XOKDON. Sept 23. Lord Salisbury's
manifesto to the electors of the United
Kingdom, in anticipation of the parlia
mentary .general elections emphasizes the
necessity that the Queen's Government
Should be supported by a strong parlia
mentary majority "as the only means of
convincing the inhabitants of the con
quered South African territories that there
is no hope of diverting the government
from "their policy by persistent resistance
or .agitation." After remarking that 'tall
the recent troubles in South Africa havo
toecn due to a shift of parliamentary opin
ion at e, critical moment," the Prime "Min
ister goes on to say:
"It will depend upon the disposition and
conduct of the Boers how Jong1 an interval
is to elapse before their full position as
a British colony is attained. The brilliant
success of Lord Roberts Army must not
blind us to the imperfections disclosed in
our own defensive armor Imperfections
-which, but for the -war, might have re
mained unnoticed. It "will be the urgent
duty of parliament and the government
to remove these defects, a duty -which cer
tainly could not be discharged by a min
istry dependent upon a broken party."
In conclusion, Lord Salisbury refers to
China as "a difficulty -among others con
fronting the government, and requiring
that the government should be armed "with
a strong majority in the House of Com
mons." He urges that in view of all
these considerations there should be no
abstentions at the polls.
John llorley, Liberal member for Mont
roseburghs, in his manifesto, declares his
opinion- has not changed; that everything
snigbt have been attained in South Africa
without "war. "In a single year," he says,
'"the work of a generation in uniting the
Dutch and English in South Afrjca has
.been undone, and not even In Ireland has
the difficult race problem been more mis
erably handled."
Mr. Mbrleyi admits that it is impossible
to remove the proclamations of annexa
tion. The Earl of Rosebery, issuing a mani
festo in tho form of a letter "to the Lib
eral candidate, says:
"In the present situation of the -world,
I "would vote for almost any strong ad
ministration; but the present government
la strong only in votes. In other respects
it is the weakest government I can recol
lect" After enumerating the government's
failures at heme ar.d abroad," Xom Kose
8ery criticizes the conduct of the South
African War, declaring that it has "ex
posed England to humiliation unparalleled
la our history since the American War."
Ho declares that nothing can be hoped
for from the government either in the
wcy of urgent domestic reforms or tho
reform of tho War Office.
GER3XAX STOCKS ARK LOW.
A Bod. Brealc In Coal and Iron
Snares.
TBERtHNv Sept 23. The Bourse last
week experienced exceedingly bad con
ditions. Heavy falls, were reported along
the entire list of Industrials. Yesterday's
jjrices were lowest of the year. The
week began with the announcement of a
redaction In. the price of rolled iron goods
oy the Sileslan syndicate from 210 marks
to ISO. This caused a had "break in iron
and coal shares. As a consequence the
tBours yesterday wus almost in a pan
icky state. Heavy selling orders for iron
jand coal shares from German outsiders,
enforced by the bears, reduced quotations
hrfoJently, The falls in iron shares ranged
fafroin 10 to 20 points, and in coal shares
irom Cto 8.
Bank stocks suffered severely because
tef the decision of the banks to confine
(brokerage business to registered firms
inoiviauais, which will cause a Iocs
' earnings. Domestic government funds
led moderately.
The weakness of the bourse causes con
(Blderable surprise, because money grew
easier all the week, and the August re
"turas of "the great coal companies showed
eplendid results. Indeed, the money
market Improved beyond all expectation.
Private discount declined & during the
week, dosinff at 4. Loans for the
monthly settlement command 4 to 6.
A more confident feeling prevails re
garding the end of the month, as the mar
ket expects that the Reichsbank will be
able to avoid advancing the rate. The
five million Dresden 4 per cent loan was
four-fold oversubscribed there.
The Rhine Westfalisch Zeltung asserts
"that the government intends to raise a
loan of 100,00!),000 to 320,000,000 marks at
8& per cent In Germany before the end
Of the year. The recent New Tork loan
has been listed on the Berlin bourse.
Germany's coal imports during August
showed an Increase of 799.233 tons over
August 1899, the exports showing an in
crease of 77032 tons. Iron imports in
creased 151,141 tons, the export decreasing
31S tons. The incomes of German rail
ways last month aggregated 155,000,000
marks, or an increase of 11,000.000 marks
upon the figures of August 1899.
The sugar market is strong, chiefly in
consequence of the dry weather prevail
ing throughout Europe and the heavy
American buying. The investigations of
Herr Licht the sugar expert show that
the average sugar contents of beets
throughout! Germany equals 17.44 per cent
as against 15.78 per cent in 1899.
Of late travel to the United States has
been unprecedentedly high. TYom Bre

