RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
No Desire to 20 Back to the Old Meth

No Desire to go Back to the Old Method
A year ago, when the rural deliv-
cry routes were established from
Burgettstown and the additional
ones from Washington, Congress
man 4. f. Acheson said that the in
crease of routes would be continued
until Washington county would be
completely served by.rural carriers.
The service since that time has
been extended until Washington
county is the best served Of any
county in the United States, saws
the Pittsburg Times, yet Mr.. Ach-
eson has presented petitions to the
postoffice department for the estab
lishment of more rural routes, and
the petitions for some OF them have
been entertained, with the announce
ment that the inspectors will come
pretty soon to lay out the schedules.
The success of the work in Wash
ington county is encouraging the
extension Of the service, and the ex-
tension comes solely from the petit
tions of the patrons of the postoffices
in the county. When the residents
of one community see how well their
neighbors are served in the section
which has the free delivery, they
ask for it, and it is granted. So far
there has been no evidence of de
sire to 90 back to the old methods,
and the enlargement of the expert
ment to cover one of the most popu-
lous counties of the United States,
is significant of what is bound to be
the mail delivery scheme of the flu
ture throughout the whole state and
in all states where the population is
dense enough to at all Justify the es
tablishment of routes.

people have been disappearing this
town recently in regard TO the small
pox scare. One man when he arrived
there was informed that it was no use
for him to try to come home as the
town was quarantined and that he
would be refused admission to the
town. He telephoned home and found
out that this was lie out Of whole
cloth. He was then told that there
were large number of cases here.
This was found to be worse lie than
the first. Travelling men all say when
they get here that they expected TO
see the whole town down with the
disease. Cur neighbors should be
more careful about what they tell.
1t would be bad enough If it were
true.

ASSAULT ON MR.. HANNA.
Ten.Pound Cake Of Ice Thrown, Mar
rovvly Missing His Head.

CHICAGO. Oct. 4-Senator Marcus A.
Hanna was the target for a ten-pound
chunk of ice tonight at the Thirtv-first
ward Republican meeting, Sixty-fifth and
Halstead streets. The missile was dropped
through an aperture in the tent directly
over the speakers stand 1t did not miss
Hanna's head over two inches, and had
1t struck him would have knocked him
Gown and probably fractured his skull.
The police who surrounded the speakers
stand were astounded for a moment and
then made a rush for the street. Senator
Hanna retained his composure and quietly
seated himself while Representative James
X. Mann went on with the speechmaking.
The police found the place where the ice
had been placed on the sidewalk, but could
get no trace of the person who threw IL.
Senator Hanna left the tent escorted and
protected by double row of police. AS
he rolled away in his carriage there were
cries of How would you like to be the
ice man, Mark"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Following is the
text of the American reply to the German
note delivered to-day by Secretary Hay
to Baron Speck Won Sternberg, the Ger
man charge d'affaires:
''The Secretary of State to the Imperial
German Charge:
Memorandum in response to the inqui-
ries made of the secretary of state Oct 2.
1900. by the imperial German charge daft
fares touching the Chinese imperial edict
in regard TO the punishment of Prince Tuan
and other high Chinese officials.
''The Chinese minister communicated to
the secretary of state on the I'd inst.
telegram received by him from Director
General Sheng conveying the purport Of an
imperial ediet dated Sept. Is, 1900, by which
the degradation and punishment of Prince
Tuan and other high Chinese officials is de-
creed.
"The government of the United States is
disposed to regard this measure as proof
of the desire of the imperial Chinese gov
eminent to satisfy the reasonable demands
Of the foreign powers for the injury and
outrage which their legations and their ma
tionalities have suffered at the hands of
evii-disposed persons in China, although
it has been thought well. IN view of the
vagueness of the edict in relation to the
punishment which some of the inculpated
persons are to receive, to signify to the
Chinese minister the Presidents view that
it would be most regrettable If Prince
Tuan, who appears. from the concurring
testimony Of the legations in Peking. to
have been one of the foremost in the pro-
ceedings complained Of, should escape such
full measure of exemplary punishment as
the facts warrant, or If Kang VI and Chao
Shu Chiao should receive other than their
just deserts.
With view to forming judgment on
these points the United States minister in
Peking has been instructed to report
whether the edict completely names the
persons deserving chastisement. whether
the punishments proposed accord with the
gravity of the crimes committed, and In
what manner the United States and the
other powers are to be assured that satis-
factory punishment is inflicted.
ut is hoped that Mr.. Conger's replies to
these interrogatories will confirm the gov
ernment of the United States in the opin-
ion which it now shares with the imperial
government that the edict in question is an
important initial step in the direction of
peace and order in China.

APPLICATIONS FOR RELIEF.
Miners File Requisitions for Subsist-
ence at Headquarters.

HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. 4.-No notice has
been taken by the striking miners of the
16 per cent. increase offered by several of
the larger companies. The United Mine
Workers officials are still trying to close
the few mines in operation. President
Mitchell said he had no information to-
day as to the movements of the mine own
ers, other than that in the papers. He re-
marked that the call for an anthracite
miners convention Is not yet in sight.
When the convention is called, however,
Scranton will probably be chosen for il.
Applications by striking miners for relief
are beginning to be received by local
unions in several sections of the anthracite
field.
The United Mine Workers are making
extra efforts to get the men who are still
working in the Panther creek valley to
strike and join the union. More organ
izers have been sent into the valley with
the hope of swinging the $500 men still
working there into line.
President Mitchell said to-day that the
strikers of the Lackawanna valley will
make an effort to outdo the Wilkesbarre
demonstration at Scranton next Wednes-
day. 1t is the intention to have a big pa
rade of miners from the entire Lacka-
wanna valley. A mass meeting will fol-
low. at which President Mitchell and other
mine workers officials will speak.

England" says he, lis the best friend we

to suggest a formal offensive and defensive

pies will need il in their business. 1t is

The convention Of Democratic clubs fair
ly reveled in feast OF Democratic ora
tory yesterday and last night. The Democ-
racy which attended yesterdays meetings
had the privilege of listening to the voices
OF fits most beloved leaders-wiliiam ].
Bryan, Adlai z. Stevenson and Bourks
Cochran. But two things marred the oc-
casion for the Democratic leaders. Ono
was the absence OF w. r. Hearst. the
president of the association. and the other
was the fact that the actual representation
of Democratic clubs from outside the State
was not what had been expected by tie
more enthusiastic OF the local managers.
The convention closed last night with
a speech by the great Cochran, who jour-
neyed TO the city yesterday in his private
car Adlai Z. Stevenson, the vice presi-
Dental candidate, was In the convention
all day, and William Jennings Bryan
came in the afternoon, reaching the city
about 2:40 o'clock. Mr.. Bryan also came
in private car which brought him from
Wisconsin. After arriving in the city
IL was necessary that he should have q
few minutes rest, which he took while
eating luncheon. 1t was o'clock when
he finally reached the convention hall. and
was welcomed by the crowd that had been
growing very restless waiting for him.
The afternoon audience and the one which
attended the closing session of the conven-
tions last night were the largest OF the
two days. The hall was really crowded
yesterday afternoon. Possibly half the
crowd was composed Of women. some OF
whom stood up in the aisles while Bryan
made a speech Of more than an hours
length.
Among the things which transpired yes
terday were reports from the different
committees. including a set OF resolutions
which will be found In full in these COLI
umns. During the day there were speeches
galore, among them being remrrks by
Augustus Thomas. the playwright. of New
York, and speeches by three women. There
was also a speech by a negro. one Milton
Turner. The absence OF w. r. Hearst
remained unexplained. further than that
IL was said he was i'll. Some had hoped
and even expected that Mr.. Hearst would
come with the presidential candidate. but
he did not come, and Mr.. Bryan. IL was
said, knew nothing of his whereabouts.

Dreak Camp and Return Home.
MARKLE DEFINES HIS POSITION
HIS COMPANY HAS GIVEN UP HOPE
OF ARBITRATION.
No Attention Paid to Concessions and
No Signs of Convention-Other
Details of the Situation.

HAZLETON, Pa. Oct. Am uprising of
strikers in the Shamokin region seemed
imminent for several hours. late to-day.
and there were forebodings Of serious
clash between armed deputies and a large
body of striking miners. Prompt action
of some Of the cool-headed officials of the
miners organization finally succeeded In
averting the threatened conflict.
About three thousand excited strikers as
sembled at Mount Carmel and, headed by
band of music. started march to Trever-
ton, sixteen miles away, with the avowed
purpose of forcing those at work at the
North Franklin colliery to quit and join In
the strike. This was the only mine In
operation, and the strikers had become
angered at the refusal Of the miners there
to stop work.
The marchers were in an excited and
wrathful frame of mind. When they had
covered three miles of their march they
were met by officials of their organization
who, after persuasion, induced the men to
abandon their proposed trip. The strikers
then turned back, though many did so re-
luctantly.
Meantime several hundred deputies had
and a serious conflict scarcely could have
been avoided had the excited strikers ar
rived at the scene and endeavored to carry
out their threats against the workmen.
Later il was announced that the officials
of the North Franklin, to prevent trouble.
would not operate the mine until the strike
was settled.
General Goblin, as result of this new dis
turbing element, tonight rescinded his
order for Battery C of the National Guard
to return home tomorrow.
Affairs were quiet IN all other sections
of the anthracite field to-day and the
strikers scored important gains in the clos
ing of additional collieries in the Schuylkill
district With cessation of operations
at the North Franklin, all of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Company's thirty-nine
collieries have ceased work.
The present point of attack by the United
creek valley, in the lower Lehigh region.
where the collieries of the .Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company have been in practi-
cally full operation since the strike began
in the other sections. Strenuous efforts are
being put forth to induce the men there
to Quit work and join the union.
President Mitchell to-day said that there
was no immediate prospect Of convention
of miners to consider the concessions Of
fered by the operators. None of the Lacka-
wanna Company's strikers availed them
selves of the offer of increased wages IL
they should return to work by to-day.
