Thomas Haggerty, of Reynoldsville, Pa., who was down on the programme as the principal speaker of "the day, eulo gized Mitchell for his great work In be half of the miners. Several addresses lri foreign languages then followed. Presi dent Mitchell was the last speaker. He said in part: "Language Is Inadequate to express the gratitude I feel for the great reception I have received at the hands of the anthra cite miners, and I feel that the victory Is not due to myself, but the men, women .and children who made such great sacri fices. I hope that there will never again be a strike In the coal fields of Pennsyl vania. I want the union miners to prove tha they are better workmen than the nonunion men. I desire the men and the operators to meet; I do not want to make enemies of the operators. "In closing, I wish to Impress upon you that membership In the union is the only safeguard against strikes. The operators are not going to pay the bill of the strike. They will make the workers pay it if they can, but if not, they will make the public pay it. It behooves the mlneworkers, therefore, to -see to it that they are .not made the victims, and I hope you will be true to yourselves and to one another, and see to It that the cost of this greatest labor struggle that has ever occurred is not rlaced on your backs. Stick by your union, and the union will stick by you." President Mitchell was busy tonight completing his plans for the first meet ing of the arbitration board at its meet ing in Scranton tomorrow.

It has developed be- .yond question that their immediate errand to peaceful, being the conversion of York ton to their vegetarian and humanitarian ideas. An investigation by the authori ties shows that the majority of the trav elers are scantily clad, and not a few are barefooted. The hardships suffered on the march .were fearful. More than half of the en tiro band were women and children. Sev eral babes were born, and the exposure was especially trying on them.

AMERICA IN ..EFFECT TODAY& i A Xnmbcr of Concessions Are Made Rates No Longer Under tlie Ad Valorem System. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Consul-General John Goodcom, stationed at Shanghai, has forwarded to the State Department a copy of the new tariff schedules adopted by China, together with a copy of the agree ment entered Into between T. S. Sharretts, special commissioner of the United States, who was sent to China by this Govern ment for the purpora of arranging the Igtarlff, and the commissioners appointed to superintend the work in behalf of the Chi nese Empire.' The new schedule shows the effect of the agreement which had been previously arrived at to make all rales on Imports into China specific rather than ad valorem, nine-tenths or more of the arti cles being thus listed. Heretofore, the ad valorem system had been In use, the result being that many frauds have been perpetrated, and the revenues reduced to a point far below the needs of the Chinese Government. The effort under the old sya tm was to levy a tariff -amounting to 5 per cent on the value of all goods import ed, but the percentage was calculated on a silver basis. Under the new arrange ment, the' calculation is made on a gold basis. The specific duties provided are In tended to be on the 5 per cent rate. The rate Is not changed, but the adoption of the gold basis will have the effect of an In crease. The new tariff is to go into effect October 31, "the first day of the tenth Chi nese moon." There Is a special undcr stapding that in case of a difference In meaning between the English and Chinese, the English version is to be iccepted as correct. Under the terms of the agreement nego tiated by Mr. Sharretts, flour, which Is one of the principal Chinese Imports frorh the United States, Is to be admitted free of duty. This concession Is also made cn all cereals, Including barley, maize, oats, paddy, rice, wheat and flour made there from: also buckwheat afid buckwheat flour, corn flour and yellow corn meal, rye flour and hovly flour, but It does not In clude arrow-root and arrow-root flour, cracked wheat, germca, hominy, pearl bar ley, potato flour, Quaker oats, rolled oats, sago and sago flour, shredded wheat, tapio ca and tapioca flour and yam flour. The rate on kerosene In bulk per case of 10 gallons Is one-twenty-ninth of a tael. (Flour has always been admitted to Chi na free of Import duty, since it has been admitted at all. so the new treaty will make no change In that commodity. The "concession" spoken of probably has ref erence to the atte'mpt to Impose a duty on flour as a means "to raise money for the Boxer War indemnity. Strenuous objec tion to that proposal was made by the United States, and the framers of the new tariff schedule seem" to have "cpneeded" that point. But the liken tax, or tribute levied by the yarlous provincial Governors and other functionaries of the interior, which flour and other commodities have been obliged to pay to get to interior mar kets, and which was expected to be abol ished, or at least brought to a systematic basis under the new arrangement, is not mentioned. If that Is abolished it means a material advance In the flour trade with China. But the language of the dispatch does not appear to refer to anything but Import dues.) CHINA FOR ARBITRATION. Minister Wn "Wants Hague Tribunal to Decide Indemnity Payments. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Minister Wu is hopeful that China will bo the power to submit the second case for the arbitration of The Hague tribunal. He is working hard to induce the powers, parties to tlft treaty of Pekin, to consent to nrbltrate tho important question as to "whether the indemnities to be paid them shall be paid on a gold or a silver basis. It is said that the insistence of the powers upon the settlement on a gold basis would mean tlje ruin of the Chinese Empire, which Is totally unable to pay the vast sum of nearly 450,000,000 taels In gold. The question was pending when the flrat installment of the Indemnity be came due last July. A decision was staved- off by the first payment in sliver, the United Stales reserving the right to demand any balance of the Installment that might he due If It should ultlmatelv be held that the settlement should bo made on a gold basis. Mr. Wu has appealed to tho United States for help In influencing the other powers to submil the question to The Hague tribunal, and Secretary Hay has consented to accept the proposition on be half of the United States, -If the other powers can be brought Into line. FRENCn MIXERS RESTLESS. Committee Calls on Premier to Learn Progress of Arbitration. f PARIS, Oct. 2& The National Commit tee of the Miners' Federation, accompan-, led by a number of Socialist deputies, called on Premier Combes today, to re quest Information on the progress of tho negotiations with the coal companies looking to arbitration of the matters in dispute between them a.nd their, employ ers. -The Premier expressed the hope of being ahle to secure arbitration, but the committee, made restless by the eelay, notified1 him thai It Intended to Inter pellate the government on the subject in the Chamber of Deputies tomorrow. This Is expected to elicit an official statement on the status of the negotiations, as the replies of all the companies will hava been secured tomorrow. The committee later sent Premier Combes a formal letter, notifying him of the proposed Interpellation in the Cham ber tomorrow. It Is said that the committee has learned that the mine owners have not agreed to treat with the striking miners or respond to the government's offer of arbitration. The purpose of tho Interpellation tomor row Is to establish before the country the responsibility for the continuation of the conflict. If Premier Combes' rrsponse in tlfe Chamber is not satisfactory, the So cialist deputies will propose a resolution calling for a preliminary investigation of the strike. In the meantime reports re ceived here from the mining districts show that the miners are becoming dis couraged "and returning to work. The Roanne cotton spinners arc also returning to work. Operators Object to Arbitration. ARRAS, Pas do Calais, France, Oct. 29. At a meeting here today of representa tives of 15 coalmining companies operat ing in the Pas de Calais district, It was decided to -write to the prefect of the department that the companies agreed to meet delegates of the striking miners next Friday, but that the companies ob jected to arbitration as premature, and that it would Indicate a lack of confidence In the success of the conference between the owners and the miners, and because it might prevent the parties concerned from coming to an immediate and defin ite settlement.

