Franco German Force Starts

General Bailloud
The Franco. German forces available
for the expedition number 5000 men.
The greatest secrecy is maintained as to

posed to take possession of another of
the Ansoling passes in Shan ST, where
Chinese troops under General Lu are
reported.
Members of the diplomatic corps with
out exception are mysti1ed at this re.
vival of military activity.
Viceroy Ii Hung Chang sent a courier
to General Lu, calling on him to avoid
a meeting, if necessary, by retiring
from his position, which is incontesti-
bly, Chinese; but the viceroy is not con-
tident that the general will obey orders
unless sanction comes from Shan Flu,
which he is endeavoring to secure.
There is apparently no military or po-
litlcal reason for this advance.

LABOR TROUBLE in FRANCE
General Strike of Coal Miners and
Others Planned.

WASHINGTON, April IA strike by
the coal miners of France has been
planned, to include all the miners in
the country, and is scheduled to take
place about the end of the coming June,
unless terms are agreed upon before
that date. This latter eventuality is
not expected, according to United States
Consul Brunot, at st. Etienne, in O re-
port to the state department There Is
likelihood, too, that other trades will
join the strike, says Consul Brunot,
for lronwopk kers, furnace men and ma
chinists realize that the scarcity of fuel
caused by strike of the miners would
also throw them out of employment.
The silk and velvet ribbon weavers are
discussing the propriety of striking at
the same time.
During the past winter the retail
price of coal was so high that the gov.
ernment was appealed to for a reduc-
tlon of the duties on foreign coal, but
this appeal was not granted. However,
says Consul Brunot, should the domes-
tic supply be further ourtailed and the
prices advanced by reason of another
strike, it is not improbable that upon
the renewal of demands the government
will take measures to facilitate the i'm
portation of coal by reducing duties and
railway freight rates.
