PRINCE HoHENLoHE RESIGNS.

Count Won BueIow Appointed I'm
perInl Chancellor by the Kaiser.
COLOGNE, Oct. 1.-THE Cologne Ca
zette" learns that Prince Hohenlohc hand
ed his resignation as Imperial Chancellor
to Emperor William yesterday. The En-
peror accepted the resignation and desig-
mated Count Won Buelow. the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, as his successor.
BERLIN, Oct 1.-THE resignation of
Chancellor Hohenlohe has not yet been an
nounced officially, but the fact that he has
retired from office is undoubted. The event.
though necessarily one OF conspicuous in
terest, is not, under the existing circum-
stances. OF great political Importance. The
chancellor's great age and the fact that
he has long been more or less an ornamen-
tai figure prepared the public TO learn at
any time that his virtual retirement had
become formal.
There is no need to assume that there
is any disagreement between him and the
Emperor. The latter, rs the world knows,
has been for years his own chancellor,
and there is no evidence that Prince
Hohenlohe ever challenged or wished TO
challenge His Majesty's authority. II is
very generally said that Prince Hohenlohe
is as innocent of everything connected
Win peFInais : policy III emma as an
unborn infant, and the newspapers have
been ironically proposing to organize an
expedition to search for the chancellor.
Although some OF his critics aver that
he is sick OF such an ignominious posi-
ton and refuses longer to endure II, II is
probably far nearer the truth TO say that
age and inhrmity compel him to abandon
the post to which, at the Emperor's wish,
he lent the prestige Of his name and repu-
tation.
The Reicbstag will meet on November
IA. when stormy debates on China and
violent attacks on the Government
policy are anticipated. attacks which must
be met by a more vigorous man than the
fragile old statesman whom the Germans
familiarity refer to as Uncle Chlodwig"
The Cologne Gazette's" announcement
that Count Won Buelow, Minister of For
eign Affairs, will succeed Prince Hohon
lobe is probably true. though pending an
official confirmation. gossip in political
circles vnriously suggests Prince HAITI
feldt. Governor of Silesia: Prince Lulin-
burg. Ambassador at Vienna. and Prince

ence to the powder question. which will

Nothing was said in the Scranton resoiu-
tions on the powder question. but the

dispose of 1t now to the satisfaction of all
concerned. The Reading Company officials
and the coal presidents were in Philadel-
phia for two days this week. but their

The powder question was fully discussed

The Reading Company had today's no.

ence yesterday and today in Philadelphia
was simply a matter Of consultation with
the individual operators and other coal
companies. They saw the wisdom OF the
Readings conclusion snd finally all in

DEFENCE RESTS ITS CASE.
The Prosecution Begins RcbuttnI in

GEORGETOWN. Oct. 17-Late this af-
ternoon the defence in the Youtsey trial
rested its case and the State began its
rebuttal The defence introduced some
strong proof today and contradicted di-
rectly some of the main points relied on
by the prosecution. Colonel Nelson. at
torney for the defence. went on the stand
to tell about a conference with Arthur
Goebel and Colonel Campbell, for the de-
fence, and was compelled to admit that
he did tell Goebel and Campbell that
Youtsey knew something that would be
prosecution of Taylor. Nelson denied that
he said Youtsey knew enough to hang
Taylor.
Several witnesses sworc that Berry
Howard was in the house lobby when tl,c
shots were fred and, therefore. could not
have been let into Powers office by YOut-
sey. One man swore "Tallow Dick"
Combs was in the Adjutant Generals
office when the shots were fired and,
therefore, could not have been In Powers
office.
Jim Howard. who has been convicted.
swore he was not in Powers office. but
at the Board of Trade Hotel when the
shot was fired. The theory of the prose-
cution will be that Youtsey lied to Arthur
Goebel in telling that he let Berry How.
ard and Combs into Powers office shortly
before the shooting.
Youtsey's physician says he Is worse

and taken no food except hypodermically.

THE CASE OF ALEXANDER LEHR.
Investigation of n Charge of vfolat-
Ing the Postal Laws.

Investigation of the charge of sending
obscene matter through the mails pre-
ferred against Alexander Lehr was begun
yesterday afternoon before United States
Commissioner Mills. The specific charge
against the accused is that on August f6
last he wrote letter to one Harvey
Poarch containing reflections on the char
acter of Poarch's wife. The letter was
offered in evidence. 10
Attorney Campbell Darlington, who rep
resented Lehr. contended that the accused
stated to him that the charge made by
him is true, and that he was willing to
produce a number of witnesses to sub
stantiate it. The letter was sent to Mr..
Poarch, 1t was commended, to warn him
not to give any money to his wife. and
under such circumstances. II was claimed,
could not be considered as a violation OF
the law against sending. obscene matter
through the mails. q, .-eIs
Mrs. Poarch testified that when her hus-
band received the letter in question he
at once handed it to her. She stated that
1t is in the handwriting of Lehr. AT the
hour Of adjournment counsel on either
side had not concluded their argument.
and the hearing will be resumed this
morning.

REJOICING IN COAL REGIONS.
End of the Strike Welcomed by Nin-
ers and business Men.


wlLKESBARRE. Pa. Oct. 1.-THE news
that the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
Company had agreed to submit TO the de-
1nands of the miners came as a surprise
here. for the operators have declared that
the companies would not give in. The
news caused general rejoicing and as soon
as Ii spread the streets were filed with
people eager to read the bulletin boards.
AT Pittston the news was received dur
ing a big mass meeting. which was being
addressed by National Committeeman Fred
Dilcher and the several thousand people
who heard it went wild with delight,
cheering again and again. The business
men in this city are particularly pleased.
for some failures have occurred and others
are threatening. while business generally
was seriously affected.
The Philadelphia and Reading and the
Lehigh Valley. which have given in, are
the two largest companies in the region.
and il they commence work the others
will have to follow suit. There is con-
siderable speculation as to when this will
be. Some OF the companies have not even
offered the 10 per cent increase yet, no.
tably the Susquehanna. the Pennsylvania.
and the Kingston Coal Company, but it is
expected they will all come to time when
IT is clear there is no avoiding the issue
and there remains no alternative. They
VIII be forced into ii by the other com
panies which will be working s-
Ii is question, too, whether work will
be resumed as the convention specified,
all in body and on the same day 1t
is believed, though, that the executive
committee, which will probably be called
TO meet on Friday. will allow the men to
go back to work for the companies which
have agreed to the terms. and in this
manner end the strike quicker than il
they waitedfor unanimous consent on the
part OF the operators.

France Asks That the Negotiations
In China Proceed.
A most important move toward bring
ing about satisfactory arrangement be-
tween the powers for final settlement
of the Chinese troubles was made yes
terday by the French Government which.
through NJ. Thiebaut. its Charge d Affaires
here. presented to the Secretary of State
a memorandum setting forth that all the
powers had accepted, with certain reserv-
atoms. the proposals presented to this
Government by France on October 4, and
that as no reason now existed for further
delay, the powers proceed Immediately
upon negotiations with Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching. the accredited ENJOYS
of the Chinese Government.
This step on the part OF France is par
ticularly pleasing to the United States.
and there can be no doubt that cordial
acquiescence will be given to the request
of France. In the opinion of this Govern
ment. the negotiations for peace cannot
be initiated too soon. and it is believed
that such a course will do much to stop
the agitation in the southern provinces
of the Empire.
France, in heE note of October 4 sub
mitted six propositions. While only one
