Although the strike situation is. practically un changed there is a 'growing conviction that the fight wil be a long drawn out one, mainly due to the clash of inter ests of individual operators and coal carrying companies . The operators say they cannot advance wages unless the carrying companies equalize matters by lower freight rates. It is believed that the companies won't make conces sions, with the deliberate intention of crowding the independent collieries out of business or to induce them to sell ! out to the companies at low figures. Presiden Mdtchell (his evening stated that the report was incorrect that in a conference in New" York this morning between the coal presidents and himself an agreement "was reached which would end the strike. He denied hav ing conferred with the presidents and reiterated that there would .be no set tlement until the miners'' convention was held. NIEfW YORK CONFERENCE. New York, Oct. 3. Vice President Henderson of the Reading railroad was here most of the -day attends ng a con ference of ithe coal railroad executive officers. It was reported the commun icatioa' was had with President Mitch ell of the mine 'workers over the tele phone and good progress was made to ward ending the sitrike. TWO MINES SHUT DOWN. Potttsville, Pa., Oct. 3.

Both are Philadelphia and Reading opera tions. Goodspring employs about 500 hands made up of mine workers from Donaldson and Tremont, to and from which place and the Brookside colliery they are daily conveyed by miners' train. Lincoln colliery, another of the Philadelphia and Reading's posses sions, located south of Brookside In the same basin, is working with 900 em- ! ployes, many whom live at Pine Grove i and vicinity. This is the only one of that company's collieries in the lower district at work. The only mine owned by them in operation is the north Franklin, at Treverton. Loach, Moore & company's collieries in Rausch Creek valley, also near Tremont, is working. COULD NOT REACH WORKMEN. Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 3. Two marches took place this morning, one from Milnesville, near here and the other from Crystal Ridge. The Milnesville marchers, 100 strong, went to Lattimer, but not being allowed on the com pany's property they could not reach the workmen there and nobody stopped work. Cranberry was1 the objective point of the Crystal (Ridge marchers, they numbering only twenty-five men, and did not succeed in accomplishing anything in the way of inducing men to refrain from going into th Pardee mine at that place.

'Via Sami Fran cisco, Oct. 3. A circumstantial narra tive of ithe massacres in Shan Si pro .vt&ce has reached here through a na tWe Christian! teacher, who escaped, and after a remarkable journey ithrough the country by foot and boat, ha Just arrived. This man is a graduate from the North China college, speaking En glish fluently, aafii absolute confidence is placed in his statements by the American missionaries. jtiis story confirm previously report ed, murders and adds details of shock -insr cruelties. It covers a period from early June witen the trouble began, dowojjjto the latest known outrage, iwhifdR .W?s previously reported in the' Associated Press despatches, August 15 at Yen Chou Fu, about fifty miles eoutthwest of Tasyuan, when Mr. and Mrs. Atwater and their two little chil dren, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Price, their son, all of the American 'board; Mr. and Mrs. Laugreu of the Sweedish mis sion, and Miss Eldxedge, an Einglish lady, were butchered. The refugee's story of the murders direcfcly implicates Hu Hsdem, the gov ernor of Shan Si, who has previously been charged with instigating a'nd a bet- it ing- the killing of foreigners. The old prefect of Yen Show Fu died shortly be fore Auust 13 and the governor of Shan S5 sent a new man, who two days af- tter his arrival demanded of the local officials why the foreigners had not been expelled. The district magistrate, who was friendly to the missionaries, replied that there was no occasion for their expulsion, butt under compulsion arrested the chief dispenser of the hos pital. The man was given 300 blows and 'the demand was made that he should secure the arms in the posses sion of the mission. They were ac cordingly given up two pistols and two rifles. The demand was repeated that they must 'hasten their departure. Four country carts were prepared for ithem and their goods duly packed;. They were to start am August 15, guarded by twenty soldiers. The teach er, on the advice of one of the soldiers, escaped from the party some few miles from the village of Ksi Shin. The pairty was supposed' to be sent to Ping Yao, about thirty miles from Fu Chow. When not far away on his line of escape he heard the firing of a gun. Heuif terward learned that this was the sigtia-1 for the attack -upon the party. They' were escorted by the soldier a fe7 miles further where they were met by another detachment and all were aibtacked and killed with swords. HEADS PLACED ON GATES. Going back 'to early in June, this man gives a graphic awl apparently reliable account of all the murders in the Shan Si province. Much of it is too horrible for publication. Men, women amd chil dren were butchered, itheir bodies muti lated and in many instances 'their heads were placed on the gates of the vil lages. So far as known, the first mur der occurred June 28, when two wome'n, members of the China India mission, were killed at Hisia Ti Hsi Fu. They were Miss Whiitechurch and Miss Sew ell, who Hved alone at 'the mission, a remote place. The next outrage took place at Show Yang, about 75 n.il,es from Tai Yuan Fu, 'which was a mission station of the Independent Workers, on June 29. The s.ory of this massacre, if true, leaves little doubt of the guilt of the local Chinese authorities and also of the gov ernor of the province. In all thirty- h-ree persons were slain. Among .them were Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Piggott, their son; Mr. Robertson, a tutor; Miss Duval, a teacher, and two daught ers of Rev. Mr. Atwater of Yen Chow Fu. They were arrested aind seat to Tai Yuan. On -the march they suffered terribly. On arriving at Tai Yuan they were placed in separate rooms and suf fered many indignities. A complete list of all foreigners was demanded by the governor on July 7. He them or dered ithem all to come to his yamen, assuring them they would be protecteci and escorted' safely to the coast. BETRAYED TO THEIR DEATH. The order was complied' with and the entire party of foreigners was ad mitted between files of soldiers through' the outer gate to the court. Once safejy in the walls of the yamen, the ranks of the soldiers opened and about forty; Boxers were admitted. Thev fell u-pom the unarmed missionaries with swords, and a horrible butchery ensued. The bodies of the unfortunate men and wo men were hacked to pieces, their heads cut off and placed in baskets which were suspended' over the four gates of the city. Forty native Christians were also slahm and the following day the Catholic priests, said to be Frenchmen were beheaded'. In addition to the Pig gotm party from' Shou Yang, the follow ing perished at Tai Yuan Ki: Mr. Stokes and wife, Mr. Simpson and wife Mr. Beinan, wife and three childreT Mo. Farthing, wife and ithree children Dr. Leavitt, wife and one child Dr. Miller Wilson and wife, Mr. White house and wife. According to reports CALX, FOR IT It is imitated, huit not equalled .

