A MOTHER'S REVERIE.
GEORGE BIRDSEYE.
My baby boy upon the pillow lies,
Wonder forever old, forever new ;
And as I gaze, he opens wide his eyes,
Like violets kissed by dew..
They seek my face with love and rap
ture filled;
That look of tenderness how well I
know
The same his father wore, whose life
death stilled
Only a year ago.
Ahl will his boy be like him when he
grows
To be a man, afar from home's
caress ?
Will he be nobler, braver when he
knows
His father's worthiness ?
His work is not begun; may he decide
On one true Guide to lead him
through life's days;
Oh, may he stand the test when souls
are tried,
And follow virtue's ways.
And yet I dread the hour when man
hood calls;
He will not be as now my little child
So guarded by his dear home's hal
low walls
Where love and mother smiled.
But now, while he is mine and only
mine,
I'll fold him closely in warm arms of
love, . ,
And feel the joy the world, ere I re
sign. Can never rob me of.

THE QUESTION OF INDEMNITY
The Future of China May Be Decided In
Some European Capital-France and
Germany Acting la Harmony.
Americans Defeat Boxers. '
Copyrighted 1900 by tha Associated Press. J
Pekin, Sept. 7, via Taku, Sept.. 13,
and Shanghai, Sept 15. At a met-
"ingofthe foreign ministers here, it
has been decided that they had no
power. at present to treat with Prince
ChiDg. The generals of the powers
also think they cannot treat with the
prince. The Russian legation, it is an:
derstood, has been ordered to be with
drawn and this is believed to indicate
that the future of China must be de
cided by an international commission
in some foreign capital.
Sir Robert Hart, the director of the
Chinese imperial maritime customs,
has informed the foreign generals that
they must be prepared forvfuture hos
tilities, that the Chinese troops are con
centrating and moving on the line of
communication between Pekia and
Tien Tsin and that he thought trouble
might be looked for by November.
General Chaffee believes Pekin has
sufficient troops to hold out against
any attack.
. Emperor Anxious to Return.
Prince Ching informed , Mr. Conger
that the Emperor is anxious to return
to Pekin and make all proper repara
tions. The Prince says the Emperor
and the entire court are in small vil
lage !sixty miles away. He will not
endeavor to negotiate until the arrival
of Li Hung Chang, who is expected
here shortly.
Lieutenant Benjamin B. Hyer, com
manding sixty men of the Sixth cav
alry, was recently attacked near here
by fiye hundred Boxers. He put
them to rout, his force killing twenty
jive of them and capturing some rifles
and treasure. There were no Ameri
can casualties.
Paris, Sept. 15. The unsatisfactory
condition of the cipher messages which
reached the powers from their repre
sentatives in China, especially at
Pekin, has brought forward promin
ently the suggestion of an internation
al conference at some European cap
ital a.-point which gives additional
weight to the plan is appreciation of
the diBcuitypf reaching amicable re
sult?. Among the ministers at Pekin,
many of whom have been antagonistic
in their policies during the last few
years. Could they obtain direct and
quick communication with the home
governments tangles would be straight
ened out. but under the present condi
tions this seems to be impossible. An
argument advanced against the
proposed conference is the difficulty of
the powers being represented by men
fully conversant with all the latest
phases of the Far Eastern question.
tiSome of the details which will be
urged in connection with the peace
terms are discussed in diplomatic
circles here. One point strongly urged
on the part of France is the permanent
continuance of the international agree
ment now in force, prohibiting the
Exportation of Arms
in ChinaThis is belived to be a strong
measure of precaution against a re
occurrence of the determined assault
on foreigners. A demand is also made
for a reduction of the Chinese forces
holding Taku and Woo Sung, which
are the main coast defences respect
ively of Pekin and Shanghai, in order
to keep open a more secure route to
the cities.
.. A Serious Problem.
The question of indemnity and how
it will be paid is a serious problem.
The indemnities are divided into three
classes, those payable to the States, to
the societies and to individuals. The
amount which the various States will
demand "will reach an enormous sum,'
and the ability of China to meet them
solely with cash payments causes con
cern. Great Britain's indemnity, it is
believed here, will not be less than
60,000,000 francs, while Russia's will
not be far. below this. France's in
demnity will be in the neighborhood
of 30,000,000 francs and that of the
United 8tates.it is thought, will not
be so large on account of most of the
American troops going from the
Philippine islands. In order to meet
these claims, it is possible that some
reforms in the internal administration
in China may be necessary though
their nature is not considered yet. It
is said that Russia has not heard from
M. De Giers, her minister at Pekin,
for some days and the messages of M.
Pichon, the French minister at the
Chinese capital, are also delayedrthus
not permitting the government to gain
any new knowledge in regard to the
evacuation terms which are left to
these officials. It is asserted here th at
France and Russia are acting in per
fect harmony and that they will cer
tainly remain in accord in their nego
tiations for peace.
Pekin, September 8, via Shanghai,
September 15. It is announced that
owing to the impossibility of getting
the railroad through before winter sets
in, all the Russian forces will be with
drawn and will make Tien Tsin their
headquarters. This is causing specu
lation as to Russia's policy.
The occupation of Pekin during the
winter is practically impossible for a
large body of troops unless railroad
connection can be established. Some
favor leveling Pekin with the ground
before retiring from Tien Tsin.
MRS. MAYBRICK'S CASE.
The Late Chief Justice Prepared a State
ment Urging Her Release.
By Cable to the Moraine star.
London, September 15. Dr. Clark
Bell, who bailed for New York, from
Rotterdam, on the Spaardam, Septem
ber 13th, said to a representative of the
Associated Press before sailing:
"I am by no means dissatisfied with
the results of my visit in behalf of
Mrs. Maybrick, though the Home Sec
retary has not yet taken action. The
publication of Lord Russell's letter
caused a profound impression. Fur
thermore, I have since learned on high
authority that Lord Russell kept his
promise to Mrs. Maybrick, and in the
capacity, of Lord Chief Justice, pre
pared a long statement strongly urging
her release, and concluding aa follows:
'It is my opinion, as head of the judi
ciary of England, that Mrs. Maybrick
ought to be immediately released.'
"This letter was shown to Lord
Hugh Cecil, fifth son of the Marquis of
Salisbury and at one time private sec
retary to his father as Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, and others,
before its presentation to the Home
Secretary (Sir Matthew White Ridley)
and, in the opinion of the best in
formed barristers in England, the rep
resentations constituted an official act
of the Chief Justice, and the Home Sec
retary ought to so regard them."

