THE AMERICAN ANSWER
TO FRENCH PROPOSALS
HAS BEEN OUTLINED But AWAITS
ARRIVAL OF PRESIDENT
MCKINLEY.
CONGRESS MAY HAVE TO ACT
BEFORE DEFINITE ANSWERS RE-
GARDING THE MILITARY FEA-
TURE CAN BE GIVEN.

WASHINGTON. October 6.-The
American answer to the French more.
which is the pending phase of the Chi
nese negotiations 10 be disposed of, has
been pretty well defined, although It
will remain for the return OF the Presl-
dent and meeting of the cabinet 70
give the answer formal definitenesS.
Already. however, limitations have
been conveyed TO some of the foreign
representatives that this government
may not be able TO concur in the inter-
diction of the import of arms into Chi
ma, and also that there may be serious
constitutional reasons requiring at least
two of the French proposals TO be sub
mitted to the American Congress be-
fore they can be acted upon Affirmative
ly. These two latter propositions re-
late to the establishment of perma-
nent legation guard at Pekin, and TO
the permanent maintenance OF a line or
communication from Pekin to the sea.
The permanency OF these plans appears
to involve a possibility of territorial
occupation, though OF limited charae-
ter, both at Pekin and along the road
from Pekin to the sea, and 1t is under
stood that even If these moves were
regarded with favor by the executive
branch, there would be constitutional
reasons making it desirable TO submit
them to Congress. This idea has been
put forward only in tentative way,
as indicating to foreign representatives
some OF the questions which will have
to be taken into account in giving an
answer to the French note
The document is not regarded, how
ever, as one which must be accepted or
rejected as a whole. The efforts of NJ.
Delcasse to secure a basis of settlement
are fully appreciated by the officials
here, and this view doubtless will find
expression in the American answer.
The news which the United States
government has received of the pur-
pose of the Chinese imperial court to
take up its abode at Using au Flu, In the
province of Shonse, comes from Japan
csc official sources, but so far there has
been nothing from the Chinese officials
to show that the movement actually
has taken place. The state department
has put forth all its efforts to bring
about an abandonment OF the project
However, 1t is now considered that
the presence of the Emperor and En-
press in Pekin is not absolutely neces-
sary TO the attainment OF satisfactory
and permanent settlement of the Chi
nese trouble, though It is undoubtedly
true that their return would hasten such
settlement.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, October
6.-Presfdent Mitchell, in his ad-
dress at the Mine Workers mass
meeting here this afternoon, an
nounced for the first time that
he will call n joint convention
of the anthracite mine workers
i'm few days so that the men
may themselves decide whether
the ten per cent. advance In
wages is enough.
He said, 81 wish to announce
to-day for the first time that in
q few days a convention Will be
called. Every mine will be re-
quested to send delegates. If
you believe a net advance of ten
per cent. in your wages Is
enough, then your vote will de-
eide the question. IL you prefer
Mitchell will be with you. In
this strike we must nil win, to-
gether, or go down together"
Mr.. Mitchell again took occa-
sion to deny the charges that
the strike was brought on for
political purposes and that the
bituminOus coal operators were
connected with it. "These
charges" he said, ''are absolute
ly untrue" Mr.. Mitchell de-
clared that despite the state
ment of the operators that they
would not recognize the union,
they had already done so by an
nouncing the ten per cent. in
crease. He snid 1T was strange
that this advance was not grant

