toward Beaumont. The wind increased so rapidly, coming in from the open sea, that soon the water had reached level with the bottom of the seats within the cars It was then that some of the passengers sought safety in the near by light house. But MT. Poe states in his telegram that in spite of all efforts eighty-fve passengers were blown away or drowned. The train was entirely wrecked.
 Doubtless some of the killed were from New Orleans, as the train made direct connections with the Southern Pacific train which left here Friday night and there a large number of New Orleans pas- sengers aboard, and it is known that at least some of these were bound for Gal weston.
 Those who were saved had to spend over fifty hours in the dismal light house on almost no rations The experience is one they will remember as one of the most ter rible of their whole lives.

At Wilkesbarre

Wilkesbarre, Pa., September 13.-All the coleries in this region are in operation today with practically full forces of men. Nearly all of the heads of the big com panies today say they believe but a small portion of the men will strike on Monday Officials of the Susquehana Company which employs 5000 workers, express the opinion that the men will strike as they are thoroughly organized.
 Idany of the companies are today polling their men on the question of the strike and officials of the Bliss colleriery, of the Delaware, Lackawana and Western Coal Company are of the opinion that the en- tire force of 1000 will stop work.
 At the meeting of the local assembly of the United Mine Workers this afternoon and evening, Presidnet Mitchelrs order will be ready. All union men will be ex- pected to take their tools out of the mines Saturday. The operators profess confidence that not more than 20 per cent of men employed by the Pennsylvania Company at Pittston and vicinity will go out and the oinciais of the company say they have already received applications from men who want good positions.

Republicans Worried

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The anthracite coal miners strike called last night by Presi- dent Mitchell, of the United Mine workers Association, was a subject of serious con- sideration at Republican national head quarters. Senator Hanna and Vice Chair man Payne held a long consultation with the resident members of the advisory com mittee as to the best steps to take, that political color be not given the industrial difficulty in Pennsylvania. At the close of the conference nothing definite was given out.

At Shanokin

Shamokin, Pa, Sept. 1S.-There was a great stir among the miners and mine workers at the different collieries near this place today because of President MitchelPs strike order. Those who were in favor of obeying the command enthusiastically ap- plauded his action. while other kept silent, declaring that they would cease work rath- CT than be called hard names. A careful canvass since last night indicates that de- spite the claim of the operators that enough men will report for work to keen the collieries in operation after next Mon day. all or nearly all of the operations be- tween Traverton and Mount Carmel, em- ploying over 14,00O men and boys in a dis trict embracing four miles, with Shamokin in the center will likely be idle before seven days have elapsed.

Russia Making Preparations

St. Petersburg, September 13.-The Noev- ramya says quarters have already been secured at Tien Tsin for the Russian troops leaving Pekin. The paper adds that some detachments will march to Taku and re- main there, but the majority will return to Port Arthur or Talium Wan for the winter.
 A dispatch from Saratov says that the dispatch of batteries of artillery and the purchase of horses for the use of the Rus sian army in the Far Beast have been countermanded.

RUSSIA MAY ACT
Pekin Dispatch Says Her Legations
 Will Withdraw

London, September 4.-4 a. m.-No fur ther light is thrown this morning upon u Hung Chang's intended movements. The Times has an interesting dispatch from Pe- kin, dated September 1, which says, in part:
 Russia has decided to withdraw her le- gation from Pekin, leaving purely mili- tary command An official announcement of this is expected today The other pow CTS will also presumably withdraw their legations, leaving Pekin under the military control of the allies during the winter at least.
 At a meeting of generals the Russian commander announced that Russia would maintain 15,000 troops during the winter. The German commander says that Ger many would keep the same number, and the JapanSe commander announced that Japan would have 22,OO0. The British gen. eral was not in a position to make an an- nouncement
 There is every indication, however, that Lord Salisbury has decided that our pres ent subordinate position in Pekin must be- come still humber. In the best informed quarters the opinion is expressed that Russia and Germany are acting in accord, Russia seeking the definite annexation of all territory north of the great wall and Germany the annexation of Shan Tung, Kiang Su and the Yang Tse provinces. Russia seeks also to restore the power of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in order to enable her to wield her infiu- ence through them over the remaining provinces. The dsmemberment of China seems almost inevitable.
 ''The Empress Dowager has retained Prince Chings son as a hostage for his father.'
 The Shanghai correspondent of. the Times, wiring Wednesday, confirms the re- ports of the uneasy feeling there concern- ing Germany's intentions towards the Yang Tse provinces, and especially the Ki- ang Min forts
 The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times says he is in position to assert positively that the Russian troops in Man churia are preparing for winter cam paign.

