VICTOIl. Colo , Sept. 26. (Special Tele
gram.) An outrageous assault on Gov
ernor Theodoio Roosevelt by a band of
Bryan hoodlums occurred today as the
New Yorkor was about to take the train
for Crlpplo Creek. As a result the gov
crnor was bruised n trllle. but not seri
ously Injured, despite the fact that rock
wcro thrown In profusion. Throughout
the entire trying proceeding the repub
lican nominee retlned his oiiuanlmlty and
refused to be surrounded by a devoted j and John Anderson, claiming California us
band of former members of his rough their home, nrrliid today cu the sUamship

The Hoosevelt train arrived at Victor he went to the Tianavnal In 1S!U. And. r
bout C o'clock and was met by a largo son says he left Chicago In 1S37 for Jo
crowd which Indulged In cheers and hisses i htitinesbiti g nnd tngngid as a mln.r. Wh n
for tho visitor. No trouble was encoun
tered on tho march to tho hall, whero
tho governor delivered his speech, but
there was considerable disturbance there,
hoottngs and catcalls Interrupting the ad
dress.' Trouble started when the party
left the hall to take tho train for Cripple
Creek. The street In front of tho build
ing was lllled with a dense, Impenetrable
crowd, wljlch resumed the Jeering of tho
republican candidate. A party of small
boys and young toughs, hired for the pur
pose, commenced u fusillade of rocks and
atalo eggs, which started a general melee.
Partisans of both McKlnlcy and llryan
seemingly had anticipated such an occur
rence. Furies In tlir Villi,
Two drunken prostitutes appeared,
shrilly screaming, bearing a Uryan ban
ner with which they swnyed unsteadily
through tho crowd toward the Roosevelt
party, which consisted of Senator Wolcott,
A. M. Stevenson, (leneral Irving Hale and
other prominent men. Their Journey was
brief, for tho banner was wrenched from
their hands by Joe Quln, a disreputable bill
poster of Victor, who tore It to pieces and
with tho polo In hand broke through tho
mounted escort In khaki uniforms and
struck Roosevelt n violent blow In tho
breast. Bcforo he could disentangle him
self from tho ineleo which Immediately
followed, J'ostma.ster Dau Sullivan of'
Cripple" Creek knocked him down. The
rough rider escort was somewhat broken
by tho attack which then commenced, but
again closed around the governor's party
and attempted to plow their way through
thn mob, but Colonel Roosevelt Insisted
on leading tho march himself. Sherman
Dell of Colorado Springs, nn old favorite
of Roosevelt In the Rough Riders, pushed
his former superior back and attempted
to lead tho advance, but he was thrust
asldo by tho New Yorker despite his at
tempts to prevent.
"Stand aside, Hlr, I am your colonel,"
said tho governor In a peremptory touo
anil Hell stepped back.
With his lips tightly shut Roosevelt
walked through tho crowd to the station,
tho Rough Riders Hanking him and open
ing the way through the crowd. Then
tho mob turned Its atentton to the local
campaign club, which was acting as a
mounted escort to Us visitor. Men were
pulled from their horses and rolled In the1
mud, but tho station was finally reached I

Tho entire population appeared to seo the
New York governor and shake his hand.
.Manltnu was the next stop , largo crowd
was assembled hero to listen to the five

wero many women with flags and flower,
which were liberally bestowed on tho
travelers. The train then moed on to
Divide, where there was a pause: a call
was also mado at C.lllolle and Independ
ence. At Victor, a few miles from Cripple
Creek, among tho mines, a most unique
and demonstrative crowd assembled. In
this place four years ago twenty-seven Mr
Klnley votes wero cast. At present a Mc
Klnlcy and Itosevelt club has been formed
numberlng-fiOO members, with tho numbers
Increasing. Governor Roosovelt spoke Int
the Armory hall, which was filled. There
wero many republicans in the audience, but
thero were also apparently mnny demo

