An Agreement Between Ger

A New Chinese Program 10 be Submitted on
Which All the Powers Will
Doubtless Agree,
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Sept. 9.-(Sauirday, a. M
Apparently Germany's retreat from an
untenable position has been virtually ac-
complished. The Paris correspondent of
the Morning Post says:
IAN agreement on the Chinese program
has been arranged between France, Ger
many and Russia. 1t will be submitted
to the other powers within a few days.
The action recommended will be milder
than Germanys original proposal and it
is expected that all the powers will ac-
eept, The program.
The Cologne Gazette, in another semi
official statement, apparently intended
for consumption in the United States and
England, points out the serious position
resulting from Prince Tuan'S ascen-
dancy, 1.-The continued massacre of mis-
sionaries and converts and other indica-
tions that the anti-foreign movement is
directed from an influential centre" It
thinks that the situation thus created
'must appear intolerable even to those
powers favoring a policy of Indulgence
and forbearance."

(By the Associted Press.)

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 2S.-The coal
strike remains unchanged. The
conferences of mine operators and of
leading officials of the coal carrying roads
were plentiful Beyond the general
statement that the principal point un-
der discussion was the advisability or
practicability of granting the mine
workers a ten per cent advance in wages,
very little of the details of the meet
ings could be cleaned.
The operators generally expressed the
opinion that the increase could not be
granted and the operating expenses met
unless there was an advance in the
price of coal.
The larger operating companies how
ever, took rather a hesitatng view of
the proposition to further increase the
price of anthacite, contending that the
competition of bituminous coal was now
too sharp.
President Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, is rcticent on the general
question of accepting a ten per cent
increase without other concessions and
declined to be interviewed on that point.
Meantime the strike leaders are con-
tinuing their efforts 10 induce working
miners to join in the strike.

Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 2S.-William ].
at this place tonight. He arrived here at
$50 o'clock and Immediately departed to
the speaking place near the Corn Palace,
where he was met by one of the largest
crowds that has greeted him during his
campaign.
During the day Mr.. Bryan travelled 260
miles and made almost a dozen speeches.
He began the day with a three minute
speech at Elk Point, and his first speech
of length was made at Yankton. After
this speech he made long addresses in the
towns of Scotland, Mitchell, Woonsocket,
Huron, Redfield, Aberdeen. The crowds
were good at all the places where the
party stopped.
A feature noticeable at all the meetings
of the day was the number of flags dis
played. They were small in size, but they
were carried by almost everyone at each
stopping place in the State.
Mr.. Bryan was met at the depot here
by number of FlambeauX Clubs, prob
ably comprising 800 or a thousand torches.
1t was 8 o'clock before Mr.. Bryan be-
gan to speak and he spoke for about an
hour. He wanted the voters to think for
themselves and having done that they
should meet the issue like men, not be-
ing found the servile followers of
party name. He wanted not only the
electoral ticket elected but the State,
legislative and Congressional tickets as
we'll. He was especially anxious, he
said that Senator PettigTew should be
returned to the Senate. In this connec-
tion he took strong grounds for the
election of United States Senators by
direct vote of the people and he prom
sed that if elected President the next
-four years should see the enactment of
law to that end.
In response to an inquiry from the
crowd, Mr.. Bryan said that in dealing
with the Philippine question he would not
anticipate the possibility of a Congress
not in sympathy with himself in case
of his election. In that event he was
quite certain a friendly Congress would
also be elected.
cat any rate" he said, II am willing
to tell you what my policy is. Can you
say much for your PRESIDENT"
Mr.. Bryan left here tonight for North
Dakota, where he is booked to make
nine speeches tomorrow.

ROTTEN EGGS FOR CANDIDATES.
Republicans Objected Only When They We're
Thrown by Democrats.

Huron, South Dakota, Sept. 2S.--At
Mitchell Mr.. Bryan made the longest
speech of the day, speaking for more than
an hour The audience numbered many
thousand persons. The meeting was held
on vacant ground near the Corn Palace,
an immense structure of Indian corn. in
which the Corn Belt exposition was held.
Mr.. Bryan also had excellent audiences at
Woonsocket and Huron, speaking at the
former place thirty minutes and at the
latter almost one hour.
The people at Huron seemed disposed
to ask questions and Mr.. Bryan. an
nounced that he would reply to any
person who would give their names and
their politics. He responded to questions
about remedies for the trusts and then
someone asked about the ice trust To
this question Mr.. Bryan replied:
THE ice trust is a New York and not
national affair and New York's
people can take care of it, but the Gov
ernor of New York, instead of correct
ing the ice trust comes out West to make
speeches. But l want to so little farth-
er. Every director of the ice trust is
a Republican and yet you people do not
even attempt to destroy a Republican
trust"
Someone also asked ''Why did Teddy
get rotten-egge in CoIorado?"
Mr.. Bryan replied: ASK those who
did it. | might suggest to you that
when they threw rotten eggs at me in
Chicago no Republican found fault with
it, but my friends, am going to do bet
ter than the Republicans. | am going
to find fault with anyone who interferes
with any man who expresses his opinion
on any question in the United Staoes.

MARRY HER OR DIE.
Duel With Pistols. Neither Man Expected
to Live.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 2S-After a quarrel
which has extended over two weeks. two
young men Of prominent families, of East
Point, a suburb of Atlanta, met this
evening and fought with pistols. One OF
the men, Sheffield Harrington, was shot
in four places, and the other, Walter Hud-
son, was wounded once. Both are be-
lieved to be fatally wounded.
1t is asserted that both Walter Hudson
and another man fired at Harrington. As
result of the meeting George Hudson
is in Jail. The specific charge against
him, however. is not made public. Four
bullets struck Harrington, one entering
the thigh from the back. Harrington
tried time after time to fire a second shot,
but each time the hammer Of his revolver
failed to explode the cartridge. Hudson
it is alleged, was in love with Harring-
toms sister. and there were reports that
they were to be married These reports
were accepted as true for time, but
finally Hudson denied the truth of the
rumor. A few days ago the young lady
left for Waynesboro. Harrington, it is
said, stated at that time if Hudson did
not go there and marry his sister he
would kill him. Matters stood in this po-
sition IS far as reliable information is
obtained until today.

Tarboro. N. c., Sept. 2S.-The execution
of Chauncey Davis for burning the resi-
dence of Mrs. Lavinia Battle. took place
today in the Jail yard between one and
two o'clock. 1t was private, only few
persons being admitted. The scatfo!d
was enclosed with ducking. Early this
morning Davis took his breakfast and
dressed himself with as much composure
as if nothing were to happen. He talked
calmly and coolly about his execution, and
when questioned about his guilt or inno-
cence never failed to protest that he was
an innocent man.
At an early hour the crowd began to
gather around the iail. and while few
were admitted to the yard the execution
was witnessed by hundreds of people from
trees and house tops near by.
Between half past one and two Davis
was led from his cell to the gallows. His
step was active He appeared strong,
and without any assistance mounted the
steps of the scaffold. where he asked per-
mission to make a statement This was
granted. He spoke briefly, but no con-
fesson did he ever make. To the last
he said he was an innocent man,
While his legs we're being tied, and the
black cap placed over his head he never
moved, nor did he show the slightest sign
of fear. Within twenty three minutes
from the time the trap fell. he was
dead man.
Public sentiment as to Davis guilt is
yet divided. Some are outspoken in their
belief in his innocence, while others con-
tend that he was guilty.