KLECTTOK" MAKES TRADE DULL.
South Africa the One Bright Spot on
British Horizon.
IDONDQN". Sept 23. Last week the
dock exchange had on the whole a quiet
.experience. The decision of the govern-,
snentrespectingthe Parliamentary general
elections was virtually a death blow to
business, which is not likely to show
signs of reviving life until they are over.
Indications of dearer money are not
wanting, and the Chinese outlook is dis
couraging. South Africa is the one
bright corner on the horizon. The war
Is, to -all intents and purposes, at an end;
and a great development of trade is ex
pected to follow close -upon the heels of
peace.
A dull dreary week closed with a gen
eral downward trend. As a natural re
sult of the Pennsylvania coal strike Amer
ican securities were decidedly weak, show
Sing a depression of from one point to
three points on the week, although a bet
ter tone prevailed yesterday, and some
lines closed higher. Illinois Central rose
4 points; Reading 2ds, ; do lsts, ;
Baltimore & Ohio, ; "Union Pacific, &.
On the other hand, Louisville & Nashville
fell ; TTnion Paciflc, ; Chesapeake &
Ohio, yc Denver & Rio Grande preferred,

It is said that Germany is buying at
tho lowest figures, Berlin operators ex
pectins a pronounced revival before the
end of the year.
Mining shares were somewhat neglected.
Rands falling . At last Thursday's
meeting of the board of directors of the
Bank of England, S, S. Gladstone, gov
ernor of the bank, made the significant
statement that the reserve would possibly
be reduced by the end of the year. ' This
points to dearer money, which is now
plentiful and In good demand at the fol
lowing rates: 3 per cent until Monday;

