Secretary Hay Secures Pledges From All Powers NOT TO TAKE TERRITORY He Got Wind of.Partition Scheme and Promptly Blocked It by Binding All to Maintain Integrity of Great Empire. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. Secretary j Hay has secured positive assurances from the powers that there shall be no : attempt made upon the Integrity of! Chinese territory. Recently it was re- I ported that some of the powers con templated extending the territorial possessions they already had In China, at the conclusion of the war, in order j former member, with being In collusion to maintain what they called the bal- with stock brokers. He told how he forced . . . v,t ....,, i Gehr to resign his office because of it. ance of power in the East, asserting j he admltted that he was to that the outcome of the war would be , get for advance information concern a, readjustment of Chinese territorial , inir the close of the strike. He 'also told boundaries. A circular note -was dls- j patched by Secretary Hay to tne pow- ers, based on this Information, with the result that they have now all positive ly disclaimed any such intention. Ih a long cablegram received at the State Department today from the American "Embassy at Paris, the French government reiterates Its position and assurances Jn favor of preservation of China's administrative entity and ter ritorial integrity. This practically completes the answers from all the powers to Secretary Hay's latest note. The American Government was prompted to tako this action by certain reports from its embassies and lega tion abroad that the powers were ex pecting to divide China among them Kelves after the war. The Inquiry of Secretary Hay has checked whatever ncheme there was on foot and the pow ers arc once again down In black and white pledged to assist in the main tenance of China's territorial anil po litical Integrity, all of them having given favorable replies to the Ameri can note. NO CLAIMS AGAINST CHINA. Secretary Hay Has Secured Pledges From All Great Powers. PARIS, Jan. 19. The French gov ernment and other powers have re ceived a communication from the American Government which, if ap proved by the powers, will exert a far reaching effect In preventing the terri torial break-up of China when peace Js eventually made between Russia and Japan. The American Initiative in this direction is distinct from the recent note relative to Russia's protest against China's alleged breach of neu trality. This latter note treats of the continuation of China's neutrality In the pending war, but the other com munication treats of Chinese territory after the war is concluded. This step is based upon information reaching the I'nltcd States Govern ment that some of the powers are ap prehensive that the eventual considera tion of peace between Russia and Japan will load to claims on portions of Chinese territory. The American com munications tend to avert the possi bility of such claims -being made, thus insuring a continuance of the present policies .of the open door and tho terri torial Integrity of the empire. The French. British and Italian gov ernments have approved the American eommunlcatlo.n If other powers ap prove it. it will constitute a notable understanding that the powers will not make claims on Chinese territory when peace is ultimately concluded. BIG GUNS HAVE ARRIVED. Fact Indicated by Increased Range of Japanese Fire. HUANSHAN. Jarf. 19. A considerable increase lias been noticeable in the last few days In the range of the Japanese artillery. This fact affords ground for the belief that pRrt of the heavy guns used in the siege of Port Arthur have been sent north. Chinese conlirm this, and even designate points of probable concentration of Japanese siege guns. It is not be lieved, however, that any 9 or 11-inch guns have arrived and been placed in position. The last three weeks of mild weather have favored the Japanese. The Japanese are utilizing the Slnmintin Railway not only for the forwarding of military supplies, but also to flood the province of Mukden with goods of Jap anese and American origin, which find ready sale, owing to the want of others.

The Russian communication, it Is said, con . slsts of a repetition of the matters of complaint set out In the circular note to the powers, but In this case they are sup ported by argumentative statements.

