CONVENTION MEETS TO DAT.
Mjst of Delegates Will Itejett Increase
Without Othor Concesnlons
to Strikers.
HCKANTON. Pa.. Oct. 11. -The con
vention of the anthracite miners now
on strike throughout the entire hard
coal llelds In Pennsylvania will begin
In this city tomorrow morning for the
purpose of condlderlng the ten per cent
net Increase In wage proffered them
by nearly all the mine operator In the
region. What the outcome of the con
vention w ill be Is all a matter of specu
lation, and opinions expressed tonight
by the lenders are widely divergent.
The delegates to the convention who
begun Arriving today have all sorts of
Instructions from their local unions on
the propoMtlon of the operators. Most
of them row on the ground will vote
to reject the ten per cent Increase un
less the operators make further con
cessions. Many of the miners will not favor an
advance unless the operators give a
guarantee that the Increase will be
kept In force for a fixed length of time.
Others want the union recognised be
fore they will accept the proposition,
while not a few Insist upon concessions
In o'.hir grievances.
The belief Is general that in the ab
aence of any uniform Instructions
among the delegates the chances of
settlement by this convention are rath
er alight. It la the Impression of sev
eral labor leaders that at least a sec
ond convention will have to be held
before any definite action will be taken
looking toward an early ending of the
contest.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. ll.-Much
disorder characterized William J. Bry
an's visit to Ann Arbor this afternoon.
The students of the Bute University,
which Is located here, were at the meet
ing In lar?e numbers and each one
made his presence felt.
A platform had been erected beside
the courthouse and the whole side of
the square and the street was packed
with humanity, the majority of those
nearest the stand telng students.
Bryan had no sooner shown his face
than the bovs bgan a cjamor which
did not cease for ten to fifteen min
utes. Even after Bryan advanced to
the front of the stage the din continued
but ultimately subsided sufficiently to
anw mm to oegin.
"1 am glad to talk to you." he be
gan, "if you're willing to listen."
A few voices responded: "We are
wiling."
Bryan began- "If I were an Imper
ialist I would call out an army and
suppress you. but I am not."
This sally seemed to please the young
men and most of them laughed and
Jeered. Some of them Jeered to such
an extent, however, that a policeman
was compelled to enter the crowd and
arrest several of the noisiest.
After this, however, while Interrup
tions were frequent they generally took
the shape of questions. One brought
out this specific declaration from Bry
an: "The Pemocratlc party is for free
coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen
to one. without waiting for the con
sent of any other nation."
At the time of the arrest of some
students Bryan's attention was not call
ed to the fact and he did not know
f it until after the c!cw of the meet
ing. When Informed of what had occurred
he Immediately sent the following tele
gram: "If it Is true, as I am Informed, that
nme college boys were artvsted for dis
turbing the meeting, please ask for
their discharge. I am sure It was the
result of boyish thoughtlessness and
not mpltce."

SANTA BARBARA. Cal.. Oct. ll.
The battleship Wisconsin made a suc
cessful trial trip today. On the west
ern run over a 32-knot course an aver
nge of 17.SS knots was made: the
avernge for four hours was 17.25 with a
strong tide allowance in favor of the
ship. In a spurt a speed of 18.54 knots
was attained. The specifications re
quire the ship to make 16 knots an
hour.
By the terms of the contract the Wis
consln was required to steam at that
rate for four consecutive hours, one
knot more than was demanded of the
Oregon, which, however, made a spurt
during her trial reaching 17.15 knots.
The Wisconsin Is one thousand tons
heavier than the Oregon and no prem
ium wa9 off red for excess of speed
over the requirements of the contract.
Nevertheless she has beaten the rec
ord of the Oregon at every point.

Powder
The manufacturers of Royal
Baking Powder have always declined
to produce a cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
The Royal is made from the
most highly refined and wholesome
ingredients, and is the embodiment
of all the excellence possible to be
attained in the highest class baking
powder.
Royal Baking Powder costs only
a fair price, and is cheaper at its
price than any similar article.
Samples of mixtures made in imitation of baking
powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis
tributed from door to door, or given away in
grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous
to use in food, and in many cities their sale is
prohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive pfion. and
ail physician condemn baking powders containing it.
