In this communication the Secretary makes it | plain that the United States earnestly de- | sires that negotiations be opened with all expedition, believing that only such action | can prevent outbreaks inimical to for- | eigners in Southern China. Three of the F re not acceded to, but it is stated by officials that | to to them does not arily mean that the whole proposition will fail. As a matter of fact ench proposals assent nec this Government cordlally approves those proposals rela- authors of the outrages and payment of sufficient Indemnity by the Chinese Gov- ernment. Without the consent of Con- gress the President could not agree to the proposal contemplating the Interdiction of the importation of arms or the establish- ment of garrisons in foreign country. It is deemed essential #lat China should be in a position to defend herself, and, therefore, sent to join with other nations in razing the forts at Taku. Deep satisfaction 1s expressed in official circles at the punishment. the Chinése Government is reported to have inflicted upon Prince Tuan, who is banished to the imperial post roads on the Siberian fron- tier; Ying Nien, president of censorate; | Yarg Y1, aseistant grand secretary and presld(‘nl of the civil board, and Chao Shu Chia, president of the board of punish- ment, to be beheaded, and Princes Chwang and Yih and Duke Tsal Lan, who | will be tmprisoned for life. It is known that some of the powers of Europe, not- | ably Germany, will be disposed to insist upon the decapitation of Prince Tuan. | Officials ot the administration assert, | however, that the banishment of Prince Tuan is in itself a heavy punishment, and that many Chinamen have committed suf- cide rather than be taken to the Siberian | frontier. Conditions in Southern China are not at all good, there being unrest. Unsupported by the Chinese Government, the Viceroys have maintained peace and order, but the people are disposed to join in the anti-foreign movement, and unless | the powers take some action such as the | opening of peace negotiations which justi- fy the attitude of the Viceroys, it is dif- v what may happen.

Advices by the Olympla include the con- fession of Wan, the murderer of Baron von Ketteler, who was arrested by Jap- anese gendarmes while endeavoring to sell the Minister's watch. His story is that Prince Chwang issued orders that all foreigners should be killed.

Wan says that the first shot came from the | foreigners and that then fire was opened | on Baron von Ketfeler, who fell from a | bullet fired by Wan himself. Expedition to Paoting-Fu.

This occurred just before to this morr gathe y as 3 o starting time at the mine. The strikers remained at all mofive us the colliery morning. As the small mine loc 1 in hauling the coal from ) nd No. collieries to the Oneida breaker pulled up on the'road near the latter colliery a crowd of women blocked the track. The women were told by Gen- | eral Superintendent Cudlick to go home. | He assured them that their husbands | | would get an increase in wages and that thelr other grievances would be properly adjusted. The women refused to listen and stoned the superintendent, who was wounded in the head. Then the striking men and women rushed toward the colliery.~ A force of about fifty special policemen who had been brought down from Beaver Meadow to prevent trouble attempted to intercept the mob, but they were powerless to do| anything and retired to the engine-house. | Just as the officers got close to shelter a shot was fired. This was followed by another, and in a few seconds many shots | rang through the air. Policeman Mills | was the first to fall. Then Joseph Lekow, 1 a striker, staggered to the ground.

His chief deputy, James O Don- nell, arrived here this afternoon and went to the scene with a force of men. Carl Houser, a Lithuanian minister from Freeland, who baptized a child at | Onelda just at the time the shooting was in progress, was mistaken by the strikers for Superintendent Kudlick and narrowly escaped being stoned. He was soon recog- nized by a friend and escorted safely to the station. Not one colliery is row In operation In the Hazleton district. Coxe Bros. & Co. have guards at every approach to the Oneida and Derringer collierfes to-night. PARADE OF STRIKING MINERS. Thousands of Workers Pass ih Re- view at Scranton.

Generally speaking Mr. Rhodes was ciliatory in his remarks. He declared th: that “Krugerism had vanished™” establish @ liberal government, “which would do everything possible to unite the interests of South Africa with those of the empire.” Mr. Rhodes also said there was no de- sire to plaster Rhodesia on Cape Colony, intimating that it was likelier to be the other way, but he thought Rhodesia would be one of the Federal States, with on now | great opportunities for expansion in the direction of the Congo. He then sald: ow that the battle is | over, the disputes on the origin of the war The race question must be subordinated. The league should sup- port three points—the supremacy of the flag, equal rights and show the Duteh that there is no feeling against them. Having won what it is entitled to, the league ought to demonstrate that the in- terests of the races are the same. Then there will be great hope for the country.” S Rejected.
