DEMOCRATIC TURMOIL
MT. Ellinwood's Unsatisfactory Plan
 of Compromise.

Everett F. EllinWood, chairman of the Smith central committee, arrived in town yesterday with elaborate plans and specifications for effecting a com promise. He first exhibited them to the Smith fragment and they were at once destroyed and MT Ellinwood was spoken of as a traitor, anxious to throw down his friends. MT. Ellinwoods $ plans involved the withdrawal of both Smith and Wilson and the substitution for them both of Reese M. Ling.
 Beside the general objection to the plans of compromise there was a spe- cific objection to Mr. Ling on account of his tendency to tumble the cOnstitu- tiOn of the United States and the de- claration of independence together. It was feared that both these sacred docu- ments would suffer more severely at Mir. Ling's hands than at the hands of the republican party.
 The Young Mems Democratic club contributed somewhat to the gayety of county politics. They called a meeting of the county candidates and said that it had been reported that the assess ments to be paid by the county candi- dates were to be used by the central committee for the edilication of Hon. Mark A. smith. They commanded the candidates, under pain of the clubs disple1sure, to pay nothing until this matter was settled. The candidates breathed d prayer in concert that 1t might never be settled.
 Later in the day the committee sent for them. Then they were summoned again by the club, so they were kept all day trotting back and forth between these hostile democratic organizations Last night the committee furnished assurance that not a cent of the con trtbution would be directly applied to the benefit of MT Smith. What ad- vantage might filter through to him by the seepaSe process would, of course, be his. That arrangement was held to be satisfactory but the Young Mems Democratic club is going to try to pre- vent waste by seepage or divert it to Colonel Wilson's ditch

NO BREAK IN THE RANKS.

HaZletOn, Pa, Oct. 1.-AlthouSh the labor leaders positively said they did net fear a break in the ranks of the anthracite coal strikers, they were, nevertheless. pleased ito learn that the ten per cent advance granted by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company in the Scnuylkill valley Was totally ignored by the striking mine workers today. It was predicted thaJ many of the strikers would re- turn to work under a belief that d ten per cent increase would be the limit of the operators concessions, and the unanimity of the men in deciding to stand out for further advance caused many remarks of surprise.
 The strike situation in the Lchgh valley showed a change in favor of the men. Several hundred men quit work at the Calvin Pardce mines at La'tti- mer as a result of persuasinn on the part of 400 marching strikers, and the Oneida and Cranberry Coal company lost additional men. No collieries were closed down today.

THE KALEs PROPERTY
Lately Sold to J. ". Ambrose For
 $12,OOO.

J. w. Ambrose has purchased of D
 D. Mallory, the great Baltimore oyster packer, the Kales property on the northwest corner of First avenue and Monroe streets. It consists of twelve lots and the purchase price was in the neighborhOod of $12,000. Fifteen years ago it was the most pretentiOus resi- dence in the city. and is yet in the heart of the nearest residence district. MT. Ambrose is going to enclose it with a high board fence and make a corral of it. About eighteen years ago NJ. w. kales sold the property to the Ari- zona Improvement company for s16 OO0. The Improvement company did not care for the property, but was engaged in buying up shares of canal stock
 MT. Kales attached three shares to this property and refused to separate them. Canal shares were then worth about $l GOO each and Mir Kales' sale was regarded as d very successful thing. In a few years. though. these shares rose to S4.O0O and 5000 each. The company divorced the shares from the property, which afterwards passed into the hands of E. H. HiIler as trus- tee. It became involved in some way in the affairs of the Hartford Banking company. with which Mir. Mallory was also involved. In an adjustment the property passed into the possession of Mir. Mallory. The consideration was $l6O00. Mir Mallory's experience in Phoenix investments was not of a char acter to encourage him to incur any unnecessary expense In the improve ment or maintenance of his property From a luxurious garden. filled with the choicest shrubbery it lapsed into a desert spot and became an eyesore. There was one expense, though, which MT. Mallory could not avoid. That was the tax, amounting to about $500 year.

