London, Sept 28.-The only dispatch
OF special interest from China this
morning IS the following from DR.. Nor
rison to The Times, dated Pekin, Sept.
21:
"The recent punitive expeditions have
had an excellent erect in increasing Sc
curity and facilitating the entry Of sup-
plies. but nothing can be counted as ef-
fcctiYe until Pao Ting Flu has been
ra2ed and the foreigners and refugees
ct Cheng Ting and other places known
TO the generals are rescued.
"M. De Giers has addressed e memo
rial to the empress dowager Offering
her the protection Of Russia and re-
questing her to return TO Pekin Forty
chief ChiUese officials have sent a me
mortal to thu emperor and empress
dowager beseeching them to return.
THE conflicting interests of Russia
and Great Britain prevent a SYSTEM

although restoration would be easy.
It turns cut that Cheng Yin Huan.

reported. was executed under an impe-
rial decree at the same time with the

Cheng Yin Huan was special envoy
to England at the time Of the diamond
jubilee He was hated by the empress
dowager, who exiled him to Iii in 1898.

The report from New York that
Chairman Hanna is making strenuous
efforts to have the strike settled was
discussed with much interest yester-
day. Whether it is true cannot be
learned here, but there is a feeling
growing that some sort OF move viii
soon be made looking toward a settle
ment OF the strike. From what quar-
ter the hoped for step will come is OF
course only guess work
The entire Hazleton region was quiet
yesterday, and the only noticeable
change in the strike situation was at
the collieries Of G. p. Markle & Co.
AS predicted BIZ the strike leaders,
there was a considerable reduction in
the forces working at the various coll
iieries operated by this firm. The
strikers say that the mines are praeti-
cally idle, while all that the general
superintendent Of the mines would say
was that the collieries were started as
usual. OF the thirty odd collieries In
this region Is are completely tied up,
while the remainder are more or less
crippled, not one running fun and not

SUPERINTENDENT SAYS
STRIKE WILL Ind SOON

Wilkcsbarre, Sept 2S.-T. d. Nichols.
district president Of the United Mine
Workers, was in town yesterday and
was in conference with the officers of
the local assemblies, United Mine
Workers. He spoke very encouraging
~ Of the outlook for the men now out
on strike. The solid tieup IN the Wy
oming and Lackawanna regions. he
claimed. was convincing proof that the
men mean to stay out until their de-
mands are granted. He also said that
the miners in the Lehigh and Schuyl-
kill regions were getting together
nicely, and it would only be a short
time until they were thoroughly united
for the cause. Mr.. Nichols was shown
the dispatches from New York. hint
ing az q settlement of the strike. He
said in the absence OF anything Of
fetal he was not prepared to give an
opinion as to whether the proposed
terms of settlement would be satisfac-
tory to President Mitchell or the Uni
ted Mine Workers.
Several coal operators were inter-
viewed but they said they knew moth
ing more about the proposed settle
ment than what was mentioned in the
popeia. AS iAhtf iuuaA oPNAdloAs u
this section will be governed entirely
by what the big companies do. If the
latter coneede the demands Of the men
they (the individual operators) will
fall Ia line.
While the representatives of the coal
companies have no information from
New York as TO the basis of the settle
ment. there is a feeling that some
thing IS coming and that it probably
means q settlement Of some kind.
AT strike headquarters the impress
sion prevails that the operators are
about tired Of the fight, and rather
than see bituminous coal get q foot-

some time to strike, but were re-

RumOF That Mine Operators Have
agreed 10 Increase Wages
Ten Per Cent.

