HAJCLKTO.V, I'd., Sept. 21. -Contrary to
tho expectations of both the operators nnd
the striking coal minora there were no dc
iclopments In tho strike situation In the
Lclilgli region today. It was thought In
omo quarters that owing to the presence
of troops In the unthnicltc field it break
would occur In the ranks of the strikers
or that a largo number of additional men
would refrain from work. Tho operator as
a rule predicted a hrcak In tho strikers'
ranks nncl the labor lenders were reuson
nbly sure they would tlo up this region
tighter than over.
Tonight both sides rlalm that they have
mndo pood Rains. It seems, however, from
tho most reliable reports received here to
day from Iho cntlroroKlnn that the strik
ers made. a net gain In point of numbers.
Tho M. S. Kemmcrcr colliery nt Sandy Bar,
on tho north side, was tlrd up today, but
the operation Is not a largo one.

these camo from the Heading enmpanv

large gains. I have not received definite
figures, but f should Judg.' that the num
ber of men1 heretofore working ami wIm
illd not go into the mines , In this district
todny numbered between 00 and SO men.
The meetings held on Sunday bv the
1 nltcd Mine Workers, it t which men who
had not struck were "trongly urged to
Help in Hie light, bore fruit. As a whole, I
feel more encouraged tonight than I hnve
lit any time since the striae lipgan, inn! I
cim eiiiilldent that within the next fe.v
days the entire antlirni'lte coal lild in
Pennsylvania will be Idle. At no place
today did n hue n man.
In regard tp the efforts of Archbishop
Jlyun of Philadelphia lo bring about a set
tlement through arbitral ion, Mr. Mitchell
aid:
Archbishop Hy.m will call upon the pro
prietors of the various radronds which
have mining Interesta In Ibis region, at
the request of the I'nlleil Mine Workers,

Insincerity In publicly declining thrlr will
ingness to trent with their men and will
placo them in the same position as that
once occupied by Mr. Vanderlillt, who
ery forcibly said that the public had no
Interests which a corporation was bound to
lespect.
When Mr. .Mitchell was askcil If the strik
ing miners had received any benefits from
theUnlted Mine Workers of America slnco
Iho strike was Inaugurated, ho simply bald,
"No."
.Not Friendly lo olillt iK,
A battalion of the F.lghth regiment, com
posed of Companies C, I) ami F, arrived at
McAdoo. tho neatest point In Schuylkill
county to tho city of Hnzlctnn, at 5 this
morning. Owing lo the early hour there were
not over a dozen porsous at tho little rail
road Htatlim on tho outskirts of tho town
to sco tho Infantrymen eomo In. The
troops loft tho Infantry camp at Shenan
doah at 4 o'clock nnd did not bring their
camp equipment with them because they
expect to return to Shcnanilot.li tonight It
nothing transpires to require their further
presence near Hazleton.
Lieutenant Colonel Hutchinson, who Ih In
rommnnd of tho battalion, said he was
ordered there to mnko a demonstration by
inarching his men through McAdoo nnd
tho surrounding towns. Kadi man carried
twenty rounds of ammunition. As soon as
tho battalion had left the cars Colonel
Hutchinson hired a team and mado an In

returned to tho railroad station at (1:30
n. in. and immediately gave tho order to
march. Tho route taken wftB down tho
Tamaqua "road, through McAdoo and then
west to Honoybronk. Hero n wldo detour
was made, which brought tho battalion to
Audenrlcd, Luzorno county, nnd then they
marched back through McAdoo to tho point
from which they had stnrtcd. Tho troops
were received by tho inhabitants of the
various towns with evidence of enmity nnd
illsllke. Not n cheer was given them nny
place, but many a Jeer was sent after thorn
ns they passed groups of people on tho
streets. The women seemed to be moro
animated at tho presence of iho soldiers
than tho men. One woman, aftor the troops

"If you don't shoot somo of those follows

the burgess of the town. Uo stated that
tho action of General Oobln In sending

his people were law-abiding and pointed
to the fact that tho town was so peaceable
that not n policeman was required at nny

