PULPIT IS DIVIDED IN SYMPATHIES
How Sunday Was Spent by the Men In
terested In the Labor Struggle The
Day Fmscs Quietly , but Trouble is
Looked for Some Day This Week.
HAZLETON , Pa. , Sept. 24. There
is absolutely no change in the coal
strike situation in the Lchigh valley
today and the customary Sunday qui
etude prevailed. This afternoon the
employes of the Calvin Pardee mine
met at Lattimer and the United Mine
Workers held mass meetings at Epley
and Beaver Meadows. lonigbt the
presidents of the three anthracite dis
tricts , comprising the entire hard coal
fields of Pennsylvania , had a confer
ence with President Mitchell for the
purpose of discussing the situation as
It now prevails in the anthracite re
gion.
gion.During
During normal times a colliery here
and there works on Sunday , but today
not a pound of coal was mined in the
Hazleton region. Today the twenty-
five or more towns in this region were
quiet.
Many miners , accompanied by their
families , visited neighboring villages
to see relatives or friends , as is their
custom , on Sunday , while most others
remained indoors at their homes.
All the mining towns had their full
quota at the churches and it was a
subject of remark by strangers now in
the region that an unusually large
proportion of the population attended
church. The women and children ,
however , were in a vast majority. The
Catholic faith is the dominating de
nomination in the coal region.
Three of the deputies who were
sworn in by Sheriff Harvey of Luzerne
county and who are sons or prominent
Wilkesbarre familes were arrested last
night at Freeland on the charge of
highway robbery. They ue Hamilton
Farnam , VanBuren B. Howard and A.
R. Shoemaker , jr. The men are ac
cused of robbing a Polish liquor deal
er of $167 in cash. There are two
sides to the story. The PoJander says
he was delivering beer at Highland and
that the deputies asked him -and he
consented to let them ride in his wag
on to Freeland. At the outskirts of
that place , he claims , the men assault
ed him and took the money from his
pocket
The other story is to the effect that
the Polander demanded a iee for bring
ing the deputies to Freeland and not
getting it he set up the cry that he
had been robbed. A crowd soo'n gath
ered and the deputies were taken into
custody and given a heading before a
justice of the peace , which lasted un
til 2 o'clock this morning. The "squire
committed the three men , but instead
of locking them up at Freeland the
accused were ariven thirty miles over
the mountains to Wilkesbarre , where
they arrived at daylight this morning.
This was done in order to prevent the
possibility of the men being taken
from the local lockup by a crowd
which was still waiting to see what dis
position was to be made c.f the depu
ties. There is an exceedingly strong
feeling against deputies in this region ,
be they accused of crime 01 not The
three men were released on bail after
their arrival at Wilkesbarre.
The United Mine Workers' organ-
izens spent the day in various parts of
this district looking after the inter
ests of their organization. They con

ecutive board said today that he ex
pected the number of strikers will be
greatl increased tomorrow. He pre
dicts that a number of mines which
have been running pretty full during
the last week will be tied up completely
tomorrow.

. on Dcwey Were Misquoted.
MONTREAL , Sept 24. Lieutenant

by Admiral Dewey to the interview
with the lieutenant sent out from
Vancouver. He said he was deeply
grieved that Admiral Dewey had taken
the matter up in the way reported. He
declared that he was not responsible
for the statement made in the Van
couver interview. He had been approached
preached by a reporter and in the
course of a conversation had stated
that the Spanish ships had been sunk
because the plugs _ wefX.djaw.n ? by the
Spanish. He explained th at it was im
possible to sink a ship by bitting it
above the water line. Admiral Dewey ,
had , however , compelled the Spaniards
to sink their ships and that was just
as effective as sinking them with
shells. Personally he had the highest
possible respect for Admiral Dewey
and his great achievement and he
greatly regretted that anything had
been attributed to him which might
tend to destroy the glory of the ad
miral's deeds.

