Cited lacking. 17. announcing the arrival of $:h f ial Corani?sloner Ilockhill at Peking on that date. Mr. Conner made no statement as to conditions In the Chinese situatln. Th United States government has made lull andrtomplete answers to the various Important ir.M'ilries that have been addressed to it by the powers relative to the Chinos: trouble. Fays the Associated Pre. Moreover, it has pone farther and has ci-idr a disclosure of all of its purpose?, and. aü a member of the administration puts it. it has thrown its hand open on the tab. Th!.- action was taken after tf:e Cabinet meeting to-day. and a luncheon at the White House that followed served to reduce the decision to the ultimate form. At half past Z o'clock Minister Wu called, fcy appointment, cn acting Secretary Hill and was handed a memorandum embodying the response of the United States government to the request of Prince Chins that Mr. Conger, or some other person, be Immediately empowered to begin negotiations with the CMneye authorities for a final settlement. The minister cami away with a dissatisfied expression on his face. Next came M. Thlebaut, the trench charge. A few minutes conversation sufficed to Impart to him, orally, an answer to his own verbal Inquiry. Then Baron Sternberg, the German charge, who had been notified of the readiness of the State Department to make answer to the German note, called and was given that answer. He hastened away to cable it to his government. Tho department then sent the answer to the Kussian Inquiry forward by messenger and wired cablegrams containing the substance of the answers to its diplomatic representatives abroad. This closed cne of the most Interesting and important phases of the Chinese entanglement. i The State Department absolutely refused to make any statement as to the nature cf the answers, taking the ground that to Co so would be a violation of the diplomatic proprieties. However, as It wa3 calculated that all of these answers will have reached their destinations abroad by tomorrow. It was promised the text of the communications should be given to tne press to-morrow afternoon. The ministers and charges who received the messages here adopted the same secretive attitude. The President himself, it seems, had given instructions that every effort should be made to maintain secrecy In this matter until the official disclosure. With all this. It Is known that the German proposal that negotiations with China be deferred until the Chinese responsible for the Peking outrages have been surrendered to the allies has failed of approval by our government. The declination has been conveyed in a manner that cannot give offense, but it 13 believed the United States government cannot recognize the principle that a country may be called on to surrender Its own citizens to a foreign power or powers for 5 punishment. The government does not reinqulsh the idea of the ultimate punishment of the offenders when they are properly Identified, but it does not believe the pursuit of this object should put a stop to ail negotiations. The Idea of a commission to adjust the ciifticultles with China Is again brought forward, and it Is suggested that such a commission on the part of the United states may either form part of the joint International commission, which it 13 hoped Vi 11 be appointed for this purpose, or, in the tvent of the failure of the effort to secure Jcint action, then the members can go on und deal directly with China for a settlement. The names of Minister Conger. Gen. James II. Wilson and Mr. Rockhill are mentioned In this connection. It Is believed the outcome, from a military point, of today's action will be the withdrawal of all but one regiment of the American troops Irom China to Manila, where they can be held ready to return in an emergency. General Chaffee probably will remain In China In command of the force there, which will be regarded simply as a legation guard. One fact concerning the United States' answer that was learned officially Is that they contain no new proposition: they simlly clear away tho debris of unanswered Inquiries. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, to-day talked quite freely on the Chinese situation. He expressed the opinion that the government eventually would be able to withdraw and avoid the danger of becoming involved in a common war of the powers against China.

