Field-Not Ton Mined During the
Entire Day.
SHENANDOAH, PJn-, Sept. 27.-To-
days developments in the strike sltua-
tion In this region showed important
gains on the part of the mine workers.
Two big collieries In the Ashland dis
trict controlled by the Philadelphia &
Reading Iron and Coal Company was
compelled to close and third worked
with crippled force. The Locust
Spring cofffery at Locust Gap, nine
miles from Ashland, was unable to work
owing to the small number OF men who
reported. This operation ordinarily en-
ploys about 1880 men and boys. The
Bust coiliery at Locust Dale. closed this
afternoon, and the Potts colliery Mt Big
Mine run worked with small force. 1t
is estimated that 1900 men are en-
ployed at these two mines. The union
mine workers In the Ashland district
say they have been willing for some
time to strike. but were restrained by
lack OF organization.
In the territory between Shamokin
and AcAdeo there Is but one colliery at
work, the North Franklin ut Traver-
ton, and this is said to be short handed.
In the Mahaney district all the collieries
are tightly closed. Every breaker at
Mahapcy City has been cleaned out of
coal and trade there must now be gup-
piled from other points. There Is no
change In the situation here tonight.
Not ton Of coal was mined In Shenan-
doah to-day.

GONGER ADVISED

By State Department of This Govern
ment's Replies to Germany and
Russia-Troops Will Begin EYac-
uating at Once.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. 27.-alln-
lister Conger has been advised by the
state department Of the substance OF
the replies made by this government
last Friday TO the government OF Ger
many, Russia and China respecting
China, which clearly indicated to him
the general nature OF the instructions
he Is to receive. Moreover. by this time
he is Informed of the orders Issued to
General Chaffee to reduce his force to
legation guard. The note to China
specifically pointed out the lines on
which this government will issue Its In
structions to Its minister. The docu-
ment Itself Is In course OF final approv-
al. Acting Secretary Hill having COM
pleted the draft some days ago and for
warded 1t to the President. It is said
that the text OF the instructions will
not be given publicity at present for
diplomatic reasons, but there is no con-
cealment of the general scope OF the
document, which Is on the lines laid
down In the three notes. In this con-
nection. 1t Is said at the state depart
ment, that Mr. Conger will put these
negotiations In motion without any
purpose of acting for. any government.
other than the United States, although
the government steadily keeps in mind
that the United States is but one of
several nations mutually Interested in
obtaining common end.
Prince Tuan Objectionable.
It is believed that the state depart
ment already has taken steps through
Minister WI. to Impress upon the
Chirese government the undesirabilIty
of the appointment of Prince Tuan as
grand secretary and the painful i'm
preston this appointment has created
throughout this country.
The government feels that 1t is much
reinforced in Its present position by the
note from Ii Hung Chang. In which he
gave positive assurance to the United
States that he had sufficient authority
to protect nil American interests and
would see that this authority was ex-
ercised. II the appointment Of Tuan
promises In any manner to obstruct the
performance OF this pledge. then 1t
would De- clearly vlolative of the guar
antee laid down and would warrant the
immediate withdrawal Of Mr.. Conger
from further relations with the Chi
nese ENJOYS. So 1t appears that much
more depends upon what Tuan does
than upon what he has done.
