MONO KONG, Oct. 2S. Advices from Lieu
Chao on North river say that American
mission property there Is threatened with
destruction by Boxers, who have posted
the following proclamation:
"We have organized to protect our coun
try and our homes and rely upon ono
nnother to support the order to drive out
tho forelKU devils. They are mad. Their
folly passes description. They are the
usurpers of our land. They disturb our
borders.
"In all the provinces and prefectures
chapels have been opened and our people
re deceived, ripped open and disembow
eled, while the foreigners grow tat on the
revenues of China. Insulting our officials
and merchants aud seising our temples and
palaces.
"The emperor Is Indulgent and permits
this. Who can foretell tho Intension of
tho foreign devils? Day by day they act
moro outrageously. When we behold tho
present condition of affairs our hearts uru
bruised with grief. Therefore we have or
ganized our strength to destroy tho devour
ing wolf throughout the empire."
The Hoxers took the American Prcsby
terlan buildings, but have not destroyed
them. Rebellion Is' extending along East ,
river and North river In tho province of
Hwang SI. It Is supposed to be aimed at
the overthrow of tho Manchu dynasty, but
tho rororts are so contradictory that It
is next to impossible to form a lucid im
pression. In Canton the Chinese officials are taking
tho Insurrection so lightly that foreigners
believe it will bo very dlfllcult to sup
press. CONGER WILL WORK FOR PEACE

WASHINGTON, Oct. -'5. Minister Conger
has been authorized by his government to
begin negotiations at enco with the Chinese
envoys on the bnsls of the points In the
Trench and Gorman notes upon which all
of tho powers are agreed. Upon these
points whero divergence of views has been
found to exist the governments of the pow
ers themselves will negotiate with a view
to reaching a further understanding. It Is
understood the ministerial representatives
at Pekln of tho other powers have similar
Instructions.
Tho Berlin statement this morning that
Germany has agreed to Japan's proposals
that peaeo' negotiations with China shall
ut present be entrusted to the foreign rep
rosentatives at Pekln Is regarded hero ns
an Indication that Germany has taken sim
ilar action In thu case of Minister Muium
yon Schwartzenstoin.
Some surprise Is expressed here at the
inslstcnco by some of tho powers upon a
Bettloment of the question of the sufficiency
of credentials of the Chinese envoy at, this
jiolnt. It is stated that It is the invarluble
practice In peace negotiations to allow the
plenipotentiaries themselves to pass upon
tho credentials of the envoys, which In
variably is deferred until the first meeting
uf tho plenipotentiaries.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. The State de

British government of the terms of the

Britain and Germany as to China. This

consideration.
It has been definitely decided that the

UNCOVERS BIG FORGERIES

inllii Funds.
NKW YORK, Oct. 25. Operating under
the cloak of agents of the republican cam
palgn committee, rogues have succeeded In
obtaining probably $100,000 on forged
checks In this city and through the state.
Their mode of operation Is shown In tho
enso of II. M. Cook, who Is under arres
on the charge of passing bogus checks
bearing the name of M. L. Muhlemann,
treasurer ot the republican national cam
paign committee. Cook, It Is said, Induced
William J. Wright to deposit checks pur
porting to represent 1,100 In his account
In the Mouut Morris bank. These all bore
Mr. Muhleraan's name.
Cook explained that thsy were contribu
tions to the republican fund, and the com
mittee, not desiring to let the amount ot
the subscriptions be generally known, baa
arranged to cash the checks In different
banks.
Wright gave Cook $1,100 In cash, and a
few days ago the prisoner appeared again
with $1.T00 In checks. Tho bank officials
began an Investigation and found that the
checks had been forged. Other similar
transactions have been reported from the
Interior, which lead to tho supposition
that the total receipts by the forgeries
will not fall short ot $100,000.
Treasurer Cornelius N, Bliss, of the na.
tlonal committee, says that Cook had no
connection with that body. Cook was onco
associated with a subtreasury official and
once had undertaken to organize a political
literary bureau, and In that way had se
cured letters from members ot the com
mittee. On tho strength of these letters
the man had obtained funds. The sum of
$900 had been traced to htm, Mr, Bliss said.
He believes that the real sum obtained
by Cook Is greater.

