And If Their Decreed Punishment Fits

! Franee' s Suggestion for a Permanent
Settlement
QUESTION OF PElRMITTING THE
CHINESE COURT TO RETURN TO
PEKIN VON WALTERS EE'S
COMING RECEPTION TO THE
ANCIENT CAPITAL.
iWashington, Oct. 4. The Uniited
States governmemit has taken, another
decisive step in 'the development of the
Chinese satuaition in a note delivered to
day hy Secretary Hay to the- German
charge d'affaires, Baron Speck von
Sternberg. In .the note favorable ac
tion by this govenmment on Germany's
latest suggestion concerning the pun
ishment of Chinese criminals ds ex
pected, and tine announcement is made
that the United States has already sen:
instructions o Minister Conger along
the Lines indicated. The instt ructions
to Minisiter Conger are that he shall
learn the names of the Chinese offend
ers who are -to be punished, also wheth
er the punishment ito be administered
is adequate .to their offences, and
finally whether the punishments are
actually administered.
The American mote is considered imost
impontam't in the estimate of complete
unity on the questions .between; the
United States and Germany.
VAGUENESS OF THE EDICT.
Washington, Oct. 4. The answer of
the United States to JOe new sugges
tions of Germany were delivered today
to oVn Sterberg, the German charge
d'affaires says that the government is
disposed to regard the Chinese edict
as satisfaction of the injury and out
rage suffered by the powers, insisting,
however, that it has been thought
well considering the vagueness of the
edict, to signify to the Chinese minis-J
ter that it would be most regrettable
if Tuan should escape the full meas
ure of exemplary punishment, or if
Kang Ti and Chao tehu Chiao should
Teceive other than their just deserts.
j The UnitedStates minister at Pekin has
i therefore been instructed to report
j whether the edict completely names the
i persons deserving chastisement, wheth
l .er the punishment is adequate, and in
what jnaner the powers are to be as
sured that satisfactory punishment Is
inflicted. The memorandum concludes
by expressing the hope that Conger's
replies will confirm the United States
in the opinion it now shares with Ger
many that the edict is an important in
itial step in the direction of peace.
FRENCH PROPOSALS.
Thibaut, the French charge d' af
faires, this afternoon delivered to the
secretary tof state a copy of the note
containing suggestions for permanent
settlement already known. France pro
j poses the punishment of the anti-for-!
ei'gn agitators, the maintenance of le
: gation guards, prohibition of importa
j tion of war munitions, he razing of the
forts between Pekin and the sea, pay
ment of indemnity free communication
between Pekin and the seaboard and
I guarantees that there shall not be a re
newal of the anti-foreign outbreaks.
Officials do not approve all of the sug
gestion. The Russian charge inform
ed the secretary off state this afternoon
that Russia approved the French sug
gestions. It is believed officially that
the French' proposals won't complicate
the (situation. Minister Wu has me
morialized the Chinese emperor to re
turn to Pekin and the Chinese minis
ters in Europe have followed his ex-
! ample. y

has moved westward to Sigan Fu, the
capital of Shen Si province.- Sigan Fu
was the old capital of China. The rea
son of the change from Taiyuen Fu
was the fear that the allies would send
an expedition to the latter place.
DENT ANNEXATION.
Chicago, Oct. 4. A despatch from
the Record staff correspondent at
Mtoscow says: From official sources the
Record correspondent has learned that
the reports that have appeared so per
sistently in foreign newspapers an
nouncing that Russia has annexed
Manchuria are false. There has been
no annexation and none jvill be at
tempted. General Rennenkampf has occupied
Shalihe. The rebels' appeared at Sant
Chakoff, near the Cossack settlement of
Poltavski. Colonel Kopejkln defeated
them and (occupied Santchakoff . Three
Russians were killed and wounded.
Forty-three rebels were killed.
The boxers have appeared at Tutai,
thirty-one miles northeast of Pekin.
There have been disturbances at
Shanghai and some Christian villages
in that neighborhood have been looted.
MONUMENTS OF VENGEANCE.
Chicago, Oct. 4. A Record corre
spondent cables from Shanghai:
Dr. Martin, president ia-the Imperial
university aL-Pekin, who has resided In
China during the last fifty-three years,
lectured here on the incidents of the
siege of the legations in that city. In
the course of his lecture he said:
"In the sight Of heaven I say that in
every place where Christian blood has
been shed some monument of ven
geance should point toward heaven as a
warning to all. Vengeance is only jus
tice." Dr. Martin blamed Mr. Conger, the
United States minister, for want of
knowledge of the state of affairs. He
praised the conduct of the members of
the legation during the siege.
Missionary Lewis and his wife have
arrived safely at Chang King.
TQ WELCOME WALDERSEB.
Pekin, Sept. 29. :Ut is proposed to
install Field Marshal von Waldersee in
office in the emperor's palace, which is
now held by the Russians. The Rus
sians object, as they say the emperor
will occupy the palace on his return.
The precise scope of von Waldersee's
powers are icot generally understood
here. Chaffee says he will not report
to him as he 'hasn't received such or
ders from Washington.
The Manchu princes, governors and
generals have memorialized the-jcourt to
return-to Pekin. It ist believed, how
ever, tins (the? Grrhians witl "hot allow
the court to return.
At a conference of generals it was
decided to welcome von Waldersee to
Pekin. with proper mSlitiaTy honors. A
squadron of cavalry will be sent to
Tung Chow to act as an escort. The
Russian legation- hauled down its ffag
his mornimg and started for Tien Tsin.
MORE MISSIONARIES MASSACRED.
(London, Oct. 4. A Shanghai despatoh
to Ithe Times reports on good authority
that fifty-six missionaries north of
Shansi, hitherto reported imissing, have
all been massacred. The same cor
respondent records persistent reports of
grave disagTeemenits between' the allies.
A news agency despatch from Tien
Tsin accords with earlier reports that
the Russians occupied Shanaikwan un
opposed some days ago.
NEW! NOTE FROM GERMANY.
Berlin, Oct. 4. An official of the for
eign office informs the Associated
Press that Germany is issuing a second
note to the powers regarding the meth
od of securing punishment for those
guility of the outrages in China. This
note is issued1 as a result of the edict
of the emperor of China beginning pro
ceedings against Prince Tuan. and oth
ers. The new note is as follows:
"The emperor of China has addressed
to the powers ata edict dated Septem
ber 25, in which he orders the punish
ment of a number of princes, mention

