AN UNWELCOME GUEST
PRINCE CHUN'S FURTHER STAY IN
BERLIN "VVILIi BE SHORT.
Hia Statu Now Is. That of an Ordi
nary Foreign Tourliii The Mis
sion to Japan.
BERLIN, Sept. 5. Prince Chun and his
suite arrived here today; from Potsdam
and were conducted by General von
Hoepfner to apartments in the Thier Gar
ten. Tiie envoys were accorded no re
ception except by members of the Chinese
Iscgatlon.
Prince Chun and the new Chinese Min
ister. Kien Chang, were formally pre
sented to the Empress today. This ends
all official recognition of Prince Chun's
presence in Berlin. Hereafter he will be
merely a distinguished tourist.
Tbe German newspapers are, by desire
of the Government, it Is understood, pay
ing scant attention to the presence of the
Chinese mission In Germany. Most of
the papers discuss yesterday's audience
w.th a perfunctory paragraph. Prince
Chun's further stay here probably will be
brief.
China's Clever riay.
PEKIN. Sept 5. Li Hung Chang to
night notified the Foreign Ministers that
the imperial edict providing for the sign
ing of the peace protocol had arrived.
This announcement, made Immediately
after the settlement of the difficulties
which Prince Chun expressed before going
to Berlin, confirms the impression here
that the Chinese used the protocol to In
duce Emperor "William to waive the "kow
tow" ceremony.
The Mission to Japan.
TOKIO, Sept. 5. Japanese officials met
the Chinese mission of expiation for the
murder of Suglyama Akira (Chancellor of
the Japanese Legation, in Pekin prior to
the "Boxer" uprising) on its arrival here
today. The members of the mission hunt
ed up a hotel, where they established
themselves.
DECLINED TO INTERVENE.
Emperor William Advised Turkey to
Settle "With France.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 3. The Ger
man Ambassador Monday communicated
to the Porte the Kaiser's declination to in
tervene, advising Turkey to come to an
understanding with France.
It appears that M. Delcasse's letter re
quiring Munir Bey to leave the country
ex-pressed astonishment that Munir should
illuminate the embassy and give a ban
quet on the anniversary of the Sultan's
accession, in view of the rupture in rela
tions between France and Turkey.

land Turkish troops on the territory of a
Sheik who Is Independent of Turkey.
Powers Approve of France's Course.
LONDON, Sept a. A dispatch to the
Times from Vienna says the French Gov
ernment's course in the dispute with Tur
key meets with the approval of a ma
jority of the powers, and also of public
opinion in Europe. The dispatch adds
that the Sultan's overweening infatuation
Sates from the Pan-Islamic agitation fol
lowing the Armenian massacres five years
ago. He then Impressed upon his Moslem
subjects that the powers were afraid to
Interfere. Pan-Islamism was further en
couraged by the visit of Emperor 'Will
iam to Constantinople. The idea of a
Moslem mission to China profoundly Im
pressed Mohammedans. The Sultan Is
said to b,e dominated by an absorbing
idea of Pan-Islamism. Powers having Mo
hammedan subjects are pleased with the
vigorous course France has taken. They
believe that the rupture of diplomatic re
lations between France and Turkey will
serve as a warning.
Konand Has a. Grievance.
LONDON, Sept 6. "Holland demands
satisfaction," says the Constantinople
correspondent of the Daily Mail, "for the
violation of the Dutch Legation here by