"I Bhall not bo responsible for any overt

WASHINGTON. Sept. 24. The position
of the United States on China, as
mado known in tho notes made public yes
terday, Is receiving the earnest considera
tion of the other powers and their repre
sentatives here. It Is looked upon as
a sort of turning point In tho negotiations,
on which the alignment of tho several coun
tries will be determined and their pro
grams framed, There has been no word,
however, from any of the governments con
cerning their view of tho American position,
nnd It Is expected that somo days will elapse
before any new move Is made. There Is
reason to believe that tho American note
was considered nt llerlln yesterday by
those chief in authority, but this has brought
no positive developments thus far.
Tho Chinese minister has not heard from
LI Hung Chang or Prince Chlng since the
purposes of this government were made
known to them. Minister Wu continues to
express the earnest hopo that tho Uultcd
States will take tho lead In bringing about
a settlement. Asldo from Its benefits to all
tho powers and to China, the minister says
It would establish lasting bonds between this
country and China and would pnve the way
for treaty relations of the most ndvnntagtous
character for American Interests.
Authority for Conner,
In accordance with tho statement made
to Germany to the effect that the United
States government is about to authorize
Mr. Conger to enter forthwith Into confer
ence with the duly authorized representa
tives of the Chinese government with a
view to bringing about a preliminary agree
ment. Acting Secretary of Stato Hill spent
somo time yesterday framing tho directions
to Mr. Conger. In view of tho peculiarly
dellcato nature of the task to bo conlldcd
to Mr. Conger, this Is a work requiring
much thought. The language nf the note
professing to stato what Mr. Conger Is to
do Is unusual and seems generally to In
dicate that he Is about to undertake to
bring the powers and China together; In
actuality, he is to serve as n. mediator In
part nt least.
He presumably will nrrange with tho
Chlncso representntlves, Li Hung Chnug
and Prince Chlng, as to tho place where
thoy are willing to meet the representatives
of the powers to discuss a final settlement.
and try to ax upon ccrtnin brond principles
that shall govern tho conference. This
program must be submitted to tho powers
to ascertain If they nro willing to accent
It. If so, then It may be that something
In tho nature of n Joint International peace
commission will deal with tho Chinese
representatives. Should the powers or any
ot inem reject any such program as Mr,
Congor may bo able to frame, then it a-
peniH i nit i mere win no' nothing for tho
United States to do hut to mako negotia
tions on its own account, making suro that
no subsequent action of tho dissenting
powers negatives any of the results so-
sured by our commissioners In tho settle
ment directly with China.
It Is now understood that General Chaf
fee's military force will be reduced to about
l.r.On men. This contingent being specially
known as a legation gunrd, will not bo
subject to anyono unless the United States
minister desires It. as mado known through
the military commander, nnd, not being part
or ine allied ;orces, will not bo under the
command of tho Gorman field marshal,
fount von Walderscc. Tho orders for the
reduction aro still In process of perfec
tion.

WASHINGTON; Sept. 2. Tho Stato do

that tho French government had adopted
nn attitude similar to that of tho United
States In replying to tho German noto nnd
that fact was duly reported by tho Asso
ciated Press. In addition It was stated
thai the government of Hussla was In lino
with that of Franco In this matter. Thero
Is a disposition to mlnlmlzo tho differences
between tho United States and Germany
on tho point of delivery of tho Chlneso

pointed out that our only reason for differ
ing was n profound conviction that n de
terrent effect could be produced unon tho
Chinese people ns n wholo only by allowing

the guilty parties. Tho samo punishment,
if applied by a foreign power. It Is said
at tho Stato department, would utterly
fall of n reformatory effect, as tho Chinese
peoplo would venerato the memory of the
martyrs, while the Chlneso government,
which nrrogntes to Itself the peculiar right
to roward and punish after death, mlcbt
elevate the victims of tho allies' nets and
thus offer nn incentive for a repetition

The railroads aro trying to get their

but find It dlfllcult to get men. While tho

were being impressed to bury the dead

men wero glad to get out of town nnd
work for tho railroads. Now that they
have money nnd the martial law is over
thoy arc returning to tho city.
Ofllclnls of tho Galveston lines held n
meeting this morning to dispose of several
hundred cars of grain more or loss dam
aged by water. In many of tho cars water
rose to a height of ono foot, ft is be
lieved that tho grain nbove that mark can
be saved If promptly handled. The rail
roads report that tho consignees seem to
bo making little effort to take care of this
grain. Tho railroads claim they aro not
responsible for tho damago resulting from
such a catastrophe ns the reccfa storm.
They have decided to handle tho grain to
the best advantage, as thoy would any
property left In their charge and becoming
damaged.
Govornor Sayers will arrive here tomor

mittee. Tho storm swept away a great many of
the caskets which had been placed In

that not more than 4.000 peoplo will bo

able to assume that 800 or 1,000 persons

which would mako the total death list !

