LONDON, Oct. 13. The Times iuv
the following from Hong Kong, dettd
yesterday: "The situation in the Wei
Chou prefecture is serious. In six
districts the cities are in the hands
of the rebels. If an outbreak should
occur in Canton its suppresion would
be difficult."
The reformer. Sun Yat Sen, accord
ing to dispatches from Canton, has
unfurled the reform flag in the import
ant town of Wei Chou, on East River.
..This act has given rise to considerable1
. excitement in military circles in Can
ton, as it is believed that the object of
the reformers in laising their flag at
Wei Chou is to denude Canton troops,
so that they can seize the city.
Dr. Morrison,' wiring to the Times
from Pekin, October 11, ays: The
Cninese ofucials declare Chat stringent
orders uave been sent to provincial
officials not to oppose the advance ol
the allied column." o
"It is reported here on good author
ity, says the Shanghai correspondent
of the Times, writing yesterday, "that
Emperor Mutsuhito, in his reply to
Emperor Kwang Su's appeal, counsels
an immediate return to Pekin, the ex
pulsion of the reactionaries and tae ap
pointment of able statesmen."
The Times publishes today Dr. Alor
'Tieon's man account of the events that
. led up to the siege of Pekin; v Hesays
the Uoxers only became Important
after the German occupancy of Kiao
Chau. The Chinese were ascribing tle
disastrous drought and famine with
other troubles to the judgment of
heaven for the usurpation of .the em
press dowager. She seised vpom the
Hibxer movement, according vto Dr.
Morrison, as a means of diverting
popular wrath from herself to the for
eigners and appointed Yu Hsieu,
founder of the boxer sect, to be gov
ernor of Shang Tung in March, 1899.
Thus under imperial protection the
Boxers preached the doctrine that it
was the foreigners and not the cm
press dowager who had aroused the
wrath of the gods.
"As if in answer to the Boxers came
the anti-foreign outrages," continues
the correspondent, "culminating in the
destruction of the railway station at
Feng Aai. The long awaited rains
came on May 2S and were regarded ab
a sign of the agreement of the higher
powers with their work.
"Three days later the foreign lega
tion guards arrived. The Boxers be
came increasingly audacious and thing?
went from bad to worse until the le
gations were ordered to quit Pekin and
Baron von Kettler was killed. There
was not a shadow of doubt that his
murder was deliberately planned by
the authorities and executed by an offi
cer in the uniform cf the imperial
troops."

of its plant in Sioux City. F. R. Bur

NEW YORK, Oct 12. A dispatch
to the Journal and Advertiser from
Rome says: The anarchist. Bertolanli
arrested at Milan as a suspected ac
complice of Bresci, has made a con
fession about anarchist plots.
"I have known about tlit.se plots for

coming from America to kill the king;
but they paid no attention to my let

kill kings and chiefs of states. One
of them' was allotted to kill McKinley,
or Bryan during the presidential cam
paign. I do not know the man who
was assigned to this work.
"The Chicago plot was similar to
that hatched at Paterson. I believe
plots with the same object have been
organized in the United States.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct 12. It
was said at the state department to
day that no overtures had been made
recently by the United btates govern
ment to Denmark for the purchase oi
the Danish West Indies. The last ne
gotiations, which occurred in the late
spring, were suspended, owing to the
discovery by the Danish officials of a
feeling of hostility on the part of the
Danish people against the proposed
sale. Whatever has been accomplis..eu
since that time nas been in Denmark
and i. is inferred from the tone of the
press dispatches that the popular op
position to the transfer is diminishing.
If this be so, then the United States
government would be ready again to
discuss the subject at the point where
the negotiations were interrupted.

