"Wa are aware that some disappoint ment and dissatisfaction ba been caused by tbe failure of tho operator! in district 1 and 7 to separate the re duction in the price of powder from tbe advance in wages, but after careful inquiry we are satisfied that eacb mine employe will actually receive an ad vance of 10 percent on the wage form erly paid. In tbe Schuylkill and Le igh region the largest eompaniet havt agreed that the eliding scale should be suspended and that wages should remain stationary at 10 per oent until April 1, 1881, the removing one oi the iniquities of which you bave com plained for many years. "While it ia true that yon have not aecured re I res a for all your wrong; while it is true that the increase In ?our earnings will not fully compensate ou for tbe arduous labor yon are com pelled to perform, you bave established a perfect organization, which, if main tained and conducted on buslneas prin ciples, will enable yon to regulat many of yonr local grievance and make your employment less hazardous and more profitable than before the strike began "Tbe companies agree in their notice to take up with their mine employe all grievance complained ot. We would, therefore, advise that when work is resumed committees be select ed by tbe mine employes and that they Wait upon the superintendents of the companies and present their griev ance in an orderly, business-like man ner, and ask that tbey be corrected. "Your attention 1 respectfully called to the fact that the law of the state of Pennsylvania provide tbat miner should be paid semi-monthly upon demand. -We should, therefore, advise that each mine employe serve notice on tbe companies that be expect to be paid bis wages twice each mouth, aa provided bv law. "Tbe practical benefit to the miner whioh accrue from thorough organisa tion bave been so clearly demonstrated during this strike that it should ba needless for na to urge upon you the necessity of maintaining your union in' tact. We tiust, however, that tho who are now member of tbe union will be unceasing in their effort to in duce all mineworkers to ally them selves with the United Mineworkers of America at once, a it will be impossi ble for you to secure your wages in tb future or even maintain the present rate of wage unleea you are prepared to offer a united resistance if any at tempt is made to reduce your earnings upon the expiration of the present offer.'.

Valuable placer claims are reported to bave lieen located in tbe Stewart river mining district, about 100 miles from Dawson, and a stampede baa fol lowed to tbe scebe of tbe find.

The allegation ia contained in a letter wbicb ia going the rounds of the German press. The writer asserts that Herr Krtipp sub icribed 6,000 marks to the fund con stituting the alleged bribe. Tho Na tional Zeitungb says it expects that Count von Posadowsky-Wehner will resign, and nearly ali tbe papers con demn him severely. A special addition of the Berliner Correspondent, which was issued by tbe minister of the interior this alter noon, publishes a statement admitting that Director von Wnedtke, of the im perial department of the interior, in duced Secretary Bueck, of the Central Association of Manufacturers, to de vote 12,000 marks for printing reicb stag material and other documents tending to show arguments in favor of passing tbe anti-strike bill. This printed material was sent to tbe pro vincial press for reproduction. The official statement amounts to a virtual corroboration of the press charges brought against the ministry of the in terior, of which Count von Posadowsky- Webner ia tbe bead. All the evening papers comment upon the official administration. The entire Liberal press now demand tbe resignation ot Poeadowsky-Wehner, and Director von Woedtke, the assump tion being that the bitter doubtless acted at the suggestion of the former. Tbe Berliner Tageblatt says: "The sole consequence of the official state ment is that both mcst resign." A similar demand ' is made by tbe Vos siche Zeitung, which remarks: "It is an unheard ot proceeding tbat a govern ment department sbonld request and receive large sums from one small sec tion of a population directly interested in pending legislation for the purpose of influencing tbe nation against such legislation." The only papers which attempt to defend the secretary of state for tbe in terior are tbe Berliner Post, the Kreuz Zeitung and the Berliner Nachricbten, whose justification of his course in the matter ia weakly apologetic. SOUTHERN BOXERS. They Aro Organising to Drtva Foreign er, Out of China. Hong Kong, Oct. 29. Advice from Lien Cbau, on North river, say that American mission porperty there is threatened with destruction by Boxers, why bave posted tbe following procla mation: "We have organized to protect our country and onr homes, and we rely upon one another to support tbe order to drive out tho foreign devils. They are mad. Their folly passes descrip tion. Tbey are the usurpers of our bind. Tbey disturb our borders. In all tbe provinces and prefectures chap els have been opened, and onr people are deceived, ripped open ana disem boweled, while the foreigners grow fat on tbe revenues of China, insulting our officials and merchants and seizing our temple and palaces. The emperor is indulgent and permits tbis. Who can foretell the intention of tbe foreign devils? Day by day they act more out rageously. When we behold tbe pres ent condition of affairs, onr hearts are bruised witb grief. Therefore, we bave organized onr strength to destroy the devouring wolf throughout tbe em pire." Tbe Boxers took the American Pres byterian mission buildings, but bave not destroyed them. Tbe rebellion is spreading along East river and North river, in the province of Kwang Si. It is (opposed to be aimed at the over throw of the Manohu dynasty, but the report are so contradictory that it is next to impossible to form a lucid im pression In Canton tbe Chinese ofil cals are taking tbe insurrection so lightly tbat foreigners believe it will be very difficult to suppress.
