OWNERS CAN END IT
With a Few More Notices-the
. Strike Will Be Over.
STATEMENT BY JOHN MITCHELL
Prospects Bright or rij. Early Set-
-tlemcnt of 'tbe Trouble Clash.
at Willcesb&rre.
HA2XETON, Pa., Oct. 22. President
Mitchell, In an Xnterylew tonight, prac
tically admitted that the anthracite coal
miners' strike would end as soon as the
operators presented a notice guarantee
ing the payment of 2. li) per cent -advance
in wages until April L President Mitch
ell said:
"The prospect of an early settlement ot,
the'coal strike is becoming brighter. Some
of the operators? have not. yet ported no
tices signifying: their willingness to fall
in line either with the Reading Company
or with the proposition made by the Le
irigh Valley Company, in the Hazleton re
Eipn, If all of them notify their -employes
toy posting notices or otherwise that an.
actual advance of 10 per cent, will be paid
each, mine employe, and ,guarantee Jts
continuance until April 1, tog-ether with
the abolition of the sliding scale, I be
lieve that the terms would tie accepted
toy the mineworkers. The reduction in
powder, from $2 75 to 150 has. confused
the minds of the miners, but some of the
operators have so fully explained "how,
contract miners could Teeelve the full ad--vance
of 10 .per cent,s w"elJL,as. all other
employes, that I believe jthai. this .obstacle
can be overcome."
Although, as President lilltchefr says,
the outlook for an early setilement of
Che strike is bright. It is difficult to make
a prediction as to when the end will
come. Borne of the coal companies are
showing a disposition not to issue a. second
notice guaranteeing the payment of the
lOvper cent Increase in wages until April.
Among these Are the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and western and Delaware & Hud
n, the officials of which companies are
reported to have declined to issue a sup
plemental notice. The labor leaders, how
ever, hope that the companies will fai
some way make "known that they will
HTuarantee the payment of the advance
until April 1. President Mitchell appeared
Quite cheerful tonight when he made the
announcement as above, and his manner
indicated that the time is near at hand
when all the anthracite miners now on
strike shall return to the mines. As soon
as all the notices guaranteeing the pay
ment of the advance until April 1 are
posted. President Mitchell will call a
meeting of the National Executive Board,
at which the strike will be declared off.
The largest demonstration ever held in
this city took place todny, when nearly
7000 miners paraded the streets. In a car
riage at their head rode President Mitch
ell, who received an enthusiastic ovation
all along the march. Thousands of min
ers, accompanied by their families, came
to the city from every mining town In
the region. There were 150 men in line
who had tramped 18 miles over the moun
tains from Panther Creek Valley. They,
with the McAdoo miners, --who are- famed
throughout the coal fields, for their perse
verance In marching and' closing collier
ies, were the heroes oFlhe-parade. Three
"bus loads of marching women of Mc
Adoo, and" 100 small creaker-boys, dressed
in their working clothes, and with lighted
lamps in their caps, were at the head of
the line. Immediately behind the carriages
containing the United Mineworkers offi
cials. Many mottoes expressing the sen
timents of the strikers were carried in
the procession. President Mitchell re
viewed the parade at the end of he route,
after which a mass meeting was held.
at( which- President Mitchell was the prin
cipal speaker.
Reports from the few coHIerie that are
still in operation in this- reglonishow that
the number of men at work today was not
greater than last -week. The number of
Coal & Iron policemen around the mines
has been somen hat Increased during the
last 48 hours. Strikers' pickets are also
numerous in the vicinity of themines. -;'
RUMOR OF'BXD OP STRIKE.
Report Reaches Scranton That
Mitchell AKree to Operatora Offer.
NEW YORK. Oct. 23. A special to the
World from Scranton says:
At midnight information was received
here that President Mitchell had agreea
to the operators' offer posted three weeks
ago, and that the strike is ended.
The news was received with great ex
cltement by both operators and strikers.
It is understood all the companies will
post notices, with the exception of the
Pennsylvania & Susquehanna Railroad.
-Notwithstanding this information, no
definite message on the subject has yet
been received from President Mitchell.
A ROW AT "WTLKESBARRE.
Ganff of Miners Set Upon by Strikers
and Women.
WHiKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 22. Discon
tent among the striking miners of the
Wyoming Valley is growing and unless
the strike is settled soon the miners will
hevhard to control. A majority of the
men are willing and anxious to go to
work.
The discontent of the strikers was
6hown at the works of the Lehigh &
Wilkesbarre Coal Company in the eastern
part of the city. A gang of men were
going'to work to screen coal on the bank
of the "Empire mine when they were set
upon by a mob of men,, and women and
boys. John J. OIHara, foreman of the
Sang, was knocked down with a stone
and his nose fractured. Several other
workmen were slightly injured. During
the melee several shots were fired. The
mob destroyed all the tools of the work
men. The trouble took place within the
city limits and a detachment of police
were ent to the scene. When they ar
rived they iound a large crowd of wo
men and boys, but very few men. The
local officers of the United Mineworkers
tffiy nono of their men engaged in the
fight. The police -found an effigy of
CHara hanging to a telegraph pole.
Owing to the trouble there was no work
on. the coal bank or, at the Stanton
washery, operated by the same company,
today. It is said QHra njade himself
oljjectionablo to the wives "of some of
the strikers by "boasting" that he would
work despite all opposition. This, angered
the women and on seevral occasions they
pelted him with stones.
Most of the companies have now posted
the explanatory note, as they call it, in
addition to their last offer to the strik
ers, and it will probably not be replaced.
The mining officials say they doubt if
the companies will go any further In
their negotiations with the men, as they
have granted them -powder for $1 50, as
they desired, and an increase In wages,
and they do not intend to change, as
the strikers have altered their demands.
There is no prospect of the union giving
the men any aid. The promise of Mitchell j
to Degin ine-aiscriDuuon or rood ana
money last Wednesday has nol been kept.
This evening there was another riot at
the Stanton washerles of the Lehigh &
WMlkosbarre Coal Company. " When the
men started to go to their homes under
the protection of coal 8 Iron- police., fully
6000 people had gathered. A telephone
message was sent to police headquarters
In this city for help, and Chief ot. Po
lice Jblne and a number of officers re
sponded. The men who had been at work
were put on board a small mine locomo
tive, but before the locomotive jcouldget

