 VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 22.-Advices have been received from south China that the KWangsi rebels have invaded KWeichow province, proclaiming their object to rayage KWeichoW province, but, as their placards put it, only to borrow a passage to Szechuen, Whither they are bound to assist the Boxers of that province. They invaded Hsingyih- sien, in KWeichow, which fell into their hands, and many of the villagers, who had held out for eight days, were slaughtered.

It Is Expected Strikers and Operators
 Will Now Come to an Agreement
 Scranton, Pa, Nov 22.-The proposi- ton to have the anthracite mine work CTS and their employers try to come to an agreement without the direct aid of the anthracite coal strike 5commis- sion, which became publicly known yesterday. remains in the same indef- nite form it was i'll when the develop ment first became known Both sides waited for the commission to adjourn, and as such action was taken by the commissioners to-day it is probable that conferences will be held early next week. Where these meetings will be held has not yet been decided upon, nor Is 1t known who on each side will conduct the negotiations.
 While most of those interested ex- press the belief that the two parties will beable to agree among themselves, there are some who can see no good in the new move. It seems almost cer- tain that the miners will stand out strongly for 8 contract with the United Mine Workers of America instead of yearly contracts and conferences be- tween each company and the men it directly employs, as proposed by the operators. On two of the other de- mands. increase in wages and short CT work day. compromise, it is thought, can readily be made
 The commission adjourned to-day un- til December 3, and most of the com and out of town attorneys left for their homes.

TO APPEAL FROM THE GEAR. Peasants in Two Villages in Unusual
 Turmoil.

St Petersburg, Thursday, Nov G.
 An odd instance of new ideas among i the peasants,is reported from the gov. ernment of Taurida. Two villages
 went to law over a question of boun. daries. The defeated village Chorni- goVka, ill the district of Berdiansk after having vainly appealed to the senate, petftioned the ear personally l The petition was denied. Shortly ] afterwards a governmental officer found the village ill unusual turmoil
 He asked what was the matter l We have met to take steps to ap- peal from the czar,'' the village elders replied.
 How can you appeal against the czarF. the astonished officer asked There is nothing higher than the czar except God"
 Yes there is,' they eagerly answer 1 ed, sthere is a new court which the c2ar himself set up."
 In proof of their assertion they pro- duced an old we'll thumbed copy of of the Bourse Gazette containing an account Of the Hague arbitration trio unal ' -,

 St Petersburg, Saturday, Nov s. Russian merchants express strong de- sire to participate in the St Louis ex- position. They believe that the Amer lean market can be interested in a number of lines of Russian products and are willing to do their part tow ards making successful Russian sec t1on. Finance Minister Witte has heretofore agreed only to send a, Siber- ian section. The interested merchants think that if Suitable steps are taken he can be prevailed upon to provide for Russian section besides. Am bassador Tower has done all in his power in the matter. He found tile Russian authorities anxious to culti- vate close relatSSSs with the United States, but inclined to believe it would not pay to participate NJ. Witte's long absence prevented Mir Tower from again urging the interests of the exposition. A number of merchants WHO nave cdlleut upon the c0rreSpOnd- ent of the Associated Press to urge united action on both sides say that it is not yet too late. They also suggest that it might assist matters if Ameri- can concerns which have large Russian interests would write either to NJ. Witte or to private persons here prom ising reciprocation on their part in case Russia should decide to hold an international exposition within the next few years.

BANDITS HOLD UP A TRAIN. Supposition Is That They Got a
 Pretty Big Haul.

