ESTIMATES COMMITTEE'S WORK
Hns a Very Hard Piopositlon Now
Confronting It.
Tlie member of the estimate com
mittee, which has not yet met on ac
count or delay In tlio printing of thn
estimates, realize that they've got to
do torao of tho fluent paring that an
rMlmnlc eommltteo linn ever been cnll
rd upon to do In tlie hlrtory of tho
city.
The Increase In the unlniy INI by
the creation of additional otlleen under
the second class city, the large mini
Ix.'i' of additional cleetrlo lights to ht
piovlded for, the necessity of taking
enre of nlmoit Jin.ooo worth of clalniH
referred to tho committee by councils
nnd the $7,000 increase In the water1
rate, all rnufiont the committee.
These uri all fixed chaises and mint
be provided for.
Nearly ovoty dep.mineiit In the city
wants an 'ncicnse In nenily every Iloiti
of expense and yet the twenties of
tho city at the best cannot exceed by
mm e tliPti a few thousand dollais tho
lcvenuex of Ir.st year.
STRIKERS ARE RESTING.
Action of Mill Owiieis Is Being
Awaited Settlement of Strike
at Wllkes-Bane.
All H unlet at th .sk; mill strlkciV
headiiuaiters nowadays, and all action
Is In susiiPtiM' until an answer has been
received lrnni the mill owners i-eR.it il
lufT the iitiosllon or aibltration. The
executive committee met yesterday
morning-, but realizing that nothing
can be done until the operatots have
expressed their sentiments, but lltttlo
business of Importance was transacted.
It Is expected that Valentine Illlss
and Superintendent. Davis, of the Satt
quolt mill, will be homo within a few
days from the South, and immediate
action will then be taken, at n meet
ing of the owners and superintendent!-,
to cither settle the sttlke by entrust
ing It to a boaid of arbitration or by
using any other practicable means.
The local sttlkers foel considerably
ciicotn-.'iKod bv the successful issue of
the Wllkes-H.uie strike at the Hani
Tord silk mill, whore the girls will re
sume work next Monday. They have
been out eight weeks. The settlement
or tho dlfllcullics was effected at a
meeting between a committee rroin the
AVllkes-Harre Central Labor union and
Supcilntcndent Atmstrong. Some of
the girls receive an advance In wages
of $3 :i month, .some $'l nnd otheis Jt,
a. geni'f.il increase of about rlftccn per
cent, being made.
The weaveis of the mill do not share
In the advance at piesent, and the
reason given lor this by the owners Is
that only experienced help ean receive
the comparatively high wages usually
paid In this department, but when the
Luzerne girls have been working longer
al it they will he granted an Incicase.
The strike will be declared off tonight.
About two huudtcd and twenty-live
girls are employed at the factory.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE
MISSIONARY DREYER.
OF
P. C. H. Dieyer and Wife Have Re
turned to This City After Six
Years' Mission Work in China.
Were Stationed In Central Pro
vince nnd Left the Mission Just in
Time to Avoid the Storm Miss
Rose Palmer of Noith Scranton
Accompanied Them.
Itev. and Mrs, V. C. II. Dieyer. form
erly of this city, who for tho last six
icarn have done missionary work In
the veiy heart of China, are tho guests
of Mr. Dreyor'a parents, nt the latter's
home, 122 Kast Pino street, Uunmore,
They at rived In this city Monday night,
safe and sound and full of thanks that
they had escaped unharmed from the
tetilblo carnage of the Uoxer uplifting.
Many adventures, the very recount
ing of which Is sulllclent to send cold
thrills cmiMltig down one's back, weio
encountered by 'them, and not least
among these was their departure ftom
tlio province of Shan'SI, with Its fortv
Ilvo days' journey to Hong Kong, dur
ing almost every day of which bands
of jellow robbers accosted them and
with threats and blows forced them to
part with their possessions.
It was six years ago when Mr. Dieyer
left this city, entering the missionary
field, at the suggestion of Ttev. I). M.
Sttarns, then pator of flrnco liefoimcd
Hplscopnl church. His work was con
diii ted In connection with the China
Inland mission. During all his service
in tlie Orient he was located In the
province of Shan SI, at I'lng Yang.
The mission was a Horn Ishlng one,
theie being about one hundred and
twenty native convent h at Ping Yang,
and about two thousand In the entlio
province.
ORIGIN OF TDK TriOl'ltLK.
The trouble In this territory began
with tho transfer to It of Yuhslen, the
antl-forelgnor governor of Shan Toner.
Tlie bltltv "down-wlth-the-forelgn-dev-lls"
attitttda nssunied from the Mist
by tho governor could not fail to have
Its disastrous results, and about a
week after he assumed olllre, a num
ber of tho homes of prominent native
Christians were plundered, nnd when
ever a white face was seen on the
Htreeta it was the signal for vloknt
language and frequently assaults fiom
vicious looking Doxeis, armed to the
teeth.
Things at last airivnd al such a past
that the ofllclals of the district advised
the missionaries to make their escape
while- there waf yet a posMltlllly. Af
ter considerable delay an escort wtw
Stunted the unall band, which e.on
f.l.stcd of Mr. Dreycr, Mr. l.utlcy, ten
ladles, two chlldicn and four native
converts. Among the Indies In the
party was Miss Ucse Palmer, ol liroen
Jtldge, who bad been doing missionary
work In the northern part of the prov
ince, but who came down to join thn
party leaving for a port, to harbor the
storm.
On .tune lii they left Ping Yang for
Hour- Kong, a southern city and tieaty
point, where they weie sure of pro.
trctlon. Only a few days after their
departuto there came to them tlie
news.as they slowly proceeded on their
Minowful journey, that the Boxers
had burned down the chapel and hos
pital, and illicitly twenty of the native
converts, good poueful men, had suf
lcied cruel deaths as tho result of their
fealty to the faith they had adopted.
slkw Tin: ministih;.
Rev. Dr. Miller Wilson, a dear friend
of Mr. Diryei's, who bad charge of
the mission at Tai Yuen Fu, tho cap
ital of the province, was at his post
w hen the Hoxcrs attacked the mission.
Mad with a Dervlsh-llke fanaticism,