off and were knocked down and kicked,
but?7were rescued by the polices'' The
names of the. injured men are Bradley
rHoffman and John Dellsky. Hoffman was
so badly injured that he had to be taken
to the hospital.
As the officers were returning to head
quarters, the electric car on which they
rode was stoned. All the windows on one
side of the car, were broken, and Police
Sergeant Hall and two other passengers
were slightly injured. , Mayor Nichols
soon reached the scent?, and warned the
mob that they were -doing the cause of
labor more injury than good. Ho said
the law would bo upheld, and "that he
was there to uphold it. The Mayor's
speech had good'effect, and thermob slow
ly dispersed to their homes.

-SCRANTON Pa., Oct. 22. The first hos

in the Lackawanna region was made this
morning at OUphant, near here, where it
was determined to close down the Grassy
Island coal washery, operated by the" Del
aware 5: Hudson Company, The place
had been worked by 30 or 40 men during
the nast two weeks, and was dally turn
ing out 1000 tons of the smaller sizes
of fuel for the market.
This" morning several hundred strikers
gathered along the road near the -washery
and when the workmen appeared,
gave them to understand they must de
sist from the working until the strike
was settled. Two of the deputies at the
mine came on the scene and were warned
against, any Interference. The workmen
decided they would return home. The
strikers marched with them back to Oli

The Hillside, Temple and Connel Coal
Companies' are the only Independent op
erators in this district to comply with the
agreement of last Thursday's conference
of operators to post notices guaranteeing
the original offer until April 1. When
Interviewed as to why they did not com
ply with this agreement, the other big
operators said they thought on second
consideration it would effect only one
thing the gratification' of a whim of John
Mitchell and they did not propose to do
-anything further until they, were assured
some good would fce accomplished. All
the. district officers have been summoned
to meet with President Mitchell In Haz
leton Wednesday.
The success of the strikers in closing
down the Grassy Island washerles hag
impelled the local strikers to'take a hand
in the game, and tomorrow morning they
will surround the various washerles in
Scranton and 'attempt to argue the men
into "staying away fronvwork. .

