St. Petersburg, according to the corre-

capital, tout the Chinese fleet in For­

Shanghai telegrams announce that
the imperial edict, dated September

recent edict regarding the degradation
of the Chinese personages of high rank
is merely to gain time to enable China
to lie in a better jsisition to dety the
powers, as the new capital will be vir­

Philadelphia, Oct. 5—There were

teresting feature was the Reading Com­
pany’s notice to its employ«» ib»1 *n
addition to its offer of a 10 pei cent in­
crease, it was willing to enter into
arbitration with them relative to any
grievances they may have. Noue of
the strikers, however, h is yet indicated
an intention to return to work. Af­
fairs were extremely quiet today
throughout th« anthracite teglon.
fieneral (Tobin in command of the
state triaipe recently »ent to Schuylkill
county on request from the sheriff, to­
day directed another of tho regiments
to return home tomorrow. One regi­
ment left Monday. There remains but
oua regiment, a battery of artillery aud
a conipauy of mounted troop».
A secret eonfereu*'« of the leading
itticials of the miners’ organization was
held at Hazleton. At ita cuncbislou,
President Mitchell said the question of
■ailing a joint convention had not been
considered. He added that out of
142.(8)0 mineworker-, only about 5,0m
are at work, and these, he said, would
lie out in a abort time. The time limit

Washington, Oct. 6. —An interesting
picture of the Transvaal »nd Free State
in August, after the wave of war bavi
passed over the country, is presented
in a rep* rt to the state department
from Uutel States Consul-General
Stowe, at Cape Town, dated August
17 last. He had just returned to the
Cape from a trip through the two re­
publics. He say» that for hundreds
of miles all the wire fencing is down
and cannot be used again. The |<i»t»
have been burned for fuel and must be
replaced, with iron posts, owing to the
scarcity of timber. The plowing in
progress is limited. coml>ared with
former years, aud there will be large
market for American cereals.
By
March, 1901, agricultural machinery
will be wanted.
Meat aud livestis k will continue to
be imported. Johannesburg had only
three days’ supply of meat when Mr.
Mowe left the town. M bile the Boers
who have returned are anxious to get
to work, several mouths must elapse
before things settle down to a normal
basis. The government is building a
new line of railway from llarrisniith
to connect with the Orange Colony sys­
tem, so that the Netherlands railway,
with its 200 | er cent dividends, will
no longer huve a monopoly in the
Transvaal. There w ill be a big de­
mand for bridge material and electrical
maheinery and supplies.
Lord Roberts has appointed an ad­
visory committee to assist him in the
reopening of Johannesburg, aud to se­
cure the return of the mining popula­
tion. which the prosperity of the town
depends upon.
It is questionable
whether an undesirable element com­
mon to all mining towns will be al­
lowed to return to Johannesburg.

Seattle, Oct. (I.—The first telegram
from Skagway to Seattle, marking an
epoch iu the historv of business be­
tween Alaska and the outside world,
was received here today. The time oc­
cupied by tlie message in transit was
seven hours, which, however, will be
reduced one-half as soon as the line is
iu working order and business reduced
to a system.
The route taken by the message was
from Skagway to Atlin, theme over
the old Atliu-Lillooet line to the
Fraser river, thence to Ashcroft and on
to Vancouver, from which place it was
sent to Seattle.
The line over which it passed to Van­
couver is that which the Canadian
government lias been engaged in con­
structing for the past four lnonths. It
is not yet completed, and will not be
for about a week. However, in order
to get the tirst message through today,
a temporary line was put up connect­
ing the unfinished portion between
Lillooet ami Ashcroft, aud iu this man­
ner the transmission of the message
was accomplisheil.
According to the reports received
here today, the whole work of the Ca­
nadian government will be concluded
by October 10, after which the through
line will be open for commercial busi­
ness.
