COMPLIED WITH DEMANDS.
China Su;psnds Examinations for Period Of
Five Years.

New York, July ia dispatch
from Washington to the Herald says:
China has formally complied with
the demands of the powers that she
Suspend for five years all official ex-
aminations in all the cities where
foreigners have been massacred or
have been subject to cruel treat
ment," but she has done it in such
way as to rob the suspension of the
punitive character desired by the
foreign governments. The emperor
has issued an edict suspending the
examinations not only in the guilty
districts, but throughout the entire
country for a period of five years.
Instead OF announcing that this is the
result of the i'll treatment of foreign
ers, the edict explains that the en-
peror desires to give the students in
every province an opportunity for an
entirely new and modern system of
examination.
The United States has not agreed
to the action looking to the advisa-
bliity of the foreign ministers in Pc

ment be administered in those dis
tricts in which foreigners were out
ragged. This government is anxious
that the powers should retire from
China as promptly as possible. While
China has in the matter of examina-
tions turned difficulty. it is pointed
out that the Others terms demanded
are exceedingly rigorous. and it will
be difficult for the imperial govern
ment to comply with them and at the
same time preserve its prestige at
home.

STRIKE OF MINE FiREMEN.
Threw 10000 Men In Anthracite Region Out
Of Work.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 18.-The
strike order of President Mulcahey,
OF the Stationary Firemen's associa-
tion of Pennsylvania, was promptly
obeyed at Z o'clock this morning,
when 900 members of the organiza-
tion in this state refused to 60 to
work. Most of the strikers are en-
ployed as firemen ut the coal mines,
and their failure to report for duty
caused nearly all the collieries in the
anthracite region to suspend opera
tions, throwing out of work. it is esti-
mated, 1000 men and boys. Some
of the individual coal operators con-
coded the demands of the employees
on the condition that the short-hour
day was not to hold if the men en-
ployed by the big companies did not
get the same concession. The big
coal companies, however, did not
make any concessions. The officials
claimed that the demands of the men
were unreasonable.
The strikers held a meeting in this
city shortly before noon. Reports
were received from all districts, and
they showed that the strike from
Pittston to Shickshinney, in Luzerne
county was general, and that the coal
companies were unable to secure new
men to take the places of the strik-
ers. The best they could do, it was
said, was to press foremen and fire
bosses into the service. This was
done at a great many of the mines.
The strikers claim that the engineers
are friendly to them and that they
will not work with non union men.
At the headquarters of the oper-
ators it was claimed that the demand
of the strikers would not be enter
tanned. The duration of the strike
will depend on the miners. If they
stand by the striking firemen the
lockout may be long one, but if the
miners return to work as soon as the
companies fill the places of the strik.

workers and the fremen. The miners
think that the strike is inopportune
and that the fremen should have
waited until April next, when the
present agreement between the oper-
ators and miners will expire, before
making their demands.

THE QUELPART UPRISING.
Il May Lead to Foreign vention-Naessrs.
Conger and Rockhill Congratulated.


Washington, July 18.-Full mail
reports that reach Washington re-
specting the recent uprising on the
Corean island of Quelpart say that it
is not improbable that the appearance
on the scene of the trouble of two
French gunboats and one Japanese
warship may lead to foreign interview
ton. If the islanders persist in their
rebellious attitude it will be difficult
for the Corean government to put it
down without foreign assistance. The
French minister at Seoul reports that
the employment of native Catholics
to collect exhorbitant taxes caused
the natives to prosecute their breth-
rem.
1t is now apparent from reports
which have reached the state depart
ment from China that it was solely
due to the moderation and humanity
exercised by the United States repre-
sentatives in Pekin by the presidents
direction in the early negotiations for
a settlement of the Boxer trouble that
a number of innocent lives were not
sacrificed. These reports show that Il
more sober and painstaking inquiry
has developed the fact that some OF
the Chinese officials supposed to have
been connected with the Boxer out
RACES, whose capital punishment was
demanded by the foreign ministers,
have been proved to be entirely in
nocent OF the charges made against
them. In many other cases proof has
been adduced that the offenses with
which the Chinese officials were
charged were not nearly so grave as
was supposed at first by the foreign
representatives in Pekin. 1t is re-
garded here by officials as matter
for congratulation that Messrs. Con-
ger and Rockhill moved with delibH-
alton and acted as a restraining intlu-
ence in the matter of punishment, for
not only were these lives saved, but,
under their influence, the whole list
of capital punishments was reduced
from 10 to four, and mitigation Of
other offenses was obtained.

Wichita, Kan, July Is. - The
packing plant Of Jacob Dold & Sons,
of this city, was totally destroyed by
fire this morning. There were four
large buildings. 1t is estimated that
1000, 600 pounds of meat in process
of preparation were destroyed. The

ance about $4,000 One wall fell,
injuring four men, but not fatally.