DYING OF A BROKEN HEART
Admiral Sampson Brooding Over the
Injustice of His Countrymen.
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 22. During his
present vhdt to his home in Alabama, and
wherever 'he has appeared before the pub-
lie Lieutenant Richmond P.vHobson has
been- .quoted .as saying that Admiral
Sampson is dying of a broken heart, owing
to the Sampson-Schley controversy which'
followed the naval engagement at Santi
ago. He is quoted as follows:
"When Saturday, October 13, I saw in
the papers that Admiral Sampson was
ill, I took-: the- next train to Boston and
spent-Sunday with him." His 'health 'Is- de
clining!. Hlsi physicians are baffled at his
malady; ;Hitrsans are- all right, but his
Jhealth does not improve. We touched-'on
one or two subjects. For a little while he
could not speak. Soon he had to be car
ried to his room, and I did not see him
again. Mrs. Sampson told me that this
great man was brooding wis breaking
his heart at the thought that his fellow
countrymen were so unkind.
"I said to Mrs. Sampson: 'When I visit
my Southland, if the opportunity offers
itself, I wish to tell something of his ma
jestic character She Teplled: 'You dare
not Your Southland was quick and vig
orous to resent what was thought to be
an attempt to take away the laurels of
one of its great men.'
"I came to Washington and saw the
Secretary of the Navy and the President,
and.-to them also I stated my intention,
and they both gave me their consent,
warning me, however, of what I might
expect.
Mr. Hobson, in his speech at a public
reception here today, said Admiral Samp
son had not.recelved simple justice at the
hands of the American people. He saidt
"It has been sought to ptace hlm in a
-despicable light-before the world; to make
him an incompetent, narrow-minded man
and jealous 'of" the fame of his contem
poraries, particularly of one Illustrious
naval chief. As his junior officer, serving
under him, I express the deliberate opin
ion that Admiral Sampson- is the colossal
figure of the SpanlshAmerican War the"
genius -of the naval victory of Santiago.
He is unmatched today as the directing
mind of a war squadron on the seas."

the diplomatic service, as is customary in
such cases.

Bryan's campaign today. Speeches were
made at Huntington, Hurricane; St. AI7

ton. The "size of the aualences varied,
but all of them, were large In proportion
to the population of the towns and of the
surrounding- country. There wero 'espe
cially fine crowds-at Huntington, "Charles-
tor and Hlnton, people coming Into the

