"If all the mines In the anthracite

"No," was the reply. "You can put
that down as certain. How can it
when the mine owners ire paying 10
per cent Increase In wages? Coal will
remain all winter long at least t0 to
5 cents a ton higher than before the
strike, no matter how much Is mined.
"The first coal taken from the mines

DEWEY'S BROTHER DEAD.
MONTPELIER. Vt., Oot. 27. Edward
Dewey, brother of Admiral George
Dewey, Is dead, aged 71.
NEW YORK, Cct. 27.-Wllllam J.
Bryan's second coming to this city waa
the occasion tonight of one of the
greatest political demonstrations of the
campaign. Fourteen thousand people
cheered the Democratic candidate at
MadUon Square Garden.
This morning was spent at New Ha
ven and this afternoon he made sever
al addresses at points between New
Haven and this city. He was accom
panied to thla city by two hundred
Yale students. When he arrived at
the Grand Central station there were
300C pers' nn to RTeet him.
He spent the remainder of the afier-
noon at the Hoffman House, where he
went over the business of the campaign
with local leaders.
At the dinner In h:s honor, at which
tnere were forty-flve guests, he wlt
netsei the great pyrotechnic display.
For the dinner, which was given In
honor of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, the Hoff
man house ballroom waa most elabo
rately decorated. It commenced at t
o'clock, lasting over an hour. Wm. R.
Hearst sat at the bead of the table.
At the close of the dinner ex-Governor
Stone made an address, in the course
of which he charged Senator Scott with
having aaid at a banquet given to Gov
ernor Roosevelt at the Fifth Avenue
hotel lost night:
"Right here I want to say I believe
In trusts; they are good things. The
Standarl Oil Company put In its pipe
llnea In all the small towns where oil
Is produced and If It were not for the
Standard Oil Company the prosperity
that we have would not be there."
Continuing. W. W. Stone said:
"I do not believe In trusu. They are
bad things. I do not believe that the
prosperity of the country or any part of
the country is dependent on pipe lines
laid by the Standard Oil Company. The
Standard Oil Company Is a monopoly.
"The president of the Standard Oil
Company. John D. Rockefeller, is worth
one billion dollars.
method of obtaining a satisfactory so
lutlon.
Secretary Hay and other officials of
the administration believe In general ar
nitration, but they think It Is in the In
terest of all the powers and China that
direct negotiations should be first tried.
Thse who advocate arbitration, how
ever, argue that swifter action could be
secured by the reference of the entire
dispute to arbitration at this time than
by beginning negotiations In Pekln
which may be Indefinitely prolonged
and finally produce no result.
The authorities are anxious to ob
tain Information relative to the replies
of Germany and Great Britain on the
Russian suggestion. No Information on
this point has yet reached the state de
partment. Should all the nations con
sent, the authorities sajt a great obfita
cle in the way of a satisfactory solution
of the whole Chinese question will be
removed.
Oscar S. Straus, minister to Turkey,
said In thla city last night:
'It Is proper that the United States
should lead In the matter of arbitra
tion. We have never ceased to urge the
course upon the powers and It appears
to me that now Is the proper time for
us to put our words Into deeds. The
compact between Germany and England
which, undoubtedly, has the approval
of our government, leaves nothing to be
settled except the amount of Indemnity
which China must pay to the several
governments. In case a serious dis
pute should arise regarding Indemnity
the matter would have to be referred to
arbitration and If It Is to be arbitrated
The Hague Commission Is the proper
body for It to come before."

Speaking here tonight Governor

"The other day at Yonkers. Mr. Bry