Revelations About Colorado Strike at Coal Miners Convention. , , T . , ,OT, 10 , ,h IXDIAAPOLIS, Ind.. Jan. lf-In the . ,-ention of the United Mlneworkers or , America. John Mitchell, president, was accused by Delegate Robert Randall, of Wyoming, of having sold out tne Colo rado striking miners to the operators, of having been a traitor to the miners' or ganization and. of having entered into a conspiracy with the mineowners, D. M. Parry and Governor Peabody's peace or ganizations to ruin the Colorado miners and lose to them the recent strike. President Mitchell, replying, gave rea sons why the national miners organiza tion had withdrawn its support from the Colorado strikers. Rnndnll harl said that President Howell. of the distrIct. asked 540.000 for the strike. offping to win or lose it on that amount, Mitchell, referring to this, said: "Let me beplaln on this. How-ell did noi as. lor me money, n c - would not have gotten it. I would not trust him with It." He charged President William H. How ell with Irregularities and Mr. Gehr, a of Howell's leaving Gehr In charge of tne strike for a time last year, and Eaid that In two weeks Gehr drew $33,090 of the organization's money for tho strike. "Howell," declared Mr. Mitchell. "Is not a safe witness against anybody." He told how the first and last money sent to the etrlkers was appropriated by the officers to pay their back salaries. Mr. Mitchell's statement showed a gen erally bad situation. He said that after IG00.000 had been poured Into Colorado the spirit shown by the miners of the state was such that he had recommended the settlement and that national aid be with drawn and he would do so again under the circumstances. He said he was ready to get out. If It was thought bast, and referred to the fact that for six years he had not asked for re-election. Wanted Pay for Striking. Speeches were made bv Vice-Presidents T. D. Willis, Patrick Dolan. of Pittsburg: W. R. Fairly, who was In charge of the strike, and Secretary-treasurer W. B. "Wilson. All went to show that the Colo rado officers and miners even wanted a per diem for remaining out on strike. They received more money than tho an thracite strikers got figured on a per capita basis and there was a demand for enough for the strikers to live on turkey. It was also stated that the miners even had refused to. put up tents sent to them unless they received pay from the national organization for putting them up. The attack of Randall was attributed by friends of President Mitchell to the Socialist'', who had just previously met with their annual defeat in trying to have the miners' organization declare Itself for Socialism. The feeling shown amons: tho delegates was practically unanimous In favor of President Mitchell's position. The Socialist question also camo up today, but the convention again refused to allow the organization to be commit ted to Socialism. The anti-Socialist faction was led by Patrick Dolan. of Pittsburgh John Walker, of Illinois, who has been the floor leader of the So cialists, also took the position that the miners should not engage In politics us an organization. Defends Civic Federation. Mr. Mitchell then took the floor and defended the leaders of the Civic Fed oration. 'Mr. Randall shouted that tho1 leaders -were Grover Cleveland, whom every laboring man detests: Frank Uobblns. of Pittsburg, who has made millions by beating down his miners. und Andrew Carnegie, whose hands are ?ed with the blood of the Homestead strlkerr. Mr. Mitchell showed his an ger and said: I have heard of this nan Randall fcefore. He is a delegate who. In the local union, at Dietz. Vtah, got up and said that John Mitchell had sold out to the operators in the Colorado strike. I had Intended to call him to account In th!i convention for that statement, and 1 do Intend to mak him prove his assertion. Mr. Mitchell was interrupted by cries "He's a liar!" referring to RandalT. Continuing. Mr. Mitchell said: f do not stand here to defend Andrew "urnegie. Frank Rohblns or Grover Clove land. But who in America ever made a rpeech o favorable to organised labor as Andrew Carnegie, who. at that banquet, said that if bis men went out on strike he would shut down his plant and wait for them to come back and would not employ a "scab. It wa? a "business proposition, he said, fori the old men. the strikers, were tho beU It was a favorable statement. As Tor Grover Cleveland. I do not like him. He Is not a l-adiDg light, as charged, in the Federation, lie nevi-r even looked In on that meeting. The leading lights of the Federation if you do not know who they are I can tell you. They are men like Frank L. Bobbin, who mploys only union men, and the leaders of 'he union movement In this country. The West Supports Mitchell. When the convention reconvened, Wil liam Jones, of Dietz. Wyo.. a member of the National executive board, as a mem ber of the local to which Randall be longs, declared that Randall's remarks did not represent the sentiment of his local. He said the miners of the West who would Indorse President Mitchell's policy in calling off the strike in district No. 13 were in the majority by a hand some margin. Mr. Haggarty explained that, as a mem ber of the National board, he had voted In favor of discontinuing the strike. He declared that Mr. Mitchell had said to Mr. Howell: "If you can show me any ray of hope of victory In this strike, notwithstanding that we now have spent almost $100,000, hope. Mr. McCulloch, of Michigan, a National board member, deplored the fact that a man claiming to be a Socialist had come into the convention endeavoring to pledge the union to Socialism. Cries of "aye. aye." came from a number of Socialists. President Douthwalte. of district 15, Col orado, explained the conditions which led up to the strike and declared he still be lieved that, if he had had $30,000 at bis disposal on September 7 last, he would have had a different story to tell. He said that the miners of Northern Colorado would have been willing to call a sympa thetic strike If there had been aHy hope of a favorable outcome, but there was not. TO