TROLLEY STILL TIED UP.
The Scranton Strikers Fave Things
 Their Own Way.

SCRANTON Pa, Dec. 26.-Owipg to the successful work of the scouts of the striking car men ten of tAe 13 men brought on from Syracuse to take their places were sent home yesterday, and two others were induced to quit and agree not to go back to work. One of them was willing to leave town, but re- fused to accept money from the strikers. He said he would walk every step to Syracuse before taking money out of the strikers treasury. He also said he was told that there was no strike here and that if things were not satisfactory when he arrived he would be furnished his fare home. The twelfth man decided to stay and secure other work. The other man could not be corralled blythe scouts. Three new men were brought in from Syracuse yesterday morning, but already two of them have been won over by the strikers. The other was Kidnapped by a burly striker who was made overzealous by drink.
 Only two cars were run in the whole county. One of these, on which Superin- tendent Patterson was motorman, ran off the track at II o'clock and was so badly damaged it had to be taken to the barn. No other car was sent to replace it, and at 1 50 the other of the two cars was taken in and housed.
 General Manager SilliElan was not downcast by the successes of the strikers in converting his recruits. He says he can get all the men he wants after the holidays, when the number of crews in other cities will be cut down and hun lreds of men thrown idle.

CHINA WILL ACCEPT.
Foreign Ministers SangGine In Re-
 Gnrd to Terms Proposed.


 LONDON, Dec. 26.-According to q news agency dispatch from Picking, dated Dec. 24, the foreign ministers there are unanimously Of the opinion that China will accept the conditions imposed by the joint note of the powers within a mouth The note was started on it's way to the dowager empress and the emperor inn mediately after its presentation, the dis patch says, but wire communication is slow, and it probably will not reach them until Dec. 27.
 Vice Admiral Alexieff, says the St. Petersburg correspondent of The Times, command in China to make detailed lists of the Chinese property-money, cattle, provisions, etc.-taken by them and where such property now is.
 The correspondent also says that de- tachments of Russian troops in southern and southeastern Manchuria continue to pursue the work of exterminating disor- ganized Chinese troops and brigands.
 The Shanghai correspondent of The Standard telegraphing Dec. 24, says:
 The government has arrested Prince Yuan and Prince Chaung on the borders of the Shansi and Shensi provinces Yu flu forthwith to be executed, it is SUD- posed.
 Ut is inferred from these reports that the imperial authorities are preparing to concede the demands of the joint note for the punishment of the instigators of the trouble in China

The Chinese Reform Party Forced to a Battle While Maturing Plans For a General Uprising With
 With Disastrous Results.

VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 26.-The foreign secretary of the Chinese associa- tion of Canada, stationed here, has re- ceived a cablegram from Hongkong stat ing that the Chinese reformers, who are thought to be getting ready to rise si- multareously throughout China, have been forced into fighting their first big battle with disastrous results. The ca blegram, in cipher, says:
 While on friendly visit to Chang Chi Tung, governor of Chi-chi-li, sup posed to be in sympathy with the reform movement, Chief Loder Tong of Chi chi-li and 26 other leaders were seized by Chang Chi Tung and executed, while 10000 imperial troops attempted to sur round and capture 5000 reform. troops.
 "A bloody battle ensUed, and 1,5OO re- formers were killed before they could cut their way through the ranks of the ene- iiC by charging them with bayonets.
 Hundreds of imperial troops were eli thcr killed or wounded.
 ''The imperial troops did not follow the reform troops in their retreat"

A DAY OF GOOD WILL.
Needy Thousands Enjoy Cheer and
 Plenty of Christmas.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-All over the city Christmas reigned supreme. Rich and poor held high revel, and there were smiles in prisons and happiness in hos pitals. News boys feasted like lords, home, |. less men were given chance to eat to repletion, and nowhere in the city does it seem possible that any person could have gone without dinner.
 Never before was Christmas so gen erally celebrated, nor much done by those who were able for others whose holiday time would have been sad with out them.
 Society entertained in its usual way with house parties and dances, but in the homes of the poor there were many hap py families. There the shrubs cheaply decorated brought much fun as the large tree loaded with expensive gifts.
 Political leaders renewed their strength with their constituents by furnishing q banquet free to all, and societies having rented halls set huge tables grooming with good things for those unable to provide for themselves.
 Many out of town parties were given by society leaders. Mrs. Howard Gould gave an entertainment to 300 village chil- dren at Fort Washington, on Long Is land. MT. George Gould held a Christ mas party at Georgian Court, Lakewood, N. J. The Vanderbilt and Twombly house party and dance was held at the Twombly villa, Madison, x. J. Mrs. Amos T. French kept open house in Tuxedo and gave a house party in honor of Miss Elsie French and her fiance, Mr. Alfred c. Vanderbilt.
 At Madison Square Garden more than 4O.OOO persons were the recipients of the Salvation Army's Christmas cheer in the form of dinner.
 Commander and Mrs Booth-Tucker were at the Garden as early as half past crowd. Accompanying them were at least 15O soldier boys and lassies who immedi- ately set to work preparing the dinners and decorating the amphitheater for the festival.
 Arranged on the main floor of the Gar den were 54 long tables On these the dinner was served. One immense table extending from the entrance on Madison avenue to the exit on Fourth avenue was piled with baskets. There were 3.20O of these baskets, and each one contained chicken, four pounds of potatoes, two pounds of vegeta bles, a loaf of bread, sugar and quarter of pound of coffee. Each one of the baskets was made up to feed a family of five. At ? o'clock not one of these baskets was left.
 Seven hundred homeless and hungry men were treated to a Christmas dinner at the McAuley mission, 31G Water street, this being the fifteenth annual dinner given by the mission.

Extra hours of work was the grievance of a score of opera tives who during the holidays have been compelled to labor II hours day. The trouble was quickly adjusted by the post office authorities, who suspended the leader of the strikers. The rank and file of the protesting clerks then returned to their labors. Superintendent Marr of the registry department said: ''The mails were flooded this year, and there. is no other way than to make the clerks work this year than in 1S99'