GERMANY SATISFIED With Course of China in Of fering to Punish the Eight Princes The Program She Now Wish es to be Followed, Negotiations May Now Go Forward for a Peace Treaty. Geimam and Janacese Cauture Boxer Stronghold RUSSIANS SAID TO HAVE CAP TURED A HUNDRED MILLION TAELS FROM THE CHINESE EM PEROR'S PALACE HAN HAI KWAN SEIZED iBY THE POWERb. Washington, Oct. 3. Oermany has signified her entire satisfaction with the course taken by the Chinese gov ernment in offering to punish the eight guilty princes, and to all nations con cerned has indicated that negotiations may now go forward and has sugested the course she would like to see follow ed. First, it is understood the minis ters at Pekin will determine whether the eight offenders named by China are the real culprits. Second, they will find out what pun ishment China will of her own accord decide to inflict. Third, the ministers will determine beyond question that this punishment is carried out, posst bly by witnessing lits infliction. The course naturally to be followed then will be to enter upon negotiations for future treaties and indemnities. Ger many is now eptimltie that peace will to ttoieie tthe outewme of Ow difficulty. Germany's several communications have been transmitted to President McKinley and the answer will probably not be made until the president re turns to Washington. It may be said, however, that the 'German attitude is so satisfactory that the response will be in accord with it, except possibly wuth slight modifications. WAR MOVEMENTS IN CHINA. Pekin, Sept. 27. A force of Germans and Japanese captured' Huang Tiun, where th boxers amhushed the Jap anese patrol, killing an officer and two men. When the force entered the town it was found that the boxers had fled. The Germans will return and the Jap anese push further south. General Linevitch, the Russian com mander has gone to Tien Tsin. Before his departure, at a conference of gen erals, Linevitch stated that the Rus sians would push the work of complet ing the railway communication with Tien Tsin as rapidly as possible. There is a persistent rumor that the Russians have captured a hundred million taels from the emperor's palace. The Vienna commander of the Aus trian naval force in Chinese waters cables that in accordance with instruc tions from Von Waldersee It was de cided at a council of the admirals on September 28 to seize Shan Hal Kwan. British warships thereupon demanded the surrender of the place and the Chinese evacuated it. The British flag was hoisted over the town and other flagships are going there to hoist the flags of their respective governments over the forts. The social status of the women of Mexico is a matter of undoubted inter est ito the women of our older repub lic.
