of the striking mine workers were con-
siderabIy augmented today in this re-
gion, and although the employees of

immediate vicinity of this town suffi-
cient men reported to continue opera
tons. This was the Cambridge COL
iery, owned by James McGinnis & Co,
which gives employment to 40 men,
and of this number 130 are said to
have worked today
In anticipation of trouble the troops
were on the move early in the morning.

lions to move over the roads leading

sent by train to McAdoo, Audenroid
and MahanOy City All returned TO

shot and killed during Fridays riot.

philadelphia. Pa, Sept. 24.-Instead
If the expected clash between the
troops and the striking miners in the
Schuylkin region today, peaceful
calm prevailed in the region, and there
was not the slightest disorder for the
soldiers to be called upon to quell- In
fact. all the districts of the anthracite
coal fields today were extremely quiet,
there being no demonstration whatever
on the part of the strikers.
While the operators claim that a
number of their employees returned 70
work at the mines in the Schuylkill re-
gfnn IL was early in the day evident
that operators did not assume the activ-
ity which the mine owners had yes
terday anticipated. and indications to-
night are that tomorrow Will find
more idle cOllieries than at any time
since the strike began.
The soldiers moved over the roads
leading 10 the cOllieries in SchuylkiIl
county from early morning, and thus
afforded protection to those DESTROYS of
returning TO work No opposition was
encountered, however, and not very
great many awaited themselves of the
protection offered
The strike leaders claim many ad-
diti0nS TO their ranks. and President
Mitchell himself estimates that the
striking force was augmented today TO
the extent Of 1000
No pvertures to end the struggle have
been offered by either side. The strike
leaders are occupying themselves in in
ducinS mine workers to quit, and tho
operators are endeavOrIng to mine all
the coal they can with their reduced
force.
Meantime. coal shipments from the
mines are daily growing less, and re-
ports of advances in the price of the
commodity are received from all trad

Serious Consequences of Such
Serious Consequences of Such

New York, Sept. PA dispatch to the
Herald from Shanghai says:
Prince Tuan is declared by Taotai Sheng
to have been appointed grand secretary
to the emperor, a position enabling him
to control all communications to and
from the throne. This constitutes a de-
fiance of Germany's demand for Prince
Tuan's punishment as head of the Boxers.
The TaOtai of Shanghai, who signed for
the yicerOyS the friendly agreement with
the foreign conSulS, has been removed by
imperial edict, his successor being strong

The Washington correspondent of the

considerable interest was taken by

appointed secretary in defiance of Ger

The position Is not now important 1t is a
Slnecure- Before the present dynasty en-
tered into power the grand Secreta rVShiO
was very important post, all of the
communications TO the emperor passing
through the hands of the incumbent The
pr1Yy council is now the important body
and could very well believe a report that
Prince Tuan had been appointed to mem

the report that he has been made grand

1t Is not believed that the appointment
