MORE MINES CLOSED A Call for Troops Comes from
 Luzerne County. SITUATION GROWS MORE CRITICAL President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers Says That Matters
 Are Entirely Satisfactory
 to the Men
SITUATION GROWS MORE CRITICAL

Philadelphia, September 25.-The most in- teresting development in the coal strike situation today was the request of LuzernS County for State troops to assist the aur thorities in maintaining order. On Friday last the sheriff of Schuylkill County asked the Governor for troops, and the request was granted, three regiments of the nas tional guard being sent into that county.
 The Governor concluded that the situation al present in Luzerne County did not just fly the sending of State troops there, and he will not call out more troops until, ip his judgment, there is sufficient cause therefor. He will confer tomorrow with Sheriff Harvey further on the subject.
 The marching strikers in Luzerne County before daylight this morning vert qhitS successful in getting men to quit work and join in the strike. No overt acts were committed by them, however, and when met by the sheriff and his deputies and ordered to disperse they obeyed the ordeH They did so, though, in rather sullen manner. and some of them somewhat angri- ly disputed the sheriff's authority to pre-. vent their moving along the highways.
 Four of their number were placed under arrest on the charge of breach of the peace.

Galveston, Tex, September 25.-The fol- lowing signed appeal was issued tonight "To the American People.
 ''Sevent. Il days after the storm at Gal weston it is still impossible to accurately estimate the loss of life and property. But 1t is known that the dead in the city will number at least 5000, or approximately one sixth of the census population. The island and adjacent mainland will add perhaps 2000 to this number. The actual property damage Is incalculable in precise terms, but we believe the individual losses and the public property, such paving, wa ter works, schools, hospitals, churches, etc., will easily amount to $30000, GOO. This estimate takes no account of the direct and indirect injury to business.
 "Along the beach front alone upward of 2600 houses by actual map count were to- tally destroyed Of these not timber remains upon the original site and the wreckage constitutes the embankment of debris extending along the entire beach front, three or four blocks inward, for about three miles, the removal of which will cost from $750,00 to $1,000,000. From this debris there are still daily uncovered by the workmen now systematically em-' ployed from thirty to fifty bodies which are burned or buried upon the spot. More over, we estimate that 9719 per cent of the remaining houses throughout the city were damaged in greater or less degree.
 "On the removal of this debris in the clearing of streets, in making temporary repairs to houses not entirely destroyed, in distributing supplies and in the general ynrlr Of are engaged Men whose services could not be secured at this season ordinarily, are giving their time without compensa ton. Firms whose affairs ordinarily require the attention of three partners retain one for the transaction of their business and lend the other two to the public service. The stevedores, cotton tanners and other bodies of organized skilled workmen who com mand handsome wages at this time of the year have been giving their time free of cost and one association has contributed from the charity fund $1009 In cash to the general relief, while all other organiza tions are caring for their own to the utmost of their resources. Visiting newspaper men now here will bear witness to this universal condition of self sacrifice.
 "The burdens of our committees have been frightened in great degree by Governor Savers, who has personally undertaken the supervision of relief to the mainland sec- tions, and by the splendid services of Ad- jutant-General Scurry and staff in maln- taining discipline and directing labor until the beginning of this work, when his de- partment was merged into the regular relief work and city government

lars worth of labor, which is now of vital Importance. The able-bodied men of Gal weston, though destitute and with their decimated families sadly needing the ordi- nary comforts and necessities of life, are glad of an opportunity of performing this necessary labor for the means of susten- ance, and 1t is much better to employ them as willing workers than 1t Is to support them upon the public bounty and employ outsiders to do the work.
 "The News. In common with every citizen of the State of Texas, appreciating beyond all expression the unprecedented generosity Of the people of the country in the calamity which has visited one of our beautiful cities, begs leave to suggest to subsequent contributors that they exemplhy their sym pathy and humanity by making cash con- tributions. Galveston Is now abundantly supplied with everything btt money with which to pay her willing labor for new work, and e dollar in cash. as VIC have said before, will perform double junctions that of relieving dollars worth of do- serving distress and ct the same time pay ing for labor that is above all things necesf sary to the salvation of the living and tho restoration of the city"

