principal Demonstration Is - Held
at Wilkeafcarre An Hour Ta Re
quired for the Procession to
Pass a Given Point.
WILKESBARRE,. Pa., Oct 29. "Mitch
ell day" was celebrated In all 'the princi
pal towns of the anthracite coal region
today, and In order that all the mine
workers might have an opportunity to
participate in the exercises,' the mines
were closed. The principal' --demonstration
was held in this city, and President
Mitchell took part. There was snow and
sunshine during the day, but the change
able weather did not iceep art army of
strangers out of town. Everybody wore
a John Mitchell badge.
The procession, started shortly before
noon, and was nearly one hour in .passing
a given point. It is estimated that there
were 10.000 men in line. The parade was
headed by a platoon of police. Then came
the chief marshal. National Organizer
John Fallon, who was Tollowed by car
riages containing the principal officers of
the United Mlneworkers organization and
invited guests. President Mitchell was
given an ovation ajl along the line of
march, and whenever his carriage stopped
the crowds from the sidewalks pressed
around and Insisted on shaking his hand.
An American flag was carried at the head
of every union, and brass bands by the
score furnished music The banners car
ried bore many inscriptions. Some of
them read as follows:
"By arbitration we hope to gain our Just
demands." "Unity and friendship make
peace." "God bless our country and our
Nation." "We honor and respect our
presidents, Roosevelt and Mitchell."
After the parade, a big mass meeting
was held at T. M. C. A. Park; The first
speaker was Rev. J. F. Powers, of Spring
Valley, 111. He said he had known John
Mitchell since boyhood, and had always
found him noble and upright. He was de
lighted, he said, to see the great tribute
paid him by the hard-coal miners.
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. Professor
"Weil Is assisting Mr. Mitchell In prepar
ing his case for presentation, as Is also

MORE FANATICS ARRIVE

Proves to Be One of Peace.
WINNIPEG. Oct. 29. Another contin

day. The women and children were taken
in charge by the government officials and
red. The men continued their march,
looking for new converts to their re
ligion. Although there were 1SC0 Doukhbors In
Torkton today, no disturbance of any
kind Is reported. 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. Yorkton
appears to have been the objective point
of the march, and the people are hopeful
that the movement will subside.

bors, who are said to be creating disturb
ances in Manitoba, were Induced to leave

among the Doukhbors, and was the per
sonal representative of the men who made
possible the emigration of the Russian
sect. Mr. Elkinton says he has agents in
each of the- 58 Doukhbor villages In Can
ada, but has not as yet received informa
tion from them of marching and alleged
rioting.
"That 000 of them are on the march,
propagating strange doctrines," said Mr.
Elkinton, "I cannot believe. I think the
whole matter has been exaggerated."
Mr. Elkinton said he had visited 54 of
the 58 villages. Crime, he asserted, is
practically unknown among th6 people.
Honesty, morality and truthfulness, he de
clared to be their chief characteristics.

NEW TARIFFS BY CHINA
AGREEMENT WITH .i. 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.

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

York City:
"Your Peruna is a valuable tonic. When
I get run down, wenk and languid, or rest
less at night. I take a bottle of Peruna.
I know no family medicine like It. I notice
tho effects of it almost Immediately. ' It

Peruna is not a sleep medicine. Peruna
Is not a nervine. Peruna Is not a narcotic.
Peruna does not stupefy. Does not bring
about artificial rest. Peruna helps weak
nerves. Builds up broken-down constitu

ducing atupefactlon, but by invigorating
the nerve centers.
Peruna produces a natural appetite. It
strengthens the digestive power. It fills
the lacteals full of nutrition and sends
surging through the blood ve3sel3 the re

all this by producing-healthy mucous mem

somewhat bad taste. Dr. Wenderoff read

KRUGER GRILLS ENGLISH
Caustic Words for Chamberlain,
Milner and Rhodes.
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

CATARRH RUINED HIS HEALTH AND
DESTROYED HIS HEAfliNG. THE
COPELAND PHYSICIANS CURED HIM
Mr. II. D. 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,

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. I consulted
an oculist, who prescribed glasses, stat
ing the troublo was brought on by ca
tarrh. My Enrs Were Bndly'AlTcctcd.
"Before my treatment at the Copeland
Institute I suffered terribly with an abscess-In
the right ear. There was a con
stant ringing and buzzing In the ears, and
the hearing was greatly lmpnlred. I

asthough I had a severe cold. I could
not near my watch tick unless held close
to my ears. All ordinary sounds were
muffled and Indistinct..
"My stomach was Involved, and I was
unablo to relish or digest food. I suf
fered greatly with sour stomach, gas and
Distress In Stomnch.
I lost greatly In weight, and was so
weak nd nervous that it was Impossible
to tend to business.
"This was my condition when, upon the
advice of friends, I consulted the Cope
land physicians. After a careful exami
nation the doctor said he could cure me.
I had been disappointed so often that I
did not have much faith, but decided to
give the treatment a trial. I

the Jameson raid, when the republic was
practically defenceless, he became con
vinced of the necessity of preparing for
war and gradually accumulated war ma
terials. 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.
The author of the memoirs asserts that
the signatures to the petitions of British
subjects In the Transvaal against the so
called grievances were obtained by the
greatest fraud, and describes how the
franchises are made the question at Issue
until, writes Mr. Kruger, "In spite of all
concessions, all patlenco and the indul
gence of the republic, war broke out."