Counselled Against Liquor.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept- 23. The
strikers of the Wyoming Valley spent a
quiet day today. There were no demon
tratlons of any kind. At St John's
Church, Plttston, this morning, 5ttsv.
Father Garvey, the vlcar-general of "the
Scranton diocese,. spoke, at Jength on the
strike and the shooting at Shenandoah.
He said these were times of excitement
and those engaged In the strike should
keep cool. The use of liquor in times
of strikes often times' m causes trouble.
The speaker was of the "opinion that the
strike would be a long drawn out affair
and that the men might just as well ac
cept the inevitable and prepare for the
siege. To better prepare his parlshoners
who were among the strikers, Father
Garvey said he wanted all the strikers
in the church next Sunday morning and
he would administer the temperance
pledge to them, the same to be kept
while the strike lasted.
Trouble Expected at Shamolcini
SHAMOKIN, Pa., Sept 23. All was
quiet in the strike situation here today
but it is expected trouble may be pre
cipitated by an attempt to start the
Cameron collieries in the morning. At
a largely attended meeting of the United
Mine-Workers at Treverton last night It
was resolved to remain away from the
work until the strike is declared off.
John Fahey, district president of the
United Mine-Workers, went to Hazleton
this morning on a call from President
Mitchell.
INTEjVD TO RESUME TODAY.
Preacher Sara Miners "Cannot "Win
More Disorder Expected.
SHENANDOAH, Pa., Sept 23. An air
of expectancy was noticeable among the
people here today, and although it would,
bo difficulty to find la more peaceful com
munity the opinion is freely expressed
that tomorrow moaning will witness, a
renewal of the riotous scenes of Friday.
The superintendents of all the mines In
the vicinity of this cltyi and Sframokln
today reiterated their intention of re
suming operations tomorrow. The strik
ers, however, declare that they will not
succeed, at .least In the Shenandoah
mines. r
It was not until afternoon tbfct there
was any noticeable activity on the
streets. In the morning churches of all
denominations were crowded and the ser
mons were invariably on the subject of,
the mine troubles. Rev. R. F. Rellly told
his congregation that the mlneworkers
could not win. He advised them to re
frain from acts of violence and to return
to work. He pointed out that the mines
were their only means of support, while
the proceeds of the Reading Company
from the mines were only small "in pro
portion to its receipts. The company
would not starve, he sold, but the mine
workers would.
Father Peter Abramats, of the Luthe
ran Church of St Gfeorge, said that if tho
men expected to win perfect organization
was necessary. He believed that if thsy
were undivided their struggle would meet
with success.
During the afternoon demonstrations
were made by the Governor's Troop and
Battery C, which marched through the
streets of the city and along the roads
leading to the mines. Representatives of
the seven colleries about this" city visited
General Gobln in a body this afternoon
to arrange for the protection of their
workmen on their way to tho colleries.
District Superintendent Boyd, of the Phil
adelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Com
pany's workings, informed General Go
bin that he had assurances that many of
his employes are kept away only through
fear of mob violence.
General Gobin, early in the day, drove
through the district which will -be the
scene of the military's operations tomor
row, and after his conference with the
mine superintendents he completed his
plan of action. At 6 o'clock tomorrow
morning six battalions of infantry, the
Governor's Troop and Battery C will
leave the camps and march out on the
road leading to the colleries. The troops
will continue on the move during the
time the workmen are going to the mines.
It is General Gobln's intention to have
a portion of the troops proceed to Ma
hanoy City, about three and one-half
miles from here, to suppress any disturb
ances that may occur there. During tho
afternoon Captain Daniel Christian, of
the coal and iron police, and W. H. Rich
ards, superintendent of the Reading Com
pany's colleries at Mahanoy City, called
on General Gobln and asked for troops.
Captain Christian sold the situation at
Mahanoy City differed from that at "this
place in that the foreigners were willing
to return to work, but were intimidated
by the dissatisfied English-speaking em
ployes. Eighty per cent of the foreigners,
Superintendent Richards said, -were in fa
vor of remaining at work. General Gobln
said he could not promise to locate troops
at Mahanoy City, but would endeavor to
have soldiers in the vicinity early to
morrow morning.
Major W. A Miller, brigade Inspector,
was today detailed by General Gobin as
provost marshal, and he established head
quarters In the postoffice building. The
board is composed of over 100 men of the
Eighth Infantry. Guards are located at
all streets corners in the central part of
the town, and, while the soldiers are not
expected to do police duty, they have
been Instructed to keep a sharp lookout
for disturbances. Chief Burgess David
Brown today caused to be posted through
out the town proclamations prohibiting
the assembling of crowds on the streets
and calling on the citizens to preserve
order.

