But there Is- considerable po litical enthusiasm in Ohio. a....;... ...... OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 5. Were it a -Presidential year Instead of an off year the Republi cans would certainly deem themselves in desperate straits. In the East there is great uneasiness and dissatisfaction. Con sumers are making great complaints about the high prices. Some are saying that they would be willing to see a little less prosperity and more reasonable prices for fuel, flour, meat and all provisions neces sary for life. The constantly rising ten dency -of prices hits many wen who have had nq way of sharing' in the profts. This Is true of the salaried men, "and these axe making complaints. . Few salaries have been raised, and as" prices of necessaries soar these men are wondering whether the prosperity which the Republicans say is a result of the tariff is such a eood thing after all. These murmurlngs are trrowintr louder all the time and It may have a disastrous effect' upon the coming elec tions. People coming from all sections of the Eastern country report a 'feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction and many of the shrewder Republicans are . thankful that this' is not a Presidential year. Even Quay Is Disturbed. Reports from Pennsylvania, which gave McKinley at one time 3(K),000.maJority, In dicate that this rock-ribbed Republican stronghold Is in a state of turmoil and that Republican success is threatened. Quay is very much, disturbed. He began- long'ego an attempt to settle the strike. He is credited with having urged the Pres ident to his recent action. And now Quay has caused it to b glveruout that he will support John Dalzell f dr speaker. The "Old Fox" must be in rather des-' perate straits when he makes that an nouncement.' for Dalzell has always been against him and' has been strong' enough to defy him. Dalzell allowed his name, to be used in tthe Legislature for the purpose of drawing votes from Quay and prevented. Quay's election four years ago.- Of course there is no "hope tor Dalzell, as bis popularity in the House is much less than that of several other candidates that have been elected, and Quay is probably banking on this fact. Stone Playing: With .Strike. , In connection with this Pennsylvania sit uation it should be added that Governqr Stone, as well as Quay, is playing politics in . the strike 'situation. Stone wants to succeed Penrose, who was Quay's choice and Quay's man. Stone is trying to make a record which will enable him to control the Legislature. Quayjs just as anxious on the other hand, and so far as the nom inations have been made the Quay ma chine will be successful, unless the strike and other disturbances cause a Republican slump which will tupi the state over to the Democrats. Stone has announced that he will be out of public life at the end of his. term. but he is anxious for the Senatorshlp. He does not wish to offend the laboring ele ment and has refused the demands of the coal corporations to havp a regiment at every mine. On the other hand, he has not called the Legislature in session to take such measures . with the corpora tions as might end the strike. He is crit icised by both sides and it is evident that he should have either made it possible f or the operators to no longer claim lack of protection, or attempted legislation which would .have controlled corporations. But even if he had not been successful, the, corporations would have been his enemy. At times the coal barons tell the truth and they constantly assert that there has been too much polilcs In the strike. , Factional Row in Iovra. The Iowa'Republican situation, as a re suit of the determination of Governor Cummins to force tarlff"'revisIon to the front and the members of- Congress to make the tariff plank of the platform.' In operative, has. caused 'wide division in the party ranks. Henderson's retirement was an. Incident of this" 'party strife It is evident that other members of the dele gatlon are not anxious to have Blrdfcall, nominated in Henderson's place, elected, and would vieW with a great deal of com placency his defeat by ''Boles. Some mem. bers of .the delegation have refused t speak In his district or support the Iowa plank. Others, more conservative, like Lacey, have already publicly warned Rirdsall that he Is going too far. On the other hand, -Birdsall Is determined to car ry out the ideas of Cummins. An additional r'eason for the retirement of Henderson Is given by his friends, who say that Governor Cummins made a num ber of state appointments in Henderson's district, and these men were constantly at, work building' up a Cummins machine arid flKhtfnsr the SDeaker. Thev were mstklng it decidedly uncomfortable for Henderson, and began to dictate to him through Cummins in a way that he pro nounced "Intolerable." M It is known that Ddlilver Is with the Cummins faction andHenderson also be lieves that Allison has joined Cummins, and that on effort was being' made to control the speaker, which Henderson could not stand. It, possible that the factional row will alTect the elections next month, as some of the 'districted are far from safely Republican. . s . Hill's Shrewdness in Xew York.' Hill ia Jh, the saddle of the New York Democracy, and he forced Coler's nomin ation because he did not want a stronger man, for he is playing all the time in the interest of Hill for President. Yet this does not remove the" gloom that hangs over the Republican camp. Hill, who fought the income tax and could not stand for Bryan's Populism in 1896, put In the platform the plank for Government ownership of the .coal mines. This is growing more and more popular throughout New York as the price of coal goes up, and. many people cannot get a supply at any prfce., Xf It continue to November Hill counts -on the despera tion of men to indorse that plank fey vot ing the Democratic ticket, and the Re publicans fear that such will be the re sult. Odell Is a strong ymanj but he can not cope with weapons such as Hill is using when a fuel famine is the. only fact the public Is considering. l Ohio a Barninjr Spot.

