THE VICEROYS' APPEAL
THIS GOVERNMENT WILL PAY NO
ATTENTION TO 1T.
It 10 Out of It's Province to Interfere
With the British Program as
to Shanghai.

1t Is stated officially that this government
will pay no attention whatever to the re-
cent appeal from China, transmitted In the
form Of memorial from the southern vice
roys, begging the United States to use its
influence against the landing of British
troops in the Yangtse valley. 1t urged upon
this government the serious consequences
that would follow the landing of British
force at Shanghai, and represented that
the preparations already made had induced
a panic among the resident Chinese and
would paralyze commercial activity in that
part of the empire almost much as
formal declaration of war by Great Britain
This government decided, however, that not
only would it be entirely out of its province
to interfere with the British program in
southern China, which was being carried
forward by Admiral Seymour on the ground
with the full knowledge of local conditions.
but in view of China's present recalcitrant
attitude and the lack up to date of even an
acknowledgment of our latest demand con-
corning the safety of our minister the
United States was not inclined to shoulder
any of China's troubles with Great Britain
any of the other powers. Consequently
the appeal of the viceroys will be ignored.
Surprised at Russfa's Action.
The action of the Russian government in
authorizing M De Giers to start from Pc
kin for Ten Tsin under Chinese escort
causes No little concern and surprise IN on-
cial circles here, as it is Numerically OPP
posed to the course of the other govern
ments, although there is no disposition to
question the good faith which has inspired
it. The officials say that it's only effect is
to leave NJ. De Giers acting independently
and upon his own discretion. If he deter
mines to leaye Pekin with a Chinese guard
and succeeds in getting through to Tien
Tsin it at least will have demonstrated
that this course is less hazardous than has
been supposed. The position of the United
States authorities is unchanged, however,
in declining to entertain the idea of allow
ing Minister Conger to leave under Chi
neSe escort.

Gen. Miles Gives His Opinion.

The lieutenant general per Endorsement
dated June %, 1900, remarks as follows:
"A provost marshal should not he re-
garded as exercising command over troops
except by special assignment by proper au-
thority. AS staff officer of a commanding
officer. he may be authorized in the per-
Torrance of his legitimate duties to call
upon the commander of troops assigned tn
provost duty for the execution of some par
ticular work, the commander of the troops
and not the provost marshal, being respon-
sibe to their common superior for its
proper performance. 1t does not appear
that an order from competent authority az
required by section I, act of April % 1885
was issued assigning Mai. SHarrison to the
command of any organized body Of troonS
which would entitle him to compensa tipn
above that pertaining to his grade

What the Controller Thinks.
In his opinion the controller saws:
1T is not necessary to consider the oues
ton whether the troops assigned to NJ, tor
Harrison to assist him in preserving order
were sufficient in number to form a repi-
ment, as it does not appear that thew were
organized and operated as regiment To

section I of the act Of April 26, 1898. the
command must be exercised, according to
law, under assignment in orders issued by
competent authority, and must be "a com
mand above that pertaining to his grade
THE fact that an officer may have under
his direction or control twelve or more
companies does not constitute such number
of troops a regiment so as to entitIe such
officer to the pay of a colonel. There must
be a regimental organization of the fuII
minimum strength in order to constitute
the appropriate command of a colonel with

SITUATION AT WILKES-BARRE.
Miners Claim to Be Able to Hold
Out Four Months.

Wilkes Barre, Sept. 23.-Tomorrow's
developments at the mines in this re-
gion will be awaited with a great deal
of interest and not a little apprehen-
sion. The operators will neither deny
or affirm the report that they intend
to start up some of their collieries to-
morrow. It is the general opinion that
if they make the attempt there is like
ly to be trouble.
At United Mine Workers headquar-
ters they do not believe that the COM
panies will attempt to resume work
In the first place the officers Of the
United Mine Workers say there will
be no men to operate the mines unless
they are brought from outside places,
something which is not likely to hap
pen, and in the second place the en-
ployes now out on strike are so firm
that it will be impossible for the Oper-
ators to break their ranks at this early
stage of ther game.
The Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal
company is operating a washery at
Ashley employing about twenty hands.
Saturday night when the men employed
at the place returned home they were
stoned by some boys and women. If
the men report for work tomorrow
there may be serious trouble The
strikers employed at the mines in Ash
ley held a big meeting tonight and
resolved to remain out and not to re-
turn to work until their demands are
granted. 1t was stated in the meering
that the men could hold out for four
months at least without serious incon-
VenienCe to themselves or families.
