In buying the American mules the
British officers have been careful, as
far as possible, to get those that have
been trained. This word trained
suggests a possible mule curriculum,
but it means merely those who have
been in harness and done bit OF

These new mules are to be used
only for transportation purposes -
that is, for hauling the long Cape
wagons" ten or twelve mules to each

carry packs, the former function OF

the following from Ticn Tsin, dated
Oct. 81 "A German force came into
collision with 5000 Chinese described
as Boxers, a few miles south OF Tien
Tsin this morning. The Germans were
checked and compelled to retire on
Tien Tsin. There is reason to believe
that the Chiuese in this case were not
Boxers. but were Ia Hung Chang's
veterans. who had been ordered 60 wait
near here in view Of the possibility that
the foreigners would bar his progress

A Hong Kong dispatch says: Satur-
day thousand rebels attacked the
market town OF Sai-Wan, eight miles
northeast OF San Chuh but were de-
ieated. The people Of San Chun closed
their shops, expecting 60 be attacked
also. The troops are being held in
readiness for any emergency. and tho
police forces along the Kowloon from
tier have been increased.
A Tien Tsin dispatch of Saturday
says: III Hung Chang, whose visit 70
Pehn had apparently been postponed
indefinitely, left this morning for tho
Chinese capital.
The five Belgian engineers and 10
missionaries who had been kept pris-
oners for many weeks at Pao Ting FAl,
but were recently released under or
ders from Ii Hung Chang, who di-
rected that they have safe escort to
Pekin, refuse to start. fearing treach-
cry on the part of the Chinese escort.
According to native reports both SOL
diers and people have fed from Pao-
Iing-Fu. The expedition to that point
has been delayed owing to the lack Of
transport for the Germans
In a dispatch from Pekin to The
Times, dated Oct. /, Or. Morrison
says:
IT looks now as If NJ. De Giers, tho
Russian minister to China, would ne
gotiate with III Hung Chang at Tien
Isin. The American withdrawal will
facilitate Russia's negotiations concern

1t is reported that Tung Flu Hsiang

The impression is growing that the
imperial government is making an ef-
fort to disperse and punish the Box

seen Monday Of last week near Pei-Ta-
Chu are believed to have been con-
cerned in this movement The acting
viceroy at Tien Tsin was notified that

Philadelphia, Oct. s.-steve Flana-
gan, the noted bantamweight pugilist
died Saturday night at the Hahnemann
hospital. From the time Of his col
lapse during his contest with James
Franey, otherwise known as Jimmy
Devine,' at Industrial Hall. on Friday
night, until he breathed his last Flan-
agan remained in a state of uneon-
seriousness, with little or no signs Of
life until late Saturday afternoon.
The attending physicians were in
hopes that an operation could be per-
formed in order to save his life, and
death came at a time when the little
boxer was showing signs of improve
ment.
Just what action the authorities will
take in the matter can not be learned
at this time. Captain of Police Malin,
who was at the ringside when Flana-
gan collapsed on Friday night, and
who placed Devine and his seconds, as
well as the handlers of Flanagan, un-
der arrest, said he could not say what
further action would be taken in the
case. He did not know whether the
men released on bail would be rear
rested and required to furnish extra
security.
Flanagan's death was due to hemor-
rhage Of the brain, but the cause can
not be determined until the post NOR
TEN examination is held. During the
contest with Devine Flanagan had the

did not fall from the effects Of a blow.

GERMANS ARE FORCED TO RETIRE
BY EIGHT THOUSAND CHINESE
SKILLED WORK MIN MUST
SATISFY THE LABORERS

Scranton. Pa. Oct Now that n
convention to consider the 10 per cent
Offer is assured. attention is turned to
the question OF what the companies
mean by 10 per cent I'm the case Of the
miner and his labor.
The miner works by contract and
pays the laborers out OF his earnings
AS a rule the miner cuts six lOads OF
coal, for which he gets $3.50 Out OF
this he pays for powder, oil and re-
pair of tools and the wages Of his
helper. The laborors' pay Is fixed at
90 much per day, and In this region it
averages about Sl75. After paying the
lahorer and the expense OF powder
oil. etc. the miner has about $3.50 left
for himself. Ten per cent advance
gives the miner 63 cents extra per day.
The laborer wants his 10 per cent, or
IS cents, and as a consequence the
miner must be content with 10 cents
extra, or z per cent But IN many in-
stances a miner has two lahorers. This
means that sc cents must come out OF
the G3 cents, and the miner finds him
self enjoying an advance OF only per-
cent.
Just how the operators want this
offer interpreted IS not known here,
The local operators say that the men
who framed the offer either did not
have in mind that the miner pays the
laborer, or else figured the laborer cut

have recently reinforced Gen. Young

gents are concentrating in the noun
tains of North and South Ilocos prov
inces, under the leadership Of Agli-

Gen. Tino and Gen. Villeneuve, who
had been quiet for some time, are now
showing signs Of becoming active, as
the end of the rainy season approaches.
OF late there has been considerable
scouting and Gkirmishing in the prov
inces of Abra and North Ilocos, though
without decisive results. It is OBJ
yious, however, that the maneuvers Of
the Filipinos are more skillful than
formerly. and that the field tactics
of the Americans are being followed
by them.

was captured by the Americans last