that the place of grand secSetary, said to have been conferred upon aHdn, is one or comparative unimportance, mainly sine cure, and is not held by a prince of the blood, as Prince Yuan Is. In view of this information the State Department Is not disposed to attach serious importance to the reports but if 1t should prove to be true that Prince Yuan has been advanced to high station, it doubtless will be taken cognizance of by the State Department, and may lead to serious consequences This gov ernment has laid down the principle that no one in any way connected with the out rages shall have anything to do with the forthcoming negotiations and this applies to Prince Yuan or any others notably con nected with the disturbances.

I'M. LASKER, CLARENCE OUSLEY, "(For the Committee. ]"

Galveston, Tex, Sept 25.-There are sey- enteen foreign steamers here ready for cargo. The official receipts of cotton to- day were 13,201 bales. More than thou sand men are working along the wharf front. More than two thousand contracts have been let tor repairs or rebuilding. Money is again getting in;o regular chan nels. General business Is partially resumed. It is proposed to consolidate the city and county governments for the purpose of economy.
 The clearing of the immense mass of wreckage is much slower than could be desired, but is progressing as fast as the limited labor supply permits.
 A mistake has been made in allowing sa- looms to reopen. In d quarrel last night between negroes one was killed. It is prob able the Mayor will be called upon to close the saloons for thirty days.
 Governor Savers is here conferring with the authorities A large number of con tractors, marine adjusters, land specuia- tors, etc., are pouring in.

Galveston, Tex, September 5.-The Gal weston News will say tomorrow:
 Acting only from sense of duty and simply desiring to inform those who. in their kindly generosity, desire to assist the unfortunate people of Texas who have been rendered destitute by the recent storm which swept the Texas coast, the News begs to advise all that there is no longer any necessity for shipping supplies of food, clothing and other merchandise. What is needed now above all things is money.
 "Conservatively estimated, 1t will require one million dollars to pay the labor incl dent to removing the vast stretches of debris and disposing of decomposing mat ter of various kinds so as to protect the health of the living. There are many able bodied men in Galveston who can assist in performing tfis vast and necessary task. Since they are willing to work 1t Is better to pay them than 1t Is to support them free. Indeed, they would rather earn by labor than to be succored as indigeuts. Hence, in Galveston cash will not only give dollars relief, but will give the city dol

London. September 26.-4 a. m.)-The news form China indicates that events are rapidly drifting in the direction of war between China and Germany. "There Is the best reason for believing" says the Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post that Count von Waldersee, on ar irving at Taku, will present an ultima tum demanding the surrender of five lead CTS of the anti-foreign uprising After a few hours grace he will formally declare war, and taking advantage of Germany's position as belligerant he will proceed vo seize everything available with the German forces and fleet.
 Tt is expected that Germany will take the Wu Sung forts and the Kian Can ar- senal, thus dominating Shanghai. # is also believed that she will attack forts on the Yang Tse from the land side. and endeavor to seize the Chinese 1eet in- cluding the valuable new cruisers. Fall ing this she will at least occupy all .Isa provinces of Kiang Su, north of the Yang Tse-Kiang.
 ''rhe French will support Germany. Thio is not rumor but reliable information. and will probably be confirmed at the foreign office Prompt action is necessary to pre- vent a coup which will constitute a serious menace to British interests.

 The Shanghai correspondent of the Stand ard, telegraphing Monday, says:
 "Chinese officials report that Prince TuAn has issued a secret ediot In the name of the Empress Dowager to the effect that the imperial court has decided to continue the war against the powers at whatever cost. The edict threatens that any official failing to support the Manchus will be beheaded as traitor, his whole family executed, and the tombs of his ancestors demolished"
 Only through the Associated Press ad- vices from New York, published in this mornings papers does the British public learn that the United States and Great Britain are once again ranged together in opposition to the continental powers. Al apparently such grouping was entirely unexpected in both Berlin and London, and until an official statement Is made, com- ment will be withheld.

