morning. Upon leaving the White
House the minister said he had con.
veyed to the president message from
the emperor of China, thanking Presi.
dent Mckinley for the consideration
shown by the United States during the
Chinese trouble. The minister also
brought q dispatch from Shanghai from
the southern viceroys stating that the
imperial party had reached Tung.Kuan,
only few miles from Sinan.Fu, the
new capital, on Oct. q.
Referring to the report from Peking
that the edict for the punishment of
certain Chinese officials had been
forged, Minister WI said such story
was preposterous and should receive no
credence whatever. If any one should
issue a false decree of that character it
Would be very easy, he said, to ascer-
tain his identity and he certainly would
be beheaded

BONE OF CONTENTION.

Question of Lower Freight Rates Causes
Much Discussion.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18.-The con-
ference between the individual coal
operators and the representatives Of
tho big coal carrying companies with a
view to bring about the termination Of
the anthracite coal strike was resumed
during the morning in the private of.
flee of President Harris of the Reading
Railway company. The meeting was
secret and those taking part declined to
discuss anything in connection with
the strike.
The opinion was expressed by persons
in touch with the situation that the
main bone Of contention between those
participating in tho conference are the
freight charges exaoted by the coal car
rying companies. In considering the
resolutions of the Mine Workers con-
vention it is said that an agreement of
the present coal carrying companies to
reduce the freight charges will clear
the way for all early settlement of the
strike. A discussion of this rather
than the resolutions of the mine work
ers is principally occupying the atten-
tion of the conference. The question
of abolition of the sliding scale, which
is in operation in the Schuylkill and
Lehigh regions only, is also subject
for discussion.
Demands Finally Agreed TO.
The conference resulted in an agree.
ment to accede to the demands made
by the Mine Workers convention. The
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company at once issued the fol-
lowing statement:
1.-The Reading Coal and Iron company
hereby withdra, } the notice posted
Oct. 8, 1900, and to bring about prac-
tical uniformity in the advance of
wages in the several coal regions, gives
notice that it will suspend the opera
tion OF the sliding scale, will pay 10 per
cent advance on September wages till
April l, 1901, and thereafter until
further notice; and will take up with
its mine employees any grievances
which they may have"
The Lehigh Valley company, in
whose region the sliding scale is also in
operation, will publish similar notice,
as will also the individual operators
who were represented at the meeting.
This meets all the demands of the
strikers and means the Immediate end
ing of the strike.