UNION IN THE WAY
And a Possible Hope That the Opera tors May Be Driven to Offer Still More Advantageous Terms-At a Mine Workers M eeting to Be Held Today Something May Happen.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-The coal operators of the Wyoming, Lacka- wanna and Lehigh Valley regions held an important meeting in this city this afternoon and decided to offer the miners an increase of ten per cent in wages and also to reduce the cost of powder to miners from $2.15 to $1.50 per keg. w. A. Lathrop. general superin- tendent of the Lehigh Valley company. was present, and all of the railroad and individual companies were repres5 5ntei. The whole situation was thoroughly discussed. nearly all those pI esent talk ing part therein. The powder question was the chief subject of debate and next came the recognition of the union. So far as can be learned none of the op- orators were in favor of recognizing the union in any way.
 This evening W. A. Lathrop, chair man of the meeting gave out the fol- lowing:
 ''Lehigh Valley Coal Co.,, Wilkesbarre Notice. This company makes the fol- lowing announcement to it's employees. IL will adjust its rate of wages so as to pay it's mine employees on and after October l, a net increase of ten per cent on the wages heretofore received, and will take up with its employees any grievances which they may have.
 ''W. A. LATiIROP."
 The strikers say they will not accept the offer.

NOTICES POSTED.

Haz!eton, Pa, Oct. 1.-Notices of in crease in wages and reduction in the price of powder. decided upon by the operators at Wilkesbarre today. were posted at all of the collieries in the Le- high region. MT. Mitchell, when shown q copy of the notice, declined to say anything at this time, but intimated that he might outline his position at the Wikesbarre meeting tomorrow. He added. however. that there would be no resumption of work until a convention of anthracite miners had been called and the proposition considered.

Berlin, Oct. 1.-The Berliner Post de- nies that the French, Russian and Am erican officers have refused to obey Count von Waldersee until hostilities are resumed. The foreign office is un- able to confirm the reports of the deg radiation of Prince Yuan, but admission is made that there has been an inn provement in the disposition of China toward foreigners. This charge, the Berliner Post attributes to Count VOn Waldersees arrival.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung, and the core spOndent of the Lokal Anzeiger, con firms the issuance of the imperial order degrading Fringe Tuan. but the Lokal Anzeiger adds that the edicts are re- Sarded as a sham by foreign officials in Shanghai
 The statement published in Paris that France, Russia, and Germany have ar rived at q complete understanding in regard to the retention of troops at Pekin and that Germany withdraws her plan for the punishment of the instiga- tors of outrage before peace negotia- tlCns begin, is denied officially.

 The Vfceroys mentioned are the vice roys of Nankin and Wu Chang. and are among the most enlightened and pa- clhc men in China. The appointment of Jung Lu is liable to prove unsatfs- factory to the powers. as he has made himself nearly as offensive as Yuan and is regarded as mainly responsible for the persistent attacks on the lega- ttons at Pekin.
 The war department received a cable gram from Chaffee announcing the receipt of instructions to withdraw the bulk of the American forces from China and saying: "The Ninth infantry. the third squadron of the Sixth cavalry and light battery will constitute q. legation guard.''

AMERICAN BANKERS.
Twenty-Sixth Annual Convention al
 Richmond Today.

Richmond. Va. Oct. 1.-Every arriv- ing train today brought its quota Of visitors to the ewenty-siXth annual convention of the American Bankers association, which meets at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Hotel Jef- ferson. At the convention headquarters established by Secretary James R. Branch there was a busy scene today. The secretary and his assistants were kept busy answering the inquiries of the bankers and other visitors from abroad, who had to wait and take their turn at registering and receiving their credentials.
 The registers show that the Pacific coast and far west will be unusually well represented. considering the fact that the convention is held so far east. TomorrOw's exercises will be opened by President Walker Hill of St. Louis, and addresses of welcome will be deiv- cred by Governor Tyler Mayor Taylor and Virginius Newton. president of the Richmond Clearing House association. The annual address of President Hill and the reports of other officers and of various committees will occupy the re- mainder of the day.

IT IS NOT WAGES.

Philadelphia. Oct. 1.-Reports from Scr2nton, Wilkeisbarre, ShamOkin and Shenandoah indicate that throughout the strike region miners are disregard ing the notices posted by the operators offering ten per cent advance in wages and indications are that the men will not return to work Cill ad- Vised to do so by the officers of their union.
 Official reports from General Super lntendent Luther to President Harris this morning indicate that despite the offer of an advance of ten per cent. only seven of the leading cDmpany's thirty-nfne collieries started this morn ing, five less than last Saturday.
