buried themselves in the ground. He
then shot himself in the mouth His
right hand, still clutching the weapon

mer Chinese Minister.

San Francisco. Nov. 26.-Several hun
bred business mer. representing all the
commercial bodies of this city, have
rendered a reception to WI Ting Fang,
the retiring minister from China. In
response to an address Mr.. WI said:
There is a great market in the
Orient for Won. China has stood still
for centuries but it door is now open
to foreign commerce and 1t is for you
to develop your trade. In dealing with
my countrymen. you must not adhere
to the hard and fast ties in vogue
over here When we Chinese make Il
promise our word is just as good as an
others bond Therefore | beg to Sug-
gest that when a merchant in China
gives you an order you accept his
word. He always will keep it. The
friendship thus formed will be a per-
manent one. The first transaction with
a Chinese merchant is very important.
"UpOn the subject of Chinese imnli-

| must impress upon you that il you
desire to increase your trade 10 fold
do not exclude our merchants, travel
lers or students from this county, for
they can and will do immense good to
you. China is vast country and.
while she is making extensive reforms,
il is very difficult to induce innova-
tons. | beg of you, therefore, not to
be too sanguine. nor to count too much
upon my ability to bring about an in
crease OF trade with your country,

"UP OPERATORS"
Conference of Mine Owners and
Miners a Failure.
Action Of Independent Operators Evil
IDENTIFY a Powerful Factor.
Now Look for Strike Commission to
Continue Hearing.

Washington, Nov. 26.-All prospects
for an understanding between the
United Mine Workers and the coal
operators, outside the anthracite coal
strike commission, came to a sudden
termination late Tuesday after
noon, through the receipt of a
dispatch to Mr.. Wayne MacFeagh,
representing the Pennsylvania Coal Co.
and the Hillside Coal and Iron Co,
notifying him that at meeting OF the
anthracite coal road men in New York.
today, it had been decided not to grant
an interview to Mr.. Mitchell and his
associates, which had been suggested
for Friday, next.
The announcement, coming as 1t dld
after an all days conference in this
city between Mr.. MacVeagh and Mr..
Mitchell and his associates. attended
part of the time by Carroll ID. wright
in an endeavor to adjust some details
of the proposed agreement between the
operators and the miners, completely
surprised every one here.
From n reliable source it is learned
that the proposition that the operators
meet Mr.. Mitchell on Friday next, was
made at the instance of Mr. MacNeagh,
who was no less surprised than MI.
Mitchell himself at the turn affairs
took, today.
From statements made by Mr.. OAR
row early in the day the impression
mad spread that complete agreement
would be affected at today's confer
ence but when the meeting broke up.
Mr.. barrow read TO the newspaper men
in the corridor outside his room in Will
lards hotel n statement which made 1t
clear that no final agreement had been
reached and that no further confer
ences were likely.
Mr.. Mitchell. when shown the dis
patch from New York, telling Of the
action of the operators, said that he
had not asked for the conference.
Mr.. barrow and Mr.. Lloyd, how
ever, were outspoken regarding the
action of the operators. Mr.. barrow
said that it was now up to TO the
operators" and that he would return al
once to Scranton and on Tuesday next
would appear before the commission
ready to go on with the nearing. Mr.
Lloyd referred to the fact that Friday
conference had been suggested IN or
der TO adjust some matters on which
there was still some disagreement.
Yet" said Mr.. Lloyd, these same
men, who only last week wired the
commission their assent to the genera
provisions of the tentative agreement
and upon the strength of which the
commission adjourned for Week IL
order to give the parties time TO ge
together, now go completely back OF
their former action and cali il off. W.
are satisfied to go before the commits
sion and continue the hearing"
Messrs. Mitchell, barrow and Lloyt
left here at $50 o'clock. over the Penn
s,lyania road for Scranton.

A reception was then rendered them
nv the Board of Trade in the Nendom
after which luncheon was served.
The report of the committee on COM
merce. was devoted almost entirely to
the matter of Canadian reciprocity.
The Board passed the following:
Resolved that the Massachusetts State
Board of Trade respectfully petition the
President and Congress of the United
States that such steps as are necessary
be taken either by reconvening the Unit
ed State and British joint high commits
sion Cor by such other methods as may
be deemed eXpedienD to prepare an agree
ment between the United States and Can
ada on the basis of equitable concessions
and a reciprocal trade, which may be
brought before Congress for its approval
at the next session.
The following was introduced and re-
ferred to the executive council for future
action:
Resolved. that the members of the
Massachusetts State Board of Trade be-
lieve that the pending reciprocity treaty
between the United States and New
Foundland would be of great value to the
country and especially to our own state.
We urge our senators to secure the ratl-
iication of the same.
We reiterate the resolution which we
passed by a nearly unanimous vote, last
year in favor of reciprocity treaty Wltn
Canada, which is the largest customer
per capita which this country has. The
said trade would be greatly increased l!
someequitable reciprocity treaty could be
entered into, and will certainly be greatly
decreased without same.

FORMALLY PROTESTED.
English Federation Not In Favor Of
American Plan of High Wages.

London. Nov 26.-The American plan Of
paying good wages and encouraging EN-
ployes to increase the daily output, which
was introduced by the manager of the
American electrical works at Manches-
ter, has been formally protested by the
employers federation of that district. Tie
latter claim that the labor market is be-
ing demoraliZed and their works drained
of their best men by the American Off
Gals, who pay their laborers II cents an
hour against nine cents paid by the Brit
ish employers and get double the amount
of work accomplished. The Americans
intend to ignore the protest. They say
the British workman is capable enough,
but he is demoraliZed by low wages and
the domineering of the English foremen,
against whom they have no redress. The
British employers blacklist the men their
foremen discharge and are attempting to
prevent the American concern from EN-
ploying them. The Americans, however,
propose to stand aloof from the employ
ers federation and carry on their works
in their own way.