60,000 MEN GOTO WORK
AMALGAMATED IROJf AND STEEL
WORKERS' SCALE SIGNED.
Mills Have Been Idle for Past Three
"Months Ajjreemisat the-ReHlt
of Compromise.
CINCINNATI, Sept -23. A' conference
committee of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron and Steel Workers and of
the manufacturers today signed the wage
scale that will be effective until July, 190L
It is what is known as the yearly scale,
which begins always with July. Owjng
to the unusual fluctuations of the market
the new scale had not been signed when
the mills shut down June 30, and the
conditions have been unfavorable ever
since June, so that the mills have been
idle for almost three months. As soon
as the scale was signed this morning
messages wore, sent in every direction
before the conferees breakfasted ordering
the fires built at once. Some mills will
start tomorrow, and all others as soon
as possible. This decision means employ
ment tomorrow to over 60,000 working
men, who have been Idle since July,
awaiting the adjustment of their wage
scale. Meantime, the wage, conference
committee of tho Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron and Steel Workers has had
five different conferences with the manu
facturers at New Tork. Detroit Indian
apolis and Toungstown, 'as well aB here.
They have been In conference here since
Wednesday and determined last night to
sit until they got what they wanted, yet
both sides felt relieved when the scale
was signed after an all-night session,
and most of the conferees left without
sleep, so as to be at the mlllB Monday
morning. President Schafer, Secretary
Williams and others remained to arrange
some details with Commissioner Nutt
and they retired about 8 o'clock this
morning, but the others did their sleep
ing on the trains en route home for the
.general resumption tomorrow.
Tho reasons for the delay In 'adjusting
the wage scale, as well as for tho fre
quent prolonged conferences are due to
the slump in the market and the fluctu
ations during the past year from the
'highest to the lowest prices. The work
ers wanted $5 per ton, based on a one
and four-tenths card rate. The manufac
turers offered $4 50 per ton on a 1-cent
'card rate for boiling, and the differences
were in about the some proportions in
other lines. President Schafer and Com
missioner Nutt jointly gave "out the. fol
lowing official statement today; i
"The rate for boiling Is ?4 75 per ton,
based upon a 1-cent card rate, with the
same basis running up 'to one and two
tenths for the cord rate, or Jl 20. But the
price for boiling for September and Octo
ber shall be $5 per ton, based on a card
rate of one and four-tenths cents. Roll
ing shall be one-seventh of tho price paid
for boiling.
"Bushellng on sand bottom shall "be
$2 09, on a 1-cent card rate, with the
same base running up to one and two
tenths card rate."
The following scale was fixed for finish
ing mills:
On bar mills the price to be paid Is the
same as last year, with a card rate of
one and four-tenths cents graded down
to 1-cent card.
On guide (10-lnch and hoop mills) the
base and rates apply as they do on .the
bar and the 12-Inch mills.
Among the mlll3 ordered started are
those of the American Steel Hoop Com
pany at GIrard, Youngstown, Warren,
Pomeroy and Greenville, and of the Re
public Iron & Steel Company at Toungs
town, Ironton, Terre Haute, Birmingham,

MANY KILLED BY CLOUDBURST.
Italian Sheepherucrs the Victims of
the Storm.
CHICAGO, Sept 23.' A dispatch to the
Times-Herald from Dallas, Tex., says:
A cloudburst In the Neuces River coun
try, 90 miles west of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, resulting in a terrific flood
and much loss of life. Is reported to
night. Meager details have been re
ceived, but it is claimed thdt from 30 to
40 Italians employed on the sheep ranches
were drowned, and all tho ranches
swamped. Many flocks of sheep have
been lost and a large amount of prop
erty destroyed.
From the most reliable Information ob
tainable tonight extensive storm dam
ages have been Inflicted on the Upper
Colorado and the Concho River1 Valleys,
particularly at and near Brownwood,
Blanket and San Angelo. Wire commu
nication with all these places Is cut
off and the railroad lines damaged so
that no -trains con reach them. " '
Reports Indicate that the heaviest dam
age Is at jan Angelo, although bridges In
Brownwood have been wrecked or in
jured. It is also feared many lives have
been lost. The last telegram from
Brownwood, sent out about 1 A. M.,
Stated that the town was flooded and en
tirely destroyed by water, and that the
people and goods were being removed to
places of safety in rowboats and rafts.
Bulletins from Temple state that the
tracks of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
Railroad are under water to the depth
of 16 feet south of Brownwood, and that
nothing can be heard from places up the
line. The rain is pouring down,7 and
streams are still rising. The country dis
tricts cannot be heard from.
It Is raining hard for approximately 100
miles In all directions from Brownwood,
and as the' streams in that part of Texas
are now very treacherous in the matter
of sudden rises, a disaster is feared.

if the Boxers still continue to assemble
they will be dealt with summarily.
Another report 3ays that the edict
frankly declares that no executions can
bo sanctioned until .an adequate inquiry
has been made.
Further Indications that Prince Tuan
has resumed 'his former ascendancy ate
found in the Shanghai reports of his
promotion and In the statement from the
same quarter that General Tung Fu Slang
had been appointed" Generalissimo of the
Northern Chinese Arinlqs, and that Prince
Chang, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the
Boxers, has been made a Grand Council

