strike must be ordered by the executive
council of the organization. he contin-
ued. but all indications point to a big
tie-up. The situation in nutshell is
simply this: We have formulated our
demands for an advance of about 20 per
cent. in wages and the removal of GER
tain conditions that exist in the anthra-
cite region. Principal among these is
that the operators in dealing with the
miners allow $500 pounds to ton and
i'll selling coal sell 1000 pounds for
ton. If the strike is ordered I believe
that 10000 men will come out

BONI'S HOME SAVED.
Count Castellane's Creditors Are
Satisfied by the Gould
Family.

: Paris. Sept. lit is not known why
the sale of Count Castelane's castle
was cOuntermanded. Countess Anna,
though failing to sway her brothers. and
especially her sister Helen, and obtain
money for Count Boni OH their last trip
to New York for that purpose some
months ago, decided to make last APP
peal and her distress was so pitifu that
Edwin Gould was touched and he finally
prevailed upon George. The brothers
then sent for Count Boni, and after i'm
posing upon him some rather severe con
dtions put up enough money to pay the
main creditors and stop the sale.
Some well-informed friends allege that
Count BOni. when he saw how desirOus
the Gould family were to prevent the
scandal of a sale under the hammer. took
advantage of the situation and refused
to accept any help unless his whole debts
were wiped out.
The same people further affirm that
George Gould refused to trust the money
in the counts hands and paid the cred
itors himself, the sum thus advanced az
gregating 100000 francs (about ST.

CLEARS THE ATMOSPHERE
Russia IS DisavOwal of PiraticaI Ann
bitiOn Respecting China.

London, Sept. 1.-The Chinese minis
ter to London, Sir Chih Chen Lohfen-
gluh, views with lively satisfaction the
latest aspect of the situation in the far
East. When advised that the Russian
government had addressed the American
department of state, disclaiming all
thought of Selling any Chinese territory
and intimating its intention of ordering
an Immediate withdrawal of the Rus
sian troops from Pekin. pending the
peace negotiations, his eXcellCncy said
that apparently the majority of the pow
ers, following the lead of Russia and the
United States, had decided upon the only
rational course open to them.
"Russia's Outspoken disavOwal of pi-
ratica ambitions greatly clarifies the at
mOsphere,' continued the minister
While we have always been disposed to
take seriously the Cars professed desire
for international harmony, some of us
have begun of late to be doubtful about
the matter. The language of the Rus
sian general, who reported to his gov
eminent the result of the operations along
the Amur river. stating that the river
now lay wholly within Russian territory,
naturally proved disqueting. while the
formal occupation of New Chwang left
little room for hope that a just policy
would come from st. Petersburg
United States Influence.
1T would be hard to Overestimate the
good influence of the United States to-
ward the right shaping of things during
this crisis. The Gar admires Amer-
cans and wishes to leave nothing undone
to win their friendship and respect
Doubtless he would have pursued this
unexceptionable policy in China indie
pendently of all eXtraneous circum,
stances and considerations; but we may
be sure that he adopted this conciliatory
programme with especial readiness be-
cause he knew that he would thus graft
fly the Washington government and the
American people.
"All that the powers now have to do
is to withdraw from Pekin and permit
the Empress Dowager and her court to
return. Shortly thereafter the imperial
functions will be fully resumed. and
peace will return to China Further
outrages on the part of the Boxers need
not be anticipated. The ruling house
now appreciates the destructive results
of the disturbances and will not suffer
them to be again fOmented.
''One of the revelations of the crisis
has been the strength of the provincial
governments. The viceroys succeeded in
holding the ground Of the Emperor. not
withstanding the temporary demolition
of the throng."

COST OF CHINESE WAR.
United States Has Incurred an Elk.
pense of About ST. 5,OOO,OOO.

Washington, d. c., Sept. lit is esti-
mated the cost to this government of the
trouble in China will amount to S1o, 0O0,-
600. This is the estimate placed upon
the expense of sending warships to Chi
nese waters, of placing marines and blue
jackets on shore in China, and dispatch
ing troops to the Chinese capital.
The estimate is regarded as a conserva-
tive enc, and is made by an official who
is in q position to know or the great cost
of carrying cut the American part of the
allied scheme for relieving the besieged
foreigners at Pekin
The cost of transportation is, of course
the largest item, since the government
utilized all the facilities at its command
in getting troops from the Philippines
and this country into China.
The cost of equipment comes next
Most of the material was purchased under
an emergency and in the open market,
with little competition, and the govern
ment, in view of the urgency of the
demand and the possibility of further
trouble. was not able TO ask for bids and
take advantage of a drop in prices
The cost of maintaining the forces in
China is greater than it would be IN any
other territory outside of this country.
Nearly everything has to be taken from
the outside and usually from great dis
tance. Special arrangements had to be
made for the comfort of the troops, such
as the purchase of fuel pots for the army
and stoves SO coal as well as wood might
be used. The army has been obliged to
build large storehouses, fact not COM
monty known. at or near Taku, for the
keeping of it's reserve supplies and its
provisions.
This and other unusual items of ex-
pense will bring the final cost of the Chi
nese expedition to high figure. By the
time the allied forces have withdrawn
from China the expenses of this govern
ment incidental to the Chinese war will
be $15,000,0O0 and may reach nearly
$20,O00.0O0.
Crop of Rumors from Shanghai.
London, Sept. lin the absence of
definite, reliable news from China Shang-
hal is again distributing crop of rumors.
According to reports from that city Great
Britain has furnished Liu Kuen Yih, the
viceroy of Nankin, and Chang Chih
Tung, the viceroy of Hankow, with
strong guarantees against the reported
intention of the Dowager Empress to
supersede them on account of their al
legged pro-foreign tendencies. The guar
antees are also said to include opposition
to all attempts to dismember China.
The imperial court, it is reported, re-
mains at Tai Yuan Flu, capital of the
province of Shan ST, afraid to move ow-
ing to stories that Chinese troops are
ravaging the country far and wide and
