FREELAND, PA., JULY 18, 1900.
The Labor Situation.
Wise counsels, it is to be hoped, will
prevail at the gathering of the rep
resentatives of the mine workers'
unions of the anthracite coal field,
which has been called to meet on the
30th inst.
This meeting will be a notable one,
unless the plans of the leaders of the
United Mine Workers miscarry. They
beliove that the anthracite miners are
entitled to fairer treatment than is
generally accorded them, and they pro
pose to test the sense of justice of the
operators by asking them to comply
with certain provisions of the state laws
and to agree to remedy certain defects
in the systems in vogue throughout the
anthracite field in the matter of dock
age and sale of miners' supplies.
In stating that it Is hoped that wise
counsels will prevail at the miners'
meeting, the Tribune means that the
representatives there assembled should
act with due deliberation on matters
affecting their own interests, but es
pecially so on all questions in which
their employers and the general public
may be concerned.
There is no necessity for exaggeration
of their grievances, nor is this the time
for uncalled-for or unjust demands.
The people at large smypathize with
the miner and desire to see him treated
well. With few exceptions, all resi
dents of the raining region understand
his hardships and the value of his labor,
therefore the winning of sympathy by
false pretense is not required.
A concise statement of facts will
place the miner in a better light than
any amount of demogogic oratory or
word-emblazoned resolutions can do.
Eventful Times.
The closing year of the nineteenth
century is certainly one which is furn
ishing ample material for the world
historians. With the famine in India,
the Philippine war, the Boer war. and
the Chinese massacres, and the war
which is now beginning in that country,
the writers of today and tomorrow who
make note of the backward and forward
steps of civilization have an immense
fund of facts to draw upon.
The one thing to be regretted in times
like these is that the people of today,
being interested parties, caunot place a
proper ostimate nor a proportionate
value upon current events. That is
something which posterity alone can do.
That those in power may be given
judgment to do right in the interests of
all men is the sincere wish of all good
citizens of every nation.
Open the Streets.
The opening of North Centre and
North Ridge streets north from North
street should be done before the sum
mer is over. The hardship entailed
upon persons who work at or have
business in Upper Lehigh is consider
able, and, besides, the additional dis
tance which Upper Lehigh people must
walk to reach the business section of
town is a matter which should Interest
the merchants.
If the trade of people from the out
side towns Is desired here, no barriers
such as exist up-town should be allowed
to staud in tboir way.
The print cloth trust, controlling
thirty mills with a capital of $10,000,000,
has decided to shut down for one month
so as to boom the already tremendous
prices. Twenty thousand employes are
thrown out of their jobs. Oh, this
country is certainly prosperous under
trust rule—prosperous for the trusts.
GENERAL WOOD ARRIVES
Governor of Cuba Here to Con
sult President.
SITUATION IN ISLAND BRIGHT,
H entinipt lon of IlnNlnewn Reported
Political Agitations tut Iffttlc Fig
ure Now—Every One Seems to Be
Prosperous and Happy.
New York, July 18.—Major Geueral
Leonard Wood, accompanied by his fam
ily, lias arrived from Cuhu aboard the
steamship Havana. The general, being
an immune, had a white ticket and was
permitted to proceed to New York, while
liis family and aid. Lieutenant M. E.
llanna, Second cavalry, had to take up
their quarters at Hoffman island until
tomorrow afternoon. The general is un
der orders to report to the secretary of
war to consult with regard to Cuban af
fairs and will leave for Washington as
soon as his family is released from quar
antine.
General Wood says that the condition
of Cuba is such as to very much please
those who have watched its gradual re
construction. that the entire island is in
a most tranquil state and the gradual
return of prosperity and the increasing
confidence of the people are very gratify
ing. There are no more law abiding
people than the Cubans, and the proof of
it is found in the recent elections, which
were orderly and yet aroused considera
ble rivalry and some hard fought fights,
though not a blow was exchanged or a
pistol shot fired anywhere.
The general says that the agricultural
outlook is growing better and better, and
the land under cultivation is now about
double what it was last year. The cus
toms receipts are Increasing steadily and
surely. The sugar crop this year is near
ly double what it was last year, the rains
especially having been favorable and a
larger number of plantations being op
erated.
Work on Itullrondn.
The railroads are putting their road
beds into good condition, and they look
to do a very large business within the
next few months.
A large number of farms are in opera
tion and supply the markets with all
kinds of fruit and vegetables in abun
dance, the onions and potatoes being the
equal of those grown anywhere.
With regard to immigration to Cuba,
General Wood says that the type of
•Americans required to make a success
are those of industrious habits with a
small capital—not less than .SI,OOO. For
such there is a great future, and he be
lieves that for them the eastern part of
the island will offer better prospects.
General Wood regards the country dis
tricts as exceedingly healthy, as has been
exemplified by the condition of the
troops, who have been exceptionally
healthy, there having been this year hut
few cases of yellow fever and those di
rectly traceable to largo cities. This,
too, is what is known as n yellow fevot
year, and yet there has been nothing ap
proaching an epidemic, only a few scat
tered cases monthly in Santa Clara.

