PRESIDENTS PLANS CHANGED.
May Not Be Able to Visit the @. A.
r. Encampment.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The Chinese
crisis has reached so acute a stage that
President Mckinley has notified the
management of the Grand Army Re-
public encampment in Chicago that he
may not be able to be present at the
encampment next week, although "
possible he will endeavor to take some
part in the ceremonies. The an
nouncement is rendered necessary by
the grave situation in the far east.
Mr.. Cortelyou, secretary to the pres
ident, has Just advised William H.
Harper, executive director of the ma
tional encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic that while the presl-
dent had intended to leave Washington
tomorrow, reaching Chicago Saturday
afternoon, to participate in the exer-
cses Of the encampment, the condi-
tion of public business of immediate
Importance in Washington will delay
his departure from Washington and
possibly prevent him from visiting CHI
cago at all. If the president finds that
he can leave here so as to be present
at some of the exercises he will do
so, and Mr.. Harper and others having
them In charge will be promptly no
titled,

MINE AFIRE FOR FORTY YEARS.
Flames in Summit Hill Coal Veins
Spread to a Colliery.

Allentown, Pa, Aug. 2S.-The fire in
the mine at Summit HILL which has
been raging furiously for the last week
has broken into the Spring Tunnel coll
liery. operated by George M. Davies,
and all efforts to prevent its spread
have so far proved unavailing. On ac-
count of the heat and the attendant
risk the force of fire-fighters was COM
PEELED to leave the mine. All opera
tions at the Spring Tunnel colliery
have ceased and 300 mon and boys have
been thrown out of employment In
definitely.
The fire in the Summit Hill mine
originated forty years ago, and has
since been burning the coal steadily.
1t is estimated that the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company, which owns
the property, has expended a million
dollars in an endeavor to extinguish
the fire. The big duplex pump which
poured water into the mine broke down
a short time ago, and this, it Is said
is responsible for the spread of the
flames. The fire is now eating its
way through the richest veins of coal
in the Panther Creek valley. The sus-
pension of work at the Spring Tunnel
colliery is a serious blow to the busi-
ness interests of Lansford and Summit
HILL
