Selected as Candidate for States
Attorney in Place of Marion
COnklin.
Mrs. Eisenhuth, q Lady Educator and
Candidate-ner QualifiCd-
tiOnS.
John Syvertson of Courtenay Pop
uIar Candidate for the Leg
iSidture. ~

At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the independent and demo-
cratic party last night, the vacancy in
the Office of states attorney, caused by
the resignation of Marion Conklin, was
filled by the selection of Attorney D..
w. Thorp, of Jamestown, who will op-
pose Roderick Rose, the republican
nominee, for the office. Mr.. ThOrp,
while comparatively new conner, has
demonstrated that he IS a man Of
ability in his profession, and has made
a large circle of friends and acquaint-
ances in the county. If elected he will
give the county good services and work
for the interests of the taxpayers.
The resignation Of Mr.. Conklin was
due to his nomination as candidate for
judge. Mr.. Thorp accepts the posi-
tion with some reluctance at this late
hour, but will enter the fight with his
usual vim and vigor, and the com
mittee bespeaks for him the hearty
support of all independents and demo-
Gratis and all others who desire to see
good legal timber fill the office.

Unless Vigorous Measures Are Promptly
Taken Against the Boxers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 11.-Among the
arrivals from the Orient on the steamer
American Maru is F. D. Gamewell, to
whose energy and engineering skill the
safety Of the beleaguered Peking lega.
tions was in large measure due, as it
was owing to the effectiveness Of his
plans of defense that they were able to
hold out against the Chinese rabble un-
til the relief column reached them.
GAS to the results of this war;" said
Mr. Gamewell, II do not hesitate to
say, and 1 believe my sentiments are
shared by many others, that the United
States should insist that the leaders of
the uprising should be punished to the
full extent Whether that punishment.
shall take the form of execution is
matter to be determined later, but,
whatever is done should
BE Made Sufficiently Severe
to have lasting effect upon the Chi,
nese nation. 1t is no fault of the Box
ers that all our missionaries over there
are not dead today. If we make light
OF this thing and pass it by, merely de-
mandlng an indemnity, it is my opin.
ion that the same terrible scenes will
be repeated within the next few years."
He was told that the Germans had
demanded the head of Prince Tuan,
and did not propose to leave China
until they got it.
"Good," said he, and Mrs Gamewell
approved. 1.-The Germans understand
the situation, and 1 hope they will
stick to their decision.''

Republican Att,rney's E11orS,n:nt.

Attorney S. e. Ellsworth. of this
city. says: The independent democrat
party of this district is to be congrat-
ulated upon its choice Of candidate
for Judge. Mr.. Conklin is an attorney
whose legal attainments have at all
times during his long residence here
commanded the highest respect of his
associates. His honor and integrity
are unimpeachable In addition to
this he possesses, in an eminent de-
gree, that rare and happy combination
of faculties which constitute what is
known as judicial temperament. In
my opinion there is not an attorney in
the district whose character gives bet
ter promise of a courteous, able and
discharge Of the duties
of Judge. His many friends, including
a host Of republicans who do not be-
lieve that this Office should be regarded
from a partisan view, have every con-
tidence in his election.

MAY DELAY SETTLEMENT.
Delegates to the Miners Convention Re
ceive Many Instructions.

