appears to conaent to Germany's pro

Making whether It would not Ik? best
to open pence negotiations firnt ami to
make the punishment of the instigators
of the outrages the first subject of
-diHciiMMlon. According to the Herlin
correspondent Gennuuy will make n
new profMiHuI, namely, that the great
powers form an international court to
try the 4'hlnese officials accused of
complicity In the outrages.

Ing yesterday says: "The Russians re

Mukden, which has already reached
TJao Yang, nlout midway ts-tween
Nleu Chwang and Mukden. It will
probably encounter opioMitlon. Prince
Twin's ascendancy creates a very
It rare danger. The only hone for
foreigners Is that the pro-foreign vice

A semi-otticial communication to the
Cologne Gafcctte disavowing any desire
on the part of Germany to execute the
instigators of tin outrages on the
trength of the testimony of the for

on the question of guilt and would pro
nounce sentence. To look on compla
cently while a mockery or justice such

enacted would meau a renewal of the

C3KKMANV STICKS TO IT
America's Answer Ie Not Alter th
Kaiser's Intentions.
Berlin. Sept. .-. The refusal of th
United States to accede to Germany'
proposition regarding the PHnese set
tlcmeiit is prominently coiumented up
on by the entire German press. In
.spite of the previous intimations
through Washington's cablegrams, the
refusal has come as a great surprise.
A high foreiirn official referring tc
the matter, said: "Germany adheres
tlrmly to her proposition. She has no
occasion to doubt that favorable ans
mers will come from all the other pow
rs. We have received hints that Kits
nia will ngree to the German note and
the same course is confidently exiectei
of Jaian and Great Krltain. We hoi
the answer f the I'nited States is not
final, especially In view of the possi
bility that was iuilucnccd by tem
porary conditions."
The press comment varies widely, al
though generally in a tone of disap
proval and regret. The Yossisehi
eitnng deplores the "evidences ;
jet-owing discord among the powers.
:atwl predict a singly breaking up o
4nvrteI action. The Frankfnrte

MS BEEN NO CLASH
rreseneo of Troops In the
Mining District Pro
duces No Trouble.
NO OVERTURES TO JEND
Xeither the Operators Nor the Min
ers are Willing- to Make Advances
Looking to Settlement.
Mine Workers Officials Express Satis
faction Regarding- Progress of
the Strike.
riiiiadelidiia, Sept. 25. Instead of
the expected clash between the troops
and striking miners In the Schuylkill
region yesterday a peaceful calm ier
vaded the region and there was not
the slightest disorder for the soldiers
to be eeJled upon to quell. In fact In
all of the districts of the anthracite
?oal fields the day was extremely quiet
there being no demonstrations what
ever on the part of the strikers. While
the operators claim that a number ot
their employes have returned to work
at the mines in the Schuylkill region it
is evident that oM-rations have not
nssmutrd the activity which the mine
owners had anticipate! and indications
are that daily tiiere will be more idle
collieries.
The soldiers are moving over tln-
roails leading to the collieries in
Schulyfcill county and thus afford pro-
teetioii to those desiriotis of returning
to work. No OpiMisition is encountered
however, and not a great many have
availed themselves of the protection
offered.
The strike leaders claim many ad
ditlons to their ranks and President
Mitchell himself estimates that the
striking force was augmented yester
day to the extent of l.Soo to 2.0O0. No
ovcrtor-'s to end the struggle have
la-en offered by either side. The strike
leaders are is-cupying themselves in In
ducing mine workers to quit and the
ojM'rators are endeavoring to mine all
the tal they can with their reduced
forces. Meantime coal shipments from
the mines are dally growing less ami
reports Of advances in prices for the
commodity are received from all trad
ing sections.
SIXI.KX SILKNCE
Neither Side In the Contest Will Ap
proach the Other r'or Peace.
nazolton. Pa., Sept. 25. Contrary to
the expectations of Isith the operators
and the striking coal miners, there art
no sNehil developments In the strike
situation la the I.eliigh region. It was
thought in some quarters that owing
to the presence of tnsijis in the an
thracite held a break would occur in
the ranks of the strikers or that a large
number of additional men would re
frain from going to work. The opera
tors as a rule predicted a break in the
strikers' ranks and uiltor leaders were
equally sure they would tie up this
region tighter than ever.
Roth sides claim they have made
gains. It seems, however, from the
most reliable resirts received here
from the entire region that the strikers
have made a net gain in point of num
lers. When Mr. Mitchell was asked if the
striking miners had rec-elved any ben
fits from the T'nited Mine Workers of
America since the strike was Inaugu
rated, he simply said: "No." There Is
not the slightest change in the situa
tion in regard to a settlement of the
lalmr war. Neither side lias approaeh
d the other and there Is nothing in
view which would indicate that any
thing will soon lie done in that direc
tion. The I'pitod Mine Workers arf
still devoting most of their attention
to getting out the men while the opera
tors are doing the lsst they can with
their crippled forces.

