Coal Slaes Agents Exerting
An Influence Toward
Strike Settlement.
TRADE Is DEMORALIZED
Anthracite Customers Are Getting
Used to Bituinous Coal and
Learning to Like Il.
General Belief At Headquarters That
This Week Will See Windup
of Strike.

Wilkesbarre, Ia, Oct 22.-The gen.
eral belief here Is that this week will
see the windup of the strike. The
strikers do not admit this openly. but
il is the feeling that the lockout can
not be continued much longer. Both
sides are expected to make conccs-
sions.
The operators say they have none to
make, but under certain pressure they
are expected to make them neyerthe-
"ss. The politicians have had their
~ in the negotiations looking toward
settlement, and now the sales agents
II t'st big ceal companies and the re-
IL f,aiyis In the big cities are tax
ng hand.
They are writing and telegraphiny
every day to the coal companies that
unless something is done very soon 10
bring the strike to an end and an cf-
fort made to get some hard coal on
the market at saleable figures the an
thracite trade will be demoraliZed for
years to come. and some of ii Will be
lost forever.
One sales agent writes: "One OF my
largest customers tells me that con-
sumers are getting to like bituminOus
coal and that they think they Will keep
on using it,"
II is such reminders as these that
make the operators just as anxious to
settle the strike as the miners. But
the strikers must make the biggest
concession. and there is every reason
to believe that they will do 1t before
out on strike argue this way: LET us
accept the latest offer Of the companies
and settle the powder question later
on. If we return to work we are sure
to get an increase over the wages paid
In the past. no matter how the opera
tors try to figure 1t ont, and we can
afford to blde our time for the settle
ment of the powder issue"
OF course there is some opposition
to taking this position. There ar"
some strikers who favor holding out
until their demand is granted. but this
class is not I'm the majority. They are
men who own their own homes and
have their larders well filled for the
winter. They can afford to hold out
against the companies, but the bulk of
the strikers cannot.

regions and says he would not stanj

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 22.-Hon.
John Sherman died at 6:45 a. m of
brain exhaustion after nearly thirty
six hours of nearly complete uncon-
sciousness. During the last fifteen
hours he was wholly unconscious. A
number of relatives and friends were
summoned when his symptoms be-
came threatening and were at his
bedside. Most devout among these
were Mrs. McCallum and Miss Sher-
man. Both were constantly in at
tendance. The funeral services will
be held here and in Ohio. The inter
ment will be at the family lot, Mans
field, o.. probably on Thursday.
Brief services will be held here Tues
day. and the train bearing the body
and friends will leave here Tuesday
night.
About l o'clock this morning Mr..
Sherman rallied slightly ana turned
himself in bed, but then gradually sank
until the end came. Among those at the
house were Mr.. and Mrs. Colgate Hoyt
of New York, Mr.. and Mrs. Wiborg
of Cincinnati, Mrs. William X. Otis
of New York, p. t. Sherman, son of
General Sherman, Charles NJ. Sher-
man of Chicago and Miss Lizzie
Sherman. General Miles and Mrs.
Miles, hoei fcfs for home shortly after
but were recalled, arriv-
ing a few minutes after the death of
the venerable statesman. Death oc-
Cured in the family home on X
street, which he decided some weeks
ago to his adopted daughter, Mrs.
McCallum His estate is conserva
lively estimated at million dollars.
Though John Sherman was not
officially connected with the govern
ment at the time of his death the
President, as a mark of special honor,
personally prepared an expression of
the nation S grief in the form of
proclamation descriptive of the per
sonal qualities and services of the de
deceased statesman. The state de-
partment notified its representatives
abroad of his death. Flags are at
half mast. The President went in
person to the residence to express
his grief. Being informed of the
funeral arrangements the President
decided not to delay his departure
for Canton tonight. He will attend
the funeral services at Mansfield.
The funeral will be held at the
Sherman residence Wednesday after
noon. Services will be held at Mans
field Thursday, attended by Presi-
dent Mckinley.

Most Important Diplomatic
Event In a Generation
Is Announced.
AN ANGLO-GERMAN BOND
Movement Whereby a Readjust-
ment Of the Balance of Powers
In Europe Is Effected.
England's '.Splendid Isolation" Dis
appears Together With China's
Hope of Escape.

London, Oct. 22-Germany and Eng
land have formed an alliance to main
tain the territorial integrity Of China
and to keep ports Open The announce
ment OF this Angio-German agreement
signifies the most important diplomatic
event In almost a generation. II i'm
plies far more than it's application to
the far eastern problem. 1t means
nothing less than the readjustment Of
the balance of power In Europe and
the world. The alliance Is ostensibly
formed to maintain the territorial in
tegrity Of China, and to keep her ports
open.
No one imagines that there will be a
dominant partner In this alliance. as In
the cnse OF the Franco Russian COM
bine- Nobody with any knowledge Of
the emperor's character can believe
that he will tnke a subordinate part
In any compact or policy. The supreme
fact OF all this is that the alliance
makes for pence and that the danger
Of general European war, which un-
dOubtediy has been coming closer and
closer for the past two years. is pushed
back by months. If not by years. Few
pretend that there are strong elements
Of stability In this Anglo -Teutonic COM
bine. but II will not he altogether ephe-
neral Even France. In her widest
national paroxysms. will not be so mad
a. to fling herself against double foe.
Az far as the immediate effect on
tho Chinese question Is concerned.
there In much to be hoped for. Eng
lands splendid isolation disappears
and 10 do any hopes Of great Russian
or other ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Ii is almost
Uncomfortable In the present situation
that Russia alone. or I'm combine with
France. would undertake to execute
any designs actively or passively op-
posed by all the other powers Thus
disappears. therefore, China's hopes OF
escaping the Just consequences of her
crimes by reason of quarrels among
the nations. The question, therefore.
may soon narrow down to whether
China will continue to defy united CIV
llization.

A POLITICAL EPIC.
Another Prophecy of the Finish of
Mf. Bryan-Guaranteed to
Come True.

Twill be two weeks from tomor-

Till that overwhelming sorrow
Shall 'ertake the man from Lin
coin with the atmospheric jaw;
Then he II see his little finish
And his hat band will diminish.
When be hears the news at night
time that will send him home to ma.
Twill be just one little fortnight
And not one viii be a short night
For the man who talks and worries
DER his prospects for defeat;
In the meantime money talking
Louder than the Platte man 5
squawking,
And it, saying, 6ve-to-one shots,
that Bill Bryan viii be beat.
Fourteen days of weaSy waiting
Till the Demmies will be skating
On the big Salt River stretches
leading toward oblivion;
Fourteen days and then the voting,
Which will send the Colonel
toting
All his plunder to the woodland
where he long since should have gone.
Two more preaching davs called
Sundays,
Two more Sunday nights and Mon
days.
And the story viii be over as we
see it ending now:
Then he'll wander to his ranchlet
And he II weep into the branchlet
As he gets his picture taken
watering the brindle COW.
