8 DISCUSS THE SITUATION
* National Officials to Canvass the Field
Before issuing Orders For the Men
” to Return to Work—Action Expected
At an Early Day.
1 Hazelton, Pa., Oct. 24.—The meeting
: of the national executive board of the
1 United Mine Workers and the officials
’ of the three anthracite districts whose
1 men have been on a strike for over five
weeks began today. This meeting, it is
1 believed, will take positive action as to
' whether the strike shall be declared off
at a certain time. It is not thought that
J- the official notice ending the contest
will be issued at this meeting. It is the
1 intention of President Mitchell to make
[' a thorough canvass of the situation, as
j the action taken yesterday by the super
i intendents of the several coal companies
b at Scranton in adding 2% per cent to the
car or ton in order to make up the 10 per
cent net increase in wages is not thor
oughly understood at strike headquar
'■ ters here, and none of the officials will
' venture an opinion until they satisfy
3 themselves with regard to the meaning.
f Although the strikers prefer this
3 method of making up the 10 per cent by
6 adding to the car rather than by figur
-3 ing it out entirely m the powder reduc
' tion fight, they think the 2>g per cent is
3 not quite enough to make up the 10 per

’ f 1.50 an additional 7% per cent is given
■ the men, thus making the 10 per cent.
advance.
The notices posted by those companies
will be carefully analyzed and it is be-
1 lieved on the result oi this analysis de
| pends the early end of the strike.
The labor leaders are anxiously await-
1 ing an official announcement by the big
1 coal companies in the Lackawanna re
' gion guaranteeing the payment of the
! 10 per cent advance until April 1. It is
1 understood that these companies have
1 unofficially stated that they will con
-1 tinue to pay the increase until that
time, but the strike leaders would rather
1 have them make the statement officially.
Secretary Hartlln Talks.
! Shamokin, Pa., Oct. 24.—A long dis
tance telephone message from President
* Mitchell was received here late last
: night by George Hartlin, secretary of
district No. 9 of the United Mine Work-
1 ers, summoning him to Hazelton to at
tend an importance conference. Hart
lin is a member of the executive board.
Before leaving for Hazelton he said the
' conference would likely declare the
' strike off.
SECOND DAY IN MARYLAND.
Bryan Appeals to the Negroes and
, Farmers.
Easton,. Md., Oct. 24.—The Demo
cratic presidential candidate last night
came down Chesapeake bay from Balti
more to the hamlet of Claiborne, on th*
eastern shore of Maryland. This after
noon he spoke at the towns of St. Mi
chaels. Easton, Preston, Hurlock, Vien
na, Salisbury and Berlin.
At St. Michaels, the first stopping
place of the day, Mr. Bryan spoke to a
small number of people who had con
gregated there. Among those in the
crowd were some negroes and to them
Mr. Bryan addressed himself to some
extent.
Easton was the scene of a large gath
ering. This is the county seat of Tal
bott county, an important agricultural
center, and Mr. Bryan addressed him
self especially to the farmers. Referring
to the trusts Mr. Bryan told his hearers
that they were especially dangersous to
the farming community.
Speech at Salisbury.
Salisbmmy, Md., Oct. 24.—Mr. Bryan
had a fine audience here and in a brief
speech contrasted the Republican and
Democratic platforms. He again gave
his definition of a private monopoly and
a government patent.
“No man,’’ he said, “can mistake
what we mean when we say we are op
posed to a private monopoly. We mean
that we are opposed to that monopoly
by which all the industry of a certain
kind can be controlled by one man so
that one man tells what you will have
to pay; you must take a fixed price for
the raw material that you sell and
fixes charges for labor. That is the mo
nopoly we are opposed to.’’
Brief Speech at Vienna.
Vienna, Md., Oct. 24.—1 n his talk
here Mr. Bryan compared the govern
ment to a composite photograph, and
that in a photograph of that character
each face is impressed upon, so in a gov
ernment, each individual should make
himself felt in the composition of his
government.
His Last Stopping Place.
Berlin, Md., Oct. 24.—This was Mr.
Bryan’s last stopping place in Mary
land. Here he was met by a Delaware
escort committee.

Roosevelt, on the third day of his second
electioneering tour of New York state,
arose about 8 o’clock and breakfasted at
9 o’clock. He was in good health and
suffered a little from hoarseness.
At Earlville, where the first stop of
the day was made, the governor took up
the statement of Mr. Bryan that the
people of Porto Rico, particularly the
blacks were disfranchised.
Governor Roosevelt took particular
delight along the route in asserting that
Mr. Bryan was absolutely insincere as
was proved, he alleged, by the fact that
the state of Nebraska lias no labor laws
and that Mr. Bryan while in congress
I never attacked a trust.

CONVENTION WITH
COMBINED POWERS
Li Hung Chang and Ching
Make a Proposition.
BASIS FOR NEGOTIATIONS
Document Presented to the Ministers
Outlining the Questions to Come Up
For Settlement—Chinn Is Willing to
Pay Just Indemnities.
Peking, Oct. 24.—A preliminary con
vention between China and the com
bined powers has been proposed by
Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang. It
is as follows:
Article 1. Laying siege to the lega
tions of foreign ministers is a high of
fense against one of the important prin
ciples of international laws. No coun
try can possibly tolerate such a thing.
China acknowledges her great fault in
this respect, and promises that it wiU
never occur again.
Article 2. China admits her liability
to pay an indemnity for the various
losses sustained on this occasion and the
powers will each appoint officials to ex
amine and present all claims for a final
consultation and settlement.
Article 8. A$ to future trade and gen
eral international relations, each power
should designate how these matters are
to be dealt with, whether the old treaties
should continue, or new convantions
should be made, slishtly adding to the
old treaties or cancelling the old treaties -
and negotiating new ones. Any of these
plans may be adopted and when China
has approved them further special regu
lations can be made in each case as re
quired.
Article 4. This convention will be
made by China with the combined pow
ers to cover the general principles which
apply alike to all. After this settle
ment, the foreign ministers will remove
the seals they caused to be placed in va
rious parts of the tsung 11 yamen and
then the yamen ministers may go to the
yamen and attend to business as usual
And further, each power should arrange
its own special affairs with China so
that separate treaties may be settled in
due order. When the various items of
indemnity are ail arranged property or
an understanding has been reached
about them the powers will successively
withdraw their troops.
Article 0. The troops sent to China by
the powers was for the protection of the
ministers and no other purpose; when
the negotiations begin for peace each
power should first declare an armistice.