Minnesota and a Iowa, is holdinc its
first supreme convention in this city
and a lively fight among various aspir
ants for offices was narrowly averted
during election of officers todav. A
circular had been sent cut to the
lodges of the order by the faction on
posing the supreme officers, in which
it was asserted that the consttution
of the association had not been fol
lowed, and that the officers had em
ployed as clerks their own relatives.
In his address Supreme President E.
B. Hanley of Tipton, la., took occa
sion to deny these charges in emphat
ic language. After the convention
had gone into a committee of the
whole to investigate the charges, all
differences were amicabiy settled and
some of the old officers were re-elected.
Bunsell Sage's Suit.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 12. Russell
Sage of New York is seeking to re
cover money on some railway aid
bends by the village of Reeds, Wa
basa county, which the supreme court
says is out of existence. The supreme
court has decided that, as the result
of tinkering with the charter, the vil
lage has no corporate existence. Bonds
had been issued by the Tillage in
order to secure an extension of th
Hastings & Dakota railway. Whrn
the bonds became due they were not
paid, as there was no village in exist
ence responsible for the obligations.
The bondholders have commenced ac
tion against the township in which
Reed's citizens live.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12. The- reply
of the state department to the French
note, relative to the bases of Chinese
negotiations, was made public late to
day. It reads: t)
The Secretary'of State to the French
Charge d'Aff airs Sent to M. Thefbaut,
Oct. 9, 1900. Memorandum:' The gov-
eminent of the United States agree,
with that of France in recognising as
the object-to beobtained. Crosu the.
government of China appropriate re
paration for the past and' substantial
guarantees for the future.
' The president is glad to "perceive in
the basis of negotiations 'put forward
in the memorandum of October 4 the
spirit that has animated the. declara
tions heretofore made by all .the- pow
ers interested and would be pleased to
see the negotiations begun immediate
ly on the usual "verification of creden
tials. It may be convenient to. enum
erate the classes of the memorandum
and add some observations dictated
by the attitude of the United States in
the present circumstances:
1. The punishment of the guuty par
ties who may be designated by the
representatives of the powers at Pe
kin. The Chinese government has al
ready indicated its intention to punish
a number of those responsible for the
recent disorders. The representatives
of the powers at Pekin may suggest
additions to that list when negotia
tions are entered upon:
2. The continuance of the interdic
tion against the importation of arms.
It is not understood that this interdic
tion is to be permanent and the dura
tion of it and the details of Its regula
tion seem a proper subject of negotia
tion by the negotiators.
3. Equitable indemnities for the gov
ernments, corporations and private
individuals. This is an object desired
by all the powers. The Russian gov
ernment jhas suggested thatjn case of
protracted divergence of. views, this
matter might be commended, .to. the
consideration of the international
courtof arbitration of The Hague. The
president thinks this ' suggestion
worthy the attention of the powers.
4. The organization in Pekin of a
permanent guard for the legations.
The government of the United States
is unable to make any permanent en
gagement of this nature without au
thorization of the legislative branch,
but in the present emergency we have
stationed in Pekin an adequate lega
tion guard.
5. The dismantling of the forts at
Taku. The president reserves the ex
pression of his opinion as to this meas
ure pending the receipt of further in
formation in regard to the situation in
China.
6. The military occupation of two or
three points on the road from Tien
Tsin to Pekin. The same observation
which has been made in reference to
No. 4 applies also to this proposition.
The president is unable to commit the
United States to a permanent partici
pation in such occupation, but he
thinks it desirable that the powers
shall obtain from the Chinese govern
ment the assurance of their right to
guard their legations in Pekin and to
have the means of unrestricted access
to them whenever required.
The president believes that the gov
ernments of France and the other pow
ers will see in the reserves we have
here made no obstacle to the initiatiou
of negotiations on the lines suggested,
and he hopes it will be found practica
ble to begin such negotiations at an
early date.

HAZLETON, Pa., Oct 10. A spaeial
policeman was instantly killed; an
other wounded in the head, a striker
was probably fatally shot and ten
nonunion men were more or less in
jured at the Oneida colliery of Coxe.
Bros., in a clash between the officers
and 400 strikers this morning. The

killed:
Ralph Mills, aged 50., of Beaver
Meadow, one of the officers conveyed
in a special train early this morning
from chat place to Oneida. Ha was
shot through the back.
Wounded:
" George Keinor, aged 38, of Beaver
Meadow, also a special officer. He re
ceived shot wounds in the head, but
will recover.
Joseph Leskow, aged 38, of Shipton,
a striker, shot in groin and probably
will die.
Ten nonunion men were stoned, but
only two of them were seriously in
jured. They are: John Van Blargin
and James Tosh of Shepton. The for
mer sustained scalp, wounds and the
latter had four ribs broken.
The Oneida colliery having been in
operation since the inauguration of the
strike, the union decided early this
morning to close down the --Oneida
mines. "They gathered in groups on
the streets as early as 8 o'clock. .When
the nonunion men went to work they
were asked by the strikers to remain
at home. Some turned back, others
did not. Those who went to the col
liery were stoned. Von Blargin, one
of the nonunion employes, attempted
to pull a revolver, but the weapon was
taken from him and in the beating
he received he had several ribs broken.
This occurred just before starting time
at the mine.
The strikers remained at the col
liery all morning. As. the mine1 loco
motive used in hauling coal from the1
No. 2 and No. 3 collieries to the
Oneida breaker pulled up on the road
near the latter colliery a crowd of
women blocked the track. The women
were told by General Superintendent
Kudlich to go home. He assured, them
their husbands would ,get an increase
in wages and that their other griev
ances would be properly adjusted.
The women refused to listen and
stoned the superintendent, who was
wounded in the head.
Then the striking men-and the

