HER INTERESTS ARE SECURED Therefore She Is Not Willing to Follow the Irreconcilable Attitude of Mouie •f the Government«- St. Petersburg, Oct. 18.—The Rus sian government permits it to become known that its attitude in China will be increasing independence of the con cert of the powers. Russia, it is ex plained, is disposed to attach less value to joint action since her interests have been fully secured by the successful campaign in Manchuria. Moreover, Russia is not willing to “follow the irreconcilable policy of some of the powers.” The expectation, the publi cation adds, is that the Chinese gov ernment is about to utilize all its re sources of duplicity to keep the powers occupied with vain negotiations and proposals and the dispatching of notes in order to gain time until the winter, counting on the rigor of the climate to pievent military operations and allow China to prepare her resources for a spring campaign. No Surprise in Washington. Washington, Oct. 18.—The cable dispatch from St. Petersburg, indicat ing that Russia’s attitude in China will be independent of the concert of the poweis, caused no surprise among officials here. It was noted when the aggressve military movement was oe- gun by Germany and the expedition against Pao Ting Fu started, that Rus sia was among the powers which did not join in the movement. The dis patch from St. Petersburg is looked on as merely another step. Moreover, it is regarded as quite in consonance with the pacific tendencies of the govern ment, which have been directed all along to securing settlement by diplo matic means rather than by the sword. STOPPED Marching BY MILITIA. Strikers Found the Barred by Soldiers. Roads Lansford, Pa., Oct. 18.—About 1,000 men and 60 women and girls inarched 18 miles, from the south side of the Hazleton region, during the night, for the Panther creek valley, where they expected to close the 10 collieries of the Lehigh Coal & Navi gation Company, but just as the weary marchers were nearing their destina tion this morning they were met on a mountain road by three companies of infantry, and at the point of the bay onet were driven back four miles to "Tamaqua and dispersed. Another crowd of 800 strikers from the north side of Hazleton also march ed here and succeeded in closing the company’s No. 1 colliery at Nesque honing, near Mauch Ch ink, before it was scattered. The presence of the soldiers was en tirely unexpected and the strikers were much crestfallen that they failed in accomplishing the object of their long inarch. It was probably the most exciting morning that the Panther creek and the Nesquehoning valleys have ever ex perienced. Strikers were scattered over the various roads and companies of soldiers were scurrying in all direc tions, heading off the marching men. For a moment just after the two forces met on the road in the darkness, it looked as if a clash would come, but the good sense of those who had charge of the strikers prevented any conflict. CAMPAIGN IN TRANSVAAL. French Clearing the Country South ot Heidelberg. London, Oct. 18.—Lord Roberts re ports from Pretoria, under date of Oc tober 15, as follows: . ‘‘French started from Machadodorp towards Heidelberg to clear a part of the country not yet visited by our troops. ‘‘Mahon, commanding the mounted troops, successfully engaged the enemy on October 13, but our losses were severe, three officers and eight men De- ing killed and three officers and 25 men wounded. “French occupied Carolina yester day, capturing a convoy during hie inarch.” Lord Roberts also reports a number of minor affairs showing that the Boers are still active over a wide field. The British re-entered Bloemboef, near Kimberley, October 14, unop posed, and captured 50 Boers. Glauworkm Marched. Hartford City, Ind., Oct. 18.—A body of striking glaesworkers belonging to local assembly 300 marched from here to Eaton, Ind., today, and pre vented the Bauer window glass factory from opening. The window glass com pany has announced that it will open a provision store and thus escape the bocyott declared by the strikers. Accident In Moravia. Vienna, Oct. 18.—The facade of the Czech high school, at Prossnitz, Mo ravia, toppled into the street today, killing seven persons and injuring 10. Philadelphia, Oct. 19.