THE FLIGHT OF THE IMPERIAL
 PARTY FROM CHINESE CAPITAL

Tacoma, Wash, October 22-The Oriental liner. Glenogle, which reached Tacoma last night, brings an interesting story of the flight of the Empress Dowager from Pekin. The escape of the court furnishes one of the most entrancing stories of the Chinese campaign. The Shanghai Mercury tells the story follows:
 ''It appears that in accordance with the regular practice of the Chinese officials in similar cases false reports of victories over the allies were persistently rendered to the palace with the result that the court was lulled into a feeling of fancied security, and it was not until the allies had actually entered the capital that the real facts be- came known to the Empress, and rude awakening took place.
 "In the early morning of the 18th of Au- gust the Dowager, in company with the Emperor, left the palace clothed in com mon Chinese cotton garments, travelling in an ordinary Chinese cart and accompanied by an insignificant retinue Such was the hurry of their departure that no money or valuables in any quantity were taken with them, and for several days the imperial party is said to have suffered the greatest

Frankfort, Ky, October 22-The Ken lucky Legislature sent the non-partisan election law passed by 1t on Saturday to succeed the Goebel law to the Governor today, and the Democrats and Republi- cans could not agree on State election commissioner to fill the vacancy on. the board adjourned without electing any body Both houses adopted resolutions Saturday allowing the Republicans to name the com missioner, and they selected Judge Andrew Cochrane of Maysvile. The Democrats refused to vote for Judge Cochrane be- cause of his Identification with ex-Gov- enor Taylor, and because the personal un- friendliness, but offered to vote for any other Republican. The Republicans de- cined to name anybody else.

THE AGREEMENT
Embraces Suggestions Made by the
 United States

Washington, October 22.-The State De- partment made public today the core n- dence which has taken place between itself and the French government since the orig inal French note respecting China, which laid down the terms suggested by France as a basis of negotiations for a settlement. This last correspondence consists of two notes exchanged between Secretary Hay and M Thebeaut last week, putting in for- nal sha pc certain verbal statem ements of im- portance respecting negotiations
 An interesting and importat feature of the United States note is ths closing sugges- tion that the powers bind themselves again to preserve Chinese territorial integrity and to maintain the "open door" exactly the objects aimed at ip the British-German agreement or alliance, which was made public last week.
 While this note by Secretary Hay bears date of October l9 and the British h-German agreement is assigned the date of October I6 the action of this government was taken in ignorance of the agreement and 1t is en. tirely impossible that it may have been the means of bringing about disclosure of it's purposes.
 Our suggestion indicates a favorable re- sponse by the United States government to the invitation to joip yitb Great Britain and Germany in the objects specified. .ag

hardships The only food with which they Were supplied was the common niillet of the country, and at night they had to sleep in wayside inns on the rough brick kangs furnished for the accommodation of tray- elers.
 Among those who accompanied the court were Prince Yuan, Rang Vie and Wang Wenshao and it is said that the Empress, feeling sympathy with the latter on account of his age, urged him to return to his resi- dence athe capital but the old man begged with tears to be allowed to share in the exile of the court The humiliating effect of this experience upon the proud Manchus can better be imagined than described and it has evidently inspired a desire for venge- ance, as Is indicated in the secret orders sent to Li Hung Chang for the recapture Of Tien Tsin and Pekin, as well as by the tone of recent edicts.
 Tn the light of the above narrative the reference in the account given by the Sin .Wen Pao of the reported disgrace of Prince Yuan to the discomforts attending the flight from Pekin affords some circumstantial evidence of the accuracy of that account and the fact that the same paper in it's issue of this morning again refers to the Empress displeasure with the prince adds further weight to its previous statement"

