Priest* and Preachers in Anthracite Ee gion Counsel With Parishoners, PULPIT IS DIVIDED IN SYMPATHIES | How Sandaj Was Spent by the Men In terested In the Labor Struggle—The bay Panes (Jnletly, but Trouble Is Looked for Some Day Tbls Week. HAZLETON, Pa., Sept. 24.—There is absolutely no change in the coal otrlke situation in the Lehigh valley today and the customary Sunday qui etude prevailed. ThiB afternoon the employes of the Calvin 1 ardee mine met at Lattimer and the United Mine Workers held mass meetings at Epley and Beaver Meadows. 'Jonight 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. 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 ot prominent Wilkesbarre familes were arrested last night at Freeland on the charge of highway robbery. They t re 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 Polander says he was delivering beer at Highland and that the deputies asked him and be 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 Btory is to the effect that the Polander demanded a i«e for bring ing the deputies to Freeland and not getting it ho set up the cry that he had been robbed. A crowd soon gath ered and the deputies were taken into custody and given a beaming 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 of the depu ties. There is an exceedingly strong feeling against deputies in this region, be they accused of crime oi not. The three men were released on ball 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 sulted the leaders of local unions and urged mine workers who have not yet struck to leave their work. Benjamin James of the national ex ecutive board said today that he ex pected the number of strikers will be greatl* increased tomorrow. Ho pre dicts that a number of mines which have been running pretty full during the last week will be tied up completely tomorrow. HOBSON DEEPLY GRIEVED. Ntnl Constructor Say* that Remark* on Daway Ware Misquoted. MONTREAL, Sept. 24.—Lieutenant Hobson arrived in this city this even ing. He was shown the answer made 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 ap proached by a reporter nhd in the i course of a conversation had stated 1 that the Spanish ships had been sunk because the plugs were drawn by the Spanish. He explained that it was im possible to sink a ship by hitting it above the water llnq. Admiral Dewey, had. however, compelled the Spaniards to sink their ships and that was just as effective as sinking them with 6bells. 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. Engluh Papers Think the United States Valors 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 held 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 Ceneral Tung Fub Slang has been appointed generalissimo of the northern Chinese armies and Prince Chaung, general commander-in-cbief of the Boxers, has been made a grand councillor. It is also reported that Loh, 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 ol the Pei Tang affair the Chinese had an ticipated that the alllefc would attack in force. The Britishdhs and others who left Tien Tain with the Intention of cutting off the retreat of the Pei Tang garrison, arrived too late. They were only ball 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. Porto Rico Wants Pay. HAVANA, Sept. 24—Porto Rico’s demand on Cuba fot 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. la Quest of Millions, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 22.— Three Russians, named Marie Gurcho witch, Jel Fleldman and Robert Schoub, have reached this city in search of a phantom fortune of $35, 000,000. Eight years ago they saw in the Warsaw Courier a statement that one Yeakob Massek Harowltz, 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. Soldiers Sick % China.

LONDON, Sept. 21.—It was ex plained today at the British foreign office that “it was found inexpedient for the powers to accept the Russian withdrawal proposition,” as they had reliable information that “the Boxers were ready to reoccupy Pekin as soon as the allies retired.” NEW HONORS FOR BOXERS.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 24.—It Is believed in official circles here that °rince Tuan has been or will be promoted to mem bership in the grand council and that the taotai of Shanghai will be ap pointed provincial judge with the no torious Boxer, Kang Yi, as his deputy here.

Neb., Sept. 24.—The long and tiresome fight for control of the institution for feeble-minded youth at Beatrice has been finally cettled, and Dr. C. E. Coffin and Secretary Jewell, who received the institution from Dr. Lang, as representatives of Governor Poynter, turned the institution over to Dr. W. H. Dearing, the new superin tendent. There has bene more or less trouble at this institution for the last six or eight years. Some time ago Governor Poynter became dissatisfied with the manage ment of the institution under the superintendency of Dr. Lang, and ap pointed Dr. Dearing. Lang took the 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.

OMAHA, Sept. 24.—Judge Sbiras 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 «er>uring 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 severalty 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. , The Farmers’ Supply Association of Lincoln, Neb., is now ready for busi ness.

Smith, on behalf of the committee on judicial administration, recommended the passage of a bill creating a board of six commissioners. Judge Wakeley of Omaha thought a legislative com mission comprised of regularly ap pointed commissioners or judges of the district court might temporarily re lieve the court. Dean M. B.
