key, were blockaded by the English,
French and Russian squadrons.
When Formosa was blockaded by
France in 1884, the blockade was intend
ed to include neutral vessels as liable to
capture and condemnation notwl .hstand-
ing that France had not assumed the at
titude of belligerent. This position
was assumed because France decided to
concentrate coal at Hongkong. England
refused on this occasion to admit that
under the circumstances France had the
rlght to capture and condemn neutrals.
In 1897 when the European powers
iblockaded Crete. the ships of neutrals
were allowed to enter and discharge car
goes provided they were not intended
for the use of Greek troops in the in
terror.
Previous to that in 1887 the institute
De Droot International adopted a dec
laration'to the effect that pacific block
ade was only permissible. on condition
that vessels under foreign flags could
freely enter blockaded ports and that
vessels of the offending nation which
might be sequestered when the BLOCK
ade ceased should be restored to their
owners without compensat ton.
The United States resorted to the ex-
'pedient. of the pacific blockade three days
prior to the declaration Of war with
spain, when, by executive order, certain
OF the Cuban ports were blockaded.
IF the report from St. Petersburg
should prove to be correct, the SUPPOSE
tion is that, as it is based on he alleged
activity of the Chinese fleet, the block
ade would be directed against Chinese
ports where there are naval stores dry
docks or coaling stations. There are but
six of these ports on the Chinese coast
not within the spheres of foreign. pow
ers,' namely Niu Chwang, where there
is mud dock; Taku and Tien Tsin,
where there are Chinese government
docks and yards: Shanghai, Foo Chow,
Annoy and Whanpoa, where there is a
granite dock owned by the Chinese gov
ernment.

TO OFFER AN ADVANCE.
But Defer Until the Future Complete
Settlement.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Nothing could be
learned at the New York offices of the
various anthracite coal railroads today
to indicate that the miners strike was
any nearer settlement than it was yes
terday.
President Truesdale of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, who said yes
terday that negotiations for ending the
strike were in progress, said today that
he had nothing whatever to give out con-
cerning the situation.
John Markle, one of the most promi-
nent of the independent operators. ar
rived here today from Hazelton. It is
said that his object is to take part in a
conference of operators to be held at the
office of J. 2. Morgan & Co.
At the Morgan banking house 1t was
denied that meeting of Independent
mine owners was to be held there. No
member of the firm was willing to be
quoted on any phase of the strike stu
alton today.
According to Wall street news
agency, a move is on foot to have the
men go to work at advanced wages at
the various mines without a formal set
tlement of the entire strike.

1orts ON the part of the coal-carryine
companies and other interests to end the
strike, but on this subject he Will not
say word.
Everything is very quiet here I'D TO
noon and the apparent improved feeling
an over the country regarding the set

GREAT FALLS FUSION.
Bank Democrats Take in the Little
Fellows.

Great Falls, Sept. 27.-After we'll
arranged plan, the bank democrats have
carried off the lions share of the fusion
ticket put up by the populists, the labor
party and the democrats. The democrats
get two legislators, district judge. sheriff,
clerk and recorder, treasurer, county at
torney, superintendent of schools, sur
veyor and one county commissioner. The
ropulists were satisfied with the appor-
ticnment of one joint legislator, one leg
isletor, one county commissioners, clerk
OF court, auditor, public administrator,
one justice of the peace and one con-
stable, while the labor party fell in the
rear with the promise of one legislator.
one joint legislator, one justi :e Of the
pc ace, one county commissioner, coroner,
assessor and one constable.
The same old platform was adopted,
with a few local issues, such as IL new
rcur. house, and views with alarm and
holy forror the various successes, past
and prospective, of the republican party.
The platform was democratic through
out, adopted in their convention before
the fusion issue was sprung, but it is
likely that the other parties will fall in
along much the same lines.
The labor party have put up T. F.
Richardson of Great Falls as their can
didate for the legislature, and M. Con-
nor of Neihart is the populist and labor
Joint candidate. The populists NOM
mated S. r. Jensen for the legislature,
Sam Moore for clerk Of the court, and
John Carr for auditor.
The jubilant democrats are having q
hard time to take care of their large
portion of the pie, but have so far sue
ceeded- in nominating George r. Wood
and r. p. Thoroughman for the legisla,-
ture. Judge Leslie for judge of the dis
trict court, H. E. Benner for sheriff. A.
c. Gormley for prosecuting attorney,
and A. F. Wadsworth for treasurer.
All that is left is to succeed In electing
the hybrid ticket.

vidual operators the basis on which the
strike OF the coal miners may be settled.

cessions. The meeting is secret and no
positive information is obtainable.
