the Shanghai correspondent of the Morn

leaders of the anti-foreign uprising. After
a few hours grace he will formally de-
clare war, and, taking advantage of Ger
many S position as belligerent, he vii
proceed to assemble the available German
forces and fleet. 1t is expected that Ger
many will take the WI Sing forts and
the Kiangan arsenal, thus dominating
Shanghai. 1t is also believed that she
will attack the Khan Win forts on the
Yang Use from the land side and en-
deavor to seize the Chinese fleet, inclld
ing the valuable new cruisers. Failing
this, she will at least occupy all the prov
ince of King Su, north of the Yang Use

According to the Reports the Num-.

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept Pit was
learned tonight that Sheriff Harvey, Of
this Quzerne) county, has telegraphed to
Gov. Stone asking that troops be sent to
this county, on the ground that he (the
sherifD cannot guarantee the safety of
persons or property during the night
marches of the strikers. The governor,
it is understood, is considering the mat
ter. 1t is also understood that the sher-
iff s request was backed up by several
kilograms from private citizens of Halle
tor, who, it is said, were mine opera tors.
1t is believed that the sheriff is of the
opinion that the presence of troops will
prevent any further marching, thus less
ening the possibility of serious trouble
Last nights march of 300 men from Gran
berry Tomhicken, Derringer and Gowen
probably fastening the action of Sheriff
Harvey in asking for state help. The
strikers met after midnight at Cranber-
ry, and when they reached Tomhicken
they were stopped by Sheriff Harvey and
thirty armed deputies, who went to that
place on SPECIAL train.
READ THE RIOT ACT.
1t was IN the Qafk, ana the Sner1n READ
the riot act to them by the light Of Ian
tern The strikers then scattered in diff
felent directions and began missionary
work in preventing mine workers from
gong to the Potts mines at Tomhicken,
Derringer and Gowen. They were sue
cessfnl in preventing a large number of
men from going to work, and in conse-
quence the Gowen and Derringer mines
were crippled.
The most important development here,
aside from the request for soldiers, was
the answer of G. 3. Markle & Co, to
the demands presented by the firms en-
ployes, ten days ago. The answer is not
considered satisfactory by many of the
Markle employees, and what action they
viii take at their meeting tomorrow is
not certain. There is much talk among
them tonight In favor of a strike
President Mitchell, discussing the situ-
alton tonight, said
Reports from the SchuylkiiI district
are to the effect that the entire district
from Mahanoy City to Schuyl5in is idle.
This is a gain of three large colIieries.
In the Lehigh valley district Eck,ey,
Derringer,. Tomhicken and Gowen were
closed today, and we made satisfactory
gains at other mines, where the men have
been working, 1t is generally conceded
that the strike in the Schuylkill district
will soon embrace every man employed
there. On the whole, We are well salts
fed with the status Of the strike"

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept 25.-The jury
in the Howard case reported at 5:1S
O. clock this afternoon that the Jurors had
been unable to make a verdict. The jury
