Commenting on these utterances, even the liberal Chronicle admits it is quite impossible for any alliance to exist between the liberal and nation aliSt parties.
 In the meantime the bitterness of the conservative fight over the Right Hon Horace Curzon Plunkett (one of the most important government off cia's in Ireland. who ran for the south division of Dublin county in the con s-rvative interest and was defeated by the nationalist candidate, owing, it is alleged, to Mr Plunketts friendship for q Catholic lady of Dublin), and the nationalist split between the followers of MesSrs Helly and O'Brien continues, resulting in intending correspondence and all signs pcrtend. as the Times and ether papers ruefully admit, a period of unexnmpled unrest in Ire land.

A Desperate Man Forms Plot to Mur-
 der Two NIflliorlaries.

Chicago, III, Oct POS. I. Morris was arrested last evening for an al legged attempt upon the life of John W. Gates, ex-presldent of the Ameri can Steel and Wire Go. When search ed at the police station, two large re- volvers were found concealed in his pockets.
 It is asserted also that Morris had designs upon the life of William J. Crimson, general manager of the Kan sas City and Southern railroad, whom Morris, it is alleged, had enticed to this city by means of q telegraph pur- porting to have been signed by Gates. Crimson called upon MT Gates in his office in the Roolery building. After q nasty consultation, the two men de- cidcd that Morris originated the scheme, both having received threat ening letters from him.
 Morris was captured near the offices of the Illinois Steel company ill the Rookery building. He was for merly in the employ of Gates, and maintains that the latter owes him $59,000 Morris could apparently give no intelligible explanation of the affair and refused to assign any reason for being in possession of the two revol- vers MT Gates is a multi-millionalre, and returned only a short time since from Europe, where he spent the sum- ner.

GALVESTON RECOVERING.

Wonderful is the story of the re- sumption of business, in Galveston since the flood and tornado which tore the city to pieces just month ago. A letter from that city says:
 Three weeks ago Galveston was burying her dead by the hundreds. She was cut off from the world and was under martial law. To-day all her lines of communication are re established, every avenue of trade and commerce has been re-opened, the re- ceipts of cotton Oct , d7,S71 kales) were per cent greater than Or tho corresponding day last yeaE every business house and every iygustry is in operation and the city is doing every bit of business her cramped and crippled energies and facilities will permit. Only four small mercantile es- tablishments have stopped. None of these was of much importance. Every bank is strong, and is lending aid to its customers and connections. There is work for every able bodied man in the city. The rails of the one bridge. that spans the bay are kept hot with. the trains that come freighted with the products of the fields of the south. West, the grain and the cotton des- tined to feed and to clothe multitude of people beyond the seas. The wharves and piers-battered, disfig. ured and broken by wind and wave have been hastily rebuilt, and are now lined with ocean steamers into which cargo is being loaded as fast as trainf can bring and men can handle ths freight. The sound of the hammer and the saw the trowel and the stean hoist is heard on every side.

MITCHELL TALKS.
He Says Notice From Miners.
 Will Not End Stroke.
NO PARTIAL RESUMPTION.|

The First Public Utterance From
 President Mitchell Since Agreement
 Between Galleries and Strikers-No
 Proba bility of Conference To-day.
 Hazleton, Pa, Oct 2O-President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers, practically admitted to a representa- tive of the Associated Press to-day that if every operator in the region were to post notices similar to that now be- ing tackled up by some of the mine owners this ac,ion would in itself prob ably not end the strike. He was ask ed if ah the companies were to post such notices what his next step would be. At first he hesitated and then re- piled:
 Under the conditions laid down by the Scranton miners convention there could be no partial resumption of work''
 When it was suggested that his re- ply did not answer the question, he said: Well, all I will say is that if all the companies post notices it would clear up matters considerably. It would remove some of the obstacles that now present themselves.'
 This is the first public statement that AIr Mitchell has made bearing on d settlement of the contest since the operators at Scranton to the decided step that the reduction of powder price must be considered in figuring cut the advance in wages.
 Notices similar to those already post ed by individual operators in this region were issued to-day by J. s. Wejtz and the company operating Silver Brook colliery; DodSon and com pany, owners of mines at Morea and Beaver Brook, and the Mill Creek Coal company which operates col lierieS at Buck Mountain and New Boston in Schuylkill county.
 The only large individual operators in this region that have not posted what is known as the second notice, are CoXe Brothers and company. G. B. Marlle and company and the Le.lgf1 and Wilkesbarre Coal company. There is much interest manifested here as to what steps the Markle firm will take. This firm is the only one in this region which has not consented to give it's; employees an increase of any sort.
 Nothing has been said here about another convention and there is no probability of a conference of strike leaders here to-day.