of suffering during famine, also reports a
modem to rainfall."

FROM TIEN-TSIN.
Fonr Americans AVlio Fseaped From
Chinese City.
San Francisco, July 18.—Four people
arrived here on the Coptic direct from
Tien-tain. They were the Rev. Robert
Colt man, a Presbyterian minister, and
his wife of Denver and W. L. .Ireland
and A. Muthes, mining engineers. Dr.
Coltman left behind him in Peking a son
and his wife with their six children.
The aged couple left Peking May 8.
Minister Conger dined with them the
night before they left. They were at
Tien-tsin the night of the first raid by the
Boxers. They left by armored train,
with scarcely more than 20 minutes to
get ready.
This was one of the last trains to
leave the city. They reached a Chinese
merchant steamer, which was to beat
them to Shanghai, and an hour latei
learned that the forts of Taku were to be
bombarded that night. Their stenmei
was just behind the foreign gunboats,
separated from them by a narrow neck of
land and in the line of fire from the
forts. All night they remained thus,
with shells bursting over their heads.
They saw the Monocacy struck and wit
nessed the termination of the bombard
ment in the blowing up of the forts,
bringing death to thousands of Chinese.
Dr. Coltman's son, whom he left at Pe
king, was formerly the private physician

Cigar Makers' Strike Costly.
New York, July 18.—The great strike
of the cigar makers in this city is still
on, and 0,000 workers, half of whom are
girls, are idle. The strike is proving
enormously expensive to both sides. The

out only the cheaper brands of cigars.
The American Federation of Labor is
aiding the strikers by soliciting financial
aid from the unions throughout the coun
try that are affiliated with it. The Cigar
Makers' International union haft also
taken up the fight, and large sums of
money have been contributed. The con
tributions yesterday amounted to $4,000
alone, and one day recently they reached,

clares that the strikers will be able to
hold out for an indefinite period.

