Scranton. Pa. Oct. 12.-Eight hund- red and ffty-seven miners who hold m their hands the power to end or tu continue the anthracite coal miners strike, which has been in progress foi more than three weeks, met in conVen- tion here today for the purpose of con sidcring the ten per cent net advance in wages offered by the opera tors and adjourned until tomorrow, without talk ing any action on their employers proposition.
 Both of today's sessions were devoted to organizing the convention and to speeches by many of the delegates on the mine owners concession. The con VentiOn, after it was permanently or Eanized, went into secret session. but It was learned from authoritative sources that nothing of a definite na- ture was suggested which would lead to solution of what is to the miners a knotty problem. From the trend of the remarks of delegates it was gath cred that the ten per cent proposition as IL now stands has very little chance of being accepted.

The Vice Presidential Candidate in
 Maryland.

HaSerstown, Md. Oct. 12.-Mr. Stev- enson, the democratic candidate for Viccpresidcnt and those who are with him on tour through the state. reached HacerstoWn this evening. On the way several stops were made. the first being at Middletown, a republican stronghold. Here the inhabitants turned out in considerable numbers. aboT half of them rushing forward to take Mir. StGvenson's hand while the others stood on the other side of the street and shouted for Mckinley.
 At Boonesborough. the next stop three or four hundred people had gath cred to hear Mr. Stevenson. who ad- dressed them briefly on trusts and i'm perialism. This was the only speech he made before reaching Hagerstown. where he met with a reception which Was little short of an ovation. Tine streets were lined with people. many houses were brilliantly illuminated and fireworks blazed and sputtcred in every direction. He devoted his remarks to trusts and imperialism.

He said: That should not have been done. It is not right and it never should have occurred. Tn order that no such thing might happen J sent word down there that the light must never be thrown on any building in which people woi k or live. I should not like it if somebody should put q stereopticon or searchlight on a building across the street and throw the light into the democratic club. Such things should never be done, and it is too bad that this oc- cured"

THE OPENING SESSION

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 12.-The miners convention met today in Music hall and was addressed by Mitchell. H. congratulated the miners on the growth of the union and on their con duct during the strike. He declared that the mine owners had often pro- Noked the men to ou,-lursts which would furnish an excuse for invoking military force, and begged the men whether they decided to end or con tinue the strike to consider it their duty to refrain from violation of the law.
 in regard to the acceptance or he rc- Jcctiun of the offered incrlusc of ten per cent, his speech was ngn-commit- tai, but he recommended strongly that the mine owners be asked to agree to definite period during which the in crease would be in effect and that an effort be made to arrange for the Cs- tablishment of the same method of al- justing wages in the anthracite as in the bituminous regions through d joint annual convention of miners and em- ployers. A committee on credentials was appointed and the convention took q recess till 1:30.

tion. Three weeks ago it took Col. Wilson off the ticket and put him just where he is now, but that action did not meet the approval of the colonel and his friends. The next day it put him back and took Mir. Smith off. Then he had to be restored to satisfy his friends. 1t seemed as though noth- ing could be done to please both sides. When it was suggested by Col. Wilson, The Republican became the most ear nest and persistent advocate of the coin Tipping proposition. Even that was found open to objection and noth- ing came of it. The Republican was discouraged then. It seemed as if every avenue to democratic harmony were closed, but now in the twinSling of an eye the whole situation is cleared. God moves in a mysterious way.

WORK RESUMED
United Verde Disaster May Ultimate
 ly Prove Benefit.

Jerome, Ariz., Oct. n.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican.) )- Things around the works are taking shape this morning and most of the men are at work. Two furnaces are working. The cave has settled as far as it will settle and the work of repair ing the damage has already begun. As far as the cave is concerned it seems to have done the mine deal of good. The men think that dangerous places heretofore existing in the mine are now filled in and the danger a thing of the past. The foundry. blacksmith shop, boiler shop and possibly the ma chine shop will be moved to other ground before starring up again. The power house is safe and sound. and there is no danger of the cave affect inS it. The shaft has net been dam aged in the least, so really the damage is nothing that canot be repaired cas- fly. or course the cost will be great to the company, but Senator Clark is ltot irving to borrow money SD early in the year. The railroad track will be repaired and the trains running to the depot in few days. In month from now stranger coming to Jerome would never be able to locate the pres ent cave.
 The mines in the Mineral Poirir coun- try owned by Ellis and partners are turning out better and better every day. There is a big ledge of higa grade gold ore in the main claim thai promises to make all parties concern ed wealthy. Assays run as high as $'O to the ton in gold. The claims worked by Pete Arnold are also turn ing out to be fine prospects. Other claims there are equally promising so there seems to be a good chance for the Mineral Point district to become a lively mining center.

