"In further explanation of the

until April /, 1901, and thereafter
until further notice"
The following statement was issued

Gated by the notices they had posted;
that this notice specially stated that
the reduction of powder from $2.75
to $1.50 would be considered in arriv-

President Nichols, whose district is
affected by the nowder question, said
last evening that it looked to him as
if another convention was necessary,
Il do not know that the delegates
will consent TO waving their demand
for a straight increase and allowing
the substitution of this cause about
powder which the operators are so in
sistent about" said he. But without
their consent, / don't see how the
matter can be adjusted. To me, it
looks like prolongation of the

.coNGEn,s MESSAGE ABOUT PEACE.
Ching and Chang Have Held Con-
ference at Picking.

Washington. Oct. 19.-for the first
time in the three days Minister Con-
ger was heard from at the state de-
partment yesterday. He communica-
ted by cable the substance of certain
propositions advanced by Prince
Ching and Ii flung Chang as the ba-
sis for the conduct of negotiations
for the settlement of the Chinese
trouble. The Chinese government al
ready had prepared a way for these
by preliminary actions looking for
ward to the punishment of Chinese
officials guilty of completely in the
Boxer uprising, and while the text
of Conger's communication is not
made public it is believed the last
Chinese advance is addressed to some
of the propositions contained in the
French note, being in the nature of
counter proposals and proceeding
upon the theory that what has been
done in the matter of punishment is
sufficient to meet the demands from
the powers i'm that respect.

! The youth of Brussels, it appears,
were not slow to exploit the Shah's
weakness for children, which was in
cautiously referred to in the press. An
enterprising lad wrote to his majesty
that a bicycle would make him COM
pletely happy, but the fact must not
be diyulged to his parents; while an
other child asked for doll in similar
terms. In both instances the gifts
were forthcoming, with the result that
on the last day of his majesty's visit
the Persian legation was besieged by
youthful applicants. many of whom
were made happy by practical proofs
OF the shah's generosity.

miners will be asked in the future to

sist that in figuring the net advance
of 10 per cent the reduction of $1.25

for the 10 per cent advance, and then
arbitrate the question whether they
are to get the powder cheaper as an
additional condition. 1t is not he.
