report. Secretary Hartlein. of the COM
mittee. read the resolutions drafted by
the committee, ard a motion was made
that they be adopted. after which they
were explained in the different languages
and considerable discussion was INDUCED
in. While the motion was pending Presi-
dent Mitchell addressed the convention
and took occasion 10 deny positively the
statements made by some of the metro
politan papers, charging that political
influences were dominating the convention
and that the representatives of any po-
litical party had been in conference with
him.
When the question was put the reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted by a
rising vote and amid ringing cheers.
"A communication from the Interna-
tional Correspondence Schools. of Scran-
ton, was read inviting delegates TO visit
that institution, and at Ais o'clock the
convention adjourned sine die"
Many of the delegates have already left
for their homes. Whatever may be the
result in the other districts of the an
thracite belt, no miners Will resume work
in the Lackawanna region until an ac-
ceptance of the operators is received.
1t was noticed that the resolutions adopt
ed made no mention OF the powder ques-
ticn, and do not accept the proposition of
the operators to reduce the price of the
explosive from s2.75 to $50 a key. Ma
tional Organizer Dilcher. in explaining this
this evening. said that the powder matter
is one OF the questions that the miners
desire 10 have arbitrated
The committee today decided to omit it
from their resolutions, and TO bring 1t up

plicating matters. 1t was deemed best to

DEMOCRATIC HOPES RISING.
Croker Confident 1hat pew York Is
SRfe forfRrYnsn.

NEW YORK. Oct 13.-It was learned On
excellent authority tonight that Mr.. Gro
ker expects confidently that he will be
able to make good the promise he made
two weeks ago to Chairman James d.
Richardson, OF the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee that the State
of New York south of the Bronx would
give 100000 majority for Bryan. The Ma
tional Committee is figuring on 10000.
having scaled Mr. Croker's estimate 10
per cent. They have also been informed
and believe that the Republicans will not
come to the city line with more than from
$1,000 TO 10000 plurality.
Chairman Richardson is in Chicago now,
comforting with Chairman Jones or the
National Committee, and he is going to
tell this to Mr.. Jones as fact that the
Democracy is going to carry the Empire
State on November by plurality OF
10000 to $4,000 votes. MIR. Croker has re-
fused to make any public estimate Of the
vote in this city. The facts in regard to
the expectations of the Democratic cam
paigners as they are given here were
learned tonight from man who is work
ing with them for the overthrow OF the
present Administration.
Mr.. Croker depends for this plurality
upon what he calls the silent vote" He
said last night at the Democratic club:
THE silent vote in this campaign is
going to astonish people. 1t will be cast
for Bryan, and it will elect him."
Mayor Taggart, of indianapolis, made
this statement to some of his friends here
today: II am going back to Indiana to-
night, my friends. We are going to carry
Indiana. We are going to carry the

MILLIONS FOR STEEL RAILS,
Orders for 100000 Tons ut S2G
Ton.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.-Contracts
for 100000 tons OF steel rails at .26 a
ton. total of s6.24O,OOO, were awarded
here yesterday.
The 4O.000-ton contract of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad is included in
the amount. The Pennsylvania takes
10000 tons and the Chesapeake and
Ohio and the Norfolk and Western take
%. 600 tons each.
The companies among which the con-
tracts are divided are the Lackawanna
Steel Company. of Scranton; the F d raj
Steel Company, of Chicago; the Carne gle
Company, the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany. the National Steel Company, and
the Cambria Steel Company, of Johns
town.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has been
seeking 20 secure its rails at So per ton
The railroad decided finally to accept the
S26 rate and to make up the difference on
the freight rates. The delay in Pacing
the contracts by the Pennsylvania has
in measure, been due to the failure of
the managers of the company's Western
lines to report the quantity of rails need
ed by them.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has placed
its contracts at the pool price of SIC per
ton as the maximum price. subject to any
decline from that price that may take
place by the time of actual delivery of
the rails. The officials of the company.
like those of other railroads. deem the
price CT SIG per ton too high when com
pared with the price OF steel b!llzts
There is and has been, however. no
disposition upon their part to bear the
price of steel rails. taking the broad view
that if the price fixed can be maintained
and that of steel billets. which the steel
men contend are too low. brought carer
in proportion. the better they will be
able to maintain rates.
