Correspondence Between the United States and France. Suggestion for the maintenance of the Open Door in China. PECULIAR EEATURE OF AMERI CAN ANSWER TO FRANCE VIR TUALLY SAME1 AS 'BRITISH-GERMAN AGREEMENT. Washington, Oct. 22. The American answer to the invitation from Germany to acquiesce in the purpose of the Brit ish and German agreement will ibe a cordial endorsement of the principles contained in the agreement. Hay to day informed the German charge d'af faires, who presented a copy of iEe agreement to him that his government was in accord with the principles of the agreement; that the action of Ger many and England was -pleasing to the United States, and that a formal an swer would he handed the charge d'af faires dn a few days. Washington, Oct. 22. The state de partment made public today the corre sipondence which has taken place be tween itself and the French govern ment since the original French note respecting China which laid down the terms suggested by Aance as a basis of negotiation for a settlement. This last correspondence consists of two notes exchanged between Secretary Hay and 'M. Thiebaut last week, put- tine in formal shape certain verbal statesments of importance respecting the negotiation. '''An interesting1 and imiportant feature of the United States note is the closing suggestion that the powers bind them selves again to preserve Chinese terri torial integrity and to maintain the "open door" exactly the objects aimed at In the British-German agreement or alliance, which was made public last week. While this note by Secretary Hav bear date of October 19, and the British-German agreement bears the date of October 16, the action of this government was taken in ignorance of the agreement and it is entirely possi ble that it may 'have been the means of bringing about a disclosure of its pur poses. Our suggestion indicates a fa vorable resiponse by the United States government to the invitation to join with Great Britain and Germany in the objects specified. The correspondence 4s as follows: CORRESPONDENCE CHINESE AF FAIRS, OCTOBER 17-19. In further relation to the proposals of the government of the French re public respecting- the basis for the set tlement to be negotiated by the powers and the Chinese government. I. The French charge d'affaires to the secretary of state. (Handed to the secretary of state by the French charge d'affaires, M. Thiebaut, October 17, 1900.) (Translation). Embassy of the French republic to the United States, Washington, October 17, 1900'. "The government of the republic has highly appreciated the response which the government of the United States has made o its note of the 4th of Oc tober; it has been especially gratifying to it to observe the sentiments of sym pathy for France which have evidently inspired that reply. "All the international powers have adhered to the essential (principle of the French note. In so far as concerns the pioints which have called forth comments on the part of certain cabi nets, they could, it would seem, be dis cussed among the powers or between their diplomatic representatives at Pe kin in the course, of negotiations and FOR RENT.

"The essential thing now is to show the Chinese government which has de clared iself ready to negotiate, that the powers are animated by the saine spirit; that they are decided to respect the integrity of China and the" jpendence of its government; . but that ,they are none the less resolved to ob tain the satisfaction to which they (have a right. "In this regard it would seem that if the proposition which has been ac cepted as the basis of negotiations were communicated to the Chinese plenipo tentiaries by the ministers of the pow ers at Pekin, or in their name by their dean, this step would be of a nature to have a happy influence upon the deter mination of the emperor of China and his government. "It goes without saying that this col lective step would in no wise interfere with the examination of the points In the French proposition to which the reservations named by certain govern ments relate. "The ministers' of foreign affairs would be particularly happy to learn that this is also the opinion of the president of the United States and of the honorable secretary of state and that they have thought it opportune to send to the minister of the United States in Pekin instructions in this sense."

V " i EX-SECRETARYSHER3flAN ; DIES 111 WASHINGTON The EadiSaiae feac. fully Early Yes terday Morning Arrangements for the Fmneral. Washington, Oct. 22. Hon. John Sherman, who, for a pertod of Lorty years, occupied a prominent place in legislative and administrative United States affairs, died here at 6:46 this morning of brain exhaustion, aged 78. Death came to the aged sufferer peacefully after almost thirty-six hours of nearly complete unconsciousness. A number of relatives 'and friends who had assembled at Washington in responses to summons were at the bed side when the end came. The most de voted of them was iMrs. McCallum, the adopted daughter of Secretary and Mrs. Sherman. The funeral will be held at the Sher man residence early Wednesday after noon, Rev. Alexander McKay-Smith, rector of St. John's, officiating. The interment will at Mansfield, Ohio, the secretary's old home. Services will be held there on Thursday and the presi dent will attend .v It is known that Mr. Sherman left a wi hut no In formation as to its contents or even when it will be probated will be ob tainable until after the funeral. Funeral services over the remains will be held in this case and the enter ment will be at Mansfield, Ohio, the secretary's old home. The secretary was a large holder in real estate in this city, having invest ed extensively from' time to time. Con servative estimates of his wealth place it at $1,000,000. Other investments con sist of securities, and it is stated that the old family home in Mansfield re mained in his posession, notwithstand ing reports that he had disposed of it prior to his return to Washington last month. Among' Mr. Sherman's former asso ciates in the senate, his demise will be sincerely felt, without reference to party. In this field of activity his ser vice had been particularly able and succesif ul . He had served so long that experience was added to his natural 'talents. He was recognized as ia mas- fter of all public questions, past and present, and he had at his finger's ends all the facts, figures and precedent to give a complete elucidation to the sub ject. Ho was regarded as a iguide rather than a party leader, for his con servatism, caution, innate good judg ment and .power of effective execution inspired confidence in any line of action which he devised. This was particularly true in the lat ter years, when he held the leading place in the senate on questions of finance and foreign affairs. Amid the most heated arguments and the widest differences the entrance of the venera ble Ohio senator into the debate was the signal for a period of calm and dis passionate consideration of the serious arguments of the case. His appear ance in debate was often like the sud den entrance of a schoolmaster into a room full of unruly pupils. Sherman was not regarded as a great orator. His forte was more in the cool analysis of a proposition appealing to the judgment rather than to the emo tions and carrying conviction. He presented the simple facts without any attempt at ornate diction. t As a de bater he had few equals. Of late years he seldom entered into daily discussions on the lesser topics, but reserved his efforts for the greater questions. Senator Sherman was a brother of General William: Tecum seh. Sherman, the eminent American general, who succeeded Grant as commander in chief of the army in 1869. The president this afternodm issued the following proclamation: Death of the Honorable JJlwr Sher mtan. By 'the president of the United States of America. A prc-clamQjtfioni .

