THE FIRST STEPS

America Moving In the lietlcmptioii of Its Pledges .Made to Jtu-isia. WILLCGMEOLT OF PKKIN Cen. CbafTee Instructed to Withdrac All of Forces Save a Legation Guard. England Arrays Herself Alongside America In Rejecting Oer- " many 'a i'roposiil. Washington, Sept. 2G. The Unitel Btatea government has taken the first Mens townrd the redemption of It jlolge made to the liusnlan govern-nif-nt Aug. 28 laxt by cablegram instruction tu (Jen. Chaffee to reduce the American forces la China to th prolortlon of the legation guard. Nearly a month ajro the KushIuii government 14 told through M. lc W'iMil. iit, Its charge here, that If the Uusslnn forces and minlxtry were withdrawn from I'ekiu "we nhall give instructions to the commander of the American forces iu China to withdraw our forces from l'ekia after due conference with the other couimaiidiTH im to th' time and manner of withdrawal." That time h.iH come and the department'! action iiuirkH the iM-gimdng of the diwapiK-ar-anie of the American army from China, for although some military force 1st to remain, it will not lie of the character of an army, but. under the eondltlotiM laid down in the order to Cell. ChalTec, and eKjteclnlly under its ottirlal designation as a "legation guard" will lie rather of the nature of a civil guard. This nmall force will not be included In any military operations which may be conducted by the nlliixl armies, anil so will not fall snliJivt tt the direct ion of Field Marshal Vunt Ie Waldersee, the commander-in-chief. Much thought has 1h-ch given to the roer numlter of troop to lie allotted lor this jurose and it is lM-lieved th:t tluf,4Ki men aehsHed will b )nite tuutit-ieiit to protect the American legation, uKHfust any force that could le brought ajrnlnst It. It is noteworthy, too, that the most complete arrangeiDentK lwivt lus-n ordcrel for the n.nintenance of the men while eare has Ims-i) taken that there shall not bo ft fdiort.igc or Miiiuiiiiiltiiin as there was In the Itritish legation during the alege. ft is estimated "that alKOit a week will be required to bring the a,") soldiers uway front IVkln. but as . WuutJ lumuiliatelr it will Is at least about the end of the first wH'k in October before the movement can lie completed. len. ChaTee U authorized to take from the ships now at Tnktl such stores as will lie necessary to last him through the winter. There are no late developments In the diplomatic side of the Chinese Attention. The Instructions to Minister Consrer relative to establishing relations Willi the t'hinese envoys Is still withheld, presumably to allow the president to administer tiiN.ui some finishing touches. This instruction is regarded ns of much imiortanco and will make a part of the ease of the government and lo laid lie fore congress at the next session. It Is settled that Minister Conger is to lie a member of the commission to settle the various questions remaining to bo adJusted. The reKirted adhesion of the liritish government to the position assumed by the T'ntted States government respecting the proposition to make the surrender of the Chinese ringleaders a condition pre-edent to negotiations has given the greatest satisfaction In otUclal circles here. STAMIIMi TOCJKTtlKK Knglaml' Answer to (icriii.inr Is a IHipliente of Onrs. London. Sept. "JO. Lord Salisbury has replied to the tierman note in tsrnis identical with those of the Fniiod States. The Itritish premier's decision to refuse to agree t. the terms of the tierman note was communicated verlwUl.T to the Cennan ambassador here. Count Von TT.mfeldt-Waldenlierg. Only a few officials are cognizant of what Lord Salisbury said to Count Von llatjsfeldt Waldenlx-rg. Official circles here were inclined to tieMVve that Ms lordship would agree with tiermany. Fut Instead of doing tut he nsetl almost exactly the terms 1u which Washington's refusal wa -ouhed. and this, said a high official. Is all tlw mor surprising considering that the Washington officials had not the slightest inkling of what Kng land's attitude would be." Apparently such a grouping was etitin-ly mirx faceted In Imth Iterlin and l.ondon: rttjil. until an oilicial statement is withheld. tish Tnument will le Tli Daily Chronicle. S70ts a bri'f editorial however, deparagraph to the attnonnivuvent, epn-ssing a hope that it is erriHieous and declaring that the only way in which F.ngland can reap the fruit of her exertions in China is by standing shoulder to shoulder with tJermanr and Japan. s the only effective compromise to nnss-Krench machinations and the weak kneed policy of America. The Times, lu an editorial on China' non-rererttant mood, refers to Great r.ritnhrs r'plv in the same tone as The Iai!y Clmnicle. and says: "The count rv would tn lvth astonishe.1 and ishix-k.Hl if our government did not wartnlv support the German pnixL i i tn.ilv itn-otuvivable that the liritish. if ail govrnments. should rede to the nrfpsal. at once reasonable and just."

The verdict in the Howard case is "guilty." "The sentence is death. The jury retired at .:10 a. mv ami returned "at 'J:47. The court room was crowded with people ea;er with interest. When the verdict was read, Howard displayed no more concern than others in the court room. The verdict was a surprise, as the jury was supposed to tie divided on Tuiii or innocence. It turns out the division was on the riejrreeof punish ment. The first ballot yesterday was unanimous for jjiilty. Two jurors voted for life imprisonment but they yielded on the first ballot today. Howard's cheeks blanched as he was remanded to jail. The jury was eomjiosed of nine Democrats, one Republican and two anti Goebel Demo crats.

