ALMOST At A sTANDsTILL.
Railroad Employees BEGINNING to
Feel the Pinch of the Strike

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 2o.-The Erie
railroad is almost at a standstill. No
coal is taken over the Honesdale
branch, and the switching crew at
that point has been laid off. The Erie
d. Wyoming Valley, the Delaware d
Hudson, the Ontario d Western and
the Lackawanna system are not NOV
ing a single coal train in any direc-
ton, the strike being wholly respon-
sible for this condition. The number
of railroaders idle, in consequence,
reaches into the hundreds. This makes
the interest of the railroad men in
the strike keen, and they are willing
to do everything required to bring
about its quick ending.

EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN.
The Tfe-up In the Lackawannn and
Wyoming Valleys Thorough

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 20.-The strike
OF the anthracite coal miners entered
upon its third day with everything
shut down in the First district except
the West End Coal Co.'S mine at
Mocanaqua. Headquarters here
had received word that the
Mocanaqua breakers, in the far
western end of the region, had been
closed through the efforts of District
President Nichols, who organized
nearly every workman there Wednes-
day night. This makes the tie-up of
the Lackawanna and Wyoming val
leys thorough, for not even wash
cry is doing business outside of the
MOcanaqua mine.

IMPRESSION IN WASHINGTON.
Belief that the German Note VIII
Precipitate an Acute Crisfs,

Precipftate an Acute Crisis,
Washington, Sept 20.-The general
impression here is that the German
note demanding the punishment of
the Chinese officials responsible for
the outrages upon foreigners as a
condition precedent to peace negotia-
tions, has brought the Chinese trouble
to an acute crisis as far as the United
States government is concerned. This
conclusion is based upon the belief, in
official circles, that the Chinese gov
eminent can not accept the German
proposition, so that it is now for the
United States government either to
withdraw its forces from China imme-
diately, or to join Germany and En-
gland, and, perhaps some of the other
allied powers, in a prolonged war
with China.
Secretary Hays Note Recalled.
Attention was directed in some
quarters to the fact that, in the very
beginning, in the note of July 8, Sec
rotary Hay had notified the Chinese
government that he expected that the
guilty parties in connection with the
outrages would be punished. How
ever. this demand was not made q
condition precedent to negotiations.
Now the belief is growing that if the
United States government is forced
to speedy decision as to the Ger
man proposition il may resort to di-
sect negotiations with the Chinese

Mckinley, accompanied by Secretary
Cortelyou, reached Washington a.
7:4< a. M. from Canton. They wera
mer at the station by Assistant Sec.
Rotary Pruden and Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin, who will be acting secretary OF
war in the absence of both Secretary
Root and Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john. Soon after the president ar
rived, Att'y.-Gen. Griggs called to ex-
tend his greetings, postponing until
late hour the general consultation
over the Chinese situation. President
Mckinley will return to Canton Fri
day night.
The Chinese Complications.
The complications which have
arisen in connection with the Chinese
situation decided the president to
come to Washington at this time. The
decision to come here was reached
on Monday, before the president had
any knowledge of the German de-
mand for the punishment of the lead
ers of the anti-foreign movement.
Only Cabinet Omcer Present.
Atty.-Gen. Griggs is the only cabi-
net officer in Washington, and with
him the president will go over the
new Developments in the situation.
Since the departure of Secretary
Root Atty.-Gen. Griggs has been the
ranking cabinet officer, and has had
charge of all important matters in
the presidents absence. The presi-
dent, it is understood. has not sent
out a call for the absent cabinet Off
Gals to return, and those who come
back will do so voluntarily. Secre-
tary Long has already notified the
president that he will be back on Fri
day.
No Such Thing ms a Quorum.
There as no such thing as a quorum
OF the cabinet for session. and if
necessary one can be held with only
one member. Indeed, the presidents
conference with Atty.-Gen. Griggs
was in reality cabinet meeting. The
conference took place after Assistant
Secretary of State Adee had talked
with the president and had placed
him in possession of all the details of
the situation known at the state de-
partment. Assistant Secretary of
War Meiklejohn also saw the presi
dent, but his visit, it is said. had no
relation to the Chinese situation. Mr..
Meiklejohn leaves for Nebraska. where
he VIII make speech Saturday, and
simply called to pay his respects.
The president will return to Canton
Friday night unless something unex-
pected occurs to detain him.

In making a crust of any kind do not

The, best way to boil potatoes is to

A point to be remembered In the broil-

while broiling. Put the inside of the fish
next to the Goals and let it cook through.
When done, hold the skin side to the fire
just a moment to brown and serve at

The hostess, In her kindly letter Vt
Invitation, .lsually mentions the length
OF proposed visit, when 10 arrive,
when to depart. Now and again the
expression Of "a few days. Is made
use Of instead OF actual date Of depar-
ture, but this is principally to intimate
friends, who are not on ceremony with
their entertainments and have no hesita-
ton In suggesting when their stay
should terminate. Under ordinary cir
cumstances to mention the date of de-
parture clears away all uncertainties
for every one concerned. Tx s%1 IN
Many are the temptations toward in
dependence of action that beset visit
0rs In town over those at country
houses-for instance. friends and rela-
tons to call upon and from whom
pressing invitations are received, to do
this or that together or shopping to be
got through, visits to dressmakers and
other similar engagements, all Of
which are very engrossing and difficult
to fit in within a given time and which
prevent many minutes Of day being
spent IN the company Of a hostess. I'm
less this is thoroughly understood on
arriving and ''Do just as you like" or
go your own way" and ''Suit your
own convenience entirely" are frankly
said an explanation Of movements
should he given each morning, that a
hostess may know how much or how
little of guests company she is to ex-
pect. =
Inconsiderate women frequently give
no little trouble by their want Of pune
tuality at meals, which is particularly
annoying in small households: To re-
turn to luncheon, at 2 when the lunch
con hour is o'clock is not an unusual
proceeding on their part or to require
breakfast to. he taken to their rooms or
to accept invitations to dinner on the
spur Of the moment without giving any
kind Of notice Of this intention are
some few of the social offepses Of
which even very nice people are not al
together guiltless.
In the country there Is little or no in
ducement to do any of these things.
and the visit Is essentially paid to the
hostess and the family, and again at
seaside resorts the occupations Of the
day are not outside those Of the host
ess, and. therefore, visitor is prac-
tically one Of the family for the time
being, and conforms to the family ar
rangements, having no temptation to
do otherwise.
