COLOGNE, Sept. 22.-The Berlin cores
pondent of the --Frankfurter Zeitung"
teIegraphs his paper that he learns from
official sources. in connection with the
stand taken by the United States in .e-
gari to the note of Count Won Buelow on
the Chinese settlement, that Germany,
despite many contradictory and alarming
reports to the contrary. has unshaken be-
lief that the note will obtain in principle
the assent of the American Government.
The correspondent says the vacillating
policy of the United States has at present
only one consequence. Those in authority
in China have their hands strengthened
for making special arrangements with
single powers and in this way concerted
action by the western nations will be de-
stroyed.
The Cologne Gazette" expresses the
same sentiment and adds that Germany
has full confidence in the common sense
of the American people, who realize that
half-means and a slack policy make a So
luton of the Chinese question daily more
difficult
The Cologne Gazette says the answers
received from the several powers to Ger
many's note in regard to China are gen.
orally favorable.
Owing to the manifest diverse inter
ests, plain yes or no could not in every
case be expected without further pourpar-
Iers. The paper goes on TO say that in
order to come TO a working agreement
many more diplomatic questions viii have
10 be settled, which viii not be made pub
lie until final solution is reached" F."
The Berlin correspondent of the Ca
Eette'' telegraphs that. in the case of
Russia in Manchuria, practical consdera-
tions have shown themselves to outweigh
theoretical calculations, and that therefore
the Russian scheme for the evacuation of
Pekin has been shelved, pending further
developments.
PARIS, Sept. ga despatch from Ber-
liz says it is believed there that there is
tension between Germany and the United
States over the settlement OF the Chinese
trouble and the German proposals Germa-
ny, it is said, will not publish the answers
to Foreign Minister von Buelow's note
which have been received from the vari-
Gus powers. The reason for this is that
the German Government does not desire
the impression to get abroad that pres
sure is being exerted on the other nations
interested.
BERLIN, Sept 22-An official note an
nounces that France, Italy. and austria
have formally assented to the propositions
in the German note.
ROME. Sept. 22.-An official statement
just issued says that Italy considers that
the Vatican has no right to interfere in
indemnity claims against China. The Gov
ernnent will demand full compensation for
the destruction of the Catholic missions
! conducted by Italians for which the Vati-
can is making claims.

IN THE SCRANTON DISTRICT.
Miners Disappointed Over the Out
break at Shenandoah.

| SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 92.-The striking
miners of the Lackawanna and Wyoming
Valleys arc ending the first week of their
| struggle for increased wages and better
| ment of their condition. The conflict at
| Shenandoah last evening was a surprise to
them. Here in district No 1, where every,
thing has been most peaceable, and where
the strikers were patiently awaiting the
cooperation of fellow miners of the Halle
ton and Schuylkill regions it was not be-
lieved that violence would so quickly enter
into the contest. Here the gospel of peace
was preached by Dncher, Nichols, and the
organizers among the miners
1t was an exceedingly anxious morning
at the district headquarters. President
Nichols did not leave the rooms at all
| during the night, after word reached him
that trouble had begun in Shenandoah.
With him We're Secretary Dempsey and
Committeeman Nicholas Burke They were
surprised and disappointed. Tley could
not believe that the outbreak was pro-
Yoked by strikers, nor would they express
any opinion thereon until better informed
What effect this outbreak Will have up
on the solid phalanx of strikers in this
and the Wyoming Valley can hardly be es-
timated. For the past week the leaders
have striYen to maintain such discipline
that no matter what the tension, there
would be no conflicts.
1t was realized that so soon as troops
were ordered into action, their cause
could be imperiled. President Nichols
and his district board, however, claim that
they can win their fight without the aid
of the Schuylkin workmen.
The week has ended without the aid
which the leaders asserted would come
from the other districts. The Lackawan-
mas men, it Is claimed. may give up at any
time. Active agents have canvassed them
and the fact that several of their washe-
rfes keep on at work, though with bosses
doing the toll of laborers, has made them
uncertain as to the general result.
They are again assured today by General
Superintendent Loomis that their recent
demands made independent of the United
Mine Workers demands, will be considered
just as soon as they return to their places.
Superintendent Rose of the Delaware and
Hudson. is of the same disposition, and the
Pennsylvania Coal Company, through Gen
eraI Superintendent Williams. announces
that whatever grievances its employees
have Will be quickly heard and ad-
justed when the mines are again working.
There Will be a meeting of the district
executive board again this afternoon.
Around headquarters among the miners
! this morning there was unusual interest
shown. and. while many We're doubtful be-
cause of the Shenandoah riots, others be-
lieve their cause was strengthened by the
calling out of the troops.
Some important local developments are
assured today, one of the features of which
is the big parade and demonstration of this
afternoon by the boys and young men en-
/ ployed about the mines

THE FIGHT AT PEITANG.
Austrian and German Flags Raised
Over the Fort.