Mir. smith has a number of followers in this town, but they are for Phe most part pretty scarce. Jerome is on record as being a strictly Wilson town. Where seems to he an idea prevalent among number of leading democrats that there is a nigger in the fence somewhere, and that some of the supposedly good Wilson men are real ly Murphy men, and are advocating pulling Wilson down With the outward idea of voting for Smith, but in reality of suppolting Murphy. Smith should either come down or own that he is afraid of all of Wilson's fair proposi- tiUns. There will be good sized crowd tonight to hear the speech of Mr. Smith

but the republican managers, following their usual custom, haze scaled this down. Thus the general feeling among republicans, it may be said. is that the republican plurality in New York state will not be less than S0.000. Whi-h is a margin sufficiently large to prevent any disputes.

IA RIVAL OF BRYAN
At Vineennes, Indiana, He Reminds His Hearers That They Occupy a Country Which Was Taken by the American People Without 0b- taining Consent of the Governed. Done With the Hoosier State.

Evansville Ind. Oct Ex-Governor Roosevelt concluded his Indiana tour tonight making two speeches i'm this city and speaking in both instances to large audiences.
 At Evansville Roosevelt made reply to a speech delivered yesterday by Mir Bryan. From the hall he went to the Grand opera house and addressed q second audience, constituting the elev- enth which has heard him speak since he left Indianapolis this morning. The day was characterized by large crowds and much enthusiasm, in which respect Evansville was not lacking.
 At Nincennes, Governor Roosevelt said in part: Speaking here in Vim cennes, I am inevitably reminded of the first expansion of the United States. It was here that George Roger Ciarke's troop of rillemen, joined by some of the old French Creole inhabi- tants. forced a British garrison to sur render and added what is a portion of the state of Indiana to the American union. And, gentlemen, they did it without asking the consent of the in habitants and much against the will of the British garrison, and although Thomas Jefferson was then guiding the councils of the nation he did not think that an infringement of the doctrine of the consent of the governed.
 MT. Bryan has just learned. thirty five years after the rest of us. that Abraham Lincoln was right in 1864. If he lives as long as I hope he will. for I wish him well in private life, have no ha in h. will ffza tar Mckinley was entirely right in 1900"

A CHINESE REFORMER.

This act has given rise to considerable excitement in military circles in Canton. as it is believed the object of the rcformcrs in raising ther flag at Wei Chou Is to denude Canton of troops so that they can seize the city.
 Admiral Ho is pursuing the rebels in q northeasterly direction from San Chun. A British expedition. consisting of the Twenty-second Bombay in- fantry, with artillery, is going to Row loon Hinterland, though the district is reported quiet.

BY EIGHTY THOUSAND
4 Conservative Estimate Of
 New YOrk's Majority
These Figures Have Been Reached By the Republican Managers By the Scaling Down Process Nothing Taken For Granted.

New York, Oct. 12-Thc republican, campaigners at the Fifth Avenue hotel have been looking over the field very carefully and have made q number of investigations in various parts of the state in an effort to find out, if possible. what the republican majority on No vember 6 is going to be. The question of whether there was to b. a majority has never troubled Chairman OdeH and his associates since the campaign be- gan. They have known all along that there was going to be a majority. and their only care has been to find out how large it was going tp be. The ic- publican campatSners are very con scrvatiVc. They have no wish tp be re- Sarded as false prophets. So. when one says to another. That community will give us 1000 majority" the other says, Are you sure? You had better scale it down" Thus everything is sealed down and the republicans will hot make any statements until they have what they consider to be sufficient data practically to eliminate guess work.
 The result of the investigations which they have carried on has led Jo d general belief ct headquarters that the ticket led by Mckinley and Roos2- welt will sweep down to the ci,y line with a plurality Of not less than 150,- coo. The republicans are willing to admit that Mir. Croker may be able to get majority of 7O,0OO for Bryan south of the Harlem bridge. Tn allowing this plurality to Mr. Croker, they do not bank as strongly on Kings county as the Hon. Walter B. Atterbury does Mir. Atterbuy says that Kings county will give a plurality oc 30o0O for Mckinley;
