GOVERNMENT
ANSWERS
THE POWERS
Disclosure of Its Policy
Made to Foreign
Representatives.
THE CHINESE PROGRAMME
German Proposal That the Negotia
tions with China Be Deferred Un
til Chinese Responsible for Pekln
Outrages Have Been Punished Has
Not Been Approved State Depart
ment Refuses to Make Any Other
Statement H3 to tho Nature of An
swers Government Does Not Re
linquish Idea of Ultimate Punish
ment of tho Offenders.
By Inclusive Wir from The Associated Trcs.
Washington, Sept. 21. Tho United
States government has made full and
complete answers to the various Im
portant Inquiries that have been ad
dressed to It by the powers relative to
the Chinese trouble. Moreover, It has
gone farther and has made a disclosure
of all its purposes, and, as a member
of the administration puts It, has
thrown It open hand upon tho table.
This action was taken after tho cabi
net meeting today. At half past three
o'clock Mr. "Wu called by appointment
upon Acting Secretary Hill and was
handed a memorandum embodying the
ltsponse of tho United States govern
ment to the request of Prince Chins
that Mr. Conger or some other person
be Immediately empowered to begin
negotiations with the Chinese authori
ties for a final settlement. Next came
M. Thlobault, the French charge. A
lew minutes conversation sulllced to
impart to Mm orally un answer to his
own verbal Inquiry.
Then Baron Sternberg, the German
chuige, who had been notified of the
leadJness of the state department to
make answer to the German note,
ir.llcd and n.is given that answer. lie
hastened away to cable It to his own
government.
The department then sent the answer
to the Russian inquiry by messenger
.md -wired cablegrams containing the
substance of tho answers to its diplo
matic representatives abroad. Thus
Uofaed one of the most Interesting and
important phages of the Chinese en
tanglement. Tho state department ab
solutely refused to make any state
ment as to the nature of the answers,
taking the ground that to do so would
bo a violation of tho diplomatic pro
prieties. It Is known, however, that tho Ger
man proposal that negotiations with
China be deferred until the Chinese
lesponslble for tho Pekln outrages have
been surrendered to the allies, has
failed of approval by our government.
The declination has been conveyed In
; manner that cannot glvo offense,
but it Is bleved that the United
States government cannot recognize
a prlnclplo that a country may be
called upon to surrender its own citi
zens to a foreign power or powers for
punishment. Tho government does not
relinquish tho Idea of tho ultimate pun
ibhmcnt of tho offenders, when they
are properly Identified, but It does not
believe that the pursuit of this object
should put a stop to all negotiations.

Upon a Crowd of Rloteis at

By Exclusive Wire from The Assonatnl Press
I Ilazloton, Sept. 21. The Lehigh re
gion today seemed to concern Itself
moie nbout the possibility of trouble
than any other one thing.
Vhprecr one went In this dlstilet
tho belief was general that an out
break will occur. Thete was,
however, no outwurd evidence any
where that Mich a thing is likely. This
feeling was no doubt pioduced by
the disturbances at Shenandoah and
the arrival in Hazleton and on tho
North Side of a largo number of depu
ties, who aio said to he prepared for
anv emergency.
It was known that all the coal com
panies In the district had Increased
the number of watchmen around their
collieries, and It was also known that
a small number of deputies had been
dlstilbuted through the South Side by
Sheriff Brlslln, of Carbon county, but
nothing much was thought of this.
The deputies who urrlved at Free
land, twelve miles north of heie. dur
ing the night from Wllkcs-Barre. aie
said to number about two bundled.
They were distributed along tho pub
lic road betWe-eil FreoUnd and Jeddo
At noon a caiload of them arrived in
this city eivcr the Pennsylvania rail
road, and later in the day several
squads of deputies came Into town.
They are all being lodged In different
parts of tho city.
Few Cases of Violence.
There were fewer cores of violence
today than yesterday when the mine
workers In vaiious partp of this sec
tion were attacked on their way to
and from work. The ptesence of the
lnci eased number of watchmen and
deputies may have accounted for this

