PARIS, Fraxce, Aug. 31.—Tue recep- | tion o! President Faure upon the occasion of his return from Russia, after partici- pating in the arrangement resulting in the alliance of Russia and France, was an especially brilliant affair.

The President’s remarks were greeted with frantic applause, and the military bands in atten fance played the “Marseil- laise” and the Russian hymn.

LONDON, Exc., Sept. L.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Tabrez confirms the news of heavy fighting between the Kurds and Armenians on the frontier. The commander of cavalry of the Kurds was killed, according to the report, and his son narrowly escaped. The losses of the Kurds are variously estimated at from 500 to 600 killed and wounded. The Arme- nians claim to have lost only 20. r ! £ in JAPAN A DESIENS ON THE CANAL Is Secretly Negotiating With the “*Greater Republic.” COSTA RICA NOT IN THE PLOT.

NICARAGUA, NIcARAGUA (via Galves- ton, Tex.), Aug. 3L—The Government ot Japan is secretly negotiating with the Diet of the Greater Republic of Central America, now sitting at Salvador, for the construction of the Nicarazuan canal in- dependent of the interests and influence of the United States or other nations. This would result, if permitted, in the abrogation of all treaty rights possessed by the United States in relation io inter- oceanic transit and in the forfeiture of the American canal concession from Nicaragus.

It is expected that the single operator still holding out will be finally induced to yield, and that the great strike will thus be brought to a speedy and peaceful close.” PITTSBURG, FPa., Aug. 3L—At the Monongahela House, the headquarters of the operators 1n this city, the news of the expected settlement of the miners’ strike was at first received with incredulity. It was an unlookea-for thing, and not one of the operators present could believe the report until confirmative news was ob- tained from Cleveland. A meeting of all the operators in the | city will be hela at the Monongahela House to-morrow morning to take such action as is necessary to have representa- tives at the conference to be held by the officers and members of the executive board of the Mine-workers and the execu- tive committee of the Cleveland operators’ combination, either in Cleveland or Co- Jumbus on Thursday.

SEATTLE, Wasn, Auz. 3L.—The re- peated ana authentic reports of the con- tinued blockade of prospectors along the Chilcoot and White passes has had a ten- dency to divert gold-hunting expeditions to other Alaskan gateways. 3 Copper River seems now to be a popular mecca for which many hundreds of men have either started or are arranging to start frora this coast. The desire to ex- plore the couniry contiguous to that river has been quickened during the past few days in Seattle by the repeiition oi a story that is given as authentic and has raised the'hoves of prospectors that a sec- ond Klcv ke of immense wealth has been discovered near our shores. It is said that two years ago a party of four prospectors from New York went to Sound and, from what they there learned, decided to explore the Copver River. After going up about nine miles they caught sight of an emaciated man wandering through the woods. His actions were so peculiar that the party started after him and, owiug to his weak- WinTER ScEne Apove Discovery’ ON THE BONANZA.

The United States Minister here be- lieves that when thenews reaches Wash- ington the State Department will send a note to Japan asking if she is a:eking to interfere with our treaty rights in the premises. The Americans in Nicaragua believe that the United States Government will insist that her interoceanic treaties with Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras and Columbia are yet in force, although the Diet ¢ aims ibat Nicaragua ana Honduras are no longer separa e and individnal na- tions and are therefore irresponsible. END OF THE BIG STRIKE. Agreement Reached by Which All the Coal-Miners Will Kesume Work in a Few Days. COLUMBUS, Osio, Aug. 3L.—The coal strike is consiiered seitled here. The plan is to resume at 64 cents and work pending arbitration. The direct parties n this conference of adjustiaent is President Ratchford of the United Mine-workers and the executive committee of the operators. A number of the latter were in the city to-day and the result is that a decision may beé looked for almost at any moment. The direct result of this decision will be the opening of the mines and of the resumption of work by all striking min- ers the beginning of the coming week. An operator here says: United Mine-workers of America, Wil- liam Murdock and James Gordon are freed from the taint of contempt of court in Washingion County. Judge J. A. Mcllvain-, at Washington, Pa., to-day discharged the rule on them to show cause why they should not be pun- ished for contempt for attempting to march at McGovern last week. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 31.—When shown the dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, stating that the coal strike was | considered there as settled, Presi- dent Ratchford of the United Mine- workers' of America acknowledged that he had received a proposition to have | the miners resume work at 64 cents pend- ing arbitration. He added: “‘Our executive council meets at Colum- bus, Ohio, to-morrow night, and the propo- sition of Mr. Young, who represents a large number of operators, will be consid- ered with other matters.” HARS.
