Hazleton, Oct. Notwithstanding
the notice posted by the mine owners at
various collieries thruout the anthracite
coal region, few IL any OF the striking
miners went to work this morning, the
situation being practically unchanged
in the Wyoming, Shenandoah and
Shamokin districts. In the Hazleton
district the only change is in favor of
the strikers. Early this morning 400
strikers marched from Freeland and
this place to the Pardee collieries at
;Lattimer. five miles from here. The
imarchers visited the homes Of the non-
strikers, quietly asking them to refrain
from continuing work. There was no
disorder of any kind. The strikers claim
to have succeeded in inducing 400 men
to quit work, but the company officials
say they did not lose that large a num-
Der. The only other colliery where any
noticeable change occurred was Pardee
& Co.'S at Cranberry, where some
.loki" engineers and driver boys struck,
thus further Gripping working.
According TO the official report Of the
Reading company it had been but sew
en- of thirty nine collieries operated by
the company working today. This is
five less than Saturday.
President Mitchell is very much
pleased over the situation. He said the
action OF the men justified his faith in
them and called attention to the verifi-
cation Of his prediction that the posting
| Of the advance would have no effect on
the strike, as the men had other griev-
ances that must be adjusted.

Yuan Shih Kai, governor of Shan Tung
province reported that the Ch1nese au-
thorities were doing all in their power to
put down the insurrection, is exceeding
~ welcome news. Tt not only confirms
the theory of the state department. that
the position of the Chinese government
is correct but it is assumed to indicate
that Yuan Shih Kai has thrown the
weight OF his influence on the side of the
government. Yuan is considered one of
the ablest ii not the ables6 generals IN
China He has, according to q statement
made by Lord Charles Beresford, to
prominent state department. official when
he was here last fall, the best drilled and
equipped army under his control. Some
doubt was entertained as to which side
he would ally himself Within the present
insurrection and the fact that he appears
to have come to the side Of the govern
ment Is accepted as a fact that his best
Judgment is that Prince Tuan's rebellion
is destined to fall.
Throughout the day the Conger mes
sage remained the absorbing topic Of dis
cussiOn.
Secretary Hay was congratulated on the
success OF the steps he had adopted to
open up communication between Pekin
and Washington, for while the chancel-
lors of the whole world stood hesitating
and inactive he had adopted a course
which had brought q message from our
minister. The Chinese minister Mr.. WI
shared also IN the universal appreciation
of what had been done. He seconded Mr..
Hay S efforts from the outset and it is
due to the official machinery set in mo-
tiOn by him THAT the communications
were gotten through 1t is appreciated
by the officials both American and Chi
nese, that there viii be suspicious in
some quarters, Against this it is declared
that message authenticated by Ameri-
can cipher code and backed by the integ-
rity OF the officials through whom is has
passed, must be accepted as authentic UNI
til something better than mere suspicion
is brought forth. Later in the day several
messages from Consul Fowler at Che
Foo, were received, all strongly confirma-
tory of the news tina the foreigners were
alive, The fact that the cablegram from
Minister Conger was given scant credence
in London official circles, had no dampen-
ing effect upon the optimism of the adj
ministratiOn officials 1t was pointed out
by one OF the officials most interested that
the weight of international evidence in
the despatch was in favor Of its genuine
ness. Besides there were the several
strongly cOrrOborative dispatches from
Consul GoOdnoW and Consul Fowler.
The fact that Minister COnger mentioned
the bombarGment of the British legation
was considered good evidence that the
message was written subsequent to the
sixth as the best information here is that
the bombardment Of the legation did not
begin prior to that date. 1t was said at
the state department. that it was not
thought expedient to give out either the
text or paraphrase of the message sent by
the state department. July IL to Minister
COnger.

COUNTERFEITERS.
An Important seizure Made at HObOIse,,,
Nj.