The Democrats are using the some what brutal frankness of Hanna, especial ly the phrase, "Stand pat." They say that it is the arrogance of the trusts pro tected by the tariff. But it does not ap pear that this interest overflows into oth er states. Boer a Democrat and Free Trader. 'T am a Democrat and an out-and-out, free trader," was a remark of George P. Baer to a number of newspaper men while in Washington. Baer is president of the Reading Railroad and the head and front of the operators' combination which controls the output of anthracite coal. He went on to remark that he was interested in a number of manufacturing concerns, but that he .believed absolutely in free trade and.

Enrope to Meet "American Danger." ROME, Oct. 5.-Slgno Iuzzati. ex Minister of Finance, has contributed an article to the Neue Freie Presse, of Vienna, in which he suggests a conference of European statesmen and economists in an attempt to arrive at an understand ing on the subjects of trusts and com bines, and he says that customs tariffs and treaties are but fragile armor. Slgfc nor Luzzatl's Idea is supported by other Italian economists and by the press, who decldre. that Europe must adopt the means to'meet the "American danger." Clpsc for Want of Coal. ' NEWCASTLE, Pa., Oct. 5. The Shenan go steel mill closed down at midnight ow ing to the failure to, secure coal for the boilers. The plant employs about 1000 men, and is one of the main industries of the city. The order was unexpected. All of the Industrial plants In the She nango Valley are having trouble in se curing coal.

President Roosevelt yesterday had a three-hour conference with , Secretaries Root and Moody, - Attorney-General Knox, Postmaster-General Payne and Commissioner of Labor Wright, at the close of which, though no report was given out, the inference was drawn that the striking coal miners would be as'ked to return to work on the as surance of the .President that he would recommend to Concress and to the Governor of Pennsylvania that action be taken to examine into and remedy, so" far .as possible, the grievances the miners complain of. One of thp con ferees" dropped Ihe xemark that .the miners would soon be at work. WASHINGTON, Oct 5. In an earnest effort to expedite the adjustment of the coalrstrike problem, another conference over the situation was held at the White House today, and adjourned after three hours' deliberations. No statement was given out as to the conclusions reached, and every participant absolutely refused to discuss what had taken place during the meeting. "The conference was called for today, although it was Sunday, in view of the .extraordinary Importance to the Ameri can people of a speedy solution of the question. Besides the 'President, there were present at the conference. Secretary of War Root, Secretary of the' Navy Moody, Attorney-General Knox, Postmaster-General Payne and Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright. The last named was summoned to attend the con ference because of his expert knowledge of the region of the anthracite coal fields and because of his personal inves tigation of the conditions there, which he made some months ago at the Instance of the President If waCS" notable that only four of Use Vnembera oV- the Cabinet were toresent This, -however, waa owing to the fact that three of these four were lawyers, and that- the Issue involved was one which 'should be for the deliberation of trained legal minds. The fourth Cabinet officer. Postmaster-General Payne, has taken a prominent part In the prelimin ary conference over the coal situation, which led up to the conference with the railroad presidents .and miners' repre sentatives Friday, and besides has had a lifelong Identification with corporate In terests which are involved in the present miMiinn. Tho fact that Mr. Payne also has been one of the closest advisers for many years in the National councils of his oarty likewise is important in connec tion with the personnel of the confer ence. It began shortly after 10 o'clock this mnmlnir tho ttm flipil hv tho President. When those who were to participate ar rived at the White House in a drizzling rain, they found Surgeon-General Rlxey, of the "Navy, and Dr. Lung, the PresI denfs physician, already there, making the morning call on the distinguished pa tient This caused a delay of a few minutes. When the two physicans left it was reported that the President's con dition was progressing satisfactorily and that there were no untoward develop ments. President in Earnest. Expressing his views at the outset of the conference, the President talked ear nestly and with deep feeling. vHls voice at times could be heard downstairs. Sev eral times during the conference Secretary Cortelyou was summoned into the room and directed to prepare certain matters for the consideration of the President and of his advisers. This was taken to indicate that some action of one nature or another was about to be consummated. When, the conference adjourned, a few minutes before 1 o'clock, all those who had joined In it declined to talk. Every member of the Cabinet and Colonel Wright was pledged by "the President to absolute secrecy as to what had occurred within the conference room. The utmost efforts were made to guard against pub licity. Even the Presidential summons to the conference had been made in a very quiet and carefully guarded way. Not since the Spanish War has there been such reticence shown at a conference of this character as was observed 'today. In this state of absolute reticence on the part of the parties to the conference. it is almost impossible to do more than draw the most general of conclusions as to the nature of- the proceedings, based "upon .what preceded the meeting. The known facts are that the President has reached the conclusion that he has noth ing to efpect save refusal from a further appeal to the coal operators, and there fore has decided to look for relief from1 the .situation to the hilners side. He feels that be hardly can expect the miners to make the sacrifice o their contentions without holding out at least a promise of some return, and .the question before him is as tofhis ability to do this. He can pledge himself to appeal to Congress to examine into. the