and their sympathzers. The foreigners re- treated to a place of sofety under a shower of stones. One man was badly cut on the head.
 Mayor Nichols of this city says trouble seriously considering a proposition to arm the police force with guns so that they will be able to cope with a mob should they be called upon to quel riot.
 This evening there was another riot at the Stanton Washery of the Lehigh and Wil1esbarre Coal Company. When the workmen started to go to their homes un- the protection of coal and iron police fully 5000 people had gathered. A number of of- ficers were summoned.
 The men who had been at work were put on board of small locomotive, but before the locomotive could get headway some one fired. The police returned the fire. Another voley from the windows of some houses followed Every pane of glass in the locomotive was broken. Two of the workmen on the locomotive jumped off and were knocked down and kicked but were rescued by the police
 Bradley Hoffman was so badly injured that he had to be taken to Mercy Hospital. As the officers were returning, the electric car on which they rode was stoned, all the widows broken and Police Sergeant Hall and two passengers slightly injured. May or Nichols soon reached the scene and warned the mob that they were doing the cause of labor more harm than good. Ha said he was here to uphold the law. His speech did good and the mob slowly dis persed to their homes

RIOTING AT WILKESBARRE
Trouble Breaks Out Among the Discol .
 tented Miners

Wilkesbarre, Pa., October 22.-Discontent among the strikers of the Wyoming valley is growing, and unless the strike is settled soon, they will be hard to control A ma- Jority of the men are willing and anxious to go to work and if President Mitchell should call the strike off tomorrow, even with the powder question unsettled he would receive more credit from his followers than to al- low the contest to drag on with the chance of losing iD the end.
 The diseontent of the strikers was shown a the works of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company in the eastern part of the city this morning. gang of men were go- ing to work to screen coal on the bank of the Empire mine when they were set up- on by mob of men, women and boys.
 During the melee several shots were fired. One bullet grazed the ear of Coal and Iron Policeman Mccall. The mob destroyed all the tools of the workmen The disturbance took place within the city limits and a Csetdchment or police were sent to the scene. When they arrived they found a large crowd of women and boys, but very few men.
 The police found an eflgy of Mine Oper- ator O5Hara hanging to a telegraph pole. There was "a placard on it which read:
 Here lie the remains of O'Hara'
 Owing toethe trouble there no work on the coal bank or at the Stanton wash cry operated by the same company today. The company used the coal screened on thes bank for their boilers, and heretofore the strikers have not objected to the men gathering 1t for that purpose, as 1t was necessary to procure fuel in order that the pumps which keep the mines free of watetr might be kept running.
 A number of Polanders who have been working at the West End Coal Company's colliery at Moenadua all through the strike were returning from Glen Lynn last night when they were held up by some strikers

Formal Response Will be Made
 to Invitation
TIFF BERLIN GOVERNMENT PLEASED
Diplomatic Victory for Won Bue- low-The Press Gives 1t Un-
 qualified Endorsement

Washington, October 22-It was authori- tatively stated tonight that the United States government views with distinct fa- vor the principles enunciated in the Anglo German agreement relating to China and that a formal response to that effect will be made at an early day to the invitation extended to this government to accept the principles of the agreement. The German charge d'affaires, Count de Quadt, had a conference with Secretary Hay this after- noon, presenting officially the text of the Anglo German agreement, including the in- vitation to the United States to accept it.
 MT. Hay expressed his satisfaction at what had been done, saying he felt 1t to be in complete harmony with the policy this government had pursued, both as to the mDtenance of unobstructed commerce in Chin and the territorial entity of the Enl- plre, and adding that formal reply would be given in a day or two. Count de5Quadt was gratified at these assurances, and left with the belief that there was such a hax- moniouS understanding on the general prin- ciples involved that the concurrence Of the powers was near at hand.
 About the only serious question which has arisen as to the American reply was on clause of the agreement This states that in case of another power making use of the combinations in China to obtain territorial advantages, German and Great Britain reserve the right to reach pre- liminary understanding on the eventual step to be taken for the protection of their interests. This is open to the construction of being a threat against other powers, and there was no desire on the part Of the officials here to give American adherence to anything In the nature of a threat. The reply will go beyond accepting the princi- pie that Germany and Great Britain have a right to agree between themselves as to their eventual course.