THE TOUR OF INDIANA CLOSED
FOURTEEN SPEECHES MADE BE-
FORE THE OHIO RIVER
WAS CROSSED.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 6.-Hon
VIM. J. Bryan, the Democratic pres
Dental candidate, to-day concluded his
tour of the State of Indiana, arriving
here about $50 o'clock tonight, an
hour and half late.
He made fourteen speeches during
the day before crossing the Ohio river.
These speeches were made at Plain
field, small station a few miles out
from Indianapolis; Greencastle, where
the Depauw University is located;
Brazil, an important mining center;
Terre Haute, Lewis, Linton, Elnora,
Washington, Shoals, Mitchell, Orleans,
Salem, New Albany and Jacksonville.
His audiences were all large except
at the very small towns. At such
places as Terre Haute, Linton, Salem
and Washington, there were multitudes
of people. At all the stopping points
great enthusiasm was displayed.
A light rain fell the greater part OF
the day, but this circumstance was not
allowed to interfere with the meetings
in any way.
The people did not desert ON account
of it and Mr.. Bryan protected himself
with an umbrella
Mr.. Bryan concluded his days work
with a speech to an audience that taxed
the big Auditorium in Louisville to its
utmost. Before crossing the river he
| made fifteen minute address in JET
fersonville from the rear platform Of
his train a large crowd.
At the meeting In Louisville, Mr..
Bryan was introduced by Ex-Governor
]. B. McCreery, and the demonstration
paid him was enthusiastic.
Mr. Bryan impressed upon the peo-
pie the Importance of electing a Demo-
cratic Congressman. He said:
Send down to Congress a man who
will vote against government by in
junction, who will vote for arbitration
between labor and capital; who Will
vote to give labor representative in
the Presidents cabinet, who will vote
against private monopolies in every
form. who will vote for a small
standing army and a citizen soldery
ready to respond to his country's call
and who will vote against a colonial
policy"
His speech was general review of the
situation. Declaring that the laboring
man received no benefit from a gold
standard or high protective tariff
he asserted that the Republican party
had no plans that loked to anything
except the improvement of the for
tunes of a comparatively few favorites
at the expense of the many.
On the tariff he said:
you will be told that the protective
tariff is levied for the benefit of the
laboring man but if you will look in
summer resorts you will find there the
benefciaries of protection, but you peo-
pie never meet them there. You do not
get the blessings~of high tariff. 1t
was never levied for the benefit of the
producer of weal,A. 1t was levied for
those who call themselves the captains
of industry, but it Is, as in the army
where the officer gets the glory, and the
big pay and the private does the work
and gets little reward"
Mr. Bryan will leave at $50 a. m. for
Salem, where he will spend Sunday with
relatives. Monday he will begin cam
paign in Illinois

LONDON, October 6.-The Free Lance
publishes a remarkable interview with
former Queen Natalie of Servia, VINO
has been summering at a villa near
San Sebastian. The queen does not
mince her words in regard to her son
and the present queen of Servia. She
says:
THE charge that ] sent her insulting
postcards is an Infamous bit OF malign-
ity on her part, got up as pretext for
the dismissal of a few officers OF my
household still at Belgrade and In order
to pocket their allowances. Never WAS
a man more infatuated than my dear,
deluded son by his pretty. narrow
minded, narrow-hearted Servian sub
iect, fifteen years his senior"
No language is too strong, apparent
~, to express Queen Natalie's dislike
for Queen Draga. She reeounts her
fruitless efforts TO nip the affair before
1t approached a serious point.

Counterfeit Centl.

One Of the best judges of counterfeit
money employed in the cashiers Office
in the custom house was talking with
friends whom he met in a cable car
about the skill of counterfeiters and
the large number of counterfeit cents
which were in circulation. When the
conductor came around to collect fares,
the friend pulled out a handful of
small change to pay him. The custom
house man leaned over and picked a
cent out of his hand with the remark:
''This just illustrates what 1 have been
saying. Here is one of the counterfeits
now, and if you don't mind will give
you a good coin for it''
Even suspicious people, who invaria-
bly, ring silver coins to detect frauds.
never examine I cent pieces to deter
mine their genuineness, and it is proba-
bly, the safest kind of counterfeiting
that man can do, though it cannot
be very profitable. The cent which
this custom house man picked out diff
fered from the others chiefly in its
being more worn around the edges
and very much blurred in it's letters

mite and nitro glycerine). Mr. Thomas
could think Of but two ways in which the
accident could be accounted for. One was
that one of the men might have pushed
one Of the Illuminating caps into a stick
of powder with such force as to explode
the cap and thus Ignite the powder, and
the other that a drop Of hot grease from
the candle in one Of the mems hats had
dropped into a cap and exploded It, He
and all Of the others connected with the
mine or conversant with the conditions
inclined toward the last mentioned
theory, although no living person has any
definite knowledge on that point
c. D. Avery, t1mekeeper in the mine,
stated that he saw James Balm and Mike
Cvar in the powder room just before the
accident occurred, and it is generally be-
lieved that one Of those men was respon-
sfble for the explosion. Mr.. Avery was
sure that neither of the men was smok-
ing, but thought both had lighted candles
in their hats.
Supt. Northey was in the interior Of
the mine most Of the morning, but left
just before the accident.
Inspector McCallum states In his re-
port that he questioned a number Of dis
interested persons. all Of whom COM
mended the management of the mine.

Of the accident From Capt Thomas 1t
was learned that there were thirty-nine
men employed underground when the ex-
piosion occurred. He himself had Just
left the mine ten minutes before and in
tended to return at once. He stated that
it had been the practice to take down into
the mine each morning a sufficient guam
THY of explosive to last twenty-four
hours, and five boxes, or $50 pounds, had
been taken down about 10 o'clock that
morning. There was probably twenty
five pounds on hand In the powder room,