Hazleton, Sept. 2S.-The press repre-
sentatives ct 10 o'clock last night Sc
cured from President Mitchell the adj
mission that he believes that the mine
operators have agreed to make the
striking mine workers an offer OF
10 per cent increase in wages. Further
than this Mr. Mitchell declined to talk.
He had been retieent all day On the
subject and several times declared that
he knew nsthing of the rumors Of a
settlement of the strike.
Mr.. Mitchell's admission that he be-
lieyed the report that the operators
would offer an advance to the men was
made while he was holding a confer
ence with his lieutenants. After the
meeting, which lasted until midnight,
President Mitchell informed the news
paper men that the meeting was held
for the purpose Of discussing the
question OF holding the men together
If negotiations for settlement should
be on foot Mr Mitchell has not yet
been officially informed Of the oper-
ators' action. 1t is understood that
the offer made by the operators does
not carry with it recognition Of the
union.
President Mitchell yesterday sent a
telegram to the central Pennsylvania
bituminous coal field. which possibly
may have the effect Of bringing the
soft coal workers into the contest
TIE telegram was sent to Richard Gill
bert, secretary Of District No. 2, Clear
field, Pa. 1t was as follows:
Issue circular letter instructing all
mine workers in central Pennsylvania
that they are not to load coal for ship
ment into markets formerly supplied
By anthracite operators. We are in
formed that the Philadelphia and
Reading, Delaware and Hudson and
the Jersey Central railroads are now
attempting to defeat anthracite strike
by sending their cars into central
Pennsylvania to have them loaded with
bituminous coal. Please comply with
this request at once"
President Mitchell said that he had
been watching the bituminous coal
field closely for just such O move as
he alleges has been made by the rail-
roads mentioned in his telegram, and
he does not fear that they viii make
much Of success in getting the soft
coal into the anthracite market. The
miners in central Pennsylvania region,
he continues, are in thorough SYM
pafhy with their fellow workmen in the
eastern part Of the state, and Presi-
dent Mitchell feels sure that as soon
as they find that the coal they may be
loading, or are asked to load, IS TO
take the place Of hard coal, they VIII
refuse to handle 1t.
Labor leaders do not anticipate any
susrension of work IN the soft coal
field unless the operators insist upon
sending their coal to the anthracite
market. They also say that the Phil

CRESCEUS WINS $4,000 RACE;
CAPE MONIES PlTIFUL DISTRESS

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 2s.-The steam
ship Tacoma arrived yesterday from
Nome, which port she left on Sept. AZ.
She had 525 passengers ana about $780,
600 in gold dust. j. Il. Gleason, of this
city, returned on the Tacoma. Speak
ing OF the recent storm at Nome he
said; "The property loss caused by
the storm Will be over a million dol
lars. Only three persons were drown
ed of the Nome beach, but the loss Of
life mp and down the coast must have
been very heavy. according to reports
reaching Nome" The passengers re-
port that the condition OF many of the
storm sufferers at Nome is pitiable in
the extreme. Hundreds of people, it
IS said, are walking the streets with
out place to sleep and depending en-
tireiy upon the charity Of friends to
secure enough to keep them from stary-

Boston, Sept 28.-Cfesceus, the king
Of stations. added jewel to his crown
yesterday by winning in five hard
driven heats the $4,000 race at the
meeting Of the New England Trotting
Horse Breeders association on the
Readville track. So much a favorite
was the son Of Robert McGregor before
the great trial began that the pools
We're barred against him. 1t looked for
two heats as il the great stake would
be wrested from the king by that Won
derful little trOtter, Charley Herr, the
winner of the Massachusetts stake race
last year. But Charley Herr's strength
was not equal to the task, and his star
set in the third heat. when Cres-
ceus beat him at the wire. Once after
that, in the fourth heat, the Lexington
hose made a wonderful bid for the
race, leading to the three-quarters, and
then being beaten out on the stretch
by Cresceus.
The race as a whole was the undoubt-
edly the greatest ever seen in New
England. 1t recalled the stallion event
years ago, at Beacon Park, Cambridge,
when Nelson crowned himself by win
ming a $4,000 purse. The crowd must
have gone well over the 25,000 mark,
the people swarming over the grand
stand at 81 a seat, filling the bleachers
at 81 a head, while on tho grounds
everywhere around the stands was
standing room only" for thousands.
The contestants were Cresceus. Char
ley Herr. Arion. Grattan Boy. Benton

horse nominated. Idolita. owned by
Hon. Frank Jones. of Portsmouth, N.

CFIINA'S RULERS ARE BEING
URGED BY THE ALLIES TO
RETURN TO PEKIN AT ONCE

mcnt that Mr.. Conger viii put these
negotiations IN motion without any
purpose of acting for any government
other than the United States, although
the government steadily keeps in mind
that the United States Is but one Of
several nations mutually interested
ia obtaining q common end and it is
hoped that the effect Of MIR. Conger's
making a beginning toward negotia-
tions may be to induce other powers
70 follow. AT the same time the gov
ernment has never assumed to lay
down any mandate as to the course
70 be followed by an or any OF the
other powers.
1t is believed that the state depart
ment already has taken steps through
Minister Mu to impress upon the Chi
nese government the undesirability OF
the appointment Of Prince Tuan as
grand secretary and the painful Inn
preston this appointment has created
throughout this country.
The government feels that it is much
reinforced in its present position by
the note from Ii Hung Chang in which
he gave positive assurance to the Uni
ted States that he had sufficient au-
thority TO protect all American inter-
ests and would see that this authority
was exercised. II the appointment Of
Tuan promises in any manner to OBJ
struct the performance of this pledge,
then it would be clearly violative OF
the guarantee laid down and would
warrant the immediate withdrawal Of
Mr.. Conger from further relations with
the Chinese ENJOYS.