LONDON, Oct. 30. It Is understood that the "Kruger Memoirs," of which a first fn3tallment of extracts has already been published In the Times, give a. narrative' of the diplomatic Aspects of the Boer War and -advise the Boers as to- the best policy to be pursued after Mr. Kruger's death. Sir. Kruger closes his memoirs wlthi these words: "I am convinced that God will not for sake his people, even although tna.t It appears so, and I acquiesce In the will of the Lord, knowing he will not allow an nfHIcted people to perish. The Lord hath all heartii In his hands and he turneth them whlther.Toever he will." This aspiration is a clue to the contents of the whole book. The Installment of the memoirs pub lished by the Times this morning contains some Interesting light concerning Mr. Krugcr'ti opinion of various men promi nent In. South African history. Mr. Kruger describes the "Jcfiuiticaf Cecil Rhodes," as the curse of South Africa. He says: "No matter how base or contemptible, be It lying, bribery or treachery, all and every means were welcome to him." Lord Milner he describes as "a typical autocrat, beyond endurance." -Mr. Kruger declares that Colonial Sec retory. Chamberlain was undoubtedly the late Cecil Rhodes' "accomplice In the Jameson raid, and that Mr. Chamberlain appointed Lord Milner British High Com m.'ssIoncr of South Africa with the direct Intention of driving matters to extremes. "Thl tool of Mr. Chamberlain,'" says Mr. Kruger, "carried out his mission faith fully, and turned South Africa Into a wilderness." British" policy In general the ex-prcsident of the Transvaal sums up In the following sentences: "Lies, treachery, intriguer and secret In stigations against the governments of the republics; these have always been the distinguishing marks of English policies. "' Mr.. Kruger declares that the Transvaal National Union was under Cecil RhodciV "paramount Influence from its very In ception," and describes It as having from the very outset used the demand for the franchise as a cloak for designs against the republic. He describes how, after J THE COPELAND .PRACTICE TESTED BY YEARS AND PROVEN BY ENDURANCE It Is by the Natural Law of Things That the Copeland Practice Survives All Other Methods That Which Is Best, That Which Is of Greatest Service to Mankind, Abides Always. FOR TEN YEARS Doctors Copeland and Montgomery have conducted in this city the largest practice ever known in the history of the Northwest. The people know them. Their fame has grown in the strong fight of intimacy and permanency. Medical pretenders and bogus healers of every variety have come and gone; passed in the night, unable to endure the daytime of acquaintance. But with time and intimacy the fame of Doctors Copeland and Montgomery Has grown stronger. Thousands of cures, recorded in voluntary, unsolicited testimonials from your neighbors nd friends, give evidence of the marvelous accomplishments of our combination of science apd skill.

Rohdc, one of the pro prietors of the Nonpareil Fruit & Produce Company, Missoula, Mont. Mr. Rohdc Is a well-known business man, with an established reputation for truth and ver acity, and his experience with the Cope land physicians will be read with Interest by a host of friends and acquaintances. In speaking of his trouble and treatment he said: "When I consulted the Copeland physi cians my health seemed totally ruined by catarrh, from which I had suffered for five years. My constitution was so broken down that I was compelled to dispose of a lucrative business. Seemingly, Doctors Conlci Do Kothlngr for me, and my only hope seemed a change of climate, and for two yearn I traveled continually, but Instead of the hoped-for Improvement I got worse. "I had dull headaches and great diffi culty In breathing through the nose. The left nostril was almost closed up, and" I Breathed Through thev Mouth. This, together with the hawking and spit ting I was compelled to do to clear the nose of dry, crusty secretions, caused the throat to feel raw and sore. In the morn ing it was dry and parched. I also lost the sense of smell entirely. "The disease seemed to extend all through the head. My Eyes Were "Wealc, with a blurring of the sight.

This was especially the case after the British Parliamentary Inquiry into the matter, which, Mr. Kruger says, showed Mr. Chamberlain's complicity. Mr. Kruger contends that his institutions of reforms In 1S09 probably startled Mr. Chamberlain and Impelled Great Britain to hurry on the crisis fcr fear of losing a pretext for war.
