HAHLETON , Pa. . Sept. 21. There is absolutely no change In the coal strike situation In the Lchlgh valley today and the custoniaryUtimlny qul- etude prevall"d. ' This afternoon the mnplojcs of the Calvin I'nnlee ' mine met nt Lattlrner and the United Mine Workers held' mans meetings at Eploy and Beaver Meadows. 'lonlght the presidents of the three anthracite dls- trlcts , comprising the entire hard coal fields of Pennsylvania , hid a cdnfor- once with President Mitchell f&r 'the purpose of discussing the situation as. It now piovnlls In the anthracite re- lon. During normal times a colliery hero and there works on Suhday , but 'today ' not a pound of coal was mined In 'the Hnzleton legion. Today the twenty- five or more towns in this region were quiet. Many minors , accompanied by their I families , visited neighboring villages to see lelatlves or friends , as Is their custom on Siinday , while most others remained indoors at their homes. All the mining towns hud their full quota at the churches and It was a i subject of remark1 by stinng'erH now In | the legion that an unusually large proportion of the population attended church. The women a-id children , however , were in n 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 Luzerno county and who are sons 01 prominent Wilkeslmrro fnniHeswe're i.rrested last night at Freeland on th" charge of highway'robbery. ' They no HamlHoa Farnam , VanBurcn B. Howard and A. R. Shoemaker , Jr. The mon are ac cused of robbing u Polish liquor deal er of $107 In cash. There are two sides to the story. The Polander says he was delivering beer nt Highland and that the deputies asked him and he consented to let them ride In his wag on to Frceland. 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 t Polander demanded a 100 for bring ing 1 the deputies to Freeland and not getting It he set up the cry that ho liad l been robbed. A crowd 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 wore arlven 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 waa still waiting to roe what dis position was to bo made ( .f the depu ties. There is an exceedingly strojig feeling against deputies In this region , bo they accused of crime 01 not. The three men were released on ball after their arrival at Wllkesbarre. 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. Benjamrn James of the national ex ecutive board , said today that ho ex- pocted the number of strikers will be greatly increased tomorrow. lie pre dicts that a number of mines which have been running pretty full during the last week will bo tied up completely tomorrow.

He was shown the answer made hy 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 tie wag not responsible for the statement made In the Van couver Interview. Ho 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 were drawn by the Spanish. Ho explained that It was im possible to sink a nhlp by hitting it above the water line. Admiral Dewey , had , however , compelled the Spaniards to sink their ships and that was Just as effective as sinking thorn with shells. Personally ho ha > l the highest } possible respect for Admiral Dewey and his great achievement and ho greatly regretted that anything 10j j been attributed to him vhlch might ! tend to destroy the glor' ot the ad miral's deeds.

AMERICAN REPLY IN LONDON.I 1'nperii Think thu United Htutei Valuta CliJniiV ( lood Will Too Highly. LONDON , Sept. 21. The morning papers uro too fully occuplexl with the general < election campaign to bestow much attention on the Chinese prob lem. Thn Standard , which dlm-imso ? editorially the replies of the United States government , says : "The policy thus laid down implies the existence nt Washington of a very exaggerated estimate of the good will ole the Chinese inlcrs. It Is to be fear ed that the action of the fulled States will tend to weaken the influence of the alllns , and for this reason it is greatly tc be regretted. " According to the Pekln correspond ent of the Daily News , wiring Septem ber 10' , tne Chinese declare most pos itively that the empiess dowager and the emperor will In no case return to the imperial palnrc In Pekln , us they hold that it has been debccr&tcd by the Intrusion of barbarians. This Ir- iGConcllable attitude receives confir mation in many reports emanating from Shanghai. One of these is that 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 Boxe"rs 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 Ins resumed his former ascendancy aic found in the Shanghai reports of his promotion and in the statement from the same quarter that General Tung Full Slang lias been appointed generalissimo ot the northern Chinese ( uniles and Prince dialing , general conimander-ln-chlef of the Boxers , has been made a grand councillor. It Is also reported that Loll , 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 Pel Tnng affair the Chinese had an ticipated that the allies would attack In force. The Britishers and others who left Tien Tsln with the intention of cutting off the retreat of the Pel Tang garrison , arrived too late. They were only hah 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 Austrlans ample notice and railway accommoda- tions. Advices to the Standard from Shang hai place the losses of the allies be fore Pel Tang nt 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 ofllcers to pieces.

