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 As the bulk of the American troops had withdrawn from China, leaving General Chaffee only a legation guard at Pekin, the American forces also re frained from participating.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.
