There is exery pros- poet that before the allies take up the V otiatU, in v'hina the armed forces of the powers will be called upon to snj)press another series of disorders. Conditions in South ern China are most threatening' and an outbreak is imminent. A news agency dispatch from Hong Kong says that the southern part of the empire is in a state of great excitement. The Boxer spirit seems to have been . nvne' revived by the apparent procrastination of the powers, and high officials here would not be surprised to receive tidings of further outrages against foreigners at any time. A rebellion is threatened in Kwaisin. In this locality the Chinese regular troops have found themselves unable to maintain order, and the revolutionary el ement, encouraged by the weakness of the imperial forces, is likely to take the rield at any moment.

Shennandoah. Pa.. Oct. 5 The situa- tion throughout the coal region is less I favorable today than it has ben for some J time. A settlement seems more remote, and hunger is beginning to appear in many homes. With hunger violence theratens, and many fear that serious i lashes may soon occur. The "offers of the companies to grant a 10 per cent. wage increase have been practically ignored by the men, and in stead of numbers going back to work, the ranks of the disaffected have been augmented by miners who have laid down theiruuining tool. Several mqre collieries are closed this morning, and the tie-up is nearly complete throughout the re-gym. In the opinion of a lai'ge number peace is no nearer, and a long strike is predicted. ,. Fight Italians, employed oh the night shift of the Calvin, Pardee & Oo.'s col liery at Lattimore, were attacked in the public road leading from that place to Hollywood early this morning . by 23 women, who had marched from Milhes ville. The first non-striking mine work ers to leave the colliery were tbe little band of eight Italians. They sdw the women in? the road ahead of them, and, suspecting; an attack, crossed the field in an endeavor to avoid them. The women,- howjever, were on the alert, and they also tcrossed the field, and . over taking thf men; hurled showers pf stones nt them, l'lie workmen did not attempt to defendjthemselves. but ran away and were sooq,' out of reach of the fury of the excited women. One man received n severe tut on the head, while .several of the others were struck by pieces of rock, but were not injured. The women ret tuned no their homes, satisfied with their demonstration. There- Was to have been a march of men and, women from McAdoo and Jeanesvijjo to Lattimore-early this morn ing, buttfor some reason it was called off at mjjdnight. It may be made to morrowjuherning. Some of the foreign ers . areTirinning to - show an ugly dis position. They are seen in greater num bers in the highways, and as some of them carry clubs, a collision between them and the coal and iron police majr occur at almost any time. Early this morning the Philadelphia and Blading. Coal and Iron Co. recon sidered its determination to close down the North Franklin colliery at Trevorton. until after the strike was settled. Fore man William F. Luckenbill was notified to inform the men that the colliery would be run as usual today. At 5 o'clock the whistle was blown, but not over a dozen miners appeared in the streets in their working clothes. They had not gone far on the way to the breaker before they were stopped by men who had worKed yesterday. After a little persuasion all the miners return ed home, staying they would not go into the mines until the trouble was ended. Fdward Coyle, a miner , aged 50 years, one of the victims of the riot here two weeks ago, died today. While the riot was in progress Mr. Coyle left his home t: look after the safety of his children, when a stray bullet struck him below the heart. A widow and large family survive him.

BURGHERS REMEMBER Berlin Council Will Not Congratulate the Empress on Her Birthday Berlin, Oct. 5. The municipal council, at a secret sitting, has decided not to send the customary letter of congratula tion to the Empress on the occasion of her forty-second birthday, October 'Jh. 1 This action of the burghers is due to Jthe policy pursued by the Empress last year,-when instead of returning thanks to the burghers for the congratnlations of the council, she sent a letter express ing dissatisfaction over the council s tin willingness to vote funds for a church she was? building. This? attempt of the Empress' to interfere in municipal poli tics gave great offence at the time, and the action of the burghers shows that it has no tyet been forgiven. TITTERED AT A FUNERAL James Was Reminded of a Circus Els pliant at the Wrong Time. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 5. -A fine of five dollars in the police court and the break ing of his engagement with Kate Schind ler are the double, punishments inflicted upon James Hawes for laughing at the funeral of the woman who was to have been his mother-in-law." Hawes was ar rested while the funeral was going on. In the police court he said in his de fence; "Your honor, the -old lady and me did not get along well. Some friend had sent a floral offering in letters reading, 'Gates Ajar.' The piece was placed on the altar upside down, and suddenly I read the lettering, 'Raja,' and I imme diately thought of the circus elephant by that name, and I. tittered. The young woman to whom I was engaged looked angry, and I tittered some more. Then they had me arrested and charged with disturbing the peace." The justice read him a lecture and fined him five dollars, which he paid. v Railroad Taxation in Michigan Detroit, Mich., Oct. 5.