BlagoveHcheiiNk, Capital of the A mar
Government, FHIIN Before an On*
lnnht of Snvoice Invader*— ITien
tsin Taken by Allied Forces.
London, July 18.—The Daily Telegraph
publishes this dispatch from its special
correspondent at Canton:
"In reply to the British, French, Amer
ican, German and Portuguese consuls,
who officially visited him in a body this
morning. Viceroy Li Hung Chang insist
ed that his departure for the north,
which is fixed for Tuesday, has a two
fold object—namely, to save the Jives of
the foreign ministers in Peking and to
arrange the best terms for peace possible
with the allied powers. He assured the
consuls that he had taken all precautions
against any uprising.
"He added that he had received impor
tant cable messages from Lord Salisbury
and the French foreign minister, M. Del
casse, identical in tone and demanding
full protection from injury and insult of
the foreign ministers in Peking and
threatening to take life for life of the
high officials responsible if the ministers
were murdered.
"Li Hung Chang informed the consuls
that he was the only viceroy or high dig
nitary in nil China who dared to trans
mit such messages to the empress and
thnt he lmd sent them verbatim. She
received them, and he had no doubt what
ever that they have exerted a powerful
in tin en cc in saving the ministers' lives.
"As doyen of the Chinese viceroys, he
says he has induced, by persuasion ami
advice, all the viceroys except two to
join in a lengthy memorial to the throne
to secure the safety of all foreigners in
Peking, suppress the Boxers, end the
present conflict and make full nnd thor
ough reparation for damage done and
lives lost.
"To the American consul, who had in
quired about accurate intelligence con
cerning the actual safety at this date of
the foreign ministers, the viceroy answer
ed that he hud hud no news from Peking
within the last week. His previous ad
vices had assured him then of their safe
ty. If they were alive, he was almost
certain that matters could be satisfac
torily arranged with the allied powers.
If they were dead—here he shrugged his
shoulders significantly and added with
lowered voice:
" 'lt is hard to tell what may happen.
I am going to Peking practically unarm
ed. except for my bodyguard of 200 men.'
"He added, 'That ought to lie evidence
to the whole world that I do not favor
any fighting and of my pacific intentions.'
"He was evidently exceedingly anxious
about the ministers, for, returning to the
subject, he said:
" 'My heart is sore about them. I
know them all personally and am on the
best of terms with tliem.'
"The news of Li Hung Chang's coining
departure has caused a fresh exodus of
wealthy natives and foreigners and has
intensified the feeling of uneasiness."
Chinese Attack Russians.
The Daily Mail publishes the following
dispatch from itH special correspondent
at {4t. Petersburg:
"There is no doubt now that China
has declared war against Russia. Hos
tilities are beginning, the end of which
it is impossible to see.
"Probably the truth will take a long
time to filter through to Europe, but the
situation in eastern Siberia is extreme
ly grave—as critical, indeed, as it well can
be. The Boxers, or, rather, the regular
Chinese troops (for these are doing the
real fighting), have seized a Russian
transport boat laden with munitions near
Aigun, on the river Amur, and fired on
and killed almost the entire Russian es
cort.
"They next made a sudden attack upon
Blagovetchensk, bombarding the town.
Tlie garrison held out bravely, but were
overwhelmed, and nearly all perished.
The town was burned.
"It was on July 1 that the news reach
ed the general staff that this declara
tion of war had been made by China at
the town of Aigun. on the Amur. In con
sequence of this General Gribovski at
tempted to push his way through to
Aigun on the steamer Gelenga, but found
at a point 32 miles from Aigun further
progress barred by Chinese, who had
thrown up fortifications, in which had
been placed 40 guns. Consequently lie
had to relinquish the attempt to reach
Aigun.
"The situation in Manchuria has be
come very critical since the .bombard
ment of Blagovetehensk and the holding
up of the Russian transport with muni
tions. Ou the Eastern Siberian railway
almost all <*he stations have been burn
ed to the ground, bridges have been de
stroyed, and the tracks have been torn
up.
"The Russian consul at Kuldshn Ims
telegraphed urgently for re-enforce
ments."
Allies rupture Tlen-tsln.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Daily Mail cables:
"The allied troops resumed the attack
upon the Chinese walled city of Tien
tsin on Saturday morning and succeeded
in breaching the walls nnd capturing all
the forts. The Chinese were completely
routed, and the allies took possession of
the native city and its defenses.
"The total losses of the allies in the
engagements of Thursday. Friday and
Saturday were about 800 killed or
wounded.
"The gnus of the allies did immense
damage to the native city on Friday,
causing many large conflagrations and
finally silenced the majority of the ene
my's guns simultaneously. Then 3,500
Russians, assisted by small parties of
Germans and French, assaulted and cap
tured eight guns that were in position on
the railway embankment and the fort,
the magazine of which the French sub
sequently blew up.
"A body of American, British, Japa
nese and Austrian troops then made a
sortie and attacked the west arsenal,
which the Chinese had reoccupied. Aft
er three hours of the hardest fighting yet
experienced the Chinese lied. When the
nrsenal had been evacuated by the Chi
nese, the Americans, French, Japanese
fend Welsh fusileers advanced toward
the native city nnd joined with the other
Attacking forces. The Japanese infan
try and n mounted battery advanced to
the foot of the walls, supported by the
Americans and French. Despite valiant
Ittacks the allies were only able to hold
the positions gained outside the walls
J preparatory to renewing the assault the
next morning.
"The casualties sustained by the allies
were exceedingly heavy, especially those
of the Americans, French and Japanese.
Several explosions in the native city
were caused by the bombardment. The
Chinese appear to have exhausted then
supply of smokeless powder, as they arc
now using black powder."
