
and agrees specifically to arbitration.

French Proposal.

Washington, October 8.-A feeling of
here today relative to the Chinese troubles
that warrants the belief in the existence
of a sound foundation based on very re-
cent developments in pending negotia-
tions. 1t is evidently the conviction of
officials that rapproachment among the
powers is near at hand. However, it is
not deemed we'll to make any public an
nouncement or the progress Of the negoti-
ations at this stage. Although it is
known that there have been several I'M
portant exchanges recently, both verbally
between the diplomatic representatives OF
the powers here and the state department
and through the United States represen-
tat1ves abroad and the governments to
which they are accredited, it can be in
ferred only that their general tenor has
been highly favorable from the satisfac-
ton expressed by the officials.
The encouraging outlook has been
brought about very largely by the har-
mon1ous sentiments which have de-
veIoped between this government and
Germany concerning the course or future
events in China.
Since the return of Secretary Hay he
has had several conferences with Baron
Speck Won Sternberg, the German charge
d'affaires, which have been of such a
character as to show that the purposes of
the two governments were very much
alike and that, whatever might have been
contemplated, they were now proceeding
toward a common end for the solution OF
the entire difficulty. The Berlin govern
ment received several days ago the Sheng
dispatch giving the Chinese edict for the
severe punishment OF Prince Tuan and
his associates. This was accepted in the
highest German quarters as a sincere evil
dence that China was disposed now to
deal with the responsible parties as their
offences deserved. 1t also developed the
sentiment that declaration OF war
against China would be needless and that
a solution OF the problem could be So
cured through pacific channels. Alto
gether the outlook is more satisfactory
than at any time heretofore, not only for
concurrent action by the powers, but also

1t is expected, however, that the atten-
tion of this government will be turned
within the next few days, to some entire
ly new phases brought up by the French
note to the powers. There is no doubt as
to the accuracy of the foreign dispatches
stating that M. Deloasse, the French
minister OF foreign affairs, has addressed
note to the powers proposing general
plan Of dealing with the subject This
note undoubtedly Will be In the hands of
this government by the time the Presi-
dent returns and already there is consid-
cradle anxiety in foreign quarters as to
the answer the United States will make.
A question has arisen as to whether the
note Will be accepted by some of the fore
most continental powers of Europe.
There is reason to believe that some of
them do not view all of the French pro-
posals with favor, and that there may be
a renewal In this note of the differences
of views recently developed over the Ger
man note.s So far as this government is
concerned, however, there is no reason
to believe the French proposition w1lI
meet with disfavor.
Meantime plans are under consideratto
by which the powers will see that China
carries out her purposes of furnishing the
guilty parties. The sincerity OF China
being accomplished, it is felt to be proper
that the punishment she inficts shall
be carried out in such public man.
ner, either with the knowledge of the
foreign ministers or In their presence,
that there can be no question as to the
completeness Of China's reparation. The
German government desires that this
course be epursued and there appears to
be a general disposition to adopt some
such proposition for the punishments.

long for return TO the old style OF liv

WANT THE EDUCATORS.
Central Is Backing Up the City in
the Effort to Get Them.

The Central Railroad is doing its ut
most to support the city in the effort to
induce many of those who attend the
National Educational Convention in
Charleston next month to visit Slvan-
nah. Invitations have gone out from sew
eral of the organizations here, ard these
are being suppl menled by literature fur
nished by the passenger department of
the railroad.
The Central wants delegates to stop
over here 10th ways and it has mailed
invitations to all the prospective ones
whose names could be secur- d. There are
thousands who viii attend so the task
was no easy one. The city would profit
greatly if any considerable number should
accept the invitation, and it is hoped the
teachers and professors will regard it ia
vorably. The railroads do not offer d YER
sihed routes. and those visiting Charles
ton may return by the same routes the.
go to that city.
