VIEWS OF SMALL OPERATORS
THEY SAY THEY CANNOT AFFORD
THE PROPOSED ADVANCE.
II Puts Them mt the Mercy Of the Coal
Carrier--summary OF the Day's
Strike Developments.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 1.-The mine op-
orators of the Wyoming, Lackawanna and
Lehigh regions to-day, at meeting at
Wilkesbarre, followed yesterdays action OF
the Reading Company in offering On in
crease Of 10 per cent. in wages to the nins
workers. They Furthermore decided 10
reduce the charge for powder from 81. 10
to $50 per keg. The latter price has pre-
vailed at the Reading Companys mines for
a long time.
The action of the Wilkesbarre meeting
means an increase of 10 per cent to all
mine workers except miners. The latter
will earn an increase Of about 10 per cent.
by reason Of the reduced cost OF powder.
The meeting was attended by representa-
tives of all the leading railroad companies
which owns mines In the regions named.
Some of the independent operators oppose
the proposed increase unless the coal-car-
rying companies reduce the tolls on their
product to tide water.
The strikers, however, show no indica-
ton of accepting the offer. None returned
to work to-day at the Reading Company's
collieries in response TO the notice of high
CT wages, and, in fact, many who had been
at work there quit and joined the ranks Of
the strikers. AS a result there were fewer
collieries in operation to-day in the
Schuyl<in region than at any time since
the strike was inaugurated. In the other
regions there were also additions to the
strikers forces.
Notices of the increase In pay were
posted throughout the entire anthracite
region lo-night. but the opinion is general
that few, If any. of the strikers will return
to work. The strikers say they have other
grievances TO be adjusted besides wages
and powder charges. and they further say
that they want recognition Of their union.

Germany VIII Insist on Punishment
of the Boxer Leaders.

BERLIN. Oct. 1.-The statement pub
lished in Paris that France, Russia and
Germany have arrived at a complete under
standing In regard to the retention of
troops at Peking, and that Germany aban-
dons her demand for the punishment Of the
instigators OF the outrages before the peace
negotiations begin, is denied here officially.
A foreign official made the following
statement on the subject: THE story is
inaccurate. particularly the intimation that
Germany, Russia and France have formed
separate diplomatic group. Negotiations
between these powers continue as with the
others. Germany does not expect Great
Britain's answer to her proposal for several
days"
The semi-official press uniformly dis
credits the assertions, but a well informed
diplomat assured the Associated Press COR
respondent this evening that he had excel
lent reasons for believing them to be true,
especially as the German Foreign Office
had itself admitted that Russia had dropped
all intentions of Withdrawing from Peking.
The Berlner Post denies the report that
the French. Russian and American officers
have refused TO obey Count Won waldersee
until hostilities are resumed. The Foreign
Ofice is unable to confirm the reports of
the degradation of Prince Tuan, but the
admission is made that there has been an
Improvement in the disposition of China
towards foreigners. This change the Ber-
liner Post attributes to Count Won Walder-
sees arrival.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Frankfurter Zeitung and the correspondent
of the Lokal Anzeiger confirm the issuance
Of imperial orders degrading Prince Tuan.
but the Lokal Anzeiger's advices show
that the edicts are regarded as sham by
foreign circles in Shanghai. This evening
