PRESIDENT MITCHELL
Pleased With the Action of the Att IT .
 cite Operators

Hazleton, Pa, October 1.-The news from Philadelphia today that the Philadel- phia and Reading Coal and Iron Company had agreed to the anthracite miners prop ostion, brought forth many expressions of surprise that it should come so soon after the convention.
 President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers would say only that he was glad indeed to know that the anthracite opera tors had decided to change the notices pre- viously posted.
 It is generally believed that the big coal carrying railroads that mine coal will quickly follow the Reading Company and grant acceptance of the proposition, and that all other operators will do the same.
 The first companies in the HaZelton re- zion to take action similar to that or the Reading Company were Calvin Pardee and Company, operating the Lattimer col lieries, and the A. Pardee and Company, owners of the Cranberry mines, both indi- Vidual concerns. The notices announcing acceptance which will be posted tomorrow, are follows:
 ''We hereby withdraw our offer of Octo- Der and make the following announce ment to our mine employees:
 The sliding scale under which we have been working Is hereby suspended and We will adjust the rate of wages so as to pay to our HlHe eInployes lroin octoper' l9V', to April 1, 1901 and thereafter and until further notice, net increase of 10 per cent over the wages paid for September, 1900."
 These companies will reduce the price of powder from s2.75 to $1.5O, which reduction Is to be considered in arriving at a net increase in wages.
 The news from Philadelphia spread through the entire region with almost lightning rapidty. Everywhere satisfac- tion was expressed by the striking miners and others It is confidently believed that the strike will be officially declared off this week and that all the men will have a chance to return to work by Monday.
 President Mitchell informed all inquirers today that the strike would be declared off by noon, but the United Mine Workers of- f1cial added that no mine worker should return to the mines until a notice to that effect is issued from labor headquarters

HEALTH OF HAVANA
Yellow Fever is R Rapino Despi Com
 trary Reports

New York, October 1.-The Evening Post prints today accounts received by mail Of yellow fever in Havana. The Posts article says in part that the disclosures made by mail advices show a startling condition of the health of Havana. and suburbs as well as an apparently concerted attempt of au- thorities and hotel proprietors to suppress the facts The facts are that yellow fever Is now raging not only in the districts where 1t Is yearly expected, but in places that have been considered safe from it's raids; from seventy to ninety cases were under treatment on October 10.
 While the death rate has been compara- lively low, the fever having appeared for the most in mild form the infection of these parts of the town and the suburbs is said to have caused consternation.
 Letters also show that a faithful account given by the Associated Press representa- tive has been denied but private persons say they are willing if necessary, that their names should be used to corroborate the statement of the perilous condition of Ha- vana for visitors at this time, and all that the physicians are unwilling to give any permission to foreigners to enter the city before February.

 Arrangements.

Lexington, Va, October 1.-The death of Hon. William L. Wilson, president of the Washington and Lee University, and ex- Postmaster General, which occurred sud- denly at 9:2O o'clock this morning was due to congestion of the lungs. He had been failing ever since his return from Ari- zona His son, Dr. Arthur Wilson of Lynchburg, visited him Sunday and left Monday. Then came the sudden change. MT. Wilson's attendant physician did not give up hope of his rallying until late last night. He was confined to the house from Tuesday a week ago but was thought to be improved when his son left him.

the Chancellor, having vainly endeavored to inculcate more sober and dispasisonate views regarding the China outrages.
 Nearly all summer Prince Hohenlohe was away on his German, Russian and Austrian estates, leaving the Emperor and Count von Buelow to conduct the policy of the em- pire to suit themselves. Moreover, In addi- ton to increasing and prolonged fights of somnolence, the prince has recently dis played exceeding physical weakness. The members of his family have all along been strongly urging him to retire from official life and to pass the remainder of his days in quiet.
 The final parting with the Emperor was cordial. At supper last evening at Hon. burg, the Emperor, after toasting the prince, thanked him warmly for the serv- ices he had rendered and kissed him on both cheeks.
 The Kolnische Zeitung asserts that Count von Buelow has also been appointed Prus- sian minister resident and foreign minister.
 Nothing is known positively about Prince Hohenohes successor, although general credence Is given to the assertion of the Kolnischner. Hhe Berliner Tageblatt men, tions Prince Gutenberg, German ambassa- dor at Vienna; Prince Hohenlohe Landen- byeg, the stadtholder of Strasburg, and Duke Trechenberg as possible successors to the chancelorship. It Is suggested that if Co,Nnt BueloS becomes chancellor, Prince Eulenberg might be assigned to the foreign office.

Lehigh Company Will Grant Similar
 Concessions to Miners

Philadelphia, October 17.-No formal an nouncement has as yet been made by the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company regard ing its intentions, but after the Reading Company's statement had been made pub lie Vice President Garrett of the Lehigh Valley said:
 Concerning our operations in the Schuylkill region our action will be similar 10 that of the Reading Company. In other districts, however, certain conditions ex- ist, for instance, the price of powder which must be treated separately, and we have not decided definitely with regard to that"
 Calvin, Pardee and Company, extensive Individual operators in the Hazelton re- gion, late this afternoon, announced that they will post tomorrow notices similar to that issued by the Reading Company. This undoubtedly indicates what all the indi- vidual operators will do.

Former Senator Sherman Has Collapsed
 Condition Serious

Washington, October n.-Former Cabinet Officer and Senator John Sherman is dan gerously i'll at his residence on K street in this city.

VIII Inatst on Open Door

New York, October T.-No concealment Is made at the State Department, says a Washington special to the Journal and Ad- vertiser of the determination of the United States to insist upon the fudfllment of the pledges given by the powers for the main- tenance of the "open door" on Chinese soil, whether parts of the present territory of China are annexed to other sovereignities or not. A determined stand will be made by the United States against the partition of the Chinese empire, in accordance with the purposes set forth in the note of Sec retary Hay on July 8.
 The United States have not thought it necessary to make the maintenance of the ''open door, subject of consultation with the powers, preliminary to general negotia- tions with China. The "open door" is suf- ficently assured by the pledges given last winter provided the integrity of China IS maintained. If any proposition should be made by any of the powers which might seem to conflict with all in maintaining the "open door," it would be resisted by the American representatives and thorough understanding would be reached before such proposition was considered.
