President Mitchell. Believes Ad-
vance Has Been Offered.
Cardinal Gibbons Probably Selected as
the Arbitrator.

Philadelphia, Pa, September 27.-The
towering feature Of the coal strike situa-
tion today and one which attracted the
attention of all interests involved, was
the widely circulated report that negotia-
tions are pending and rapidly nearing
completion for an a1nicable settlem ent of
the strike.
While the identity OF the person or per-
sons who are said to be at work endeav-
oring to bring about the immediate and
peaceful adjustment Of the differences be-
tween the employers and employees has
not been disclosed, it was openly admitted
in authoritatie. sources that such endeav-
or was in progress.
President Truesdale of the Lackawanna
company is quoted as making such ad-
mission, but in what manner or by whom
they were being conducted he declined to
state.
President Mitchell, the head OF the
striking miners organization, expressed
the belief that the operators had decided
to offer the miners an increase of wages,
but he too, decllned to. admit whether he
possessed any further information on the
subject.
From Scranton tonight came the state
ment that at a conference of coal opera
tors of that section, the opinion was prev
aIent that the influences at work were Of
a strong political nature, and that the
operators would be obliged to offer the
men at least the concession of an increase
in wages. The information upon which
the operators based their conclusion that
the working influences were political,
could not be learned tonight.
Coupled with nearly all the reports of
probable early settlement of the trouble,
came the announcement that the men
would be offered an increase of pay but
that the mine owners would positively
decline to arbitrate the differences
through President Mitchell or to. in any
manner, give recognition to the United
Mine Workers organization. This refus-
al of recognition, however, would not
prove a difficult obstacle to overcome,
President Mitchell in his open letter to
the public, having expressed his willing
ness to accept settlement through sep
arate conferences Of committees Of the
employees and their direct employers. If
the railroad presidents and others VIII
controlled the mines would accept this
proposition he said he would waive all
claim to the recognition of the union.
One condition he exacted, however, and
that was that these various conferences
should be held the same day and In the
same city
Matter were quiet throughout the
strike regions today and the stri kers'
forces were increased by the closing OF
few mines.

CARDINAL GIBBOIS.
lie Has Been Asked to Act as Ar :
bitratOF.

Baltimore, Md, September 27.-Cardi-
nal Gibbons has been asked to act as ar
bitrator between the striking miners and
the operators OF the anthracite coal region
of Pennsylvania. While admitting that
he has been approached on the subject,
His Em1nence said tonight that he had
heard from only one side OF the parties
in controversy and must decline to dis
cuss the question of arbitration until
all had been heard from.
''Wtll you consent to act If both sides
do approach youS'' he was asked.
"In that case I shall take the matter
under very serious consideration; very
serious consideration, he added as If
to emphasize the remark. Continuing,
His Eminence declared that he would
be glad to do any thing in his power to
help solve the problem which seriously
affects so many souls.

CONFERENCE PROPOSED.
OF Pelsin Ministers to Draw Up Term.
of Peace.

Paris, September 27.-The practical
deadlock in the efforts to commence
peace negotiations with China, has Civ
en- an Impetus to the suggestion that the
ministers at Pekin be instructed to hold
meetings for the purpose of drawing up
the terms of a treaty OF peace. The fact
that the powers, through the exchange of
views between their respective foreign
Offices, are unable to reach an agreement,
has, 1t Is claimed, clearly emphasized the
difficulty of settling on terms regarding
occurrences at so great a distance, and,
1t is added, it has showed that the min
listers on the spot are the persons most
fitted and capable for working out a
common ground of settlement. General
Instructions only, it is further suggest
ed, should be given to the ministers, the
details to be left largely to their disore-
ton.
An official OF the foreign office here
expressed the hope this morning that
such instructions would be forthcom-
ing, within week and that the general
instructions would be under three
heads: First, punishment of the conspi-
rators; second, compensation for losses
sustained, and, third, guarantees for
the future.
The determination of the United States
to withdraw her troops from China,
while at the same time increasing the
strength of her fleet in Chinese waters. is
rather dIsconcerting to the powers, but
the Interpretation put upon it in otiic-
ial circles is that the United States has
resolved to protect the policy of the
open door to the extremity, and is, there
fore, preparing fleet for the purpose of
maintaining that policy by a show of
force.
The publication of an alleged ediot
announcing the annexation of Man
churia, has caused a decidedly uneasy
feeling; but no one here was able to
definitely affirm its authenticity. In
discussing this point, the same foreign
office official expressed emphatically a
desire that the United States should
know that France has no sympathy
with any movement towards the Partition
of China, ana that she will lend all her
influence towards averting what she
considers would be a mistake and a
! wrong.

Inquiries AS to Tuan's
Appointment.
China Told 1t May Retard
Negotiations.

