Conference With Leaders.

Chicago, Sept 24.-W. J. Bryan ar
rived in Chicago today and was driven
at once to the Democratic headquarters
where he went into conference with
various members of the national Demo-
cratic committee. Among those at the

d. OfBrien of Minnesota, ]. d. Campau
of Michigan and r. Shively of Wiscon-
sin, Congressman Shafroth of Colorado,
and Governor Longino of Mississippi
and James Hamilton Lewis of Wash
ington.
Z came to Chicago especially for a
conference" said Col. Bryan. "All this
talk about my changing my dates at the
behest of the committee is childish and
not worth replying to. I wanted to talk
with the committee now for the reason
that I have three days at my disposal
and when / come through on October 3,
I will be so rushed that I will have no
time for such purpose. As to Mr.. Han
mas assertions concerning me, L have
nothing to say. The public understands
the situation. The agitation of the trust
question is meeting with success. 1t is
something that appeals to every work
ing man. am going back to Lincoln
tonight and SO far as I know now will
follow my original itinerary"
j. Hamilton Lewis came to Chicago at
Col. Bryan'S special request. He will
accompany Mr.. Bryan into Nebraska
where he will make speeches in Bryan's
district
Vice Chairman Stone will return to
New York tomorrow. 1.-The outlook in
New York is bright he said, though
will not say that I am confident of
carrying the state. The report that the
to close the New York headquarters is
nonsense"

BURTON PREDICTS.
Says That Kansas Will GO Republican
by 2H. 900.


J. r. Burton was in Toplxea today and
gave out the following statement:
ST have been in more than one-haif
of the counties in this campaign. I
have been in every congressional district
except the First. For the past two weeks
I have been out on the firing line in the
Seventh district, and 1 find that our
party has made substantial gains every
where. I have taken the greatest pains
possible to determine the extent of our
gains and losses, and feel warranted In
predicting that the state is safe by a
substantial plurality for the national
state, congressional and county tickets
The spirit of our party Is far better than
1t has been at any time since 1883 There
is more courage, more confidence, and
greater determination on the part of the
rank and file. There is less friction with
ing the party than we have had at any
time for ten years. Very few Republic
cans are disgruntled, OF giving aid and
comfort to the enemy.
IF the Republican army in Kansas
continues fighting as it has been since
the national tickets were made until
election day, we will carry this state by
rs 900 plurality 1t should be the pur-
pose of every Republican to put down
all factional feeling within the party
and work harmoniously and energetical-
ly for victory in November. If we do
this Kansas will take it's place at the
head of the Republican column. the
position she held in the old days OF her
glory and power

MAJOR BURKEHERE.
Buffalo Bilrs Shadow Arrives in
Topeka.

Major John NJ. Burke, advance man
for Buffalo Bill, was in town today
Major Burke is just as interesting as
Buffalo Bill himself. He has seen as
much Of the frontier life and is just
as well acquainted with the Indians
and the old plainsmen. The major is
known to the Indians as Buffalo BilPs
scar-face man" The name was given
him on account of a long scar from be-
the mouth. The scar was received in
Maryland during the civil war, and was
caused by a bowie knife.
When the Sioux war broke out in
1890 Buffalo Bill and the major were
in Europe, and they at once deserted
the show and started for this country.
The Ogallas would treat only with
Major Burke, as he is a great fayorite
with that tribe. The major says that
if it had not been for the interference of
the philanthropists and the Indian
have been captured and the Sioux war
averted. "Buffalo Bill had been or
dered to go out and bring in Sitting
Bull, and was 20 miles on his way when
he was overtaken by message recall
ing him. The phi1anthropists had got
in their work and persuaded the presi-
dent to recall Cody and adopt their
course. The result. as everybody knoy's,
was the death of Sitting Bull and & lot
of soldiers and Indians -
Major Burke has been with Buffalo
Bill for the past 25 years in the capacity
of advance agent; in fact he has been
with Cody ever since he started in the
show business.
He says that the Buffalo Bill wild
west show gave $3.50 to the Galveston
sufferers.

ing of the camapign throughout the en-
tire country has had much to do with
this enlivening interest

his recent statement that there were no
trusts He answered:
Il repeat that all the organizations, or
combinations of capital that were amen
able to the law and that had the power
to oppreSS the people, have been sup
pressed, and have been dealt with ac-
cording to the law. They do not now
exist, and if they did exist they would
be dealt with as the law in such mat
ters demand
Concerning the challenge issued by
Chairman Edmisten of the national Pop

sue, Mr.. Hanna said that If Chairman
Edmisten wished to take issue with him

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept 24-The Sec
ond week Of the Mine Workers strike
finds no change in the Wyoming val
ley. All the collieries are idle with the
exception of the one at Mocanaqua op-
Grated by the West End Coal company.
No attempt was made to resume work
at any of the mines this morning. 1t
was expected that there would be tr0u-
bic at a washery- operated by the Le-
high and Wilkesbarre company, but the
men who worked there last week did
not report this morning. There was
large crowd of idlers in the vicinity, and
1t is probable that had the men reported
for work they would have been inter-
rupted and driven away.
Some of the strikers gathered about
No. mine, at South Wilkesbarre, where
1t was reported yesterday, work would
be resumed today. but none of the en-
ployRs appeared and the crowd soon
left. At strikers headquarters they re-
port no change in the situs ton. If
anything the men seem more determin-
ed than ever.

There is no change in the Wyoming

The present city hospital for conta-
