HARD CONDITIONS IMPOSED.

Minister WI Comments on Germany's
Note to the Powers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O-Minister WI
Ting Fang was greatly interested in
Germany's note to the powers asking
combined action in demand that those
responsible for the trouble in China be
punished as an indispensable r-elimi-
nary to any peace negotiations. When
seen at the legation he had before him
a copy Of the published text of the enote.
II can hardly believe that this step
has been taken," said he, land If it has,
it is so unfortunate in it's influences upon
the general question that I am greatly
in hopes that Germany will reconsider.
The condition imposed upon China
would be very hard It would amount
to determining one of the subjects Of
negotiations before negotiations had
been commenced. The Chinese ENJOYS
arc invested with complete power to
make terms with the powers so that
when negotiations are opened this
question and all others will be proper
subjects for consideration and final SET
tlement by those having complete au.
thority to deal with them. But to take
one subject up in advance, settle it and
make it's execution an indispensable
preliminary to negotiations is extremely
hard"

ATTACK GENERAL WOOD.

Cuban Papers Make a Fierce Onslaught
Upon the Governor General.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Cubans in
this city have received advices from
the private secretary of Senor Salvador
Cisneros y Betancourt, former presi.
dent of Cuba, which shows that the en-
tire island has been aroused to high
pitch of excitement by the alleged in
reference of General Leonard Wood
in the election Of delegates to the con-
stitutional convention.
General Wood is accused by Cuban
papers, and the accusation is repeated
by Oisneros' private secretary, of max
ing personal campaign tour Of the
island for the purpose of obtaining the
election Of delegates who would be
sufficiently subservient to his will. He
is also also accused of withholding a
telegram in which General Ruis Rivera
accepted the nomination in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, for the purpose
Of preventing Rivera's election, and of
forcing upon the people Of that prov
ince the election of Gonzalo de Ques.

HAVANA, Sept. 20.-The result Of the
election Of delegates to the forthcom-
ing constitutional convention is being
freely discussed by the Havana dele-
gates and other prominent Cubans.
Tie conclusion reached is that the con-
vention will be controlled by the revo.
lutionary element. Senior Alfredo
Zayas, Nationalist delegate, said:
"The convention will not allow itself
to be Influenced by any representative
Of the United States. It will adopt and
follow an independent policy through
out, in my opinion refusing to decide
as to the relations which shall here
after exist between Cuba and the United
States. This is matter that should be
left to special commission"
Mayor Rodriguez expressed the same
opinion and other representative dele
gates in various parts Of the island
adopt the same attitude
In the main the delegates are capa-
BILE men. Most of them, it is said, are
in favor Of immediate and absolute in
dependence, without the Intervention
of a prOtectorate.

KANSAS CRY, Sept. 20.-Armourdale,
the center of the packing and stock
yards in this vicinity, was invaded late
in the afternoon by William J. Bryan.

driven to the industrial suburb, which
he reached at 6:l5. The employees Of the
various institutions Of the vicinity had
already ceased their daily labors, and
gathered in Shawnee park in great
numbers when Mr.. Bryan arrived. The
sky was overcast and threatening, and
soon rain began to fall, but notwith-
standing these untoward circumstances
the crowd held on manfully, giving
close attention to the end. At night
Mr.. Bryan spoke in a huge tent in this
city.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.-President

ers say they are confident that every
mine will be tied up by the end OF the
week and the production of coal will be
at standstill. ....
Marching, the form of persuasion or
coercion used by the Hazleton strikers in
1897, began in earnest during the morn
ing in the Hazleton district. A deter
mined band of strikers from McAdoo
went to several mine settlements be-.
fore daybreak and induced 500 men
not to go to work. 1t was this march.

an effort to stop men from working that

sheriff's deputies three years ago. CAL

mine owners in the Hazleton region,

in which he declared that the operators
will never yield to the demands Of the
strikers and that it is fight to, the

NEED EXPECT NO AID.

Bituminous Coal Operators Will Not
Meddle in the Anthracite Strike.
ALTOONA, Pa, Sept. 20.-The anthra-
cite coal operators need expect no aid
from the bituminous operators in the
struggle against the miners. At a
meeting the operators Of this district
decided not to meddle in the troubles
of the Eastern district. They are hav-
ing plain sailing at present and do not
desire to court trouble. They have all
the orders they can fill at present and
some are behind because Of a lack Of
cars during the summer. The strike
will divert the cars to the bitu1ninous
field and the operators are looking for
the best business in their history this
fall. All the miners are at work and
there is no talk of sympathetic strike.

SEATTLE, Sept. 20.-The Pacific Coast
Coal company has announced a general

from $3.50 to $3 a day. Nearly 1000
men are employed in these mines, and
all are rejoiced over the advance, which
was voluntary on the part of the COM

Two hundred men employed in the
Learey mines also had their wages
raised after a mutual understanding

making from $3 to $3.50 per day. The
demand for coal on the Pacific coast is
so great that the mining companies are
