Coal Strike Prospects.

It is too soon for the indulgence of
much optimism in connection with the
coal strike, although confident predictions
of an early settlement are being made
at Republican headquarters in New York
and Chicago. Perhaps it may be held that
the offer of the Individual operators to pay
a net wage advance of ten per cent has
broken the ice. and that il may mark the
beginning of the end of the struggle. But,
on the other side, it must be remembered
that the tie-up of the whole anthracite
region IS so nearly complete that the stu
alton appears to be at the mercy of the
United Mine Workers. Their advantage is
- of so substantial character that it hard
ly seems reasonable to expect that they
will sacrifice it for the questionable good
of any concessions yet offered to them.
One principal difficulty with the terms
announced by the small operators, is that
they are not to be binding beyond further
orders the miners are satisfied that un-
less the Coal Trust is forced to bind itself
to an agreement good for year, il will
return to the old order of things as soon
as it can stock up with reserve coal after
the Presidential election. Therefore. they
are not likely to be much impressed by
jug-handied propositions of the present de-
scriptioE-
There are two other unacceptable condi-
tions in the small operators offer For
one thing the union is ignored; for another.
a proposed reduction in the price of powder
fror1 TWO dollars and seVenty-five cents per
keg to a dollar and fifty cents ia to be reek-
oned in calculating the advance. That is,
the money relation of a keg of powder to
ton or miners car of coal is to be ascer-
tanned, and the proportional difference be-
tween the old price and the new deducted,
before the ten per cent is applied.
This is far short of the Mine Work
ers' demands. They have insisted upon
twenty per cent increase of wages, and
all the benefit of the reduced charge for
powder Practically the arrangement

Campaign Developments.

The campaign has yet five weeks to run
and everybody Will be glad to see the enc
of it. This is especially true OF unfortn"
nate candidates who are expected to deliV-
el twenty or thirty open-air speeches
day, and who must look forward to the day
of deliverance with all the fervor possible
to man with sore throat.
In many ways it is a notable campaign,
although on the surface there does not ap-
pear to be much in the way of new meth
DDS on either side of the fight. Mr.. Bryan
appeals directly to the masses of the peo-
pie as he did in 1896. Hanna has men like
Roosevelt to make a noise while the cor
ruption fund and corporate coercion are
being worked to affect results in doubtful
States. The same old tricks are being
played, though probably without the sue
cess of four years ago. Manufacturers
here and there are declaring that they
must close down their plants unless Nc
KiRley is elected. Financiers are heard to
speak with bated breath of vast mysterious
deals which must be dropped should Mr..
Bryan land in the White House; and pro-
Yincial and country bankers are telling
their customers that credits must be close
ly curtailed while any danger fingers that
We are to have Democratic Administra-
tion during the next Presidential term.
Such things. are what Hanna calls "a
campaign of education" but it is educa-
tion of a sort of which people do not have
TO take two full courses in succession, in
order to gain the knowledge it supplies.
AS q systematic and highly organized bit
Of political machinery of a novel kind it
produced results last time which need not
be expected now There is, indeed. vast
quantity OF burnt powder that Marcus a.
Hanna is trying to use over again. How
ever, that does not so much matter as
compared with the policy of his twenty
million dollar fund for. practically, the
purchase of the election That is where
his advantage comes in, and the menace to
Democratic success and the perpetuity ot

MUST GUARD MEMORIES.
Peculiar Conditions Attaching to the
Inheritance of q Fortune.


