The United Btate will cer tainly receive as good treatment as any power In the commerc al and Industrial de velopment of the Chinese empire. As an Illustration of the Imperial feeling toward the United StRtes, you can say th-t when I returned to Pekin with the recent Chinese mission to Germany the emperor and dowager empress expressed to me their kratltude for the good behavior of the American troops at -Pekln and their ap preciation of America's attitude generally.

He had held the Important post of secretary to three ot the last foreign missions, and had just received a high dec orationthe blue button. He already held the brevet red button, which Is a higher distinction at court, but the blue button carries with It higher privileges when the bearer leaves Pekin.

Now, however, . he is In formed that he Is to come to Pekln. The data of his departure. has not been set, as It depends on tha arrival here of Liang Chen Tung, who Is to succeed him, from London.

The United States authorltlea, recognising tha Intensity and bltternasa of hla fft.-llna- among the Filipino, and at the same time Being- aesiroua or acting with the Yno.t scrupulous falrneaa toward tha church, were willing to arrange fur the purchase of the church lands by tne government, if the church authorities would withdraw the friars , who ara not now, and for years have not been, performing their religious functions among the people, and who would replace them by other members of tha church who might take up with greater succeaa the highly necessary religious work wnicn mey are no longer ania to perform.

If, on the other hsnd, the cardinal com mittee which is dealing with this Im portant matter, decides not to accept the terms proffered or tt Is not prepared to make a Anal answer, tha governor will still proceed on his way and tha negotiations will be auspended. This decision on the part of Secretary Root prqbably Is the most Important outcome of hla recent trip to Oyster Bay, where the subject was dis cussed with the president. It does not follow that Governor Tatt'a resumption of his Journey without signing the pspers of sale and withdrawal means the absolute abandonment of the negotia tions on those points. Technically they will be regarded aa merely auspended and so open to resumption at any moment when either of the principals baa change of mind sufficient to warrant a new proposition. Meanwhile there will be no change of the status of the friar orders In the Philip pines. Their lands will remain in the pos session of the Insular government and the several hundred friars who are tarrying In Manila as charity charges uoon other branches ot the church, probably will re main there or gradually find their way to another country. ' MEN BACK AT WORK (Continued from First Page.) strikers were to meet In the forenoon to dlsct.es the situation. . There was much doubt aa to what the strikers' answer tb the unspoken question would be. Committees reported last night that agreements had been settled on be tween the committees and the Lake Shore and' Michigan- Southern, the Illinois Cen tral and the Northwestern 'roads They said the last nsmed rosd had granted 1?H cente to the truckers, but Asslstsnt Gen eral Manager Ashton denied tbst any agreement bad been reached. There were troubled mlnda over the altuatloa aa to the Illinois Central also, for ill remembered that several days ago a committee signed an agreement with this road whleh was re pudiated by the majority of tha strikers.

Should the strikers indorse the reported agree menu, however. It was believed by many that more than one day would be required to aettle affairs, for twsnty roads remained to be reckoned with. Chief ot Police O'Neill expressed relief that the wholesalers hsd agreed not to at tempt to move freight till I p. m. The merchants had Intended to make a de termlned effort to resume shipping this morning, but when a prospect ot peace again appeared last .night tbey decided to wait a little longer before taking action which It waa believed certain would pre cipitate violence. Plan ef Arbitration. The following proposition, which President Curran said he waa in favor of acting on, waa presented this morning by Chairman Job ot the State Board of Arbitration: To the Frela-ht Handlers of Chicago: Tha Illinois State Board of Arbitration, after a thorough Investigation of the present freight handlers' strike In Chicago, and ot the complications which have grown out of that atrlke, recommends to the officers and men of the several local unlona of the Interior Freight Handlers and Warehouse men's Union of America, that tha men re turn immediately to their respective places of employment and apply for the positions neia cy tnem previous to tna striae. We further recommend that tha emnloyes of esch ot the several railroads appoint a committee to confer with the management or tne railroad by. wnicn tney are em filoyed for the purpose of adjusting exist ng difficulties. One of the first development of ths day was ths appearance of a swarm of pickets at one. of the freight houses ot the Chicago 4b Northwestern and tha turning back of Seven trucka aent tbera to remove freight.

July 11 Tomorrow morning the national convention of the United Mine Workers will assemble , In J."!'0" b- dT.,"b.1"t'. calling a strike to aid the striking an thraclte miners. The action of the unlou la uncertain, although ths situation to night Indicates that there will be no walk out of the men. There are some things that may change the situation, ao that speculation regarding the result Is prac tically worthless. If President Mitchell would declare his personal preferences it would not be difficult to foretell the out come. At present he controls tha situation ab solutely and can awing the delegates -either way. He will not say openly what ha wishes, however, asserting that It la the province ot the delegates to decide regard ing the strike, and that while he la willing to advise, under no circumstances will ha assume to dictate to the convention what It shall do. He said this afternoon, how ever, that the convention would take ac tion which would result In the winning of the strike by the anthraolte men In the east. If no strike la ordered by the conven tion, it is likely that action will be taken ..Ilk .1,. flKUnt ...... I . 1 1 I .km llt.h( TTIVU La VUJQVI Fl VIIU.IIIUB 111.

