Li Hung Chang is credited by Joa nuin Miller, in an interview in the Japan Times, with saving that if ithad tbeen known that there was not much loot in Pekin the allied forces would not have been in such a hurry to get there. The total number of anthracite miners employed in the entire Wyom tlug, Pa., district is 14.',420o, and the average amount of wages paid them ,per month, at $20 per man, including 'breaker boys and all hands, is $2,848, -000.

Governor Sayors' Estillnate of the Casualtles of the Flood. Governor Sayers of Texas furnishes the Associated Press with the follow iug: "The loss of life occasioned by the to()rl in (Ialveston and elsewhere on tile southeallsternt coast cannot be less than 12,000 lives, while the loss of property will piroiably reach $20,000, 000. Notwithstanlinog this severe aflliction, I have every confidence that the strickel n distri:ts will rapidly survive a111t that lialveston, from heril preselrt, dles(olation and horrowl , will arise witih renewed strength and vigor. "To the people of the United States, whose imagnificent generosity and prompt action have done so much for the relief of the storm sufferers, I, as governor, beg to tender my most profound and most grateful acknowl edgiments, assuring them that their generous benefactions will be held in lasting rcmemubrance by the people of 'f'exas. "The situation in all parts of the stricken district, so far as known to me, is improved, and will, I believe, should we have fair weather, continue to imnprove. The method of distrib uting the contributions of the people has become systematic and is reduced to the lowest expense possible, and in this I have had the hearty and volun tary assistance of the railroad, tele graph and telephone companies, all of whlm have promptly and without charge transmitted supplies and mes sages, besides contributing to the relief of the sufferers. Galveston is being managed by its own municipal authorities, supplemented by the assistance of comlmittees appointed of its best citizens, and also by the aid of General Scurry. POWERS CANNOT AGREE. Germany's DemanItlld for Punishmenlllt of Box 's. is not S.npported. The powers have definitely split on their policy in China. Following im mediately the demands of Germany for punishmn(.t of the leaders of the revolt as a preliminary to negotiations, France and Russia have announced their purpose to go ahead with the peace negotiations. As F!rance is acting with Russia, this determination appears to remove any prospect of a modilication of the IRus so-Iranco determination to withdraw from Pekin. It also disposes of all questions as to the credentials of Li HIung Cthang. and places France in a position of being readiy to proceed on the credentials lie has brought for ward. The German note is based on the theory that no peace negotiations can go on until the Chinese malefactors are surrendered. On the other hand the iFranco-lltusian attitude contem plates proceeding with the peace nego tiations at the earliest feasible time, without attaching any indispensable eondition as to the prior surrender of the Chinese offenders.

Rabbits which have received injections of this poisonous ingrelient of the human body have succumbed in convulsions within a few hours. I`~- --" ~ -- - BUTTE'S POPULATION Glan of More Thanl 184 rer' Cent. in Ten Years. The population of Butte, Mont., as officially announced, is as follows: 1900, 30,470;L1830. 10,723. These figures show for the city as a whole an in crease in ponulation of 19,747, or 184.16 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. The popu labion in 1880 was 3,363, showing an increase of 8,360, or 213.85 per cent. from 1880 to 1800. No other western city of prominence has made so great a gain as Montana's great mining camp. BIG STRIKE INAJUIS RTE.D. a Miners I the Anthraeite Coal Agble.s Demand ltedreras. The great strike of the miners in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania, which represents practically the hard coal output of the world, began Meon day. According to Presilent Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of Amer r ira, who i.. personally directing the strike from his headquarters at Hazel stoe, the success of the first day's efforts to tie up the mines exceeded the ex r, pect'tions of the strike leaders. The hard-coal region is divided into four great districts, the Lackawanna, Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuylkill re gions. In the first two, representing nearly 90.00o men, the tie-up is practically complete. Only one mine, employing a few hundred men, is being operated, and this, the strikers say, that they hope to close soon. In the Lehigh region the situation is a stand-off, about 8,000 of the 16,000 employees having quit. Priuci-ally because the union has comparatively little strength in the Schuylkill and workmen there have no decided grievance, as in other districts, the strike was not general among the upward of 50,000 employed. Indica tions point to the closing soon of some mines in the last-named district. Nearly all" the efforts of the strike leaders are being devoted l,o organize the men in the weak Schuylkill and Lehigh regions and their organizers and orators are redoubling their efforts. SACKS FULL OF H'LADS. .hines.e Iuxers were IPaid for Murdering 1'oreisnur-s. Among the advices brought by the "1'reconshire" from China were stories of the arrest of Chinese with the heads of foreign soldiers in sacks. It seems that head money of fifty teals is paid for each head. This fact was brought to light by the discovery of the private papers of Viceroy Yu Lu of Tien Tsin. In his day book there is an entry which reads: "Taels 100 paid for the heads of two American marines killed in the advance for the relief of Tien Tsin. Taels 50 for the two guns cap tured on the same occasion. The entry explains many gastly in cidents which have been recounted of the killing of wounded. When Capt. Beyts and three marines with him fell at the engagement before Usi arsenal attempts were made to decapitate them. The next night some Chinese were found hidden in the millet and trying to escape were bayoneted. One clung with great pertinacity to a bag, which, when opened, was found to contain the head of a United States marine, Gun ner Watkins. BANK TELLER A SUICIDE. Shortage of 6.0,000 In ills Accounts Causes Tragedy.

Before the bank teller sent a bullet into his heart he wrote a farewell note to his mother, in which he said: "I was weak and let one Ioonsidered my best friend get me into trouble. I have not seen him since the 1st of Sep tember, and do not know where he is." Officials of the bank believe that the friend referred to is William B. Dun ton. Dunton and Forbes were both employed by the Union National bank at the time that institution was taken into the First National. RED MEN ON WARPATH. Indian Outbreak Threatened in Colorado.

H-3nt, mission aries, who escaped from the extreme western province of China, have ar rived at San Francisco. They were among the last of the missionaries toy leave China. They had a journey of 1900 miles across the country when they received the American consular warnings to leave the country, but as they were in a district where the trou ble did not begin early they eucous tered no violence. The hev. Mr. Peat says that the Chi. nese are rapidly arming themselves without the assistance of foreign man ufacturers of war materials. "There are arsenals in the capitals of nearly all the provinces," said the missionary, "and it is of little use now for the powers to agree that they will not ex port any more weapons or ammunition to China. The Chinese have learned how to make modern weapons for themselves. At Chentu they are turn ing out first-class Mauser rifles in large quantities." GALVESTON WILL REBUILD. Reconstruction Will be on a More Substian tial Meanner to Wthstand Future Storms. Congressman R. 1B. Hawley, who was in Washington at the time of the storm, arrived at Galveston Friday. He said: "Work of vast importance is to be undertaken here on different lines than heretofore. "Storms of more frequency and of greater intensity visit the coast of England, the great lakes and the New England coast. If they build as we build, they would be down and out nearly every year; but they build structures to stay, and we must rebuild our city in a manner that will resist the gales, as they do. "This port is all right. The fullest depth of water remains. The jetties, with slight repair, are intact, and be cause of these conditions, which exist nowhere else, for the territory and people it serves, the restoration will be more rapid than may be thought, and the city will become as prosperous and secure as any part of our prosperous country."
