WASHINGTON. Sept. 22. An offic

the attention of the state department
giving Information as to conditions in
the Yanatse Klang valley and also giv
ing detailed and fully authenticated In-
stance, of atrocities In the province ot
tlunan against Christian missionaries.
The account Is given by one of th?
Christian missionaries who escaped and
who makes the retort through the of
ficials of the government now forward
ing It to Washington.
Ir. one case It Is stated that a mis
sionary had his eyes burned out, then
a portion of his body was cut off and
finally a red hot staff wasdrlven through
his buck. In another case a missionary
was wrapped In cotton, the cotton was
soak-d In oil and the mnis set on. fire.
Concerning conditions In the Yangtse
Klang valley, the representative states
that the vle-Toys there have exercised
a mot pacific Influence, despite orders
to the cortrary from Pekln. It appears
that the Pfkln government ordered the
vcny to assemble a large army and
march it to the north, but aa the vice
roy, personally were opposed to an anti-foreign
crusade the ord"r was not
executed. Instead of that one of the
official, assembled an army of J000 un

Quiet Bat Ssllea-Induced
Others to Quit.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 22.-At the
end of the first week of the strike In
the anthracite coal field, there are not
wanting sign, of a desire on the Dart
of tome striker, to return to work.
This sentiment Is generally confined to
the Engllsh-sklng element among
the mine workers.
Notwithstanding a serious outbreak
necessitating the sending of troops to
Schuylkill county, everything la report
ed quiet In the entire coal region to
night.
There Is a feeling1 that effort, will be
maJe In all districts Monday to start
the mines.
Tbe persistence of corporation, and
Individual mine wners In asserting
that they will sonslder grievances of
the employ 'ndlvllually but will not
treat with the unlt;d mineworkere
ha. undoubtedly had Its effect and It
would not be surprising If many mines
began to resume operations, at least
partially, beginning next week.
tUCATION AT SHENANDOAH.
SHENANDOAH. Pa.. Sept. 22. With
the arrival of the militia here today
this borough assumed Its" norma! con
dition and the anticipated resumption
of violence on the part of the strikers
did not occur.
The only colliery which attempted
work today was the William Penn, op
erated by the Susquehanna Coal Com
pany. Its employees were, however, In
tercepted on the way to the mine by
strikers wh3 succeeded In persuading
them to return to their homes.
The first detachment of troops ar
rived this morning and by afternoon
the Fourth. Eighth and Twelfth regi
ments, battery C. and the governors
troops were here. The arrival of troops
occasioned much excitement among the
residents, especially among the strik
ers who thronged the vicinity of the
railroad station. They were sullen and
muttered threats but made no attempts
at violence.
It developed this morning that only
one person, Mike Yuckavage. was killed
outright 'n last evening", -shooting
here. Annie Rogers, the little girl who
It was supposed was shot to death,
recovered consciousness some hours af
ter the bullet struck her In the back
of the neck, and Is today In a fair way
of ultimately getting well.
The town council appointed over 300
special policemen to serve during the
night, and everything passed oft peace
fully. No crowds were allowed to congregate.
Edward Clark, who was shot below
the heart, has a chance for life. The
bullet has been extracted, and he Is
Improving today. He had gone Into the
street to take his children out of the
way, and In this manner received the
wound.
The forty-six deputies who were with
Sheriff Toole last evening and did the
shooting were selected from the best
citizens of Shenandoah. The report
that they were the scum of the county
is untrue. So far as business Is con
cerned, the town Is as still as on Sun
day. The saloons are. all closed. In ac
cordance v!th an order of the council
last night. No outbreak Is feared, and
the law-abiding citizens breathe more
easily.
The collieries will resume -.vork Mon
day providing, a sufficient number of
hands Is obtained. It Is believed that
most of ther.i will be able to work full
handed.
MINERS RESTLESS.
SCRANTON, Pa.. Sept. 22. President
Nlcholls and the members of District
No. 1 executive board are not appre
hensive today of any change in the
stilke situation in this section by rea
son of ordering of troops to the Schuyl
kill region. The news caused them
much chagrin and disappointment, De
cause they had hoped for the best of
order there, the same as prevails In this
region.
Now that troops are In the field, an
uncertainty Is growing among the min
ers here as to their future. From
Forest City, where the Hillside Coal
& Iron Company has two big mines, the
news comes that many men are dis
satisfied with the present status of the
strike and have announced their In
tention to go back to work on Monday.
The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Company's men, too. are showing rest
lessness today, and a break may come
In their ranks very soon, as the com
rany, through General Superintendent
LoomU, announces today that as soon
as the men get back to work their de
mands as company employees, exclu
sively, will be taken up and considered.
The Pennsylvania Coal Company stands
In a similar position ond other com
panies nre rady to do the same.
The companl!.-.' announcement, thnt
they will not deal with their employees
through the T'nlted Mine Worker.' or
ganization, together with bringing the
military to the scn hm set the strik
ers to thinking, and they realize that
the battle !s apparently going against
them.
The Washerlts. which operated all
the wek, are still going. No disorder
has broken out anywhere In this re
gion. The men are peaceable and are
remaining away from the mines. The