his wife and little one. Meanwhile the
refugees on mute to lion Kon worn
passing each day In suspense nd ac
tual dancer. The escort of thirteen
sulcilers grossly extorted money for
every service and In time of peril
piovcd of no assistance whatsoever.
On the second day of their journey

onslaught on the f.nu carts In
which the party wen- Journeying,

dragged from the carta In which they
wen seated nnd surrounded by lloxeis,
who. placing their blades against Ihe
necks of their victims, demanded sil
ver. The boxes on the carts weie
pointed out to them and weie sys
tematically and completely looted by
the robbers, who made an excellent
haul, securing about five bundled
ounces of silver. Cnexpected llnaucliil

ever, and the Journey resumed. Sick
ness played havoc In the little com
pany, and the clilldien soon Miriuinbed

All along the route came tales of
Christian converts being torluied and

AFTER EFFECT OF GRIP.
Aie Often More Serious Than the
Grip Itself.
Physicians and grip stiffeiers alike
aro agreed that the after effects of
the disease are more to bo feared than
the acute attack; you can never be
sure that the disease has left the sys
tem completely.
LaGrlppu naturally attacks the weak
est organ nnd leaves It still weaker.
N'ot only pneumonia, consumption,
bronchitis and throat trouble follow
the grip, but kidney, liver and stomach
are troubles Just aw liable to result,
provided any of iheso organs should
happen to be In a weak condition at
the time of attack.
To get rid of the grip germ, to get
It entirely out of tho system and blood,
few remedies ate so good and none
safer that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets;
they are not a compound of powerful
and clangorous drugs, but n pleasant,
palatable, convenient lemcdy In tablet
form, composed of the wholesome anti
septic principles of I'uealyptus bark,
blood root and similar germicide reme
dies which are perfectly wholesome!
and harmlsss to the system, but death
to the germs of grip, catarrh, consump
tion and diseases of tho throat and
air passages,
Mrs. Chailes (lOrmlcy, of Memphis,
says: "Last winter an attack of the
grip loll me with weak back, a per
sistent cough and loss of flesh and
appetite and after using various reme
dies for sevetal mouths, with little or
no Improvement I finally bought a 5rt
cent package! of Stunrt's C'atarrii Tab
lets at my eltug store, and a.-c they
were pleasant and convenient to take
I itsnd them lit all times of elny or
night and I was astonished to secure
such line results from so pleasant and
convenient a medicine. In two weeks
my cough dlsappcaied, my appetite le
I it tiled, I Improved In IIjsIi and color
and no oi-.e would now think that I
ever bad such a thing as tho grip.
"My diugglst told me ht sold more
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, for the
cine of grip, colds nnd catarrh, Hum
any other similar medicine."
of uilsstonaiy friends, arrived in Now
Yoik, February iS. Mr, Dreycr was
seen yesteiday by a Tribune man, and
after narrating the events told above,
declared his Intention to return to
China, when the times have become
more peaceable.
"We intend returning to tlie same
station," he said yesteiday. "Tlie Chi
nese an" themselves an essentially
peaceful, law-abiding nnd quiet-loving
people, and with the central govern
ment friendjy to the foreigners theie
Is no doubt that the same attitude
would be universal In the countiy. The
Roxer movement owes Its great popu
larity to its present success, but let
J he society meet a few revers.es and
tho number of Its followers will fall oft
In a maiked dcgiee.
"Kveryone Is a Roxer now. "Why,
befoio we left our province there was
such 11 Roxer craze that the young
boys and even girls were dally lining
up and going through tho Roxer drills.
"However, there's one thing which
ought to be emphasized and that is the
fact tlial tho entile' uprising was es
sentially an anti-foreign one, not un
anti-missionary. Perhaps the greatest
c-auso leading up to It was tho foreign
aggression and acquiring' of Chinese
