necessary if miners and mine owners
were to adopt the system of adjusting
wage disputes in force in the bituminous
districts, where annual conventions of en-
blowers and employees agree upon the
scale of wages. President Mitchell con-
cludes:
Il and my official colleagues will not

A CRISIS SEEMS NEAR.
London's Comment on Germany's Game. Rus
slams Pouring Into Manchuria
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Sept. 22.-(Saturday, 4 a. nj
1t seems to be generally believed through
out Europe that Germany purposely pro-
posed her demand that the anti-foreign
leaders should be surrendered before ne
gotiations were commenced with a view
of delaying any general acceptance of her
proposal until Field Marshal Count von
Waldersee could arrive at Pekin.
In any event with Count Won Valdez
see journeying northward and Ii Hung
Chang conducting negotiations from Tien
Tsin matters must soon reach a crisis.
The manner Of Earl Lis reception seems
to confirm the suspicious existing in
Shanghai regarding his close understand
ing with Russia About four thousand
Russian troops and all the principal Rus
sian officers met him at Chung Liang
Chen, half way to Tien Tsin, A long
conference was held at which no repre-
sentative OF any other power was present.
This remarkable friendship exists at a
time when two continents are ringing
with the story of massacres by the Rus
slams in Amur.
The Moscow correspondent of the
Standard reverting to the subject of the
massacres this morning says:
From a recent visitor to the Amur re-
gion l learn that massacres are the or
der of the day with the troops that are
oveTrunning Manchuria. The orders are
issued by General Grodokoff. But it is
quite certain that Emperor Nicholas must
be ignorant of their nature.
my informant has seen a series of
kilograms from one Manchurian COM
mander, everyone of which beseeehes
that he be allowed to spare peaceable
citizens but the Russian Indifference to
the lives of the common herd is still of
a truly Oriental type"
The same correspondent asserts that
the troops by the wholesale continue to
pour into Manchuria.

was a city of 5000 or 10000 inhabitants.
We estimated that we saw the dwellings
of 20. 600 peaceable Chinese in flames that
awful day. while parties of Cossacks were
securing the fields to find Chinese and
shooting them down at sight. What be-
came of the women and children no one
knew; there was apparently no way for
them to escape to a place of safety. On
our way up the river for 500 miles above
the city, every Chinese hamlet was a
cbarred mass of ruins. The large village
of Motcha was still smoking, and we were
told that 1000 Chinese had been killed.
The Wholesale destruction. both of prop
erty and life. was thought to be a mill
tary necessity. Peace between the Rus
slams and the Chinese has come to an end
Years cannot wipe out the enmity en-
rendered"

Especial to News and Observer.)
Fayetteville, N. c., Sept. 21-Mr. Butler
has Just passed through on his way to
address "a Monster Indignation Meeting
at Ceddie's Gin in Flea Hill township.
This IS ore of the two disaffected town
ships in Cumberland that gave, to their
shame, a majority against white Su
premacy" Their so called indignation"
arises from the fact that three thousand
white men in Cumberland. true to the
blood of their forefathers. declared that
Cumberland should forever be ruled by
white men. This meeting cannot have
the sanction of any true Populists, and is
only to stir UP prejudice and an attempt
to detract from the Democratic and Pop
ulist candidate IN November.

New York, Sept. 21.-Concerning the

on the 18th fire was opened upon Blago-

were burned opposite the fort. The actual
injury inflicted by the Chinese was slight,
but the terror caused by it was indescrib

frenzy of rage. The peaceable Chinese, to

National Party Will Not Keep Presidential

(By the Associated Press.)


Boston, Sept. 21.-The National party
composed of men who feel that they can
not conscientiously vote either for Nc
Kinley or Bryan, at conference held at.
Young's Hotel this afternoon, abandoned
the idea of keeping a Presidential ticket
in the field and Archibald M. Howe, of
this State, who was nominated for Vice
President in New York on the 9Th instant,
is expected to follow Senator Caffery of
Louisiana, the Presidential nominee, in
formally withdrawing his candidacy. This
action is virtually made necessary by
Senator CATERS declination and the fail
ure to find any one willing to stand in his
stead and by the impracticability of per-
fecting an organization throughout the
country at this late period in the cam
paign. Those who have headed the move
ment, however. will endeavor to save it
from complete collapse by nominating one
Presidential elector in Massachusetts and

ARMED DEPUTIES POURING IN.
It Begins to Look War-Like in the Coal
fields.

Hazleton. Pa, Sept 21.-The Lehigh
region today seemed to concern itself
more about possibility of trouble than
any other one thing. Wherever one went
in this district the belief was general
that an outbreak will occur. This feel
ing was no doubt produced by the dis
turbances as Shenandoah and the Arrival
in HazIeton and on the north side OF
large numbers of deputies who are said
to be prepared for any emergency. 1t
was known that all the coal companies in
the district had increased the NUMBER
of vatchmen around their collieries, and
it was also known chat small number
of deputies had been distributed through
the south side by Sheriff Brislin, OF Car
bon county, but nothing much was thought
of this.
The deputies who arrived at Freeland,
twelve miles north Of here, during the
night from Wilkesbarre, are said to num-
Der about two hundred. They were dis
tributed along the public road between
Freeland and Jeddo. At noon carload
of them arrived in this city over the
Pennsylvania Railroad and later in the
day several squads of deputies came into
town. They are all being lodged in diff
ferent parts of the city.
There were fewer cases of violence to-
day than yesterday, when the mine work
crs in various parts of this section were
attacked on their way to and from work.
The presence of the increased number
of watchmen and deputies may account
for this improved condition.
