THE CHINESE SITUATION.
The Emperor, Kwang Hsu, is Re-
ported to Have Arrived
at Sian-Fu.
TROUBLES OF COUNT Won WALDERsEE.
Tho German Press Beginning to Recognise
the Seriousness OF the Chinese Move
ments In the South-A Tribute to the
SoIdIsrly Conduct of Gen. Chafee at
Pekin.

Berlin, Oct. 1.-THE Frankfurter
Zeitung prints a telegram from
Shanghai which says that Emperor
kwang-Hsu has arrived at Sian-Fu.
The foreign office has no official in
formation of the whereabouts of the
Chinese court.
4 high official of the foreign Office,
discussing the general situation yes
terday afternoon, said:
There is absolutely nothing new H.
the diplomatic situation. We have re-
ceived no information as to the al
legged difficulties encountered by
Count Won Waldersee in getting all
the allies to recognize his authority,
but it lies in the very nature of the
last that he would meet with some
trouble in bringing them all under
one hat
No credence is given to the state
ment cabled from the United States,
by way of London, that Emperor
Kwarg-Hsu is going to Pekin under
American protection.
The German papers, which until
now, have been treating the reports
of increasing ferment in southern
China as exa%ggerations, have sudden.
ly changed their tone, recognizing the
seriousness of the movement there.
The recall of Marquis Ito to the
premiership of Japan attracts atten-
ton, since he has always represent
ed the idea of IN alliance between
Japan and China, and is known to be
friendly to China. The Krenz Zeitung
discusses the matter at considerable
length, going on the assumption thaS
he will resume his attempts to bring
about such an alliance. When an in
quiry was made at the foreign Office
regarding the probable effect of the
appointment, the officials replied that
there was nothing to do but to wait
and see.
Official reports say that a severe
tornado did great damage, on Sunday,
at Tsing-Tau, in the Province of Shan
Tung.

AN OLD RUMOR REVIVED.
The Marriage of the DOwager EN-
press Frederick, Last April,
Again Asserted.

Berlin, Oct. 1.-THE report that the
Dowager Empress Frederick was mar
ried, last April, to Baron Seckendorff,
who was hofmeister under Emperor
Frederick, although widely circulated
abroad, had always been strenuously
denied here until the present crisis in
her disease Now, however, it is be-
ing circulated and accepted, together
with n number of fresh details, such
as that the marriage occurred in Eng
land.
1t is thought that the principal
malady of the dowager empress is
cancer of the kidneys. According to
the latest bulletins she is somewhat
better, but a fatal result is generally
expected by the public.

Lansford, Pa, Oct. 17.-MOre than
1000 striking mine workers made a
descent upon the ten collieries of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co., in the
Panther Creek valley. They came to
this place by two separate roads. One
crowd shut up the N~esquehoning col

battalion of troops had been ordered
to the district, Monday night in an.
%ticipation of the march.
The March to h Valley.
The march on Panther Creek val
ley was on the strikers programme
for several days. The United Mine
Workers, ever since the strike started,
have been attempting to close the col
lieries of the Lehigh Coal and Naviga-
ton Co. in this region. Organizers
were constantly in the region, but, as
a rule, they did not meet with much
success, SO it was decided to use
stronger methods to get the men en-
ployed in the ten mines out on strike.
Accordingly it was arranged that a
big demonstration should be held in
the valley. 1t was to have been held
Monday morning, but owing to the
heavy rains and muddy roads it was
called off. Those who took part were
strikers from McAdoo, Yorktown,
Bunker Hill and Silver Brook, from the
south side of Hazleton, and the Free
land, Drifton, Jeddo and Beaver
Meadow strikers from the north side.
A contingent of ome and girls came
from McAdoo, which borough is the
only n in the Hazleton region
which has organized female march.

London, Oct. 16.-Dr. Morrison, in
the Times this morning, describes the
occupation Of Pekin and the demon
stration at the Forbidden City. In
connection with the latter incident he
emphasizes the ~self-denial of Gen.

says. proper recognition.

their way, driving the Chinese in

was then no agreement to hold Gen.
Chaffee back. He might have pressed

a fine prize, and the temptation must
have been great; but Gen. Chaffee,

advice, refrained. 1t was a note