HE CANT SEE
towns from the adjacent region. The one
notable feature of the day was Mr.
Bryan's repeated reference to the race
question. His line of. travel today was
further south than he had gone before
and further than he will go again, and
there was quite a, number of colored, peo
ple scattered through the voods at all
the stopping places. Mr.- Bryan evidently
noted their presence, and took occasion .to.
address portions of his admirers, espe
cially appealing Jto, then to dp JustlcoVhy'
the.Plllplrios'as they would" have, justice
dqne by themselves. 'The first pblht' af
which he touphed upon this question wis
at St. Albans.. There he said: .
"When we complain that the Republi
cans are applying in the Philippine Isl
ands doctrines that deorlve oeonle of tho
right to govern themselves, the argument'
that a Republican makes '.Is. that some
oL the , Southern. States have jadoptea
amendments , requiring an . educational
qualification for, voting. If"rani ip"'sub-'
mlt'thls question to he Republican's:' Do'
they approve of what Is being" done In,
the South, or do they oppose it? If "the
oppose it, wny do tney propose worse,.
things in Forto Rico and the .Philippines
than have been proposed in the South?
Read the qualifications adopted iby' your
own Administration for voting" In "Porto
Rico, and you will find they have art ed-
ucatlonal qualification there that deprives,;
83. per cent of the black men of - vbttg-"
age of the right ,to vote; no only thls,
but they deprive them of the protection or
the Constitution. of the United States, tip
the Philippines they are going1 on the"
theory that the brown people there have
no right to a voice In their government,
and when e, Republican tells a black jiian
in this country that he ought to vote'th
Republican ticket, J. want the black nlarF
to ask' him this question:. 'If a brown
man in tho Philippines has no Tight to
a vote, what about the clack man?' and I
want to ask what black man can stand.,
on his own right to a voice in this Gov
eminent If he votes the -Republican ticket
and denies, to the people in other Islands
a right to a voice In this Government.
And If tho "Republicans tell the'cdloVea
man he Is under obligations tq the Repute t"
Hcan party, let the colored man reply thai
he has paid -his debt of. gratitude.
"If .Lincoln were here, the colored man
must vote for him, but the modern leao...
ers of the Republican party .have had
more from the colored man than th'ey
have ever given him. The colored" mant
has bestowed Presidencies upon 'the' Re
publican party and. -received janltorshlps
In return. I want the colored men, bef or
they vote the Republican ticket," to know,
that the policy of the Republican party
is to send a few white men to the Phil
ippines and hold thoso white men In ail-'
thorlty over 99 per cent Of tho popula
tlon, which will be done, and this Is to
be done by a standing army. Instead ot
using the race question as" a reason why
wo should annex the Philippines, let he
rnco qtiestlon be a warning to us not
to bring Into this country a class of peo
plo who are not to share In the full des
tiny of our Nation. I want the Filipino
to have his own flag and his own gov
ernment, to work out his own .dqstiny,
and I want this Nation to stand by nlm
and say to the worlds, 'Hands off; let
this republic live.' " "
Mr. Bryan reverted to the race question
in nls speech at Charleston. .There he
said:
"Forty years ago Tthe Republicans' said
but' now they will bus' brown men by 'the
Job lot for J2 50 'apiece. Th'ey said a gW-'
eratlon ago that the' Declaration of In!"
dependence applied to a black man. Now
they say it does not apply to a brown
man. It cost us hundreds of thousands
of lives and hundreds, of t millions ot
money to take out of the Declaration of
Independence the exceptional clause tfiat
excluded the black man. Now shaH,:,W(J'
wage a war ot conquest to write in
the Declaration of s Independence another
exceptional clause excluding the brown
man? Our; progress has been upward to
this time. Let it not be backward fronl"
now on. Do not dare to deny to any
people In forergn lands the right that you
Claim for yourselves, for .if you have i a
right to your - government, (hq. FHIptoo,
has a right to .his, and jf you. deny hlny
the right to his own government, "you win
not long have a right to yours."
."Mr. Bryan also referred to" the race
question In other speeches during the'
day. At Eastbank, Mr. Bryan said;
"I am glad that behind me I have those"
who will be satisfied -jvith equal rights
and who will not ask privileges If I am
elected.' X am-glaxl that I have-not bu
hlnd me the trust management, for- if '1

Mrrryan spoke to a congregation com
posed of coalminera at: the little mountain
town -of Sewell. &e- told the people there
that the Demqcfatfc party, stood for te

