PllPIT IS DIVIDED IN SYMPATHIES How Humbiy Wan Spent by the Men In terested In the Labor Struggle—Tlie Hay I'aHHrn Onletl), but Trouble Is Looked for Home Hay This Meek. — HAZLETON, Pa., 3ept. 21—There la absolutely no change In the coal strike situation in the Lehigh valley today and the customary Sunday qui etude prevailed. This afternoon the ^ employes of the Calvin 1 ardee mine met at Lattimer and the United Mine Workers held mars meetings at Epley and Heaver Meadows. Tonight 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 j purpose of discussing the situation us It now prevails in the anthracite re- j gion. During normal times a colliery here and there workn on Buuday, but today not a pound of coal was mined in the Hazleton region. Today the twenty- j five or more towns in this region were ! quiet. 1 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, I 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 Sherltt Harvey of Luzerne county and who are sons ol prominent Wllkesbarre familes were arrested last night at Freeland on the charge of highway robbery. They ne 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 Mory. The Ptdander says ^ he was delivering beer at Highland and that the deputies asked him and he consented to let them ride In Ills 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 stcry Is to the effect that the Polander demanded a >ee for bring ing the deputies to Freeland and not getting 1t he sot up the cry that he had been robbed. A irowd soon 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 criven thirty miles over the mountains to Wllkesbarre. 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 w hat 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 oi not. The three men were released‘on bail after their arrival at Wllkesbarre.

English Paper* Tlilnk the I'nlted Slate* Value* China’* (loud 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, tne Chiuese 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. Ibis ir reconcilable attitude receives confir mation in many reports emanating from Shanghai. One of these Is that us 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 had Boxers. It says that if the rebel Boxers still continue to assemble they will be dealt with summarily. Another report ways that the edict frankly declares that no executions can he 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 Full 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 Loh, former gover nor of Kiaug Su province, a Manchu and bitterly anti-forelgn. has been ap pointed to succeed Li Hung Chang at Canton. According to various accounts of the Pei Tang affair the Chinese bad an ticipated that, the allies would attack in force. The Britishers 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 halt 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 'his 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 lllco Want* Pay. HAVANA, Sept. 24.—Porto Rico's demand on Cubf r the repayment of more than advanced to Spain to conduct miL .perations against Cuba, has been tv . ource 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 Alien of Porto Rico, togeth- | er with a memorandum, couched in diplomatic language, pointing out that he Is unable to take any action in the I matter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Tho United States government has made full and complete answers to the vari ous Inquiries that have been addressed to It by the powers relative to the Chi nese troubles. Moreover, It has gone farther and has made a disclosure of ull Its purposes and as a member gf the administration puts it. It has thrown Its hand open on the table. The action was taken after the cabinet meeting today anti a luncheon at the White House that followed served to reduce the decision to an ultimate form. At 3:30 o’clock Minister Wu called by appointment upon Acting Secretary Hill and was handed a memorandum embodying the response of the United States government to tho request of Prince Chlng that Mr, Conger or some other person be Immediately empow ered to begin negotiations with the Chinese authorities for a final settle ment. The minister came away with a dissatisfied expression upon his face. Next came M. Thiebaut, the French charge. A few minutes’ conversation sufficed to Impart to him orally an an swer to his own verbal Inquiry. Then Baron Sternberg, the German charge, who had been notified of the readiness of the State department to make answer to the German note, call ed and was given that answer. He hastened away to cable it to his gov ernment. The department then sent the an swer to the Russian inquiry forward ed by messenger and wired cablegrams containing the substance of the an swers to its diplomatic representatives abroad. Thu3 Hosed one of the most Interesting and Important phases of the Chinese entanglement. The State department absolutely re fused to make any statement as to th* nature of the answers, taking the ground that to do so would be a vio lation of the diplomatic proprieties. However, as it was calculated that all of these answers will h ive reached their destination abroad by tomorrow it was promised that the text of the communications should be given to the press tomorrow forenoon. The ministers and charges who received the messages here adopted the same secretive attitude. The president him self, it seems, had given instructions that every effort should be made to maintain secrecy in this matter until tho official disclosure. With all this it Is known that the German proposal that negotiations with China he deferred until the Chi nese responsible for the Pekin outrages have been surrendered to the allies has failed of approval by our govern ment. The declination has been con veyed in a manner that cannot give offense, but (t is i relieved tt.at the Uni ted States government cannot recog nize thp principle that a country may be called upon to surrender its own citizens to a foreign power or powers for punishment. The government d res not relinquish the Idea of the ul timate punishment of th-* offenders when they are properly identified, but it does not believe that the pursuit of this object should put a stop to all ne gotiations.

