BOISE, Tdaho, Oct. 5.—Hon. Binger Her- | mann ommissioner of the General Land Office, addressed a large meeting here this evening. The meeting was one of the best held during the campaign and the ad dress was very well received. Mr. Hermann prefaced his address with some remarks euloglstic of Senator Shoup. He spoke of the Senator’s early career, of the work he had done years ago in at- tracting attention to Jdaho and of the menner in which he had looked after Ida- ho's interests at Washington.

Republicans, in the game of Republican politics, party harmony is a higher card than ‘plain duty.’ I want to ask you if you are prepared to surrender everything for party harmony.” Mr. Bryan continued: “I confess that it is hard for me to be parllamentary in my language when I think of men far re- moved from danger who are not exposing their own bodies to the hardships of war, who are speculating on how much trade can be purchased with some mother's son. Republicans, iIf you want (o buy trade with human blood go and buy it with your own blood and don’t send other people’s children there. “Republicans, you prate about the na- tion’s destiny. Do you want Lhis nation to be a bully and a braggart? Do you want this nation to go out seeking weaker na- tions to subdue and hold jn vassalage?" While Mr. Bryan was speaking at Marion some one in the audience askei in regard to the North Carolina negro vote. Mr. Bryan said: “My friend, I am glad that you asked me that; I am prepared for you. Now, I am goini to assume thal the Republican who asked the question is an honest man. 1 am going to ask him about the constitution of the Republican | State of Oregon. I will read a provision of that constitution. It says: * ‘Section 35—No free negro or mulatto not residing in this State at the time of the adoption of this constitution shall come, reside, or be within this State, hoid any real estate or make any contract or maintain any such therein, and the legis- lative assembly shall provide by penal laws for the removal by public officers of all such negroes and mulattoes and for their effectual exclusion from the Statc and for the Bunlshment ofsvernom who shall bring them into the State or em- ploy or harbor them.’ “That amendment was adopted before the Civil War; It makes it unlawful for a free negro to go into the State, and it authorizes the officers to put him out But vou say that it is old. Let me mind you that last June an effort wa made to repeal that portion of the co stitution and the effort to repeal it was defeated although the State went Repub- lican." Mr. Bryan then pointed to Porto Rico nd the altanate of Sulu as he has done in former speeches. At Hartford City Mr. Bryan found a text for his remarks in some MecKinley posters conspicuously displ; 11 in the distance. posters, Mr. Bryan said: 1 see over on the side of that barn a bill o poster, and all that 1 can make out from here is that McKinley was right.

