The end of the aecond week approaches with the prospect today of a total suspension of lubor before a general resumption be gins. President Mitchell, of the Mine work er' I'nlon. has devoted himself strictly to developing the present situation and regards the victory aa about accom plished aa to Its first stage. In order to secure the demands made by him for the miner he must flrat atop the coal production. His theory Is that the ne cessity for ft supply of anthracite coal will constrain the operators. Doth those who are Independent and those con nected with the transportation coal companies, to ask for a conference with the mlnera through the Mine Workers' Union, urged by the backing of public sentiment quickened by the Increase In the price of coal.

The project de pends for It Initial ucc upon the return to work of the miner. Presi dent Mitchell' order would have to be disobeyed and this cannot be done. The attitude of th oterator prom lue no early meeting of the two aide to the atrlke. All tlgn point to a stubborn light with occasional disturb ances when the harangue of the '"for eign" orgarrixer here can fun a spark of X"dl Into a furious fire of riot.' Much an outbreak. If resulting In great sac rifice of life, might avert the senseless trial of endurance In which the miners and their families must he the Imme diate sufferer and the ultimate losers. Hurting with a profession of willing ness to arbitrate, the Mine Worker' I'nlon has hero In Hazleton found It hardest task at the Jeddo collieries In breaking up the l!i-yar-old arbitra tion agreement between the firm of (i, B. Markle Co. and it employe. According to th assertions of everal operator here, the original offer of the union to reaort to arbitration wa nev er received by them, leading them to conclude that Mitchell and his asso dates so contrived their actions as to Insure a atrlke. OWNERS CLAIM INJUSTICE. POTTSVILLE. Pa., Pept. 27. The miner generally believe they are near er th goal they are striving for than they hav; been at any time since the utrlke was ordered. Sympathizer wlfh the strikers de claw that the mine owners will lie com pelled to recognize the United Mine Workers Just as the head of the Iron and other great Industrial Interest of Pennsylvania were compelled to re rogtilze other great labor organizations. On tht, other hand, friends of the mine owner assert this will never be done, at least by any of the coal companies and Individual oifcrators In the Schuyl kill region. ' The mine owners and operators here feel that at least as far as this re gion Is concerned the strike Is an ex tremely unjust one. That thousand of men who time and again acknowledged that they had no grievances with their employer should throw down their tools and quit the mines, entailing millions of dollars of loss upon employers who treated their employes Justly Is. these employers sav. tiie acme of unfairness and makes the mine owners feel little Inclined to treat with union. Thousands of those who have quit only did so after great pressure hod been brought to bear upon them. Hun dreds of those still at work are there because they diynot wish to at the part of Ingrates. In fact the feeling of re luctance to be unfair haa had more to do with keeping many of the Schuyl kill miner from Joining the striker than any other Influence.