The Missouri men are against a strike nd are Instructed to fight against It on the floor of the convention. Alexander I Patterson, who represents the Colorado miners, says he does not favor a atrlke I only aa the last resort. The Indiana men I are against a atrlke. The delegates from Illinois are partly unlnstructed and others have Instructions against a atrlke. Those ho are unlnstructed will rot declare what they will do, .hut many ot tbem say they are opposed to a strike. W. F. Williams, president' of the Michigan delegation, said thla afternoon that the men from his stale have never declared In favor of a strike. The Michigan district signed the call for the convention and It was generally thought that they would favor a atrlke. But this, Mr. Williams, declares, is not the fact. Tha delegates from ths anthracite regions are strongly In favor ot a atrlke, but are urging their vlsws with modera tion. There seems to be little selfishness In the action of any of tha delegations and they promptly declare themselves for the greatest good for the greatest number of the organisation. ..The men -who say that they are agalnat a strike say at the earns I time that they are willing to atrlke If they see no other way to aid the anthracite miners. The anthracite miners declare that while they are anxioua to have all tha aid that can help them to win the atrlke they are not disposed to foroe the bitumi nous miners to break their contracts tin. less It proves for the salvation ot tha or ganisation. It Is not likely that a vota on the question of striking will be taken be fore Saturday. FIND FIVE THOUSAND STAMPS Detectives Believe They Havo Part at Booty of Chicago Pest, office Robbery.

MOLDERS STILL WAITING Details of Featheratone Proposition Kot Yet Submitted to Local t alon. H. A. Wright, representative of tbe Featherstone foundry at Chicago, was in Omaha for a few hours yesterday In con nection with the proposition of. his com pany to erect a foundry in Omaha and give employment to the iron molders formerly employed by the Union Pacific. Mr. Wright le t the city at 4 o'clock In the afternoon without giving out any definite Information as to the results or objects ot bis visit. President Dillon of tbe lorsl mnldTs' union; said he did not meet Mr. Wright and wsa not prepared to speak of bis visit. It was learned from other representatives ot this craft In Omaha that the Feather stone proposition Is not settled In every de tail yot, notwithstanding the fact tbat It has been approved by ths International con vention now In session at Toronto, Ontario. According to tha version of one of these men tbe local molders held the key to the situation sod their wishes will not be Ig nored by the International body. He stated, however, that It was the general Impression that while matters were not entirely settled they would be, and that along the Una pro posed by the Featheratone people. "Ths time limit within which the Feath erstone people propose to erect the foundry In Omaha is what Is causing tbe delay," said this man. "We proposed In the original prcpostlon that ths Featheratone people agree to have the foundry completed and ready for operation within three months from the time the bargain went Into effect. Thla they accepted at first, but later ob jected to and offered to compromise on four months, which was sstiefactory to s, and we offered to enter Into an agreement upon this proposition, and the Featberstons peo ple volunteered to submit a bonus of $3,000, to be forfeited in case they failed to comply 1th the agreement. But when it rame to signing this contrsct the Featheratone peo ple were not there and thus the proposition fell through. Since that time it has been tmpotslble to get them to come to any defi nite understanding or agreement ae to a time limit, and consequently the proposition till hangs fire. "I will say this, however: It is my opin ion, and I think the opinion of all tbe local moulders, that the Featheratone proposition wilt yet be settled en, and In time carried out, and we will have a foundry here In Omaha." The local molders have not yet received tbe full details of the Featherstone propo- ltlon as acted on by their international body at Toronto. Their delegate, James Dalton, has only written them meagerly, saying the proposition has been approved. Tbe same Information has been received from President Fox and the full details are till awaited. OTATOES FLOOD THE MARKET apply Exceeds the Demand and Prices Go Rapidly Down the Scale. The price of potatoes on the Omaha market has been going down at a rapid rate for the past few ' days' and tbey caa no longer be classed as luxuries, as was the esse only a short time ago. On Mon day of this week potatoes came rolling In from all directions and ever since that time the- market . has been flooded. The etock that la now offered will keep only a abort time and for that reaeon dealers must find an outlet or have them spoil on their hands. It Is quite a problem, however, to find an outlet, for reporta from nearly all sections of the country show that ' this Is by no means the only place where there ara rates" potatAe than immediate requlrementa demand. Until--a -short time ago Omaha wholesalers were shipping stock to ths north, but now that demand la shut off and dealers have to content themselvea with cutting the price and by tbat means Increase home consumption. There Is no real market price now that can be quoted, aa people who have potatoes to soil take most anything tbey can get add aa a result some astonishingly low sales have been- made. On Wednesday, However, the wholesale market for good stock was about 35 cents per bushel. The cause for the heavy receipts ot the last few days Is tbe exceptionally large crop In all sections tributary to this mar ket. Besides that It is claimed tbat tbs potatoes are rotting in tbe ground and farmers are forced to dig them and aend them to market. It la expected, however, that from this time on the trouble from that source will decrease and that the market will aoon be In a normal condition. Amusements. Kroar Park.