" After the train started to move In Ieav-
ing Sewell, a man In the outskirts of the
crowd, apparently very much In earnest,
demanded to know about Mr. Bryan's 'at
titude 'toward the ratification or the Paris
treaty. Mr. Bryan had the train stdppea,
and made a full explanation of his ac
tion and position In that matter. "When
this" explanation had been concluded tho
same man asked abbut tho expenditure of
?20,00(hC00 in procuring these islands. To
this inquiry, Mr. Bryan Teplied:
THE RISINgJjSUN. Helena Record.
"If you had read an article that I wroto
about a month before the treaty was
signed youwoufd have seen that we could
have got it"back from the Filipinos In re
turn for fndqpendenpe, but if you did not ,
x would ratner consider it a contribution
to liberty than as part payment on "men
and their lards."
When' Mr. Bryan concluded his .'reply
hl3 Interrogator pushed his Vay througn
the crowd, and, coming up'totte Presi
dential candidate, saidf t thought I
hfld a'VlghfaVan' American cltlzen'to ask
that question." " ' '
Mr. Bryan-said In response: "You cer
tainly did have, 'and I am glad you asked
it' The questioner joined in the cheers
whlch'went lip" for Mn Bryan. '
The meeting at Thurmond was held In a'
gorge In the mountains'," arid the stana'
from which -Mr. JBryarispoke was perchea
upon, a steep ollfC' ok one side of the
canyon. His audlencenRras composed large
ly of coalmlners, and ln closing Mr.
Bryan asked them to 'remember that therr
votes, were -their, own. He warned them
against allowing themselves to be Intimi
dated ortthelr votes purchased.
The meeting at Hlnton was the last ot
the day, and .when It concluded Mr. Bryan
left for Washington, en route for Mary
land!, to .which state he will devote tomorrow.-
Mr. Bryan mado a general
speech atHlnton. When some pne asked
him about the necessity -for a large army
in-this country, he said that if the Dem
ocratic plans for the settlement of dis
putes by arbitration, for doing -away with
the' blacklist and for the abolishment or
'government by injunction, could be puv
Into execution there would be no necessity
for a large army. The crowd at Hlnton
was not only large,, but was noisily de
monstrative. There were a number of
shouts for McKinley at the beginning ot
the, meeting.
At Huntington.
HUNTINGTON,- W. Va., Oct. 22. Mr.
Bryan joined his private car early todav
at Kenova, .Appreciating that he would
find It Impossible to cover the short dis
tance between -Huntington and . Kenova
without engaging a special conveyance.
Colonel McGrew sent Colonel Bryan's
own- car to meet him at that point with
a tspeolal engine.-
Mr. Bryan made- the first speech of his
second West Virginia tour in this city at
10 today. He 'talked from a stand erected
on a vacant block. Rain had begun ta
fall before he appeared, but the crowd
stood in tho Tain to hear-hlm. ' Mr. Bryan
was received wlth loud applause. Before
beginning hisr speech proper Mr. -Bryan
referred to the presence on the platform
of a brother of the late New York banker,
St: John, who. notwithstanding his call
ing, had supported' the Democratic "ticket
In 1896. Mr. Bryan attacked the 'theory
that a well-supplied table could meet all
the"demands of the working people. Re
ferring to ' Governor Roosevelt's reebnt
visit' to this city, he said:'
"I understand that yon had a parade
here 'and that aS man 'was carrying a
bucket In" the' parade and some one asked
