tlons presented by the French note will
be gone over In an informal way. The
French note which recently has been
addressed to the powers, is not re-
garded as Just now of pressing neces-
sity for action, US several OF the na-
!tions interested already have instructed
their representatives in Pekin to as
certain whether the imperial edict COM
pletely nam IS the persons deserving Of
punishment and other features OF the
French proposal contains propositions
which can remain In allegiance. This
government may not consider seriously
the propositions which look to the pro-
ihibition OF the Importation OF arms in
to China and the ,dismantllng Of the for
'tifications. In the meanwhile interest
centers in the report which Mr.. Conger
will make regarding the adequacy Of
the punishments to be meted out by the
Chinese government to those persons
who were instrumental In the boxer re-
volt and the future course OF this gov
,crnment may depend largely on what
the Investigations now being conducted
develop. No advices have come as yet
from Mr.. Conger on this subject. but
this is not surprising, as the work to be
undertaken Is OF considerable magni-
tude.
Troops Hurrying Out of China.
The war department officials expect
that all the American troops which
are to be sent from Pekin to Manila
will be out OF China by the 21st instant.
Such efforts as have been made by
the state department. urging the re-
turn OF the imperial family to the
capital city seem up to this time to
have been Intellectual. The last official
advices OF Minister WI now about a

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 7.-Now that a

offer is assured. attention Is turned to
The question of what the companies
mean by 10 per cent In case OF the mi
ner and his helper.
The miner works by contract and
pays the laborer out OF his earnings.
AS rule the miner cuts six londs OF
coal. for which he gets Sc 30. Out OF
this he pays for powder, oil and repair
OF tools and the wages OF his helper.
The laborcr's pay Is fixed Mt so much
per day and In this rrgion 1t averages
about 81 25. After paying the laborcr
and the expense OF powder. oil, etc, the
miner has about 81 30 left for. himself.
Ten per cent advance gives the miner
sixty-thrce cents extra per day. The
laborer wants his ID per cent, or clgh-
teen cents, and as n consequence the
miner must he content with forty-nve
cents extra. or per cent. But in many
instances mlrer has two laborers.
This means that thlrty-slx cents must
come out Of the sixty-threG cents. md

In letter to Chief Of Police Devery,
Mr.. McCullagh calls that officials at
stentlon to the fact that the days OF reg
istration will fall on October u and 13.
and October 10 and 20, and says:
"The past experience Of this depart
ment demonstrates very clearly that
the sources OF the debauchment OF the
franchise in the city OF New York are
chiefly found in the pool rooms, gamb-;
ling houses, disorderly houses, houses
OF prostitution, saloons run under the
guise OF hotels, In order to evade the
provisions Of the excise law and dives
of even baser sort"
Mr.. McCullagh then, at some length,
details the successful prosecution OF IL
legal voters and their sponsors after
the elections OF NOVEMBER, 1899, and
calls attention to the fnct that the evil
dence in these cases showed that they
were engineered by persons having Of
fetal connection with the city govern
ment, and that the illegal voters were
drawn from the houses quoted in the

Mr.. McCullaGh then submits the ad-

shall give to the superintendent Of elcc-