Nows Is of tho opinion Hint the death list

the paramount Issue by the populist puriv
In lvc and by the demoerutlc party, with
the eo-opcratlon of populists and silver n -publicans
In 1NM.
Mr. Hrynn was nominated for president
on that issuo and made a most extraordi
nary canvass, displaying endurance and elo
quenee without n parallel. If the deimi
rratle party had been successful I believed
then and believe now that sliver would have
bj-en restored. So strong was my faith in
Mr. Hrynn and In the cause ho represented
that I supported him with all the zeal and
energy I possessed. Hut times have
changed and Mr. Hrynn has changed or
developed characteristics Incompatible
with honor nnd patriotism. Silver is not
an Issue lu tills campaign. There can bo
oui ono issue in n political conwst, wlile'i
Iho successful party regards as binding In
lis governmental notion. Divisions on the
subordinate Issues are not regarded as re
bellion against party authority.
I'ree .Silver .llnile Side Imiie.
The Kansas City platform recognized sil
ver as a side issue nnd found great flllll
eulty In giving the while inetnl meager
recognition. The committee voted by stnles
on the question f Inserting It! to 1 nnd
there was one mnjorltv of states ami ter
ritories in ravor of silver, but tho states
voting against recognizing the white metal
contained more than two-thirds of the voles.
In tho electoral college nnd also In the
houso of representatives. Croker & Co.
of the east were satlstled with the result
and the gold democrats of the Atlantic
seaboard aro generally supporting Mr.
Hrynn.
They undoubtedly understand that he has
Practically abandoned the cause of sil
ver. Mr. Hrenn's organ, tho Chlchgo Amor
lean, In Its report of his speech at Syracuse,
Neb.. September 22. lrtio, quotes him as say
ing that 'the democrats believed ns much
in tarirf reform as they had In 1RP2 and ns
much In tho freo eolnago of silver as they
had In 1NW. but neither of these wim the
Issuo of supremo .Importance now.' I never
wiik a trtr tr.'tder nnd Mr. Oryan' off
hand wny of throwing sliver In the wnsto
basket with freo trado ruhhlsh Is unsat
isfactory to me, and I think It will bo to
all silver men nnd populists who supported
him In ISM. Conditions lu iw forced sil
ver lo tho front, hut conditions hnvo
changed, it thousand millions of new gold
from the mines, a hundred millions addi
tional to bank circulation.
Vast war expenditures, mid above all the
enormous liaiance or trade prodiiceu ty tno
Dlngley tariff bill, have made money
plenty, created good times and verltled
tho contention that contraction paralyze
Industry and produces stagnation und
want More money has come and accom
plished for tho timi" being the results
which we believed would follow from the
remonetlzallon of sliver.
llljnii He NpoiiNllile for liiiperlulloiu,
Mr. Hrynn's magnetism and leadership
In creating a now Issue, which he calls Im
perialism, and in linpoKlng It upon ihe
democratic party, would be admirable In
nn honest cause. Ills two-hours' speech
of acceptance of tho nomination ut Indian
apolis Is devoted to Imperialism, growing
out of the acquisition of the Philippines,
which could not havo been accomplished
without his assistance Mr. Hrvuu, in that
samo speech, gives his reasons for secur
ing tho ratlllcatlon of tho treaty No In
dictment enn bo framed against Mr. Hryan
ns a statesman and patriot more Injurious
to him than the reasons he gives for his
own conduct. Ills defense shall bo given
In Ills own language. He says:
"I was among the number of those who be
lieved It better to ratify tho treaty and end
(l.n fixittnttn t.n .'..1 1 1 M t itl.T'U ,m,..', til..
excuse lor war expenditures and then give
tho Filipinos the Independence which
might be forced from Spain by n new
tieuty In view of tho criticism which my
nctlou aroused in some quarters I take this
occasion to restate tho reasons given at
that time. I thought It safer to trust tho
American people to give Independence to the
Filipinos than to trust the accomplishment
of that purpose to diplomacy with an un
friendly nation. Lincoln embodied an argu
ment In the question when he asked, "Cm
aliens make treaties easier than friends can
mako laws?' I believe that wo are now in a
