Be fxrlmlte Wire from The Asvirhtcd Pro Washington, Sept. 20. The statu'? of the Chinese situation at the close of the clay, nccoullnfr to a high uutlinilty, is as follows: There are now before the depart ment of state a number of notes nvaltlng nnswers. These include the German note concerning the sm ren der of Chinese ringleaders; the origi nal Husslan proposition for the vv Ith elrawal of troops fiom Pckln, which has not yet been noted upon as a fi nality: a memoiundum from the Rus sian government asking as to the pur poses of this government and a re quest by Piince Chins that Instruc tions be sent to Minister Conger to piocced with peace negotiations at once. In addition theie is n verbal in (Uhy ftom the Ficnch government as to the programme of the I'nlted states. These various communications have accumulated slowly tnd an under standing has now been leached by the administration that there shall be a general clearance of the entire sub ject. This may be expected either late tomorrow or early the following day. It will clearly enunciate Mi pro gramme of the United States on the nilous questions presented. There w ill be separate replies according to the character of the communications addressed to this government; that Is, the lecont German note will be an swered by a note, nnd the memotanda of iuquliv from Russia will bo nn swerccl by a memorandum, while the French Mubal inquiry will receive a verbal response. As to the (oirtenls of these several communications the authorities are not willing to give any positive Intima tions, though, as far as the German unto Is (oncetned, the belief Is almost goneial here that the 1 espouse of our government will amount to a declina tion to make the surrender of the of fending Chinese a condition precedent to negotiations of any kind. Concern ing the Russian proposition for with drawal, It is stated olllclallv that It stands today the same as first pre sented, there having been no modifica tions whatever on the part of Russia up to the present time. An Appeal for Peace, The Chinese minister here has re ceived a despatch from tire -viceroys of tho southern provinces of China, making an appeal for the opening of peaie negotiations without further de lay. They lepresent that a prolonga tion of the present unsettled condition Is a serious disadvantage to China and nil parties concerned. The minister strongly seconds the ippcitl of the viceroys, lie sajs thil China Is at times accused of bel'ig slow, but In this case a month Ins passed since the legations wero re lieved, and yet there Is iro move to open negotiations, although China Is ready and anxious to do so. He points out that all the various conditions and general qualifications which have been made to the appeals for tire open ing of negotiations have the effect of deliij. He feels thut the United States occupies tho enviable position of being able to take the lend In solving the difficulties and delay. It is univer sally lecognlzeel, be adds, that this country Is absolutely free from any ulterior motives against China, and that whatever the American govern ment proposes is dislntcicsUd, culcu lated to benefit all concerned, and solve the problem. For that leason Mi. Wii Is using his Influence to have the United States government take lire Initiative In opening peace negotia tions. Li Hung Chang's Thanks.

This was done nt the suggestion of Genornl Scurry, who represented the belief that conditions had reached such a stage that the civil authorities were able to cope w Itli the situation. This, how ever, does not mean the immediate withdrawal of tiro militia. They are to co-operate with the city otllclals In the enforcement of order nnd will con tinue oir duty as pait of the govern ment. Since martial law has prevailed in Galveston good order has resulted. The shooting of negroes by militia men for looting, has had a most salu tary effect and has In n measure ter lorlzed the offenders. Labor In Galveston Is nt a premium. There Is not an Idle man In the cltv. Regardless of station or position, a man must work. The merchant and his clerk nre woiklng side by side along with the man who has known nothing but hard work since tho time of his childhood, It Is a cosmopolitan foice now at work on the ity ave nues; white men and black working In such gangs under cue head Is a dally scene.

Over 500 men werec secu'ied under this oicbr nnd todav there aie fully J.0'0 men engaged In the work Still this feue Is not suffi cient, and more men must Vie secured. The prevailing method of disposition Is cremation nnd as each corpse Is taken out Is Is thoioughly saturated with coal oil and tin own Into a blaz ing fire. This plan of Incineration has been entirely successful and the bodies aie qulcklj destroyed. DAY'S DOINGS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN POLITICS Senator Hanna on the Value of Club Organizations.

Father Phil lips, the Hazleton priest, who hai been active In efforts to nveit the pending stilke, anlvod in this city Conllnueil on Pac,e 2 I THE NEWS THIS M0KNINU Weather Indications Today, RAIN, This region can be thankful. In ona way, at all events, that the stilko tie-up Is practically complete. Whllo other localities are experiencing dally disturbances and living In dread ot a conflict between strikers and deputies, or of union and non-union men col liding, this region Is practlcully fieo from all concern on that score, be cause there Is no one to molest even If nny one was bent oir molestation. Tiue there are some hundreds of men at woik at the eight vvasbeiles that continue" under way nnd the tlneo small private workings that among all the 97 collieries of the region have not been closed down, but tho sttlkers do not concern thciivwlvei about those few drops In the bucket, and find no dlfllcrrlty in restraining themselves fiom -violating the behest ot the Mine "Workers' officers to -relisr-lously keep away from the mines and commit no disorderly net. Vero It tho case that the occasions of disorder In other districts obtained here, the alarm would not bo ns great as In those districts, for the men of this region are, on the aveiage, far above those of the lower districts, and the conservative element Is In such a pionounced majority, that outside In fluences would scarcely be necessary to suppiess any rising ot the lawless element. Yesterday, like all the days thnt pieceded It since tho stilke began, found the I-acka wanna icglon perfect ly quiet and with nothing appealing on the hoilzon to piesage any elis. quiet. The situation as regards tho tie-up llkevvhe remained unchanged the Idle mines continuing idlo and the operators making no effort to operate, lioth sides stand as llim nnd con fident as tho day the strike began, despite the conflicting reports of tho pi ogress of the strike In the southern districts, each side apparently l dy ing with abiding faith In the report that favoied Its particular cause. Tire announcement In yestet day's Tribune ot the activity of the opera tois had the effect of setting the stilk eis to thinking. Xone doubted thnt the operators vvete doing soitto thlng, but the fact that tho activity was not apparent on tho surface, had the effect of allowing It to escape at tention, and not until the matter vvaa called forcibly to mind by The Ttlb uno, did the mine workers tako It up for discussion. Most of them are of tiro opinion that the movement vv III bo as conjectured, yesteiday, iv concentiatlon ot tho nvallable men of all tho companies In some few colhciles as a means of weaning back the sym pathy strikers nnd those of tho union who Joined It because It was the popu lar thing, and who may be vv.tverliifi between staying out and going back, ns a result of decidedly discouraging leports that tho operators expect will commence to pour In from Hazleton, Pottsvlllo and Shamokln within tho next few days. The promoters of tho Lackawanna union arc already discussing the ex pediency of getting the miners to gether and preparing to move along Judicious lines It a time should como when a continuation of the strike would be a useless effort. In other words, If conditions should nrlso that would make a means of "letting go" a desirable thing to havo at hand, tho thinking men of tho union consider It a wise precaution to bo In u posi tion to Immediately provide thaf means. 4-4 4-4-4- 4-4-4-4-4 - 4-4- 4- 4 4- -i-4- -f-r-f-f -r4- -f-f-r 4- 4- -f i 1 fieneral Day of Calm in tho Lower Mnke Itegions.