Sep tember 27: "Recent punitive expeditions have had ap excellent effect In Increasing security and facilitating the entry of rt'ppllex. but nothing can be counted a effective until Pao Ting Fu has been razel and the foreigner and refugee at Cheng Ting and other places known to the generals are rescued." M. De Glers ha addressed a memor ial to the empress dowager offering her the protection of Russia and re quiting her to return to Pekln. The conflicting Interests of Russia and Great Lrltaln prevent a systematic at tempt to reconstruct the railway al though restoration would be eaay. INSTRUCTIONS TO CONGER. WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-Minlster Conger haa been advised by the ktate department of the substance cf the re plies made by this government last Friday to the government of Germany, Russia and China respecting China, which clearly 'adicate to him the gen eral nature of the instructions be la to receive. Moreover, by this time he is Informed of the orders i.-wued to General Chaffee to reduce his force to a legation guard. The note to China specifically pointed out the line on which this government will Issue It Instruction to It min ister. The document I In course of final approval. Acting Secretary Hill having completJd a draft of It some day ago and forwarded It to the presi dent. It was the belief of the state depart ment late this afternoon that the ac tual transmission of Instructions would be carried out very soon, probably within the next twelve hours It 1 said that the text of the in struction will not be given publicity at present for diplomatic reasons, but there Is no cone-alment of the general scope of ths document, which I on the line laid down in the three notes. In this connection it Is said at the state department that Conger will put these negotiations Jn motion without any purpose of acting for any govern ment other than the United States; also the government steadily keeps in mind that the United States Is but one J of several nations mutually Interested in oDtainlng a common end and it ia hoped that the effect of Conger' mak ing a beginning towards negotiations may be to Induce the other power to follow. It is believed that the state depart ment already naa taken steps through Minister Wu to impress upon the Chi nese govoi,.ment the undesirability of the appointment of Prince Tuan as grand secre'ary and the painful Im pression this appointment has created throughout this country. GERMANY BLAMES AMERICA. BERLIN. Sept. 27.-The German press and foreign office continue to deny that Great Britain has rejected Ger many' proposal. They also continue to blame the United Stafpo f,.r the imi. ly revived Chinese obduracy and re newed evidence that the Chinese In tend to resume Hostilities on a large plan. ENGLAND'S POLICY. LONDON. Sept. 27. The statement mat uord Salisbury had verbally ans wered the German ambassador, Count Von Hatzfoldt-Wildenburg, In the same terms as the United States government used In replying to the German note re garding China has oalled forth many denials throughout Europe. In the first place. It may be reiterated that Tues day last the British premier told the German ambassador here that Ger many's Idea of the surrender of the au thors of the outrages as a precedent was not feasible, and In doing so, Lord ( Salisbury employed terms similar to I thoee used In the note from Washlng- ton. I Though this w'a Intended as a refus al of what is regarded In Downing street as the really Important feature of the Gernnn note, it waa not ac cepted as such by the German ambas sador, on the ground that Lord Salis bury did not "formally" answer the note, and left the latter part of the German proposal (that Is, that the minister at Pekln should designate the offenders), unanswered, pending an hourly expected message from Sir Claude MacDonald. the British minis ter at Pekln. The British foreign of fice has Issued what may be taken In England to be a denial of the statement made to the Associated Press, saying that the British answer ha "not yet been sent." This waa especially set forth in the dispatch uinounclng Lord Salisbury's reply to the German am bassador, and It was added that the answer might not be sent for several days. There Is no reason to believe that the awaited message from Pekln will have any bearing upon Lord Salis bury' determination to agree with the United States In refusing to consent to the only proposition of any weight con tained in the German note, though the formal pronouncement of such disagree ment may be staved off at the last moment by Germany receding from the position taken up and submitting to a compromise. If such is the case (and the German ambassador in London haa already hinted to the Associated Press that it might come about), it Is only natural that Berlin and the other capi tals In accord with Germany will use every efkn to conceal the fact that Germany waa coerced into a compromise arrangement by the action of Great Prltaln and the United State. Count Von Hatzfeldt-Wlldenburg wa not the only recipient of Ird Salis bury' view on Tuday, for during the usual foreign offce reception sever al foreign representative sounded the premier on Gr'it Britain' attitude to ward the German projnaI and they were all satisfied Lord Salisbury' de cision wa against Germany. FRENCH RUMORS. PARIS. Sept. 27. The French consul at Shanghai cable tinder date of Sep tember 2r. that Tung Fuh Slan ha Ju been appointed general of the Western and North'-rn armle. The con sul odd that according to Chinese In formation, the viceroy and governor have received an Imperial aecret de cree Instructing .hem to fight the for eigner and destroy them. The determination of the Unltel State to withdraw her troop from China, while at the same time Increas ing the strength of her fleet In Chinese waters. Is rather disconcerting to the power. But the Interpretation put upon It n official circle 1 that the United States I resolved to protect the rolley of the open door to the extremity, and I therefore preparing a fleet fr the purpose of maintaining that policy by a show of forco. . The publication of an alleged Rus sian edict, announcing the annexation of Manchuria, ha caused a decidedly uneasv feebnar. but no one seen here was able to definitely affirm or deny It authenticity. In discussing tr.ls point, a foreign office official expresed emphatically a leslre that the United States should know that France has no sympathy with any movement to wards the partition of China, and that sh will lend all her Influence towardi averting what she considers would be a mistake and a wntfig. A renresentative of the Associated Press ha learned th-'tt France has not pent a formal note to Germany, her action being known verbally to Ger many's charge d'affalr at a call he made here at the. foreign office. BOXER LEADERS IN POWER. NEW YORK, Sept. 27. A dispatch to the Herald from Shanghai says: The situation In China i now more serious than ever before for those who are Interested 'n preserving the Integ rity of the empire. The Chinese gov ernment I In the power of the Boxer leaden who are not likely to submit to the empress dowager a proposition un favorable to them. The friendly vice roys of the south are still loyal to the throne and any foreign aggression In southern China will precipitate an armed uprising. Already the governor of Nganhwet province ha addressed a memorial to tte empress dowager declaring that his signature to the viceroy' agreement with the foreign consul in Shanghai waa forged. , There is danger that the friendly viceroys will be replaced. - Sheng. the friendly taotai of Shanghai, haa been ordered north, and that practically mean hi death.

For every one there is money enough to buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good, wholesome. Why should we use cheap, impure, un healthful articles of food?
