The feature of the strike situation today was the clos ing down of the Barton colliery at Car- bondale. The operators are about to play a. strong card. It is not definitely known Just .what shape it "will take but it is conjectured their scheme is to mass all the men willing to work at several collieries and put them in op eration. WORKERS MOBBED.

PRESIDENT PREPAR'NG A NOTE TO THE POWERS Boxers MtiBt be Punished Teliu De stroyed by the Allies. Washington, Sept. 20. The presi dent's return to "Washington is to be marked by another step toward the set tlement of the Chinese question. He is preparing a note to the powers which will reject Germany's proposal for punishment of the guilty leaders of the boxers, as a condition precedent to the beginning of peace negotiations.

The enemy fled in the direction of Sheng Fang. Teliu wast destroyed. - Yokohama, Sept. 7, via Victoria, Sept. 20.The country is tremendously stirred up by the discussion of Russia's proposition to withdraw from Pejan. .. While there is no fear of Russia there is the deepest distrust of her diplomacy, and a conviction that an alliance exists between the Muscovite power and the empress dowager's government. The political situation here now hangs up on the outcome of the Russian ques tion. An account has just reached here of the straits to which the Pekin garrison was reduced from lack of ammunition during the last days of the siege. Every ora.i oi mecai, no matter how valua ble, was utilized, and it is said that the enemy was greatly encourasred when silver bullets were rained upon them this being an intimation of tho .fnv of the garrison's supply of ammuni tion.

UTAH SENATOR APPOINTED DURING GOVERNOR'S ABSENCE Judge 0. W. Power Given the Place by a Sharp Trick. Chicago, Sept. 20. A special to the Tribune from Salt Lake, Utah, says: While Governor "Wells and Secretary of State Hammond were in Idaho last night to meet Governor Roosevelt and escort him to this city, Judge O. W Powers, of Salt Lake, a democrat, was appointed TJnlted States senator. The appointment was made by Aq-uila JNebeker, president of the senate, who is acting governor according to the con stitution. It was signed a little while Deiore mianignt at which time the train bearing Governor Wells was ex pected to cross the line into Utah. I he last legislature was democratic although the state officers are republi can. There was a bitter fight for the senatorship between A. W. McCune, of Salt Lake, and Congressman W. H. Jvmg. An adjournment was taken without breaking the deadlock. The seat has remained vacant. The demo crats aiscoverea last night they had the acting governor. Mr. Nebeker con sulted a lawyer and was told he had power to make the appointment. He accordingly did so. The state seal was locked up and could hot ;be obtained. but Mr. Nebeker's lee-al advisers? main tain his action was valid anyway. The appointment was drawn care fully in legal form, signed and witness ed. A formal a with the secretary of state.

Morganton, N. C, Sept. 2. The fol lowing address has been issued to the populists of the Eighth congressional district: We, your executive committee, in meeting assembled at Lenoir, N. C... after careful consultation and deliber ation, having the best interests of our party and the country at heart, do issue this our address to our brethern of this district and to all others who favor good government by a free ballot and fair count. Twelve months ago, or even six months ago when it was understood that Mr. W. J. Brayn was to lead the great free silver forces of this na tion to victory, and the party behind him in order to prove their good faith and combine all the forces and factions favoring this plank in the platform agreed to nominate as a running mate with Mr. Bryan a free silver republican or a true populist; but instead, and ov er the protest of our great leader, jon. Marion Butler, chairman of the nation al executive committee of the people's party, they have put ,f orward a candi date for vice president with Mr. Bry an Adlai Stevenson, . who was second in command in the Cleveland defunct administration; therefore no greater insult could fbe offered to any populist in the nation. Further, we contend that no self-re specting .populist in the state will or can support Bryan and Stevenson af ter the treatment that the populists in this state have received from the hands of the leading democrats and so-called champions of iBryan and Stevenson. 'Truth crushed to earth will rise again." Drunken mobs, red shirts, rotten egg hoodlums, intimldntirm fraud and ballot box stuffing cannot succeed long at a time in a state or na tion; reaction will take place and the principles inculcated by the populist party are bound to succeed sooner or later. Under existing: circumstance this year in this state it will not ibe considered disloyal for populists to se lect the best men among all the candi dates out of the different parties for president and vote as their (better udgment dictates, and to those popu lists who have burned the bridges be hind them and have been in the middle of the road from the beginning it goes without saying that they will heartily support Wharton J. Barker, of Penn sylvania, for president, and Ignatius Donnelly for vice president, both standard bearers of the principles that underlie the grandest .Dartv that thi nation has everx given birth to, namely the populist party. Tour committee heartily endorses the sentiment expressed in the leading ed itorial of the Caucasian of September 6, and trust that every populist will act accordingly. Who will we support for congress? Tour committee has carefully gur- (Continued on fourth page.)