WORST Is OVER
Flood Situation Presented No Alarming
 Features

Houston, Tex, September 25.-The flood situation tonight presents no alarming features. The rise in the Colorado has done no great damage save to crops and bridges There are no reports ot a fur ther rise coming down. The bulk of the water has passed Austin and the worst of it is past Bastrop. The reports sent out of the washing away of towns prove to be without foundation. The first Trinity rise is now getting into the lower river but as people had warning there is no loss of life. Another rise is reported at Denton which is yet to reach Dallas and Fort Worth. The Brazos is still swelling as far down as Bryan and Navasota but the water has not reached the overflow stage and is falling above these points. There has been no local rains along the lower portions of any of the rivers, so there is no great volume of water to be carried off there and water from the upper river will pass into the Gulf without doing much damage. The damage to crops has been heavy in only portion of the valleys as much bottom land has not been put in cultivation this year owing to the floods of last year having driven the negroes from the bottoms.

ment, expressing hope that 1t is erroneous and declaring, that the only way in which England can reap the fruit of her exertions in China Is by standing shoulder to shoul- der with Germany and Japan, as the only effective counterpoise to Russo French machinations and the weak-kneed policy of America"
 The Times, in an editorial on China's re- pentant mood, refers to Great Britain's reply in the same tone as the Daily Chroni- cle, and says:
 'The country would be both astonished and shocked If our government did not warmly support the German proposal. It is simply inconceivable that the British, of all governments should refuse to accede to the proposal at once so reasonable and just.'
 The editorial proceeds to quote from the Times Berlin correspondent to the effect that the German note consisted of two well-defined parts, the first containing the view of the German government that the criminals ought to be surrendered before negotiations were begun, and the second setting forth the proposal that China should invite the foreign ministers in Pe- kin to designate those whom they regard as the ringleaders. The correspondent says that Russia and Japan are understood to dissent from the first part of the note, and that the United States government .'it appears to be admitted that Germany will not insist on pressing her view at present"
 The editorial concludes with an express sion of confidence that the British people will both endorse the view and support the proposal. It suggests however that 1t is quite conceivable that Lord Salisbury ..roay not care to go further for the mo- ment than Germany herself now considers sufficient"

MORE MINES CLOSED
Strikers Gain Recruits Mitchell Says
 Situation is Satisfactory

Hazleton, Pa., September 25.-It was learned tonight that Sheriff Harvey of this Guzerne) county has telegraphed to Governor Stone asking that troops be sent to this county on the ground that the sheriff cannot guarantee the safety of per- sons or property during the night marches of the strikers The Governor, it is under- stood, Is considering the matter.
 It was also learned that the sheriffs re- quest was backed up several telegrams from mine operators.
 It Is believed that the sheriff is of the opinion that the presence of troops will prevent any further marching, thus les sening the possibility of serious trouble.
 The strikers met after midnight at Cram berry last night, and when they reached Tomhicken they were stopped by Sheriff Harvey and thirty armed deputies, who went to that place on a special train. It was yet dark and the sheriff read the riot act to them by the light of lantern. The strikers then scattered in different direc- tions and began missionary work in pre- venting mine workers from going to the Potts mines at Tomhicken, Derringer and Gowen. They were successful in prevent ing a large number of men from going to work and in consequence of which Der ringer and Gowen mines were crippled. The Tomhicken slope was only slightly affeot- ed. Four of the marchers were arrested charged with breach of the peace, and in the afternoon were taken to South Wilkes barre and committed without ball. There was no conflict between the deputies and the strikers.
 R. Trepon, a coal and iron policeman, says he saw President Mitchell and Moth CT" Jones on hill at Derringer directing 1x.1fu <,f fhA DwAa Mitchell denies this. It was rumored that another march was to be made tomorrow