Delegates to the Miners Convention Re-
ceive Many Instructions.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Oct. 11.-The Shen.
andoah delegates to the miners con.
vention have received their final in
structions. Not one Of them will vote
contrary to these instructions. At the
meeting Of two of the local unions
of the United Mine Workers at Shen-
andoah it was decided to demand that
the sliding scale, or the 81. so basis,
should be abolished before the strike is
declared at an end. The delegates to
the Scranton convention were so in
structed. Many Of the delegates from
Schuylkill declare that before com.
plete agreement is reached between the
operators and the miners joint con.
ference must be held at which the
sliding scale, dockage, semi-monthly
pay and other grievances must be ad-
justed. 1t is not believed that the op-
orators will
Go Into Such q Conference.
President Mitchell and the other labor
leaders ore strong advocates Of annual
wage scale arrangements similar to
that in force in the bituminous coal
field. The operators in these regions
meet their employees each year and fix
the wage scale. If this proposition and
that relating to the abolition of the
sliding scale are brought before the
convention, and negotiations with the
mine owners are opened, it may cause
considerable delay in the settlement of
the strike. The convention may be in
session several days and it is hardly
probable that any coal will be mined
next week. Some Of the national Of
ticers are unanimous in their declara-
tions for settlement and will exercise
their influence with delegates to accept
the offer of the companies.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1l.-Recent hap
penings in China, especially in the
province Of Chi Ii, have so far set back
peace negotiations that it may be mat
ter of weeks or even months before the
peace commissioners will be able to get
to work.
All efforts have been neutralized by
the spasmodic and unnecessary activity
Of the allied military forces. There
was no necessity whatever for the Pao-
Ting-Fu expedition, in the judgment of
the officials here, and that venture was
the straw that determined the imperial
court to flee to the western mountains.

ANOTHER CLASH
Strikinu Miners and NOn-UniOn Men
Come ToQether at the Oneida
COIIiery.
One Policeman Killed and a Second
Officer and Striker Badly
Wounded.
Riot the Result of an Attempt to
Prevent Workers From En-
tering Mines.

HAzLEToN, Pa, Oct. 1.-The second
fatal clash between the striking mine
workers and the non-union men oc.
Cured at Oneida colliery, in Schuylkill
county, IL miles from here, when a
coal and iron policeman was shot
and instantly killed. Another po.
lceman and striker were dangerously
wounded. In addition about a dozen
of the employees of the colliery were
badly injured by being stoned by the
strikers. The dead man is Ralph Mills
OF Beaver Meadow. George Keller,
Beaver Meadow, is in the miners hos
pital here with bullet in his head.
The striker wounded is Joseph Lipke
of Sheppton, who was shot through the
groin.
The shooting was the result of two
separate riots. The first began at 2 a.
m. and reached climax about 6 O'Clock
when the marching strikers, mostly
Hungarians, attacked the men on their
way to work in the Oneida colliery,
which is operated by Coke Bros. & Co..
The marchers numbered about 800
men, women and boys. Stones were
thrown and the coal and iron police
men who endeavored to protect those
on the way to work,
Were forced to Seek Shelter.
No shots were fred at this time and
the marchers then dispersed. The Sec
ond clash was the result of an attempt
on the part of the company to have a
train of coal cars from the slips moved
to breaker. The engine which was
ATTACHED to the cars was surrounded by
men and women, who stoned the en-
gineer. Superintendent Kudlick of
Drifton demonstrated with the crowd,
but to no purpose.
The policemen in this instance were
employees who had been sworn in to
protect the company's collieries. Per.
sistent attempts were made to stop the
train and the men made q concerted
rush upon the guards, who are said to
have run in the direction Of the engine
house. The strikers gave chase and
the firing followed. Probably dozen
shots We're fred. After the firing, Mills
and Keller were found lying upon the
ground and Lipkow was limping about
with his hands pressed over his wound.
Mills was dead

brought on the trouble with the
Filippinos and are nursing it at the
present time causing millions of ex-
pense, and the shedding Of innocent
blood, and last but not least disgrace
ing the flag they have recorded an
oath in heaven to defend.
The only difference between Spanish
corruption and American corruption
is one of price, the latter being much
higher price. The Fillipinos have
been learning that lesson since the
18th of Aug. '98 and they know it well
now, hence have lost all faith in us
and will believe nothing we tell them
for our actions speak palmer than
words and they say we are like the
Spaniards "here for what there is in

pino.
The Philippine trouble is far from

and burning of towns than ever. Still
they say the war is over and suppress
