A Strange Meeting.

Wichita, Kas., Sept. 13.-Franklin
Crawford, brought to Jail here on a
charge of attempting to defraud the
United Stated pension department,
met two sisters in the federal court
who had not seen him for twenty
years. They were Mrs. J. II. Barnes
and Mrs. Thomas Blesard, of Ashland,
O., and they had been summoned as
witnesses against him. An elder
brother of Mrs. Barnes and Mrs.
Blesard had enlisted in the civil war,
and died of fever at Vicksburg, 1862
Some one had assumed his name and
was trying to defraud the government.
The two sisters were summoned here
to testify against him. When they
arrived, they found the defendant was
younger brother who had left home
as boy, twenty years ago, and who
had for fifteen years been thought
dead. The meeting was such scene
as make men shed tears.

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE Rev.
J. F. Peat and wife and four children,
with Miss F. Hunt, missionaries, who
escaped from the western province OF
China, arrived here on the steamer
Nippon Maru They were among the
last of the missionaries to leave China
They journeyed 1900 miles across the
country, but as they were in district
where the trouble did not begin early.
they encountered no violence.
The Rev. Mr.. Peat says that the Chi
nese were rapidly arming themselves
with the assistance of foreign manu-
facturers of war materials.
'There are arsenals in the capitals
of nearly all the provinces said the
missionary, land it is of little use now
for the powers to agree that they will
export no more weapons or munitions
to China. The Chinese have learned
how to make modern weapons for
themselves. At Chentu they are turn
ing out frst-class Mauser rifles in
large quantities.

never HEARD Of MITCHELL.
Miners Had Never Made Any Com
plant. Would Have Listened.
GIVEN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

New York, Sept. 17.-R. M. Oliphant,
railroad, says he has not replied and
would not reply to the telegram from
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, demanding
between the company and its men. He
called attention to the fact that it was
sent from Indianapolis at APO o'clock;
that it was received by him at 4:42 and
sit seems to me-" said Mr.. Ohphant,
'that that tells the whole tale.
''Mr. Mitchell, therefore, gave US less
than an hour to decide whether we
would submit to arbitration certain
grievances which he did not name.
Mr.. Mitchell has said that this telegram
was one last effort to settle the griev-
ances said to exist between the COM
pany and its employees. So far as am
aware this is the first attempt he ever
made to settle the matter. Surely
had never heard from him before; and
then L was given about three-quarters
of an hour to make up my mind. This,
with the exception of a communication
from certain walking delegates, is the
only intimation 1 have received that
our men were dissatisfied or that they
proposed to strike. The communica-
ton came days ago; it consisted of a
number of proposals which was di-
rected to sign and return at once.
Il might as well have declared the
company bankrupt as to have signed
that paper; and of course did not.
have always been ready to treat with
our men; and am ready to do SO now.
But no delegation from them has ever
appeared; and we have yet to learn
from our men themselves that they are
dissatisfied with their treatment We
do decline to treat with Mr.. Mitchell
and the organization he represents
''We shall not attempt to fill the
mems places. We shall shut down the
collieries and wait for the men to re-
turn. We have no desire to foment
disorder and shall not encourage it by
bringing in new men,"
William " S. Throne of the Penn
sylvania Coal company, which en-
ployes 5000 men, declared that he took
similar position. This company, he
added, would make no effort to put
new men at work unless the strike
was indefinitely prolonged.
