A high member of the mission, referring %o the adverse criticisms of the recent ap- pointments of Chinese diplomats, informed the correspondent of ‘the Associated Press that these were not applicable to Liang Cheép Tung, whe was specially chosen on account of his American education and ex- perience. He had held the important post of secretary to three of the last foreign missions, and had just received a high dec- oration—the blue button. He already held the brevet red button, which is a higher distinction at court, but the blue button e bearer leaves Pekin. The holder of a blue button when visiting the provinces is ac- corded the honors and distinctions of a viceroy or governor. , Liang Chen Tung has recelved a mumber of congratulatory letters and cablegrams, one of the latter being from John W.

The date of bis departure has not been set, as it depends on the arrival here of Liang Oben Tung, who is to succeed him, from London. The change cannot be made jn- side of a monfh or six weeks.

The action of the union s uncertain, although the situation to- night indicates that there will be no walk- out of the men. There are some things that may change the situation, so that speculation regarding the result is prac- tically worthless. If President Mitchell would declare his personal pteferences it ‘would not be difficult to foretell the out- cofne. At present he controls the situation ab- solutely and can swing the delegates either way. He will not say openly what he wishes, however, asserting that it ie the province of the delegates to decide regard- ing the strike, and that while he is willing to advise, under no circumstances will he assume to dlictate to the convention what it shall do. He said this afternoon, how- ever, that the convention would take ac- tion which would result in the winning of the atrike by the anthracite men in the east. It no strike is ordered by the conven- tion, it is likely that action wiil be taken with the object of curialling the output of soft coal, and that every effort will be made to keep it out of the anthracite re. glon. To this end the bituminous men may decide to work a fewer number of hours a day and to mine no more coal than may be necessary. The sentiment among the delegates, as far as it can be determined from those already here, is against a strike. John P. Re president of the Iowa miners, d clares that he is for a strike only last resort. J. W. Howe, president of the Tennessee miners, will not declare him- elf, saying he will use his best judgment, but the members of his delegation they are not In favor of a strike If it can be avolded. convention of The Missourl men are against a strike and are instructed to fight against it on the floor of the convention. Alexander Patterson, who represents the Colorado miners, says he does not favor a strike only as the last resort. The Indlana men are inst a strike. The deleg: from Illinols are partly uninstructed and others have instructions agalnst a etrike. Those who_ are uninstructed will not declare what they will do, but many of them say they are opposed to a strike. W. F. Wil president of the Michigan delegation this afternoon that the men from his stale have never declared in favor of a strike. The Michigan district signed the call for the convention and it was generally thought that they would favor a strike. But this, Mr. Williams, declares, is not the fact. The delegates from the anthracite reglons are strongly in favor of a strike, but are urging their views with modera- tion. There seems to be little selfishne: in the action of any of the delegations and they promptly declare themselves for the greatest good for the greatest number of the organization. The men who say that they are against a strike time that they are willing to strike if they see no other way to the anthraci! miners. The anthracite miners declare that while they are anxious to have all the ald that can help them to win the strike they are not disposed to force the bitum nous miners to break their comtracts un- less It proves for the salvation of the or- ganization. It is not likely that a vote on the question of striking will be taken be- fore Saturday.

The stock that is now offered will keep only a short time and for that reason dealers must find an outlet or have them spoil on their hands. It is quite a problem, however, to find an outlet, for reports from nearly all sectlons of the country show that this is by no means the only place where there are more potatses than immediate requirements demand.

The cause for the heavy receipts of the last few days is the exceptionally large crop in all sections tributary to this mar- ket.

It is expected, however, that from this time on the trouble from that source will decrease and that the market will soon be in a normal condition. Amusement: Krug Park.