FIRE RAVAGES IN RUSSIA.
Peasants Are Incnpable of Resisting
the Flames.
ST PETERSBURG, Aug. 20. Before
the rains a few days ago St Petersburg
was enveloped in smoke from burning
peat beds, and the newspapers still re
port fires in all parts of Russia. Vil
lages and towns, forests and peat beds,
lumber yards land factories have been
burning for six weeks. The peasants,
who are the principal sufferers, are ut
terly Incapable of resisting the flames
that Is. Intellectually and morally Incapa
ble They, continue building their vil
lages In the same fashion, with their
wooden thatched huts close together, and
it is usually only when a forest or peat
fire begins to threaten a village that any
effort Is made to extinguish It The fire
ravages have been unsually large this
vear. They are occasioning considerable
comment In the newspapers. Prince Mes--fherskv.
in the Grajdanln, says that in
the matter of rural architecture and pro
tection against fire Russia has made no
progress since Rurlk.
"Much Is said of the burden of taxa
tion," continues the writer, "yet the di
rect and indirect taxes are nothing com
pared to the damages sustained yearly
from fires. During the last century Rus
sia lost through fires at least 20.000.000,000
rubles. And so Russia burns on at an
expense of 200,000 rubles a year. Poor
Russia! The roads have not become one
whit better since Rurlk, and the villages
are as mean as 1000 years ago. "With good
country roads Russia would be 500,000 ru
bles richer every year."
The Russian press is displaying lively
interest In the Venezuelan-Colomban
squabble, although it cannot be asserted
that all the newspapers approach the sub
ject intelligently. The Exchange Ga
zette, which probably has the largest cir
culation of any Russian newspaper, yes
terday remarked that the United States
is preparing to "extend" the Monroe Doc
trine to South America, vand that Eng
land on account of her South African en
gagement, is unable to-resist this expan
sive tendency.
A writer In the Novoe Vremya considers
the policy of the United States is to ac
quire a protectorate over England.
America Is deeply Interested in the devel
opment and the commerce of the British
colonies, and will therefore never consent
to the dismemberment of the British Em
pire. This writer does not attempt to say
when the protectorate will be an actual
ity but Is sure It Is coming.
It is stated that a polar expedition, to
be financed by a titled personage, is being
prepared here. It will be absent four
years.

KING EDWARD'S HEALTH.
His Throat LIUely to Give Him Much
Trouble.
NEW YORK Sept .5. Discussing the
state of the health of the King of Eng
land the London correspondent of the
Tribune says: ' .
'Disturbing rumors about the ivings
weeks, but it has not been possible to
separate the wheat from the chaff. The
most trustworthy account received from
those In touch with the court leaves little
ground for doubt that the King has been
nervous about the condition of his throat
and suspicious that his sister's fate might
be in store for him. Specialists have ex
amined his throat while he has been at
Homburg, and they have confirmed the
previous diagnosis that there is no evi
dence of cancer. There is, however, some
disease of the throat, which requires con
stant watching and treatment. ,
"My Informants state that the King
has been warned against any mental ex
citement, and that his medical advisers
objected strongly to his going to his sis
ter's deathbed, on the ground that emo
tion and Intensity of,hiH grief would be
dangerous. There la a court theory that
while the King's throat Is not now in a
cancerius state. It may become so under
the influence of mental depression and
excitement. This foreboding reflects the
pessimism pervading England in all mat
ters. No alarmist at the court suggests
that the coronation will be interrupted by
a decline in the King's health."
THE ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE.
Declined to Hear Messages From
Archbishop and Bishop.
LONDON. Sept 5. The Ecumenical
aiethodist Conference today unanimously
declined to hear the secretary read tho

Boer Soldiers Better Mounted.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5. Had the Brit
ish been astride of horses as serviceable
as those which the Boers rode, there
would have been a different tale to tell
in South Africa, according to a report
made by Mr. Curren, the Under Secretary
for Agriculture in British South Africa,
which Consul-General Stowe has trans
mitted to the State Department. The
South African horse, it is stated, can live
on much less food than his English
brother, he does not topple into holes,
he is sounder. more sensible, will stand
without being hitched and Is altogether
better fitted for the purposes of warfare.

from Marekasb (City of Morocco), and

surance to the tribes that they need fear
no punishment till next Summer."