FOUR BLACKS LYNCHED

TAKES FROM JAIL AT POSC1IATOl'LA, LA., AD HANGHU. .Were Suspected of Belnif Implicated in the Robbery of n Hotme In Tauirlpahoa Parish. PONCHATOULA, La., Sept. 21. Four negroes were lynched here last night who were suspected of burglarizing the residence of Henry Hatfelder, whose home is In Tangipahoa parish. The victims were: IS.MAH ROLLINS, aged eighteen. NATHANIEL BOWMAN, aged fortyreven. CHARLES ELLIOTT, aged twenty. GEORGE BICKMAN, aged twenty-two. It Is said there has been an epidemic of burglaries in the lower section of Tangipahoa parish. A vigilance committee was long ago formed for the purpose of taking summary action when the opportunity presented Itself. The opportunity came yesterday, when Hatfelder reported that his residence had been entered the light before and robbed of $S0 in cash. As soon as the facts were known the authorities acted with promptness, arresting fourteen suspects during the day. These were confined in the small Jail. During the day there was suppressed excitement, and it was evident that some of the negroes would be severely dealt with. Last night the coors of the Jail were broken open and the tour negroes who had been selected by the mob as the most guilty were taken out and hanged to the limbs of a large oak tree which stands near the jail. The people of Ponchatoula, both white and black, c'eplore the action of the mob. and .both races, in mass meeting to-day, appointed a law and order committee. PLACES BLAME. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) ers than their own. By holding these separate conferences simultaneously in one city there could be an exchange of opinion between all the mine owners and miners whose interests were at stake, thus removing the possibility of one company being placed at a disadvantage by paying more for labor than was exacted from their competitors. Were they to act upon this idea I firmly believe that the railroad companies could finally arrive at an agreement with their employes and establish a relation and set up a precedent which would make strikes almost impossible in the future. Such action on the part of the nine great railroads would, of course, deprive the United Mine Workers of much of the credit to which we believe them to be Justly entitled, but we place far above consideration of Individual or organization the question of what shall be for the good of all anthracite workers, their wives and their children in this supreme crisis. "These are my sincere expressions, and I appeal to an impartial and Just public to judge between us and these nine railroad presidents if they shall refuse to meet In a spirit of fairness this proposal of a man whose chief object is to help lighten the weary burden of a struggling, earnest mass of humanity. JOHN M. MITCHELL. "President United Mine Workers of America." TALKS WITH OPERATORS. .None of Them Seemingly In Fmor of Arbitration. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.

I am not prepared to give-an opinion as to how much longer the strike will last, but knowing as I do the feeling of our men, I cannot believe that it will go on much longer." President Ollphant, when asked whether his company would be likely to engage outside labor In the event of the strike lasting over another two weeks, said: "I do not think we are likely to engage men in the place of those who are now out. Such action Invariably leads to trouble of the most serious character, and we think too much of our men to replace them with outsiders." William V. S. Thome, vice president of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, who made a trip to the scene of the coal strike, returned to this city to-day and presented the company's view of matters in the anthracite region as follows: "I have just returned from the mines, where I had a personal interview with each of our mine and breaker foremen, who all assured me that our men had expressed no dissatisfaction whatever, but had simply struck because of what the labor agitators told them, and because they had heard that employes of other mines would strike, and they were In fear of being stoned and otherwise abused if they reported for work. We are not making any effort at present to run our mines, and shall delay doing so until the local public appreciate more fully the fact that our miners are already well paid, and until euch of our men as are disposed to work can do so without being interfered with. I believe the majority of our men, especially the older ones, are opposed to the strike and would gladly resume work if assured of being unmolested at home or on their way to and from work. On account of these facts and because of the large number of collieries working in other parts of the anthracite region it does not seem probable that the strike can be of long duration. About our mines and breakers common labor is paid from 25 to SO cents per day more than is customarily paid to laborers of the same class in that vicinity. These rates are as high as the coal market conditions justify and compare most favorably with wages paid for equally skilled labor in any other industries." , Mr. Ollphant said that friends of his In Philadelphia had written to him asking whether he would meet the archbishop in this city. He had replied that he would be pleased to meet tho archbishop as a gentleman or Individual, but that he must decline to recognize him as a representative of the miners. Mr. Ollphant said that arbitration in this way is out of the question. President Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, said he, too, must decline to receive Archbishop Ryan as a strikers spokesman, but would meet him in an individual capacity. Making; More Money. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 21. An absolute denial was made to-day by General Manager Hend-rson that the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company had Increased Its wages to the mine employes 10 per cent. The report, he said. was evidently due to the company Increasing its working hours from rexen and a half per day to nine per day. "This means," said Mr. Henderson, "that the men are making really 10 per cent, more money, but there is no change in the rate of wages, except that the men are working longer hours and consequently are making more money. The rate, however, remains the same." Efforts nt Arbitration. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2L Archbishop Ryan to-day confirmed the report that President R. M. Ollphant, of the Delaware & Hudson Company, and President W. II. Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Company, had consented to confer with him on the mine workers' strike. He said the time and place of the conference would be determined some time today. Regarding the visit last night of the Rev. Father Phillips, of St. Gabriel's Roman Catholic Church, Hazleton, Archbishop Ryan said he now felt more encouraged over the prospects for a peaceful outcome of the-ditliculties between the operators and the strikers. 1sinsr Soft Coal Instead of Hard. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Soft coal has been substituted for anthracite by a number of Brooklyn factories on account of the strike. To-morrow or on Monday local dealers who have been charging $3.50 a ton for bituminous coal will advance the price to $1, with the probability of making another raise before another week is passed. Railway Officials Resign. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21. It was officially announced to-day that I. A. Swrelgard, general superintendent of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway, and F. C. Tomllnson superintendent of the Netr Ycrk

