TOLSTOI IS A HERETO
NOTED NOVELIST eUTLAWED BY THE
HOLY SYNOD OF RUSSIA.
Text of the Circular of Excommuni-
cation-It Is Based on the Counts
Anti-Christian Teachings.

ST. PETERSBURG. March 9.-The official
organ of the Holy Synod to-day publishes
the formal accommodation of Count
Tolstoi. the Russian novelist and social
reformer, which was announced early in
the year as follows: In it's solicitude of
the children Of the orthodox church to
guard them from being led into corruption
and in order To save those who have gone
astray the Holy Synod has deiberated upon
the anti-Christian and anti-ecclesiastical
teachings OF Count Leo Tolstoi, and has
deemed it expedient, in order to preserve
the peace of the church, TO issue a circu-
lar dealing with the heresies OF Count Leo
Tolstoi."
The circular follows: Count Leo Tolstoi,
TO the grief and horror of the whole ortho-
dox world, has, by speech and writings un-
ceasingly striven to separate himself from
all communion with the orthodox church.
and this not only clandestinely, but openly,
and in the knowledge of all persons All
attempts to dissuade him from this conduct
have proved without avail. Consequently
the orthodox church no longer considers
him to be one of its members and cannot
regard him such long as he does not
repent and does not become reconciled to
the church. We, therefore, place on record
his apostacy from the church and pray the
Lord to restore him to comprehension of
the truth. We pray Thee, therefore. mer-
ciful God, who does not desire the death of
a sinner to hear us, have mercy on him.
and restore him to the holy church
Amen"
This was signed by Antonius, metropoli-
tan of st. Petersburg; Theognose, metro
politan of Kief; vladimir, metropolitan of
Moscow; Hieronymus, archbishop of Kolm
and Warsaw; Jakoff. bishop of Kirchineff;
Markal, bishop OF Boris.
Foreign papers a year ago printed an al
legged secret circular to a similar effect.

TO IGNORE THE UNION
ANTHRACITE OPERATORS WILL
DEAL DIRECTLY WITH EMPLOYEES.
They Voluntarily Post Notices Con-
tinuing the Present Scale of
Wages Until April 4, 1902.

PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-Anticipating
the convention of the United Mine Workers
cf America at Hazleton, Pa, next week,
coal operators throughout the anthracite
region to-day posted notices announcing
that the 10 per cent. advance in wages and
other concessions made TO the miners last
November would be continued until April
l, 1902, and that local differences would be
adjusted with the employees of the respec-
tive collieries. This action, it is under
stood was decided on week ago, and Il
is said to have been the result of a desire
On the part of operators to avoid a confer
ence with the miners.
Notices have been posted at all mines op-
Grated by the following companies: The
Reading Coal and Iron Company, the Le-
high Valley Coal Company, the Delaware
& Hudson, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
Delaware Lackawanna & Western, the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. the Penn
sylvania Coal Company, now controlled by
the Erie Railroad, and the Hillside Coal
Company. While the officials of the big
companies are reticent it is understood
they will positively decline to take part in
the miners convention. The request made
by President Mitchell. of the Mine Workers
Union, that the operators send representa-
tfves to the conference has thus far been for
the most part ignored. In one or two cases
q negative reply was sent. The operators
are said TO be anxious to avoid any action
that might be considered a recognition Of
the union. They have however, expressed
their willingness TO treat with their own
employees wnen there are any grievances to
be adjusted.
While the agreement to continue the ex-
listing scale appears to be unanimous. all
of the companies do not favor the idea.
An official of one of the largest coal carry
ing roads in the State to-day said that the
increased wage scale keeps the selling price
of coal too high, especially where anthra-
cite coal competes with the bituminous.
He said also that there is a big demand
for anthracite coal at present. and that the
high price can be maintained only so long
as the boom continues. In only one in
stance thus far have the miners openly ex-
pressed disapproval of the scale. The em-
ployes Of the Mineral Railroad and Min
ing Company, in the Shamokin region, say
they want a 6 per cent. advance, to place
them on the same basis as the Reading
miners.

NILES, Mich. March 9.-Great excitement

that Johnson is in Chicago suffering from a
complete mental collapse. All sorts of ru-
rnors are going around regarding the miss

alleged that johnson gambled. The direc-

graphed Washington that the bank is
closed and cashier gone" The city and

of the city withdrew their deposits during

BOTHA AND KITCHENER.
BOer Leader and British Commander
Arranging Terms of Surrender.

LONDON, March 10.-Advices from two
firm the press intelligence that Lord Kitch-
ener and General Botha have been in ne
gotiation, and that long step toward the
end of the war is looked for next week.
The War Office last night declined to con-
tribute anything to these great expecta
tions which include, according to some, the
making of formal submission by Botha
on Monday when his force will surrender
TO French Among the versions as TO what
is going on, there is one with some Of

REPLY TO SECRETARY HAY
BRITISH NOTE WILL BE DELIVERED
WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
Confirmation of the Report that
Botha, the Boer Leader, Is Seek
ing Terms of Surrender.

LONDON, March 9-The reply of the
British government to the note conveying
the amendments of the United States Sem
ate 10 the Hay-Pauncefote treaty should be
formally delivered by the British ambassa-
dor at Washington to Secretary Hay within
a few days. The Foreign Office here did
not originally contemplate delaying the
British reply until now. The plan appears
to have been to transmit the answer pre-
vious to the date at which the treaty
lapsed, which, according to the British
view of the case, would have put the
onus of its lapsing on the Senate. AS pre-
viously set forth in these dispatches. the
main object of the British government
throughout has been to make an entirely
new arrangement. At no stage of the pro-
ceedings has there been any inclination
to accept the Senates amendments.
1t is understood here that the nature of
the British governments reply has al
ready been informally communicated to
Secretary Hay. Great Britain has no inten-
tion of modifying or abrogating the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty without a satisfactory
quid pro quo That treaty. according to
the Foreign Office view of the case, remains
as much in force now as the day ii was
signed. The speeches made in the SEN
ate do not disturb Downing street. They
are dismissed with the remark that treaties
cannot be abrogated without the consent
OF both the contracting parties" There is,
however. an apparently genuine belief here
that a satisfactory arrangement will event.
ually be arrived at. though it was scarce
ly thought 1T could be got into the requisite
shape in time for discussion at the extra
session OF the Senate. Moreover, there is a
freely expressed disinclination on the part
of the British officials to commit them
selves to any further treaties until they are
thoroughly assured of the views the Senate
holds on the matter in question.