IT0 SAYS TO IEAVE.
Japanese Premier Adtlsrs tb. Allies to
Withdraw from Pekla.
NEW YORK. Oct. 11. A special to
the Journal and Advertiser says:
Marquis Ito, premier of Japan and di
rector of the Japanese policy in re
spect to China, received your corre
spondent by appointment and. while
disclairaia- that hs utterances were
official, talfed freely on liie paramount
issue of the day.
"I cannot understand." he said, "whv
the powers do not convene a conference
of plenipotentiary representatives and
speedily determine a concerted policy
toward China. Though the armies
are working harmoniously, a conflict is
sure to arise if the governments neg
lect longer to arrive at a definite un
derstanding. "In my humble o'pinion the present
dynasty must be given a chance to re
turn to power and the emperor and
court must return to Pekin before any
effectual settlement can be accom
plished. "Negotiations with Li Hung Chang
and Prince Ching will be fruitless un
less ratified and enforcel by a re-es-.tablished
government, for they' alone,
no matter what they promise, cannot
carry out anything.
"Tuan, Kang Yi and Tung Fuh Sl
ang dominate the empress and say
they will, resist the foreign powers to
the deatb if they are ignored. It is
impossible to separate them from the
empress. If the attempt were 'made
by force the emperor und empress
would undoubtedly disappear alto
gether. "Pekin should be evacuated, the em
press aad court permitted to return
and negotiations should come after
ward. The foreign powers -should
withdraw to the, coast and hold their
forces there pending final settlement
"Further aggressive measures will
plunge the whole empire into war and
chaos will reign for years, trade will
be ruined and life protected only at
tremendous cost
"War with China would be the great
est disaster of the century, for no one
nation could conquer it "ingle-handed
and all the world would be plunged in
strife.
The emperor Is weak, dominated
entirely by the empress and Tuan.
The viceroys, I thnk, would fight If
partition .of .China were attempted.
"China must be" given a ehance to
rehabilitate itself and punish the In
stigators of he insurrection." "

SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct. It. The
srlking miners held an .immense, pa
rade here this! afternoon. 15,000 be
log in line. The procession was re
viewed by President Mitchell and
others.
President Mitchell was eathaslas
tically received when he arose to ad.
drees the- assemblage. He spoke ot
the enthusiasm displayed by the men
throughout the anthracite region and
went Into the situation as it now
Lstandik I referring loathe, prospect
ive enaing oi tne stride, ne ww. ,
"Every other strike that has taken
place Jn the anthracite region has
been declared off by your oncers.
Heretofore, when men went on strike
they remained out for a time and
then the chief executive or the exec
utive board declared the strike on
without consulting the wishes of. the
strikers I want to say, as I have
said before, that this strike will never
end until the miners through dele
gates in convention end it for them
selves. We have called a convention
and you men are Invited to-send dele
gates there. Yoou are invited to pass
judgment on the operators' proposi
tion. If you believe that they act in
good faith; if you believe 10 per cent
to be enough; if you believe that they
will pay the-10 per cent Tor a year,
then you must- deciide whether to re
turn to work. If, on the other hand,
vni reject the offer and continue on
strike John Mitchell will be there to
help you do it. I do not expect that
this one strike will eradicate all the
wrongs' from -which you suffer. I do
not believe that the accumulation of
forty years of injustice can be wiped
out at once, but I do believe that you
have established an organization here
that with each succeeding year will
give you improved conditions of em
ployment." Interviews with prominent operat
ors today elicited a uniform declara
tion that no further consesskms or
modifications of the present offer will
be made and that the miners mutt
take it or leave it just as it stands.
They say it is plain and complete and
contains all they can cr will concede.
The 10 per cent Increase means that
every man in the region Is to have'
$1.10 for the work for which they
formerly received $1, the operators
say. The powder matter is simply
a matter of bookkeeping. Instead of
giving the miners 10 per cent increase
flat he will have his credit increased,
say 3 per cent, and from this debit
side will be substracted 7 per cent of
whatever percentage of expense it is
found the difference in the cost of his
powder amounts to. The purpose is
simply to put an end to the howling
about powder being sold at exorbitant
prices. Powder is the basis of the
wage scale, it i3 explained, and to
decrease its cost is to increase the
wages.
In this region a decrease of $1.23 in
a keg of powder means a 7 per cent
decrease in the miner's expenses.
Therefore when he has his expenses
reduced 7 per cent he has his wages
lncreasd'a like amount The other 3
per cent will be made up by Increasing
the allowance per car for cutting and
loading. Where a miner gets $1 a car
he will, under the new scale, get $1.03
1-3 a car. His net earnings will be
the same whether he gets the Increase
flat or by figuring on the decrease in
powder.
