 who came to participate in the parade and

Great BrItain's Answer

Berlin, October 1o.-Great Britain's an. swer to Germany's second note was. re- ceived today. It was an upreserved and unconditional acceptance of the German position.
 It IS thought that the French note will be shelved indefinitely, since 1t is not re-
 The situation Is regarded as somewhat more hopeful by the Vossisiche Zeitung, in view Of the fact that Emperor Kwang Su Is apparently regaining authority.
 "The Americans" says the Lokal An zeiger, "desire, above all other things, to play a leading role. but if they were to re- tire altogether from China they would do more good than harm"
 The Boersen zeitung, discussing the ques- tion in similar strain, remarks that "the Americans wish to withdraw from their Chinese adventure after having hindered, more than furthered, the action of the powers"

Press Comment on the Situation-Spec.
 ials From China.

London, October u-4:15 a. m.-The to the gravity of the situation in Southern China but they give no further details than have already been forwarded In dispatches to the Associated Press. In some quarters 1t is urged that 1t would be better to erl1- ploy British than Indian troops in China. The Standard commenting editorally upon the attitude of the United States says:
 Every dissent, venom minor points, from the suggestions of the powers, is un- fortunate, as 1t leads to fresh correspon- dence and to further delay.
 i've can only hope that when Lord Salisbury Is free to turn his attention to China he will find some middle course that will secure the support of all the powers,"
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post, wiring Tuesday says:
 ''The Taotai of Shanphai and the Viceroy of Nankin have protested against a derh- onstration By foreign troops"
 Shanghai specials say that the real req son for the suspension of Yu Hsien, Cow ernor of the province of Shan Si was the discovery that his supposed army of b0,Ooo numbered only 40O0.
 The Morning Post publishes the follow ing dispatch dated October from Ho- Si-Wu on the Pei-Ho:
 General Chaffee refused to convey any baggage, although three baggage wagons had bee nobtained. The American soldiers are glad to so to Manila. The accommodate ing and polite attitude of the British and Japanese toward General Chaffee Is very noticeable.
 An American today expressed to me a new view of the American withdrawal. I never favor the withdrawal of our troops,' he said. They fought well to reach Pekin, but since that time they have done as lit- tie as possible even for Americans. Their presence being aggressive, only hampers other countries. A thousand men under General Wilson can do more than 5000 under General Chaffee.'"
 "The Russians" says the Moscow corres- pendent of the Standard, "are pushing the railway from Kurbin with all possi- ble speed. Troops are daily arriving from Amur to reinforce the army that Is en- deavoring to force It's way southeast to join hands with the expeditionary force from Port Arthur, which has failed to ex- ecute the task appointed, as 1t met with great opposition. Large Chinese forces are massed in the neighborhood of Mukden.
 "The Russian generals are arranging win- ter quarters for the large armies in Man. churia. Ten thousand troops will be quar- tered at ITktusk, ready to move up with the first opening of the river to navlgA- tion in the spring."

Expect More Trouble

Wlkesbarre, Pa., October IDA number of deputy sheriffs left here tonight to join Sheriff Harvey's forces in the lower end of the county. It is now becoming apparent that unless the strike is called off by the Scranton convention, there Is going to be more or less disturbance.
 Hunger is beginning to manifest itself in the families of many of the strikers, and another week of idleness Is going to bring distress to the homes of many. Farmers who veeclose to the mining villages claim that they are being robbed of their prop erty every night Barns and cellars are broken into, and potatoes, meats and corn carried away On Monday night COW was slaughtered in field near Buttonwood.

to address the men in mass meeting. It was the greatest labor demonstration that has ever taken place in the Lackawanna Valley. Thousands of miners and their families came to the city from all towns within radius of twenty miles. The strike leader with James Maoir, the Mayor of Scranton, rode in a carriage at the head of the line. Then came a solid column of working men so long that it took an hour and fifteen minutes to pass a given point. As in the other big parades held in the re- zion during the past ten days many of the boys employed in the breakers preparing coal for the market were in line. There were also innumerable banners carried by the men bearing notices setting forth their grievances. The parade was dismissed at the circus grounds, on the outskirts of the city, where the big mass meeting was held.
 It is estimated that more than 10000 per- sons were gathered around the speakers stand. When Mitchell, In his speech, told the miners that the proposition of opera tors to advance wages was not enough, the spoptaneity of the applause was almost startling. He followed this up by declaring that the mine owners ought to abolish the company stores, and with the mention of each grievance there would come an out burst of applause from the men.
 MT. Mitchell refuted the statement that the strike was in the interest of politicians, and also denied that bituminous interests had anything to do with the present con- test. lie declared that if any soft coal was shipped into the anthracite market as a sicostitute, it came from the non-union bituminous field of West Virginia. He gave the union men now on strike in the anthra- cite great praise for their loyalty and said there were only 5000 union men in the an thracite region on the day when the strike began, but 112,000 men have obeyed the or der to strike.
 The speakers besides MT. Mitchell includ- ed w. B. Farley of Alabama.

SITTING BULLS REQUEST.

Alice Fletcher 10 the Woman's Jour
nal makes a strong appeal for the "Ns-
TONS Wards" in paper entitled "The
Indian Woman and Her Problems" One
auecdote selected from it will touch the
heart more thso pages of reasoning and
dissertation. She says:
"O0ce when was visiting in the tent
of Sitting Bull he spoke to me OF the
change that had come upon the I0dian
through the exteEminstion OF the butfa"
10. The skin OF the hunter he said,
'ls now of no use, por is the valor of the
warrior; mans avocatioD is gone. AS
he talked his wife entered the tent,
bearing wood in her arms. She laid
the sticks on the fire, and then threw
herself down beside IL, resting on
her elbow an leaning her head on her
hand. The light from the kidding fire
lit up her handsome face and sparkled
on her brass bangles as she fixed neT
brilliant eyes 1pon mine. Sitting Bull
looked at her silently for a few mo-
ments, and then turned to me, SAYING:
You are a woman; take pity on my
women, for they have no future. The
Young men can be like the white men;
they can till the soil, supply the food
and clothing; they will take the work
out OF the hands OF the women, and tie
women, to whom we rave owed every
thing 10 the past, will be stripped of
all which gave tnem power and posi-
ZION among the people. Give a future
to nv womeIp He drew ring from
nis finger, and said: Take this to re.
mind you of my request. Help my
wOmep.'

DISCOVERY OF A CAVE.-A remark
able cave has been discovered two miles
from Davis, Tucker county, w. Va,
and half mile from Black Water
Falls, miniature Niagara, over which
nemlOck -colored water ever falls. The
discovery was made by a party OF Davis
uunters. The entrance Is very smal!
and gradually wideDs.
Tolliver Franc, an explorer of much
experience, with some difficulty ex
Amined the cave for some distance, and
ne thinks it may rival the famous Lu-
raw cavern when better known. The
cave is comparatively free from water
and the fl Dor at many places is covered
with fiue white duet CT sand. Foo =
prints have beou traced The sknll OF
o suppo. Q I dan, b., ds, arrow b 'sCa
and a few stone implements we're
found. There are only few stalac-
tites, though the cave is of limestone
formation. 10 an old Iudi q history i'
found the story that at the time of the
massacre OF Fort Seybert, 10 Pendleton
county w. Va, then Virginia in 1853.
the Indians often spoke of "KeuiD'
sheks," (he place OF evil spirits), and
pointed 10 the setting sun.
