OFFICERS IN CONFERENCE. Companies Controlling Seventy- Five Per Cent of the Anthracite. Coal Output Have Posted the Kcquiretl Polices. Hazleton. la Oct. :i. President Mitchell to-night .'innouiiced that he would tu-nior-row. probably late In the afternoon or own ing, issue n. statement defining the position of the I'ntted Mln Workers In the pre-ent situation of the strike. He aim said that his Matement would. In all likelihood, indi cate whether the strike would be Immedi ately declared off or whether It would be continued. This announcement was made as a result of to-da)'s conference between the national and dstrlct officers of tho I'nlted Mine Workers. Tho Impression around head quarters to-night Is that the stntement will contain practically a declaration that the contest Is ended. Coal companies controlling about 73 per cent of the anthracite coal product. It Is learned, have posted notices, but President Mitchell will not say that all or them com ply with the terms of the Scranton conven tion. The big companies In this district that have not posted the notices are the Lehigh Valley Coal and Navigation. Company, G. B. Markle & Co. and Coxb Bros. & Co. The Markles havo granted no Increase of wages or any kind. To-day's conference was In session three hours and was adjourned until to-morrow morning. President Mitchell, at Its conclusion an nounced that the situation was partly can vassed and that the review would be com pleted to-morrow. The conference discussed plans as to what should be done In the event of one or more of the coal companies ueciinmg to grant the demand of the min ers, as set forth In the resolution adopted ot the Scranton convention. No definite con clusion was. however, arrived at. Mr. Mitchell declined to bay whether the statement of the United Mine Workers that no man will be permitted to return to work unless they all go In together still holds. The notice posted by several of the larger companies In the Lackawanna and Wyo ming regions to-day announcing that the mine workers will be given ! cents en every car or ton In order to make up the 10 per cent Increase came In for much con sideration at the conference. When the conference adjourned this evening this matter was still under discussion. II WIS AT MILA.V. llf Arraigned tbe Administration In Forcible Terms. I'.BPUnUC Sl'ECIAL. Milan. Mo.. Oct. 24.

X401UI, AMERICA TO INSIST ON THE OPEN DOOR. United States Accept Only Two Articles of Anglo-German Agreement. THIRD ARTICLE IS VAGUE. While Germany Denies That thy Alliance Is a Menace to Any Power. Olher Nations Re tain Their Suspicions. i:i:i,rr:i.if special. Washington. Oct. It. In bis rfpons-e to the Brltl-h and German Governments re rardlng the Anglo-German agreement, Sec retarv Hay Is likely to make rnother effort to Induce nil the Pollers to join tn an agreement for the maintenance of the in tegrity of China and the preservation of the "open door." It It believed here that France end Ilus t.l.i will not decline to Join In such a dfclaration. and In view of the Anglo-Ger man r Iteration of the principles of the Integrity of China and the "open door" the London and Berlin Governments couIJ hardly avoid asentlng to such a proposal. Italy and Austria, which li.no assented to the Anglo-German agreement, will, of course, follow the lead of the German Lm peror. Count de Quad!, the German Charge d'AffnIre. has assured Secretary Hay. In accordanco with Instructions from Btrlln. that the Anglo-German agreement Involves no menace to any Power In China, and that there Is no foundation for the reports that there are any further or additional features In the agreement beyond tho-e transmitted to the various Government!, and made public. The authorities, neverthless. Insist that If this I true there was no necessity for the Insertion of article 3 in the agreement. It Is thought unlikely that tho two nations would specifically "reervo to themselves the right to enter Into a preliminary agree ment" for tho protection of their Interests unless they understood In advance Just what they proposed to do. Must Preserve an "Open Iloor." The L'nited State will formally accept the principles set forth In the first two articles of the agreement, and It Is likely that Secretary Hay will then make a move contemplating an agreement of all the Power respecting the preservation of the Integrity of China and the maintenance of the "open door." and omitting any declara tion which might be twisted Into n menace against one of the nations Interested. It U now raid that In all probability Gen eral James II. Wilson, the second In com mand In China, will soon be detached, but will remain In Pekln. Instead of halng the negotiations for a final settlement con ducted through a commission In behalf of the United States Government, as at tlrt proposed, it begin" to appear that they will be conducted through the simple mechanism of the American Legation at PUln. Copies have been received ot the British .Blue Book on the uprising In China. It gives mucn diplomatic correspondence not heretofore made public, the point of which Is contained In a statement made by the British Ambassador at Paris that the Vnited States would not take part In the propo-ed naval demonstration at Taku. Tho correspondence shows that the bombard ment of the Taku forts was ulanne.1 lour In advance and that all the Powers agreed to tho bombardment excepting the United Slates. Contrary to general Impression, it appears n'fo from the correspondence that Russia gave her comment to Japan sending a largo emergency force Into China, and that tho leal oprositlon to tho Japuneso plans camo from Germany.

Every wher the expressions as to the proposed n.cthod of raising the money necessary to making the project a success, have been very friendly. The people seem to realize that the.

Secretarv of 'War Root d-llvered a speech here to-night, vvhlih he had prepared for delivery at Youngs tonn, but In consequence of the death of John Sheiman was postponed. Mr. Root began by talking of prosperity, yajlng: "ThM happy condition has not been treated by government, but without good government It routd not have been created." He then reviewed the Spanish war and eulogized the President, "whose virtues plead turmpet-tongueJ." He said: "The Issues of lSsJ remain open, avowed. Insisted upon." Considering the question of the "consent of tho governed," Mr. Root said the doc trine "was applicable to the conditions for which JefTerson wroto lc and to the peoplo to whom he applied It." He continued: "Government does not depend upon con sent. The Immutable laws of justice and humanity require that people (.hall havo government, that the weak shall be pro tected, that cruelty and lust can be re strained, whether there shall be consent or not." "We have given to the people of Torto Rico the most munificent gift ever con ferred upon ono people by another the free markets of the United States." said Mr. Root, In speaking of the charge that tho administration had not dealt fearly toward the people of that Island. On trusts Mr. Root said: "Mr. Rryan says that trusts have grown to an unprecedented degree during the pres ent administration. Yesv the great Industrial enterprises whlrh are opening the whole world to American markets have grown beyond precedent. Some of them are mo nopolies and ought to be suppressed. Most of them have no element of monopoly what ever, except that which comes from selling cheaper than other competitors, and that Is not monopoly, but competition." Of the President's recommendation that the army be fixed at WWO. Mr. Root said: "That would be a reduction nnd not an Increase, as we have had ZT2S) soldiers un der nrnvs." The cook and mistress1 can't help talking Rbnut It. They would not If they could.
