HtaBplMg Ground. London, Oct. 9.—Berlin's optimistic views on the Chinese situation have been unfavorably affected by the reports that the Chinese court has resolved to settle permanently at Si-ngau-fu. This the Berliner Tageblatt regards as "indisputable evidence that the Chinese court ia as antiforeign as ever." Hacleton, Pa., Oct. 9.—-President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers has issued a call for a convention to be held in Scranton next Friday.

There will be a general rennlon of the veterans of all the armlea, who have filled the town, the pine and the Qray harmonizing moat happily. The Spanish-American war veteraua are also here In large numbers. Arrangements were completed some time ago for the Inspection, by the veterans of all the armies engaged about Chattanooga, of the historical tablets, monumental Inscriptions and location of lines of battle upoo the seven battlefields embraced In the Chlokemaugua and Chattanooga Park, the object being to secure verification or I correction by partloipanta In the battles of the historical work thus far completed. This Inspection hss the approval of the Secretary of War. Special to the Gasstts. Walter O. Wetherbee has placed in the hands of the authorities an affidavit made by himself nearly a year ago concerning a proposition then made to him by Charles F. Jones, who Is said to have asked him to prepare a will making Jones a residuary legatee of William M. Rice. Mr. Wetherbee in his affidavit asserts that Jones said to him that he would guarantee to have Rice's signature properly affixed to the will after it had been prepared. Mr. Wetherbee further asserts that Jones proposed to make him one of the executors of the will, and for his share in the transaction he was to receive $500,000. This story is vigorously denied by Jones and Patrick and by their counsel, Frederick B. House. To the accusation they answer that Wetherbee was inspired by personal animosity against Jones.
