THE NEW WHITE HOUSE
SENATOR CULLOM THE ONLY PUB
Lie MAN WHO CALLED.
Much Business Will Be Transacted
There Even Though the President
is at Oyster Bay.

Everything was exceedingly quiet about
the temporary white house on Jackson
place today. Senator Cullom Of Illinois
called during the forenoon to leave some
papers that will be brought to the atten-
tion of the President at oyster Bay. He
was the only man in public life that called
during the day.
The white house was to all intents and
purposes closed yesterday, although AS
sstant Secretary Barnes was at his desk
the greater part of the working day.
The usual force Of ushers and messen-
gers. with the exception of those who ac-
companied the President and Secretary
CortelyOu on the trip to Pittsburg and
Oyster Bay. were on duty today.
I'd TO 2:30 o'clock this afternoon nothing
had been heard direct from the President.
Assistant Secretary Barnes said that the
President would reach his summer home
some time this afternoon.
Much of the executive work will be tran
sacted at the white house, despite the alb
sence of the President. This has been GUS
tomary when other Presidents have been
away from the executive mansion.
Constant Communication.
Much Of the mail that is sent direct to
OYSTER Bay will be forwarded to the white

the President or his secretary in communi-
eating with the executive mansion, al
though long-distance telephone is some
time brought into requisition in cases Of
emergency.
Both telegraph and long distance connec-
ton has been made with the Presidents s
home at Oyster Bay. 1t Is seldom that
President has been known to talk with any
one over the telephone His secretary usual
ly looks after any such work.
President Mckinley Is said to have never
used the telephone while he was an occu-
pant Of the White House. President Roose-
welt has been known to do it only a few
times, and then when communicating with
some personal friend.
President Roosevelt took with him on his
trip two official stenographers and two mes

ON POLITICS IN OHIO
FACTIONAL DISTURBANCE IN
CLEVELAND NOT SETTLED.
Senator Foraker Commends Mr.. Bur-
tons Work in Congressional
the Representative Says.

Senator Foraker Of Ohio came down town
from his home today for the first time since
Congress adjourned. He has been enioyine
a rest from the arduous duties of the past
session. He will remain in the city until
the latter part of next week, when he will
go to his home in Cincinnati
From what Senator Foraker said IN an
Evening Star reporter it is quite evident
that the factional disturbance in the repub-
llcan party in Cleveland has not vet been
satisfactorily adjusted, notwithstanding
much has been printed in the last week
that harmony had been arranged
The Cleveland Difficulty.
Representative Burton will return to
Cleveland tonight. and he Will direct the
campaign in his district, or will decline to
be candidate for reelection, as I un-
derstand it." Senator Foraker said.
Then affairs in the party have not been
straightened out satisfactorily to all con-
cerned? Senator Foraker was asked
The only thing that l care to saw in
connection with the subject is that Mr.
burton desires to have something to say
about the conduct of his canvass, and it is
perfectly right that he should
1T is only fair that he should have some
thing to say about a campaign in which he
ana the party are vitality interested He
Is not asking anything other than what is
Just.
Mr.. Burton has become a very valuable
member or Congress His work as chair
man of one of the most important commit
tees of the House has placed him In the
front rank. He could not afford to go into
campaign If the management, the chair
man of the committee particularly, were
not in touch with him.
What Mr.. Burton Says.
Representative Burton, when seen later
In the day, said that he was going to Cleve-
land tonight and that he would remain
there throughout the summer He said he
hoped that affairs would be adjusted salts
factorily, but his manner was such as to
suggest that he has not yet said that he
would make the race for reelection. and
that, any way, if he does. 1t must be done
under the condition primarily that the
chairman of the campaign committee in his
district be man with whom he Is in per-
feet accord, and who he may appoint.
From another source it was learned that
the candidates on the county ticket in
Cuyahoga county for the most part are