People Are Awaiting Convention.
 New York, Oct 2O.-Major General Leonard A. Wood, governor of Cuba arrived to-day on the steamer Yucatan from Havana. He will proceed i'm mediately to Washington.
 General Wood said: q came up from Havana at the request of the department and to make preparations to take my family down to Cuba. shall return to Havana before the end of October. in order to be on hand for the constitutional convention, which meets on November 9th next. Af- fairs are quiet in Cuba, and the people are busy preparing for the convention. The death rate in Havana, including yellow fever. is smaller than for many years. The recent increase in yellow fever cases is attributed to the large immigratio of Spaniards. These inn miorants are not immunes and are pe- culiarly susceptible to the disease from the fact that they have little concep- ton of sanitation"

No More Long Distance Riding Per

mtted in Nassau County.
 Mineola, L. l., Ocr 2O.-Long dis tance bicycle contests by women will not be permitted in future in Nassau county. District Attorney James r. Niemann made a statement to that effect yesterday. Thursday night Mir Niemann sent Special Deputy Fur man to Valley Stream to stop the per fornance Of Marguerite Cast at that place, but the deputy was not com p1lled to act, as Miss Cast had stopped of her own accord.
 In an interview yesterday District Attorney Niemann said: "Section 3S3 of the penal code provides against rid ing on a bicycle in a contest of speed or endurance for d period of more than twelve hours out of twenty-four. Miss Cast was permitted to complete her task of ,riding 2,0GO miles last week, but when she started off on another thousand it appeared 10 be time to put an end to the exhibition. l under stand that the authorities of New York county invoked tile same law to ston the long distance contests in Madison Snuare Garden.
 "Such feat as that performed by Miss Cast encourages others to try to repeat or excel it. If such perform auces were allowed to continue lot of women would he connecting with each other and would SO OvertaX them selves that they would be untitted for anything else in after life. Some of them might possibly lose their lives as the result of their efforts. Many of the residents of the section in which Miss Casts performance Took place denounced the exhibition. I am fond of wheeling and favor all out door snnrts that are beneficial. hut ! think that Such exhibitions as that of Miss Cast should not he tolerated in a civilized community"

ROOSEVELT IS ANSWERED.
Chairman Jones. of the Democratic
 National Committee, Nails a Lie.


 Chicago. Oct 2O.-Chairman J. K. Jones, of the democratic committee, has issued a statement replying to the references by Governor Roosevelt and others to the American Cotton con- pany, of which Senator Jones is an of ficer, and which, it is charged, is trust. In his statement, Senator Jones said:
 'The American Cotton company, with which 1 am connected, is no more trust than any commercial house, any stock farm. any cotton plantation. any other industrial enter prise in the United States. The com pany, as 1 have heretofore explained, operates on patent right. ROOSe velt's allegation that I am connected with a trust is as mendacious as the republican charge that the democratic party is composed of anarchists and that democrats contemplated an as- sault upon the supreme court Of the United States. If Governor Roosevelt is ready to move for the abolition and prohibition of all patents and copy rights. I will consider the question: The customers of the American Cotton company, operating under a patent have as many rights. or ought to have. as the customers of the companv oD- erating under a convri@ht that sell the 'Roreh Riders and other works pub ished by Roosevelt
 "Recause the democrats onDose trusts and monoDOlies is no reason why democrats slOuId . It engage in legiti- mate business"
