the mine workers will today issue a
call for a convention Of mine workers,
to be held in Scranton, and the suppo-
sition is that Thursday next will be
named as the time. Mr.. Mitchell,
however. declined to give publicity to
the matters discussed by himself and
other officials of the association at se-
cret conference yesterday at Hazleton.
Hasty action will not likely be reached
on the question by the convention, and
recesses will likely be taken pending
the conference of committees with the
operators. These conferences will be
requested with the purpose of obtain

the principal topic among the strikers
yesterday. The delegates from the

probably be unanimous for it. The
delegates who have been interviewed
on the subject think President Mitchell
will not stand in the way Of state

Ham. I. Target for Chunk Of Iee.

Chicago, Oct. 5. 5.-Senator NJ. A. Han
ma was the target for ten pound
chunk Of ice last night at the Thirty
first Ward Republican meeting, at
sixty-frst and Halstead streets. The
ice was dropped through an aperture
IN the tent directly over the speakers
stand. It did not miss Hanna's head
over two inches, and had it struck
him, would have knocked him down
and probably fractured his skull. The
police said it was probably the work Of
some mischieyous boy who had se-
cured the ice from a neighboring sa-
loon.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Propositions of

succession to this government. The
state department had no sooner dis
posed of one Of these propositions by
delivering response to the German
government, than it was confronted
by an even more important PROPOSE

ment, and within half an hour formal
~ seconded by the Russian gocern-
ment.

United States had instructed Minister.
Conger along the lines suggested by
Germany. These instructions look to-
wards securing the names Of the per-
sons deserving chastisement, also
whether the punishment accorded with
the gravity of the crimes committed,
and finally, in what manner the Unit
ed States and the other powers are to
be assured that satisfactory punish
ment is inflicted. aside from these
specific purposes Of the note, 1t is re-
garded as important chiefly as estab-
fishing the most satisfactory relations
between the governments at Washing.

The Franco Russian proposal takes
much broader scope and submits a
program under which the negotiations
for complete settlement can be car
ried forward. The French charge, NJ.

Secretary Hay shortly after noon yes
terday, and held brief conference con-
cerning it Half an hour later M. de
Wollant, the Russian charge, arrived
at the state department and handed
to Mr.. Hay note expressing Russian
approval Of the propositions just sub
mitted by France. Mr.. Hay gave no
formal answer to the two commune
cations. as they will go first to the
president at Canton.
The Franco Russ an proposition is
under four heads, namely, first, punish
ment of the guilty parties; second, In
terdiction of the shipment Of arms into
China; third, payment Of indemnity to
the powers, and fourth, sufficient guar
antees for the future. In addition, a
suggestion is made for the establish
ment of a permanent legation guard at
Peking; for the razing of the Taku
forts and for the maintenance of a
line Of communication between Pc
king and the sea.
The impression here. in advance Of
action on these propositions by our
government, is that they contain moth

subjects Of consideration in final set

We desire to call the attention of our
readers to our advertisement of Web
sters International Dictionary. The ad-
vertisement speaks for itself and some
who will read it are among the number
who have been duped by the offer of a
"Webster's Dictionary" and found when
they had earned their prize, that it was
really reprint of the dictionary of 1847
and not up-to-date. This reprint is
made by some Photographic process, SO
that whatever errors, broken type, ETC.,
there were in the old page are faithfully
reproduced. The modern edition of
Webster's Unabridged dictionary is pro-
tected by copyright, from any cheap i'm
itation. The international" is a thor
oughly revised edition of the Webster's
Unabridged. Better work little harder
and buy a copy of the genuine up-to-
date dictionary than to gain possession
of one the cheap antiquities.
The International Dictionary is now
published with a complete reference in

ton to the regular price of the book.

The local boss holds a conference with
the faithful ones, instruct them as to
who is wanted, and they carry out
their instructions at the primary cleo
ton.
Even if the primary election
scheme is enacted, it is a matter of
certainty that the bosses will still con-
troll nominations by means of private
! conferences and caucuses.
For many years. in Dane county,
at least, there has always been q eau
Gus of political hustlers before
the regular caucus for the pur-
pose of making up a slate
of delegates: and another caucus be-
fore the convention to make up
another slate Of delegates or nominees.
1.-The petty political hustler who has
nothing else to do, and no other means
of support than public office and polit-
ical hustling, will always be on hand
to tell the plain voter how to perform
his political duty.
"In fact, the proposed primary cleo
ton scheme will make it easier for the
professional hustler, if the people do
not wake up to more independence.
Some Hope in the Law.
''Yet, if the electors will do their
duty, and do it independently and in
diligently, the proposed law offers
great advantages over the practice eX-
listing before the present law, and over
the practice of instructing delegates,
and also some advantages over the law
now in force.
The filing Of nominating petitions
two months before the nominating
election gives the voter time to learn
something as to the fitness of the can
didate. Voting by the Australian bal
lot prevents the defeat of the less
trained by smart parliamentary tao
TICS SO frequently practiced in the
open caucus.
ut also insures a more honest count
and enables the voter to prepare his
own ballot secretly without being over
awed by some would-be boss in his
presence. The holding Of the nominal
ing election by all parties on the same
day may prevent the packing of eau
cuses by members of other parties and
by doing away with the delegate we
remove the evil of trading delegations
to extensively practiced in nominating
conventions today.
"A great deal more could be said
both for and against the proposed
scheme. 1t is my opinion, however,
that the primary election scheme is not
the paramount issue in Wisconsin at
the present time. What weighs on the
plain people most heavily is the I'M
equal distribution of the burdens Of
taxation
Nothing is more imperative than
a correction of the laws governing tax
alton, and no issue of less Importance
should be allowed to obscure this i'm
DOrtant reform"

Two Months Notice for Candidates
Same Day-No Trading.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 7.-Mr. LaFOl-
lette's primary election reform is be-
ing discussed by those interested in
politics. AS my readers know, his
idea is to abolish caucuses and con-
ventiOns; and to substitute a prelimi-
nary election, at which on one big
ticket australian BALLOT shall be the
names of all persons of all parties
nominated for all offices. At this pre-
liminary election all voters of all par
ties vote, and the men of the various
parties receiving the most votes be-
come the nominees of their various
parties.
Nels Holman of Deerfield, Dane
county, veteran member of the cOun-
ty board, Is very familiar with politi~
cal methods, and on being requested
to write his views, Mr.. Holman does
so as follows:
Would Overthrow Bosses.
"Mr. LaLOllette argues that pOliti-
cal machines and political bosses cor
rupt the administration of our govern
ment, and should be destroyed. He
offers the primary election scheme as
a sure and infallible means for their
OBSTRUCTION.
Before remedy is applied it is al
ways necessary to diagnose the evil.
We must first ascertain the exact ma
ture Of a political machine and a po-
litical boss and how they work.
"A political machine is simply po-
litical organization within one of the
dominant political parties, and po-
litical boss one who is recognized as
a leader in the organization. The or
ganiZation or machine has no formally
elected officers are simply recog-
niZed as such. They rank from the
chief of Il state down to the township
and ward boss.
"TheSe organizations must not be
COMPOUNDED with formally elected party
committees, who are supposed to be
concerned only with the election of
candidates after they are nominated,
although they are too often the
creatures of and subservient to the
strongest machine in the party. The
machine keeps no record of it's Organi-
cation except a mailing list of its
friends in each precinct. The bonds
that hold it together are the mutual
friendship and confidence of it's mem
bers and a unity of purpose which is
usually to overthrow the machine in
power and get possession of the pub
lie offices.