SETTLE MINE DISPUTES. Bituminous Coal Operators Propose Joint Tribunal. INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 19. The cora misisoners and secretaries of the sev eral organizations of bituminous coal operators of the United States today took the Initial step toward the organ ization f a joint tribunal of miners ' and operators to which shall be refer red all mine troubles for settlement. Traction Empoyes Will Strike. WILXESBARRE. Pa.. Jan. IS. The motormen und conductors ef the Wilkesbarre & Wyoming Valley Trac tion Company, which comprises nearly Uhe entire electric systora of the "Wyom ing Valley, have voted to go on strike. They want an increase of from 51.80 to i- a day. !etra- the slightest excitement. Neither did the Imperial party In the chapel be low. Although 'the actual ceremony was ended, the Emperor remained and accom panied tlie metropolitan and clergy as they circled the pavilion around the chapel to bless the gorgeous standards of . im.ntc assembled - . -. . ,A1M. -,. to the palace and the original programme was carried out: The Emperor displayed splendid nerve. He did not show a trace of excitement. He received the diplomats in his usual cordial, gentle manner, reviewed the guard regiments on the square behind the palace, and subsequently had luncheon served In the state dining-room. When the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press, who was about to go down to the white salon (when one of the mis siles flew right over his head) left the palace, he saw a hole in the window of another salon and holes outside In the stucco of the massive red building. The police are actively at work trying to clear up the mystery as to where the ! shots came from. Strike Causes High Tension. The strike situation has not been changed by this holiday. The men ar herding themselves in various parts of the I city, and a test Is expected tomorrow. wnen tne employers win make a nnai answer to their demands. While no colli sions have yet been reported, there Is a I feeling among all classes of high tension. The news that an attempt had been made on the Emperor's life spread like wildfire during the afternoon, leading to: all sorts of versions, and generally In-' creasing the tension. Additional particulars show that the Emperor had a miraculous escape. There Is no longer any doubt that the missiles came from the gun on tho Bourse Bat tery, which was loaded with grape, not shrapnel. Some of the bullets actually struck the little open chapel In which the Emperor was standing, cut the staff of one of the standards, and fairly riddled the basement windows of the palace, kill ing a policeman outright and wounding an officer and three marines. Had the gun been aimed a little lower, the charge of grape might have wiped out the whole Romanoff dynasty. No official statement has as yet been Issued, but the suggestion offered that the gun was loaded with grape as a precau tion in view of possible strike rioting hardly meets the fact that it was aimed with such accuracy at the chapel. Every thing on tho surface seems to Indicate the existence of a deadly and deep-laid plot against the Emperor, In which artillery men were enlisted. Tho pollen took charge of the spot where the battery still stands and drew a double cordon across tho river, searching out everything in the line of fire. An old barge frozen In the ice was thoroughly examined to ascertain whether the bullets could possibly have come from It, but no evldenco was discovered tending to sub stantiate such a theory. It develops that one of the bullets which entered- the Nicholas Hall, where the diplomats were gathered, struck down a golden plate from the wall. Many of tho causa of the fall of the plate until afterward, although they noticed that something unusual had happened, es pecially as the reception did not take place In Nicholas Hall, where It generally occurs, but was hastily adjourned to the Marshal's Hall, on the other side of the palace. Version Given by Police. The Associated Press obtained the following statement from the police at 5 o'clock this afternoon: With the second or third shot from the Bourse battery on Basil Island a rery Urge number of grape shot struck tho chapel of the palace. Two entered the interior where the Emperor was standing. The shot had a very low velocity. The two which entered the chapel fell harmlessly to the floor. Several policemen about the chapel were struck. With the exception, of one man named Roma no 2. who was severely wounded, they . all escaped with contusions. An Inquiry la being con ducted by the Grand Duke Scrglus Mlchaelo- vltch, Inspector-General of Artillery. It has not yet been established whether It was an accident or was due to premeditation. From an authoritative source it appears that doubt of the existence of a plot arises from the fact that the grape was distributed to the battery in anticipa tion of possible trouble with rioters. the most alarming reports having reached the authorities last night of a .proposed attempt on the Emperor's life today. Upon this fact rests the the ory of a possible mistake made by a gunner. "If this was a deliberate plot," said an officer especially charged with safeguard ing the person of His Majesty. "It was very Ingenious. We have ben prepared for an anarchist attempt in any form we could conceive, bu any attempt to kill the Emperor with his own guns under the guise of firing a salute was never dreamed of. It is a new departure, against a repetition of which we must take precau tions. If the gunners of the Emperor's picked guard can be enlisted in such a dastardly conspiracy serious possibilities are presented. Officials Call It an Accident. The official account of today's shoot Ing affair is as follows: "Durlnir the ceremony of the bless ing of the waters of the Neva today In the presence of the Emperor, as the usual salute was being fired, an nc cident happened. A charge of grape instead of a saluting charge was fired from a gun belonging to one of the batteries stationed near the Bourse. Some bullets struck the facade of the "Winter Palace on the quay gardens. breaking four windows. A policeman be longing to the St. Petersburg force was killed. According to the informa tion to hand at present, no other ac cident occurred. Inquiry continues." It is now stated in official circles that the grap was fired from one of the guns of the Seventeenth Battery of the First Horse Artillery of the Guard, the most aristocratic corps in the Rus sian army. It seems that at gun prac tice on Tuesday a loaded shell was in advertently left In the gun. SHOOTING WAS INTENTIONAL. Mass of Evidence Goes to Prove Ex istence of Plot. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 20. :10 A. M.) In spite of the official statement that the cannon-shot yesterday which might easily have wiped out the whole of the Romanoff- family, was the result of care lessness In leaving a shotted cartridge in the breech of a gun after target practice, the mysterious case Is still under the com bined investigation of the military and the police, and the public seems as little inclined as the authorities to accept the published version. The officers and men of the batters- have not been arrested, but are confined to the barracks and. by the military regulations, are so closely under restraint tliat It is Impossible for the cul prit or culprits to escape until the respon sibility Is determined. It cannot be said definitely whether the affair was an accident or the result of de sign. The general belief la that a wide spread plot did not exist, but evidences of design are so apparent that the state ment attributing the presence of a loaded shell to previous target practice evoked smiles in many quarters. It is pointed out as highly Improbable that the gun had not been cleaned for two days, and It Is Impossible that a second cartridge could "have been Inserted for saluting purposes, and It Is certainly a startling coincidence that the gun containing this cartridge should have been trained directly upon the imperial chapel. Whatever may be the bolution. Jt Is a the strange fact that the shot came from tho Bourse esplanade, where was stationed the First Horse Artillery of the Guard, the premier artillery organization of the em pire and one of tlie most noted regiments in the whole Russian service. The roster of this organization has Included Grand Dukes. Princes and some of the most Il lustrious names in Russia. Lieutenant- General Grippenberg was formerly an of ficer of the regiment, and Grand Duke Sergius Michaelovltch. the chief artillery Inspector of the Russian army, whoBe duty It is to conduct the Investigation, was himself formerly Colonel of the regl menL The two investigations are proceeding independently, and both are guarded with the utmost secrecy. Military experts say Indications point to a charge consisting of grape having been inserted surreptitiously In a saluting cart ridge. If this was the case, probably only one man was Involved. Certainly, If there was an extensive, deep-laid plot, or If an officer was Involved, It was badly exe cuted. It is pointed out that It is hardly nrobablc an expert artilleryman should "have prepared a weak, scattering charge which could hardly carry across the Neva. At the same time, an indication of de sign Is the fact that the gun was laid directly against the imperial pavilion. Whether the gun contained a salutation charge or a regular service shell, the pa vilion must have been destroyed. It Is clear that the saluting was done most recklessly, as the flashes of the blank shots from St. Peter and St. Paul fort resses showed that the guns were directed straight at the Winter Palace. ON VERGE OF REVOLUTION. Father Gopon Threatens to Lead 100,000 Strikers to Palace. LONDON. Jan. 20. The London papers today and their St. Petersburg correspond ents take the gravest view of the internal conditions In Russia. The majority ex press the belief that yesterday's Incident was a premeditated attempt on the life of Emperor Nicholas and maintain that the strike is much more a political than an Industrial movement. In short, they consider that signs makes It appear that the empire Is on the verge of a revolu tion. It Is alleged that the St. Petersburg manufacturers have decided to reject the strikers' demands and that the orthodox priest. Father Gopon. the picturesque fig ure. who has constituted himself the lender of the strike movement and pos sesses the most complete sympathy, threatens to march on Sunday at the head of 100.000 strikers to the Winter Palace with a petition for political rights, and that he will refuse to depart until the document is presented to the Emperor. STRIKE MAY BECOME GENERAL Efforts Made to Call Out All Workers in St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. SO. :3) A. M.) The strike situation is causing much un easiness. There are indications of its spreading toward a general sympathetic strike. Determined efforts are being made to call out all the factory-workers In St- Petersburg. numbering several hundreds of thousands. Including the employes of the Russian Westinghouse Company.

Third and Pine streets, at 2:15 thi3 morning, he woujd have been a dead man, if he had not by some miracle escaped through a fusillade of revolver shots. He was supposed to be a burglar that had entered the place for the purpose of rob bery. He was discovered to be in the place by Special Policeman Gassett. on his regular rounds. The alarm was raised, and Captain Bai ley dispatched Acting Sergeant Carpenter with Patrolmen Robson. Courtney and Jones. They surrounded the saloon, with drawn revolvers. Gassett and Carpenter started in through the back door. They called to the supposed burglar, telling him he was trapped, and might as well give up. He proved to be Douglaif one of the proprietors. " ' "Douglas can count himself most for tunate." said Carpenter. "Had he started out either door and had he made the least suspicious move, or failed to halt In stantly, we would have shot him down." There have been so many saloon bur glaries of late that the police were almost ccrtaintthey were about to tackle a des perate robber. Chiefs of Herreros Surrender. BERLIN. Jan. 19.
