ing to bring about the immediate and
peaceful adjustment of the differences be-
tween the employers and emp.Sse has
not been disclosed. it was openly adj
mitted in authoritative sources that such
an endenvor was in progress.
President Mitchell the head of the
striking miners organization, expressed
the belief that operators had decided to
offer the miners an increase OF wages,
but he, too. declined to admit whether 10

Pennsylvania bituminow coal fields
which may have tho effect of bringing
the soft coal mine workers into the

struct mine workers that they are not
to load coal for shipment into markets
formerly supplied by anthracite opera
tors.
President Mitchell said that he HAD

too. They are no longer taking 1t for
granted that Mckinley la inyincible, and
sceffing at those who Intimate that he is
not. The betting Is running toward Bryan
also, and that is the best barometer OF
the public sentiment.
Two months ago the Mckinley rooters
were Offering odds OF four and FIVE to one.
When Bryan abandoned the silver issue
the betting was three to one, then five to
two, two and half to one, and the odds
have kept getting smaller with every
large bet until now the Mckinley men villa
give no better than two to one.
Mr.. Croker has invested 500 900 OF his

Every Tammany man who has money

all he can to stir up the democrats in the
interior OF the State as we'll as in the
city. He expects to give Bryan 200 900
majority In tho city, and is working with
equal zeal to cut into the republican vote
and reduce the republican majorltles In

Nor are they making much noise about IL.
They are going on the old wise theory that

their efforts the enormous majority which
Mckinley received In 1895 Will be wlYed

Boston, September 27.--The Globe to-