THE STATE OF TRADE The General Situation Is Con r sidered Favorable. OUTLOOK IS PROMISING most Farorable Reports Corns front the South. Where Ten Cent Cotton In plres Unusual ActiTlty Weakness i, - Is Noted In Sugar and Strength In HS Products Some Lines of Bus! ness Waiting; on the Clectlen. New York, Oct. 5. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: Despite some irregularity, both as to . demand and prices, due partly to warm, rainy weather, but, likewise to reflection of a hesitancy to embark largely in new business, "general trade is favorable and confidence as to the outlook for businesi the balance of the year is notable. Soma diminution in the volume of jobbing bus iness is noted at large western centres, and continued rainy weather in tha northwest alike checks the movement of wheat to market, injures the grade of the same and discourages retail and job bing distribution. ' Ten cent cotton is the key to very favorable reports which come from the South, and the character of reports from this section is more nearly favora ble than for many years past at this time. v The indisposition to contract heavy as to the future is perhaps most marked in the iron and steel trade, and' here also' the most marked tendency towards weakness in the crude forms of produc tion is noted.- . - The industrial outlook has been im proved by the, signing of the tin plate scale, but the anthracite coal situation is," on the surface at least, rather more unafovrable than ; a week ago, mora mines and miners being idle and the iproduct steadily diminishing. Special weakness is noted in the sugar trade, owing to the-practical break of the raw sugar corner, as much as to the passing of the canning season and the reported intension of refiners to re open .the war in prices. Special, strength is noted, in provisions and hog products, in .-.which, the very strong sta tistical position ds receiving more at tention. The strength of the railroad situation is reflected in earnings fully equal to last year and in some instanca larger, and the announcement that rates are to be advanced November 1st.

'Dun's review to morrow will say: The anthracite strike settlement has been delayed another week and the ef fect upon business in the east is more apparent, though distribution in the West and South seems no less active. Seasonable weather, in the east would quickly aid matters. Prices are slightly lower in wool, coal and sugar, but thb produce and textile markets are firm, and in all departments of business an effort by distributors to increase trans actions would quickly advance prices. Bank clearings for the week at New York show only 8.2 per cent, decrease from 1899, on account of the Dewey holiday last year, and 8.9 per cent, gain over 1898. At the leading cities outside New York there is 7.u per cent, decrease from 1899 and 15.9 per cent, gain over 1898. ' The most interesting financial devel opment was the further drop of L cent in the: pound "n sterling exchange,"4com pleting a decline of 2 cents in two weeks, without any important change in our money market. At the same time Lon-" don rates for discounts have strength ened materially, though the Bank of England made no change in its rate, in which an advance 'had been '-expected. Cotton shipments are producing about double the exchange they did a year ago, and as the crop is being moved with funds shinned from New York and with out gold imports from Europe, the net result is that New York is loaning for eigners about half the value of the crop. Most manufacturing concerns are de laying extensive production until after election and are buying little; raw ma terial. Pig iron has declined on small orders and was also depressed by the cut in Southern freight rates. Finished material and structural lines are steady, and export buying does much to prevent dullness. ' Sales of wool at three chief eastern markets 3,417,205 pounds, erceedinp every week since August, but still insig- ' nificant compared with last year, and Coates Brothers' average price of 100 grades October 1st was 19.64 v cents, against 20.37 September Itf. Wheat is steady. For the week At lantic exports were 3,252,9i bushels, flour included, against 3,562,0G2 in 1899. Lower stocks at Chicago caused a sharp rise in prices of pork products.- Cotton prices are maintained near the top. Mills are not active, as the present price- of raw material is out of proportion to quo tations ruling in the goods market.. , - , . .
