Should Meet the Miners.

While it is generally believed that
the coal operators will be found missing
at the joint conference called for Mon
day next by the United Mine Workers.
it is the earnest wish of the miners and
the business people of the coal fields
that such will not be the case. The
operators, or their representatives, will
suffer no loss of dignity in accepting the
very courteous invitation of the miners
to meet and peacefully and fairly dis
cuss the grievances, and if possible
agree upon remedies.
The stand so far taken by the men
has received the unanimous approval of
the press of the region and of all persons
who have carefully followed the course
of events in the mining districts the
past few years. The frankness of the
miners in stating that any demand
made will be withdrawn if shown to be
unreasonable has won for them the
support of every class whose interests
are not bound up in continuation of
the impositions which many operators
have practiced upon their employees.
A strike, or lockout, or labor
trouble of any nature would be calam-
ity. its effect may be judged by ex-
periences of the past and we are salts
fled that every good citizen will do what
he can to bring about condition Of
affairs which will make strike or q
lockout unnecessary in the coal region.
Years ago operators freely met their
workers and settled questions equally as
difficult as the present ones. Why those
who have succeeded them ia the manage
ment Of the mines cannot do likewise,
and thereby prove themselves worthy OF
their positions as employers of labor, is
a question which many people would
like to have answered.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 24.-The steam
ship Tacoma has arrived from Nome
with 600 passengers and S6O0,0OO in gold
dust mostly from the Klondike. A shoot

savagely attacking Keenan, with knife.

Mob Sets a Church on Fire,

Louisville, Aug. 24.-While his church
was burning over his head the Rev. Gay
Bryant, leader of Holiness congrega-
ton ut Shoal Creek, Tenn, preached to
mob of $50 people who had set fire to
the church and was threatening him
with violence. Bryant had been warned
away from the ncighborhood by the peo-
pie who do not approve of the Holiness
faith. but he paid no attention to the
threats While he was preaching to his
people last night the mob formed and
after saturating the foundation of the
frame church with oil set fire to it..
Bryant ran to the door and declared to
the mob that the devil was leading them
in their attack on Gods people. He was
told again to leave the place or he would
get coat of tar and feathers.

"Our troops stormed the eastern gate
of Peking on the canal at 2 o'clock in the

the city, and the Russian flag was the
first to be hoistcd on the walls. The
bombardment of the gate lasted IA
hours. General Wasilewski, commander
of the advanced guards, and Colonel
Modl, commanding the rifle regiment

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Reports at the G. A.

record breaking attendance of visitors
next week. Railroad lines have already
begun the work of transportation. Mon
day it is estimated that the largest
crowd ever brought into the city in n
single day will arrive to witness the
military parade Tuesday. 1t is figured
that Washingtons encampment of 1890
will be surpassed. An attendance of 49,
600 veterans is expected. Other guests
of the city probably will swell the num-
Der of visitors to 100000.

in forcing Roosevelt to give up the
governorship, that fact alone would
make New York a doubtful or prob
ably Democratic state. Could the boss

or because corporations objected to
him, without giving the electoral vote
of New York to Bryan? This ques-

The American people like to have
their own way, but they like still better
to see man who is not afraid of them
They can follow leader, however
much they may disagree from him,
who, when he sees "a plain duty" or
lays down a "cede of morality" will
hold to either even against world of
arms. 1t is certain, therefore, that at
least some of the influences which
have swayed the caucuses and conven-
tions of the Democratic party will be
felt In the campaign and at the polls.
No one can doubt that Mr.. Bryan has
an opportunity to make more favor
able campaign, here in these eastern
states at any rate, than in 1896, when
his personality was unknown and
grossly misconceived, and when even
his patriotism was challenged. More
over, the people of this section under
stand now that he embodies more than
one issue and is the foremost champion
of certain principles which lie at the
foundation Of our republican democra-
cy and which appeal to all Americans
alike, regardless of geographical lines.

RUSSIANS OCCUPY CAPITAL OF AMO0R
They Defeat the Chinese and Inaugurate Wig
orous Measures.
(By the Associated Press

London, July 20.-(4 a. m, Friday.)-
The Russians, according to the latest
news from st. Petersburg, have now COM
pletely defeated the Chinese and have oc-
cuped agovestchensk capital of the
Amur government, with a large force.
Since General Gribski, chief Of staff, has
taken over the supreme command in Han-
curia, reinforcements have been rapidly
pushed up and the general situation has
been greatly improved.
The Russian Minister of the Interior
has issued a notice that the Siberian
Railway is closed to private traffic. There
is little doubt that the Russian authorl-
ties were not prepared for such an or
ganized Chinese movement in Manchuria
but they have taken brisk measures, and
they believe that China will soon be too
much pre- occupied with military opera
tions around Pekin to conduct serious
operations in the North.

dent says:

of Volunteers in order thar


10 ALqI7 ould be commensurate with
his command. This action was received
with great satisfaction at the War De-
partment and in official circles generally
where General Chaffee is held in the
highest esteem. He is considered by his
brother officers as one of the most capa-
BILE and thoroughly equipped soldiers in
the service. Although General Miles re-
commended that Major General Bates now
in the Philippines be assigned to the
command Of the troops in China, he is
well pleased with the promotion Of Gen.
eral Chaffee. His recommendation was
made on the ground that the service
called for required an officer of the rank
of a major general and he named Gen.
eral Bates for the reason mainly that
General Chaffee held only the rank of
Brigadier General.
Adjutant General Corbin has sent a
cable message to General Chaffee notify
ing him of his promotion and he will re-
ceive the telegram on his arrival at Na-
kasaki about the 1st proximo.
At today's Cabinet meeting the ques-
ton of instructions to Major General
Chaffee was gone over at considerable
length and a cablegrGm was drafted
which will be forwarded to reach him on
his arrival at Nagasaki. These instruc-
tions indicate the line Of policy to be pur-
sued by the commander of the United
States forces in China. The exact nature
of the instructions was not disclosed, but
they follow the same line of policy that
already has been outlined in statements
from the State Department.
The rank of major general for the
commander of the Chinese expedition will
necessitate the presence of two or per-
haps three Brigader Generals in China.
These, in all probability, will be chosen
from the officers of that rank now in the
Philippines, but General Chaffee will be
given considerable latitude in the selec-
tion of his staff.
