RUSSIA QUITS
The CONCERT

st. Petersburg, Oct 16.-The Russian
government permits it to become
known that its attitude in China win
be increasing independence of the con-
cert of the powers
Russia, it is explained, is disposed TO
attach less value TO joint action since
her interests have been fully secured
by the successful campaign in Manchu-
ria. Moreover, Russia is not willing to
follow the irreconcilable policy Of
some of the powers
The expectation is that the Chinese
government is about to utilize all its
resources of diplomacy to keep the
powers occupied with vain negotiations
and proposals and the dispatching of
notes in order to gain time until the
winter, counting on the rigor of the
climate to prevent military operations
and allow China to prepare her re-
sources for a spring campaign.

Washington, Oct. discrimination
has been received here of the execu-
ton July 20 of Chang Yen Hoon, the
former Chinese minister to the United

OF the emperor and a warm supporter

Near.

New York, Oct. 16-LOcaI coal dealers
say that the great strike is fast nearing
an end and that the miners will 90 back

the big coal carrying roads say little to
confirm such an opinion. but one of them
after being. pressed for his own views
intimated that there would be a settle

responsibility on President Mitchell. say
ing that he has not yet informed them
of the results of the Scranton conven-
ton.
Many rumOrs have been in the air. One
story was that gigantic coal strike was
planned for next April, in which both an
thracite and bituminouS coal miners would
combine for still higher wages. The hinge
upon which the story turned was the res
oiuuon that the wage schedule as de-
manded by the miners was only TO obtain
until next April, at which time the agree
merit between, the several coal mine Ope-
ratOrs and their employees will terminate.
1t is said that should the miners in both
hard and soft coal mines unite in declar-
