' Threaten Seizure ot Tien Tsln It Indem nity Is Not Paid In (lotd. London, July 1. Hie IVkin corres pondent ot tho Times to'cfripha thai since thearrhal of Chang CM Tung director of commerce, and one ol the most progressive of tho Yangtso Vice roys, who was recently summoned lo Pedu by the nmprvss Dowager, ho has visited all tho foreign heads of lega tions, to whom ho declares that China la seriously financially embarrassed, in consequence of which the powers should accept paymnet of tho Indomn Ity In silver. Chang Clil Tung says the viceroys and ether officials wero led io oeueve that the Indemnity was only -160,000,000 tcels in silver, with out any reference to fluctuating values In silver. iNone ot the ministers except the American representative wculd agree to the payment In sliver. France and Russia were ready to pay dutlos on n gold basis, and tho legations of these two posers warned Chang Chi Tung that tho powers would insist on the payment ot tho Indemnity in gold and would take strong measures to enforce tho terms of tho protocol They said In the event ot noncompliance the pow ers contemplated ceiling tho salt ga belle, or reoccupylng tho native city of Tien Tsln. Tho concensus of opinion, says the correspondent, Is that China doos not deserve charitable, treatment. The government has not made, any attempt at financial reform, and that the cor ruption Is as great as over. The money squandered by the court of Pckin would pay double thamount of the in demnity.

The miners are more bitterthan eve; against Mr. Dunsmuir, and trouble is the order of the day. The first sav ge assault that has marked the strike has occurred. Daniel Alexander, an Ital ian miner, who voted to go to work when the matter was under discussion, was frightfully maltreated by two oth er Italians, who ret upon him at -I o'c'ock in the mornine. The two at- tacked Alexander with hands, teeth and feet, and he was a sorry kight when they got through. The disagreement among the men over whether to return to work or not showing In other forms, one of which led to the resignation of Smauel Mot- tishaw, secretary of the local miners' union. It Is stated that Mottishaw, who was active In the strike, found the opposition so bitter that, rather than bo mixed up in It any longer, he resigned, and Frederick James was given the office. There la little doubt that tho two fac tions among the men the leaders of those who want to go to work and those who want to stay out longer are very hostile towards one another. More anger and recrimination has been canted because one sldo has de clared that a registered letter from the representative who was sent to the Western federation of Mlnosr' conven tion has ulsappeared. This lettor gave a gloomy report of federation affairs, but was never read to the Lady. smith union, and the men want to know why. Then, aitain. the Social lets have taken a hand In the struggle ana some of the men look upon this in tenerence as meddlesome and not like ly to advance their causo. 3,000 Men Out of Work.

CAN'T-BE BLUFFED PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL SEND JEW NOTE TO CZAR. licUy Is Nut on Ills Part-Petitioner ire Tardy In Sending In the Paper United States Will Not tlcttute to Ule Expression to Indignation Over Klihlnel ruiucre. Washington, July 3. Tho position of the administration regarding the piopoted tramnilsslon ot the petition of tho Jowlsli i ltltena ot the United States to tho Russian government was made clear and positive hy n statement Issued by tho stato department tonight. This statement was Inspired by news paper publications reflecting tho atti tude of tho Russian goveruuif nt In tho event ol tho p-emulation of such a pe tition through the medium ol tho Untied Stales embassy at St. Peters burg, which had been brought to tho attention of high officers of thd govern ment. It was givon very careful con sideration both horo and at Oyster Hay, before a decision was reached to make any declaration regarding tho matter. Tho statement Is ni follows: "At tho state department it was stated ny a high official, In the absence of Secretary Hay, that the delay In forwarding the petition ol tho Amerl can citizens ot the Jewish lalth as to the 111 treatment ol their co-rollglonlets In Russia was solely duo to tho delay in furiilshlnir tho address to tho state department by tho petitioners. Tho statu department would, of course, pay no heed to any statement purporting to emannto from thu Russian gcveru rnent unle;s such statement was made officially in sumo form or other to our government. 'The state department has Ixon es pecially careful to act only In accord ance with all requirements ot official propriety, but within tho limits thus laid down It will most certainly not hesitate to give expression to thu deep sympathy felt, not only by the admin istration, but by all tho American poo plo, for the unfortunate Jens who had been thu victims in the recent appall ing massacres and outrages." In this connection it was pointed out by another official, who disclaimed any purpose to speak in his official capacity, that it H-omvd rometihat strange, to say the least, that the Russian govern ment should choose this particular method of making a statonicut to the American eople at tho very time when, by methods which aro certainly the revorto of friendly to tho United Slates, It sought to Induce China to break the plighted faith ot all the pow ers as to tho open door in Manchuria and has endeavored to bar our people from access to the Manclmrian trade.
