torial Division and Maintain the
Open Door PoIicy-An Appeal TO the
Powers to Support Them.
LONDON, Oct 2O.-Germany and Eng
land have formed an alliance to main
tain the territorial integrity of China
and to keep the ports open.
The terms of the agreement which
was arrived at Oct. 16 between Lord
Salisbury and Count Won Hatsfeldt,
German ambassador to England, are
officially given out as follows:
1.-The German government and her
majesty's government being DESTROYS to
maintain their interests in China and
their rights under existing treaties,
have agreed to observe the following
principles regarding mutual policy in
China:
IL. 1t is a matter of just permanent
international interest that the ports on
the rivers and literal of China had to
remain free and open to trade and to
every other legitimate form of economic
activity for the peoples of all countries
without distinction, and the two govern
ments agree on their part to uphold the
same for all Chinese territory SO far as
they can exercise influence.
80. Both governments agree that
they will not on their part make use of
the present complication to obtain for
themselves any territorial advantage in
the Chinese dominion and will direct
their policy toward maintaining undi-
minished the territorial condition of the
Chinese empire.
'3. In case of another power MAX
ing use of the complications in order to
obtain, under any form whatever, such
territorial advantages, the two contract
ing parties reserve to themselves the
right to come to an understanding re-
garding the eventual step to be taken
for the protection of their own interests
in China.
81. The two governments will COM
municate this agreement to the other
powers, Austria Hungary, France, Italy,
Japan, Russia and the United States
and invite them to accept the principles

ADVANCE MUST BE GENERAL
Will Be No Partial Resumption OF
Work In the Mines.

HAzELroN, Pa, Oct 20.-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
has practically admitted that if every
operator in the region were to post no
tees similar to those that are now being
tackled up by some of the mine owners
this action would in itself probably not
end the strike He was asked if all the
companies were to post such notices
what his next step would be. AT first
he hesitated and then replied:
"Under the conditions laid down by
the Scranton miners convention there
could be no partial resumption of work. !"
When it was suggested that his reply
did not answer the question he said:
"Well, all that will say is that If all
the ompanies post notices it would clear
up matters considerably. 1t would re-
move some of the obstacles that now
present themselves"
This is the first public statement that
Mr.. Mitchell has made bearing on set
Element of the contest since the opera
tors took their decided stand that the
powder reductions must be considered
in figuring out the advance in wages.