—The great strike of the anthracite mineworkers of Pennsylvania, which began Septem ber 17, practically ended today, when the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company and the Lehigh Valley Coal Company agreed to abolish the sliding scale in their respective regions and to grant an advance in wages of 10 per cent net, the advance to remain in operation until April 1, 1901, or thereafter. This action meets the de mands of the Scranton miners’ conven tion. The decision was arrived at af ter a conference between representa tives of the individual coal operators and the large coal-carrying companies. The conference began yesterday. Today’s action was the culmination of the recent meeting of the individual operaotrs at Scranton, following ths mineworkers’ convention in the sams city. Nearly all the colleries in the coal region had, previous to the mine workers’ convention, posted notice« granting an adavnee of 10 per cent. The mineworkers, in considering this, demanded that the sliding scale in the Lehigh and Schuylkill districts be abolished, the increase to be guaranteed to April 1, 1901, and all other differ ences to be submitted to arbitration. The individual operators agreed to everything, and the appointment of a committee to induce the Reading and Lehigh companies to abolish the slid- ing scale and make the wage increase« permanent followed. It is conceded that the result of to day’s conference is a complete victory for the men. All the demands of theii convention are acceded to, and, as on« of the individual operators put it aftet the conference, the operators go a lit tle further in agreeing to maintain th« wage advance after April 1. Thil same operator, who requested that hie name be not used, said, in speaking ol the conference: “It is up to the miners now. We have agreed to everything and nothing remains now but for them to return to work as soon as the notice is posted by the colliery managers. This notice will be practically similar to the Read ing company’s nothe the phraseology only being changed. The conference was entirely harmonious and every phase of the strike stuation was gone over.” Just how soon the official order noti fying the men that the strike is ended and to return to work will be issued by President Mitchell can only be con jectured. It is believed here that no order to return will be issued until a notice similar to or in line with that of the Reading and Lehigh companies is posted at all the mines. The Read ing Company's notice reads: “This company hereby withdraws the notice posted October 3, 1900, and to bring about practical uniformity in the advance of wages in the several coal regions, gives notice that it will suspend the operation of the sliding scale, will pay 10 per cent advance on September wages until April 1, 1901, and thereafter until further notice and will take up with the mine employes any grievances which they may have.” Vice-President Garrett of the Le high Valley Company said: “Concerning our operations in the Sohuylkill region you may say that the action of our company will be similar to that of the Reading company. In- other districts, however, certain condi tions exist for instance, the price ol powder, wbeh must be treated separ ately and we have not decided definite ly with regard to them. These mat ters are now in the hands of Sprinten- dent Lathrop whose headqarters are at Wilkesbarre.” Calvin Pardee & Co., extensive in- dividal operators in the Hazleton dis trict announced that they will post no tices tomorrow similar to that issued by the Reading company. This un- dobtedlv indicates that all the individ ual operators will do the same. Seized Chinese Gold. New York, Oct. 19.—Secretary Long has deposited in the treasury the draft for $278,000, representing the fold seized by the American marines at Tien Tsin, says a Washington special to the Herald. According to Treasurer Roberts, an act of congress will be nec essary » withdraw it. Administration officials insist that the money is being held in trust and is not regarded aa spoils of war. Should an indemnity be awarded the United States against Chin.«, the amount of the deposit will be credited to China's bill. General Chaffee will so inform Li Hung Chang, who recently demanded that the money be returned to the Chinese government. Tacoma Car Accident Sult. Tacoma Oct. 19.—The superior court for Pierce county this morning sus tained the demurrer interposed bv the Tacoma Railway & Power Company to the informations charging Manager Mitbcell, Supeirntendent Dame, Fore man Purdy and Motorman Boehm, with manslaughter, in connection with the street railway accident in Tacoma on the Fourth of July, by which 44 persons were killed by a street car run ning off the De Lin street bridge into a deep gulch. Three judges, Kean, Car roll and Williamson, concur in the opinion, calling attention to the errors in the information. The state will appeal to the supreme court from the aecision. Workmen Killed in a Storm. Unknown Burglar Killed. New York, Oct. 18.—A severe wind storm overthrew the unfinished brick and steel building of the Macin Lino leum Works, in Newark, S.