ing. The massacre of the little party oc
curred some six or seven months ago,
particulars of the cruel manner In which
they were killed being published soon
after. The Cormorant, when sent to in

position. Her crew was compelled to fight
a pitched battle, and the result was most
disastrous, tho natives sustaining a loss

nolo Deonle. Dr. McDonald, president of
the club, had just finished presenting the-
prizes to the winners of the events ana
was about to present the cup to the Weet
abalah team, when the balcony began
to sway. Cries arose from the ladles, the
flooring seemed to give way also and
the rafters and roofing came down. Amidst
the screams of the women vigorous efforts
were made to extricate the people, but it
took several minutes to get the timber
and iron out of the way. Many people
had been seriously Injured. The balcony
fell with a report like a cannon. The Im

Amnesty for Deroulede.
NEW YORK, Sept 5. The Paris corre
spondent of the Times says that the Na
tionalists persist in agitating for amnesty
for Deroulede and his fellow-exiles,
though, as Parliament is not sitting, only
nard'on could be granted which would
not cancel the exiles' civil disabilities, but
merely allow them to return to France.
Paul de Cassignac blames M. Derou
lede for his willingness to accept half a
loaf, lacking an entire one. The National
ist journals insist that President Loubet
favors granting the amnesties, and that
the question will be discussed by the Cab
inet M. Waldeck-Rousseau is represented
as the sole opponent of the measure.
There Is reason.to believe, however, that
M. Loubet has not suggested the pardons.

taught. Touching up the recent war with
Spain, the Vice-President said:
"The lesson taught by the great war
could only be Imperfectly taught by any
lesser war. Nevertheless, not a little good
has been done by this struggle, as it
ended m procuring independence for Cuba
and giving to the Philippines a freedom
to which they could not have attained
had we permitted them to fall in anarchy
or under tyranny. It was a pleasant
thing to see the; way In which men came
forward from every walk of life, from
every section of the country, as soon as
the call to arms occurred. The need was
small and easily met, and not one in a
hundred of the- ardent young fellows who
pressed forward to enter the Army hfrd a
chance to see any service whatever. But
it was good to see the spirit of '61 had
not been lost"

British Comment on the Speech.
LONDON, Sept 6. President McKin
ley's speech at the Pan-American Expo
sition at Buffalo yesterday is the theme
of much comment in the London papers
this morning.
"It will excite throughout Europe," says
the Standard, "as keen interest as it
will arouse In the Western Continent. It
Is the utterance of a man who feels that
he is at the head of a great nation with
vast ambitions and a new-born conscious
ness of strength. America has become an
imperial power. Her national life Is no
longer self-contained and Introspective.
Heedless of scoffers at 'spread-eagleism,'
the United States will go on their way
regardless of attempted commissions such
as Count Golouchowsky has sketched, and
with a certain carelessness whether or
not thev come into violent conflict with
any European power."
The Morning Pest uses the speech as a
text from which to urge the necessity
resting upon Great Britain to redouble her
efforts to maintain her trade supremacy.
The Daily Chronicle says: "The free
trade tendency of the speech under the
name of reciprocity outweighs in Impor
tance all the president's remarks about
kinship, the canal and the like."

Aside from the mysterious conference
there was little of a startling nature In
the strike In this city.
The steel officials claim a big gain in
the addition of 225 men at the National
Tube Works, at McKeesport, making the
total number at work 625. and accessions
at the Pennsylvania Tube Worka and the
Continental tube plant In this clOy. The
strikers oftset this by claiming that the
Demmler tin mill could not have beeivj
tarted this morning, as officially sched
uled, because of the lack of men.
The only trouble reported from any dis
trict today was that from Canal Dover,
where District Manager Clinei of the
Sheet Steel Company, was knocked down
and narrowly escaped severe treatment
at the hands of a party of strikers during
a heated discussion.
Sheriff McKinley, of Allegheny County,
will not enter into any controversy with
Mayor Black, ot McKeesport, regarding
the sending of deputies to guard the tin
plate plants at Demmler. The Sheriff de
clares that he is only performing his
duty.
George Powell, president of the Tin
Workers' Protective Association, called
on President Shaffer today. He states
that he deplored a recent publication crit
icising President Shaffer's conduct of the
strike, and states that he did not inspire
the article, and. In fact, knew nothing
of the matter until it was published.