It has become known among the Friends, though it has not yet been formally or publicly announced, that the Rev. Allen Jay, financial ajrent of Karlham cnllere, and Mrs. Naomi Harrison, another prominent and well-known local Friend, will marry in the. near future. They will take a weUdinr trip to Europe next spring. This announcement comes as a surprise to the many friends and acq uainta noes of both these ex cellent people. THE CROWD That Inhabited the Station Today A Motely Throne Indeed. The throng that occupied the union station this morning for a few min utes after.-: too arrival of the two trains from Indianapolis woxild have done credit, from the point of metropolitanism. to a city of NHi.WHi. Ice A Woman m the Case com pany was leaving, the crowd for the fair was coming in. and the atU ndants at the Yearlv Meeting of Friends were flocking Uichmondward in their annual pilgrimage. The result was a medley of c'aemical blondes.race-cours touts and tuaivers many of them typical. There were pretty girls who asked if "thee had seen" so-and-so, demure-faced women and seriousfaced men, with the smooth shaven. hrewd. flashily dressed, vdead-garue po ts. and the picture was quitt complete. If some of the more modern Frieudswere mingled in the pub lic mind with some of the more sedate of the raeinjrfraternity, the txokmakers mav as well feel complimented and the Quakers likewise, as no harm was intended and the mistake was perfectlv natural and easv to make.

I'; I Latv. PevdojMm'nts In the Situation Are all Favor-a!ilt-to Them. COLLIERIES A HE CLOSING The N orkiiifiTs That Had Been HoldingOut Are Now Too Short of Hands to Continue. The Troop In the Schuylkill District Find Time Iraaring; on Their Hands. Shenandoah, Ta.. Sept. 2d. The. few developments in the strike situation since Monday, are favorable to the strikers. Throe additional collieries were closed yesterday In this region iH-t-ause the numtier of men who reIiorted for duty was not sufficient to .operate them. In this city but one colliery is working. That is the Cambridge, which, according to J. C. McCiimis of the Cambridge coal company, has its full complement of men. Five oilier collieries in this region are still in operation, but are said to be short handed. The Fnglisli speaking mine workers of this iMirotigh have furmid a branch of the idled Mine Workers and 2."i0 are said by Organizer George Harris to have Joined the union. Mr. Harris in addressing the men said the presence of the militia has given unexpected impetus to the cause of organization. He also stated that 1'7.0 of the ;Io.o;ni mine workers iu 'district No. i, (the Schuylkill district! are Idle. The troops have nothing to occupy their time hut guard duty, practice marches and regimental parades. HAZI.KTOX WANTS TItOOPS NherilT Admits Inability to Check the Night Jlarrhing. 1 1 axel ton. Pti.. Sept. 20. It is learned that Sheriff Harvey of this 1 Luzernei county has telegraphed to Gov. Stone asking that troops lie sent to this county fn the ground that the sheriff can uot guarantee the safety of persons or projierty during the nigfit marches of the strikers. The governor, it is understood, is considering the matter. It is also earned that the sheriff's request is backed up by several telegrams from private citizens of H.izelton who. It is said, are mine operators. It Is liolierod that the sheriff is of the opinion that the presence if troops will prevent further marching, thus lessening the possibility of serious trouble. The luoHt - imiMjrtant development ashler from- the' rMaeft for sohlterai. Is the answer-of i. It. Maikle & Co., to the demands presented by the firm's employes t days ago. The answer is not considered satisfactory by many of the Markle employes and what action they will take is not certain. There is ranch talk among them in favor of a strike. The firm flatly refuses to grant the demand of the men for a and 10 per cent advance, announces Its willingness to pay the men semi-monthly, agrees to arbitrate the question of cheaper powder, refuses the demands of the driver loys and engineers for more pay. promises to adjust grievances relating to tlte carrying of men and tools down and up the slope In mine cars, offers the timber men a new scale for propping which Is lower than the rate askeu for. agrees to build powder houses so that the men will not have to carry the explosive a great distance. The Markle tirm suspended today iu order to give the men an opportunity to consider the company's answer. Mitchell Is Satisfied. Hazleton. I'a.. Sept. i-"'?. Fresident Mitchell, in discussing the situation in the entire region last night, said: "Uejxirts from the Schuylkill district are that the entire Mahonoy valley from Mahouoy City to Ashland Is idle. This is a gain of three large collieries. It is generally coiict-dod that the strike in the Schuylkill district will soon embrace every man employed there. On the whole, we are well satisfied with the status of the strike." Conditions at Nome. Vshingtj'l. Sept. 2d.

Under Special Legislative Act a New Courthouse Will Now lie Erected. Kentland. Ind., Sept. 2C Kentland won its second victory at yesterday's election, the issue In-iug the removal of the county seat of Newton county from this place to I!rmk, a town nine miles northeast of here. Krook was defeatist by a majority almost as great as was returned against Morocco June l!. The vote was a great disapisiintment to lirook and somewhat of a surprise to Kentland. With one township out, which will not materially alter the result, Hrook re-eived l.,'it2 and Kentland l.KMl. One of the great surprises was the lack of interest taken in tiie northern towuships. At least ooo voters refused to go to the m11s and Morocco, the last contestant, cast her vote almost solidly against removal. Sixtyfive per cent was required for removal, and lirook will receive a fraction over 52. There was no imiKirtation of voters and none of the exciting scenes of the last election were repeated. Tnder the requirements of section IT of the sjieeial act of the last legislature It now liecomes the duty of the commissioners to erect a courthouse at Kentland.
