The sheriffs of Luzerne and Carbon counties today is sued a warning: proclamation to the strikers and others' proclaiming: that those guilty of disorder would be se verely punished to the fullest extent. The riot act was quoted and the proc lamation was posted all over the min ing districts. The cause of the procla mation was a descent upon the collier ies by a mob of 300 men 'ed by "Moth er" Jones and fifty women, armed with clubs and revolvers, determined to co erce the miners into quitting. The guards kept them away, but this after noon union officials succeeded in induc ing the Cileraine employes to strike. The conditions are peaceful tills ev ening Ibut an ugly feeling exists and trouble is feared Monday. Organizer Soppit went to Oneida last night and (began to make a speech in the street to miners when he was overwhelmed with a shower of bad eggs, tomatoes, tin cans, etc., and. compelled to flee. SOLDIERS AT (SHENANDOAH. Shenandoah, Sept. 22. This section now resembles an armed camp.

CALMNESS IN LEHIGH REGION. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 22. Calmness prevails throughout the Lehigh region. No disturbances of any moment were reported in any part of the district. There is still? however, a tense feeling in the public mind. The sending of troops to Shenandoah, twenty-five miles from here, is generally regarded as bringing matters to a crisisand the situation here is therefore somewhat relieved. Armed deputies are distri buted near most of the collieries and along.severat of the public roads lead ing to mining property. There was the usual number of strikers out early this morning to persuade workers not to go into the mines, but they did not meet with as much success as on the previ ous days of this week. Strikers were careful not to carry their persuasion to "the point of Intimidation, thus avdidlng a conflict with the deputies. The lat ter so far h&ve not made themselves conspicuous, they having received1 or ders from the sheriff to in every way minimize the possibility of getting into trouble with the strikers.

Shanghai Degraded. Correspondence Regarding Punish ment of Boxer Leaders. AMERICAN NAVAL FORCE IN CHINESE WATERS TO BE IN CREASED WITH THE WITH DRAWAL, OF THE LAND FORCE. Shanghai, Sept. 22. and dowager empress The emperor refuse to de- ' nounce Tuan and the other memibers of the imperial clan who sympathize with the boxers and it is evident that crpwd is on the top again. The worst edict issued by the throne since the flight of the court was received here today. Af ter the arrival of the allies at Pekin three edicts were issued and each bit terly denounced the boxers. The edict received today says: "Boxers ana Christians do not appreciate the fact that both boxer and Christian commun ities are our people and aee regarded by us in the same light. If Christians go about their usual business we will pro tect them. High officials should in struct subordinates to command boxers to disperse. If they refuse we shall use the military against them." The memorial of the peace commis sioners, denouncing Tuan and other of ficials and asking for their punishment and that of the boxers leaders . reach ed the throne September 15, and this edict seems to be a reply. iA"t Today the taotai of Shanghai was de graded to the position of provincial judge.

This was the first sign of vengeance which Tuan's party proposes to wreak on the officials of the southern I prov inces who have been friendly to the foreigners. THE PUNISHMENT OF BOXERS.

It proposes at an early date to name plenipotentiaries for negotiating a set tlement and as a preliminary author izes our minister to China to confer with the duly authorized representa tives of China who are recognized as Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang.
