Copyright. 1000, the Associated Press.)
Berlin, Aug 1.-THE belief still pre-
va;is here that the allied forces have
not undertaken the Pellin advance. and
that the recent actions at Peit Sang
and Yang Use Sun were solely meant
TO secure the strategic tenure OF Tien
Tsin against the Chinese troops sent
from Pekin or from the south, as Yang
Tsun dominates both railroad and river
communication. The military authori-
ties here also maintain that an advance
upon Eekin with the present forces
ana lacking an officer in chief COM
mand would be equivalent to failure
ana enormous losses. The Foreign Of
flee wholly distrusts the reliability of
the news that Ii Hung Chang has been
empowered TO negotiate for peace, and
the German press comedies in that
view.
UNCLE SAM SATISFIED.
The news received here that the Uni
ted states is satisfied with the appoint
mcnt OF Field Marshall Count Won
Waldersee to the chief command OF the
allied forces has created deep salts
faction, as, for time. it was feared
the United States might with Great
Britain object, thus frustrating mill
tary harmony.
WANTS. ~ GET CLEAR.
The news cablcd here that the United
States is now DESTROYS of bringing
about clear diplomatic understand
ing regarding the intended extent OF
the expedition, is received by the For
eign Office favorably, since the aims
of the United States, viz: the rc-es-
Establishment of order, the awarding of
damages to Americans for injury and
guarantees against the recurrence of
q &c
Foreign Office declares, with the Ger
man program. 1t is here surmised,
however. that such diplomatic negotia-
tons will not meet the appreciation
OF Great Britain and Russia whose
enormous sacrifices In men and money
owing to Chinese troubles seem indeed
worth some equivalents. Regarding
Great Britain's apparent designs upon
the Yang Use VALLEY, particularly
Shanghai. Germany will not allow
their realization. and in this France
supports Germany, and. II is hoped
here, the United States will also do so,
since such action contravcncs the open
door policy.

Simla, Oct. o2.-The viceroy, in a
speech before the council, said the
famine had affected q quarter of the
population Of India, and that even now
1000, 900 people were receiving relief
HE expressed the hope, however, that
within a month these would return to
their homes. He said that half mil
lion deaths were traceable to the
famine and that the loss involved was
fifty millions of sterling, plus some
millions for loss of cattle.
Abiding to the shocking mortality
in the native states, the viceroy said
that no relief system in the world
could counteract the effects OF the
reduced food, the cessation of wages,
high prices, and the breaking up OF
the homes of millions, or prevent pes
thence following famine.

Cabinet Pleased with Outlook.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Thc cabinet
meeting was devoted principally to the
consideration of the Chinese situation.
After the meeting members seemed
impressed with the favorable turn
matters had taken and the prospect OF
satisfactory adjustment. The gov
ernment has received the proposals OF
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
offering indemnity and guarantees for
the future and they have been accepted
in good faith. The cabinet considered
that the Chinese government in ad-
hitting that it had been in the wrong
and in offering to make proper repara-
ton as well as Offering to provide
against a repetition of disorders had
placed itself in the proper position and
had opened the way to negotiations
for complete settlement. For the
present the negotiations will proceed
through Minister Conger

TWO NEGOTIATIONS At ONCE.
The French Proposition Is Favored
In Washington.
PREPARE FOR FUTURE WORK

Washington, Oct. 20.-Minister Con-
ger has communicated by cable the
substance of certain propositions adj
vanccd by Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang as basis for the conduct of
negotiations for the settlement of the
Chinese trouble.
Minister Wu called at the state dc
partment by appointment and had =
long conference with Secretary Hay.
The secretary previously had spent an
hour with the president at the White
House, presumably in the consideration
of Mr.. Congcrs communication and 1t
is believed that Minister WI was called
to the department to throw light upon
some of the detailed propositions.
There is reason to believe that the
government will take favorable action
on the latest proposition of the French
government. This contemplates that
opening of peace negotiations on those
points which the powers are agreed
upon, leaving to the ministers at
Pekin the details of working out
further agreement on those points
which the powers made reservations
upon. This would make practically
two negotiations going on at the same
time, one concerning the points OF
agreement, which would have to be
adjusted in China, and the other by the
ministers at Pclsin with u view to
securing an agreement pi PREVIOUS to
submitting it to China. There is felt
to be no inconsistency in having this
double work proceed concurrently and
it has the advantage of getting
the peace negotiations actually under
way.
About the most serious obstacle
which now stands in the way of inn
mediate peace negotiations is the alb
sence of the imperial family from
Pekin, and the doubt this creates as to
full approval being given to the work
of the Chinese plenipotentiaries, yet
the powers have looked upon the pres
ence of the emperor at Pekin as an
almost indispensable requisite toward
giving the negotiations complete cffi-
cacy. In this connection, the presence
OF the emperor might have signi-
canoe considerably beyond anything
thus far brought out, in the way OF
firmly re-establishing his imperial
authority and freeing it from the
intrigues and anti-foreign influences
which have for the last two years
practically nullified his rule.

