Signs of a Desire on the Part
of Some of the Strikers to
Return to Work.
MILITARY AT SHENANDOAH.
Strikers Sullen and Mattered Threats,
Bat Made No Attempt at Violence.
A Secret Meetlng-The English
Miners Favor Returning.
By Telegraph to the Moraine Star.
Philadelphia, September 22. At
the end of the first, week of the strike
in the anthracite coal fields of Penn
sylvania there are not wanting signs
of a desire on the part of some of the
strikers to return to their work. This
sentiment is generally confined, so far
as reported, to the English-speaking
element among the mine workers. Ex
perience has shown that these men are
the most conservative, the foreigners
being impulsive and hot tempered in
strike times.
Notwithstanding the outbreak neces
sitating the sending , of troops to
Schuylkill county, everything is quiet
in the coal regsons to night. There is
a feeling that efforts will be made in
all districts to Start up mines that are
idle. The persistence of corporations
and individual mine owners in assert
ing that they will consider grievances
of their employes individually, but
will never, under any circumstances,
treat with the united mine workers,
has undoubtedly had its effect, and it
would not be surprising if many mines
that have been tied up since the strike
began will resume operations, at least
partially, by the beginning of the next
week. ;
Situation in Shenandoah.
Shenandoah, Pa., September 22.
With the arrival of the militia here
to-day this borough assumed its nor
mal condition and the anticipated re
sumption of viDlence on the part of
the miners did not occur. It might
have been the presence of the soldiers
that restrained the turbulent element,
but many of the residents believe the
lack of riotous scenes was due to the
fact that all the collieries here were
closed.
Fearing that an attempt to work the
mines here to-day would result in pos
sible .bloodshed, Sheriff Toole last
night requested the mine "owners to
suspend operations until after the
troops had arrived. The only colliery
which attempted to work to day was
the William Penn, operated by the
Susquehanna Coal Company. The
employes were, however, intercepted
on their way to the mine by strikers,
who succeeded in persuading them to
return to their homes.
Troops Arrive.
. The first detachment of troop3 ar
rived here shortly before 8 o'clock this
morning. It consisted of the Schuyl -kill
county companies of the Fourth
and Eighth regiments.
Gen. Qobin established headquar
ters in the Hotel Ferguson until he can
find a suitable place in the field. The
arrival of the troops occasioned much
excitement among the residents, and
especially the strikers, who thronged
the vicinity of the railroad station
from early in the morning until late in
the day. They were sullen and ven ted
muttered threats, but made no attempt
at violence. ,
Aside from the incursion of the mi
litia the most important occurrence to
day was a meeting of the English
speaking mine workers of this vicini
ty. Among the speakers were Organ
izers J. F. Purcell and George Harris,
of the United Workers, and Paul Pau
leski, a Lithanian labor leader of this
place.
Miners Hold Secret Meeting.
The meeting, which was secret, is
said to have been dominated by tb,e
foreign employes. The English-speaking
men favored returning to work on
Monday, but the foreigners voted them
down and adopted a resolution to re
main on strike. The English-speaking
employes declare that they will go to
the mines on Monday and serious con
sequences may result.
This was pay day at the William
Penn colliery and a number of armed
deputies were brought from Mahanoy
City and placed on guard around the
slope. The mine workers were orderly,
however, and no trouble occurred. Dr.
Hamilton to day made a post mortem
examination of the body of John Scho
nitski, the Pole, who was shot and
killed during last night's riots. Scho
nitskihad but recently arrived here
and leaves a widow and several chil
dren in Poland.- The inquest will be
held on Tuesday by Coroner Cardin.
The saloons, which had been closed
by Burgess David Brown after yester
day's riot, opened this afternoon, and
as a result several miners were arrested
on the charge of disorderly conduct
Children as Mine Workers.