Was he right when he sald last December that it was our “‘plain duty’" to give free trade to Porto Rico, or was he right when he asked the members of Congress to | vote against giving free trade to Porto Rico? I want you Republicans to take both arguments made by your Prestdent and then see which | arzument you will accept. There were three or four times as many people as could hear the speaker's volce, the crowd extending in some distance as much as two blocks. The Presidential candidate then devoted his attention to the trusts, Mr. Bryan spoke to an enormous crowd at the fair grounds in Anderson to-night and at the close of his address returned to Indlanapolis for the night. —_—— ROOSEVELT’S STRENGTH WANES Heavy Campaign Werk That Is Wearing on the Governor. ROCK ISLAND, Ill., Oct. 5.—Governor Roosevelt, who spoke in this city and Davenport, Iowa, to-night, thus closing another day of hard campaigning, is be- ginning to feel the effects of the arduous work undertaken by him at the request of the Repubiican managers. Governor Roosevelt, since he began his itinerary through the northwestern States, has been speaking from ten to twenty times each day, closind the day's labor usually with a night meeting. Many of these meetings have been in the open air, requiring extra exertion on his part. He has now been on this journey for more than thirty days, and though strong beyond the powers of most men to en- dure, he is beginning to show signs of distress and a failing voice. He has been worked unmercifully by the State Com- mittees of the different States through which he has passed. Beyond (his he has had to endure unlimited handshak- ing, interviews without number and much pulling and hauling by the eager but in- considerate mob which has swarmed around him in ali the cities of any con- siderable size which he has visited. If some relief is not afforded his physical powers he may be unable to last to the end of the campaign. It has even now been suggested that all his Eastern en- gagements be postponed for one week. 'his matter will be determined by the National Committee on the arrival of Governor Roosevelt fn Chicago Saturday Fhe trip through the State of Towa to- day has been a_very satisfactory one, large meetings being held at all points | where stops were made. Two immense meetings were addressed by Governor Roosevelt to-night, one at Davenport, Towa, and the other at Rock Island, T, he 'train arrived at Davenport at § o’clock, somewhat behind time. The Gov- ernor and his party were driven to a tent in the western limits of the city, where an immense meeting was held and where he spoke for thirty minutes. Immediately upon the conclusion of his remarks at that place he was driven to Rock Island, where a great street parade Wi movin; Immense numbers of people lined the streets on all sides and the Gov- ernor's carriage driven for eral miles throu the shouting populace. It was half past nine before he reached the stand to talk. He spoke for not more than twenty minutes. At the Davenport meting Governor Roosevelt made the principal address of the day. He spoke along familiar lines. He referred to what he said about the plan_of the Democratic campaign to ignore the silver issue in the ast and said: Now distrust any party, distrust any body of men who dare not tell you how ihey stand on the sreat questions before the people. Distrust them and especially if they stand one way in one part of the Union and another way in another part of the Umoi. Now we are for the gold standard. on the Pacific Coast and in the Va the Mississippi or anywhere else. straight for the gold standard.” WATERLOO, lowa, Oct. 5.—A great demonstration 'was held here to-day in honor of Governor Roosevelt, who arrived | nere from his trip through Nebraska. An hour’s stop was made, which gave the Governor time before the speaking began to drive through the city and partake of a luncheon with General David B. Hen- | | derson, Speaker of the national House of | | Representatives, who joined the party here. General Shaw also joined the party. A platform had been erected in the City Park, where the speaking occurred this afternoon. A large crowd was present, including many strangers from the sur- . rounding towns. At the conclusion of Governor Roosevelt's address United States Senator Dolliver and General Cur- tis Guild Jr. of Boston also made speeches. DAVENPORT, Iowa, Oct. 5.—The sec-| ond stop of Governor Roosevelt in Iowa to-day was made at Waterloo. Great preparations had been made for the visit and an immense crowd was assembled in the park adjacent to the station to listen to the s ing. The meeting was ad- dressed first by Governor Roosevelt and next by Governor Shaw of Iowa. The day was beautiful and the demonstration ificent. Governor Roosevelt said in o not appeal to Iowa because Iowa leads and the rest of us follow. Iowa possesses that combination of honesty, courage and common sense which makes us follow and makes us safe in turning to her in any crisis. Now, then, we are asked to give up our material prosperity. Why are we asked to give it up? For the sake of turning over the Philippines to an unspeakably cruel and an nns%akably corrupt syndicate of Chinese halfbreeds.” What about the trusts?”’ asked a voice. Ve will have to ask that an essay be written by Mr. Croker on that subject, and then if you would like further litera- ture on the trusts we wlllNget Chairman Jones of the Democratic National Com- mittee to write one on the cotton-bale trust.” The areclnl Roosevelt train stopped at | ‘West Liberty for the purpose of changing engines some time after dark to-day. The fact becoming known about the iown a wild and enthusiastic crowd surrounded the train aud insisted on the Governor showing himself. Governor Roosevelt ap- peared on the rear platform of the car and greeted his audience with a few words. A rush was then made to shake hands and women and children became involved in a whirlpool of humanity which for a time promised disaster to some of ; the weaker ones. Fortunately the train pulled dut in time to prevent accident.