Steamer From SkaRMay.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 1S-The steam-
ship City of Seattle has arrived from
Skagway with 2s2 passengers and
$3.50, 900 in treasure. OF the latter
sI9s, 900 was consigned to the Selby
Smelling works of San Francisco and
the remainder to local banks and pri'
vate parties. The strike on the Chilkat
river is characterized as something
good. While as yet bed rock has not
been reached the entire district shows
fine prospects. The Seattle left Skag-
way on October and at that time ice
was already forming in many of the
streams emptying into the Yukon. II
Is expected that navigation will close
October 90, or thereabouts.

Marchers Meet Troops.

Lansford, Pa, Oct. 1s.-More than
1000 striking mine workers made de-
scent upon the ten collieries Of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation company
in the Panther Creek Valley. They
came to this place by two separate
roads. One crowd shut up the Mes
quehoning colliery, while the other
mob was driven back to Tamaqua and
dispersed by battalion of troops after
an exciting time. No one was hurt.
Strikers were scattered over the various
roads, and companies of soldiers were
scurryine in all directions heading of
the marching men. The troops were
patient with the mob of strikers,
while the labor men were very careful
not to commit overt acts in the pres
ence of the troops.

May Be A FULL YEAR YET
Before The Opening OF The New
Country.
INDIANS MUST BE LOCATED

Washington, Oct. 2..-Thc opening
TO settlement of the Kiowa, Comanchc
and Apache reservation in Oklahoma
is still matter of doubt and pcrplex-
ity. From the best information OBJ
tainable Mt the interior department 1t
will be impossible to have everything
ready for the opening until some time
next year. 1t was hoped that all the
necessary field work could be done IN
time to announce the opening for early
next spring, but it will probably be
summer or early autumn OF 1901 before
the date is finally fixed Many in
auiries have been received at the office
of the commissioner of the general
land office, all of which are answered
in stereotypel way, to the effect that
no settlement or location 10y outsiders
upon the lands of the reservation will
be permitted until after the allotmcnts
90 the Indians have been made and
after proclamation of the president,
and in pursuance of such rules and
regulations as may hereafter be issued
by the commissioner and approved by
the secretary of the interior.
The department has given assurances
to all inquirers that the work of allot-
ment is going forward in satisfactory
manner, but no information can be OBJ
tanned as to the probable date of the
opening, as the department officials
claim that they cannot themselves
figure with any certainty how soon the
allotments will he completed.

ONE POINT IN DISPUTE.
Operators Considered Prioo OF Powder In
10 per Cent Raise.


Scranton, Pa, Oct. 20.-The repre-
sentatives of the larger coal companies
after their meeting stated in reply to
inquiries, that they had offered their
men 10 per cent advance as indicated
by the notices they had posted, that
this notice specifically stated that the
reduction of powder from 81. rs to sl.5O
would be considered in arriving at the
wages of their contract miners. On
this point President Mitchell is report
cd as saying that the resolutions of the
Scranton convention contemplated n
straight advance of ten per cent for all
parts of the region and that the matter
OF having this increase made in part of
a decrease in cost of powder, in these
upper regions where powder is sold for
$2.7 keg, was not agreed to. The
powder question they, one and all said,
was left out of the present negotiations
with the understanding that it should
form one of the grievances to be ad-
justed in the conferences which the
offer says the operators agree to have
with their men Ito take up any gricv
ances they may have.
