ONE HUNDRED AND

TO BE ORDERED OUT
Officers of the United Mine
Workers Will Declare a
General Strike.
WAR ON THE OPERATORS

Every Anthracite Mine Is the United
States Will BE Closed Down-Miners
Have Large Fund and Are Pre-
pared to Enter Into Long Struggle
For Higher Wages.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-THE national
board of the United Mine Workers of
America went into closed session at 10
o'clock this morning. Fred Dilcher ar
rived here early this morning from
Wilkesbarra, Pa. The new board took
up the anthracite situation. John Mitch
ell, president, was in communication
late last night with Hazelton, Pa, by
long distance telephone. No encour-
agement was received. A general strike
order will probably be issued.
The order to strike will not come be-
fore tomorrow. 1t may be telegraphod
to the leaders of the anthracite mines
before being given out here.
eve will certainly issue the order for
a general strike, and the country may
as we'll be satisfied with this statement, !"
said one of the board members.
"We care little for what the operators
have to say as to the impending distress
in the Wyoming or other valleys. We
are running things from Indianapolis
now. The statement that thore will be
great distress does not worry us; we will
take care of our men if they go on a
strike. and will not ask the operators for
any financial aid. "
Features of the Conference.
1t was announced today that the large
defense fund held by the illinois miners
cannot be used without the consent of
the local unions in that state.
One of the features of the conference
is the attendance of several prominent
men who are not board members. w.
d. Ryan, secretary treasurer of the ILL
nois miners, is on the ground. The Il
linois men have defense fund of nearly
5000, 900 and it is reported that Ryan is
here to pledge the Illinois organization
in behalf of financial support in case a
general anthracite strike is ordered.
The Illinois miners have been contribut-
ing largely to the strikers Of the north
west, but their defense fund is the larg-
est ever accumulated by state organiza-
ton of coal miners.
J. M. Hunter, president Of the Illinois
miners, is in England attending the
convention Of the British labor congress.
w. D. VanHorn's presence here lends
color to the reports that the national
board is carefully preparing to whip"
the bituminous operators INTO a position
where no relief can be given the anthra-
cite operators after strike is on.

NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS

Compromise suggested TO the Eosi6Aon
Russia Has Assumed.
PARIS, Sept. 7.-Active negotiations
are in progress looking to some compro-
promise arrangement with Russia re-
garding the position she has assumed
toward Peking. The communications
exchanged between the powers now have
better promise of success.
The compromise suggested, 1t is as
serted here, is the withdrawal of the
forces of all the powers from Picking,
leaving an international guard to pro-
tect the legations which, 1t is further
asser ted In Paris, will be allowed to re-
main in the Chinese capital pending a
peace settlement. The main body of
troops. it Is also said, will retire to the
neighborhood Of Tien Tsin, leaving
sufficient forces along the road to keep
open the route and railroad between Pc
king and Tten Tsjn.
Rnssia's attitude is interpreted here
as meaning that she will Withdraw her
troops outside the walls Of Picking, but
not necessarily a great distance from
that city.

unreliable. In Picking the government
is dead. 1t means either partition or tht
maintaining of an independent provin
cia1 government.
WASHINGTON, Sept, TIT is known
that the government has inferentia
knowledge Of the attitude of all the
powers regarding the Russian propo
sal, but it Is still awaiting official adj
vices as to some of them. The informa
ton concerning those regarding which
no official announcement has been re-
ceived, it is stated, Is practically that
which is in possession of the general pub
lie and is based on newspaper reports
and the opinions of official organs of the
various countries.
It seems to be regarded as highly
probable, in official circles, that when
the time arrives for the negotiations for
the settlement with China this govern
ment will appoint commission for that
purpose rather than place the negotia-
lions in the hands of single individual.
There have been various suggestions as
to who might be appointed upon such Q
commission, but it is positively stated
that, as yet, no definite selections have
been made.
It can be stated upon the highest au-
thority that there will be upon the COM
mission some American of pre.eminent
ability, whose reputation would be an
immediate guarantee to the American
people that American interests would be
safe in his hands.
It is believed that the administration
is now casting about for such man to
head the commission when it shall be
ready to appoint it. The names of ex-
President Harrison, ex-Secretary of State
Day and John Bassett Moore, who was
secretary Of the peace commission at
Paris, have been mentioned in this con-
nection.
No information is obtainable today re-
garding the new note, which 1t has been
rumored the government was preparing
for transmission to the powers. No
representations have been made by this
government looking to a return Of the
Chinese imperial authorities TO Peking.
Such a course on the part of the Chi
nese, however, would be deemed highly
desirable by this government because It
is believed here that resumption of
the reins of power at the capital Of the
empire would inevitably hasten and IA
cilitate the peace negotiations.
In this connection the suggestion
which is being made of q possible lin
tied occupation of Picking by the powers
as compromise does not seem to meet
with favor here.
