Tea Per Cent Increase Does Washington, Oct. 2.—The war department has received by mail from General Chaffee in China copies of two orders Issifed by him to the troops of the China relief expedition. One Of the orders particularly praises the gallantry of the troop* in the battle of Yang-twin and the other, issued in Peking, details the different commands for the guarding of the city. The first order is dated Tsai-tsun, Aug. 8. and is as follows: Described by Woman Who Went Through It. A primary difference between the presidential election in the United States and a general election In Great Britain, writes Henry W. Lucy in the October Forum, is that while one contest is avowedly a matter of personal preference the other is ostensibly, often actually, a conflict around certain broadly defined principles. It is true that while Disraeli and Gladstone were yet alive aud confronted each other in the political arena tlie fight raged as closely and distinctly around a name and a personality as is the custom at presidential elections. In 1874 and in 1880 the electors throughout the kingdom did not profess to vote either as Liberals or Tories. They voted for Gladstone or Disraeli.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2.—The mine operators of the Wyoming, Lackawanna and Lehigh regions at a meeting at Wilkesbarre followed yesterday's action of the Reading company in offering an increase of 10 per cent in wages to the mine workers. They furthermore decided to reduce the charge for powder from $2.75 to $1.50 per lu?g. The latter price has prevailed at the Reading company's mines for a long time. "The major general commanding the United States forces of the Chinese relief expedition takes this occasion to commend the high soldierly qualities of energy and endurance so generally manifested under prolonged hardships of more than unusual severity. In the battle of Yang-tsun, fought on Monday, the 6th inst., the Fourteenth infantry, though suffering heavy losses from shell, shrapnel and musketry fire, bore itself with steadfast gallantry, and while he laments and sympathizes with the regiment in the loss of so many brave menj the record made is one of which every true soldier may well feel proud. The entire command participated in the battle of more than five hours' duration under the most trying conditions of heat and fatigue, from which large numbers of men were prostrated, but it is by the exercise of endurance and fortitude by the soldier under such circumstances that contribute largely to success. Throughout the command there was ever a ready and creditable response to ev- j ery demand. While further hardships may await the command in relieving our beleaguered countrymen the major general commanding confidently relies upon the soldierly Rpirit so generally and con spicuously manifested and believes every true soldier will be stimulated to renewed efforts in making the- historic mission in this little army a complete success." x San Francisco, Oct. 2.—Mrs. M.

"There Were huudreds of maimed, bleeding and burued native Christians all about us, all of whom had barC% escaped the wrath of the mob with their lives. I saw little children with spear wouuds all over their bodies aud mauy others, young men, women and children, bleeding and burned. THE CHINESE SITUATION The action of the Wilkesbarre meeting means an increase of 10 per cent to all mine workers except miners. The latter will earn an increase of about 10 per ceut by reason of the reduced cost of powder. With the passing away of those colossal figures the British general election has reverted to its former manner. Lord Salisbury is a statesman who, even beyond the limits of the party pale, is held in the highest esteem. But his is not a to conjure with at the polls. On the other side, Mr. Gladstone has left no successor. Accordingly the forthcoming general election will be fought, as far ns ministerialists can control It, on the question of the war In South Africa, while opposition candidates will endeavor to concentrate the attention aud Judgment of the electors on the shortcomings of the administration in respect to the conduct of the war and on the sins of omission and commission committed by the government during their more than Ave years' term of office. Another fundamental difference between the two electoral campaigns appears In their Inception and direction. A presidential election Is a more or less well ordered battle, every movement being directed by the commander In chief on either aide. A British general election is a aeries of independent skirmishes, taking place all over the country, each under local command, owning no supreme general, observing no common plan of battle. The British voter knows nothing of delegates, conventions or party managers. lie walks Into the polling booth aud votes directly for the man of his choice. It is true that both the Conservative (now the Union 1st) aud tlie Liberal parties have a paid official who Is supposed to undertake general supervision of party interests in the electorate throughout the kingdom. He Is generally consulted by constituencies lu the selection of a candidate. What he tenders In response Is advice, not Instruction. Nothing is calculated more quickly to put up the back of a constituency than any movement having the appearance of dictation from London. minor Telegraphic Notes from SyrupTigs Arrand the WorM.

None returned to work at the Reading company's collieries in response to the notice of higher wages, and in fact many who had been at work there quit and joined the ranks of the strikers. As a result there were fewer collieries in operation yesterday in the Schuylkill region than at any time since the strike was inaugurated.

They had al ready protested against the arrangements nboard the ship and at being sent to China. Twenty of the men jumped overboard into the canal and tried to escape. The officers fired on them, but only four wem caught. These men were placed in irons. Almost simultaneously fire was discovered in the hold of the transport, the fuel having beeu saturated wtth kerosene. Rigorous repressive measures were taken when the vessel reached Colombo, Ceylon. "The Boxers were not wanting in diligence and one night captured the wall held by our forces. It was the wall of Peking that separated us from the native city.
