just how soon the official order notify
Ing the men that the strike Is ended and
to return to work will be issued by Presi-
dent Mitchell, can only be conjectured.
1t is believed here that no order to re-
turn Will be Issued until notice similar
to or in line with that of the Reading
and Lehigh companies is posted at all
the mines.
The Reading company's notice reads:
"Ir hereby withdraws the notice Of
October 8, 1900, and to bring about
practical uniformity in the advance of
wages in the several coal regions, gives
notice that it viii suspend the operation
of the sliding scale; Will pay 10 per
cent advance on September wages, until
April 1, 1901, and thereafter until fur
ther notice, and will take up with It's
mine employees any grievances which they
may have.
The Lehigh Valley company in whose
region the sliding scale is also in opera
tion, Will Issue similar notice, as VIII
also the Individual operators who were
represented at the meeting.
This meets all the demands of the strik
ers and means the immediate ending Of
the strike.
THE STRIKERS JUBILANT.
Hazleton, Pa, October 17.-The news
from Philadelphia spead through the
entire region with almost lightning
rap1dity. Everywhere satisfaction was
expressed by the strikers and others. 1t
is confidently believed that the strike
will be officially declared of this week
and that all the men Will have a chance
to return to work Monday.
President Mitchell informed all IN
quirers that the strike would be declared
off by no one but the United Miners
officials, and added that no miners should
return to the mines until notice to
that effect is Issued from labor head
quarters.

Philadelphia, Pa, October 17.-No

The residence of j. NJ. Jones near

city, was almost wholly destroyed BY
fire about 10 O'Clock Friday night.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

through the house and the place was
almost a total wreck before the are

There was nothing saved from among

with their lives. The flames were
fairly upon Mr.. Jones before he
could leap from the bed and catch a
bit of clothing. The family would
possibly have been cremated had it
not been for the fact that a daughter

Chan Perdue is Handsomely Remem-
bered by his Friends.

Concerning a former well known
resident of this city and Muchakinock
the Topeka, Kansas Capital says:
"If there is a man in north west
Kansas of whom it may be truthfully
said that he is FIRST in the hearts of
his fellow men," that man is surely,
Chan Perdue of Beloit
For more than twenty years he has
been an honored citizen of that pros
porous hamlet, holding one position
after another of public trust, dis
charging the duties ttached TO each
with the utmost ere d c to himself.
Each year his circle of warm and de-
voted personal friends has enlarged
till it is said Of him that he can pack
his clothes in more trunks with the
cordial consent of the owners than
any man in the state of Kansas.
To give expression to this general
esteem, the business men OF Beloit
presented him on his forty-ninth
birthday with a handsome double
carriage and gold mounted harness.
Governor Stanley was there, as well
as Congressman Reeder, Judge Pick
Ter and many other prominent men
OF the state. Speeches were made
which came from the heat and we're
so earnest in expression of deep
friendship that Chan was unable to
respond. The following we clip from
the Beloit Gazette:
To my neighbors and friends: !

This unexampled, unprecedented
and unexpected demonstration of

T~wenty-three officers and 50 men who were
prisoners, were released, and IS locomo-

tured. The former will relieve us OF great
difficulty, as we had to put up with a few
rickety engines.
French reports that he has sufficient
supplies for three weeks for his force and
for a week for his horses. One hundred
Beers with many Mause rifles and a
quantity Of ammunition were captured.
There are large quantities of cattle and
sheep In the country which is good news.
French intercepted large onvoy show
ing that Barberton was used as a depot Of
supplies for the Beers in the south and
southeast. The bulk of Frenoh's force.i is
still 80 miles behind the cavalry owing to
the difficulty OF getting the wagons over

Boxers in the rear. The Chinese
were routed, Teaving 200 dead. The
Americans had no causalties. The Ger
mans report an engagement with a
heavy force Of Boxers west of Picking.
The German loss is said to have been
20. Indications now point strongly to
the withdrawal of all the powers from
Peking to Tientsin.
Picking, Sept. II, via Taku, Sept. H.
The allied generals were in conference
four hours, the principal topic being
how best to encourage the Chinese to
return to work. 1t was agreed that
footing should cease and that forag-
ing parties should hereafter be ac-
cOmpanied by an officer who should
give receipts for all supplies taken.
The question of w~intering at Tientsin
was brought up with a view Of ascer-
tanning, il possible, the attitude of
the Russians. Gen. Linevitch admit
ted that most of his troops would win

At the japanese legation it is not
believed that the man who claims to
have killed Baron Won Ketteler is the

that he has been paid to accuse him

credit Prince Ching. The japanese IA

Shanghai, Sept. 1.-THE news Of
the contemplated withdrawal of the
allies from Picking has caused a great
sensation and is regarded here as a
great mistake, which is likely to
eVentuate in disturbances in other
parts of China, where the people are
certain to attribute the evacuation to
a defeat of the European forces. Even
here the Chinese, as a whole, do not
believe that the allies ever reached
Peking. They think the story a fab
rication connected for the purpose Of
imposing upon the officials.
Competent observers believe that a
lesson must be brought home to China
now in order to prevent serious out
breaks in the future.

IOWA MIN RAILS
Immense Increase in this Great
Industry.

Des Moines, Sept. 15.-The report
of the mineral production in Iowa for
the year 1899, which was compiled by
s w. Bever, has just been issued
Mr.. Boyer says that the year was
char acterized by the greatest activity
in all the mineral industries ever
known in this state. The output
shows great gains, and not only is
the guam ity greater, but the price
also. For instance, thu coal output
increased 10 per cent and the price
increased II per cents per ton, while
stone increased in production a quar-
ter of a million dollars, or more than
43 per cent. For the first time, &C
cording to the report, Iowa is now
listed as one of the states producing
iron ore in commercial quantity, The
federal survey assists the state in
this compilation of statistics of min
eral production. The report shows
that the value of mineral production
in Iowa in 1899 was $40, 1OI ,5O7. 1t is
a surprise to know that whereas there
are 203 producers of coal, there are
s50 producers of clay and It's pro-
ducers of stone. The following table
shows the value of Iowa's mineral
products in 1898 and 1899:
