Hazleton, Pa., Aug. 29—If the an
thracite coal operators refuse to grant
the demands of the United Mine Work
ers, as embodied in the reports of the
scale and the resolutions committees
as presented and adopted at yester
day's convention, by Sept. 8 a strike
Involving 140,000 miners, of whom 40,-
000 are members of the mine workers'
organization, will be declared. The
convention yesterday applied to the
national executive board, with head
quarters at Indianapolis, to order a
strike if no satisfactory amicable
agreement regarding wages, the pow
der question and other grievances is
reached.
President Mitchell said today that
the application would undoubtedly be
favorably acted upon by the board,
whieh meets at Indianapolis Sepc. (i. if
existing conditions of which tlie min
ers complain are not remedied in the
time allowed by the convention.
The morning session was devoted to
a discussion of the report of the scale
committee, which was adopted, but not
made public until yesterday afternoon,
when the convention adjourned sine
die. Soon after the opening of the
afternoon session President Mitchell
said that Rev. Father Philips, of St.
Gabriel's church, who advised the men
of his parish last Sunday not togo on
strike if one should be declared, had
something to say to the delegates, and
that if there was no objection he would
be invited to address the convention.
It was unanimously agreed that Father
Philips be heard, and a committee es
corted him into the hall. He made a
stirring appeal to the miners not to
act hastily and precipitate a struggle,
and said that in his mind conditions
were not in favor of a strike. He
counseled moderation, and suggested
that before the men resolved to strike
they should use all honorable and
amicable means for bringing about a
settlement. If the mine workers did
not secure recognition direct from the
operators he advised them to author
ize their committees to pick men em
ployed at the collieries who are not
members of the union to act with the
mine workers and present the ariev
ances of the men to their employers,
so that every opportunity would be
given for remedying conditions and
avoiding serious trouble.
His remarks had a noticeable effect
on the convention and many of the
delegates who had previously favored
Immediate declaration of a strike co
incided with his views.
The report of the scale committee
demands the abolition of the company
store system, the reduction in the
price of powder to $1.50 per keg, the
abolition of the company dictation as
to who shall be our doctors, abolition
of the sliding scale now in practice
in the Lehigh and Schuylkill regions,
compliance with the semi-monthiy pay
law, and that all employes be paid in
cash; abolition of the erroneous sys
tem of having 3,860 pounds to the ton.
and that 2240 pounds constitute a ton;
that an advance of 20 per cent be paid
ell classes of men now receiving less
than $1.50 per day, that all classes of
day labor now receiving $1.50, and not
exceeding $1.75, shall receive 15 per
cent over present wages, that all day
labor now receiving more than $1.7."
shall be advanced 10 per cent, that no
miner shall have at any time more than
one breast, gang or other class of
work, and shall only get his legal
share of cars.
Followinc are the separate scales
adopted for the respective districts for
Inside work:
District No. 1. comprising upper Lu
cerne and Lackawanna; That 72 Vfe
cents be paid per ton of 2,240 pounds,
according to the thickness of the vein.
We are willing to allow for dockage
and rock slate or boney in the coal,
but we insist on having a check weigb
man at the head of the breaker, who,
with the company's welghtman. shall
agree upon the amount of dockage.
District No. 1, comprising the Hazle
ton and Upper Schuylkill region: We
demand that in veins of ten feet in
thickness or over, 55 cents be paid per
ton; under ten feet and over seven, fiO
cents; under seven feet, 71 Vfc cents,
and that the highest rate be paid in all
places where 15 cars of coal cannot be
mined with one keg of powder.
District No. 9, comprising Shamokin
find part of Schuylkill region: We de
mand an average increase of 8V& per
cent on contract work and an average
price of 59 cents per ton, the minimum
price of which shall be 35 and thf>
maximum GG cents.
In District No. 9 coal is measured
at present by the wagon and not by the
ton. the adoption of which system is
asked for.
Resolutions in accordance with the
above were enthusiastically adopted.
Power is given the district executive
committee to appoint any committees
they may see fit, which means that any
outsiders, non-union employes, mer
chants. professional men or ministers
may be asked to confer with the oper
ators, so that every means shall be ex
hausted before any strike is declared.
It is possible that Father Philips will
be requested to speak for the miners
of this district. Several business men
may also be invited to confer with the
operators on behalf of the men.

Chicago, Aug. 29. —That a strike of
the anthracite miners may have a dis
astrous effect on the output of coal
from the bituminous fields is indicated
in advices that come from an official
source, and which are to the effect that
the state representatives of the United
Mine Workers' union have been in
conference with the national officers
and that a decision has been reached
to strike in every bituminous field
where the operators make an effort to
ser.d coal into anthracite fields in case
of trouble. If the anthracite miners
*o out It will be the first organized
Rtrlke on their part, and the United
Mine Workers' union is prepared to
exhaust its treasury in support of the
men. Several hundred thousand dol
lars will be available at once, and the
national executive board has power to
levy a weekly assessment on every
member who may be at work. The
first support would come from the na
tional headquarters, and when that is
exhausted the executive board may
call upon the state unions. Illinois
alone has nearly $200,000 in the treas
ury.

Both men came from Chicago orig

been a contractor in tl: 't city, llis
friends assert that he • :ame to New
York with the expectation of getting
a contract on the underground road
now being constructed in this < ity.
Stridiron went t the hotel Friday
nifiht and regist red a? coining from
Baltimore. For two or three days
prior to th.it tin,. Kasoti had been seen
about the corridors of the hotel in the
company with Stridiron, an 1 it was no
ticed (hat both men were drinking
heavily. On Saturday the suicide reg
ister' ! but for some reason, under the
assumed nemo of H J Ford, Boston
lie was aligned to room No. 258.
Stridiron L>d room No. 307, on the
eighth floor, looking into Forty-first
street. The two men entered the hotel
about 8 o'clock yesterday and asked for
their keys. Both were under the in
fluence of liquor. On the way up to
their rooms Esson said to his compan
ion:
"I believe I'll goto your room."
"What for?" was the answer. "You
have one of your own."
"Oh, I want to lie down." was Es
son's answer "Can't you It a fellow
even lie down on your bed?"
A moment later the guests in the
corridor of the hotel were startled by
three revolver shots in rapid succes
sion Then there was a metallic clang
on the street, where the weapon had
fallen on the paving stones
The suicide was found lying dead
on the floor near th>- window. He had
killed himself b> sending a bullet
through the roof of his mouth into his
brain.
To the Coroner Stridiron made the
following statement
"Coroner Zucca, 1 am Harold H.
Stridiron, ot No. 119 Seeley avenue,
Chicago 1 cam< here for the Fitz
simmons and Ruhlin fight from Chi
cago I im' John Esson U*; - e two
weeks, ago and saw him several times
afterward. We drank together and
went around together. I met him yes
terday afternoon, Sunday, Aug. 26.
I got him k room at the Vendome and
I signed for his meals. This morning
he came to my room and we went out
for an automobile ride on Riverside
drive When we returned to the hotel
he insisted upon going to my room to
lie down While there he shot nie.
"On Saturday afternoon he told me
that he had attempted to commit sui
cide, but wus . topp 'd Ht asked me
to telephone a pirl that he had at
tempted to commit suicide. Shortly
after I telephoned the girl hunted him
up and demanded her jewelry. She
then went away with Esson. While we
were riding in the automobile he told
me that he expected to get $25,000 to
give to this girl, but I never saw him
with any money or jewelry of any
kind."
Coroner Zu<■>a afterward learned
that the woman was Mrs Lillian
Hayes. She approached that official
yesterday and told him that she had
loaned th" suicide 112 1,000 worth of
diamonds because he was in desperate
circumstances.
To a reporter Mrs Hayes explained
that she came here from Chicago two
months ago. She said that she knew
the dead man in Chicago, that he
brought his friends around to see her,
and soon grew jealous. Mrs. Hayes
said that if he had not been drinking
he would not have been jealous.
Recently Mrs. Hayes said that he has
often talked of murder and suicide, ard
that he nttcmp' ! to kiil her only Sun

This not( was found on the dead
man:
"The better the day the better the

Chicago, Aug. 29. . or four hours
and a half yesterday t' thinning ranks
of the Grand Army of the Republic
passed in review before tlie loaders and
before probably a million spectators,
packed in almost solid masses along
four miles of the line of parade. It
marked the climax of the 34th annual
encampment of the association of vet
erans who filled the pages of history
with deeds of heroism during the weary
years of the civil war, and was, accord
ing to Commander-in-Chief Shaw, tlio
greatest parade since that day in
Washington, when the hundreds of
thousands of veterans, the most power
ful army on earth, marched in review
to their final disband ment.
Probably 30,000 members of the army
of veterans took part in the parade.!
For exactly four hours and twenty |
minutes, most of the time with rank* j
almost perfectly aligned, but occasion
ally faltering under the burden of their
years, they filed past the reviewing
stand on Michigan avenue, saluting as
they marched by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, |
Commander-in-Chief Shaw, Gen. Dan- ;
iel E. Sickels, Gen. Jo <ph Wheeler,!
Acting Governor Wardner. Mayor Har-j
rison, Speaker Henderson, Senator Cul
lom and the Spanish minister, Duke
D'Arcos.
Weather conditions were almost ideal
for the parade, wearisome at best for |
the silver haired veterans. The rays
of the sun were veiled by light, fleecy j
clouds nearly all day, and even when
unobscured their effect fras greatly
tempered by a cool breeze which blew
steadily off Lake Michigan. The line
of march, too, was much shorter than
ever before mapped out for the annual
parade, its entire length not being over
four miles, but notwithstanding this,
here and there a veterun, dazed and
exhausted, dropped out -f t! e ranks.
Especially was this tr : 112 r the re
viewing stand was pa d ; d many
pathetic scenes were v.-iuie :.-"d dovn
the long stretch of Mi. ! : an avenue as
the veterans fell by ?h. M " side.
One especially sad 1;: 1 '■ n .T occurred
to mar in a degree ti • nlory of the
parade, Charles Beckv.ith. of Mr: a,
Mich., dropping dead n the li'ie was
filing past the corner of Michigan ave
nue and Madison street. The parade
was halted for a moment, the body of
the veteran who had responded to his
last call was tenderly removed and his
comrades passed on
The first cheers from the reviewing
stand were given to the famous old
war eagle of the Wisconsin troops,
"Old Abe." the stuffed figure of which,
borne aloft by a brawny buckskin
dressed veteran, was heartily greeted j
by the crowds and saluted by Gen. !
Allies and the others in the boxes. The
post escorting "Old Abe" was closely |
followed by Lucius Fairchild post, !
which startled the crowds by stopping .
in front of Gen. Miles and Commander i
Shaw, giving the familiar "Rah rahs" :
of the University of Michigan. It was I
somewhat cracked and feeble, but it
showed the undimmed spirit that made
the Iron Brigade famous, and it started
the crowd to cheering again A few
moments later George G. Meade post, j
No. I, of Philadelphia, filed by. Borne
aloft by 24 silver haired veterans were
as many battle flags, tattered and torn
by bullets, anil close behind them ten
equally ragged corps flags. They were
the first of the ninny battle flags car
ried in the parade that were seen by
the thousands along the line of march,
and everywhere the ragged banners t
were greeted with cheers.
One of the most striking features of
the parade was the appearance of the
lowa veterans, thousands in number, i
Speaker Henderson received an ova
tion from them. He was recognized as
the veterans from the Hawkeye state ,
reached the stand, and the band, stop
ping in front of his box, erased play
ing and raised their voices in a song,
"From lowa," the chorus of which,
thundered out by a thousand or more
veterans, was as follows:
"We're from the Wild Rose state.
From lowa, lowa.
Just across the Mississippi river.
lowa, Iowa;
And we're just the stuff "
Speaker Henderson laughingly ac
knowledged the salutes, and then the
veterans raised their voices in some
thing a little different. With the unan
imity and enthusiasm of a football
crowd they howled the following
"Hurrah, hurray, corn and hay;
We're the boys from loway.
First in war, first in peace;
First in the hands of the city police."
Shortly after passing the reviewing
stand the line nf ma'ch disbanded, and
most of the veterans, tired with the
hours of march, sought their hotels
and lodging places.
The evening was given up entirely to
affairs of a social character, the chief
event being an informal reception to
Commander-in-Chief Shaw, depart
ment commanders and distinguished
guests, at Memorial Hall. In 26 dif
ferent places in the down town dis
trict reunions of states were held.
The annual business meeting of the
Grand Army of the Republic was open
ed this morning in the Studebaker
theater. The meeting was called to or
der by Commander Shaw, and an ad
dress of welcome was made by Mayor
Harrison, Commander Shaw replying
for the members of the army. J. J.
Longnecker, of Chicago, then, speak
ing for the old soldiers of Illinois, ex
tended a greeting from the state at
large, and to this Gen. Louis Wagner
replied. It is expected by the ma
pority of the delegates appointed to at
tend the meeting that the business of
the organization will be over by to
night. and that there will be no need
of Uie meeting being adjourned until
tomorrow.

London, Aug. 28.— #4 Ab the result of
the outcry against the declaration of
The Osservatore Romano." says the
Rome correspondent of The Daily Ex
press, "that the late King Humbert
had mediated giving up Rome to
hierarchy, the clerical papers have
been instructed to publish a statement
giving confirmation and details.
"According to this account, King
Humbert, some months before his
death, wrote to Cardinal Giuseppe
Frisco, archbishop of Naples, request
ing that a trustworthy priest be sent
to hear his confession. A priest was
sent, but absolution was refused unless
Humbert would agree to abdicate and
give up Rome. The king asked time
to consider, as he was anxious to re
ceive the sacrament, and. according
to the clerical version, 'it was tiiis
communication to the priest that in
duced the Holy See to grant Christian
burial.'
"King Htunber's letter to Cardinal
F'risco will be published. A circular
note from the Vatican to the Catholic
powers declares that, so long as Italy
contests the rights of the Holy See,
the pope will only recognize Victor
Emmanuel as king of Sardinia. The
note appeals to the powers to relieve
the pope from an intolerable situation,
declaring that tlx* condition of the
papacy under Italian rule is steadily
growing worse."

Now York, Aug. 27. —A number of
incipient race riots broke out here
yesterday, the direct cause beinp the
shooting on Saturday night of John
Brennan, a white messenger boy, aged
20, by John Davis, alias "Lamplighter,"
a negro. Brennan was one of a crowd
of whites who taunted Davis, anrl bul
lets from the black's revolver lodged
in his stomach and chest. He is in a
hospital and likely to die. The shoot
ing was done on Sixty-second street,
and becoming noised about the rough
white element began to search out
negroes. Before daybreak yesterday
morning James Arnold, colored, while
passing Sixty-fourth street and Am
sterdam avenue, was attacked by a
crowd of whites and badly beaten. He
was tn;t ; i at the hospital. Shortly
afterwai <!.s. about two blocks away, the
| gang doled out a similar experience
j to Alexander i'allentlne, a colored man,
; who was jessing quietly along. In
neither ei".- were arrests made.
At I'.'M o'clock in the morning a
; crowd of whites, confessedly led by
i Frank McPyke, 24 years old, went to a
i five story tenement on Sixtieth street
: occupi-d by negroes, with the avowed
) purpose of cleaning it out. They had
about demolished all the windows and
incidentally cracked a head or two
when the police arrived. McPyke und
another man was arrested.
| At 1:S0 o'clock in the afternoon Jo
seph Doyle. IN years old, filled his hat
i with stones and took his stand ut 1
Fifty-ninth street and Eleventh ave
nue. He succeeded in inflicting scalp
wounds on two colored men before a
policeman clubbed and arrested him.
Officer John J. Clearey placed under
arrest for "being sassy" William Hop
j son, a colored man. lie rashly under
took to take his prisoner to the station
through West Sixtieth street. That
street, between West End and Amster
dam avenues, is called "Cuckoo Row,"
and here colored people live by the
hundred. The fact that one of their
race was in the hands of a policeman
was ail that several of them wanted,
and half a dozen of them thought they
would re leas • Hopson. Clearey used
his club and then drew his revolver.
By threatening to shoot the first man
to move he held tiie mob at bay uutll
other policemen came to his aid. They
| arrested George Meyer, also colored,
who Clearey said started the attempted
, rescue. Meyer resisted arrest all the
I way to the station, and when he got
there he had several scalp wounds.
! One in particular was very large, and
it is thought the negro's skull was
I fractured.
William anfl Henry Rapp, brothers,
| and white, were arrested and locked
[ up last evening on complaint of Adam
i Johnson, colored, who claimed they
j had stoned him.
The above are only a few of the as
' saults which came to light by arrests,
j The fact Is that all day long the police
I in the neighborhood mentioned were
i kept busy dispersing small mobs bent
■ on mischief. The consequence is that
'■ the force is unusually alert, and pre

Washington, Aug. 29. —Several com
munications came to Washington from
the United States officials in China
yesterday, but being dateless in ne A
cases tht government was by no means
satisfied with the state of the i om
municntions, and the cabinet meeting
gave the larger part of its attention to
the problem of rectifiying this state
of affairs. Evidences of interference
with the messages have accumulated
to a point where the government has
determined to take steps to establish
channels of its own, even if it is
necessary to employ the rather expen
sive device of a man-of-war plying be
tween Shanghai and Chefoo for this
purpose. Meanwhile word comes that
rapid progress is making with the
shore cable, which is to connect these
points, and it is believed that within
a week this means of communication
will be open.
Three messages from Gen. Chaffee
were received yesterday, and while
they cast no direct light on the mili
tary situation, they were inferentiaily
important. The general's statement
that he needs no siege battery, taken
in connection with the diversion of the
First cavalry, which was bound for
Taku to Manila, seems to make clear
that there is no intention to enter into
a prolonged campaign in China, such
as would involve the use of heavy ar
tillery or of reinforcements in the
shape of men and horses.
At the same time it cannot be said
that the government has shown any
sign of a purpose to abandon any just
claim it may have secured upon China
through the brilliant operations of the
little American force in the Flowery
Kingdom. But it seems to appear that
the battle of tcKlay is one of diplomacy
rather than one of arms, and notwith
standing the various rumors that have
filtered out from Chinese sources of
heavy engagements between the inter
national forces and the Boxers, the
officials here are satisfied that no for
midable organized resistance will be
offered by the Chinese if the demands
of the powers are limited to the prin
ciples laid down by the United States
in :ts several notes.
It is quite certain that our govern
ment is willing and anxious to do all
it can to bring about a speedy settle
ment of the Chinese difficulty and a
retirement of the forces. But It Is de
termined that no proper advantage is '
to be lost through this wish, and the
government will not be coerced by for
eign combinations or threats of com
binations against our interests Que
of the officials of the government to
day stated that "the i'nited States is
not going tc turn tall and run, because
some of the powers sttow a disposition
to break a compact under which we
became allies in China. The powers
accepted the note of Secretary Hay of
July 3 as a basis for joint action, and
they "will be held to that agreement."
Inquiry at the state department as
to the personality of the latest Pekin
refugees at Tien Tsin shows that be
sides Miss Condit-Snilth. who is a sis
ter-in-law of Mis. Conger, there is a
Miss Payen. a resident of Milwaukee,
Wis., and Mrs. and Ml: s Woodward ,of
Chicago, mother and daughter.

No Confirmation of tli«» llcport Tlmt

London, Aug. 29. —That the Inex
plicable delay in forwarding telegrams
from the Chinese capital still contin
ues is illustrated by the fact that the
latest dispach from Pekin, the tele
gram of a special correspondent de
scribing the search for "Boxers" In the
Imperial park, is dated no later than
Aug. 21.
There is no confirmation from any
source of the report of an advance
northward from Pekin On the con
trary. a movement southward to clear
the country and to insure free com
munication with Taku is apparently
in progress. The powers, as late as
Aug. 21, were still unable to agree as
to how to deal with Pekin Itself, the
Japanese and Russians being at vari
ance as to whether the imperial pal
aces should be destroyed.
Nor is there any further news of the
alleged detention of Li Hung Chang j
by the admirals. Probabilities increase
that all the members of the imperial
household have gotten safely to the
interior. The report regarding Li Hung
Chang was given out at Paris yester
day.and was as follows
"Admiral Courrejolles, the French
commander in Chinese waters, has
cabled to the uavy department here
that a council of admirals has notified
the foreign legations at I'ekin that it
has been decided to hold Li ilunn
Chang on board ship until the opening
of negotiations between the powers
and China."
A Renter dispatch, dated Pi kin, Aug.
15, and sent by post to Shanghai, de
scribes scenes of appalling desolation
and wanton destruction in Legation
street. All the houses of foreigners
were riddled with shells, burned or
blown up. An attempt was made to
mine the American legation A shaft
was sunk 15 feet deep and was then
continued as a tunnel, with a sharp
slope, in the direction of the legation.
Apparently the Chinese did not have
time to finish it.
The Steele's report of a defeat suf
fered by the allies at Pekin is every
where discredited
The Chinese legation in St Peters
burg has received news that peace
negotiations have already begun.
The I'ekin correspondent of The
Daily News, In a dispatch dated Aug
17, asserts that there are thousands of
instances going to show that the Box
ers were approved by the imperial of
ficials In their indescribable ferocity
Tht Hong Kong correspondent of
The Times telegraphs' There are re
ports of continued aggression by
"black Hag-." on North river and of
the destruction of mission property.

New York, Aug. 2,"'. It. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says The
sky is not cloudless, but there has been
no backward movement this week.
Crop advices continue as cheerful as at
any time lately, and the labor situation
shows no important change in working
forces. Prices are steady, but there is
talk of a decline, perhaps $lO per ton
in steel rails shortly to a basis at which
it is believed the railroads will be will
ing to place orders for the ensuing
year's supplies.
More good news comes from the
great iron centers, where bridge and
boat builders and makers of agricul
tural implements, stoves and cast iron
pipe are all eager to secure raw or
partially finished material. Prices are
sustained and in a few cases move up
ward.
Factories are stili working only part
time in the eastern boot and shoe dis
trict and It is evident that the esti
mates of accumulated stock were much
too small.
There is more activity in the liido
market and prices are sustained by
strong foreign quotations, activity in
Chicago by California tanners and gov
ernment purchases for liarne. rv

Washington, Aug 28. - After several '.
days' intermission ii. Chi n • advices j
the p« v •: yesterdaj i ceived two j
dispatch.. Aiiich pn *u:unhl\ bring its
advices up to the mo t tut date
There are Indications th H the principal
delays In the lines of communication
are encountered between Tien Tsin and
Pekin. a fa<) explainable by the news
paper advices that small bands •>!' Box
ers are operatiiu rn the lit;' of com
munication ni the Pi kit. campaign
force Just such Interference with the
work of thr signal cor;-' men was ex
perienced by the Vnited Stati s forces
in the Philippines and by Lord Rob
erts' troops m th Transvaal cam
paign TTstt illy «hie int< 11 upti-m* are
very short, the maraud'; being driven
off and the lines restored within a day
or two. The fact that more than a
week was covered by the last interrup
tion givps rise to tie bell 112 here that
these attacks upon ine s <.t i ommuni
cation by Boxen ai mon formidable
than was supposed to be possible, after
the heavy losses inflicted upon them
by the internritiom.i forces in its id
vance.
The important dispatch of the day
was one from Minister Conger relative
to the military ituaiion in I'ekin Un
fortunately if lack, il a date, tht minis
ter presumably ii •' having yet received
the .department's instructions to in
clude the date in the body of his dis
patches, The state department, con
cluding from .internal evidences that
Minister Conger's message was cer
tainly later than any official emanation
from the Chinese capital, the message
was allowed publicity for what it was
worth. The dispatch follows:
"No important movements since last
dispatch. Militar;, Is trying to restore
ordei No represi ntative of the Chi
nese government encount red vet Sev
eral ministers of the tsung li yamen re
ported In tin city and ire expected to
appear soon Generals decide not to
enter imperial palace leaving it prac
tically vacant. Two thousand Germans
arrived today "
Our minister's rej, rence to the arri
val of 2.000 fresh German troops caused
souie surprise, no on< apparently hav
ing closely watched the movements of
the German contingent, which is now j
onlvinL' with fairly regular frequency
in China, and which consequently may
i be expected soon to equal in numerical
strength the military contingents of
any of the Luropean nations there rep
resented
A significant statement in Minister
Conger's dispatch is that respecting the
expected appearance in Pekin of some
of the members of the tsung li yamen.
A natural construction to be given to
this statement is that these ministers
wish to undertake to represent the Chi
nese government formally in negotia
tions with the powers. It having been
found Impossible'up to this moment,
according to Mr Conger's statement,
to meet any representative of the Chi
nese government In P» kin who was
competent to open negi 'iarlons, it may
be inferred that if these ministers ac
tually app ar with proper cridentiala
one < i the problems connected with "the
present difficult ituation in China will
be so!\ -d.
Ever uiice the fall of I'ekin the prin
cipal difficulty confr mting the govern
ment hen hi. hi n to arrange for the
next movement in program It
could not withdraw i*s troops, even if
Eo disposed without arranging for in
demnificatii n for the heavy cost it has
been putin 11.< Pi kin can • -u-:n. Also
It must make arrangements with some
responsible authority for the future
protection of An>.-rican int< :ests in
China, a.; our busin >s interests cannot
be withdrawn along with the army of
occupation.
Another statement in Mr. Conger's
dispatch relative to the decision of
the genernl< not to enter the imperial
palace, appears to explain the move
ment of the American troops which the
press dispatches were unable to clear
up, in relaxing the attack upon the
palace gates, aft< r capturing all but
one of them
Another i vein of the day of some
Interest wa ■ the order dispatching the
i Castlne from Shanghai to Amov, dis
tant about too miles. The little gun
boat should make the run in about two
days, under favorable conditions Her
force Is small, but sufficient to serve
the moral pitri <se if there be need for
such. It appears that she is ordered
to Amov quite as much on account of
representations from well informed
business circles as from any offici il ad
vices, to prevent rioting at this dan
gerous point.
The first direct word from Gen. Chaf
fee since Aug. is came y< sterday in the
form of a cablegram dated yesterday at
Taku, reporting the action of the Sixth
cavalry with the enemy near Tien
Tsin on the 19th. The. cable is as fol
lows
"Col Wint. on the 19th reports
marched at t a. m and engaged large
force of enemy seven miles from city;
dispersed them, killing about 100.
Americans lost five wounded."
Col. Wint is lieutenant colonel of the
Sixth cavalry, but is acting as colonel
In the absence ol Col Sumner, who is
in Europe
This cable adds nothing to the infor
mation in the possession of the depart
nu nt relati". to military movements,
it is simp';. o.»n Chaff >'» belated of
ficial report of an engagement pre
viously repotted by Admiral Remey.