him If 'his dinner pall was full. He said:
'No, iVis empty and I paid twice as "much
as it was worth then.' You will find lots
of men who have the same complaint'
In connection with his discussion of the
question of government by Injunction
Mr. Bryah quoted from a'n article alleged'
'iy haVe' been written 4or "theHevlew'of
"Reviews hy Governor Itooseveit, ' ih Sep
tember, 1S96, and cohtlnued: '
"You laboring men, -rtho are opposed to
gevernment by injunction", cah" here find
out what opinion the Republican party
hoa of you, as stated by the man who
now represerits the Republican party as
its candidate." '
Mr. Bryan then quoted Governor Rooso
velt as writing:
'"The m,en who object to what they style
government by Injunction are, as regards
essential principles,. In hearty sympathy
with their remote ,skln-clad ancestors,
who lived' In caves, foughti one another
'with stone axes and ate the mammoth
and woolly rhinocerps."
Commenting on this, Mr. Bryan said:
-"I want to ask you whether yox expect
any relief from government by Injunction
from people who say that! any man 'who
opposes government by injunction ought to
beclassedwlth the woolly rhinoceros; The
Democratic party believes that the right
(of 'a trial by Jury Is ia sacred thing and
,that if you can give" it to the meanest
thief and the blackest murderer you ought
to glvelt-toa laboring' man-as well."
Mr,- Bryan-dlscussed'the trustSiat length,
referrlhg da "Usual to the ice trust- Re-
'ferring -to the question of "in-lperiaHsIn,,'
s ,
Mr. Bryan declared that the Republican
psitycciuld nptva"efeuiarU and. wasxther
forevsaying there waif "not'rsuch a thing.
Discussing our title fd'the Philippines, Mr.
Bryan said we Had Aone that wasategiti
mate. "Forty years' agof" he said "the 'Re
publican party was contending that you
cannot buy, a black man for ?100O; now
they are' willing to buy brown men in job
lots at $2 50 apiece," He closed with an.
appeal to the people o thlp country not
to'furthef complicate the" race" question or
this country by adding any more alien
people to, our population.
At Charleston-.
CHARLESTON, W. Ta., Oct 22.-MT.
Bryan spoke here for IS minutes to one
of the largest crowds of "the day and
discussed all the issues of the campaign.
Referring to Senator Hanna, Mr. Bryan
said that notwithstanding the charges
.against that gentleman In connection with
his election' to the Senate, he
sent a message to the President,
saying, 'I am elected ' Senator and
God , still lives."" 'In like', man
ner, he said, the Republican party ,was
claiming to be in partnership with the
Almighty In its forelcn oollcv. But.
J while this contention was made, "Mr. Bry
an declared, the Republicans - were, the
only party to the partnership which was
making any noise about it. He contro
verted the statement that 4 the
Democrats were seeking to array
one -olass against another, and dis
cussed "the question of imperialism at
some length. As for himself, he was op
posed tq It because he believed in a re
public and not an-empire.
As the train pulled out of Hurricane,
Mr. Bryan was showered with rice and
flowers. Before leaving Huntington, Mr.
Brayn's private can was decorated with
the National colors-by the state com
mittee... At St Albans, Mr. Bryan- de
voted almosti his entire attention to the
race question, and elaborated the argu
ment which 'he had heretofore made to
the effect that the question is made al