WANTED IN CHICAGO.
Alleged Wire Tnppers and Swindlers
Held in New York

Detective McNamec. now in New York
City, telegraphs that at a hearing yester-
day before United States Commissioner
Charles Fagenbusch and Harry Dubois
alleged swindlers and wire tappers, were
held in custody to await the arrival of
requisition papers from Chicago. The
prisoners are wanted in Chicago on
charges of false pretences.
Some weeks ago Fagenbusch and Du-
bois were arrested in this city by Detec-
tives Helan and McNamee, and the Chi
cago police notified. After remaining at
the Second precinct station from Friday
until Monday, the prisoners were brought
before Justice Bradley in the Criminal
Court on a writ of habeas corpus, OBJ
tanned by their counsel, Campbell Car
rington. Upon the writ, supported by af-
fidavits by the prisoners, Judge Bradley
ordered their release. Shortly afterward
the men left the city, but watch was kept
on their movements. Several days ago
they were again arrested in New York, it
is said, on information furnished by the
local police. Detective McNamee then
went to the metropolis, where he identi-
fed the men and was present at the hear
ing yesterday. In Chicago several COM
plants are entered against the prisoners
Requisition papers addressed to Chief
Justice Bingham, of the District Supreme
Court, were received here shortly after
the release of Fagenbusch and Dubois.
The pspers were returned to Chicago, but
it is understood steps have been taken to
secure the removal of the accused from
New York TO Chicago within a few days.

DEATH PENALTIES IMPOSSIBLE
Chinese Minister to Germany Dis
cusses Punishment of OmciaIs.

cusses Punishment of Oflcials.
LONDON, Nov. 24.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times says he learns
that many Of the statements of the Amer
lean press regarding the attitude of the
United States on the Chinese question are
unauthorized and adds that the Washing
ton Government has shown itself disposed
to go much further than is supposed in
the direction of infiictIng condign punish
ment on the ringleaders of the outrages.
The same correspondent virtually as
cribes to Lu Hal Houn. the Chinese Min
lister to Germany, curious article which
appears in the "Ostasiatische Correspond
ence," containing a suggestion as to the
form the punishment of the guilty Chinese
ought to take. The writer admits that
the true obstacle to China's acceptance of
the proposal of the Powers is the demand
for the heads of the guilty. He recon-
mends that the allies be content with ex-
ecuting such sentences as the Chinese
Emperor thinks fit.
These would not be capital. but would
provide for Punishment for long periods.
They would serve their terms of Danish
meut IN the countries to which they were
allotted by the Emperor. who would rely
upon the humanity of their jaiIers to
treat them, well. They would be expected
to devote their exile to atonement of the
crimes into which they fell through spe-
cies of mental alteration and to the study
of the language, morals, and customs of
their custodians

induce the two viceroys to agree to Eng
lands sending troops up the Yangtse
kfang and stopping supplies going to the
court at Singan-fu.
This attempt is similar to the one made
by Admiral Seymour last August to have
only British troops landed at Shanghai.
which ended in failure owing to the fact
that the other Powers at once landed
troops also. Such action as is sought to
be carried out would only hasten the par
tition of China, as 1t is exactly similar to
Russia's policy in Manchuria.
Local statements to the effect that DR..
Knappe. the German Consul General. ask
ed Viceroy Liu Kun vi for the privilege
of sending a large German force into the
Yangtse Valley are absolutely unreliable.
They seem to have been made for political
purposes. 1t is believed that the Iangtse
Viceroys should be supported in their
neutral attitude and not forced into a
compromising position.