Civil Authorities Amuuito ( ImrgA o f Mo nii-l|>ul A IT.it n* lit (Aivcolmi, GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 21.—'This evening Mayor Jones proclaimed that martial law would cease at noon to morrow and the civil authorities would assume charge of municipal af fairs. This was done at the sugges tion of General Scurry, who expressed the belief that conditions had reached such a stage that the civil authori ties were ablo to cope with the situa tion. This, however, does not mean the immediate withdrawal of the mi lltla. They are to co-operate with the city officials in the enforcement of ord» r and will continue on duty as a part of tli# government. Since niurtitf! law has prevailed In Galveston good order has resulted. It was feared In some quarters that when It became known thaj the militia had given way to civl!*nuthority the looting and rob bery which began after the storm and continued until the declaration of mar tial law might recommence. The mil itary forces will be used as a check on this character of crime, however, and will in nil probability remain here for the next twenty days. The shooting of negroes by military men for looting has had a most salu tary effect and has In a measure ter rorized the offenders; still there are cases of robbery reported daily, which are being dealt with severely. The stencil arising from the bodies beneath the ruins is becoming un bearable. Today orders were Issued to impress every aulo-bodled man for street cleaning service. Over t>00 men were secured today and irtider this order are fully 2,000 men engaged In the work, Still this force Is‘not suffi cient und more men must he secured. Men for this service are to he Import ed from the interior of the state. The work of removing the dead from the debris still continues. The pres ent method of disposition Is crema tion and as each corpse is taken out it is thoroughly saturated with coaloil and thrown into a blazing tire. This plan of incineration has been entirely successful and the bodies are ouiekly destroyed. Funeral pyres are blazing throughout the city and In this way Galveston is ridding itself ot tho dead.

LONDON, Sept. 21.—“Authentic ac counts have been received here,” says the Moscow correspondent of th" Stan dard, “of a horrible massacre at lilag ovestchensk, which was undoubtedly carried out under direct orders from the Russian authorities, which then let loose the tide of slaughter through out Amur. “The entire Chinese population of 5,000 souls was escorted out of town to a spot five miles up the Amur, and then beifig led in hatches of a few hundred to the river hank, were or dered to cross over to tie Chinese side. No boats were provided and the river Is a mile wide. The Chinese were flung alive into the streurn uhul were stabbed or shot at the least re sistance, while Russian volunteers, who lined the bank, clubbed or shot any who attempted to land, No one escaped alive.

