Former Minister Beheaded.

Washington, Oct. discrimination
has been received here of the execut on
of Chang Yen Hoon, the former Chi
nesc minister to the United States.
Chang was loyal adherer of the en-
peror and warm supporter of the lat
ters reform movements. When the
empress dowager supplanted the en-
peror, two years ago, he was banished
to Hebradoo, but, through the inter
vention of the American and British
ministers, his punishment was commu-
ted to Punishment in the distant pro-
vince of Kashgaria. 1t now appears
that the empress dowager, taking ad-
vantage of the late reign of terror at
Pekin, and knowing Changes influences
with the emperor, ordered his execu'
ton by decapitation.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Therc is no
intimation from any of the coal com
.panies as to their action on the resolu-
lions of the miners convention. Both
Superintendent LOOMS, of the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western, and
Rose. of the Delaware and Hudson, said
they were expecting instructions from
New York. Neither would express
any opinion as to whether or not the
propositions would be accepted. The
only features that the operators and
their superintendent here dislike is
the failure of the miners to incorporate
the powder question in their PROPOSE
ton. This being left undecided will
tend to keep the matter on edge for
several days, at least, and it is regard
ed rs a possible source of trouble in
the future.

STRIKE LEADERS SUSPICIOUS,
Fear Tho Companies Arc Conspiring
Against The Union.

h1hiHbt ho s"'"'"
WiAsesbarrc, Pa, Oct. 2a.-Thc strike
leaders here are growing suspicious
that there is some kind of an agree
ment between the coal companies by
which they expect to break up the
miners. The offer of the Reading
company and the opposition to the
same upon the part of the other com
panies is something the labor leaders
cannot understand. At conference
in Philadelphia on Wednesday the
Lchigh Valley agreed to the same
terms as the Reading, so far as their
Lehigh collieries are concerned, but
the company refuses, so the strikers
allege, to make the same concessions
to their employees in the Wyoming
region. The officers of the United
Mine Workers here say there is no
consistency in that. The action OF the
Lackawanna, the ontario and Western,
the Pennsylvania company and other
large producers in combining with the
Lehigh Valley on the powder question
tends to confirm the views entertained
by the officers of the miners union
that a concerted effort is to be made
by the companies to get the better OF
the union and incite break in the
ranks of the strikers The operators
who participated in the conference at
Scranton say they are acting in good

About Paul Kruger.

Lourenzo Marques, Oct. 22.-Mr.
Kruger was secretly taken on board a
Dutch cruiser to sail for Holland. Mr..
Kruger feared the Beers here would
attack him. The feeling of the refu-

the country is very strong. The party
drove through the custom house and
embarked from the customs pier in
stead of from the passenger jetty.
Dublin, Oct. 22.-Notice has been
given that the freedom of the city be
conferred upon ex-President Kruger.

daily tearing up portions of the rail

cannot leave the garrisoned points
without considerable escorts. The
only remedy seems to be to corral all
the Burghers and deport them, as
apparently none can be trusted.

The recent visit OF the German

bnc. A correspondent writes TO a
London paper;
! The five little Princes Of FcIiXtoWe
won all hearts by their unaffected

arc gone, no one speaks Of them with
greater affection than tie donkcy-b)y
Joe who, every afternoon, proudly
ran behind his three fleetcst donkcyS,
each mounted by little lad Ill 4
sailor suit. The Crown Prince par
ticularly begged that his donkey
should be a kicker, "and waSa pretty
sight to see the dear little fellows gal
loping along the sands and taking the
wooden brcakwatrrS at full speed. As
an instance of their kindness OF heart
| may tell YOU that, on the occasion
OF the birthday to which yon referred
in your paragraph, seeing ice" pass
their windows they rushed out with
plateful Of birthday cake. which they
insisted on his taking away. Too
rich for me-" said ice afterwards. Il
could only eat a little bit of it," An
other day, when riding, the Crown
Prince, trying to urge his donkey to
a faster gallop, caught Joe" good
hit across his forehead. He was so
distressed at having hurt him that he
was reduced to tears, and it was some
time before he could be comforted, re-
peatedly begging Joe to forgive him.
They wanted him to go back to Ger
many with them, but this Joe refused
to do, and If you ask him the reason
he says he does not like going so far
from home"
The little fellows bathed whenever