CONVERTED BY BRYAN TO M'KINLEYISM Ex-Postmaster General Dickinson's Attitude Will Vote Against Bryanism. Washington, Oct. 22. Ex-Postmaster General Don Dickinson, inj a letter to a friend, says that since the adop tion of the Kansas City platform and Bryan's nomination he never entertain ed a thought of voting for him. He hoped to remain away from the polls, but Bryan's recent speeches convinced him he must vote at the coming elec tion. He declares that Bryan is preaching the gospel of hate and his "postulates are boxer and his propa ganda boxer." With regard to imperialism he says the .theory of our government cannot be changed in form or substance unless congress and the supremfe court are parties with the executive in a trea sonable conspiracy. The Philippine question, he declares, is a problem to be solved by congress. "But," he says, "in no place on earth must our flag be hauled down under fire." With regard to the finance ques tion he says it may be admitted that the man who proposes bo have the na tion make a dollar out of fifty cents of silver is sincere, but so is the anarchist when he adopts assassination as the proper political method. He says that while the republicans have many evils when the "house is ion fire we must help, our fellow occupants to put it out." He concludes by declaring, that he conceives it his solemn duty to vote against Bryanism. WHEELER AND HOBSON. Atlanta, Oct.. 22.

MU STRIKE SAID TO BE OVER Ten Per Cent. Advance With Reduction in Powder Figured in. On These Terms Mitchell De cides to Call Strike Off. President Nichols' Statement at the Conference Last Night. Closing Down of the Grassy Island Coal washery. RIOTING AT WASHERY IN WHICH SEVERAL, NON-UNION MINERS ARB SERIOUSLY INJURED PO LICE RESCUE THEM. Scranton, Oct. 22. It is learned from an authoritative source tonisrht that the strike is over. Word has been re ceived here that Mitchell has decided to call the strike off provided all the operators agree to post notices of the 10 per cent advance with reduction in the price of powder to be figured in. There was a conference of local opera tors and strike leaders tonight at which President Nichols of the district union, asserted that all the operators nere were ahout to post notices in the morn ing with the. exception of the Pennsyl vania company Wilkesbarre, Oct. 22. A riot occur red at the Empire washery tonight, where a dozen men were working a culm bank. They were attacked by strikers as they left work, and despite all the police could do to protect them three of them were so badly beaten that they had to be removed to a hos pital and the others were more or less injured. Several policemen were in jured and a number of strikers hurt. The police and strikers fired a number of shots in the air. The (police finally formed a ring about the men and suc ceeded in escorting them out of the crowd. The police tried to make ar rests but the strikers repelled them and rescued the prisoners. The strik ers, who are in large numbers, are still in possession of the field. Mitchell, in an Interview at Hazleton tonight, declared that the prospects of an early settlement were brighter tban ever. He believed that the dispute in regard to the powder reduction would be overcome. CLOSING DOWN THE WASHERY. Scranton, Pa., Oct. 22. The flrstf hostile demonstration of the miners' strike in the Lackawanna region was made today at Oliphant, near here, where it was determined to close down the Grassy Island coal washery, oper ated by" the Delaware and Hudson com pany. The place had been working a force of thirty men during the past two weeks, and was daily turning out a thousand tons of the smaller sized of fuel for the market.. Today several hundred strikers gathered along the road near the iwashery and when the workmen appeared gave them to un derstand they must desist from work ing until the strike was settled. The workmen decided that they would re turn home. The strikers marched with them back to Oliphant, shouting. This was the first move towards shut ting down the washeries in the valley, and if other men at work there do not dome out it is likely there will be a demonstration of the same nature.