Schanton, Pa., Sept. 22. A parade
of 2,000 slate pickers, runners, drivers,
door tenders and helpers, from the
mines of Scranton and vicinity, was
the feature of to-day. The parade was
planned by Organizer Dilcher, to show
how many children who ought to be
in school were forced in the mines by
reason of their father's being paid such
poor wages. It was a sight that would
move the- hardest f heart. Fully a
third of the boys in line appeared to
about nine or ten years of age, and in
quiry among;them elicited the startl
ing fact that not a few eight year-old
children were numbered in the pa
raders. Effort to Start Collieries;

Beading. Coal and Iron Company, and
Superintendent R. A. Quinn, of the
William Penn colliery, operated by
the Susquehanna Coal Company, held
a conference with Gen. Gobin to-night
relative to the protection of men who
are desirous of working.
The superintendents informed Gen.
Gobin that many of their employes
want to continue at work, but are
fearful of mob violence. The general
assured the superintendents that the
men would be fully protected. This is
taken to mean that an effort will be
made on Monday to start all the col
lieries now closed. Sheriff Toole and
his deputies left for their homes to
night, the presence of the militia ren
dering their services here no longer
necessary.
IMPORTANT TASK FOR
COUNT VON WALDERSEE.
Mast Force China to Submit to Powers'
Peace Conditions and Also Qer-
many's Special Demands.
Special Berlin Letter, Copyrighted 1900 by the
. Associated Press. 1
Berlin, Sept 22. The Austrian
ambassador here, in an interview to
day with a representative of the Asso
ciated Press said:
"There is an erroneous opinion in
the press about Count Von Walder
see's mission. A number of important
tasks await him. Above all he must
force China to submit to the allied
Powers' peace conditions. Moral per
suasion is entirely wasted upon the
Chinese government, which far from
being humiliated hitherto, still in
dulges in the hope of cheating the
allies out of the fruits of their victories
by destroying the harmony among
them. Von Waldersee must arrange
what military demonstrations are re
quired, what harbors and inland towns
must be occupied, which points re
quire expeditions, and' which troops
may retire from Pekin. All the powers
are bound to this programme by
agreeing upon Von Waldersee as commander-in-chief
; but each may reduce
or increase its contingent at will.
No Diplomatic Powers.
"Regarding the statement that Von
Waldersee will act as chief diplomatic
representative for the Powers, that if
it were intended, has been abandoned.
It is possible the Powers may jointly
appoint one plenipotentiary for the
settlement of their joint demands, viz,
the safeguarding of the foreign colonies
and missions, to enable foreign mer
chants to safely resume business every
where in China, and also to rearrange
the status of the diplomatic corps.
Possibly, the Chinese government,
hereafter, will be located more inland.
Then the foreign diplomats will either
be located at a treaty port, perhaps
Ti6n Tsin, or else they will need large
military protection.
No Territorial Acquisitions.
"Allot this Von Waldersee must
enforce, and also Germany's own
special demands. How each of the
powers' separate demands will be regu
lated and enforced is a different mat
ter. All the powers mean to adhere
to the motto: 'No further territorial
acquisitions;' but it will probably be
come necessary for each power to oc
cupy some province or important point
of which the taxes will be retained
until each is reimbursed for its war
outlay.
"With all that we must not forget
that the Boxer movement is not yet
dead."
Will Occupy Imperial Palace.
The Loikdl Anzeiger prints a special
dispatch from Shanghai saying Count
Von Waldersee, after his arrival at
Pekin, will occupy the Imperial
palace, remove the flag and hoist his
own flag, "thereby proving to the
Chinese, who now regard the allied
troops as merely tolerated, that. the
allied forces are really masters."
The inspired Post prints an article
which says: "The possibility is here
considered that China will refuse Ger
many's demand to give up the main
culprits. Then, forceful measures must
be employed, and above all, the occu
pation of a number of the most impor
tant points in the country."
The Foreign Office informs the As
sociated Press that France, Austria
and Italy have agreed to the German
-note.
While Great Britain and Japan have
not yet formally accepted Germany's
proposition, the Associated Press
learns from a reliable source that
the re is little doubt that they will ac
