Russia has decided to withdraw her
legation from Pekin, leaving a purely

The other powers viii also presumably
withdraw their legations, leaving Pekin
under the military control of the allies
during the winter at least.
AT a meeting of the generals. the
Russian commander announced that
Russia would maintain $4,000 troops

There is every indication, however.
that Lord Salisbury has decided chat

the best Informed quarters the opinion
is expressed that Russia and Germany
are acting in accord, Russia seeking
the dennlte alienation of all territory
the annexation of Shan Tung, Kiang
Su and the Yang Use provinces. Rus

the empress dOwager and the emperor

Russia Awaits New Government.
St Petersburg, Sept. 13.-The Russian
government adheres firmly to it's pro-
posal TO evacuate Pekin, and continued
to cherish the hope that Germany will
end by agreeing to it. and thus induce
Great Britain to follow. 1t is explained
however, that Russia recognizes the

No Figures on Resources.
There is practically no means of ar
irving at any estimate Of the resources
of the miners available for the main
tenance OF the people TO be called out
by the strike President Mitchell and
secretary Wilson, the latter the official
head of the finance department of the
organization, have firmly declined 10
give out any figures on this point.
1t would be a simple matter for the
operators, they said, If they knew
what amount of money We commanded
TO wait until it is exhausted More
over, it would be folly on our part to
make public at this time any infOrma-
ton upon which an estimate Of our
financial standing could be based.
AT the close Of last year there were
81, 1874 bona fde members in the mine
workers organization At the cOnven-
ton in January it was decided to levy
upon each of these members an assess
ment of % cents a month TO be placed
in the hands of the national executive
board for use as a defense fund Part
of this money has been used in small
strikes but the bulk OF IT is proba bly,
available at this time Since January
OF the present year there has been a
very material increase in the member
ship. which of course carries with it
an increased defense fund.
Aside from the money in the hands
Of the national executive board, local
unions in a number OF states have ac-
cumulated large sums Of money in their
treasures which, while not at the com
mand Of the executive officers of the
organization, will prOba bly, be placed
IN the strike fund Contributions from
other trades unions can be counted On
and from these facts II can be seen
that the miners are prepared for a long
fight

HEAVY REDUCTION
 IN SHORT INTEREST Stocks Were Again ReactionaTy
 on New York Change. STRONG SPOTS IN COALERS Growing Weakness Developed Among Some of the Specialties-M M arket
 Closed Dull-Prominent Stocks 2 Ranged Downward
 
STRONG SPOTS IN COALERS

l New York, September 2S.-StockS were re- dictionary again today on the substantial satisfaction of the urgent demand from the short interests. The brokers were too busy on the floor last night in the closing hour to notice what was going on in the loan crowd, but the fact was disclosed this morn- ing that the supply of stocks was again very abundant as result of the heavy re- duction in the outstanding short interest, and the consequent borrowing demand for stocks.
 This in itself was sufficient to indicate reaction, as the existence of large sbort interest is potential support to prices, and its elimination materially weakened the technical position of market. In addition there was the usual lack of implicit confi- dence regarding yesterdays rumored strike settlement and some natural reaction in sentiment as consequence. But the under lying conviction remains unshaken that settlement is in course of arrangement. There were strong spots among the coAlers, Reading first preferred advancing at the opening on it's good showing of August net earnings and Lackawanna rising an ex- treme S% on the declaration of the regular quarterly dividend This served as some

 Growing weakness developd among some of the specialties. and heavy liquidation was in evidence In Northern Pacific, the stock declining 2$s. The liquidation was attributed to Berlin account, the Berlin stock market continuing in highly unsettled condition, owing to the growing stringency of money. Declines for May of the prominent stocks ranged down 1 to 2 points from the lowest and the demand to cover shorts at the de- cline was slight. The market closed dull and heavy.

a bearish visible supply statement ruled remarkably steady. First trading here was done at loss of points, December sell ing at 9.30 but short crop talk and bad field reports from Texas together with re- newed buying on the part of a prominent New Yorker, caused prices to advance R points, December selling up to S.42, finally closing at 93S6D9.3 .39. The same apathy that has existed in the spot market Is still In evidence with no indication of an tmme- diate improvement.