MANY COLLIERIES
WERE SHUT DOWN.
Thousands of Miners Anticipated Strike
Order Operators Preparing to Pro
tect Plants by Barbed Wire.
By Telegraph to the Morning star
Philadelphia, September 15. The
much talked-of strike of the anthra
cite coal mine workers in the coal re
gions of Pennsylvania, under the
auspices of the United Mine Workers
of America, and which affects about
145,000 union and non-union workers,
was - practically inauguerated to-day,
and reports received from the various
sections indicate that on Monday
morning, when the strike officially be
gins, according to- the strike order
issued by President Mitchell, of the
Mine Workers' Union, a very few of
the collieries will be in operation. The
operators, however, are confident that
tbo-proportion of striking miners has
been greatly exaggerated.
The situation to-night is practically
one of strike. At points where the
most important coal workings are,
presage a struggle between the opera
tors and their men that many fear may
lead to disturbance and perhaps worse.
To-night, however, all is quiet.
Miners' meetings were held at a num
ber of points and the speakers coun
selled quiet, orderly conduct on tbe
part of the men. That some of the
operators are preparing for the worst
is indicated by their fencing in and
stringing barbed wire about their
breakers. ,
New York, September 15. There
was an executive meeting in Brooklyn
to-night of wholesale and retail coal
dealers of Greater New York. The
dealers agreed to raise the price of an
thracite coal to consumers, beginning
Monday, from $5,25 to $5.50 per ton
delivered on the sidewalk, or $5.75 per
ton delivered in the bin.
Schantow, Pa., September 15.
Nearly all of the collieries of the
Lackawana region that were not closed
down yesterday began operations this
morning but before noon arrived they
were one by one forced to suspend,
until only a few of them were doing
anything at all and these few were so
badly crippled by shortage of hands
that under ordinary circumstances the
operators would have given up the at
tempt to work! them.
The officers! of the United Mine
Workers claim that no one except the
exempted engineers, firemen, barn
bosses and pump runners will respond
to the whistles Monday morning. The
operators, One all. say they do
not know what the men will do but
are firmly convinced that a majority
of their employes are opposed to strik
ing, and that the general shutting of
the collieries is due to the fact that the
reckless breaker and driver boys
turned put and prevented the anti
strike miners from working. Believ
ing this, the operators will open as
usual on Monday and give work of
some kind to any men who put
in an appearance. The Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Com
pany is determined to at least keep
some of its nineteen collieries going.
The bosses went among the men to
day offering full protection and special
favors to all of its men of known anti
strike proclivities if they would re
pert Monday morning. If there are
not enough men on hand to start up
all the collieries those who do re
spond will be congregated in a few
collieries and put to work. How many

namely, the impossibility of granting
any increases in wages and the deter

General Superintendent Loomis, of

head of the Superintendents organiza

"The position of the companies is
thoroughly defined and there
will be no deviation. We have
conferred and while we think the
men have been ill-advised we are de
cided that none of their demands shall
be met. A line of action has been de
termined on. This will begin on Mon
day morning with the blowing of the
breaker gongs, calling the men to
work. Those who respond will be
given places and protected in- their
work. If necessary these men will
be placed in one of the central
mines so as to be employed to