Used Dynamite on the Safe-Engi- ; neer Was Compelled to Run His
 Train Up the Line It is Said That
 There Were 12 or 15 Bandits in the
 Gang No CleW Up to the Present
 Time.
 Davenport, Ia, Nov Bandits sue cessfully held up the West-bound ex- press on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road at 1l:3O o'clock last night three miles west of this city. They cut off the express and baggage ears, forced the engineer to run two miles up the line, blew up the through eA- press safe with dynamite and escaped with their booty. The amount Ob- tained is not known. but as this train generally carries a heavy shipment it is presumed the sum was considerable.
 At daylight no definite cleW to the robbers had been obtained, but the po- lice forces of Davenport, Moline and Rock Island, together with corps of railroad detectives. were on the trail.
 There were twelve or fifteen ill the gang. The robbery evidently had been carefully planned. The train, which was due to leave here at 10:3S D. m., was thirty-five minutes late and pulled out for the west after short halt It had just passed through the suburban village of Rockingham, on the outskirts of the Rock Island railroad yards, when the engineer saw a red lantern on the track and brought his train4to a stop.
 As he slowed down two masked men sprang on the footboard of the engine and covered the men in the cab. Mean time others of the gang menaced the crew and passengers in the coaches.
 One of the bandits quickly uncoupled thS express and baggage cars from to pull out. Two miles west of Rock ingham there is stretch of heavily timbered country. Here the engineer was ordered to stop. The bandits i'm mediately attacked the through safe with dynamite, using an extremely heavy charge. The noise of the ex- plosion was heard in Davenport. Hay ing completed their work and slowed away the booty, the robbers again mounted the engine and rode on to Buffalo, a small station, where they dismounted and vanished in the dark ness.
 A f1agman came back from the train to the yards to notify the officials. Posses were at once organized for the chase,
 The train was the fast west-bound express. which left Chicago at COS last night .and which runs through to Fort Worth, Texas, via St Joseph and Kansas City.

New Haven, Nov 22.-With equal
 confidence of victory in to-day's great football contest to decide the champion
 ship of the east, the men of both the
 YaIe and the Harvard teams arose early this morning to await with eager anticipation the hour of departure TOT , the field of battle. The bright sunlight of a clear November day. someWhat warmer than coaches and trainers naa hoped for but scarcely as depresslhg g as previous days of the week, greeted the players. Cold crisp weather, cal culated to put an extra touch or snap and animation into the gr1dlron war riors. was the sort that had been wished for. and the thermometer read ing of 50 at 8 o'clock this morning was viewed with some dissatisfaction by the coaches. It was feared that the hard gruelling work of the afternoon would have a serious effect upon the players of both teams. A light south west wind prevailed at an early hour, but the local weather bureau officials predicted that it would veer to the southeast later and that the afternoon sky would be overcast with clouds. The Harvard men at the Pequot club house had perhaps the advantage as far as morning weather conditions were concerned, for cool breeze from the Sound blew around their Morris Cove quarters. Their morning prac- tice was limited to light signal work on the lawn in front of the club house. after which they strolled about the shore and remained at ease until they were called together for light lunch previous to donning their foot ball togs for the game. s- The Yale team slept last night at the Yale infirmary. where they were re- moved from the noise which prevailed about the campus, and they awoke this morning in good condition for the con test. The trainers of both teams pro- nounced all the men in first class shape.
 New Ravens streets were thronged all the forenoon with football visitors, and the crowd increased to a multi tude as the noon hour approached. Iwenty-three special trains were scheduled to arrive before 1 o'clock. while regular trains from New York and Boston also brought great num- bers of people. It was estimated that at least 2S,000 people would see the game. and the late rush for seats indi- cated that many more wou;S eppIy for admission and be disappointed in their hope of securing places No such de mand for seats was ever before known at game in this city. Speculators who had managed to secure a few tickets in spite of the stringent Dre- cautions taken by the football associ- ation' management, did a rushing busi- ness. the ruling quotation for the best seats being S1O this morning.
 Nearly all the visitors displayed the colors of the rival universities in the form of flags or ribbons, while the streets most frequented by the morning promenaders were also decorated lib erally with the blue. and crimson, the former color predominating in stream CTS. banners, bunting and flags
 It was announced that the following would serve as officials of the game: Umpire. Paul A. Dashie1l of Annap- olis: referee, Matthew A. McCIung of Lehigh; timekeeper, J. c. 8IcCracken of Pennsylvania: linesmen, Talcott B. Hull of New Haven and Norman Cab ot of Harvard.