MORALLY GUILTY OF MURDER

Regent Deun of tho I'nlverslty of Mich

part us follows:
"Conditions were Improving here rnpldlv
up to the time Hryun wns nominated nnd
began to tulk In public. The result of the
iinnouucemeiit of his policy in regard to
the Philippines was to put u stop to ilu
Importunt surrenders which were being
made under thu terms of amnesty and to
bring nbout ronewed hostilities through
the worst dlntrlcts hero in Luzon.
"We know absolutely from captured cor
respondence that- this desperate effort to
keep up a rhow of rtstsla-u-fl Is being m:ide
only In the hope of Influencing the elecll n
nt home, and Importint Insurgent lenders
like Slndlco any that unless Hryan s
elected or the war in China draws troops
from these islands they will give up their
useless efforts in November. I therefore
do not look for any gcnerul improvement
In the situation until after the presidential
election, but, with that out of the wjy
1 expect to seo n rpocdy change for the
bettor. At present the Insurgents are
resorting to that Inst reKort of u falling
cause, wholesale nssusstnatlon.
"They are putting price on the heads
of men known to ! friendly to the Amer
icans und aro resorting to the most llendlth
tortures and mutilations In order to Inllu

him to curry out his mission, ns the people

PRESIDENT MITCHELL TO GIVE STATEMENT
New Dinieiiltr Presents Itself In
llnilrtoit District Where Incrense
Is Orantril, but no Mention Is
.Marie of SHIdlnB Scale.
HAZLETON. I.. Oct. 25. The mine
workers' strike has been declared oft
ngalujt all companies which havo com
piled with the strikers' demands nnd tho
strlko will bo continued against those
companies which havo not granted tho
Scrnnton convention's demands.
The strikers will return to work Mon
day at tho places where the tlcup Ii
ended.
A new dlfllrulty presented Itself today
when the Lehigh & Wllkesbarve Coal com
pany posted a supplemental notice at Its
collieries In the Hazleton district to the
effect that the company will pay Its men
2i cents additional on a car ot coal to
tL'Eko up the 10 per cent Increase tn wages.
The notice says nothing about abolishing
tho sliding scale, nor does It gunrantco
tho lncreaso until April. To the mtno work
ers theso are two vital points. These
notices aro tho same as thoso previously
posted by the company at Its mines In the
Wllkesbarre district, where the slldlug
scalo never existed.
(ircnt Jo)- nt llnreltnn.
There was much rejoicing tonight when
tho anouncement was made that the coal
strike was at an cud in so tar It concerned
tho collieries whero the conditions de
manded by tho miners had been compiled
with. The nous spread quickly nnd soon
telegrams began to arrive at headquarters.
Most of them congratulated President
Mitchell on the successful ending ot thu
contest.
Everywhere la the region local unions
had been awaiting the news nnd In a mo
ment after the decision ot the conference
was reached tho three district presidents
began telephoning a synopsis of tho state
mcnt to every mining town lu the coal
fields. By this means tho wholo region hcaid
the news In a short time.
The mine workers of this district firmly
believe that all the operators against whom
the strike has not been declared off will
concede tho demands ot the miners by Mon
day. In fact it was said by one of tho
higher odlcers of the union that the state
ir.au&.wau n-a .liswr. up until ppaitlvi at
surances had been received thai thq other
companies would comply with the demands.
No such nssurance, however, was received
ns far as could bo learned from G. 11.
Marklo & Co. in this district, which Is the
only company that has not offered an In
crease of wages. President Mitchell de
clined to say anything In regard to the
Marklo company's position other than tbnt
the mlno workers' offer was so fair that
he could think of no valid reason why that
company should not glvo that which the
miners ask.
Tho United Mine Workers' headquarters
will probably bo closed next week. Presi
