OFFER AN INCREASE. Operators in the Anthracite Region Present Terms. 'Will Pay Miners an Advance off Ten Per Cent. Over the Preaent Scale—Won’t Recognise the Union. Scranton, Pa., Oct. I.—At every colliery in the anthracite region a notice will be posted Tuesday morning announcing a ten per cent, increase in wages based on the present scale, effective October 1, and that the operators will arbitrate any employes may present. There is no condition to be attached as to the men returning to work before the arbitration shall begin, so it is to be inferred that the men are privilgcd to meet in convention and adopt any plan of action they may deem advisable before entering upon arbitration. It is supposed the miners will come together as members of the union, fix the minimum of the concessions they will be content with, and then go forth as individuals to treat with their employers through committees of employes. The arbitrations being concluded satisfactorily, if they will be, the committees of employes will report back to the convention of United Mine Workers that they have come to a settlement, and the strike will then be declared off. This would avoid the recognition of the union by the operators, and at the same tjme permit the union to regulate the terms of settlement. PoMtn Offer of Increase. Philadelphia, Oct. 1. —An offer of an increase of ten per cent, in miners’ wages was on Sunday inaugurated by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal <fc Iron company, and this move, it is staled, will be followed on Tuesday by similar notices at every colliery in the anthracite region. It is expected by the operators that this increase in wages will be satisfactory to the men, and they believe many of the strikers will take advantage of the offer and return to work. Mining operations will, in this event, be given an impetus and the operators expect there will then be a gradual resumption until the collieries will again have their full complement of employes. The Philadelphia & Reading company operates 39 collieries, and of these 2? have been shut down, owing to insufficient working force. , Whether the miners will accept the proffer of the company and return in sufficient numbers to operate the mines cannot be foretold. Reports received from several points in the Schuylkill region, where the Reading collieries are located, rather indicate that the mine workers will follow the instruction of their organization officials and remain away from the mines. President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, received no notice of the intention of the operators to offer the increase in wages, and the intimation is thus given that the miners’ organization will receive no recognition from the operators. Miner* Warned. Philadelphia, Oet. I.—The following notice, bearing date of October 1, was posted Sunday in the vicinity of all the collieries of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron company in the anthracite region., It was signed -‘•by Superintendent Luther, of the Philadelphia & Reading company: “This company will pay an advance of ten per cent, on the wages of all men and boys employed at its collieries. This advance takes effect to-day." Reneath this notice another was posted which read ns follows: "Fellow Mine Workers: United Mine Workers of America—Do not pay any attention to this notice posted by Mr. Tuther, of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron company, but wait until you hoar from President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, or until you have decfded by your own locals what Is right for you to do. "C. B. POTTER." Mr. Potter Is an officer in the district branch of the United Mine Workers of America. The regular Reading company advance for the last half of September and the first half of October had previously been fixed ,at six per cent, above the $2.50 basis. The scale for the preceding 30 days was at the $2.50 basis. The advance of ten per cent, offered in the posted notice by the Reading company is separate and distinct from the natural scale increase, and hence, the total increase to the miners would be 16 per cent. Mitchell Not Surprised. Hazleton. Pa., Oct. 1. —The posting by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal A Iron company of a notice granting on increase of ten per cent, to all the employes of its 39 collieries in the Schuylkill valley did not cause any apparent commotion at the headquarters of the United Mine Workers here Sunday. President Mitchell did not know of the action of t+ie Reading company until Informed of it by a re]>orter. He did not express the least surprise. He refused to discuss the advance, but it is understood that he knew the ten per cent, increase would be made and was anxious to see in what manner the information would be conveyed to the men. The action of the Reading company in directly notifying its men through posters indicates that the operators will not recede from their position of refusal to recognize the union.

