CABINETS At YORK ON GERMANY.
Trying to Induce Her to Abandon Her
Demand.

London, Sept. 25-3:3O a. ma semi
official announcement has been issued
in st. Petersburg that the European
cabinets are engaged in an endeavor to
induce Germany to abandon her de-
mand for the surrender Of the instiga-
tors of the anti-foreign outrages as a
preliminary to peace negotiations
The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle asserts that Russ.a S
reply to the German note is very friend
ly, but that although it appears to con-
sent to Germany's proposal it pr5cti-
cally disapproves by asking whether it
would not be best to open peace negoti-
ations and to make the punishment of
the instigators of the outrages the first
subject of discussion.
According to the Berlin correspondent
of the Daily Express, Germany will
make new proposal, namely, that the
great powers form an international
court to try the Chinese officials ac-
cused of completely in the outrages.
The Morning Post has the following
from it's Shanghai correspondent, dated
yesterday: 1.-The Russians recently or
ganized an expedition towards Mukden
which has already reached Lao Yang
about midway between NiuChwang
and Mukden. 1t will probably encoun-
ter opposition. Prince Tuan's ascend
aney creates a very grave danger. The
only hope for foreigners is that the pro-
foreign viceroy of Nankin has not yet
been removed. Tuan's emissaries are
working hard to get him out of the way
by murder or suicide
The British and continental press is
still discussing Americas reply, which
is generally regarded as encouraging Ii
Hung Chang to delay the negotiations.
General Gribsky military governor of
Amur, has published elaborate regula-
tions placing all the regions along the
Amur river now occupied by the Rus
slams entirely under Russian law and
authority The Chinese are forbidden
to return to the left bank of the
strearn He has also issued a procla-
nation declaring the annexation of
Manchuria to be a punishment for the
attack made on Blagovestchensk and
exhorting the inhabitants hereafter to
respect Russa's power and to live in
peace and quietness on their fields.
A seni-official communication to the
Cologne Gazette disavowing any desire
on the part of Germany to execute the
instigators of the outrages on the
strength of the testimony of the foreign
ministers says: THE international
court OF justice would decide upon the
question of guilt and would pronounce
sentence. To look on complacently
while a mockery of justice such as the
United States demand was being enact
ed would mean renewal of the mas
sacTeS."

WARSHIPS IN A SHAM FIGHT
INTERESTING NAT4L MANEUTERS
OFF NEWPORT List NIGHT.

Began at 9:45 and Lasted Until After
Midnight Heavy Firing Occurs
Tending Squadron Believed to Have
Won-Of the Attacking Ships Only the
Torpedo Bont Rodgers Remained In
Action.
Newport, R, l., Sept 25, ! a. m,-From
out of the darkness a hostile squadron
made up of the battleships Kearsarge
and Indiana and the gunboats Eagle
and Scorpion, together with the fleet of
| six torpedo boats, attacked tonight an
! opposing squadron made up of the
Massachusetts,, the New York, the
| Wien and Leyden, supported by the
land batteries, and from what can be
seen at this hour through the smoke
| that overhangs the bay after the bat
| tle the defending squadron was tri-
umphant, Captain Folger of the Kear-
sarge commanded the attacking craft
and Admiral Farquhar directed the
defenders.
The manoeuvres last night, which
commenced at 9:45 and lasted nearly
three hours, We're in reality a night bat
tie to test the effectiveness of an at
tacking squadron, aided by torpedo
boats, against a naval force aided by
shore batteries, in which the search
lights for the time being were used In
place of shells, a well directed ray for
certain time put the craft out of ac-
ton. If a torpedo boat could hold
within range of her searchlight one of
the hostile ships, by firing red rocket,
the craft on the defensive was out of
action, the fact that the torpedo boat
had the opportunity to blow her up
constituting victory. If on the other
hand battleship got an opposing craft
within range of her light and was able
to keep that vessel under it's rays for
the required time the battleship's vic
tory was shown by a blue rocket.
Every man was at his post the guns
ashore and af1oat were manned and
there was great anxiety on the part Of
the defenders as the first faint trace Of
the foe was discerned coming out of
the darkness. 1t was 9,45 when the
roar of an attacking gun awoke the
echoes which rolled back from the
Jamestown shore, and in quick success
ion came the heavy bark of large
calibre gun, and then the short me-
tallic ring of light ordnance, the flash
es and thunder telling the hundreds of
civilian spectators on shore that the at
tack had begun and that the port de-
tenders were ready to repel the enemy.
The incoming squadron attempted
to pass Fort Adams and Fort Weth-
erell, which defended the east channel.
and Fort Pfeble on the west The tor
pedo boats Gwynne and Rodgers did
succeed In passing Fort Preble in safe
ty under cover of darkness. The
Gwynne shot her searchlights on the
Massachusetts, and had signalled that
she was out of action when the Vicks-
burg in turn put out of action the |
smaller craft. Then the Rodgers figu-
ratively blew the Vicksburg out of the
water Thus, for over two hours the |
battle ragged and owing to the vigil |
lance of the defending forces only the !
torpedo boat Rodgers remained in ac
ton.
The opinion is general that the SQUAD |
ron of defense had won over the attack |
ing squadron, but the question is to go !

