CONVENTION MEETS TO-DAY.
Most OF Delegates VIII Reject Increase

SCRANTON. Pa. Oct. 1.-THE con-
vcntlOn OF the anthracite miners now
on strike throughout the entire hard
coal fields In Pennsylvania VIII begin
In this city tomorrow morning for the
purpose Of considering the ten per cent
net Increase In wages proffered them
by nearly all the mine operators in the
region. What the outcome OF the con-
ventlon VIII be Is all matter OF specu-
latlon. and opinions expressed tonight
by the leaders are widely divergent.
The delegates to the convention who
began arriving today have all sorts OF
Instructions from their local unions on
the proposition OF the operators. Most
OF them row on the ground will vote
10 reject the ten per cent Increase un-
less the operators make further con-
cessions.
Many OF the miners will not favor an
advance unless the operators give a
guarantee that the increase will be
kept In force for fixed length OF time.
Others want the union recognized be-
fore they will accept the proposition,
In other grievances.
The belief is general that in the alb
sence of any uniform instructions
among the delegates the chances OF
settlement by this convention are rath-

FRENCH COURSE APPROVED.

WASHINGTON. oct. 1.-THE Ameri-

given satisfactory turn 90 the Chinese
negotiations and were Il not for reports

part u some OF the powers the out

II appears that besides answering the
specific propositions advanced By the
French government. the American re-
ply expressed cordial approval OF the

The memorandum closes with a
phrase In which the president expresses
belief that In the eyes of the French
government the reservation which this
government has made on constitutional
grounds viii not be understood as pre-
venting the opening OF negotiations. as
the president hopes they VIII begin at

HEBREW CHARITIES.
Annual Report shows an Expenditure
During the Year OF t145.73i.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE corpora
ton entitled the Hebrew Charities Of
the City Of New York held It's annual
meeting last night. Reports for the
year ending September 20 last showed
an increase in the work OF the society
during the past year which was largely
due to an increase in immigration. The
most marked Increase was In immi-
grants from Roumania. where the Jews
have been subjected to bitter Dersecu-
tlon for some time past. A small group
Of New York Jews has taken up the
work Of caring for these refugees and
has thus far sent about 1000 10 places
in the interior where work has been
procured for them.
The total expenditures during the
gear were s1l5.734. There were more
than 10000 applications for relief. Al
though the recurrt Mt applications often
came from persons who had been here
many years. DIR. Frankel said there
was one very encouraging feature.
namely: That there are practically no
Amcrican-born Jews who are really
in need Of relief.

gan. II you're willing to listen"
A few voices responded: I'VE are

Bryan began: If I were an imper-
ialist would call out an army and
suppress you. but / am not"
This sally seemed to please the young
men and most OF them laughed and
jeered. Some Of them jeered TO such
an extent. however. that a policeman
was compelled to enter the crowd and
arrest several Of the noislest.
After this. however. while Interrupt
tlons were frequent they generally took
the shape OF questions. One brought
out this specific declaration rom Bry-
an:
THE Democratic party is for free

sent OF any other nation"

cessful trial trip today. On the west
ern run over a 32-knot course an aver
age Of 17Sg knots was made: the
average for four hours was 17.e5 with a
strong tide allowance in favor Of the
ship. In a squirt a speed If 1854 knots
was attained. The specifications re-
quire the ship to make 16 knots an
hour.
BY the terms of the contract the Wis

ium was offered for excess of speed
over the requirements of the contract.
Nevertheless she has beaten the rec
ord of the Oregon at every point