polsy demonstrations. Governor Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. It Is stated In
diplomatic circles that definite and official
information has been received that Prince
Tuan has been appointed president of the
privy council of China, Instead of grand sec
retary, ns was first reported, and that a
number of other Chinese ofilclals prominent
In the recent uprising have been similarly
honoted. Tho Chlntse minister has not been
advised of Prince Tuan's appointment, but
ho epressed tho belief after calling at the
Stato department today that the report
probnrly was true. The position of presi
dent of the privy council Is sold to be ono of
tho foicmost Importance, similar to that of
secretary of state or premier.
Clinnee nl Tien Tln,
One belated dispatch from General Chaf
fee relative to conditions In Pekln on the
21st Instant was made public today. It Is
apparent tint our government Is again In a
waiting attitude, after having made the Im
portant move toward a reduction of the
American troops In China announced yes
terday. General Chaffee had not re elved
the department's Instructions when ho sent
his message mr.de public today, but with
out doubt has It now. His offer to escort
I.I Hung Chang was In conformity with the
expected purpore of the State department
to facilitate In every proper manner the
Journey of tho Chlnoso viceroy to Pekln
Still, It Is now regarded as Just ns well
that the offer was declined nnd the respon
sibility for Li's safety left with the Rus
sians. Tho dispatch has no date showing that It
came from Pekln, but War department ofil
clals aro satisfied that It was sent from the
Chinese capital. It Is as follows:
TAKl", Sept. 2.Y -Adjutant General,
Washington: September 21. N. -M. Leave
for Tien Tsln this afternoon. Will be nl
sent several days. General Wilson remains
here. LI Hung Chang nt Tien Tsln. Under
stand he starts here soon; have offered htm
escort, declined. Country very quiet. Good
order In Pekln. CHAFFEE.
CoiiKt-r' liiNtriiftliiu AVItlilirlil.
Tho instruction to Minister Conger to
establish relations with LI nnd Prince
Chlng Is still held up here. It Is begin
ning to appear that tho purpose of tho
delay Is to ascertain more dearly the
plans of the powers which are Interested
ns well as our own und within which
Mr. Conger was to endeavor to bring about
negotiations for a settlement. If tt shall
appear that thero Is a disposition on the
part of any consldnrnblo portion of thorn
to reject In advance the well meant efforts
of tho United States to bring about a
conference nnd negotiations In which they
could participate "on equal terms with our
own government with the purpose, of ter
minating the Chinese dltllculllos, then Mr.
Conger's Instructions may require recasting.
It" might bo tegarded as useless for him
to arrange for u meeting of the powers
with China which the former do not care
to attend owing to cntiro different pur
poses from those animating the United
Stntes and there probably Is no disposition
to subject our minister to humiliation by
a Hat failure which might bo anticipated.
It also Is possible that the news rela
tive to the advancement of Prince Tuan
to a position whero he might Influence
the negotiations is regarded as worthy
of attention and that our government may
delay proceedings as long ns he stands
In tho way. Tho Stato department has not
been officially Informed of Prince iSmu's
promotion.
Ant nt War With Clilun.
It la believed that General Chaffee, being
at Tien Tsln, ha9 by this tltuo ncolved In
structions cabled him yesterday relative
to tho reduction of his force In China. If
he returns to Pekln to oxecuto tho order
It will be Monday at least before he can
begin the movement toward Tien Tsln.
It Is thought here thut with n view to
preventing any possible misunderstanding
he has already acquainted tho mllltnry rep
tesentatlves of tho powers at Tien Tsln of
tho projected withdrawal of the American
forces. This Is deemed necessary because
of tho possibility of the appearance of Field
Marshal von Waldersen nt Taku or Tien Tsln
at any moment. It Is desirable that the
change of the status of tho American troops
shall havo tnken place before he nppears on
tho scene.
Tho rapid trend of evonts In China to
wnrd nctual war. which was regarded as
certain to follow a lefusal on tho part if
Germany and some of the other continental
powers to enter Into negotiations for a set
tlement with China, Is regnided here as
Justifying the decision of tho Stnto depart
ment to withdraw tho American troops, now
that tho purpose for which these troops
wero sent into China has been accomplished.
The department has held from the first that
a stato of war did not exist with the Chinese
government, and it secured th assent of
overyone of tho powers to that proposition.
It etlll does not believe there Is sufficient
ground for changing that position nnd re
fuses to be drawn Into war without such
ground.
So ClmnKP In Military I'Imiin.
As to tho military plans already laid
down, they will remain unchanged, It Is
said here. If any power or powers sel.e
upon Pekln the American minister will
still remain there nnd General Chaffee's
ligation guard will stay with him. but tak
ing no part In the war. Tho power In pos
session ran find no valid objection to the
presence of this legation guard. At Con
stantinople the legations and embassies all
have their cevasses or legation guards, nnd
while they are not numerous the principle
Is recognized nnd mere numbers does not
affect It.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2U, StaMstl- s have
been compiled nt tho census bureau baBeil
on the population of large cities which
have been announced up to the present
time which demoiiHtrates that the Kr. larg
est cities In thn United States numerically
Increased In population from 1S!I0 to 11(03
nlmost exactly ns they did between 1H0
nnd IS',10. These 1C3 cities Increased tholr
population 1,706,107 from 1880 to 1S!I0 nnd
4,r,27.'J53 from IbliO to 1300, or Just 78,151
less during the latter thun In the former
p' riod. Of ccuise, when the aggregate per
centages of increase of population of these
155 iltlcs during these two perloi's are coin
pared they show that the percentage of
Increase was considerably lower in the last
ten years because tho liicreasu Is compared
with a larger population in IP00 than It
was In 1S90.
The fact that numerically thn Increase
of the population of theso cltlrs has como