division, had tendered their resignations, to take effect to-day and Monday, respectively. It was also announced that W. G. Bessltr. superintendent of the Reading and Lebanon divisions, had been appointed to succeed Mr. Sweigard and that W. A. Garrett, superintendent of the Philadelphia division, will occupy the place vacated by Mr. Tomlinson.

The storm of last night over northern and northwestern Texas was one of the most disastrous rain and electrical storms experienced In year. The damage Is heavy, but Is confined largely to cotton and railroad Interests. Farmers declare that the Injury to the cotton crop will reach 10 per cent. The Trinity river at Dallas has risen rearly thirty feet since last night and. overflowed Its banks this afternoon. The situation became so alarming that about 3 o'clock Sheriff Hughes sent out mounted couriers from this city to notify farmers and other residents along the valley to move out, as they otherwise would be likely to be caught by a ' flood during the night. At Fort Worth there was considerable loss sustained. Relief otes. Mayor Van Wyck, of New York, has collected JJ25.403.75 and forwarded the money to Galveston. A total of $57,647 in cash has been subscribed in Philadelphia, in aiditlon to contributions of clothing, etc., sent on relief trains. The extra day's racing at Gravesend yesterday netted about IS.09S for the Galveston sufferers. James R. Keene donated the purse won by his colt Unmasked In the Sympathy handicap, some of the jockeys subscribing their riding fees. The band, the bookmakers and the track employes all gave their mite. The Chinese minister. Mr. Wu, on hearing of the Galveston disaster, telegraphed to Governor Sayers an expression of deep sympathy and accompanied it with his check for $100. Yesterday he received a. telegram from Governor Sayers, returning his most hearty thanks for the expression of sympathy and the practical character of the accompanying note. The Chinese consul general at New York also headed a big Chinese subscription for the Galveston sufferers. WILHELM IS CUNNING. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) reception among the powers. A Foreign Office official said this afternoon: "We hear from Washington that no official expression regarding the German note has thus far been made, but that the note has produced a favorable impression there. Several answers have already been received, but no Information about them can be given out now, except the general statement that the reception of the note has been everywhere favorable. I repeat that no person in authority at Washington has expressed disapprobation of the note." The Berliner Tageblatt, in the course of an inspired article, says: "Russia. France and the United States have not replied to the German note. The answers received will not be published now, in order to avoid the impression that they are intended to play off one power against the other. France's formal answer although the French opinions are favorable will depend upon Russia's, which it is here surmised will be delayed. With respect to the offer of the Chinese government to send a special mission to Berlin to express regret for the murder of Baron Von Ketteier, I can say that this may be acccepted later. At present we have no diplomatic relations with China." It Is stated that Austria, France and Italy have agreed to the German proposal. The Lokal Anzeiger declares, upon alleged authority, that Germany expects not only a mere mandarin, but a member of the imperial family as a. bearer of the message of regret. "The Chinese court by an imperial edict issued Sept. 8." says a Shanghai dispatch to the Lokal Anreiger, "was removed from Tai-Yen-Fu to Sian-Fu. The military authorities In FeKing all agree that punitive expeditions to Shan-Si and Manchuria have become necessary because of the wholesale murders of missionaries, and Dr. Mumm Von Schwartzensteln (German minister to China) urges this course." The Moscow correspondent of the Standard, reverting to the subject of the massacres this morning, says: "From a recent visitor to the Amur region I learn that massacres are the order of the day with the troops that are overrunning Manchuria. The orders are issued by General Grodokoff. But it Is quite certain that Emperor Nicholas must be Ignorant of their nature. My informant has seen a series of telegrams from one Manchurian commander, every one of which beseeches that he be allowed to spar peaceable citizens, but the Russian indifference to the lives of the common herd is still of a truly Oriental type." The same correspondent asserts that troops by the wholesale continue to pour into Manchuria. Emperor Wi'liam Is evidently making ready to send more troops to China. All the regimental commanders in their farewell speeches to soldiers who have finished two years' service make a point of declaring that such an increase Is necessary and of expressing confidence that there will be volunteers enough to meet all demands of the situation. TRAMPS MANGLED. Five Killed mid Fire Injured In a nnllvrny Wreck at SndfevlIIe, Ky. CINCINNATI. O..

