Berlin, October Git was agcertained
at the German foreign office today by the
correspondent of the Associated Press,
that all the powers have agreed to the
proposals of the second German note,
with the exception Of Great Britian from
whom no answer has yet been received to
either the first or second note Of Ger
many. The foreign Office, however, ex-
poets Great Britain's adhesion to the Sec
ond note and still looks for reply to the
first.
With reference to the statement, cabIsd
from America, that Great Britain has
acteu as a mediator in effecting an un-
derstanding between Germany and the
United States, high foreign office
official said that nothing was officially
known regarding such a service, If 1t had
been rendered, and that, as matter Of
fact, there was no necessity whatever for
a mediator. The latter statement was
corroborated by the British am bassador,

nFEcIAL 10 THE PREss.1

Lewiston, October 9.-This evening
Cornelius Murray, a barber of this city,
attempted to kill Belle Nelson, a woman
with whom ne has been living, and it is
believed he then intended to commit sui
eide. Murray has been drinking heavily for
several days. Late this afternoon he pur-
chased a 32-caIiOre bull dog revolver, and
filling pocket with cartridges he start
ed for Park street, where the woman
lived. He called the woman to the door,
and after telling her he was going to kill
herzand to prepare to Ole, he drew the re-
voIVer and pulled the trigger. In pulling
back the hammer Of the revolver he only
half cooked it and it did not explode the
cartridge. The woman caught hold of
Murray and a scuffle ensued, and in
some way Murray got hold of bottle
and struck the woman a fearful blow on
the head. Her screams brought assis-
tance and Murray fed. At last reports
he had not been found, but it is under
stood be is in hiding in Auburn. Today
Murray told a friend that he was going
to murder the Nelson woman and then
put himself out of the way. His reason
for doing so, he said, was because she
had caused his ruin. He said that unJiI
he had met the woman about a year ago
he was respected and prosperous and that
his present misfortunes were all due to
her. The man to whom he told this did
not suppose he was serious in what he
said. The woman who before living
with Murray was known as Mrs. Belle
Nelson, has been somewhat notorious
character about town. NIurray's home is
III Biddeford, but he has been working at
his trade in this cityTfor several years. &.

THE MINERS TO SAY.
Mitchell Says 1t Rests with Them to De-
clare Strike or.

Shamokin, Pa, October 9.-President
Mitchell OF the United Mine Workers, who
come here today to take part N a labor
demonstration was welcomed in an en-
thusiastic manner by the thousands of
striking mine workers. He arrived at
noon and was mes by local reception
COMMITTEES headed by John Fahey, pres1-
dent OF the SchuylkiII district.
The parade was started at two O'Clock
and fully 5000 strikers were in line.
When the procession reached the soldiers
and soldiers monument, where the mass
meeting was held, large crowd had
assembled there to hear the labor leaders
speak.
John Fahey was chairman Of the meet
ing and introduced District President
r. B Nichols, who assured the assembled
miners that the stories Ia circulation in
the Schuylkill valley to the effect that
the upper region men were wavering,
was absolutely untrue. He added that
the strikers from the northern part of
the anthracite fields would stand by the
men in the SchuyIkll DISTRICT to the very
end.
President Mitchell was enthusiastically
assem- bIage. He spoke of the enth usi-
asm displayed by the men throughout
the anthracite strike region. In refer
ring to the prospective ending Of the
strike, he said:
'Every other strike that has taken
place in the anthracite region has been
declared oil by our officers. Heretofore
when men went on strike, they remained
out for a time and then the chief execu-
tive or the executive board declared the
strike off without consulting the wishes
of the strikers. I want to say as have
said before, that this strike Will never
end until the miners, through delegates
in convention, end it for themselves. We
have called a convention and you men
are invited to send delegates there. You
arc invited to pass Judgment on the
operators proposition. If you believe
that they act in good faith; If you believe
ten per cent enough il you believe that
they will pay the ten per cent for a year,
then you must decide whether to return
to work. On the other hand, If you re-
Ject the offer and continue on strike
John Mitchell will be there to help you
do it. 1 do not expect that this one strike
Will eradicate all the wrongs from which
you suffer. do not believe that The accu-
mutation Of 40 years of injustice can be
wiped out at once, but do believe that
you have established an organization
here that with each succeeding year will
give you improved conditions of employ
manf.

REPLY TO FRENCH NOTE.
Cabinet Has Decided What 1t WIN
BE.

Washington, October 9.-The cabinet
meeting which occupied about two and
half hours, was devoted almost excIu-
siveIy to a discussion of the Chinese stu
alton. Special consideration was given
TO the French note and it is understood
that a more or less definite conclusion
was reached as to the nature of the reply
which VIII be made by this government,
but it has not yet been put In diplomatic
form. Its purport Will not be made pub
lie for the present.
1t developed today that Mr.. Conger, in
compliance withEa suggetion from Score
tary Hay. had submitted to the State De-
partment a list of ten or twelve names Of
Chinese officials who were prominent in
the Boxer movement against the foreign
ers and in great measure were respon-
sible for the assaults upon the legations
in Pekins These officials, Mr.. Conger be-.
lieves. should be included with Prince
Tuan and others in any punishments
which are to be inflicted upon those who
took prominent part In the Pekin out
RACES.

this government, in regard to the punish
ment OF these officials will be stated in
reply to- the French note.
Thiebaut, the French charge d'affaires
called on Secretary Hay late in the day,
but learned that final action had not yet
been taken on the French note and that
it would be some days before the response
would be ready. The constitutional ques-
tions involved require further time for
consideration. In high diplomatic quar-
ter the suggestion was made today that
the powers send a special envoy to Sinan
Fu, the new abode of the imperial family
with a collective note urging the return
of the emperor to Pekin and giving
guarantees FOR the personal safety of the
imperial household. Such an envoy, 1t
was said, could accomplish much more
under the circuitous negotiations
through Chinese officials. The suggestion
also was made that Chan Chi lung, the
viceroy of one of the southern provinces,
would be we'll qualified to execute such q
mission If the powers could be brought
together In a collective request.
