The secrecy of their movements lead to the bellef that the condition of the | Dowager Empress Frederick of Germany | is more serfous that had been admitted. The critical condition of the Dowager Empress Frederick of Germany is caus. ing grave anxiety in England, not only on her own account, but tarough fear of the effect of her death on Queen Victoria. The loss of her son, the Duke of Edin- burgh, and of her cousin, the Duchess of Teck, and the terrible death roll in South Africa, have tried the Queen sore- 1y. Another family loss, it is feared, might wrench to the breaking point the wonderful constitution and fortitude of Great Britain’s ruler.

Irritation of | ONDON/ Oct. 13. express teo strongly of the British Forelgn Office over the latest developments in the Chinese negotiations, and its hope- lessness of any working arrangement be ing arrived at in the near future exceeds, if anything, its irritation, the chief cause of which, to quote an official, is the ex- traordinary and unreasonable publicity given diplomatic communications even before they are officially communicated to the other powers. Amerlea, according to the view by this official, whose opinion may be presumed to echo Lord Salisbury among the offenders in this | “How,” ccntinued the informant of the correspondent, n we be expected to arrive at conclusions when the Chinese are given the opportunity every step in the negotiations, which themselves are as intr te as the world has seen.

Not at present, at sny rate. Not until the present curi- cus policy of making Peking diplomatic intercourse a matter of premature public discusslon comes to an end.

Judging by the unanimity of the miners in accepting the above resolutions, and by the determined stand taken by the opera~ tors, it is generally believed a long con- | test between the $trikers and mine owners is not unlikely. There was great enthusi- asm in the convention when the counter- proposition to the operators was carried | and three cheers were given for President Mitchell. The resolutions were drafted | by & committee of thirteen appotuted at | the morning session, of which the national president was chairman. | Mr. Mitchell in an interview with & rep- | resentative of the Associated Press on the outcome of the convention said: “The action of the delegates in the con- vention to-day In accepting an advance of | 10 per cent, providing they receive assur- | ances that the advance will continue In force until April 1 aext year, demon- strates that the miners are considerate of | the public Interests Involved and are dis- posed to be conciliatdry, and/ yet the mine-owners refuse to join hands with the\miners In bringing the strike to a close. The responsibility for the suffer- ing that it will entail on the poor in the large Eastern citles will rest entirely | with the operators. The operators v | now had an opportunity to prove tha "prnpnsllifm offered by them was mad. good faith. If they are willing to pay per cent advance they certatnly ought to | continue to pay it for six months. The | mine-workers will all remain on strike until officially notified by the officers of the unton that the strike is declared an end. There will be no exception o this rule. » | “I cannot understand any good reason why the operators should not accept the conditions named in the miners’ resolu- | tions. I, of course, hope that there will be a speedy termination of this contest, and I belleve that in the futdre the opera- tors will be disposed to treat with more | consideration their employes than they have In the past. | “I am entirely satisfied with the action | taken by the miners. They did not de- cide the question with a view of pleasing e, but took the step because its satis- | fled them. It was In their hands and they | showed an extraordinary spirit of fair- ness." | Whea Mr. Mitchéll was asked In what | manner the operators would be notifled, | as they do not recognize the Unitel | Mineworkers, he sald the employers would probably §nd it out through the newspapers. Both of to-day’'s sessions were agaln held in secret. At the morning session the entire wage scale was discussed in all L ita nhases, at
