BOYS ARE ASSAULTED.
Employees Of Wilkes-Barre Washery
Are Pelted with Stones.


by Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
Wilkes Barre, Oct. 4.--This evening,
as agang Of Italian boys were return
ing from work at No. 8 washery of the
Pennsylvania Coal company, at Pitts
ton, they were greeted by fusilade
of stones from behind barricade.
The boys ran and escaped with slight
injuries.
Breaker boys who went out on strike
with the men are charged with the
crime. The bosses were ahead Of the
Italian boys and as soon as they pass
ed out of sight, the stone-throwing
began.
There was some excitement at the
Harry r. colliery, Forty Fort, today.
Some one posted up notice notifying
the men to return to work at once.
The notice was signed, John Mitchell,
president United Mine Workers of
America. The strikers thought some
one was trying to play joke on them,
but to make sure, they telegraphed
to Mr.. Mitchell at Hazleton. He sent
word back that the notice was for
gerry and that the men should not go
to work.
Several small stores in suburban
towns were compelled to close today,
because the wholesale grocers asso-
citation would not give them any more
credit. A number of other failures are
looked for before the week is out.

REPLY TO THE
GERMAN NOTE
fConcludcd from Page IL

The government OF the United States Is dis.
posed to regard this measure as 4 proof OF the
desire OF the imperial Chinese government to
satisfy the reasonable demands Of the foreign
powers for the injury and outrage which their
legations and their citizens have suffered at the
hands Of evil disposed persons In China; although
1t has been thought well, In view Of the vague.
ness OF the cdict in regard to the punishment
which some OF the nculpated persons are to re.
ceive. to signify to the Chinese minister the
presidents view that IL would he most regret.
able II Prince Tuan, who appears from the con.
curing testimony Of the legations in Pckin to
have been one Of the foremost In the proceedings
complained OF, should escape such full measure
OF exemplary punishment as the facts warrant,
or II Kang vi and Chao Su Chao should receive
other than their Just deserts.
With view to forming judgment on these
points the United States minister in Pekin has
been instructed to report whether the cdict com.
pletely names the persons deserving chastisc.
ment; whether the punishments proposed accord
with the gravity Of the crimes committed; and
in what manner the United States and other
powers are to be assured that satisfactory punish.
ment is inflicted.
1t Is hoped that Mr.. Conger's replies to these
interrogatorics will confirm the government Of
the United States in the opinion which 1t now
shares with the imperial German government
that the edict in question is an important initial
step In the direction Of peace and order in China.

Wv )ITH THE public career
AN Of the Republican nomi-
nee for county treasurer,
Hon. j. A. Scranton, we
may safely assume that our readers
are already familiar. Extending over a
period of the third of century, 1t has
been practically co-terminous with the
existence of the Republican party. and
in respect of political activity in be-
half of Republican candidates and par
ty principles, it stands out in clear re-
lief
At the recent primaries, Mr.. Scran-
ton presented himself before the voters
as a candidate for one Of the principal
county offices, an office which he is
thoroughly qualified to fill, and the
emoluments of which represent no more
than a reasonable partial recompense
for political service long performed.
The result of the primaries clearly in
dicates the existence of widespread
desire that past differences within the
local party councils should be healed
up, that representatives of the various
factions should all be recognized in
the construction of the party ticket,
and that the Republicanism of Lacka-
wanna, in this important presidential
year, should present n united front
against the united enemy.
The wisdom of this Judgment is re-
ceiving daily vindication in the grow
ing enthusiasm aroused in behalf of
the ticket thus harmonized, and in no
direction is this fact more manifest
than in popular approval Of Mr.. Scran-
toms candidacy.

TROOPS LEAVE SHENANDOAH.
General Goblin Expects to Have AL

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Shenandoah, Oct. 4.-The Eighth regiment, with
the exception Of two companies, left for home
this afternoon. The remaining companies will
depart with the tents as soon as the canvas is
dry enough to fold. General Goblin says the
troops will be moved from day to day, weather
permitting, until all have gone. Battery c, he
stated, will be the next to 90 and will probably
break camp tomorrow.
The general says he hopes to have all the SOL
dicrs away by the end of the week. He is OF
the opinion that an early settlement of the
strike is unlikely, and says there is no reason
why he should hold the troops indefinitely.
At 1890 o'clock tonight General Goblin re-
scinded the order sending Battery G home. He
said that. on account of the unsettled condition
in the Shamokin region, he thought it wise to
keep the battery here for time.
