they do, they have added to the strength
of the strikers. The situation is ex-
trenlely critical. One overt act may pre-
cipitate a crisis. The strike leaders are
taking every opportunity to add to their
numbers. Apparently the men who had
determined to continue work are now
thoroughly frightened and it is doubtful
whether the Reading, or any other COM

Copyright, 1900, the Associated Press.)
The diplomatic and military authorities
here are anxiously awaiting the arrival
Of Ii Hung Chang. There is a general
desire for the establishment of some
semblance of Chinese authority, which
when done, it is believed, will tend to a
clearing of the situation. The military
is deemed unable to secure a return Of
peace to the country. The authority Of
Ii Hung Chang to treat for peace is still
doubted. Referring to this matter the
United States minister said:
"Our first task is to examine and pass
upon the credentials of Ii Hung Chang,
beyond that we have no policy or plan Of
action" n
Mr.. William r. RockhIll special COM
missioner Of the Unitde States in China,

Hazelton, Sept. 25.-A report was re-
ceived from Jeddo that Clement Elliott,
chairman of the grievance committee of
the 1900 Markle employees, had called
the men together this morning and in
formed them that the company had
granted all the demands presented ten
days ago with the exception of the one
calling for a reduction of the price Of
powder, and that the company agreed
to arbitrate this grievance.
John Markle, managing partner of G..
B. Markle & Co., refused either to con-
firm or deny the report. He said he
would deliver the answer to the Asso-
ciated Press at 4 O'clock. The list Of
grievances was presented on September
IA. The men decided to allow the
Markles ten days in which to answer,
and remain at work pending a reply.
They ask for the enforcement of the

the robbing of pillars be paid for dead

until the bottom men get ready; that

possible; that the company provide a

take all tools up and down the slope;
that men receiving $175 day at present
get an advance of per cent, and those
below $1.75 an increase of 10 per cent.

hlGHWAYMEN RUN DOWN,
One Supposed to Be the Northern

Spokane, Sept. 25.-A special to the
Chronicle from Addy, 80 miles north OF
Spokane, says: A desperate battle be-
tween officers and two highwaymen took
place near here last night At the end Of
the fuslade one rObber was dead and the
other so badly wounded he will prob-
ably die. The robbers held up two citi-
zens of Addy last night Deputy Sheriffs
Dudery and Salvade pursued and over
took them. The officers ordered them to
hold up their hands. The robbers pre-
tended to comply, then opened fire. The
officers replied, killing one and crippling
the other and capturing him. Neither
robber has been identified. but it is sUp-
posed that one is the highwaymen who
held up the Northern Pacific train near

ALL COAL GOES UP ST ATOM
DEALERS WILL NOT HOLD TO PREVIOUS CONTRACTS C0NsUM
ERs MUST PAY OR GO COLD.

New York, Sept. 25.-The two qualities
of coal known as pea. and buckwheat,
which are now used for steam generating
purposes. have jumped up 81 ton. Pea
coal now costs the consumer $3.50 and
buckwheat "a. Arising out of this adj
vance, threats of lawsuits against deal

time a large number of dealers. under
stress of competition, have consented to
omit in contracts which they have made
with manufacturers and large Office
buildings the clause which permits them
to break the agreement in case of
strikes But despite the absence of this
clause none of the dealers would supply
coal under their contracts except at the
increased price of 81 ton. The con-
sumers have no alternative except to
submit or go without coal, but many OF
them declared today that they would

men to- live up to their contracts and
to refund money paid beyond the amount
called for In the agreement. The retail
ers profess to stand in no fear of these
actions. Usage of the trade" they as
serted will protect them.

manned unchanged today at 1914 for
white ash and $7.25 for red ash.
Bituminous coal men continue to reap
harvest as a result Of the strike. The
net advance in soft coal since last Friday
averages about so cents ton, and with
matters as they are in the anthracite re-
gions another rise may be looked for.
The soft coal men say that even should
the strike cease they will maintain pres
ent prices, asthe demand for their prod
uct is sufficiently large to enable them
to get the rates asked.

question of re-apnc!n tment of military

concluded.
It was on Dec. 13, 1899, that Emperor
William withdrew Major Baron Won Sus-
KIND, the German military attache in
Paris, on account of attacks that had
been made on the Baron. 1t was not de-
MED that the Dreyfus affair was the i'm

emperor considered that German officers
should not be expected to furnish infor-
nation to the government not consistent
with d nice sense of honor. The duties of

to meet the emperorIs view.

about some of the breakers and the own

and there is no.evidence to-day of dis
position on the part Of a majority, of

the reasons Senator Caffsry gives for de-

San Francisco, Sept. 25.-Trouble Is
brewing among the trans-continental
lines over the division of east-bound SOL
der travel out of this city. It grows
out of the fact that the Santa Fe has
not received it promised 81 per cent. OF
the business since the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company has succeeded in
diverting to the Portland route about 40
per cent of this traffic. 1t is said that
40 men who returned from Manila on the
Grant have refused to be ticketed over
the Santa Fe and may go east by the
northern lines. There is a possibility
that an agreement for the division Of
the soldier business may be cancelled.