VIENNA, Sept. Z2-The commander
of the Austrian squadron at Taku ca
bles as follows:
Lieutenant Schustrschitz, with a de-
taehment OF troops from Tientsin and q
guard from Taku, comprising one officer

quently captured two guns and mine

and twelve men severely wounded"
TAKU, Sept. 22.-The allies bombarded
the Peitang forts until noon yesterday.

and an investigation showed that the forts
had been deserted. Over three thousand

HAZLETON. Pa, Sept. 22.-While there
has been no change in the general strike
situation here since yesterday, in
terest in the developments at the
Markle colliertes has been inten-
sifed by tie alleged change of
opinion announced by the Rev. Father
Phillips. Father Phillips at the meeting
of the employees of c. B. Markle G Co,
held in Jeddo on Wednesday, made an ap-
peal in advocacy of the arbitration propo-
sition submitted by that firm to its men.
He has since yielded to President Mitchell
of the United Mine Workers, and to Henry
George. jr. In company with these men,
he went to Philadelphia and when he re-
turned he said that he realized the mill
tary necessity for Mr. MiteheIl's refusal
to allow a break in the strikers ranks by
letting the Markle men work or arbitrate
Father Phillips change of opinion in IA
vor of the strikers is likely to have con-
siderable effect upon developments at the
Markle collieries. as he is man upon
whose utterances the Catholic element
places much weight. His statement may
lead many men at these workings, now
wavering, TO join the strikers.
The MarkIe coIlieries were working this
morning. They are protected by armed
guards.
The south side this morning again fur
nished a demonstration under the leader
ship of Mother Jones The women OF
McAdoo at an early hour marched from
that place to Coleraine colliery. When
they arrived at Coleraine, they were con-
fronted by armed guards, and were not
permitted to persuade the workmen to
leave the mines. number of strikers
who marched from Upper Lehigh TO Sandy

lice,

AWAITING 4 CALL TO ARMS.
Colonel DOugherty Does Not Think
His Militia VIII BeNeeded.


WILKESBARRE. Pa, Sept, 22-The
Ninth Regiment. of this city, is ready
to answer the call to arms, but Colo
mel Dougherty. who has been in COM
munication with Governor Stone and Ad-
jutant General Stewart all night. thinks
there will be no need for the services
of the Ninth and Thirteenth Regiments
unless a further outbreak occurs. He
received orders at midnight to hold the
men in readiness, and in two hours all
of them had been notified.
If called for now, the regiment can
leave here in an hour. The rations are
ready, train waits on the tracks, and
signal will call the men together in
each town in fifteen. minutes. Such a
signal, if given, Will be a secret one, so
as to create no more excitement than
is necessary, and the men can be mobil-
lied without arousing the strikers in
this region.
The fact that many OF the troops are
strikers does not worry the officers any,
and they declare the men will do their
duty in soldierly manner.
The coal companies here, fearing a dis
turbance today. are swearing in all the
men they can get as special officers and
rushing them to their collieries Most of
these are non-union men and many of
them are foremen. fire bosses. and engi-
neers who are at work.
AS yet all is very quiet. Groups of
strikers are gathered about the streets
talking of the Shenandoah riot. Some of
them say that the presence of the troops
will incite the men now at work to strike
and make the tie-up complete. The mine
superintendents here, however. assert that
with protection assured the men, many of
the men now on strike Will return to
work
The strikers hope of shutting down the
West End coliiery at Mocanaqua was
shattered this morning when of the 200
who were on strike yesterday, 10 re-
turned to work. Manager John n. Cony-
ningham spent all yesterday afternoon
and evening with the men, talking TO them
and his influence was sufficient to get
them to return to work. The strikers had
expected to get fully four hundred to re-
main away from work this morning.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 22,-An order
issued at 3:30 o'clock this morning directs
the commanding officers of the Ninth and
Thirteenth Regiments TO hold their COM
mands in readiness to move TO the mining
regions at short notice.