Burton has taken and one or more of then,

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 5.-The move
hent of empty coal cars along the rail-
roads and the unusual activity about sew
eral of the collieries in the region indicate
to the strikers that an effort is to be made
in a few days to start work at some of the
COllieries. The operators assert that they
have sufficient men under engagement,
both returned strikers and imported men,
to man several of the collieries. While they
Will not admit that work may be resumed
next week. there Is general belief that the
effort will be made. In the HaZleton re-
gien the Pardees are expected to mass men
at the Harwood colliery. which, being on
the outskirts of the region, is in less danger
Of attack than a mine in the heart of the
district. and the coal can be shipped from
II without being sent past any mining VII
Iage. A number of miners are said to have
applied for work in response to the notice
Of the company that 1t was ready to re-
ceive applications.
In the Wyoming region all indications
point to a resumption Of work at the Nanti-
coke No. 5 colliery Of the Susquehanna
Coal Company. This mine is situated at
the edge az the Wyoming basin, and its
output goes over the Pennsylvania rail-
road.
In the Wyoming Division.
1t IS also stated that from the Wyoming
division mines of the Delaware Lackawan-
IA and Western Company, one colliery will
be selected at which work is to be started.
The officials say enough miners of the divi-
sion have asked for work to man colliery.
Some empty coal cars were today placed on
sidings near a couple of these collieries
and there Is a hustle about the workings
which indicates that some move is about

The Delaware and Hudson and the Le-
high Valley Companies are also busy with
preparations, which make it appear as If at
time understood by the operators each
company Will try TO break the strike.
The officials of the union, cognizant of
what is being done, are busy. Pickets are
watching the mines, and all moves are re-
ported to headquarters, and If any effort is
made to gather men the strikers will en-
deavor by large picket committees TO see
them before they go to work and dissuade
them. In the Hazleton region they turned

Moved by Selfish Considerations.

So obstructive have been the tactics Of the
foreign military leaders in Tientsin that
the conviction is growing that they are ami
mated entirely by self interest, such as the
consideration of receiving double and treble
salaries while engaged in Chinese service
and the exercise of almost unlimited and
unquestioned powers of government in their
respective spheres of occupation. The State
Department has satisfied itself that the for
eign ministers at Pekin, whose govern
ments are represented by these military
leaders, are thoroughly anxious to have the
treaty of Pekin executed in a fair spirit
and to that end to have Tientsin evacuat-
ed at the earliest possible moment by the
foreign forces. SO it will carry the Chinese
appeal to the governments concerned

Mr.. Hay to Take Action.

The author of this message Yuan Shih-
kali has taken the place of the late Ii Hung
Chang to large extent in dominating Chi
nese foreign policies, and the United States
government is the more disposed to listen
to his appeal because of his excellent con-
duct during the Boxer uprising. Indeed he
was the principal means of communication
between the outside governments and the
legationers during their time of peril, and
but for his strength of character the entire
province of Shantung would have been
drawn over to the Boxer cause.
Secretary Hay is disposed to heed the ap-
peal, and he will address himself to the va
rious governments, probably through Mr.
Conger at Pekin. and the foreign ministers
there located The situation at Tientsn is
peculiar, and, in the view of the State De-
partment, the attitude Of the foreign mill
tary officials there is perfectly unreason-
able. The treaty of Pekin requires the Chi
nese government to maintain peace and or
der and protect foreign property under the
severest penalties, yet by insisting upon the
absurd conditions that no Chinese troops
shall be allowed within sixteen miles of the
great city of Tientsin, with its hybrid popu-
lation, and that only mere handful of 800
troops shall be allowed within the city linn
its to quell disorders the foreign generals
at Tientsin have made 1t impossible for the
Chinese government to maintain peace and
order.

China's Appeal.

translation Of a cablegram received
July 4, 1902 9th moon, Goth day. from Vice
roy Yuan Shih-kai Of ChihlI dated July 3,
1902 9th moon, 2Sth day):
Your cablegram of July Q is received
with much qualification. In the final pro-
tocol signed by the different powers there
Is no stpuation that a supplementary con-
Vention will be made in regard to the res
toratfon of Tientsin. But the foreign mill
ftary officers at Tientsin have arbitrarily
given rise to fresh complications and drawn
up many articles limiting to 300 the num-
Der of Chinese guards to be stationed at
Tientsin within the limit of thirty kilo-
meters. Since the brigands in the vicinity
of Tfentsin. on account of the looting of
the arsenals in 1900 are generally well
armed, it would be impossible for such
small force to suppress and punish bri-
gandage; much less can it police the city
and vicinity and preserve order generally
The military officers appear TO be willing
TO restore the city, but in reality they wish
TO delay; there is reason to fear that their
action is not by any means for the public
good. The foreign ministers at Pekin do
not approve their action and they have re-
peatedly demonstrated with them; but the
military officers have not been willing to
come to an agreement. The ministers and
the military officers each hold to their own
opinions, which greatly impede the progress
OF our affairs. / request YOU to ask the
with the other governments SO that instr1,c-
tions may be sent to the different military
officers direct, ordering them to accede to
the suggestions Of the foreign ministers to
the end that the restoration NAV NOT he
further delayed"