been unusually quiet, although crowds
of Idle men were congi "gated on most
of the street coiners all day. They
gavo no trouble to the city police force,
which numbers about eight men.
As to the strike situation Itself, them
was no noticeable change today. Both
the operatois and the strike leaders
claim they have made decided gains
on their respective sides. For tho first
time since the strike was Inaugurated,
President Mitchell today Issued figures
showing the number of men Idle In
each colliery in the Hazleton district.
These llgures show that out of 17,47r
mine workers In the district 13,825 have
refused to go to work. Very few oper
ators Ue In this section, but those
operators and ofllclals who could bo
reached In this vicinity disputed Mr.
Mitchell's flgurca In so far ns they re
lated to their Individual collieries.
They Dispute Statement.
V. H. Smith, superintendent of tho
Markle mines, said that If Mr. Mitch
ell's figures for the Markle mines were
true the company would bo unable to
operate any of Its collieries. The su
perintendent of Cox Brothers' six col
lietles said the figures for those work
ings were far wrong. Drlfton and
Stockton collieries, which aie claimed
by Mr. Mitchell to be shut down, are
woiklng short-handed, he said, and the
other foui mines w hlch tho strike lead
ers say are ciippled are producing the
full aveiuge amount of coal. Another
official, speaking for the Pardee com
pany, said that Mr. Mitchell's claim
that only 150 out of the 1,500 men are
working In the cranberry mine Is ridic
ulous. This gentleman clnlms that tho
mine was producing three-quarters of
the dally average output of coal.

Another day of the strike came and
went In tho Lackawanna reclon aa
quietly as tho four that preceded It,
No change occurred In the tie-up, and
nothing halng tho semblance of dis
order was reported from any part of
the county.
The news of the shooting nt Sher.an
doah was not generally circulated anil
consequently caused no excitement
locally. A Tribune reporter was tha
first to apprise the strikers headquar
ters of the unfortunate occurrence.
President Nichols, Secretary Dempsey
and Organizer Burke were the only
ones about when tho announcement
uas made. They received It with ex
pressions of deep regret, and hoped
this territory would bo spared rfny,
such occurrences.
President Nichols said ho didn't look!
for any tiouble In this region, unless
an outbreak should occur In one certain
place, which Is provcrbally lawless and
needs far less tnan strike excitement
to work It up Into tlrstJrderrPrrirr9Jiai
been taken to especially impress upon
the men there the necessity of nvold
Ing disturbance, and the leaders are
charged to be energetic In doing what
they can to stave oft disorder.
The meeting of the Svltchmen'l
union, to discuss tho question of re
fusing to handle eevil now being mined,
was one of the mot closely watched
events of the day. The local officers of
tho United Sllne Workers appealed to
the switchmen to aid them In closlnrr
up the washeiles by lef using to handlo
cars to or from these places. Some
few switchmen quit rather than handle
these cars, and tho others weio In a
quandary as to what they should do.
Thev wanted to help tho sti lkers, but
they could not grant their request
without first having the peimlssion of
their national otllcer.s. Tho grand
master and giand secietary weie ac
coidlngly sent for and came on here
Thursday.
Had a Conference.
They met some of tho local mine
workers' ofllclals jesteiday afternoon
and also had n confeience with tha
switchmen's offlceis. In the evening,
they had a confeience with the Switch
men's union In Haub's hall, 'Wyoming
avenue, at which all the members npt
on duty weto present, to the number
of half :i hundtcd.
The session lasted from 7.30 till 11.20
o'clock. When It had concluded anel
the newspaper men gathered about
Giand Master Haw ley, they weie pleas
antly but emphatically Informed that
nothing was to be told except that tho
non-union coal question had been dis
cussed: that net definite action uaa
taken, and that nnother meeting would
bo held.
When asked If the switchmen were
advised as to how they should act ti
the matter till definite action w.t
taken, Mr. Haw ley said ho could not
divulge anything that had transplreel
at tho meeting, but suggested that this
question would bo answeted by watch
ing the switchmen today.
"I can say this to you, however, that
the switchmen have enough to do to
atfend to their own business," Mr.
Haw ley remarked without preface or
In any pattlcular connection When
liessd to explain what 'was to be ln
fentel from this utterance hr added:
"Well, there (tie different ways of help
ing strikers In a case like this."
This was ub fur as Mr. Haw ley wntill
go on this subject. Tho newspaper men
were not certain of what ho meant
but gathered that he was endeavoring
to hint to them In an extremely cau
tious way that1 the switchmen were dis
posed to and would help tho miners but
would hesitate to do anything that
would thiow them Into Idleness also.
"Has President Mltvhell asked nnv
of tho other railroad biotherhoods to
Interest themselves In this strike7" Mr.
Hawiey asked of the reporters Tim
reporters confessed that they did nod
know. Mr. Haw ley Inquired very min
utely and Kollcitatlngly of the possibili
ties of Archbishop Jtyan being able tn
effect pome ort of a compromise.
