Refusal.
Special lo Journal.
Pa kim, September 23. - Disp.ilch re
ceived from ISerlin ssys it la believed in
the German Capital, Hint there is a se
vere tension lietwccn the United States
and (icrmany, over the settlement of the
Chinese trouble, mid Germany's pro
posal which Ihe United States rejected.
Washington, September 31. The
Unlled Stairs Government lias made fu'l
and complete answers to the various in
quiries that have been addressed to It by
the Powers relative to the Chinese trou
ble. It has gone further and liss made n
disclosure of all Its purposes, and, as
a member (IT the Administrations put
it, "it has thrown Us band open on the
table."
Minister Wu callod, by appointment,
upon Acting Secretary Hill, and wac
handed a memorandum embodying, tin
response of the Government to tho re
quest of China that Mr. Conger, or some
oth'-r person, he immediately empowered
to Im l'iii negotiations with the Chinese
for a llnal settlement. Minister Wu lefl
with a dissatisfied expression on his fact
Next enme Mr. Thlbault, tjjc French
lepresentatlve, anil after Huron Stern
berg called and was niaibi acquainted
with the note, lie hasii mil away in cable
it to his Government
The Government Ihui sent the cable
grams directed to lis repri siulallvct
abroad .
The Stato Department absolutely re
fused lo make any statement as to the
answers, taking the ground that lo do f 0
would be a violation of diplomatic pro
prieties. However, It was calculated
that ill of these answers will have
reached their destinations abroad tomor
row. Tte ministers and charges who
received the messages hero adoptod the
same secretive attitude as the Govern
ment.
It Is known, however, that the Ger
man proposal thst negotiations with
Chinese he deferred until those res pons!
ble for the Chinese outrages hive been
surrendered to the allies, has failed of
approral by our Government. The dec
llnatlon has been couched in a manner
that cannot give offense, but the United
8tatei Government canuot recognlr.o the
principal that a country may be called
uoon to surrender Its own citizens to
a foreign power or powers for punlih

SUSPECT GtRMANY.
Russia and Li Hung Chan? Have Under
standing Regarding Situation.
London, Seplcinhcr 21 It seems lo lie
generally bclicwi! i hroup li.nn F.urope
that Germany pio iicd li,r demand
that the noli l"teiL'ii b a lers should
be
surrendered before negotiations
were commence)
vviih a view of
delaying any general acceptance of bcr '
proposals until Field-Marshal von Wal
lcrsee should arrive al Pekiu.
At any event, wilii Count Waldersce
journeying northward and Li Hung
Chang conducting negotiations from
Tien Tsln, matters must soon reach a
crisis. The matter of Earl Li's reception
seems to confirm the suspicions exisiting
in Shanghai regarding his close under
standing with Russia.
A long conference was held, at which
uo representative of any other rower
was present. This remarkable friendship
exists at a lime when two conllnents'are
ringing with the story of massacres by
the Russians in Amur.
The Moscow correspondents of the
Standard, reverting to the subject of the
massacres, this morning says:
From a recent visitor to the Amur
region I learn I hat massacres are the or
der of the day with the troops that are
overrunning Manchuria. The orders are
are issued by General Grodekoff, but it It
quite cerlain that Emperor Nicholas
must lie Ignorant of their nature."

Several iniuciV inecungs have been

If you refrain from violence."
The leaders of the strikers will put
their power to a test to-morrow morning,
when Btrikers will picket every road

from working. The instuclions are to
avoid violence and unruly deinoiista
tions. The mining operators will attempt to
open several collieries that have been
closed by the strikers, relying upon the
presence of troops lo prevent furth' r
trouble. Superintendent Boyd, ,of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company's properties here, makes the
positive announcement that bo will
start work in the morning, even if but
one man applies to him. He says the
miners who wish to work and will work
will receive ample protection.