better position to win a successful contest
against Imperialism than wo would have
been had tho treaty been rejected. With
tho treaty ratlllcd u clean Issuo Is presented
between a government by consent nnd a
government by force and imperialists must
bear tho responsibility for all that happens
until tho question Is settled.
"If tho treaty bad been rejected the blood
and treasure which had then been expended
In the conquest would have been lost nnd
Iho nrmy of tho United States, then engaged
In battle with Agulnaldo's force, would
have been withdrawn. This may have been
disgraceful, but It would not havo been us
diabolical as the sacrlllces which have since
been made, If tho territory wo acquired
must bo given to rebels In nrms."
Is It possible thnt Mr. Hryau'H nnxlety to
create tho Issue of lmnerlalism for bis own
aggrandizement blinded him to the fact that
every dollar expended nnd every life lost
since tho treaty was ratified has been a
nicrlflco to his inordinate ambition? If ho
had been houestlv oiioosed to the ncniilsi.
Hon of the Philippines lie would not have
Induced his demoerutlc friends In the senate
to vote for the ratllUutlon of tin- treatv.
Spain reluctantly made the treaty which
ceded the Islands and would havo gfadlv ac
cepted an amendment retaining Its Asiatic
possessions Many senators wire In favor
of such an amendment which. If Mr. Hryan
and his friends had Insisted, would hnvo
In -n adopted. Such an amendment would
rave hastened the ratlllcatlon of the treuty
by removing the bono of contention.
I'rcKlileut Did HIn Duly,
When the treaty was rat I tied It became
the duty of tho president of the United
States to execute Its mandates. The United
States undertook In the treaty to protect
llfo and property and the freedom of re
ligion In every part of the Philippine archi
pelago. Congress cu-nperated with the
executive in appropriating the a).WW,(K) pur.
chase money and In providing men and
meanH to put down the rebellion nnd main
tain tho authority of the United States. All
of this would havo been unnecessary If the
treuty had been rejected nnd for all this
Mr. Hrynn Is responsible.
Mr. Hryan says In his HullnnnpoiiH speech;
"If elected 1 will convene congress In ex
traordinary session as soon us 1 urn ln
iiugurated nnd recommend nn Immediate
declaration of the nation's purpose; iirsl, lo
establish a stable form of government In
tho Phi Ipplno Islands. Just us wo are now
establishing n stnblo form of government
In Culm; second, lo give independence to the
Filipinos, Just as wo hnvo promised to tivo
Independence to the Cubans; third, to pro
tect tho Mllplnos from optsldo Interference
while they work out their destiny, Just us
wo havo protected the re-publics of Centriil
and South America und nro, by the Monroe
doctrine, pledged to protect Cuba "
What reason can Mr Hryan assign why
thn peoplo of the United States should be
taxed lo purchase Ihe Philippines, establish,
for the i J. Ilplnos a stable government, glvo
them their Independence and then extend

ard, iiargtd with being a prlnrli.nl lu (he
murder of William Gccbel, began this rft
ornoon nnd will conclude tomorrow mam
lug Colonel Llttlo opened the nrgument
this afternoon for the defense. He argned
that the testimony of Culton and other
self-confessed consplrntnrs was unworthy
of lellef and that the word of Ilownnl him
self should go further with the Jury, ns
ho claimed to bo Innocent nnd the state
had failed to provo hint guilty. In ad
dressing the Jury Llttlo referred to Goebcl
at nil times as "Governor Goebcl" In the
most respectful manner and condemned the
murder In tho most vigorous terms, but
npperiled to the Jury to he sure not to
punish an Innocent man. Ho said he did
not doubt the shot was tired from the sec
retary of state's olllce, but there was no
proof that Howard was In there.
Colonel T. C. Campboll made the first
speech for tho prosecution. The burden
of his argument was that Howard's de
fense, nn alibi, having been annihilated
by tho evidence of the prosecution wns
equal to finding him guilty, as there also
wns evidence that ho had been discovered
running nway from th- building imme
diately after the shooting. He nlso dwelt
on Slubbletleld's testimony, which related
to Ilnwurd's alleged confession.