Governor of Klang Su Province, a Man-
chu, and bitterly anti-foreign, has been'
appointed to succeed LI Hung Chang at
Canton.
According to various accounts of the
Pelt Sang affair, the Chinese had antici
pated that the allies would, attack in
force. The British and, others who left
Tien.Tsln with the intention of -cutting
off the retreat of the Pelt Sang garrison
arrived too late.' They were only half
way to their destination when the, forts
were captured,
" The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard explains that the Russians re
fused to provide" transportation for the
force, but gave the Germans and Aus
trlans ample notice and railway accom
modations. Advicei to the Standard from 'Shanghai
place the lossesof the allies :i Pell Sang
at 300, principally due to the explosion of
mines, one of which, 200 yards long, ex
ploded like an earthquake, killing and
wounding large" numbers," and 'literally
blowing two mounted offloers-to pieces.
The Standard publishes 'a belated tele-
gram from Tien Tsin, giving an illustra
tion of the international . difficulties. It
appears that the British at. Feng Tai
guaranteed safety to the natives 'If the
railroad property, were restored. Accord
ingly the men returned, but a few days
later the Russians ,arrlved and. killed
them all just outside the British lines.
Dr. Morrison, the Pekln correspondent
of the Times, wiring September 14. pro
tests against what he calls "an unworthy
act of vandalism on the part of General
Wllson'p expedition," namely, tho at
tempt to destroy the superb white pagoda
in the temple grounds at Pel Tai Chu.
Fortunately, says the correspondent, the
masonry was too solid. Dr. Morrison
adds:
"It is expected that the orders sent to
M. Plchon (the French Minister) to with
draw will be countermanded. Communi
cations are still deplorably bad. Many
telegrams are -never ent at all, some
being destroyed after thev have been ac
cepted. General Yung Lu Is returning
here to assist In the peace -negotiations,
although tho foreign Ministers have pro
tested against his participation."
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Times confirms the statement that the
foreign Ministers in Pekin'are protesting
against the appointment of Boxer leaders
to high positions.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 23. The three

There has been a general 'relaxation of

moreover, passed without any develop

Now the notes are acted upon, the
question of the commission to negotiate
peace is again revived. Among others

cago tomorrow eveningon his return trip,
reaching Lincoln early Tuesday morning.
In reply to a question as to his hurried
visit Mr. Bryan said it was to, confer
with Chairman Jones and other mem
bers of the National committee 'concern
ing, the campaign, especially with refer
i erte'e to his future-movements. It Is quite
probable that some .changes In his Itin
erary will result from the conference.
The next campaigning tgur will begin
on Wednesday of this week, and when It
Is once begun Mr. Bryan's tour will be so
altered that there will be little or no
exchange of views be'tween him and the
memhorsof the executive committee. The
flr.st speech of ,Mr. Bryan's long series
will be madeat Nebraska City Wednes
day nighty and the 'next "day will be
given up to speeches in the "eastern port
of this state. The onty formal, announce
ments are fot Papllion. in' the morning
and Blair in the afternoon.
. Mr. Bryan will prbbaBly go to Sioux
City Thursday n"ght, but, if not he will
reach there early Friday morning. There
ho will get tho Bpeclal car which the
committee ha$ reserved for .hlpi for the
remainder of tho campaign. The first
day. In 'this car will be given up to South
Dakota and the next to North Dakota.
As many points as possible will be '-visited
in the time allotted to the two states.
He will enter Minnesota. Saturday night
and will make an effort to reach Duluth
In time tp( Bpend Sunday 'there. In any
event,' a speech will be made In the city
early 'Monday morning, and later In the
day speeches will be made at St. Paul
and Minneapolis. The 'remaining-time be
tween Monday"' and Thursday will , be
given to Minnesota, Wisconsin and In
diana. On Thursday Mr. Bryan will be
present at the National meeting of the
club representatives In Indianapolis, and
It Is probable that very, soon after that
date he will turn his face eastward, vis
iting West Virginia: -"-Maryland, Dela
ware, New Jersey ad New York and
possibly other' states.
There Ip cpnslderable Interest In the
speech which he is to make in Nebraska
City oh Wednesday. The speech will be
devoted to the further exposition of his
views upon the trustsk .and It .will have
also a local significance. There Is no
concealment of the fact that the speech
is to be made in that city 'because It is
tho home of a branch of tho starch com-
"bine. This institution has-been attacked
ut u. sun jjrgugnt Dy tne, .uorney uen
eral of the state. This renders the sit
uation somewhat acute, and some of Mr.
Bryan's friends have advised him not to
participate in any way. In, tho matter
He has decided, however, that the better,
plan Is to explain his position frankly to
the people who are most affected by the
proceeding. Tho placo is also the homo

