VIII Consider the Matter.

Piston. Pa. July delegates rep
resenting 104 local lodges of the United
Mine Workers, with a membership Of
about $4,000, have begun series of ses-
sions here. The chief matter to come
up for discussion was the strikes at pres
ent existing in the anthracite district.
There are about a dozen of them and
most of them have been going on for
some time. The delegates will try to
devise some means of bringing the oper-
ators and men to agree. The dockage
question, which has been the cause Of
considerable trouble in the past, will
also be discussed.

rotary Long will not order the battle
ship Oregon to proceed to Taku when
her repairs have been completed. Upon

Kurea to supervise the repairs. 1t is

ton REQUIRE her presence.

WASHINGTON, July o. An allied
force of nearly 100000 men VIII be in
China within few weeks.
The figures are larger than given
heretofore, but are based on better in
formation which has just reached here.
The allies at Taku and at Tien Tsin now
number $4,000 men, The reinforcements
under orders consist of $4,000 Japanese
troops, 10, 900 Germans, 10, 900 Russians,
II, 900 Americans, 10000 British, 5000
French and 5000 Italians
1t is learned that the several govern
ments desiring an expression as to the
number of men required to establish or
der in China, recently asked the adj
mlrals at Taku TO make an estimate.
The admirals consulted together and the
highest estimate seems to have been
made by the japanese officer, who placed
the number at between 70, 900 and 100,-
900. The estimates of the British, Rus
sian and German officers were smaller.
AS TO that made by Admiral Kempff,
the authorities decline to speak. But
there is reason to believe that it was
slightly less than the lowest figure of
the Japanese commander. 1t may be
that it is Admiral Kempff's statement
that has caused the officials to hesitate
to urge the dispatch of troops to Taku
until the arrival Of the Japanese division
and tie Ninth infantry, wnlcn will
bring the fighting strength of the allies
to about $4,000. Upon the arrival of the
Japanese division at Taku the question
of the officer who will be placed in SUI
preme command will naturally arise.
The Japanese corpse will be commanded
by a Japanese general, and so far as
known here, he will be the ranking off,
GER.
Russia may not wish to permit Japan
to have the preponderating forces and
the commander also, and may send an
officer with the rank of general to COM
mand her forces. He will, of course,
rank with the Japanese officer So far
as this government is concerned it is
willing to have any efficient officer in
command, be he Russian or Japanese,
provided the start OF the expedition to
relieve Peking is prompt.

BATTLE BEFORE ITEM TsIN.
Chinese Routed With Heavy Loss After
Seven Hours Fighting.

LONDON, July 9.--The latest news
from Tien Tsin is contained in news
agency message dated Friday, July q,
reporting a renewed Chinese attack that
morning with 10 guns. The allied forces
replied with the guns landed from the
British first-class cruiser Terrible and
mixed force of 1000 men made sortie
under cover of the fire of the naval bril-
gade and attacked the Chinese, who re-
tired after seven hours fighting.
Earlier dispatches received show fight
ing, notably on July 2 and July 3, when
the Chinese developed unexpected
strength and did considerable damage
with artillery. At the bridge, near the
French settlement, there was hard fight
ing az close quarter. The Russians, with
Gatling gun, finally compelled the
Chinese to retire, though they suffered
heavily. The operations, however, were
in no way decisive, the Chinese being
still full of fight.
About 500 men were wounded in the
fighting at Tien Tsin.

In 1925 the Union party made care
fol estimate of what the various county
oiiices could be- conducted for, and de-
'cided that reduction Of $1,000 could be
made on the yearly pay Of county offices
without importing the efficiency Of the
service. The republicans Of Marion
county met week later, and put out a
platform to reduce the amount Of the
county salaries 70 $1,000. That figure
would never have occurred to them II
tho Union party had not proposed cut
Of 5000. To make their cut on salar.
les reach $4,000, they had TO do an act
Of injustice, and Of course there being