Boxers. On tlbe assumption tnat ithe

creased majorities and Captain Lamb
ton, of the British cruiser Powerful,
upon whom the liberals counted to deal
a crushing blow to the government
finds himself at the bottom of the poll.
James Lawrence Carew, Irish na
tionalist, has been defeated in the con
test in the College Green division of
Dublin, which he represented in the
last parliament, the opposition to him
growing out of he fact that he attend
ed a levee of the Duke of York. Mr.
Carew seized upon the opportunity of
John Howard Parnell, losing his seat at
South Meath to put himself forward
for South Meath, and, owing to a
tecnhioality, he was elected without op
position. Mr. Carew may now recon
sider his offer to resign South Meath
in favor of Mr. Parnell.

other seat, Sunderland, from the liber
als. The results of yesterday's elections

which is placarded today, says:
"I do not participate in party poli
tics but as an indignant protest against
the slighting remarks of a minister of
the crown on labor representatives, and
as a fellow laborer in the great labor
cause, I ask you to convey to Council
lor Stevens nay best hopes for his suc
cess." Lady Warwick's reference is to the
remarks made by Mr. Chamberlain at
Birmingham, September 29, when he
attacked the labor members of parlia
ment, none of whom, he said, in twenty-five
years had initiated legislation
for, the benefit of the laboring classes.
The conservatives suffered defeat in the

the polling being as follows: J. Mc
Cann, independent nationalist, 3,431;

DANGER.
Hazleton, Oct. 4. The question of
granting relief to the strikers will soon
require the attention of the Mine
Workers' union official. Telegrams
have come from the Wyoming district
asking information and stating that
hundreds of families are ilready des
titute there. Otherwise there were few
developments today.
A crowd attempted to prevent the
men employed at the Lehigh Valley
shaft No. 40 from working but depu
ties dispersed the men without trouble.
The collieries in Panther Creek valley
are still working despite the strenuous
efforts of the strikers to close them.
President Mitchell was informed today
that the Reading collieries at Towee
City, Good Spring-and -Lincoln in the
Schuylkill district were finally closed
this morning. Mitchell says the col
liery at Treverton is the only one of
that company now working. It is re
ported that the Reading company is
considering the question of recogniz
ing the union.
ARMED STRIKERS DISSUADED.
Shamokin, Oct. 4.-The wildest ex
citement prevailed in this city this ev
ening when it was learned that 3,000
armed strikers from Mt. Carmel were
going to march through this city to
Treverton to close down the North
Franklin colliery. Four thousand 'as
sembled here ready to join the march
when Secretary Hartline, of the district
union, addressed them. He said he
had stopped the Mt. Carmel men and
persuaded them to disperse. He ad
vised the men to follow their example.
It is believed the danger point is now
passed. Two hundred and fifty special
Shamokin officers were rushed to the
colliery this afternoon and further to
avoid danger of a conflict the colliery
officials decided to shut down until the
strike was settled.
CONCESSIONS NOT SUFFICIBNT.
Shenandoah, Pa., Oct. 4. -Concessions
announced yesterday by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company were not sufficient to in
duce the striking mine workers Of the
Schuylkill region to return to the col
lieries today. Mr. Potter, organizer
and leader of the foreign iine workers
here, says he has made a careful can
vass of the town and finds the strikers
determined to remain out until ordered
to work by the mine workers' conven
