RUSSIA CUTS LOOSE
Czar Declares He Will Act Inde
pendently of Allied Powers.
TIRED OF THE INACTIVITY IN CHINA
Announcement la No Surprise to Wash
ington om.lnli, Aa Surh a Move
Has Long Iteon Expected.
A cable dispatch from St. Peters
burg says: The Russian government
permits it to become known that its
attitude in China will be increasing
from independence of the concert of
the powers. Russia, it is explained,
is disposed to attach less value to joint
action since her interests have been
fully secured by the successful cam
paign in Manchuria. Moreover, Rus
sia is not willing to “follow the irre
concilable policy of some of the pow
ers.”
The expectation, the publication
adds, is that the Chinese government
is about to utilize all its resources of
duplicity to keep the powers occupied
with vain negotiations and proposals
aud the dispatching of notes in order
to gain time until the winter, counting
on the rigor of the climate to prevent
military operations aud allow China
to gather her resources for a spring
campaign.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS NOT SURPRISED.
The cable dispatch from St. Peters
burg, indicating that Russia’s attitude
in China will be independent of the
concert of the powers, caused no sur
prise among officials in Washington,
who have been looking forward for
some time to just such a line of action.
It was noted when the aggressive mil
itary movement was inaugurated by
Germany, and the expedition against
Pro Ting Fu started that Russia was
among the powers which did not join
in the movement.
As the bulk of the American troops
had withdrawn from China, leaving
General Chaffee only a legation guard
at Pekin, the American forces also re
frained from participating. The Ja
panese forces participated in a very
limited degree, by continuing the de
fenses of Pekin duriug the absence of
the other allies. The dispatch from
St. Petersburg is looked upon as
merely another step similar to that
taken when Russia withheld from the
Pao Ting Fu expedition and other
aggressive military moves.
Moreover, it is regarded as quite in
consonance with the pacific tendencies
of this government, which have been
directed all along to securing a settle
ment by diplomatic means, rather than
by the sword. The Russian pnrposo
of pursuing independent action has
not made itself, evident in any official
or formal way thus far, either to the
state department or to the Russian
embassy here.
FATAL FIRE AT DETROIT.
Shoe Manufactory Bnrn; Two Mon I>eail
and Eight Receive Injuries.
Asa result of a fire at Detroit,Mich.,
Tuesday afternoon in tho building at
No. 15 Jefferson avenue, occupied by
the Witchell Brothers Company, man
ufacturers of shoes, two men are dead
and eight persons are more or less se
riously hurt. The fire started in the
basement, which was used as a store
room for boxes and lumber. The or
igin remains a mystery.
The flames spread so rapidly that
none of the employes who were on the
second and third floors were able to
escape by tho stairway. The girls em
ployed in the building were on the
third floor, and when the cry of fire
was raised they became panic stricken
and rushed for the windows, jvhere a
general fight followed in the efforts to
get out. Tho firemen took several
girls from the third story front win
dows, while others escaped from the
rear by means of fire escapes. The
money loss was small.
$2,000,000 Fire In Costa Elea.
A fire which started in Port Limon,
Costa Rico, Saturday, according to late
dispatches received iu New York Tues
day destroyed the entire business sec
tion of the city and caused a property
loss of over $2,009,000.
RKMET QUITS CHINESE WATERS.
Tle Headquarters of Asiatic Station Re
turns to the Philippines.
Admiral Eemey cabled the navy de
partment Friday of hi* departnro
from Chinese waters. He goes on his
flagship, the Brooklyn, from Taku to
Che Foo, thence to Nagasaki, Japan.
It is the understanding tt the navy de
partment that he will next go to Ca
vite.
This move will take the headquar
ters of the Asiatio station back to
Manila, leaving the squadron in Chi
nese waters without an admiral in
command, unless Admiral Remey
should determine to have Admiral
Keanpff return there.
MINERS ACCEPT RAISE
Advance of 10 Per Cent Must Hold
G-col Until Next April.
OPERATORS ARE NOW DISSATISFIED
Strikers Also Demand That Sliding Seale
lie Abolished—Committee Report Is
Adopted Unanimonsly.
The anthracite coal miners now on
strike, after a two days’ convention at
Scranton, Pa., late Saturday afternoon
decided to accept the 10 per cent net
increase in wages offered by the mine
owners providing they will continue
payment of the advance until next April
and will abolish the sliding scale. If
the operators consider the proposition
unacceptable, the miners are willing
to arbitrate the question at issue.
They als© decided to continue the
strike until the operators agree to the
convention’s proposition. The reso
lution is as follows:
Me, your committee, respectfully
submit the following preamble and
resolutions for your consideration:
"Whereas, the anthracite coal opera
tors have posted notices offering an
advance of 10 per cent over wages
formerly paid, and have signified their
willingness to adjust other grievances
with their awn employees; aud,
Whereas, They have failed to specify
the length of time this advance will
remain in force, and have also failed
to abolish the sliding method of de
termining wages, we would recom
mend:
That this convention accept an ad
vance of 10 per cent, providing the
operators will continue its payment
until April 1, 1901, and will abolish
the sliding scale in the Lehigh and
Schuylkill regions; the scale of wages
in the two last named districts to re
main stationary nt 10 per cent above
the present basis price; and that the
companies will agree to adjust other
grievances complained of with com
mittees of their own employees.
Should this proposition be unac
ceptable to the operators we recom
mend that the convention propose that
all questions at) issue be submitted to
a fair and impartial board of arbitra
tion.
Wo would further recommend that
under no circumstances whatever
should there be a resumption of work
at any of the collieries until the opera
tors signify tbeir acceptance of this
prosition, and you are notified offi
cially that the strike is ended, and all
return to work in a body on the samo
-day.
STTJBBOHN CONTEST EXPECTED.
Judging by the unanimity of the
miners in adopting the resolution and
by the determined stand taken by the
operators, it is generally believed that
a long contest between the strikers
and mine owners is not unlikely.
There was great enthusiasm in the
convention when the counter proposi
tion to the operators was carried, and
three cheers were given for President
Mitchell. The resolutions were draft
ed by a committee of thirteen, of
which the national president was chair
man.
OPERATORS OPPOSED to DEMANDS.
A cauvass of tho operators of tho
Wyoming valley Sunday showed that
there is considerable opposition to
granting the miners any more conces
sions than those outlined in the origi
nal offer, namely 10 per cent increase
without any conditions. The indi
vidual operators, especially, are op
posed to tieiug themselves up to any
agreement.
The terms of tho Scranton conven
tion are not acceptable to operators
and representatives of coal carrying
companies in Shamokin and Mount
Carmel. The Reading officials do not
think the sliding scale will be abolish
ed by the company, while operators
are averse to s’gning a contract bind
ing them to pay the 10 per cent in
crease until April.
The individual coal operators who
could be seen at Hazleton declined to
discuss the action taken by the miners.
Neither would say what steps the em
ployers wouid probably take.
It is evident from their reticence
that the individual mine owners are
waiting to see w'aat the large coal-carry
ing railroads that mine coal will do.
STRIKERS FACE BAYONETS.
Company of Infantry Intercept Mnrcliln*
Minor* Near Ilailotan.
About 1,500 men and sixty women
and girls marched eighteen miles from
the South side Hazleton region during
Monday night for the Panther Creek
valley where they expected to close all
of the the ten collieries of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company, but
just as the weary marchers were near
ing their destination Tuesday morning
they were met on the mountain road
by three companies of infantry, and at
the point of tho bayonet were driven
back four miles to Tamaqaa and dis
persed.
