yesterday, when they decided to accept
the 25 per cent. cut which went into
effect on September 10 and against

time.
Two out of the three drawing shops

SENATOR HILL AT RICHMOND.
Cites the Dred Scott Decision as
Argument Against Imperialism.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
Richmond. Va, Oct. "A large
crowd assembled tonight at the Reser-
voir Park Casino, mile from the city,
TO hear Hon. David Il. Hill. of New
York, speak. Mr.. Hills speech was
largely confined to constitutional ar
gument against Imperialism He hard
ly touched upon the financial issues.
He said that, as imperialism was the
paramount issue, it was natural and
proper that he should confine his ad-
dress to that theme.
He stood squarely on the Dred Scott
decision, under which, he argued, the
constitution applied to all that terri
tory held by the United States. He
denied that this feature of the decision
had been either formally or informal
ly reversed, and claimed that 1t
brought the territories and our new
possessions under the constitution Mr..
Hill left late tonight for Danville.
where he will sneak tomorrow.

MR.. MITCHELL HOPES FOR
GREATER CONCESSIONS
The Railroads Hold the Key to the
Situation.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Indianapolis. Oct. 2. - President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
has written national headquarters here
that he is confident of securing greater
concessions than those offered by the
anthracite coal operators and the rail-
road companies for the striking miners
in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Mitchell says the
railroads hold the key to the situation
and it is useless to deal with individual
operators.
1t is felt at headquarters that an ad-
vance of 10 per cent. would mean moth
ing under sliding scale, as the opera
tors could reduce the price of coal. 1t
is also felt that the concessions offered
on price Of powder is not satisfactory
and means nothing.

of the favorite, Commando. Coming
down the stretch, Commando was two

Beau Gallant up with rush on the

either side was guilty of any improper
or unlawful condust towaras any OF the

tho jury was excused from further SER
vice, as it had been rumored, and these
rumors coming to the ears OF the court
that the jurymen or a portion of them,
had been bribed, or at least an attempt
had been made at bribery. On the
night of the third of July, Austin Dodge.
one OF tho jurors, was arrested while

Dodge came to him and asked for $500
or that he would come before the grand
jury and prove the charges OF bribery
against him as we'll as others. Sullivan
claims that he gave him to understand
that his wishes would be complied with,
and that he took witnesses to the depot
to provo that the only object he had in
offering him the money was to prove his
own innocence. This is stoutly denied
by Dodge and his friends. The whole
matter will now be heard in the court.

ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION

New York, July 1.-THE World says:
A plot to assassinate President Nc
Kinley has been frustrated. 1t was con-
cocted by a group of Spanish and Cuban
conspirators who had headquarters in
New York.
One of the plotters weakened and sent
a warning letter to a member OF the Re-
publican national committee. The let
ter was placed in the hands of Secretary
Charles Dick, who referred it to Chair
mao Odell Of the New York state COM
mittee, for investigation. Chairman
Odell engaged detective, who speedily
verified certain allegations made in the
warning letter. Thereupon Mr.. Odell
reported to Secretary Dick, who laid all
the facts before Chairman Mark Hanna.
Mr.. Odells report caused great alarm
among the presidents close friends and
advisers.
Mr.. Odell made it plain that he re-
gal ided the plot as matter of the ut
most seriousness and urged that OK
treme precautions be taken to keep the
president out OF harms reach.
Messrs. Dick and Hanna laid the
whole matter before the president short
ly before he departed for Canton, They
instructed Mr.. Odell to continue his in
vestigation and cautioned him to work
with the utmost secrecy.
To World reporter last night Mr..
Odell admitted that he and certain
members of the national committee had
discovered plot to assassinate the
president.
"Yes, it is true" he said, "but I re-
gret exceedingly that the matter be-
came public.
He was extremely anxious that no
reference whatever should be made to
the matter.