BRYAN IN NEW YORK.
An Independent Estimate of HIM De
liverances There.
New York Times, Ind. Dem,
To the financial theory that Is peculiar
ly Mr. Bryan's, the interest is very keen
In this community. New York is not'
merely the "center " of wealth,' as he
called it, but, as 'he acknowledged, "the
center of population arid of Industry." It
It the greatest manufacturing city of the
world, and the most populous in the Un
ion. Its voters do not" follow the lead
df any class. Here, If anywhere, Mr.
Bryan would have found 'attentive and
sympathetic hearers for a statement of
his claim worthy of -candid considera
tion. He did not, In our judgment, make
such a statement 'He was glib; he was
adroit; he was, as stump speaking goes,
bright; but he was superficial, evasive,
cynical; he was not candid, direct, se
rious. There was a curious note of tim
idity and shiftiness In the speech. The
leader of the opposition, his bearing was
less aggressive than -apologetic. He was,
on the defensive even in his attacks,
and appeared more anxious to excuse the
attacks than to press them home.
Especially he avoided anything like a
definite statement of what he and his
party would do with the power he asks
the people to Intrust him with. That
may have been unavoidable. He may
have no definite plan. He may not dare
avow It He may hesitate openly to ad
here to the. plan he had four years ago,
and he may equally fear openly to dis
card It Be that as It may, on the one
point In which New York Is most deeply
Interested he had 'hot1 one "word to say.
He did not tell us whGther he still means
to do 'away with the gold standatd 'as
soon as he can; he did not tell us If h&
means to pay public obligations In silver;
he dontehted himself vwlth asking us
whether we.'tholight aT dollar worth more
than a man. jts to- the-, more Tecent
queetlon,'- the , one , he declares to be
"paramount,"- he was equally unsatis
factory. Ho repeated at great length his
defense of his course as to the Spanish
treaty, but referred only in vague terms
to the policy he would pursue under that,
treaty." What he would regard aB a
"stable government" 'for the Philippines;
how he would "establish" It; how It is
to be "protected'' if ever it ,is estab
lishedon these questions, which have
been urged on him now for many weeks,
he was allent
He dodged the currency question wholly.
His address was full of demagogy. His
Insinuations as to the Army were incredibly-base.
His appeals to "the Ignorance
and passion that are the sources of dis
order were extremely violent So far
from conciliating the olass from whom
help-must come If his- party is to be res
cued from defeat, he was peculiarly of
fensive to it. ,
The keen observers of politics who
watched him with eager desire for en
couragement must have been bltterl?
disheartened. Mr. Shepard, to whom the
audience would not listen; Mr. Stevenson,
who spoke to a half-emptied hall, must
have felt sick and Weary. They could
hardly fall to see that the vast assembly
was not really interested In their cause,
not greatly Interested even In Mr. Bry
an's speech, which -would not have been
tolerated from any ope else, and that the
motive which gathered them was more
curiosity than any other. And curiosity,
we imagine, is the emotion Mr. Bryan will
continue chiefly to arouse so long as he
arouses any.
NEW! YORK! MASS MEETINGS.
Reception to Roosevelt Friday, to
Bryan Saturday.
NEW 'YORK, Oct. 23. It is planned to
make the reception by the ' League of
Democratic Clubs for Colonel Bryan at
Madison-Square Garden next Saturday