ter assured. A supply of stock coal is
now in sight and can meet the imme

weeks. After that there must come a
coal famine, or the in-rush of bitumi

Austin, Texas, September 15.
Governor Sayers last night received
the following official report from
Mayor Jones, of Galveston, as to co
ditions there:
Galveston, Texas, September 14.
Hon. Joseph D. Sayers, Governor
After the fullest possible investigation
here we feel justified in saying to you
and through you to the American peo
ple that no similar disaster has over
taken any community or section in
the history of our country. The loss
of life is appalling and never can be
accurately determined. It is estimated
at 5,000 to 8,000 people. There is not
a home in Galveston that has not been
injured, while thousands have been
destroyed.
The property loss represents accu
mulations of sixty years and more
millions than can be safely stated.
Under these conditions, with 10,000
people homeless and destitute, with
the entire population under a stress
and strain difficult to realize, we ap
peal directly in the hour of our great
emergency to the sympathy and aid of
mankind.. "

Galveston, Texas, Sept. 15. The
exodus from Galveston grows in num
bers as the facilities for getting away
from the stricken city are increased.
Boats left here to day more frequently
than on any day since the storm, some
proceeding direct to Houston via Buf
falo Bayou, and others making con
nection at Texas City with the Great
Northern railroad train. Among those
who departed to-day were General
McKibben and Lieutenants Ferguson
and Perry, who were sent hither by
the United States Government when
the news of the horror was given to
the world. General McKibben will
communicate with the War Depart

thence proceed to San Antonio to trans
act official business which is requiring
his attention. Before leaving he was
solicited by the authorities to return,
and expects to do so within the next
four or five days. f

this morning in the shape of a per

the movement for the speedy recon
struction of the city.
Mr. Huntington's telegram was to
A. H. Belo, of the Galveston and Dal

from the overflow just experienced.
He shows that in 1867, in the midst of
the widespread epidemic of yellow
fever, a severe storm occurred at Gal
veston in the early days of October,
resulting in a deposit over a greater
portion of the city of slimy mud. Not
only did no sickness result, but the
cyclonic disturbance cut short the yel
low fever epidemic and but few cases
of fever have occurred thereafter. In
1875 and 1886, whe - there were severe
storms and no overflow, no increase
in sickness occurred.

"That reminds me indirectly," said
the other, drummer, "of a yarn I heard
lately, over In Sooth Carolina told at
the' expense of a peculiarly guileless
old chat who keens a little crossroads
store up in the mountains. Everybody,
wears-boots In that part of the country,
and, as the story goes, the old fellow,
had been buying his stock for many,
years of a manufacturer in a big city,
not 1,000 miles away. He paid $6 a
pair for his boots when he first went
into business, and the maker had con
tinued charging him the same figure
year after year regardless of theifact
that the market price had been steadily;
going down. The old storekeeper,, se
cluded from the world'ln his mountain
home, never dreamed that he was be
ing, fleeced and took pride In paying his
bills swith clocklike punctuality.
"At last, when that grade-of boots
was quoted at $2.50, the manufactur
er's conscience smote him, and he de
cided to make amends. So hewrote
the country merchant, saying that
there had been a considerable decrease
In the price of leather, and he was glad
testate that he would be able to let
him have the last lot of boots he order
ed at $4 a pair. This, he added, was a
special low rate, made on account of
personal esteem and the fact that he
had been a regular customer for such a
long period. A few days afterward the
conscientious manufacturer was amaz
ed to receive a letter running some
thinglike this:
"Dear Sir It's mighty kind of you aU to offer ta
let me have them boots at $4, but I Irish you
would please keep the price tbe same as what it
was before. I have been selling them boots for $10

THE PALACE WAITED.
A. Bailder'si Suggestion That Ci an se
ed the Plana ot a Pope,
At a time when there was great suf
fering among the people from lack of
food and when famine in its worst
form was threatened Pope Alexander
VI had made arrangements for the
erection of a magnificent palace. The
best architects had been employed, and
the plans had been submitted and ac
cepted, and an accomplished builder
had been sent for to come from Venice,
a man whose work had won for him re
nown and who was known to be a just
and upright man.
The builder had arrived, anTat an
appointed time he waited upon his ho
liness to receive the plans and make his
estimates. "There is one thing yet to
be done," said the pope. "There has
been no proper inscription or legend
thought of to be placed lover the main
entrance of the palace. It should be
put 'above the great gate. You have
had experience. Do you think of an
Inscription that would be appropriate?
"If your holiness would pardon me
for the liberty, I might suggest one