The officials of the association are be

word came this evening that it was un

House this afternoon. The conference
was resumed at 5 o'clock, and continued
until 8:30, during which time there was

When the conference adjourned Mr.
Mitchell explained the point reached in
the negotiations to be that the proposi

been acted upon by the Amalgamated As

expressed hope that the strike would yet
be amicably' settled, though he declined
tc indicate how he hoped this would be
brought about Mr. Mitchell, while dis
claiming that he spoke for the commit
tee, and saying that he was merely giv
ing information for the accommodation of
the press, said:
"When all negotiations between the
Amalgamated Association and the United
States Steel Corporation in regard to the
strike were broken off, the committee on
conciliation of the National Civic Fed
eration endeavored to bring the represent
atives of both interests together or to act
as mediators between them. We held two
conferences with the advisory board of
the Amalgamated Association at Pitts
burg, and obtained propositions from it
with authority to submit the same to the
United States Steel Corporation. These
propositions we submitted to the cor
poration at yesterday's (Wednesday's)
conference. The company rejected the
proposition.
"We then discussed the situation at
length with Mr. Schwab, and his col
leagues, and obtained from them the con
ditions 'upon which they would agree to
settle the strike, these terms to hold good
until this (Thursday) evening. We sub
mitted these terms to Mr. Shaffer and his
colleagues. We wero advised by the rep
resentatives of the Amalgamated Associ
ation this afternoon that there was not
sufficient time to consider tne proposi
tion; that the officers at the Pittsburg
headquarters had no authority to accept
or decline it; that the advisory board is
summoned to meet tomorrow. The offi

pressed their conviction to us that the

COMPLAINT OF TEACHERS.
Should Have Known That Commis
sary Prl-vileses Were Discontinued.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 5. The cabled re
port from Manila to the effect that the
newly arrived teachers at; a mass meeting
yesterday decided to cable to the Presi
dent complaining that promised commis
sary privileges were denied them, and that
they found their expenses double what
they were assured they might expect1, at
tracted much attention at the War De
partment. The privilege of purchasing
commissary stores at the Government
warehouses in the Philippines was token
away from all civilian employes by an or
der of the Secretary of War, Issued In
June, and as that order was widely pub
lished, it was presumed that the teachers
who sailed subsequent to its Issuance
were aware of its existence.
The letter and circular Issued by the
War Department, to applicants for these
positions In the Philippines contain no di
rect statement upon the subject of com
missary privileges, but the promise that
they would have these privileges might
have been assumed from statements con
tained in a "manual of Information in
relation to the Philippine civil service,"
which was published In Manila early in
the present ear. and to which attention
was invited by Colonel Edwards, chief of
the division of Insular affairs, In his cir
cular to applicants. This pamphlet, set
ting forth the conditions In the islands
for Americans seeking positions uhere.
contains the following regarding the pur
chase of commissary supplies:
"Many of the Americans secure reoms
with private families and board In messes,
the provisions being purchased from the
commibsary. The average cost for room
and board for those who live In this man
i er is about 135 a month. It is also pro
posed to establish stores similar to the
Army commissary store for the benefit of
Chilian employes. The stores will be
well stocked with provisions and other
necessaries, and civilian employes prob
ably will-be able to purchase from.th.ese
stores at about 10 per cent aboe the east
to the Government."
The pamphlet containing the above
statements was mailed to each of the
teachers appointed, but attention was not
called to the fact! that the privilege ot
buying supplies aj the Government com
missary had been discontinued.