TUAN’S DEGREDATION. Minister Wu Receive* Official Notification That the Prince la to Be Pnniahed. Washington, Oct. 2. —Mr. Wu, the Chinese minister, has received official continuation of the issuance of an imperial decree degrading Prince Tuan, Kangi and other officials for their course in regard to the recent troubles in China. This information agrees with that contained in a dispatch received by the state department Monday from Consul Me Wade at Canton. The minister has heard nothing of the designation of officials reported by Minister Conger to act in concert in peace negotiations, but he has no d'oubt it is correct. Washington, Oct. 2.—Several important dispatches were received Monday from China. Generally they tend to confirm the events recorded Saturday. From Canton. Consul McWade reports the issue of the decree punishing Tuan and his colleagues, so that there is no longer doubt as to tbe accuracy of Sheng’s statement on that point. Mr. Conger al*o has received official notification of the Chinese peace commission, which was forecasted by Minister Wu’s advices several days ago. Mr. Conger made no reference to the condemnatory decree, hence it is inferred that it was not issued when his dispatch was sent last Thursday. The text of these two dispatches is as follows: “(’anton. China, Oct. 1. 1900.—Secretary of State, Washington: Decrees just issued: Emperor blames ministers for whole trouble. Orders Tuan. Kangi and other officials degraded and punished by imperial courts. Emperor holds Tuan and others entirely responsible bloodshed. (Signed) “M'WADS.” “Peking. Sept. 27, 1900 (via Taku). Sept. 30. 1900.—Secretary of State, Washington: Have received notice to-day from Prince Ching that he, Earl Li, Jung. Lu and Viceroys Tin Kun Yi and Chang Chip Tung will act in concert- in negotiations for peace. Jung Lu is in the interior. Li Hung Chang is at Tientsin. (Signed) “CONGER.” it is evident that the two viceroys mentioned are Liu Kun Yi, the viceroy of Nanking, and Chang Chip Tung, the viceroy of Wu-Cliang, the difference in spelling being in telegraphic transmission. There lias been some question as to Yung Lu being a member of tbe commission, but Mr. Conger’s report settles all doubt. Minister Wu already had received an edict naming Yung Lu as one of the commission, but this was questioned in other Chinese quarters. The appointment is not likely to be satisfactory to any of the powers, as Yung Lu has made himself almost as offensive as Prince Tuan. He is generalisimo of the imperial troops and’is regarded as mainly responsible for the persistent fight on the legations during the crisis. The other commissioners are highly acceptable. The war department is in receipt of a cablegram from Gen. Chaffee, indicating that he had received the instructions to withdraw most of the United States forces from China and had provided, in accordance with those instructions, for a legation guard. The dispatch follows: “Received Sept. 30. 1900, via Taku.—Adjutant General. Washington.—Sept. 29, 30 case-led from Tientsin. Received your numbers 42 and 43. The Ninth infantry. Third squadron of Sixth cavalry and light battery will constitute legation guard. Shall endeavor to get all supplies to Tong Chow before water falls. (Signed) “CHAFFEE.” Dispatches numbers 42 and 43 referred to by Gen. Chaffee were those containing his instructions to withdraw the American troops from Peking. The war department has also received the following from Gen. Chaffee: Taku, Sept. 30.—Adjutant General. Washington: Health command good. Have accepted invitation hospital ship Maine to transfer some convalescents to hospital ship Relief now repairing Nagasaki. (Signed) “CHAFFEE.” St. Petersburg. Get. 2. —The Official Messenger declares the tenor of the. government’s official communications in regard to Russia’s task in the far east clearly demonstrates “that the reports of the annexation of Manchuria are devoid of all foundation." •St. Petersburg, Oct. 2.—The war office announces that dispatches from Khabarovsk and Kharbin say Gen. Tschi tschagoff sent Col. Kopeiken with a detachment of Cossacks, railroad troops and volunteers to engage a force of Chinese who had occupied the railroad at Sanchaken.

TRADE REVIEW. Effect of the Anthracite Coal Strike on the General Situation in the Commercial World. New York, Sept. 29.—R. G. Dun A Co.'e Weekly Review of Trade says: “Not Wall street alone, but the entire business world as well, watched the progress of efforts to bring about a settlement of the anthracite coal strike with active Interest. This week the paralysis of the anthracite industry was more complete than last, and the effect was seen upon the distribution of merchandise In the east and the placing of new orders with manufacturers. Coal advanced 25 cents above last week, and the larger companies refused to name a selling price. The strike Involved about 15,000 more miners and hundreds of train men, but the working force has Increased largely through the settlement between the Amalgamated association and several steel companies, whose works, employing 60,000 men, have been Idle, while only 1,600 men were affected by the shut down of the Susquehanna Iron and Steel company by a strike. In the east the conditions seem generally favorable for a quick recovery with the coal strike over, while In the west there had been no noteworthy reduction in the distribution of any class of goods. Weather conditions have been favorable for late crops, and farm work 1s progressing rapidly, except for some damage to grain in shock in the northwest. “Wheat again rose to S3 cents, but failed to maintain the advance. Corn for prompt delivery was scarce and advanced ten cents above the price at this date last year, or over 25 per cent. “Failures for the week were 204 in the United States, against 157 last year, and 13 in Canada, against 21 last year.’" A WARM TIME.

Gregory passed away Sunday in the presence of his congregation at the morning service in St. Stephen’s M. E. church, Marble Hill, at the upper end of Manhattan island. Physicians had urged Dr. Gregory to retire from active church work, as he had long been a sufferer from heart trouble. They told him that he might live for years if he would cease labor, but if he continued to work he was liable to be stricken at any moment. As late as Saturday Dr. Darlington, of King’s Bridge, who was attending Dr. Gregor} - , warned him against preaching Sunday. The clergyman said to his physician: “I prefer to meet death in that way to retiring and shirking my duty in order to live longer.” Dr. Gregory was 63 years old. He had not preached in St. Stephen’s for three Sundays on account of heart attacks, but when word was passed around that he would resume his duties Sunday the church was filled. The service had progressed to the singing of a hymn which precedes the sermon. Dr. Gregory arose and read three verses of the hymn, beginning: “Love, divine, all love excelling.” While the music of the anthem filled the church Dr. Gregory was noticed to seat himself and then fall limp over one of the arms of the chair. Members of the congregation went to his assistance and two physicians who happened to be passing the church were called in. They saw at once that the minister was beyond human aid, and in five minutes from the time that he was stricken Dr. Gregory was dead. Dr. Gregory was born in Medina. N. Y. His first pastorate was at Corn-wall-on-the-Hudson. ne was at the Forty-third Street Methodist church in this city from 187 G to 1879 and at the Central Methodist church from 1895 to 1896.