Washington, September 27.-Minister
Conger has been advised by the state de-
partment OF the substance of the replies
made by this government last Friday
to the govern ments OF Germany, Russia
and Japan respecting China, which clear
Iy indicated to him the general nature
of the Instructions he is to receive. More
over, by this time, he is informed of the
orders issued to Gen. Chatfee to reduce
his force to a legation guard.
The note to China specifically pointed
out the lines on which this government
VIII issue It's instructions to it's minis
ter. The document itself is in course of
final approval, acting Secretary Hill hav-
ing completed the draft some days ago
and forwarded it to the President. 1t
was the belief OF the state department
late this afternoon that the actual trans
mission of the instructions would be
carried out very soon, probably in the
next - hours. 1t is said that the text
of the instructions Will not be IN ade pub
lie at present, for diplomatic reasons, but
there Is no concealment OF the general
scope Of the document, which is on the
lines laid down in the three notes. In
this connection, 1t is said, at the state
department., that Mr.. Conger win put
these negotiations in motion, without
any purpose of acting for any govern
ment other than the United States, al
though the government steadily keeps IN
mind that the United States is but one
of several nations mutually Interested
in obtaining a common end and it is
hoped that the effect of Mr.. Conger's
making a beginning toward negotiations
may be to induce the powers to follow. Sat
the same time the government has never
assumed to lay down any mandate as to
the course to be followed by all or any of
the other powers.
It is believed that the state department
already has taken steps through Minis
Ger Wa to impress upon the g hinese gov
ernment the undersirabiIity of the ap-
pointment of Prince Tuan as grand Sec
retary and the painful impression this
appointment has created Through thus
country. The effect OF his appointment,
if persisted in, it is said, might be to re-
tard seriously the final negotiations, or
in fact any negotiations at all.
The government feels that it is much
reinforced in it's present position by the
note from Ii Hung Chang in which he
gave positive assurances to the United
States that he had sufficient authority
to protect American interests and would
see that this authority was exercised.
The government now looks upon this as
surance as a guarantee which must be
faithfully performed as condition pre-
cedent to even the establishment of rela-
tions with LII Hung Chang and Prince
Ching. If the appointment of Tuan
promises in manner to-obstruct the
OF this pledge then 1t would
be clearly violative of the guarantee laid
down and would warrant the immedi-
ate withdrawal of Mr.. Conger from fur

PROMISED PROTECTION.
Russian Minister Requests Queen to
Return to PeIzin.

London, September 28.-4 a. m.-The
only despatch OF special interest from
China this morning is the following
from DR.. Morrison, to the Times, dated
Pekin, September 21:
''The recent punitive expeditions have
had an excellent effect in increasing
security and facilitating the entry of
supplies, but nothing can be counted as
effective until Pao Ting Flu has been
razed and the foreigners apd refugees at
Chang Ting and other places known to
the generals are rescued.
NJ. De Giers has addressed a memorial
to the Empress Dowager offering her
the protection of Russia and requesting
her return to Pekin. Forty chief Chi
nese officials have sent memorial to
the Emperor and Empress Dowager be-
seeching them to return.
The conflicting interests of Russia and
Great Britain prevent systematic at
tempt to reconstruct the railway, al
though restoration would be easy. 1t
turns out that Cheng Yin Huan, whose
execution was recently reported, was
executed under an imperial decree at the
same time with the other pro-foreign
ministers who were executed.
Ching Yin Huan was special envoy
to England at the time of the diamond
iubile5. He was hated by the Empress
Dowager, who exiled him to LII in 1898
The Russians, according to the Shan
phaf correspondent of the Morning Post,
have virtually abandoned the province
of Chi LII to Germany.
PRINCE TUAN'S APPOINTMENT.
Washington, September 27.-The state
department has been advised by Sheng,
the Taotai of Shanghai, of the appoint
ment of Prince Tuan, tie father of the
heir apparent to China, as grand secre-
tary to the Emperor.
He says nothing Of the reported resig-
nation OF Tuan as president, or as
member of the privy council, but 1t is be-
Iieved here that it is entirely according
to Chinese forms for prince OF Tuan's
rank 80 I'LL both posts simultaneously.

Scranton ThinIKs That Operators Can't
Stand Out.

Scranton, Pa, September 27.-At an
informal conference of the local operators
tonight the report Of the negotiations
for settling the strike was discussed and
the concensus of opinion was that in
fuences reported to be at work toward a
settlement are Of a political hue and tn at
these interests cannot advance any argu-
ment that will cause the operators to
turn from the course they have mapped
out, namely lighting to at finish the
threatened invasion of the anthracite
region by the United Mine Workers or
ganization.
The general opinion here is that the in
fIuences referred to are of such power
full nature that the operators cannot well
stand out against them and it is believed
that the strike viii be settled The means
OF settlement, it is said, will be as fol-
lows;
''The big carrying companies Will
grant a slight reduction In tolls; the
operators viii raise the price of coal and
the wages Of the miners will be increased
according to the percentage that the re-
duction In tolls and increase In selling
price will pelmit, the figuring to be
done with the existing scale Of wages as
the basis. 1t will be exaobed that the
mine workers union shall not figure
in the negotiations and that the men
shall return TO work without any cere-
mOny further than a guarantee of the
advance in wages that will he profferred.
