TIEUP MORE COMPLETE.
Lines of the Striking Miners Remain
Unbr0ken. .E

Lines of the Striking Miners Remain
Unbroken.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25.-Contrary
to the expectation of the mine operators
the lines of the strikers remain un-
broken and the second week of the
strike in the anthracite field opened
with the tieup of the mines more COM
plete than at any time since the strike
began.
The presence of the soldiers in the
field has had quieting effect on the
strikers and the best of order is reported
from every district. There are no great
gains or losses on either side although
the Philadelphia and Reading company
has fewer collieries in operation in the
Schnylkill region than at any previous
time.
Demonstrations were made by the
troops in various parts of Schuylkin
county during the morning. The
striking mine workers stood by and
watched the marching militiamen but
they showed no outward sign Of feel.
ing.
Reports from various parts of the
country show that hard coal is getting
scarcer and the price is going higher.
The Reading company, which prac-
tically controls the market now, is
shipping less coal than ever.

English and German Papers Comment
Unfavorably ON Americas Answer. 8
LONDON, Sept. 25.-The afternoon
newspapers which comment on the
American reply to the German note at
tribute it to the political exige.cies."
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
'.It is shock to find the government
at Washington taking the position
that the question of the punishment of
Chinese responsible for the outrage,
torture and murder of American citi-
zens should be left to the initiative of
the murderers themselves, for it is inn
possible to doubt that the responsible
authors are the imperial authorities
The Globe says: "The refusal must
have mischievous effect at Picking.
Much as President McKinley's attitude
is to be deplored it can have no effect
on the British government which, Of
course, will continue to insist that the
punishment of the proved murderers
shall be an indispensable condition pre-
cedent to the negotiations.
BERLIN, Sept. 25.-Discussing the
answer of the United Staves govern
ment to Germany's proposal regarding
the Chinese settlement, The Vossische
Zeiting says:
''America's abandonment of the con-
cert Of the powers will not have serious
consequences for their diplomatic ne.
gotiations, but it will render their task
more difficult, inasmuch as nothing SO
increases Chinese presumption and in
science as the knowledge that harmony
in the ranks of their opponents has
been disturbed The action of the
United States is equivalent to an aban-
donment of the common interests Of
Occidental civilization and probably
will lead to prolongation of blood
she'd"

PROMISE OF PROTECTION,
It Has Little Eject on the Situation at
ShenandOah. ..

1t Has Little Effect ON the Situation at
Shenandoah. .
SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. 25.-The
promise of protection by the state troops
failed to encourage the mine workers
Of this region who expressed desire to
continue at work and the strike in this
region is more extensive than at any
time since the strike was inaugurated.
It is stated that not colliery in the Vi
cinity of this city has resumed opera
tions owing to the failure of the en-
ployes to report for duty.
Messages received from various towns
in the region announced that every
mine from Mahonoy City to Ashland,
including the Lattimer place, is closed.
1t is estimated that
Fully Fifteen Thousand Men,
employed principally by the Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron COM
pany and the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, are now on strike and indication
point to a continuance Of the tieup.
At an early hour five battalions
of infantry and one. troop of cavalry
proceeded to the outskirts of the town
and marched along the numerous roads
leading to the various mines. They
met with but few strikers and the
number of employees willing to work
was still less. Opinion is divided here
as to whether the non-strikers are thor
oughly intimidated by the threats of
the strikers or whether agents of the
United Mine Workers have succeeded
in better organizing the union.

SHOOT TO KILL.
Official of the Cambridge Coal

Peace Which Pervades the Strike

Presence Of Troops Has No Eff
feet on the Number Of Men
in the Galleries.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. 25.-The
peace which pervades the entire coal
field is in danger Of being disturbed,
General Goblin thinks. He received in.
formation that an attack is to be made
on Preston No. 3 mine Of the Reading
company at Girardville, about eight
miles from here. Troops have been
ordered there. A disturbance is ex.
pected at the Cambridge colliery oper-
ated by the Cambridge Coal company,
south of here. OF the 14o men EN-.
ployed at the mine, 130 men went to
work and every man is said to be
armed. ]. @. McGinnes, one Of the of
1icials of the company, addressed the
men and said:
Flight if you must, retreat when at
tackled. will ire the first shot. When
I fire fight for your lives. Don't shoot
until do and then shoot to kill"

