BRYAN IN EGYPT"


st. Louis, Oct. 9.-That particular
portion of Illinois known as Egypt"
was pretty thoroughly canvassed by
W. ]. Bryan yesterday. The principal
cities of II of the southern counties
of the state and three OF the congress
sional districts were visited and large
audiences addressed at the various
stopping places. Fourteen addresses
were made from seven o'clock in the
morning, when the first speech at
Salem, was delivered, until the train
bearing the nominee and his party
pulled out Of Alton at nearly mid
night. The addresses have ranged
from ten minutes to an hour in length
and six hours would be conservative
estimate of the amount of time con-
sumed by Mr.. Bryan in actual talk.
Southern Illinois was intensely en-
thusiastic. At every meeting the can
didate was greeted with hearty dem
onstrations of affection and his re-
marks were applauded and cheered
everywhere. At one place there was
a disposition on the part of few
boys to cheer his opponent, but there
were no attempts to interfere with
his remarks being heard.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.


Washington, Oct. 9.-Henry B. Com
bers, Of New York, secretary of the
Association of Master Steam Filters,
was before the industrial commission
yesterday explaining the plans and
motives of his association. He said
it included the master steam filters
in about 20 cities and was organized
to protect its members against the
aggression of the labor unions. Mr..
GOmbers said he considered the labor
unions the most thorough trust in ex-
istence. In support of this view he
said the steam filters organization in
New York limited its membership to
500, whereas it could easily have 1900
men. In winter, he said, it was fire.
quently difficult for the master steam
filters to get men enough to do the
work they had on hand. Mr.. Gombers
said, among other things, that his as
ISOLATION had an agreement with the
manufacturers of steam filters sup
plies in virtue of which the manu-
facturers would not sell supplies to
any one not a master steam filter.
He said this did not prevent master
steam filters outside his association
from buying supplies. He added, how
ever, that he did not consider his as
ISOLATION a trust in any fair construc-
ton of the term.

turned yesterday morning from a
perilous trip to the Hudson bay coun-
try, in which, with nine white men
and eight Indians, he sailed 600 miles
up the east shore of the great inland
sea. Mr.. Knappen was assured by
Eskimos whom he met that "sky
boat" had come into the region on the
extreme northeast shore of the bay
two years before, that it came to the
ground and that the savages who in
habit that country had killed the
white men in it. This, he explains,

ROOSEVELT IN ILLINOIS.


East st. Louis, ILL.,, Oct. 9.-Gov.
Roosevelt last night concluded hiscam-
paign tour of Illinois, speaking in tins
city to the largest audience assembled
here since the McKinley-Bryan cam
paign Of four years ago. Various re-
publican organizations of this city and
St. Louis Wed with each other in do
ing honor to the vice presidential can
didate. Gov. Roosevelt betrayed no
token of WEAKNESS, notwithstanding
he had made speeches at many towns
in the state en- route, the mos! nota-
Bile of which was at Springfield. There
the governor refrained from discuss
ing finance, trusts and such topics,
deyoting himself exclusively to the
life and achievements Of Abraham
Lincoln.
From Springfield to Jacksonville
Mrs. Yates, wife Of the candidate for
governor of Illinois, enlivened the
situation by riding in the engine cab,
and on arriving at her home city blew
the whistle which signaled the pres
ence of the Roosevelt special. The
crowd at this place was the largest
that had greeted Gov, Roosevelt, ow-
ing undoubtedly to the fact that
Judge Yates, who lives in Jackson
vile, was on the train. Between
double files of mounted Yates rough
riders Gov. Roosevelt and Judge
Yates, standing side by side in their
carriages and receiving the plaudits
of the multitude, were driven to a
large tent in the public square. There
the procession halted and the crowd
cheered while Judge Yates introduced
Gov. Roosevelt, who spoke briefly and
hurriedly returned TO his train.

CONVENTION CALLED.
The Striking Miners to Meet and
Consider the Operators Offer
BELIEF that STRIKE WILL SOON End


Philadelphia, Oct. o.-President
Mitchell issued his call yesterday for
the much-talked of miners convention
to consider the operators offer OF
ten per cent. increase in wages. The
convention will be held at Scranton
and will open on Friday night. Rep
resentation in the convention will be
on the basis of one delegate with one
vote for each 100 persons on strike.
1t is the general expectation that the
decision of the convention will be to
accept the increase and return to
work.
Quietness prevailed throughout the
anthracite regions yesterday, the call
for the convention being generally &C.
cepted as signal for cessation OF
hostlities all around. There were
many expressions of satisfaction by
miners and operators and by mer-
chants and others in the mining sec
ton over the prospect of an early set
Element of the troubles.
Yesterday completed the third week
since the strike officially went into
effect. The miners will have parades
and mass meetings at Shamokin to-
day and at Scranton on Wednesday.
President Mitchell will be in attend
ance and is expected to speak at both
places.
Belief That Advsnc. WIN He Accepted.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 9.-The issuing
of the call yesterday by President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
of America, for joint convention of
the anthracite miners, to be held at
Scranton beginning next Friday, for
the purpose OF deciding whether to
accept or to reject the ten per cent.
net increase in wages offered by the
operators, Is long stride in the d.
rection Of bringing the great coal
miners strike to a close. 1t is be-
lieved the convention will not be
long one and it is expected that the
strikers will almost unanimously ac-
cept the advance in wages. There is,
however, possibility that by the
introduction of proposition to aboI-
ish the sliding scale and another to
have the operators agree to yearly
wage contract the termination of the
strike might be somewhat delayed.
None of the operators who could be
seen here yesterday would have any
thing to say in regard to the conven-
ton call

Excitement In Cotton,

New York, Oct. "a frost scare
took possession of the cotton market
yesterday morning and prices adj
yanced II to 2s points, including an
advance of to 10 points which oc-
Cured on the opening call. The
shorts showed a good deal of uneasi-
ness, which was increased by the fact
that English cables reported an adj
vance of to 1-64 in futures. This,
however, was attributed not SO much
to frost fears as to more promising
indications respecting demand from
spinners. Still another stimulating
factor was current belief that
Wednesday would turn up bullish
monthly crop report. In the after
noon shorts were the principal support
of the market, which closed steady at
net advance Of 10 to Is points.

Troub'a IN the building Trades.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 9.-From LOO
to 1900 trade unionists are idle, works
stopped on over so residence build
ings and six large brick business
blocks under process of construction
and threatened paralysis of nearly
the entire building industry in the
city, is the result thus far of the fight
between the trades council and build
ers' exchange of Seattle, a fight that
has been brewing for several weeks.
The main point in the controversy is
the demand on the part of the trades
unionists that contractors of the
builders exchange sign an agreement
to pay certain scale of wages for one
year.

Washington, Oct. 9.-In view Of
numerous inquiries on the subject,
the navy department has authorized
the statement that up to date there
has been no distribution of bounty
money to the officers and crew Of the
American squadron which destroyed
the Spanish feet off Santiago. The
matter has been pending in the court
of claims, and while bounty money has
been allowed it has not been deter
mined as to what the amount or the
individual allowances shall be, or
whether the allowances shall be paid
by the court of claims or the navy
department. Moreover, even after
these questions have been determined,
it will be necessary to secure an APP
preparation by congress to enable the
payments to be made.