territory. Japan's seizing Formosa,
Russia, Port. Arthur, nnd each of the
other nations wiii Important city.
DIVISION OF CHINA.
"The division of China, as hei aided
in the foreign papers and circulated
among the Chinese-, fanned this spirit
of growing -animosity, and the highly
antagonistic spirit of the dowager cm
press towards all outsiders was re
sponsible for the greater part of the
trouble. She took advantage of the
turbulent spirit of the time, and pre
cipitated the outrages and violence.
"Tho teirible fnmltie In our province
also hud a great deal to do with the
maddened spirit of the people. For al
most two years no rain hail fallen, and
the drought which followed with its
attendunt suffering was artfully laid
at our door by the emissaries of the
empress.
"They stilled the people up to think
that the missionaries by ihe use of
evil magic had caused the famine, and
by their machinations weie keeping
away the rain, and this sentiment lif
etime veiy general among the mor-'
Ignorant iiass.es.
"Our own eonveits, however, stood
by us admirably and while of courso
a few lecanteii, the majority shc-Twod
gland faithfulness nnd fidelity. They
offered us money nnd were willing to
give us lofuge and all the assistance
li1 their power. I regiet exceedingly
tlio scandalous n-nducl. of the foreign
tmops In China, as I think tint their
actions In ought 11 practical lesson
which offM't the principles tlie mission
alios bale ever been attempting to
dlsseinlnale. The deeds of the foreign
soldiers wtie actually woiso than Uumo
of tlie natives.
CANNOT COMPRKUKNI) IT.
"The he allien Chinese can undci
stand it, Il a nation in. Icy out tlie
proper punishment, but his simple mind
can not comprehend tln spcclaclo of
Ihe repie-ent:i lives of so-culled Chris
tian nations behaving- themselves In
llui way they hive, and commuting
thi- outiagi"- which have marked their
advent. Many Innocent people have
siiflcu'd ihanielully ut their hands,
while those ically dexorving o punish

to Issue him a license for $550. At yes
lerday'H argument ho was represented
by Attorneys Ira II, Burns, Joseph
O'Rricn and M. J. Martin, while At
torney S. Ii. Price appealed for the
treasurer.
Mr. Burns, In offormr the main ar
gument for the plaintiff, based his re
marks almost entirely upon an opin
ion hnnded down In the caso of tho
Commonwealth vs. McGrnrlarty by
Judge C. 13. Rice, of the Superior court,
when that Jurlt was picsldcut judge
of tho Luzerne county courts. At that
time the borough of Hazlcton was re
oigaulzlng as a. olty of the third class,
and a case was brought to determine
whether the saloonkeepers should pay
for a borough or a third-class city
license.
Tho borough was organized hs ii city
on April 4, and Judge Rico decided that
the charge should be made for only a
borough license, Mr. Rums contended
that a similar condition of affairs ex
isted in this city. Scranton Is now a
city of tho third class, he said, and will
not be a city of the second class until
10 o'clock 011 the morning of Monday,
April 1. Tho licenses become effective
on March 3t. ho said, and must thcie
foro be third-class city licenses. Four
days elapsed in the Hazlcton cuse,
while ten hours would elapse In this
city. Tho sume principle would apply,
however.
Attorney Price, in reply, denied that
Scranton Is now a city of the third
class. It 1p a city of the second class,
he said, and has been ever since the
governor's proclamation was received.
Therefore when the licenses become
effective they will be second-clajss city
licenses and nothing else. Granting, he
said, that Scranton would not become
a second-class city until Monday, April
1, at 10 o'clock, -ind that the licenses
go Into effect ten hours before, tho
common law prlnclplo Is that in such
n case nothing less than a day can bo
counted. Mr. O'Brien took Issue with
Mr. Price on this point, and said that
modern conditions had changed that
principle.
A decision will be handed down very
.soon. The three judges consulted on
the case Immediately after adjourn
ment. ,