New York, July 20 Chief Hazen of
the secret service, with a number Of Ho-
boken policemen, went to Rutherford,
N. j., today and made one Of the biggest
seizures of counterfeits and counterfeit
ing apparatus ever taken in this section.
The seizure followed the arrest of Rich
ard 2. Genzer in Hoboken on Thursday
night He had been frequenting a re-
sort in that city and getting the barmaids
to get change for ten dollar and two dol
lar bills for him. When searched at the
station house, 10 two-dollar counterfeits'
three tens and one twenty were found on
him.
All were bogus and so well executed
that only experts could tell they were
not genuine. Genzer refused to tell
where he lived, but Chief Hazen from
papers found on the prisoner located his
home at Rutherford. The house was
searched from top to bOttom and presses
of fine make were found. There We're
also four lithographing stones in the
place which bore the impress and lines
for the printing of $40 gold certificates,
$40 gold certificates and 81 silver Certifi-
Gates There was a liberal supply Of inks
of the cOlors needed for the bills and also
a very fine imitation Of the government
paper used in genuine bills. The officers
found certificates aggregating $1,000 IN
tens, twenties and twos. All are very
we'll executed. Seventy mine dollars in
good money was also found.
Capt. Hazen said Genzer was a man
who had been arrested in New York a
year and a half ago on a charge Of having
a bad $2 bill. A man and q girl were
found in the house and arrested. The
girl gave her name as Clara Genzer and
said she was 10 years old, although shs
appears to be older. The man gave his
name when questioned as Paul Jansen
and said he was 80 years old.
The prisoners were taken to Hoboken
and looked up in the station house there.
Chief HAGEN established guard over the
house In Rutherford as he thinks IL pos
sible others were concerned in the 90 un-

DespatohesE from Yokohama announce
that another division of Japanese troops
is embarking for China, accompanied by
The Sh anghat correspondent OF the Daily
Mall asserts that Emperor kWang Su
telegraphed the Mikado an expression of
regret for the murder OF the Japanese
chancellor of legation, Sugiyama Ak1ra,
and pointed out that the community of
interests between China and Japan in
the east against the ambitions of the
western powers should lead the Japanese
emperor to make common cause with
China and to assist in the restoration of
peace. The Mlkado, according to the COR
respondent, replied that the action of the
correspondent was IN complete violation
of international law and that the murder
of Baron Won keteler WAS a gr1eVOus
offence. The Mikad0 a1aaa that the Chi
nese go yernment should suppress the dis
orders and rescue the ministers, thus
dfsarming the hostility OF the European
nations. His maJesty's despatch con-
cluded thus, Japan is cordially friendly
and is only sending troops to rescue the
foreigners in Pekin and to restore order.
She has no ulterior objects hostile to
China and If proper measures are taken
she is prepared to use her influence to-
conserve the interests of the celestial eIn-
pire.'i
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Times says he learns ON good authority
that Ii Hung Chang has undertaken to
proceed north in order to negotiate upon
three c0nd itions;
First-That a conciliatory attitude be
forthwith adopted.
Second-That the Boxers be energetical-
ly suppressed and
Third-That he, himself is not to be
held responsible even If he fails to obtain
satisfactory terms.
The corresp0n lent adds:
Il have been informed by native offi0-
ial that the v1ceroys of Nankin's Yamen
believe that a majority of the foreigners
IN Pekin escaped destruction July 8,
and that, although a portion of Gen.
Nieh's troops joined the Boxers at Tien
Tsin, a large number followed Gen. Mich
to Pekin, where they have been success
fully in assisting Prince Ching and Yung
Lu to protect the legations. This official
regards the appointment of Ii Hung
Chang as an Indication that the Epnress
Dowager realizes the futility Of prince
Tuan's promise to drive thu foreigners
into the sea and that she was attempting
to take and hold the members of the
legations as hostages.

received information from a Chinese
source, in which, however, certain reIi-
ance may be placed, that the foreign min
listers at Pekin have not been massacred.
According to this information, on July

legations burned, but the foreigners sue
ceeded in crossing the city to Prince
Ching's palace,whioh was then barricad-

own up to the time the news left, July

London, July s1.-The Daily Express
has received ths following from Tien
Tsin, dated July IS:
''1'he casualties Of the allies in the
three days fighting before the native
city of Iien Tsin, exceeded 1000. 1t is
now certain that there were several Rus
SLAMS and Frenchmen lighting on the
Chiuess side. The Chinese killed their
women by wholesale to prevent them fall
ing into the hands Of the Russians.
Yesterday the whole native city was
in flames. and the stencil of the burning
thousands of corpses was unspeakably
horrible. Among the Incidents of the
lighting on July 10 was the precipitate
light of 300 French troops from AMMAN.
They had been ordered TO hold an import
ant front, but, on being charged by the
Chinese with bayonets, the rear detach-
ment bolted panic stricken. The Rus
slams killed all the Chinese wounded in
revenge for the Pekin massacre"
