A NEW CAPITAL OF CHINA

Washington, October 6.-The
Japanese minister today left with the
Secretary of State copy of tele
gram, dated October l, received from
the Japanese minister for foreigo
affairs. 10 this effect:
"The Japanese acting consul at
Shanghai reported on the 2Sth ultimo
the publication in Chinese papers OF
an undated imperial edict, the pur.
port of which was as follows:
Though we have accompanied
her Majesty, the Empress Dowsger,
to Tai Yen and settled there, it is no,
our intention to remain there per.
manently. Inssmuch az Chang An
was the seat of the ancient rulers oi
China. and is defended by nature,
We order the acting Governor OF
Shensi to select suitable site for the
imperial palace 10 the city of Singan
and to provide everything necessary
for our journey thereto. BE should
bear in mind the hardships we are
now exposed to and refrain from all
extravagant preparations !"

the German and American notes
exchanged last week. The only
difficulty he apprehends is in case
the foreigD ministers seek to desig.
nate certain persons who shall be
punished, in addition to those which
the government itself marks for pun
lshment. Such course by the
ministers, be says, would be hard to
comply with, but he looks to the
sagacity of LII Hung Chang and
Prince Ching to overcome any such
difficulty.

Convention Called
Of Striking Miners.
10 Consider Acceptance of
Advance in Wages
Offered.

Shenandoah. Pa, Oct 6 This town
today witnessed the biggest demoDstra-
ton ever held within its limits. Over
1900 striking mine workers marched
through the streets aud up to Soldiers
Monument Park, Locust Mouotain,
where they held mass meeting aud
listened to words of announcement
from National President John Mitchell,
of the United Mine Workers of Amer.
ica. The strikers came from ell SEQ.
tious Of the snthracite regions, those
from aearby points marching in q body -,
headed by bsods, while those from
remote regions came 10 trolly cars.
President Mitchell spoke briefly and
vas frequently Interrupted by cheers.
His most important statement was one
informing the strikers that they would
soon meet 10 convention he said :.
II wish to announce today for tbe
6rss sime that 10 few dsys q couven.
ton will be called. Every nine will
be requested to seod delegates If You
believe net advance of 10 per cent in
your wages is enough then your votes
will decide the question. If you prefer
that the strike shall 60 on Mitcbell>will
be with you. 10 this strike We must
oil win together or 60 down together.
Mr. Mitchell again took occasion to
deny the charges that the strike wss
brought os for political reasons and
that the bi,umiuous coal operators were
connected With it.
"These charges" be said. "are
absolutely untrue"
M Mitchell declared that de.pite
the statement Of the operators that they
would not recognise the ubion they had
already done so BY announcing the 10
per cent increase. He said it was
strange that this advance was not
granted until the United Mine Workers
came here.

ing OF the cabinet to give the answer

been conveyed to some of the
foreign representatives that this
government may not be able to
concur in the interdiction of the
import OF arms into China. and also
that there may be serious constitu
tlonaI reasons requiring at least two
OF the French proposals to be sub.
mltted to the American congress

atlveIy. These two latter pro poei.
tlons relate to the establishment of q
permanent guard in Pekin at the

tenance of line of communication
from Pekin to the sea The perma.
nency OF these plans appears to
involve possibility of territorial oc
cupation, though of limited charac
ter, both. at Pekin and along the road
from Pekin to the sea, and it is
understood that even if these moves
were regarded with favor by the
executive branch there would be
constitutional reasons making it de.
sirable to submit them to congress.
This idea has been put forward only
in q tentative way, ss indicating to
foreign representatives some of the

into account in giving an answer to

Government has received of the Dur.

Chinese officials TO show that the

However it is now conceded that
