CHICAGO. Sept. 19-William H Piper,

Governor Nash at Columbus. O., detailing
the recent mobbing of Dowieite ministers
at Mansfield and appealing 10 him for
military protection for ministers of Dowie's
church, who will, according TO Overseer
Piper, conduct services in Mansfield next
Sunday. The telegram says that I'VE shall
never cease to demand our right TO pro-
claim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the
members of our church in Mansfield. If
the people do not wish to come to hear. 1t
is their privilege TO stay away" The tele-
gram says in conclusion: Il believe that IL
will be necessary. in order TO put down the
awful spirit of lawlessness that has been
reigning in Mansfield for these two months.
that you keep the militia there for some
days, really over Lords day. the 30th inst.
1t is certainly beyond any question that the
situation i'm Mansfield now imperatiyely
demands that you should call out the

and property in that city"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Chinese
situation has suddenly become complicated.
just as hopes were being raised that all
danger of further complications were past.
Prince Ching has asked the United States
TO begin negotiations Immediately through
Minister Conger. England demands that
the Chinese Emperor return to Peking be-
fore negotiations begin. Germany demands
as q condition precedent to the beginning
of negotiations that members Of the Chi
nese government who were guilty of plan
ming and executing the attacks on the lega-
tions and the massacre of foreigners be
punished. Ii Hung Chang says that to
comply with Englands demand would be to
establish two governments in China-one at
Peking. with the Emperor at It's head. the
other elsewhere. with the dowager Empress
at its head. Minister wu says Germany's
demand is aimed at the dowager Empress
and Prince Tuan, and cannot be complied
with. So the final settlement and return
to normal conditions seem as far OF as
ever.
An important conference over the answer
to the German note was held at the White
House tonight. The parties to the coz
ference were the President, Attorney Gen.
eral Griggs, the only Cabinet officer in
the city. DR.. Hill. acting secretary of state.
Assistant Secretary of State Adee and
General Corbin, who. by executive order.
is acting secretary of war. The President
entertained these gentlemen at dinner. and
the subsequent conference lasted until IL
O'clock. At its close one of the participants
said no final action had been taken. 1t
is understood. however, that the answer
of this government, as now framed, is in
effect diplomatic refusal to accede to
the German proposal.

President Mitchell Says All Miners

HAZLETON. Pa. Sept. l9.-The third day
of the strike passed of as quietly as the
two preceding days. Beyond the occasional
stoning of mine worker going TO or from
his work there has been no disorder. IL
was estimated tonight that about 20 per
cent. OF the mine workers OF this region
were idle to-day. which is quite an increase
over yesterdays figures. President Mitchell
did not issue a formal statement tonight
because of his absence from headquarters
He said. however. that from reports he had
received he figured on more than Izsooo be-

many and Great Britain stand aligned
against France and Russia. while both
sides are ardentIy seeking the adherence
of the United States government. The issue
appears to be made up in such shape as TO
dismiss further hope Of attaining that har-
mony OF action respecting China that the
President has been seeking so far, and the
point apparently has been reached where
the United States must take sides at
once proceed 20 act entirely independent Of
other powers in reaching a settlement. The
Chinese government is urging the latter
course upon the State Department, but
thus far there has been a restraining force
i'm the desire to avoid making the United
States the first of the powers to break the
solid front that has been maintained UP to
the present time in dealing with China. In
deed. the general impression is that the
German note has brought the Chinese
trouble to an acute crisis as far as the
United States government is concerned.
This conclusion is based on the belief in
official circles that the Chinese government
cannot accept the German proposition, so
that 1t Is now for the United States gov
ernment either to withdraw its forces from
China Immediately or TO join Germany and
England. and perhaps some other of the
allied powers, in a prolonged war with
China.
Baron Won Sternberg, the German charge
d'affaires, just returned to Washington,
called early at the State Department to-
day TO talk with Mr.. Adee, the second
assistant secretary OF state, in explana-
tion of the points of the German note.
Mr.. WI. the Chinese minister. had pre-
oeded him. showing visible signs of nerv-
BUSINESS and disquietude over this last
move. Mr.. Adee made an appointment for
him with DR.. Hill. who. having recovered
from his indisposition. is acting as secre-
tary of state. Then Mr.. Adee repaired
to the White House to communicate TO
the President the substance of the con-
versations he had with the two diplomats
and TO assist in considering the German
note. He refused to discuss the latter pub
licly in any phase.
Attention was directed in some quarters
to the fact that in the note of July 3
Secretary Hay had notified the Chinese
government that he expected the guilty
parties in connection with the outrages
would be punished. However, this demand
was not made a condition precedent to
negotiations. Now the belief is growing
that if the United States government is
forced to a speedy decision as TO the Ger
man proposition, it may resort to direct