that tho rates of increase of tho various

answer. Tho meeting wns held In ihe. fore
neon nnd this aftornoon the committee
composed if employes i.f the several Markle
mines, with the exception of libmale.
which la completely tied up, made known
to the firm the decision of tho employis.
They accept the (Inn's proposition In re
gard to the hoisting men from the slopo,
acquiesce In tho refusal to pay the en
gineers by the hour and waut to further
arbitrate all the other grievances except
those relating to semi-monthly pny aud
the lwcntlun of powder houses, whLh have
been adjusted by the nnswer of Markle &
Co.
The men also decided to remain nt work
pending the arbitration negotiations m.d
agreed to nsk the firm to "deduct from the
pay of each family that returns to work
their quota for tho payment of the ar
bitrator selected by the men."
Judging only by the talk of the men It
looks as If n considerable number of men
will not go to work tomorrow morning.
The force of men at each of the Marklo
slopes Is now very short handed. The firm
for tho tlmo being refuses to discuss any
thing In connection with Its future ac
tions. The request made yesterday by Sheriff
Harvey for troops, although not refused,
was not granted by Governor Stone. Tho
sheriff and the state officials at Harrisburg.
however, have an understanding and If
thn necessity arises soldier will be thrown
into this region In short order. If this
bo done, the first to arrive would be one
of the commands now stationed nt Shen
andonh. There were no disturbances reported In
this reglcn today. Rumors of contemplated
marches of strikers are ronstnntly in cir
culation, but as far as can he learned there
is 110 truth In any of them.
With ngard to the general strike situa
tion In tho Lehigh Valley It cannot be
r,ald thut many great gains were made
on either side today. Some who quit wort;
yesterday nt the Tomhlcken, Derringer and
Cownn mines returned todny. The Lohlgh
Valley Coal company reports moro men
working today than auy tlmo since the
strike br-zan. v
The labor leaders cUlm nxcc'slon to their
ranks from both thn mines at Ecklny and
La tllmcr. The dally production of coal
In the district Is steadily decreasing. This
Is shown from the shipments of eonl from
the region today, which Indicate a falling
off of moro than 75 per cent.
