Against Russia Confirmed by Pekin
 News

London, September H.-4 a. m)-Such Pekin dispatches as appear this morning tend to confirm the suspicious regarding the attitude of Russia already expressed by Dr. Morrison, the correspondent of the Times at the Chinese capital
 The Pekin correspondent of the Daily Express writing September 19, asserts that the Russian troops are not leaving
 British headquarters, he adds, had been Informed that the Russians had left but the statement was untrue, the fact being that the Russians have been reinforced and made a claim for more extended quar- ters in Pekin.
 The Daily News prints a telegram al- most identical with the advices to the Daily Express from Pekin, but adding that, in the opinion of the correspondent, the Rus siars only desire to induce the other pow CTS to withdraw
 The morning Posts Pekin correspondent, writing September IS, expresses the same opinion. He declares that M. DeGiers will not go unless the other ministers go also The Russian legation, he asserts, has prepared to go but reversed its inten- ton pending further instructions. This delay, he thinks due in all probability to the non-departure of the other legations. General Chaffee," continues this corre-
 
 rice to the poor. This plan is a good one, but its application is somewhat premature. What chiefly Is needed is security of trade, that the necessities may be secured.
 The American commander has expressed his disapproval of further expeditions against the Boxers. The indecision exhib- tted in this respect is shameful. No set clement is possible until the Boxers and their official accomplices are vanquished. Numerous schemes are on foot for catch ing the Boxer leaders, but the task is very difficult, as they always keep out of the way"
 date of September F, confirms the report that M. de Giers has indefinitely postponed his departure, and announces that col umn of Americans started that day to res- cue Christians at Shun Hsien, twenty miles northeast of Pekin. He reports that the British Hong Kong regiment has left the Capitol and that the Chinese have oc- cupied Hafang Tsun, the railway station next to Feng Tai, where they will immedi- ately begin the reconstruction of the line in conjunction with the British.
 The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Daily Mail, referring to the attack on the Pei Tung and Lu Tai forts, already captured by the allies after heavy losses, according to advices received at Berlin, says;
 "The surrender of the forts was demand of immediate attack by the Germans and Russians in the event of refusal"

At Scranton

Scranton, Pa, September 2o.-Scranton- ians, strange to relate are the first to expe- rience hardships as result of a scarcity of boal. The men at the Columbus washery, out of sympathy for the strike movement refuse to prepare any culm except for the electric light plant, of which the washery Is part, and this compels the trolley con- pany to use inwashed culm just 1t comes from the refuse heaps. Fifty per cent of this Is incombustible and consequently 1t Is extremely difficult to make steam. As result all the heavy cars were taken off the lines throughout the city and valley, and the smaller ones, damned to the dashboards, were able to barely creep when ascending grades. Trips that ordinarily require twen- ty minutes could not be made in better time than one hour on runs having heavy grades
 The Pennsylvania Coal Company issued statement showing by a result of It's comp troller's report that the average wages of the miners and laborers in all of their twen- ty-six collieries for August was respectively $260 and s1.67 per day, and that twenty days were worked. What is very likely the movement the operators are said to be con- sidering as a means of striking back at the strikers Is the expanding of the tackawana Miners Union, an independent organization Of Delaware, Lackawana and Western miners, and the using of this body as lever to crystalize the anti-strike senti- ment, which the operators accordingly be- lieve with a majority of the men in the Lackawana region.

Hazleton. Pa, September 2O.-The strike officials still at work getting the men out and say they will not cease their ao. tivity in that respect until every operation in the anthracite region is tied up. The operatives, though badly crippled, are to. day as confident of success as they have heretofore been.
 The report of the superintendent of the Hazleton division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, which handles the coal from all but six coineries In this region, shows that the shipments have fallen off to less than two-thirds of the normal quantity during the past four days.
 There Is no denying the fact that the in. habitants of this region fear trouble. There are very few persons who do not believe that there will be an outbreak somewhere in tine region. Most, if not all of the coal miners, are being protected by extra watch men. Rumors are afoat that the Sheriffs of Luzerne, Schuylkill and Sharborn Coun- ties are swearing in deputies by the score.

EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.


Colima, Mex, Jan. 22.-An earth
quake shock began here at Has Fri
day night and assumed serious proper
tons at Tenimata, many houses being
badly injured and some of light con-
struction were wrecked. There was
great CONSERVATION and people rushed
into the streets, some barely escaping
with their lives. Seven people were
killed outright and 60 were wounded
and are being cared for by local sur
geons. 1t was reported that the vol
cano had burst into eruption, but it
now appears that the phenomenon
was confined to subterranean mani
festations. Local scientific men believe
that the earth travelled from under
the Pacific ocean and that when news
reaches here from the coast there
will be interesting details. The gov.
ernor of this state has appointed a
commission to. inspect the churches
and public edifices, while owners of
houses injured in the earthquake will
be compelled to put them in condition
of security. Much damage was re-
ported in other cities through the
earthquake.
