Republican Managers Fighting Hard to Retain Control. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Satisfled now that they will win the Presidency, Repub- lican campalgn managers are very un- easy about the next House of Represent- atives. It is entirely possible that Presi- dent McKinley will be re-elected by a large majority of electoral votes, and that the Democrats might have a great ad- vantage over the Republicans for the rea- son that in their stronghold in the solid South almost every State that gives its electoral vote to Bryan is sure to send a solid Democratic delegation to Congress. In the Republican strongholds, however, many States will have broken delega- tions. There is no question that the elec- toral vote of Massachusetts will be cast for McKinley, and yet the Democrats will have one and possibly two Representa- tives from that Btate.

In the election of two years ago the Re- publicans secured a majority of but thir- teen in the House. This was Increased by the unseating of Demo- crats and Populists in contested cases, but If the Democrats make a net gain of seven on the face of the returns over the election of '8 they will have enough to organize the House. There are no less than twenty-five seats now held by Re- publicans which'are in danger of belng captured by Democrats. Several of these are practically conced- ed by Republican managers without a struggle. In others a hard fight is being made. On the other hand, there are seats now held by Democrats which Repub- licans are confident of winning, but these are rnot so numerous as Republican seats | that are in doubt. Republican managers are therefore di- recting their efforts toward trying to car- ry the few seats now held by Democrats, but espectally are they endeavoring to hold the seats which Democrats are try- el (] Furious with rage, Aolivkiein| END OF STRIKE IN COAL FIELDS DRAWING NEAR President of the Mine Workers’ Union Will- To-Day Call a Convention to Consider Operators’ Proposal. HILADELPHIA, Oct. 7.—Tt is the | general belief that Mitchell of the United Workers will to-morrow call for a convention of miners to consider the offer of Increased wages, to be held at Scranton, and the supposition is that Thursday next will be named the time. Mr. Mitchell, however, declined to give publicity to the matters discussed by President Mine issue a as himself and other officlals of the or-| y TON, Pa., Oct.

They have been encouraged to believe that three or | four States in that region which sent op- | position members to the present House will go Republican this yvear, and that McKinley may pull the Congressional ticket through. The question of which party shall control the House of Repre- sentatives may depend altogether on the size of the vote that is got out in New York and Pennsylvania. Republicans be- lieve that if McKinley carries these States by majoritles ut all approximating those | of four years ago, they will gain from ten to twelve seats in the House in these States alone. This would insure them control of the House even with consid- erable losses In the South and Middle West. St e HARVARD FOR McKINLEY. No Truth in the Report to the Con- trary Recently Started. Special Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Oct. 7.—The astonishing state- ment made at the Massachusetts Bryan Club meeting last Friday that “nearly all the Harvard Srofessors are going to vote for Bryan” has turned out to be false, as the following figures prove: Nineteen for McKinley, four for Bryan and one unde- cided. ‘Albert Bushnell Hart, the historian, sald: I am sure that at least two-thirds of the Harvard faculty will vote for Mec- Kinley."” | Kinley as the lesser of two evils. | Archibala Coolidge will vote the stratght Republican ticket. He thinks most of | his colleagues will do the same. Professor Shaler, dean of the scientiflc school, says: “When I find my party I shall be a Democrat, but this year I shall support McKinley."” Dr. J. M. Plerce, dean of the graduate | school, said: *“I shall vote the Repub- lican ticket, although I am a Democrat— perhaps because I am a Democrat.” | Other Republicans are Silas MacVane, | profesror of history; George Washington | | Cram, the recoruer; Professors Sabine, Morris Hickey, Morgan, Bruce and Wy- | man of the law school. A supporter of | Bryan was at last found in the well- known person of Phillipe Belknap Mar- cou, the instructor in French. Willlam G. Brown, deputy of the university records, is for Bryan. PRESIDENT REMAINS INDOORS. Visited by Relatives and Old Friends in His Canton Home. CANTON, Ohlo, Oct. 7.—President and Mrs. McKinley, with the exception of an early morning drive with several friends, kept close indoors to-day. The Presi- dent’s uncle, B. F. McKinley, and his daughter remained at the house until after noon, when they left for Cleveland. iwo old friends of the family, Judge Deford of Carrollton and Judge Arral of Youngstown, called. The President and party will leave for Washington on a spe- clal car at 12:45 to-morrow afternoon. at Hazletoh, and he gave no Intimation as to when the convention would be held. Indications are coming to the surface that hasty action will not Iikely be reached on the question by the conven- tion and that recesses will be taken pend- Ing conferences of committees with the | | operators. These conferences will be re- quested with the purpose of obtaining a clear understanding as to the permanence | | | of the increased pay, if accepted, and also | to ascertain the operators’ view of the proportion of the Increase to be respect- | ively allowed the miners and mine labor- ers. —_—— PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7.—The Reading Company to-day made public its annual report, covering not only the affairs of the Reading Company, but also those of the Philadelphia and Reading Company and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Ironl Company.