NEW YORK, Oct 6.-Widowed and be-
reft Of her children, Mrs. Esther Woods,
dying In the home which her husband had
built for her when she was a young and
happy mother. sought in her last will and
testament TO hold together all these me-
mentos of her happy past, and Low her
heirs at law are seeking to break her will.
Richard H Woods was one OF the veal
thy men of a generation ago when Second
Avenue was one Of the most fashionable
of the city's thoroughfares, and at the
southwest corner of Third Street and Sec
ond Avenue he built home. For its day
il was "a handsome house. three stories
in height, built of red brick, with stoop
and trimmings of brown stone.
When he died he left the house to his
widow, as well as a handsome fortune in
bank stocks and other valuable securities.
Here the widow continued to reside up TO
the time of her death. in August, 1893. and
among the most priced and carefully
guarded Of all her treasures were por-
traits in oil of her late husband and OF
the two handsome sons who had grown up
and died within those walls
Although Mrs. Woods had no Immediate
descendants she had scores of nephews
and nieces and others near enough of kin
10 be her legal heirs had she died intes-
tate. Among all of these she chose for
her chief legatees two nieces whom she
had never SEEN Sarah and Esther Hart,
daughters of the late Allen Hart, Of Illi-
nois-
To each of them Mrs Woods left $500
specifically, and then, after providing for
the payment OF many other small be-
quests to relatives and friends, she left TO
them the house at 3S East Third Street
and all OF the residuaTy estate, amounting
to nearly s25o,G00 but the gift is coupled
with this strange condition:
Lucy Hart and her sister Esther must
live in the house all of their lifetime:
they must not Nsublet it and they must
keep it in repair, but at no time are they
to be the owners of the property. At their
deaths however, they are to have the
right 10 bequeath ii to such OF their chill
dren as they may designate-a condition
not likely to interest them much, as they
are both elderly spinsters.
If they keep this condition all their lives
and also carefully guard and care for the
portraits of Mr.. Woods and of the sons,
William ]. Woods and Harvey Woods,
they are to become the residuary legatees,
otherwise their whole share of the estate
is to go to Martha Ann Hart the widow Of
Harvey Hart, and her daughter, Imogen L.
GGion. on similar terms"
The Hart sisters have accepted the
property on the terms given, and are now
living in the house, but the heirs at law
think there is a chance to break the will
on the ground that the conditions giving
to the Hart -isters the residuary estate
cannot be fulfilled until their lives cease.
This question will be raised before Sur
rogate Fitzgerald today by T C. Hoyt of
Bowers & Sands, and other lawyers, when
the executors are to offer an accounting

FIGHTING FOR COAL FIELDS.
PennsyIvanin Farmers Want Their
Lands Heoptfoned.


Lands Heoptfoned.
WASHINGTON. Pa, Oct 6.-A mass
meeting of farmers, representing eight
townships in Washington county, and
holding nearly 0.o00 acres Of coal land.
was held yesterday afternoon near Pros
perity, and it was decided by unanimous
vote TO test the validity Of the coal op-
tions taken up by John Kerr. OF Green's
burg The cases will be fought in the
county courts.
The options were taken by agents some
time ago tor SIS per acre. IN taking the
options neither the boundaries nor the
description Of the farms were given.
Some of the farmers have refused to
give UP their coal without fight. and
others were aroused TO action Since then
Ict1 county coal fields and have optioned
the same territory from s35 to $50 per
acre. Some of the farmers have re-
cptioned, while others are holding their
coal for still a higher figure. II the Kerr
options are invalided the farmers in the
eight townships will make over 81, COO, ,0G0
The present options are valued at about
81, ,000. .000 and now the farmers can re-
ceive at least twice this amount. and they
think it worth while to make q light on
the validity of the former options.
J. G. Clarke, Adam Wier. and 7. w
Mintea have been appointed a committee
to make the fight fer the farmers, who
will be assessed according to the amount
of acreage each one holds.

More Chinese Perady.

The suspicious promptness with which
the Empress Dowager -'deposed" Prince
Tuan and some other Of her anti-foreign
advisers. when advised that she must do 50
in order to gain any consideration at the
hands Of the powers, ought to have been
enough to warn the Administration that it
could expect nothing in the line of good
faith from the crowned fend. TIE Hsi-
The convenience of the fiction that Tuan
has been removed and will be punished Is
something we are bound to admit; because
it affords the powers a common ground
upon which they can get together in ami
ty.
There is another aspect Of the case. how
ever, which is not so satisfactory Well
informed people in China declare that while
the Empress Dowager is bowing before
the storm in outward appearance. she Is
doing nothing of the sort in reality They
say that secret edicts are being spread
over the Empire calling upon all yiceroys,
governors, and generals to exert them
selves in raising money and troops, and to
aid her in killing the foreign devils and in
excluding their fellows from the country
forever.
Active mobilization of Chinese troops is
in progress at various strategic points. The
Chinese feet is acting in a hostile manner,
and probably viii need to be disposed OF

are strong indications that the Chinese