justice of the mintrs complaints and remedy them so far as lies in the power of the legislative branch, backed by the earnest good will of the 'Executive. Also, he can suggest to Gov ernor Stone, of Pennsylvania, that he cause the Pennsylvania Legislature like wise to make an Inquiry, perhaps hasten ing1 the usual methods by calling an ex tra session. But these pledges wojild-be given only on condition that the men go 'at once into the mines and get out with all speed the coal for which the people are suffering. Policy of Moral Suasion. To adopt this course means the con tinuance of the policy of exerting moral suasion to end the strike. It 'is certain that thus far the President has not found single one of his Constitutional advis ers who could suggest any departure from this policy; no one could find a method sanctioned by law or the Consti tution which promised relief and Involved the use of duress against either the oper ators or the miners. So it Is believed that today's conference was called by. the President for the purpose of putting in exact shape the details of a plan con ceived in its rough outlines even before the departure of President Mitchell last Friday. The three hours 6pent in consultation today were none too long to put into form the two propositions, one to the miners' organizations and the other to Governor Stone. The fact that Secretary Cortelyou was called on to prepare one or more statements at the direction of the President is taken as an Indication that messages were sent out at the end of the conference today, and, that the reti- bcuce ml au parties is explainable per haps by their desire to avoid the discour tesy of publishing the nature of these before they are received by the persons to wnom they are addressed, as well as by a wish to escape complication of the ne gotiations by heated public discussion at cms stage. That they parties to the conference reel that they have accomplished something was made evident by the expressed belief of one of tlie conferees that the miners would soon be again at work. One object of the conference was to consider some of the propositions that have been made to the President fnr- tt. tllng the strike. These came from every section of "the country and a large pro portion from men of standing and reputa tion. At the same time It is said that the suggestions often are absurd and imprac- utui. miners onering a possible solution already fyave received attention. Two constantly recurring propositions for Federal Interference, one that the United States troops be sent Into Pennsyl vania for the protection of the men the operators employ, and the other that the mines bo seized by the general Govern ment, are rejected, no matter hv whnm offered. The first conference deveinne the fact that no Federal interference by force was possible, and to that conclusion ihe President holds firmly. Some of the lmpraticable propositions made are offers to lease coal mines in other sections of the country to the Gov ernment so that it may furnish coal to the people. MITCHELL HAD XOTHIXG TO SAY. Bat Manner Indicated He Had Heard From Washington. WILKESBARRE. Pa., Oct. 5. Walter E. Weyle, who has done much work for United States Commissioner of Labor Car roll D. Wright In th anthracite fields, spent three hours with. President Mitchell this afternoon. Mr. Weyle being so closely Identified with. Mr. Wright, it was sur mised by the corps of' newspaper corre-' spondents Here that ho may have carried some messages to Mr. Mitchell from Washington, but both gentlemen denied that the visit had any significance. Mr. Mitchell said the visit was purely a social one. During the afternoon, Mr. Mitchell received a half-dozen telegrams. A correspondent of the Associated Press tonight asked President Mitchell in the presence of .Mr. Weyle what he had heard from President Rooaevelt, and his reply was: "Why do you ask? What have you heard?" He was informed that the President and his Cabinet 'had held a long conference today on the coal strike and he was asked if he had heard from the President's Cab inet. His answer this time was: "I have not heard from the Cabinet." " "Have you heard directly or Indirectly from Commissioner Wright?" "I do not care to say "anything." Mr. Mitchell was much Interested In what took place at Washington, but had nothing to say regarding the proposed plans tor ending the strike. ' Coal to Come Down the Ohio. CINCINNATI, Oct." 5. It is expected that the coal famine will be relieved here during the coming week by the present rise in the Ohio River, which will bring an abundance of fuel from Pennsylva nia, West Virginia and Ohio. Coal fleets In the Kanawha River and at Pittsburg are ready to move as soon as the stage of the river is such as to carry them to points In the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Navigation was partly resumed today. The large packets of the Big Sandy Com pany will start for points as far up the river as Portsmouth tomorrow. It is thought that navigation will be resumed in the Upper Ohio before the end of this week. APPOINT OF CANON LAW. Catholic Bride Did Xot Know Bride, groom was a Non-Catholic. ROME, Oct. 5 The statement Is made that the presence in Rome i at the end of this month of Mgr. Chappelle will result in decisive action with regard to the claims of Prince Rospigliosl In the matter of securing the performance of a religions ceremony with Princess Rospigllosl. The Reld-Parkhurst marriage was celebrated by Mgr. Chappelle when he was pastor of St. Matthew's Church Washington. Prince Rospigliosi threatens to create a scandal if his religious marriage with the Princess is not allowed. He maintains that Mgr. Chappelle did not obtain the nec essary dispensation for Mr. Parkhurst and that Miss Reia married -Mr. Parkhurst without knowing Jthat he was not of the Catholic fa'th. Princess Rospigllosl has appealed for the annulment of her mar riage with Frederick Parkhurst. The matter involves a point of canon law, decision Of which is considered as liable to affect thousands of marriages ot Cath olics to non-Catholics in the United States. The Princess was Miss Marie Reid, of Washington, D. C, who was married to Frederick Parkhurst, of Ban gor, Me. land Grant Railroad for Australia.