AMERICAN REPLY IN LONDON.
English Papers Think the United Statei
Values China's Good Will Too Highly.
LONDON , Sept. 24. The morning
papers are too fully occupied with the
general election campaign to bestow
much attention on the Chinese prob
lem. The Standard , which discusses
editorially the replies of the United
States government , says :
"The policy thus laid down implies
the existence at Washington of a very
exaggerated estimate of the good will
of the Chinese rulers. It is to be fear
ed that the action of the United States
will tend to weaken the influence of the
allies , and for this reason it is greatly
to be regretted. "
According to the Pekin correspond
ent of the Daily News , wiring Septem
ber 16 , me Chinese declare most pos
itively that the empress dowager and
the emperor will in no case return to
the imperial palace in Pekin , as they
hold that it has been desecrated by
the intrusion of barbarians. This ir
reconcilable attitude receives confir
mation in many reports emanating
from Shanghai. One of these is that
as a reply , to the denunciation of
Prince Tuan and others by the viceroys
an imperial edict , dated September 17 ,
deals more leniently with the Boxer
movement and reminds the people that
both the Boxers and Chinese Christians
are Chinamen , who shall receive im
perial protection if they quietly dis
perse to their homes. The edict points
out that it is impossible for the impe
rial government to distinguish be
tween good and bad Boxers. It says
that if the rebel Boxers still continue
to assemble they will be dealt with
summarily.
Another report says that the edict
frankly declares that no executions
can be sanctioned until an adequate
inquiry has been made.
Further indications that Prince Tuan
has resumed his former ascendancy
are found in the Shanghai reports of
his promotion and in the statement
from the same quarter that General
Tung Fun Slang has been appointed
generalissimo of the northern Chinese
armies and Prince Chaung , general
commander-in-chief of the Boxers , has
been made a grand councillor. It is
also reported * that Lob , former gover
nor of Kiang Su province , a Manchu
and bitterly anti-foreign , has been ap
pointed to succeed Li Hung Chang at
Canton.
According to various accounts of the
Pei Tang affair the Chinese had an
ticipated that the allies would attack
in force. The Britishers and others
who left Tien Tsin with the intention
of cutting off the retreat of the Pei
Tang garrison , arrived too late. They
were only hair way to their destination
when the forts were captured.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard explains that the Russians
refused to provide trains for this force ,
but gave the Germans and Austrians
ample notice and railway accommoda
tions.
Advices to the Standard from Shang
hai place the losses of the allies be
fore Pei Tang at 300 , principally due
to the explosion of mines , one of
which , 200 yards long , exploded like
an earthquake , killing and wounding
large numbers and literally blowing
two mounted officers to pieces.
Forte Rico Wants Fay.
HAVANA , Sept. 24. Porto Rico's
demand on Cuba for the repayment of
more than $2,500,000 advanced to Spain
to conduct military operations against
Cuba , has been the source of consider
able amusement. Cubans are asking
why they should repay these funds
lent to the enemy for the express pur
pose of subduing them.
General Wood will return the doc
ument forwarded from Washington to
Governor Allen of Porto Rico , togeth
er with a memorandum , couched in
diplomatic language , pointing out that
he is unable to take any action in the
matter.
In Onest of Millions.
SAN FRANCISCO , Cal , Sept. 22.
Three Russians , named Marie Gurcho-
witch , Jel Fieldman and Robert
Schoub , have reached this city in

000,000. Eight years ago they saw in

one Yeakob Massek Harowitz , whose
heirs they claim to be , had died in
America , leaving the sum mentioned.
Later the story was repeated by a dy
ing millionaire in Chentchin , and
search is being made for the treasure.

British Reason for Staying.
LONDON , Sept. 21. It was ex

controversy into court and Judge
Stull granted him a temporary injunc
tion and upon the case coming up to
be heard on its merits the judge de
cided it in favor of Dr. Dearing and
against Dr. Lang. Lang then appealed

the control of the institution and com
manding him to turn it over to his

In the Dark as to the Lair.
OMAHA , Sept. 24. Judge Shiras of
the United States district court de
cided the case of Thomas L. Sloan
against the United States in favor of
the defendant on a motion to dismiss
for want of jurisdiction. In render
ing this decision the court certified
the case to the United States supreme
court for the purpose of enuring final
decisions upon some questions where
the law is ambiguous. The first ques
tion propounded to the supreme court
by the district judge is whether he
was right in dismissing the case , as
he asks whether the act granting the
lands in severally to the Omaha In
dians confers jurisdiction upon the
circuit court to determine such cases
as may be presented under its terms ,
and whether the court would have
jurisdiction when the suit is brought
against the United States alone to the
exclusion of the Indian tribe and all
other persons.

education and other legislation affect
ing the profession.

judges of the supreme court and dis
posing of the accumulated litigation

lation requiring a higher general edu
cation preliminary to the study of
