extra output the company cannot sup
on the West yesterday that extraord-
mary orders could not be filed. Mean
while reports are coming from all parts
of the country of large increase in the
price of coal to consumers to keep the
orders down. All was quiet in the en-
tire coal field yesterday. Even the
much advertised clash in Lykens re-
gion Of the Pennsylvania railroad dis
trict was sidetracked through a de.
cision of the strikers. Nevertheless
there were fewer men ut work yester-
day than the day before, President
Mitchell claiming that more than 1885,
900 men are now idle. Contradictory
reports come from the Schuylkill re-

at Morea, after being out two days,
had decided to return to work, being

at strike headquarters. The mine ope-
rators, after generally maintaining a
silence for several days, are showing a
disposition to talk for publication, and
as a result several statements from
their side are printed. All breathe the
same spirit. No recognition Of the
United Mine Workers and a fight to
the finish with President Mitchell and
his followers. Marching makes the
ti1nid men and women in the Hazelton
region nervous because of the terrible
result of that sort of campaigning in
1897 when the deputies shot down
marchers, and marching began in
earnest there yesterday. The marchers
were peaceful, however, and they sue
coded in inducing several hundred men
to quit work, temporarily at least:

The editor of an anarchistic news
paper in this country hailed the muir
der of King Humbert with an editor
ial paean of Joy. He frankly conceded
that Humbert was kind and estimable,
personally, and that he had not been
guilty Of depressing his people; yet
this man rejoiced in his death merely
because he was a king. What sort Of
q man it is who breaches such doc
trines-what sort of men anarchy
breeds-is we'll brought out by the
comments of Chicago paper on this
editor: "He is not worker, but a
dead beat, He spends most Of his
time consuming beer and giving utter
ance to the desire that people may be
killed. He is not even q brave man.
When he was last wanted by the po-
lice he had to be dragged out from un-
der the bed where he had hidden"
This is Just arraignment, not merely
Of an anarchist, but OF anarchy.

United States to Act independents
II Of the other Powers Little
Hope of Attaining Harmony of
Action Among the Other Powers.
Washington, Sept. 21.-An important
conference over the answer to the
German note was held at the White
House last night. The parties to the
conference were the president, Attor-
ney General Griggs, DR.. HNl, Assistant
Secretary of State Adee and Gen. Cor
bin. who, by executive order. is acting
! secretary of war. The president en-
tertained these gentlemen at dinner
and the subsequent conference lasted
until II o'clock. At its close one, OF
the participants said no final action
had been taken It is understood,
however, that the answer Of this gov
eminent, as now framed, is in effect a
German proposal. n
Day of Private Discussion.
With the German proposition. to
postpone peace negotiations with
China until the persons responsible for
the Pekin outrages are punished and
the French and Russian notification
Of the purpose of those governments
to begin such negotiations at once
awaiting him, the president found
much matter of Importance to dispose
Of upon his arrival in Washington
from Canton yesterday morning. He
lost no time in notifying the officials
he desired to consult Of his return and
the day was largely given up to private
discussion. The German government
apparently is anxious for q speedy
answer to its note, as Baron Stern
berg paid two visits to the state de-
partment after the note was delivered.
The Chinese minister also was twice
at the state department yesterday
seeking to influence the government
Not to Agree
to the joint action suggested in the
German note. The conclusion reached
from the days developments is that
the powers are dividing as to China,
and that at present Germany ana
Great Britain stand aligned against
France and Russia, While both sides
are ardent1y seeking the. adherence of
the United States government. The
Issue appears to be made up in such
shape as to dismiss further hope of
attaining that harmony of action re-
speeding China that the president has
been seeking so far and the point ap,
parently has been reached where the
United States must take sides or at
once proceed to act entirely independ.
emit Of other powers in reaching a set>
tlement. The Chinese government Is
urging the latter course upon the state
department. but thus far there has
been a restraining force in the desire
to avoid making the United States the
first Of the powers to break the solid
front that has been maintained up to
the present time in dealing with China.
Ready to Begin Negotiations.
The first definite determination to
begin peace negotiations with China
seems to have been reached by the
French and Russian governments,
which have made known their purpose
to proceed with negotiations with Ii
Hung Chang and Prince Ching as
soon as feasible. .-s.e.. .-

The republic n party Keeps lbs pledges
1t is we'll for the repnblisens of staunsh

ises to build them in American ship

sailors together with the construction OF
an inter oceanic canal built and control
led by the United States. With regard
to the burning question of trusts bill

but was defeated by dsmocraticsvotes,
the position of the republican party is
fearless, logical, sound and conservative.

FKEE.DEIfyERY AGAIN.

Farming districts which are enjoying
It's rural free mail delivery are getting
alarmed lest the privilege be taken away
from them if Bryan is elected. Demo
Gratis do not want any kind of republican
sue, ess to continue They hate above
al things to lie compelled to carry out
to success any thing the republicans have
starred, sAd they never do il when they
see way ont Of it. Accordingly the
democratic platform this year is silent
on rural free delivery, while the rspHb-
-aicsr platform declares for an extension
II tke system wherever it may be justi-
fed Like other enterprises, this is a
good one to trust only to its friends.
Democratic success will throw a cloud
over the whole matter of free rural mail

In Ohio there are 10000 families living

REPUBLICANS, BE vICILANT.

1t is necessary for every repRblics~
to see that the vote ON election day in
every precinet is voted. as full repub-
lican vote means success, while failure
to vote means defeat. Republicans lost
the presidency in 1894 simply by the
failure of a few thousand voters in New
York state TO cast their ballots, because
they were sure of success. That the
country is overwhelmingly for the re-
publican party there is not the slightest
doubt but it is necessary for the men
who believe in republican principles and
who are anxious to continue the Nc
Kinley prosperity to get to the polls. 1t
is also necessary to vote the straight
republican ticket, so as TO carry con-
gress; also the state legislature which
elects United States senators.

yHE InpKRrAEIsTIc BUeABoo.

Of the Numerous bogies and calamities
with which, according to democratic
claims republican rule threatens the
American people, that of imperialism is
absurd to the point of lunacy. Every
step in our foreign relations taken by
the republican administration has been
sound and patriotic. There was nothing
partisan about the war with Spain. The
whsls American people, with individ-
ual exceptions here and there, demanded
that our government should put an end
to Cuba's intolsrable suffering and deg
relation. Neither was there anything
partisan about ths terms of the treaty
of peace subsequently entered into.
Everything that our government has
done. since the treaty of peace with
Spain was signed, in respect to Cuba,
Porto Rico. and the Philippine Islands
has been done in good faith, on princi-
Piles of which we have no need to be
ashamed and with fair prospects of re-
suits creditable 10 ourselves as a nation
and productive of nothing but good to
the people for whose government and
protection we are now responsible.
More than all this, we say with un9ual-
fed emphasis, that beyond the shadow
of doubt. if Mr.. Bryan had been elect
ed President of the United States in
1896, instead or Mr.. Mckinley, ne would,
a. chief executive and commander of the
army and navy, have,carried on war
with Spain for the relief of Cuba, and
that this war would have resulted in
the annexation of all the territory that
we acquired by virtue of the peace
treaty at Paris AS matter of fact
the democratic party, rather than the
republican party, has, throughout our
history, instinctively favored expansion
and annexation. At this moment the
democratic solid south, If free express
sion of its genuine opinion were possible,
would be strongly in favor of our exer-
cising sovereignty in'the Philippines, rs
well as in other quarters, than in the
republican north.