VICTORY FOR VON BUELOW
View Taken of the New Agreement
 Press Comment

Berlin, October 22.-Although no formal powers regarding the Anglo-German agree ment, Count von Buelow, the Imperial Chancellor, has been assured by the dip lomatio corps here that the several govern ments will readily accede to the arrange ment. This is not surprising because, as pointed out today, the agreement contains only what has been decided in principle by each party involved by the Chinese im- broglio. The agreement, which may be considered Count von Buelow's entree joyeuse into his new office, Is interpreted as another diplomatic victory for him. It is now asserted that the Russian ambas- sador to Germany, who was the first whom Count von Buelow told about the agree ment, giving him oral explanations tend ing to show that it was not directed against Russia-gave assurances amount ing to a declaration that Russia would join in the agreement.
 The papers continue to discuss the situa- ton tonight. While most of them approve the agreement, the AngloPhoebe faction expresses fear that the coolness between Germany and Russia, which arose recently, evidenced by several incidents relating to Count von Waldersee, was intensified by the agreement The liberal organs without exception express approval.
 The Frankfurter Zeitung halls the agree- ment "accentuating the open door ", and confidently predicts that the United States will join The Freissgne Zeitung de- clares that the agreement really amounts to an abolition of the Sphere of interna- tional policy"
 The inspired organs declare in chorus that the agreement Is not aimed at any power, and least of all Russia. They point out the importance of Great Britain's protection of the Yang Tse region, where Germany's trade could be ruined unless the principle of "open door" was maintained.

Judge Da 's Tribute

Canton, Ohio, October 22.-Judge Day, who succeeded the late John Sherman as Secretary of State, in speaking of his death said Tn the death of ex-Secretary Sher- man the country has lost one of it's great est sta tesmen and noble figures. MT Sher- man has been continuously in national af- fairs a greater length of time than any America now living. He became prominent in public life as far back the fifties, when he was a member of the Congressional del egation which visited Kansas to invest- gate the troubles then prevailing there. He helped to form the Republican party, and throughout his long career was one of the most trusted and able leaders. Perhaps his crowning work was as Secretary of the Treasury under President Hays, when he carried to a successful issue the act pro- viding for the resumption of specie pay ment. In a great measure we owe to his firmness and courage the high credit of our country abroad and the sound condition of its finances at home He was indeed a great man and his country will mourn his loss and cherish his memory. His place in history is secure as one of the foremost American statesmen"

Presidents s ccIgmrtion


 Washington, October 22.-The President this afternoon issued the following procla- nation:
 Death of the Hon. John sherman. By the
 President of the United States of Amer
 ica-A proclamation to the people of the
 United States.
 Tn the fullness of years and honors, John Sherman, late Secretary of State, has passed away Few among our citizens have risen to greater or more deserved eminence in the national councils than he. The story of his public life and services is, as it were, the history of the country for half a century. In the Congress of the United States he ranked among the fore most in the House and later in the Sem ate. He was twice a member of the execu- tive cabinet, first as Secretary of the Treasury and afterwards as Secretary of State.
 "Whether in debate during the dark hours of our civil war director of the countrys finances during the period of re- mobilization, or as a trusted counselor Ill framing the nations laws for over forty years, or as the exponent of the foreign policy his course was ever marked by 02" votion to the best interests of his beloved land and by able and conscientious effort to uphold its dignity and honor. His coun- trymen will long revere his memory and see in him the type of the patriotism, the uprightness and the zeal that go 10 mold- ing and strengthening nation.
 "As a fitting expression of the sense of the bereavement that atflicts the republic, l direct that on tbe day of the funeral the executive offices of the United States dis play the national flag at half mast, and that the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall pay in like manner appropriate tribute to the illus trious dead for a period of ten days.
 Done at the city of Washington this 22d day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand and nine hundred and and of the independence of the United States of Amer lea the one hundredth and twenty-fifth. (Signed) CIVILIAN MCKINLEY. By the President
 (Signed) JOHN HAY,
 Secretary of State" In diplomatic circles the news of MT. Sherman's death brought many expressions of heartfelt regret. as the foreign repre- sentatives have been brought into intimate association with him during his service as Secretary of State.