NO ANSWER YET
Powers Still Considering Ameri-
can Notes Explaining It's
Chinese Position.
Expected That Some Days Will
Elapse Before Any New
Move Is Made.
Understood Chaffee's Force Will
Be Reduced to Fifteen
Hundred Men.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.--The position
of the United States on China. as made
known in the notes made public, is re-
ceiving the earnest confederation Of the
other powers and their representatives
here. It 10 looked ppon .ss sort Of
turning point in the negotiations on
which the alignment OF the several
countries will be determined and their
programmes framed. There has been
no word, however, from any Of the
governments concerning their view Of
the American position, and it is ex-
pected that some days will elapse be-
fore any new move is made. There is
reason to believe that the American
note was considered at Berlin by those
chief in authority, but this brought no
positive Developments thus far.
The Chinese minister has not heard
from Ii Hung Chang or Prince Ching
since the purposes Of this govern ment
were made known to them. Minister
WI continues to
Express the Earnest Hope ~
that the United States will take the
lead in bringing about settlement.
Aside from its benefits to all the pow
ers and to China the minister said it
would establish lasting bonds between
this country and China and would pave
the way for treaty rela ions of the most
character for American
commercial interests.
In accordance with the statement
made to Germany to the effect that the
Unred States government is about to
author,zs Mr.. Conger to enter forth
with INTO conference with the duly au-
tnorized representatives of the Chinese
government with a view to bringing
auour, d preliminary agreement, Acting
secretary of state Hill spent some time
framing the direction to Mr.. Conger.
In view of the peculiarly delicate ma
ture of the task to be confided to Mr..
Con ser, this is work requiring much
thought.
1t is now understood that General
Chaffee's military force will be reduced
to about 500 men. q

NO MINERS RESPOND.

Ohcials of the Cameron Colliery En-
deavor to Start Their Plant.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, Sept. 26. The Off
cials of the Cameron. colliery, one of
the largest operations in this place. en-
deavored to start the works during the
morning, but no miners responded to
the blowing of the whistles. A fruit
less attempt was made to resume work
at several other collieries between here
and Centralia. but the men remained
away.
The North Franklin and Locust
spring collieries at the Riverton and
Locust Gap, operated by the Philadel-
phia and Reading Coal and Iron COM
pany, are still working. Everything
is quiet in this district.

NOT YET FORWARDED.

Directions to Minister Conger Relating
to Peace Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The direc-
tions to Minister Conger to put himself
in relation with Ii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching has not yet gone forward.
The message practically has been
framed, but its form is subject to the
approval of the president.
In view of the talk in European capi-
tails of counter propositions to that
made by the United States relative to
these preliminaries, it begins to appear
that the officials here were correct in
their first estimate of the time that
would be required to mark the taking
of the next step in the Chinese matter.

WITHOUT RESISTANCE.

Small Russian Force Occupies the Lu-
Tai Forts.
TAKU, Sept. 26.-A Russian force Of
six companies of infantry and two
sqnadrons of cavalry has occupied the
Lu-Tai forts without suffering any
casualties. The Chinese had pre-
viously fed.
The Russians are building the Tien
Tsin railway station and others, and
the prospect that the railway will be
handed over to another power is re-
mote. The Russian minister, M. de
Giers, viii remain at Peking for the
present.
An expedition will start from Taku
for Pao- Tng-Fu Sept. 30.

TO STOP OUTRAGEs.

Punishment by Chinese Government
Would He Effective.
H WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-State de-
partment officers in discussing the
criticism Of the German newspapers
upon the American reply to the exem-
plary punishment proposal, point out
that the German note suggests q form
of punishment which would be less ef-
fective in preventing future outrages
than that which our government, in its
reply, proposes. Our aim is to have
the imperial government of China do
the Furnishing Of its guilty subjects
rather than that the foreign govern
b,ents should undertake this task on
fnair account.

Funeral Of the Dead striker.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. 25. John
Chomitski, the Polander who was. shot
and killed during the riot last Friday,
was buried during the day. The fu-
neral was an impressive spectacle, fully
5000 mine workers following the body
TO the grave. AS the strikers pro-
ceeded toward the home of the dead
man, they passed a battalion Of the
Fourth regiment returning from patrol
duty around the mines.

surprise for the Operators.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Sept. 25.-Notwith-
standing the efforts OF operators none
of the collieries in this vicinity have
resumed work. The miners as body
remained away from the colieries to
the surprise Of several operators who
were confident their mines would be
able to start up. Attempts were also
made to work collieries between here
and Mount Carmel but scarcely any
miners reported.

Not En.irely an Aoceptanee.

PARIS, Sept. 25.-France's reply to
Germany's note making the punish
ment of the instigators of the Chinese
troubles preliminary to peace negotia-
tions is not entirely an acceptance Of
the proposition. France argues that
punishment is necessary but would ne
gotiate under certain conditions with
out first Furnishing the guilty officials.