Corbett. the pugilist, will return to New York by the first available steamer to effect a reconciliation with his wife. He said to-day: "I received some American papers on Wednesday containing alleged reasons for my sailing for Europe and Interviews witi my wife as to my reasons for leaving. Shi lias been imposed on by Intimate acquaintances I supposed my best friends. These persons will have to answer 10 me personally. Though my wife's statement about the McCoy fight are ridiculous, I am confident she made them under a false Impression. It would be madness for anyone to think that, If I would try to throw the McCoy fight, I would make such nit arrangement in the presence of my wife Or any other outside rarty. Things of that kind. If done, are not done in the presence of third parties. The woman story has Leen denied over and over again by every body who has seen me in London. They know it to be untrue." M. N. Considlne, Corbet t"s manager, who was present at the interview, opposts Corbett's return to New York, haying that thr? pugilist's wife's accusations are ho unjust as to warrant a reparation, but Corbett said: "I am going back to fare the tituation." The pugilist denies celling his buttress to Considine's brother. Corbett will sail for New York next week, but Considlne will remain here. Annexation of lalanda. WKLLINGTON. N. Z., Sept. 21.

Tlila Time the KidvUnpr DUouiifi . .avnl Dockyards. VANCOUVER. B. C, Sept. 21.-LIeut. Hobson left last evening for Brooklyn. Many persons were at the Canadian Pacific station to shake hands with the American naval officer. Lieutenant Hobson talked freely and expressed the opinion that the serious part of the Philippine war was over; that guerrillr warfare might keep up for ßome time, uut that the Insurgents were well In hand. He believed the United States had done right In it wars and had acted wisely In restraining the natives with a firm hand. He earnestly expressed himself regarding the defends In Pugct sound and of the Pacific coast, and asked many questions regarding the defenses at Esquimau with a view It was thought of protecting Alaska from possible enemies until the Pacific coast defenses could be materially strengthened. Again referring to the Philippines Lieutenant Hobson said: "The United States government has deflt nitely decided to establish dockyards on a large scale In the Philippines. Our new responsibilities make that imperative. We must have facilities In the East for docking our own ships and repairing th-m. We had to use a Japanese dock for the Oregon. That Is all right In Its way. but we must have one of our own In that part of the world. One nation cannot depend on another for that kind of thing forever. Thek new base will be established in the Philippine islands. Cavite being close to Manila naturally suggests itself, but the harbor has been found to be too shallow and also inconvenient in other ways. It ha therefore practically ben decided to construct the dockyards at Sublg bay, a sheltered harbor about eighty miles from Manila, which has sufficient depth of water for all purposes and is really an Ideal place for a naval base." To learn all that he could about dockyards Lieutenant Hobson Inspected the naval yards at Amoy and l oo-Cnow. While he was In Japan the Oregon was docked and the work of putting it to rights was Intrusted to the Japanese officials, lly permission given at the request of the I'nittd States he was jermitted to inspect the work. Permission to Inspect the repairing operations Included permission to loui over the dockyard, and observation made by Lieutenant Hobson thereon will forr the subject matter of a statement to be made to the naval authorities. Credit Where Credit Is Due. St. Paul Pioneer Press. Feople who have had little faith in the Weither Bureau service should give the bureau great credit for its work at Galveston, where hundreds of lives were aved by warnings of the approach of the storm, given for several successive days before the arrival of the hurricane. The bureau could not prevent the loss of life, but had its warnings been more generally heed d th horror would hive been greatly lessened. A&tnluat Uipanalon. New York Tribune.