A well-known operator here sald yesterday that there was an under- standing at the meeting of the representa- tives of the big companies and the Indi- vidual operators in this city last Tues- | day. According to the understanding the notices of increase of wages were not to | be posted all at the same time, but grad- | ually. This part of the programme has | now been carried out. The companies and | nearly all the operators are in line for a | 10 per cent increase. It is now up to President Mitchell to decide what he is going to do in the mat- ter. If he delays action with the idea in view that the operators will make a bet- ter offer he is liable to delay a settlement of the strike indefinitely. An analysis of the 10 per cent increase offered shows that the average miners’ wages would not b2 increased fully 10 per cent, but it is ar- ed that it is better than nothing; that | 'S a Vietory atter all for the strikers; l that it Is the entering wedge, and that if the United Mine-workers keep their or-| ganization intact they can compel the | operators to make further concessions in | the years to come. ! It is said that President Mitchell takes= this view of the situation himself. It is | known, however, that some of President Mitchell's advisérs are against a settle- ment on the 10 per cent basis. ST | EREAK AMONG THE OPERATORS. | C. A. Pardee & Co. Start Ball Rolling in Hazleton District. HAZLETON, Pa., Oct. 5.—The belief prevalent here to-night that the anthra- | cite coal strike is approaching an end is considerably strengthened by the action of the individual operators to-day in fol- lowing the lead of the big coal carrying and coal mining railroads by offering a net increase of 10 per cent in the wages of their employes. The first break among the individual operators in this district was made to-day, when C. A. Pardee & Co., operating the Cranberry and Crystal | Range coilieries, offered their employes a | 10 per cent net increase in wages and a reduction in the price of powder of $1 50 | per keg, the decrease in the price of po | der to be taken into account in the a | vancing of the wages. That four more of the individual mine owners will make the same offer is hardy doubted. | It was learned to-day that before the | advance was made public by the Pardee | Company several of the general superin: tendents of other individual coal com- panies were invited to the Pardee Com pany’s office in this city for the purpose | of giving thelr views on the proposed of- fer. These reports did not say what their companies would do, but it was learned that the consensus of opinion was that if the mine owners wished to keep their col- | lieries in operation they would have to in- crease the wages of their men. None of | the superintendents at the meeting would say anything in regard to the report that | the coal carrying roads had made con- | cessions to the individual operators in the | matter of freight rates. The representa- tive of the Associated Press was told to- night by a prominent mining official, who | ould positively know if the railroads had conceded anything, that as far as he knew | the railroads had not reduced the rates to any individual company in_ this region. ‘ President Mitchell of the United Mine | It Is Now Up to President Mitchell of | ‘Workers is much interested in the ad. vance made by the individual companies, | but would say nthing for publication. He | continues to say that the strike cannot | | be settled without a convention, and that he is waiting on the operators. In the meantime the men now on strike, said to number 133,000, are not wavering under_the proffered increase in wages. Tn the Lackawanna and Wyoming dis- tricts not a mine is working. The condi- tions_remain about the same in the Le- high Valley region, while in the Schuylkill | district more men have laid down their | tools and quit.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.—To-day's de- cision of the individual coal operators to offer a 10 per cent increase in wages to the striking mine workers is regarded throughout the anthracite region as the beginning of the end of the strike. Nearly | all, the individual operators to-day made announcements of their willingness to | grant the increase, and notices to this ef- fect will, it is expected, be posted at the various independent collieries to-morrow. Some have already been posted. It 1is fully believed that the few operators who | have not yet expressed their intention on the subject wili fall in line with the others and grant the increase. According to some of the operators, powder will be sold to the miners at $1 3 per keg, instead of $275 as heretofore charged, but this reduction will be taken into comnsideration in figuring the net 10 per cent advance. No other concessions to the strikers are hinted at, and, in fact, it has been ogenly deciared by some of the officials of the big companies that no further conces- | Bome Treatment. | degradation of Chinese personages of high rank is merely to gain time and to enable | China to be in a better position to defy | the powers, as the new capital would ba virtually inaccessible from the coast. The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post, discussing tnis aspect of the case, remarks: “The German troops have no means of transport, and any attempt to follow ths ?mnesa court would be therefore quite utile.” He says the Chinese firmly belleve in the existence of a Russo-German agree- | ment under which Russia will take all the territory north of lhngreafi wall and Germany the provinces of Chill and Shan- tung.

Demonstration That Will Delay the Withdrawal of Troops. SHENANDOAH, Pa., Oct. 5.—Arrange- ments have been completed by the loca! branches of the United Mine Workers for a big parade and mass meedn‘, here to- morrow afternoon. Invitations have been extended to all the strikers in the Shenan- doah and Mahanoy valleys to lu.?&n in the affair. The prineipal feature of the demonstration will be an address by Na- tional President Mitchell. Organizer Harris to-day sent representa- tives to all the neighboring towns and mining patches to notify the unions thers of the proposed demonsration. Mr. Har- ris says he expects about 15,000 men and boys to be in line. General Gobin sald to-night that while he did not apprehend any disturbance he would order no more troops home until after the demonstration.

The committee wi unsuccessful and so reported, and the operators, feeling that further opposition to the big companies was useless, decided to follow their lead and grant the ad- vance. It is the general opinion that a great majority of the striking mine workers will be satisflied to accept the offer and return to work, but they express determination to awalt the decision of President Mitchell | of the United Mine Workers. 3 Mr. Mitchell will give no indication of | his probable action in the matter beyond his oft-repeated assertion that the men themselves decide in convention all ques- tions bearing on a settlement of the dif- ferences with the operators.