cal gatherings ever held. The general

The Republican mass meeting in honor
of Governor Roosevelt in Madlson-Squara
Garden next Friday promises to be pic
turesque. There will be a series of pa

will be divided into 18 groups. With one
group will be BOO Columbia College stu
dents, marching, In a body. Charles S.

Confidence- ot Jones.
dHICAGO. "Oct. 22. Chairman Jones, of
the Democratic National Committee, said
r today:
"I do not believe there is any doubt
that Mr. Bryan will carry New York. I
believe qur chances for carrying Ohio are
better than the Republicans. I regard Illi
nois as an exceedingly doubtful state.
"Telegrams from tho chairmen of the
Democratic State Committee state we arw
going to carry California. Advices from
that state a while ago were somewhat
doubtful as to the result Mayor Pheian.
of San Francisco, says there Is no-doubt
about the state. One of the causes of
this change of sentiment Jn California is
the decision of Judge Estes on the Chi
nese exclusion act. In which he held that
a Chinaman at any port in the United
States could go to any other port, and,
therefore, a Chinaman in Hawaii could
visit any city in any part of the United
States, thus practically throwing the
door open to the free entry of Chinamen
In this country. I have no doubt of the
election of Mr. Bryan."

SESTATOJ BEVElUDCiE'S SPEECH IN
p TbuiSVIIiLE. ' -
The Nation United Can Overcome the
World, Not Only in Arms, Bat
in Peace.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.t Oct... 22. Library
Hall was too small 'to holcl . the crowd
that, wanted to hear the. speech of Sena
tor Albert J Beverldge,. of Indiana, to
night While the Senator was speaking
for McKinley In this hall. Bourke Cock
ran was speaking fqj- Bryan at the"Au
dltorlum, so the clans were to a larg
degree separated. Senator Baverldire's
'audience greeted him enthusiastically
and cheered him continuously. Among
the vice-presidents on the stage were a
number of Brown- Democrats. Senator
Beverldge said ip. part:
"The South has grown too great to be
sectional. The South ought now to be
and In its heart Is American in oolltlcs.
Not a, reason remains why the "South
should, be solid on sectional lines. The
lines which once divided us, but which
shall divide us no more, forever have
been erased from tfie Republic's map,
because the conditions which created those
lines have passed away. Industrially,
the Republic Is a single Nation; com
mercially, the Interests of the North and
the South ate Identical. Whatever makes
for the prosperity of the North makes
for the -prosperity of the South. The
Nation's financial system as vitally af
fects the Southern business man as It
affects the Northern business man. "Our
tariff policy creates factories In the South
as well as In the North. Our Whole In
ternal economy. Is -common-in- Its applica
tion,, common Inlts benefits and -common
ln'lt3 effects wherever they occur to ev
ery section of the land,"
Senator Beverldge' denied that enmity
existed between the North and the South
or eyer did -exist. They were, he ex
plained only divided by conflicting views
of government He scoffed at the Idea
that men "whose fathers and fathers"
fathers back to the militant hour when
the militant flag" of this militant Nation
was unfurled were soldiers as well as
citizens and citizens because they were
soldiers," should fear militarism. He con
tinued: '"
"The only militarism that this Nation
need fear Is that militarism which may
be caused by qlass hatred among this Na
tion of . brothers, by sectional animosi
ties In this common and united land. Di
vided, we might destroy each pther
united, we can overcome the world in
arms. Aye, more united we can over
come the world not only In arms but In
peace, In Industry, In commerce. In civil
ization. Mutual affection Is the law of
progress of the North and South alike;
political dl-vlsion is the law of their de
cline." Senator Beverldge closed 'his address
with an eloquent story of his visit to the
Philippines, where he saw sons of the
Confederate and, Union soldiers standing
shoulder to shoulder fighting a common
enemy.
STEVEXSON IN MICHIGAN.
Began a Three Days' Canvass Confi
dent of Election.
DETROIT, '-Mich.; Oct. 22. Adlal E.
Stevenson, Democratic nominee for Vice
President, arrived In Detroit today from
Chicago and after taking breakfast with
National Committeeman Campau left on
a three days' speaking tour of Mjchlgan.
Mr. Stevenson said he was feeling In
splendid condition. He emphasized his
confidence of Democratic victory and saldr
"I was .very much Impressed by the en
thusiasm shown in New York."
Talked About the Boers.
GRAjfcb ' RPXD. MlchXOct , . 22.
Adlal' E. 'Stevenson- arrived here "from
Chicago- at 1:30 P. M.. and an hour later
addressed an open-air meeting In Campan
Square. A drizzling rain commenced to
fall a few minutes before he appeared
on the platform,, which soon drove to
shelter all except a few hundred people
wh"b"""were" "Within immediate hearing of
hisl Vdlce. These" hoisted umbrellas and
drew closer to tho speaker, who, after
seeking the protection of his hat. stood
his ground against the elements and
talked for half ah hour upon 'the issues
of trpsts and imperialism. A noticeable
feature of his handling qf the latter topje
was the emphasis which he placed upon
the Boer question. 'Owing to' the great
number of Holland-American voters in
this section of the state, this subject is
forced to the front by all Democratic
orators who visit the Fifth Congressional
district Mr. Stevenson took the ground
that President McKinley could not have
exceeded the bounds of International dl
plomacy In Intervening in behalf of th4
Boers any more than Cleveland did In
the stand he took In behalf . of Venezuela,
and expressed the opinion that the effect
on England would have been the same
and that there would have been no South
African War. His audience was plainly
In sympathy wtlh him and applauded his
remarks upon this subject liberally.
HANNA IN CHICAGO.
Made an Address to 3000 Colore
Volunteers.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22 A crowd of 3000
colored volunteers listened to an address
tonight by Senator Hanna at the First
Regiment Armory. The Senator was very
hoarse as a result of his week s cam
paigning in tho West, hut nevertheless,
he succeeded in making himself heard.
He spoke briefly and hl3 remarks were at
all tlmes-'greeted with applause.
"There never was a time," said Senator
Hanna, "when those whose citizenship
came with the birthday of the Republican
party had greater cause to rejoice. The
colored troops are always- in line and
ready for action. As long as the Repub
lican party Is true to the principles which
attracted to It tho colored population of
the United States the. colored vote will
never be divided.
"All the collateral issues injected into
this campaign by the Bryanltes have
been for the sole purpose of bewildering
and leading public opinion astray as to
what was the real Issue. When It comes
down to what we are most interested In.
It amounts to Just one Issue and one