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 fn diplomatic language , pointing out th.it he is unable to take any action in the matter. In Oiient of millions. SAN FRANCISCO , Cal , Sept. < J2. Three Russians , named Marie Gurcho- witch , Je.1 Fleldmnn and Robert Schoub , have reached this city In search of a phantom fortune of $35- 000,000. 1 Eight years ago they saw iu the Warsaw Courier a statement thit one Yeakob Massok Hnrowltz , whose heirs they claim to be , had died in America , leaving the sum mentioned. Later the story was repea'ed by a dy ing millionaire in Chentchin , and search la being made for the treasure. Slfk In Chhui. WASHINGTON , Sept. 24.

It was ex plained today at the British foreign oflice that "It was found inexpedient for the powers to accept the Russian withdrawn ! proposition , " as they had reliable Information that "the Boxers were ready to rooecupy Pekln as soon as the allies retired.

I Bands of Experienced Men Oloso on Trail of Train Kobbera , CANADA IS CEilTAIN OF CAPTURE IIor e of Itiindlts Iluve Hern Hlczni ! And riih'ltlvrH Seeklnc to little In llriiilly Timbered Mountains of Colorado Matters , OMAHA , Neb. , Sept. 19. W. T. Can ada , chief of the special service of the Union Pacific , has returned from Wyo ming , where he has been In charge of the pursuit of the robbers who dyna mited an express car on n westbound Union Pacific train recently. Chief Canada is absolutely confident that the capture of the robbers will bo effected In the near future. "We already have captured their horses and have they locked up , " said ( Chief Canada , "and these men are now being trailed by men who are as fa miliar with the mountains in which the robbers are hiding as they are themselves. One posse secured the horses about twenty miles south of Dlxon , Colo. , shortly after they had been abandoned by tne bandits , In or der that they might the better elude their pursuers by secreting themselves in the heavily timbered mountains. The scene of the pursuit now is In the mountains where the state of Wyo ming , Colorado and Utah converge. "These fellows will be captured. There is no question about the out come. It Is only a matter of time and such diligence is being maintained by the men who are trailing , . , 'c bandits that they can't keep away much longer. So far ns wo have been able to learn there are only three men In the gang. The number has been variously report ed at three , four and five , but from the best accoun 3 from the men who were at tne scene of the holdup there were only three. It is possible that one or even two of tnem figured in the WIIcox train robbery. There were sis in that gang and all but two have been disposed of. These two may , perhaps , have been in this last rob bery , but I hardly think so , as they would hardly have the nerve to figure In another holdup , knowing , as they probably do , the fate of their partners in the former affair. If these are the same ones we will merely be killing * two birds with one sfone when we capture them , as this last affair has not caused us to relax our efforts toward running down tiie pair who partici pated In the Wilcox holdup and are Qtlll at large. Sncnr Hoots Doing Nlcrly. OMAHA , Neb. , Sept. 19. The sugar beets planted by the company formed of South Omaha business men are do ing nicely and a full crop is exoected. It is estimated now that the crop will run from fifteen to twenty tons to the acre. No contracts for the crop have been signed ns yet , as two factories are in the market for the yield. The Ames Beet Sugar Works will buy the entire crop at the price mentioned early in the spring , but there seems a disposi tion to let the beets go to the new Beet Sugar and Chicory company , which Is now established at the former Home of the Good Shepherd , west of Cuda- hy's. This new company wants all the beets It can get and Is willing to pay n fair price for the prorfuct. At this fac tory a portion of the beets will no used for sugar and the residue will be worked up into chicory. The process now In use permits the us'.wg of nil of the residue for the manufacture of chicory instead of leaving a large pro portion of pulp , ns formerly , which was fed to cattle. It is the intention of the managers ot this new concern to endeavor to induce each farmer In the vicinity of South Omaha to agree to cultivate one acre of beets next spring. If each farmpr will do this and the crop is any ways fair the factory here can be kept running for some time. As the growing of beets on the island is nn assured success It is more than likely that the same South Omaha company will again contract - tract for the land and continue the cul tivation of sugar beets.