Authority of Prlsct Chins, tad LI Hung
Chasf Recoxnlied-Amerks Will
Hot Withdraw Its Ustloi
From Pekln.
WASHINGTON, fcpt. 22.-The stat-
department tonight made public the
text of the notes addressed bv It to th
governments of Germany. Russia and
t-mna in answer to the Inquiries from
them as to the attitude of the United
States toward the various phases of the
Chinese problem. The forecasts of the
note, made In the press appear to have
been accurate, for although nowhere
In the text Is reference made to with
drawal of the United States troops
from China, an official statement tsmed
by the navy department bear3 out tho
prediction that the government finally
has decided upon a material reduction
of Its military force.
The answer to the German note 1.
carefully phrased so as to .often the
unqualified refusal of the United States
government to make the punishment of
the Chinese ringleaders a condition pre
cedent to negotiations. The reply of
tbe United States to the German note
is In part as follows:
"(Acting Secretary Hill to Imperial
German Charge d'Affairs) Sir: In re
sponse to your Inquiry as to the atti
tude of the government of the United
States In regard to examnlarr Dunlsh.
ment of the notable leaders la the
crimes committed In Pekln against In
ternational law. I have the honor to
make the following statement:
"The government of the United States
has from the outset proclaimed the
purpose to' hold to the uttermost ac
countability the responsible authors of
any wrongs done In China to. citizens
of the United States. It is thought,
however, that no punitive measures can
be so effective by way of reparation
for wrongs suffered and as deterrent
examples for the future as the degra
dation and punishment of the respon
sible authors by the supreme Imperial
authority Itself. ,
"The United States is not disposed as
a preliminary condition to entering in
to diplomatic negotiations with the
Chinese government to join In a de
mand that said government surrender
to the powers such persons as accord
ing to the determination of the powers
themselves may be held to be the real
perpetrators of these wrongs.
"It Is the purpose of this government
at the earliest practicable moment to
name plenipotentiaries for negotiating
a settlement with China and, In the
meantime, to authorize Its minister in
PeWin to enter fnrthwlfh Into nonfnn-
ence with the duly authorized repre
sentatives or tne uninese government
with a view to bringing about a pre-
llmlnarv amampnl u-hi-oViv iha full
exercise of the Imperial power for the
preservation or order and protection of
foreign life and property throughout
China, pending negotiations with the
powers, shall be assured."
The note handed to the Chinese min
ister is an acceptance of Prince Chlng
and LI Hung Chang as plenipotentiaries
tor preliminary negotiations, in reply
to questions from the Russian gov
ernment, the United States government
states It has no present Intention of
withdrawing Its legation from Pekln.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22 A special to
the Tribune from Washington sajs:
Notes have been sent to the powers
clearly defining the cours2 this gov
ernment has determined to pursue in
the Chinese situation.
The Chinese government must be
promptly reestablished and enter Into
new treaties with adequate provision
for reparation and guarantees for the
future. Most of the United States
troope are to be withdrawn from China
Immediately. China will be compelled
to punish her own culprits.
It Is the belief of this government
that there Is nothing to prevent the be
ginning of negotiations without further
delay and tnat no occasion exists for
the protracted continuance of troops
on Chinese territory. Co-operation with
the powers along these lines will be
welcomed by this government which
must, however, reserve the right to act
independently on any proposition which
might lead to war with the Chinese
empire.
A memorandum will be made public
bv the state department today, after
the notes reach their destinations, giv
ing a fuJI, statement of the conditions
now existing, which will unmistakably
demonstrate that the course ot the
United States has been thoroughly con
sistent from the first and tbst nothing
has succeeded In swerving the admin
istration from its determination not to
become embroiled In anv ulterior de
signs other nations may have upon Chi
na. - According to the best available spe
cific information, the government an
nounces Its recognition of LI Huns
Chang and Prince Chlng as the plen
Inotentiaries of the Emperor Kwanir
Hsu and has authorized Minister Con
ger to open preliminary negotiations
with them at once, the United States
at the same time being prepared to ap
point a special committee to meet the
Chinese authorities empowered to con
clude conventions, provide Indemnity
for pust injuries and jj Lit .Aril"- f..e
future security. '
The United States will insist, as a part
of the reparation to be demanded In
the negotiations, thot the fhin,
authorities shall punish the guilty with
deserved severity.