dent Mitchell will bo la Scrauton on Sat
urday to participate In n breaker boys' dem
onstration, after which hn will make a
tour ot tho entire anthracite region.
Plans havo been mapped out for Jolllfl-
cutlou meetings In various parts ot the coal
fields. Later on President Mitchell will go
to Now York to attend a Clgarmakers'
union meeting, after which ho will return
to national headquarters at Indianapolis.
Mitchell's Official Statement.
The following statement was given out
for publication tonight by President Mitch
ell of tho United Mine Workers:
TEMPORARY HEADQUARTERS OK
I N1TED MINE WORKERS OF AMER
ICA. HAZLETON. Pa.. Out. 25. 1900. To
the Miners and Mlno Workers of the An
thracite Region Gentlemen: After care
fully cunvasalng tlii entlro situation we,
your olllcen, district nnd natlonul, have
concluded that your victory is so nearly
complete thnfno good end can bo served
by continuing the strike longer. The con
test has been in progress for thlrty-nlnn
days and the companies employing you
have, with few exceptions, signified their
wi'llngness to pay the scale of wages for
mulated by the Hcranton convention of
October 12 and IX
We are nwure thnt some disappointment
and dissatisfaction has been caused by the
fulluru of operators lu districts 1 and 7 to
separate tho reduction in tho price of pow
der from tho ndvanco la wages, but after
rnrcftil Inquiry wo aro natlsiled that each
mlno employ will actually receive nn ad
vance of 10 per cent on the wnKCs formerly
paid. In tho Schuylkill and Lehlgli regions
the largest companies havo agreed that the
sliding scaltt should bo suspended and that
wages should remain stationary at 10 per
cent until April 1, 1001. thus removing ono
of the lnliultles of which you bavo com
plained for many yenrs.
Whllo It Is true that you have not se
cured redress for all your wrongs; while
It la triui that the lncreaso In your earn
ings will not fully compensate you for
tno arduous labor you aro compelled to
perform, you havo established a powerful
organization which If maintained nnd con
ducted on business principles will enable
you to reguUto many of yiur Ioeal grlev
ances and make your employment lers
ImzarilnuH and moro prolltablu than before
tho strike began.
Advises Grievance Committers.
The companies agreo In their notices to
take up with their mine employes all griev
ances complained of. We would therefore
advise that when work Is resumed com
mittees be selected by the mine employes
and that they wait upon the superintend
cnts of the companies and prenent their
grievances lu an orderly, business. llko man
ner nnd iiHk that they be corrected
Your attention Is respcctfnly ca'.led to
the fact that laws of tho state of Pennsyl
vanlo provldo thai miners should be paid
semi-monthly upon demand We should
therefore advise that each mine employe
iiiirn ,i,i In., on the romnanv that ho ex
pects lo bo paid his wages twice, each
month, as provided by law
Tho practical benefits to the miners
which nccruo from thorough organization
have been so clearly demonstrated daring
this strlko that It should be needless for us
to urge upon you tho necessity of maintain
ing your union Intact. We trust, however,
that those who are now members of tho
union will be unceasing In their efforts to
Induce ull other mine workers to ally them
selves with the I'nlted Mlno Workers of
America at once, as It will be Impossible for
you to secure high" wages In tho future or
even to main' in the present rate of wagea
unlenH you .re prepared to offer a united re
slstencc If any attempt Is made to reduce
your earnings upon the expiration of the
present olfer.
Strike on Auulnst These,
Ah thero nrn somu few companies who
havo neither postrd. untitled nor signified
In any other manner their willingness to
pay the 10 per cent advance In wages and
suspend th sliding acnle we would ndviso
that unless tho men employed by such com
panies receive notice before Monday that
the advance will be paid they remnln away
from Uic mines and continue on strike until
