Instructions to Conger to Es-
tablish Relations With
Ching Held UP.
IT MAY SAVE HUMILIATION
Useless to Arrange a Meet
ing When the Powers Will :.
Not Attend.
News of Tuan's Promotion
May Have Something to
Do With 1t.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-It is ap.
parent that our government is again in
a waiting attitude after having made
the important move toward reduction
of the American troops in China. The
instructions to Minister Conger to es.
tablish relations with Lii and Prince
Ching are still held up here. 1t is be.
ginning to appear that the purpose of
the delay is to ascertain more clearly
the plans of the powers, in whose in
terest as we'll as in our own Mr.. Con.
ger was to endeavor to bring. about ne.
gotiations for settlement. If it shall
appear that there is disposition on the
part of any considerable proportion of
them to reject in advance the we'll
meant efforts of the United States gov.
ernment to bring about conference
and negotiations in which they could
participate on equal terms with our
own government with the purpose of
terminating the Chinese difficulties,
then Mr.. Conger's instructions may re-.
quire recasting. 1t might be regarded
as useless for him to arrange for a
meeting of the powers with China
which the former do not care to at
tend owing to entirely different pur.
poses from those animating the United
States, and there is probably no disposi.
ton to subject our minister to humilia.
ton by fat failure which might be
anticipated.
1t also is possible that the news rela.
tive to the advancement of Prince Tuan
to position where he might influence
the negotiations is regarded as worthy
of attention and that our government
may delay proceedings as long as he
stands in the way.

ITALY AND AUSTRIA.

Said They Alone Have Agreed Uncondi-
tionnlly to Germany's Plan.
PARIS, Sept. 27.-It is asserted from
excellent diplomatic sources that Italy
and Austria are the only powers which
have replied favorably and uncondi.
tionally to Germany's note. It is GER
tainly fact that the replies Of Russia
and France are almost identical, advo.
eating the punishment Of the origina-
tors of the anti-foreign assaults, but
not making their surrender an absolute
condition of the peace preliminaries.
Japan takes middle couse, leaning
a little more strongly towards Ger
many, while Great Britain declines.
A powerful argument used against
Germany's position was its establish.
ment of precedent that would permit
the powers in future wars to demand
personages considered by them to be
guilty leaders before peace negotiations
are undertaken.

British Reply to the German Note Re-

LONDON, Sept 26.-Lord Salisbury
has replied to the German note in
terms identical with those of the United
States.
The British pre,nier's decision to re.
fuse to agree to the terms of the Ger
man note was communicated verbally
to the German ambassador here, Count
Won Hatzfeldt- Wildenburg, during tho
course of long interview. His lord.
ships decision is not known here and
the information will not be officially
given out in England until the reply is
put on paper and transmitted to Berlin.
Only few officials are cognizant of
what Lord Salisbury said to Count Won
Hatzfeldt. Wildenburg in regard to the
latest development in the Chinese
question. Official circles here were in
clined to believe that his lordship
would agree with Germany, but in.
stead of doing so, he used almost ex.
actly the terms in which Washington s
refusal was couched and this, said
high Office, ''is all the moro surprising,
considering that the Washington Of
ficials had not the slightest inkling of
what England's attitude would be-"

Onicial Information of tho Promotion of
the boxer Chief.
WASHINGTON, Sept 27.-It is stated
in diplomatic quarters that definite and
official information has been received
that Prince Tuan had been appointed
president of the privy council of China,
instead of grand secretary, as was first
reported, and that number of other
Chinese officials prominent in the re-
cent uprising have been similarly hon
ored. The Chinese minister has not
been advised of Prince Tuan's appoint
ment, but he expressed the belief, after
calling at the state department, that
the report was probably true. The
position of president Of the privy coun-
Gil is said to be one of foremost i'm
portance, similar to that of secretary Of
state or premier.

NOTEWORTHY FEATURE
Considering the Number Out
but Little Disorder Has
Occurred.
State Troops at Shenandoah
So Far Have Not Been
Called On.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.-This is
the 1lth day Of the miners strike ard
as yet there is no indication of surren.
der or concession ON either side. In
fact no overtures looking to settle-
ment of the differences have been made
by either the strike leaders or the mine
operators. Various propositions for
settlement by arbitration have been put
forward by persons not directly con-
nected with the mining business, but
thus far practically no progress has
been made in this direction.
A most noteworthy feature of the
strike is the remarkable good behavior
of the strikers up to this time, espe.
cially when it is considered that the
claim is made that upwards of 100000
mine workers are idle in the anthracite
region. There have, of course, been
few disturbances, but none of a charac.
ter at all serious with the exception of
the one at Shenandoah on Friday last,
when striker was killed during
clash between a number of strikers and
q sheriff's posse. Affairs are
Quiet Throughout the Region.
A shooting affray occurred near Scran-
ton, in which three men were wounded,
but the participants, who were Ital.
ians, were all strikers and the affray
had no direct connection with the pres.
ent strike.
At meeting of some 150 or more
employees of Markle & Co., the pro.
prietors of a colliery operated independ.
ent of the coal carrying railroads, it
was decided to accept the firm offer to
arbitrate their difference } pending
which they would return to work. The
strike leaders, however, declare that
many Of Markle's men will refuse to
enter the mine and say majority eff
the employees are dissatisfied with the
firms decision as to their bill of
grievances.
Some few miners are working in the
Lehigh region, but in the Wyoming and
Lackawanna regions mining is almost
ut standstill.
The state troops still remain in
Schuylkill county, rendezvoused in and
about Shenandoah, but as yet their
services have not been called upon for
the suppression of disorder.

shal that the strikers had intimidated
tho men and that the company decided
to suspend operations to ensure the
safety Of the employees. Mr.. James
told Major Miller that strikers had en-.
tered the homes of Cambridge en-
ployes at night and threatened them
with bodily harm if they continued to
work. Brookwood washery, on the
Mahanoy plane, was working with a
full force during the morning when a
number of strikers visited the place and
induced the men to return to their
homes. The strikers did not resort to
violence

Democracy ITalts Mt No Deception.

peated reports of trouble" in Porto
Rico:
Let it be borne in mind that ma
terial for the wild and weird stories
published by the Democratic press Of
the United States is furnished by
Spaniards for the purpose of bringing
the citizens Of Porto Rico into disre-
pute, and with the hope, false and
fallacious though it may prove, Of
weakening the efforts being put forth
under the law Of congress to organize
an equitable civil government that will
accord to every man, rich or poor,
black or white, liberty and justice,
and in lieu thereof, turn the island
over as spoils to the rapaciously rich
and brutally harsh Spanish taskmak-
ers, as in the past"

Oh, say, can you see, by the far East
ern light,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilight's last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
after many fight,
In lands near and far, is so gallantly
streaming?
And the thanks in our prayer, rising
high in the air,
Give proof to the world that our flag
is still there:
Oh, say, let the star-spangled banner

Ger the lands we have freed and the

Oh, thus be it always, whenever we

Between the oppressed and a kings

Blest with victory and peace, may the

Praise the power that hath made us
powerful nation!
And onward we must, for our cause Is

And this be our motto, "In God is

Let the star-spangled banner In tr1-