RAWLINS, Wyo., Sept. 2 After a
week of great exertion In speaking and
traveling, Governor Roosevelt resolved to
spend a quiet Sunday and a day of rest.
At the conclusion of tho meeting at Rock
Springs last night the special train pulled
out on what Is called O'Neill's Spur,
where It remained the remainder of the
night and during the day. remote from
town or . city. The train rested near
Daly's ranch, and the( party, numbering
about 30 pr more, we're entertained at
the ranch with a game dinner. During
the day horses were provided, and about
25 of the party, Including the Governor,

So far the Governor's voice Is holding
out welli and his health and strength
seem to be Improving rather than other
wise. Unless-he meets wih some unfore
seen mishap, such as a sudden cold or
sickness, he will be able to complete the
entire trip, notwithstanding the enor
mous te3t,of endurance, without missing
an .appointment to "speak,. During this

than 225 speeches.
HANNA CORRECTS 'REPORTS.
Asks Bryqn to Defend Democratic
Policy as to Trnstft.
CLEVELAND. Sept. 23.-7Senator Hanna
left fdr New York this Ovenlng. He will
remain at Republican headquarters there
for two .weoks, and .will then return to
Chicago. In an Interview today he said:
"The npoech I made at Chicago on the
so-called trust issuo was misquoted and
garbled. What I said was .that there
were no trusts In the meaning of the law.
When I said that I did not.say, that there
are no combinations of capital, nor did
I say that there are no combinations that
work injustice to the people., .This so
called trust Issue 1b nothing more than a
bugaboo of Mr. Bryan's to .catch votes.
What anti-trust' laws have been enacted
have been enacted by the Republicans.
On the so-called -trust issue Mr. Bryan Is
on the defensive. He should tell "why the
Democratic, party has never supported nor
proposed any legislation to .regulate the
commercial combinations of the country.
Mr. Bryan cannot defend the Democratic
party on that 'Issue, and It-with, the is
sue of imperialism, will soon be relegated
to the rear. The money "qestfon will soon
be the paramount Issue. Mr.'Bryan will
have to meet that issue, too." -
Senator Hanna said he had not decided
to go on tho stump in the 'East, but he
would do so if .he thought best. He de-.
clared, furthermore, that he had issued no.
challenge to Mr. Bryan for a Joint debate;,
nor hod Jio challenged .anybodv. else to
debate." "However, ' he said he was not
afraid to meet anybody on the Issues of
the campaign.

, Hardships of Gold Mining; in British
Galnna.
NEW YORK, Sept 23.T-George H. MouJ
ton of Colorado. United States Consul
to Demarara, In British Gulftna, has ar
rived In New York, being on leave of
absence. In discussing affairs In British
Guiana Mr. Moulton said:
"The rush lo the gold fields of British
Guiana and Venezuela, which was ex
pected to follow the settlement of the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, failed to
materialize. The new boundary fixed
by the arbitration court Is quietly accept
ed by the people of Venezuela, and no
further dispute Is likely to arise. Gold
mining is still being prosecuted In tho
British Guiana gold fields, and a few
Americans are there, trying to make
their fortunes. The yield of those gold
fields Is about $2,000,000 a year. All the
gold obtained is secured by placer mining.
"Mining In British Guiana Is attended
by. the greatest difficulties and hardships,
and there Is also some danger to life. The
gold fields are all' at some distance In the
interior. To roach them the miners have
to travel through swamp lands and dense
brush, which are infested by alligators,
enormous reptiles and wild beasts. Every
thing the miners carry along has to be
packed by men. British Guiana is no
place for American miners. They can do
bettor in Colorado or Montana."
