Circulation Statement.
The Rescue mt PeISin.

The general belief yesterday, based on
press dispatches. which are generally
day ahead of official news, that the lega-
lions In Pekin had been relieved, brought
a sense of relief TO all people in this
country. Hundreds OF our citizens have
relatives or friends among the diploma
fists. guards, or persons under the pro-
lection of the American Legation, and
conviction at last that all had been res
cued was happy sensation.
In the absence of complete details. it IS
too early to discuss the future course OF
this or other Governments in China. Much
will depend upon the conditions under
which the international forces penetrated
the Chinese capital. II the movement
was accomplished under flag of truce
and with the understanding that the sal
Walton of the legationers was to be con-
sideratlon for the withdrawal of the allies,
that would be one thing. We are hardly
willing to believe. however, that any terms
were made. The retreat OF the Empress
Dowager. the Prince Of Tuan, and the
court. if corroborated. would seem to in
Glcate mat the CITY iidu DeSA aD0ANSA~N-
II so. it is rather probable that it will be
held, as the moral effect or foreign pos
session OF the sacred city would be great,
while a sudden retirement from it would
be certain to affect the Chinese populace
unfavorably, and perhaps lead TO further
resistance by them. if not by the regular
army.
Our late dispatches this morning, we
hope. Will give us the essential details of
the rescue. which are not at hand at this
writing. 1t is TO be observed that the
story OF relief reached Washington ahead
OF what may be regarded as reasonable
time for transmission. But as identical
reports were gent out from widely sep
arated Chinese points, more or less in
communication with the capital. there
does not appear TO be any reasonable
ground upon which to base a dol BIT OF
their substantial accuracy.

THE ANTHRACITE TROUBLES.
Coal Operators VIII Not Meet the
Mine Workers.

WILnESBARRE, Pa. Aug. 1.-THE gen.
eral superintendent of one of the largest
coal companies in the region said today.
althoughihe refused to permit the use. Of
his name that the coal operators would
positively refuse to meet the United Mine
Workers in joint convention at Hazleton
on August 26. He said:
I'VE refused to meet them at Scranton
and at Pittston, and for the same reason
will rot meet them at Hazleton. We are
willing to treat with our own employees.
but refuse to have anything to do with
outsiders.
The grievances of the men," he con-
tinued ARE not so great as they would
like people to believe. There is no map
preciable difference in the conditions OF
Eituminous and anthracite miners. but al
ways in the formers favor. There is
reason, of course. but the operators in the
anthracite field are not responsible.
There is greater demand for soft coal
and in consequence the miner engaged in
the West works a greater number of days
per year and is paid a higher wage. Can
anyone suppose for a moment that We do
not earnestly wish for an increased de-
mand for anthracite? And then there has
been legislation in the interest of the
bituminous coal operator. Don't you think
we desire legislation in our interests?
las for example, would it not be a card
in our favor to have the Government use
anthracite on all its vessels instead of soft
coal and such a rule could be applied in
all departments. We feel that anthracite
is the better coal. but the fact remains it
is not in demand and perhaps because 1t
is considered luxury it is not used only
when 1t becomes an actual necessity"

DUN's TRADE REVIEW.
Heavy Contracts Placed on Every
Break in Raw Material.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Dun's tomorrow
will say:
after great wave OF advancing prices
optimism as to business is generally dan
gerous. But the top was reached the mid
die of March, since which time reaction
has come in every great industry so that
consumers are asking whether in some d.
rections the decline may not have been
unreasonaD,y large. as was the advance,
and whether buying on the present basis
of prices is not fairly sure There are
further evidences of weakness In raw ma
terial, notably the break in structural iron,
but each one is awaited of to place heavy
contracts.
New York is welcoming buyers from all
over the country in larger numbers than
for many years at this season. in dry goods,
in groceries. in jewelry. and in hardware
and If contracts are not placed to as large
a volume as expected by this time il Is
because of conservatism of those who
think they may compel some further shad-
ing of prices
Reports this week from ether fnpor-
tant points of distribution show the same
eagerness to buy when the time seems
right and current business in the country
is shown TO be OF good volume by bank
clearings for the week at the chief cities
outside New York. only z.5 per cent small
er than last years record of extraordinary
speculative activity, and 20.2 per cent
larger than in 1885, while at New York
24.1 per cent smaller than a year ago and
12.7 per cent under 1896.
1T is becoming more apparent that the
bottom has been reached in prices OF iron
and steel. The decline was severe and
recovery must be SLOW but gradual ad-
vancss and moderately increasing activity
are more healthy than violent changes. Ex-
cept steel rails all forms OF iron from the

Leverson, of New York. to Filipino
named Apacible. of which the War De-
partment has made such parade, in which
letter the writer advises the seizure of
United States official and his trial for
piracy before a council of war. The
Sun asks:
Does the Washington Times doubt for an in
slant the reasonable character Of this Lever
sons communication to the leaders of the ins'ir-
rection which the United States Government has
been engaged in putting down? Docs it doubt
ms Just liability to the punishment which the
laws Of the United States impose on those who
give aid and comfort to rebesy'
The Times in its issue of yesterday,
Independently with the publication of
the foregoing question, expressed its esu-
mate of Mr.. Leverson and the character
of his offence in the following comment:
''The visionary character Of the author of this
letter IS manifest its face; in his wild idea
Of what constitutes piracy. less than in the
character of the tribunal which should conduct
a legal trial of the offence.
''The letter is evidently the cfTusion of an old
man unlearned in the law who has become
eIazed with meditation on the supposed wrongs
inflicted by our soldiers on the Fipinos. The let
ter reeites that the writer is a member OF
league of which the Hon. George 5. Boutwell, is
president The suggestion of Identifying so emf
nent lawyer MIR. Boutwell, with so ridicu-
loiis scheme is unworthy OF the least notice.
Yet that seems TO be the only purpose of
parading this crank letter before the public at
this time.
There is not an official Of prominence in the
Government service whose mail is not enriched
with similar vasaries '
But 10 give direct answer to the
Suns" question. The Times does doubt, or,
to be accurate, it does not believe that the
absurd communication of Leverson would
be, or would be considered by the courts
as aid and comfort to the Filipinos, and it
doubts the liability to punishment of an
old man now over seventy years of age,
whose letter itself discloses so unbalanced
a state of mind. If the letter had con-
tanned information or advice of actual val
ue to the Filpinos a different state Of
case would be presented so far as the alb
stract offence is concerned, But as to the
legal responsibility and amenability to
punishment of Mr.. Leverssa, The Times
would not hesitate to acquit him on the
face of the papers. Nor is this opinion ma
terially different from the Judgment OF the
Sun" expressed in answer to it's own
question:
Leverson will perhaps escape prosecution and
punishment, but that will be solely on account
o. his age and personal insignifcance and the
ord throw upon his perfect mental response
bilty."