SHUPPERT FREE
FR09I THE CHARGE OF
SIl'RDER EXONER
ATED Bt the Grand nrr in Their Report
That Was Filed Yesterdav Afternoon
Xethiot in the Analysis to Instil
Abt Charge Whatever Against the
Old Soldier.
The grand jury j esterday made a
report in the Shuppert ease. The
report was that there was no evi
dence that wo.ud justify holding Mr.
Shuppert on any charge whatever,
A qualitative and quantitative anal
ysis had been made by I. V. Smith
of East Ohio street, Indianapolis, a.
the expense of the parents of Jo
hanna Follett. ' The analysis had
disclosed the fact that there was
nothing in the medicine that Shup
pert had not claimed fdtV it, and
that the ingredients in it were
used in smaller proportions than they
are often administered by physicians
in regular practice. The only sub
stance that vas known to have ever
injured anyone at any time was iot
assium bromide, and that was a re
mote case in England. The sub
stances were all of the sort that are
never labeled poison, and all were us
harmless to administer as the ordi
nary household remedies. Therefore
there was no grounds on which to
hold the man. The graud jury re
turned one indictment not for publi
cation until after some arrests are
made.and as their work was tlone they
received their usual set of com
pliments and were discharged. They
had got through their work with
unusual dispatch and celerity.
The prosecutor further stated in
exoneration of the old soldier Shup
pert, that the grand jury had wit
nesses from ten families in which
this medicine had been used, and
that in each case no evil effects had
been noticed. The medicine had
been used not only harmlessly but
with apparent benefit.
Shuppert was at once released from
the county jail, and he returned to
his home at Indianapolis, a happy and
free man. lie will perhaps not be
found to have offended the U. S.
revenue laws by not affixing stamps,
as his bottles were not labeled and
as he sold the preparation in varying
quantities. All who knew the man
at home or who came in contact with
him while here are satisfied that he
has been accorded justice.

expected some time since, but of latv
he had been so much improved that
his demise came as a shock to the
family, as well as to the entire com
munity. He was a son of Rev. Orange .
Lemon, one of the most prominent
Methodist ministers in Indiana, in
his dav. There is one brother dead.

SUBSIDY CARRIED.
Harrison Township Gives a Handsome
Majority for the C. K. & M.
Subsidy Construction
Xews.
The C. R. & M. subsidy election in
Harrison township. Union county,
was held yesterday aud resulted iu a
majority of nineteen for the subsidy.
At the former election, there was a
majority of fourteen against the
subsidy which makes a gain this
time of thirty-three votes. The
amount asked is f 10,000.
The "Myrtle," a small locomotive
to be used in the construction of the
C. R. A M. near Thistlethwaite's
pond, was hauled to that point this
morning from Gaar, Scott &. Co. "s
by one of their traction engines, in
charge of Horace Logan, jr.. the
foreman of the boi ler shop. Several
hundred feet of rails are laid and the
locomotive will be used in shifting
small dump cars from the point
where the deep cut is being made
by the steam shovel, to the other
end where it is necessary to fill ia.
The engine is quite small, but is
capable of handling ten car-loads at
one time. It is thought that it will
be in running order by tomorrow,
when both steam shovels will again
be put to work, after an idleness of
two or three days. The scene at this
point is a busy one and a large num
ber of men and teams are at work.