| bor.
Cleveland, Sept 24-At to-day's ses-
sion of the Congress of the National
Prison Association President Albert
Garvin delivered his annual address.
Mr.. Garvin is the warden of the Con-
necticut state prison. His address
aroused considerable interest, as it dealt
with several important questions re-
garding penology. 1t follows:
AT Detroit in 1887 the Wardens' asso-
citation was organized to promote the
adoption of means for the registration
and Identification of criminals, The
Bertillon system of measurements,
which was then little known in the
United States and which implied the
ultimate creation of national bureau
under governmental control, was en-
dorsed as the most effective agency for
the accomplishment of the object of the
association. Although no member Of
this organization has, so far as / am
aware, ever ventured to challenge the
merits of the Bertillon system, yet
some, not adequately recognizing its
Importance as a chart in dealing with
habitua criminals, have been either
lukewarm or Indifferent toward the sue
cess of the measure.
Thirteen years have passed, and al
though the Bertillon invention has been
adopted in various individual institu-
tions, the establishment of a central
bureau under federal supervision has
not been achieved, and consequently
only small fraction of the possible
benefits of the system has been at
tanned.
| am happy to report however, that
the special committee which was ap-
pointed at the Hartford session of the
Prison congress In 1899 and which con-
ssts of Captain E. S. Wright, warden
of the Western Pennsylvania penitenti-
ary; Major r. w McLaughry, warden
of the United States penitentiary at
Fort Leavenworth. and Albert Garvin,
warden of the Connecticut state prison.
has formulated bill ito establish and
maintain in connection with the de-
partment Of justice of the United States,
a division to be known as the bureau
of criminal information" The meas
ure, comprehensive in scope and drawn
with care, provides for the collection
of q large fund Of detailed information
offenders, and the body of
data thus accumulated is to be at the
disposal of the state and local authorl-
ties On March 27, 1900, the bill was in
troduced into the the senate by Mr..
Culom of Illinois and into the house
by Mr.. Curtis of Kansas. The measure
the endorsement of the de-
partment of justice, and to 1t practically
no opposition has developed. Owing to
the stress of urgent business the bill
could not be passed at the recent ses-
sion of congress, but we are confidently
advised that it will become law at the
forthcoming session.

With the expected enactment of the
leglslat ton for a bureau of
criminal information the principal pur-
pose for which this organization was
created will be accomplished, and a

say:
''The situation in the Wyoming and
Lackawanna valleys is unchanged. In
the Schuylkill region the presence of
the militia is a novelty for the popu-
lace which retarded work somewhat. AS

arrival of the troops dies out a general

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-Instead of
the expected clash between the troops
and striking miners in the Skuylkill
region to night peaceful calm per-
vaded the region and there was not the
slightest disorder for the soldiers to be
called upon to quell. In TACT, In all
fields the day was extremely quiet
there being no demonstration whatever
on the part of the strikers.
While the operators claim that a
number of their employees returned to
work at the mines in the Skuylkill re-
gion it was early in the day evidenced
that operations did not assume the ac-
tiyity which the mine owners had yes
terday anticipated, and indications to-
night are that tomorrow Will rnd
more idle collieries than at any time
since the strike began.
The soldiers moved over the roads
leading to the colleries in Skuyll1ill
county from early morning, and thus
afforded protection to those desirous
of returning to work. No opposition
was encountered, however, and not
very great many availed themselves
of the protection offered
The strike leaders claim many ad-
ditions to their ranks No overtures to
end the struggle have been offered by
either side. The strike leaders are oc-
cupying themselves in inducing mine
workers to quit and the operators are
endeavoring to mine all the coal they
can with their reduced forces. Mean
time coal shipments from the mines
are daily growing less and reports of
advances in prices for the commodity
are received from all trading sections.