GERMANY'S CIRCEMR CONSIDERED Government at IWrlln Atk* for ami Will (irt Imineillate Heply—lloth limits anil Pranee signify Tlielr Inteutloci tv to H« gin Negotiation*. WASHINGTON, Sept 20.—With the Germuu proposition to postpone peace negotiations with China until tho per sons responsible for the Pekin out rages are punished and the French and Russian notification of the purpose of those governments to begin such nego tiations at once, awaiting him, the president found much matter of impor tance to dispose of on his urrhal in Washington from canton this morning. He lost no time in notifying the offi cials he desired to consult on his re turn and the day was largely given up to private discussion. Although it was announced that no answers to the Ger man note would be ready today, tt ap peared that the president, after tulklng over the situation with Attorney Gen eral (iriggs, aiding Secretary Hill and Asslstknt Secretary Adee, had arrived at a conclusion as to the nature of the response that should be made. Mr. A<me spent (lie afternoon consulting Acting Secretary Hill and In drafting the note of response, tmt all informa tion as to Its nature was refused Ht the state department. It was said that the note is to be gone over carefully at a further meeting between the presi dent and such of his cabinet us ure in the city. The German government apparently Is anxious for a speedy answer, us Huron Sternberg pnid two visits to the stole department after the German note was delivered. The Chinese minister also was twice at the state department today seeking to influence the govern ment not to agree to the Joint action proposed in the German note. The conclusion reached from the day’s de velopments is that the powers are di vided as to China and that at present Germany and Great Hrltuln stand aligned against France and Russia, while both sides are ardently seeking the adherence of the t’nttcd States government. The Issue appears to he made up in such shape as to dismiss further hope of obtaining that har mony of uction respecting China that the president has been seeking so far and the point apparently has been reached where the I nited States must takes Hides or at once proceed to act entirely independent of other powers in reaching a settlement. The Chinese government Is urging the latter course upon the state department, but thus far there has been a restraining force in the desire to avoid making the United States the first of the powers to change front iu the dealings with China. Attention was directed in some cjuar ters to the fact that in the very begin ning, in the note of July 3, Secretary Hay had notified the Chinese govern ment that he expected that the guilty parties in connection with the outrages would be punished. However, Pis de mand was not made a condition pre cedent to negotiations. Now the be lief is growing that If tile United States government is forced to a speedy de cision as to the German proposition tt may resort to direct negotiations with tlie Chinese government and, having settled its scores with that govern ment, withdraw from China, giving notice to the allied powers there as to the arrangement made, in ord°r that that arrangement should n main in full force and unaffected by any settlement that the allies may make tlieicafter as to China.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.—If, as President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers claimed last night, 112,000 of the 141,000 mine workers in the Penn sylvania anthracite coal fields were idle yesterday, it is certain that this number has been cor.eid-ribly aug mented today by additions to the strikers’ ranks. Reports from the four big districts embracing the hard coal region are to the effect that few er men are at work today than were working yesterday and that colliers that worked full-handed yesterday are badly crippled or shut down today. The weather has grown much colder since yesterday and this change is greeted with Joy by the mine work ers, who believe it will greatly in crease the demand for coal an l thus force an early adjustment of the diffi culties between them and their em ployers. Talk of arbitration Is so per sistent that the hope is growing that ibis method of settling the strike will finally be adopted, although the mine owners declare they will deal only with their employes as Individuals, and the strike leaders sny they will Insist upon formal recognition of the union. This difference would appear sufficiently strong to keep employer nnd employe apart forever If persisted in. One little band of miners In the Wy oming valley, those of the West End foal company, at Mocana'iua, number ing a few hundred men, stand out prominently as the only men at work out of nearly 90,000 In the laickawan na ami Wyoming regions Efforts to have them Join the strikers have fail ed. They say they have always been treated kindly, they have no griev ance, ami they will, therefore, remain loyal to their employers, THE DEAD Will RIACH 6,000. Thi* Property !.»•• of 933,000,000 Blot ConHlileml Too Hlgli. GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 19.—Re luctantly one Is forced to the opinion thut the number of dead, which had been placed at 5,000, is too low aud that the number will go as high as 6,000, and perhaps even above that number. The list wtll reach the total of 4,437 with additions sent out today. In addition to all this, It must be re membered that only a comparatively rt-uW number of the negroes who per ished in the storm have been report ed. After considering all these facts one can hardly do anything else but conclude that the total to be finally reported will l>e above 8,000. Every one has tried to be as cxmaervatlve as possible in making estimates, both as to the losses of life and property, but it is not. possible to reiterate the for mer estimate of 5,000. Judge Mann stated today that in his opinion the list yvould go bh high aa 7,000. The exact number, of course, will never be definitely known. One can only hope that these larger estimates will prove too high, and that at least a part of the horror of the work of the storm will not be so Btrongly in evidence. There is no deveiopment which would lead to the lielief that an esti mate of a property loss of $22,500,000 is too high. While one occasionally finds a business man whose property has not suffered greatly, it must lie stated that this class is hopelessly in the minority and that large losses aro the rule. Ht.
