FOREIGNERS NOW IN fAvoR.
poxaasr Empress Of China TO Change
EXISTING Conditions.

Pekin. Oct 13.-The numerous recep-
tipns Of foreigners given by the dow
aSser empress recently, including that
scf the ladies belonging to the various
legations, and the extensive I,renasfl- :
tions that are being made for the en-
tertainment Of the diplomats on Sat
urday next show the enthusiastic ma
ture OF the thrones intercourse with
the representatives Of the western world
now In China.
The dowageri recently instructed the
departing Chinese ministers concerning
the importance Of having better lega-
stions. She said that had the throne
known foreign ladies, which the Tsung
III Yanen formerly prevented, the trou-
bies OF 1900 would not have occurred.
This statement apparently directly es-
tablishes the responsibility Of the
throne for the Boxer troubles, but the
present attitude of the dowager shows
that it Il her intention to inaugurate a
new condition of affairs in Chinese re-
4 lations with foreigners. Mrs. Conger.
wife Of the American minister, receives
much credit for the present friendly re-
lations between the throne and foreign
ers.

one of the sweetest tenor voices ever
heard His voice is wholly uncultured,

Meeting Of the Coal Presidents
In New York Today Promises
Much
SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT MADE
President TruesdaIe States That Action
May Be Taken Today Which Will
Result in Immediate Resumption of
Mining Of Coal in the Anthracite
Regions.

New York, Oct. 13.-A conference of
! the representatives of the coal carry
ing railroads held here today, result of
which may, according to one of those
present, be a definite step towards set
tlement of the coal strike. The con-
ference was held at the Office of E. B..
Thomas, chairman of the board OF di-
rectors of the Erie Railroad and was
participated in by President Olyphant,
Vice President Wilcox, Of the Delaware
and Hudson; President Fowler, of the
Ontario & Western; President Trues-
dale, Of the I4ackawanna; President
Walter. OF the Lehigh Valley, and In
dependent Operator John Markle. As
Truesdale entered Thomas Office he
said in reply to a question: "Yes con-
ference is to be held and 1t will be an
important one. 1t may be productive
Of immediate results on the situad-
ton"
Significance is attached to T-ues-
dales words, in view of the fact that
until today, he has steadfastly adhered
to the statement that no step in the di-
rection OF a settlement had been
reached. The other operators at to-
days meeting declined to talk. 1t is
learned today that President Baer, who
spent yesterday in this city, was in
close conference probably with ]. p.
Morgan over the strike. What was the
outcome Of the supposed conference is
a matter of guess work Morgan left
his yacht Corsica. on which he has
been since Saturday early today and
went directly to his office. The con-
ference lasted about an hour, but all
the participants refused to say any
thing about what had taken place. II
x,. ..4, .,g !. .fept- tTeaf 1,e.,-r--
ference was informal and intimated
that later in the day statement might
be issued.
The conference in Thomas office
lasted little more than an hour. When
the participants dispersed they de-
clined to make any statement as to
what had transpired.
Late this afternoon it was stated
at the Office of the chairman there
was no announcement to be made in
regard to the conference of coal oper
ators today, Notwithstanding the in
timation earlier that a statement might

LAKE TRAFFIC COMBINE.
Merger Of Large Concerns Engaged in

Duluth, Minn Oct. 13-1t is definite
ly learned here that Captain w. H.
Singer, president of the Lake Michigan
land Lake Superior Transportation
company, is at work trying to bring
about a merger of the freight and pas
senger lines Of the great lakes. 1t is
also learned that eastern capital stands
ready to finance the deal when the
plan has been worked out. The only
thing that would appear at this time
to defeat the deal would be the placing
of too high valuations on vessel prop
|erty by owners. Rates will not be in
creased under the merger. The idea
is to maintain tariffs. The merger may
not include all the freight and passen-
ger lines, but will to as great an ex-
tent as possible.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13.-The man hunt

seemingly distanced their pursterl.i
The heavy rain which fell all. last

At Burlington headquarters the etAte..
ment was made tonight that not an

Some of the Lincoln policemen are OF
the opinion that the robbers are either
in hiding in this city or not far from
here. What strengthens this belief iSs
the fact that last night three horses
were stolen at the town OF Raymond,
not far from the scene of the hold-up.s

this place and abandoned. A house
near Raymond is declared tOSbe ren-

Nothing further Is known as to the
amount secured in the express safe

This was the third and most suc-
