Claimed as Doubtful by the
New York Herald

New York, Get. 16. - The conf
dcnce of the Republican national COM
mittee in the election IF the Mckin-
ley ticket as expressed at headquar-
ters today is as follows:
There is going to be regular
landslide 1t is no longer question
as to the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt. All speculation now is
based on the magnitude of the victory.
Even the most conservative members
Of the committee are lsoking for a
tidal wave, which will not only con-
tinue the political administration, but
both branches of Congress.
The members are especially pleas
ed with the large-in fact, unprcce-
dented--rcgstration in New York
and elsewhere.
The New York Herald has made a
careful canvass of Greater New York
and says it is doubtful if Bryan car
ries it. The Herald predicts 100000
for Mckinley in this state.

10 PER CENT. GUARANTEED
Until April Next, and Several
Other Concessions

New York, Oct 16.-A special to
the Herald from Shamokn, Pa, says
one Of the labor leaders says:
"The terms, believe, will be ac.
cepted by operators. Miners Will not
90 to work until President Mitchell
declares the ST. ike of officially. Big
demonstrations will be held through
out the regions on the day previous to
work being resumed. ! think the
collieries will be working before next
Saturday."
The Herald also states that it learns
on the highest authority that the
railroad coal companies which control
most of the mines in the anthracite
region, would in few days agree tC
guarantee that the 10 per cent. in
crease in the miners wages should be
kept in effect until April next.
The independent operators in all
probability will follow any action OF
the companies.
This concession of the chief demand
made by the strikers in their conven-
ton at Scranton should, this officer
thought, end the struggle.

thousand strikers marched on the ten

Old Lavender.

Old Lavender.
Mr. Edward Harrigan, the famous
actor, is the attraction at the Opera
House on Thursday night. Mr.. Harri-
gan will present on this occasion his
truly wonderful creation of the still
more wonderful character, "Old Law
ender." Neither the actor nor the play
is stranger to theatre-goers; the for
mer, like old wine, improves with age,
and, as for "Old Lavender" it will
never wear out. This grotesque yet
pathetic character appeals to the hearts
of all, and anyone who has never seen
Mr.. Harrigan's wonderful portrayal of
it, will have remembrance of the poor,
honest, humorous old vagabond, who
has been ruined by good fellowship,
and all are glad to see him restored to
prosperity once more. Mr.. Harrigan is
supported by a particularly strong
company. The scenic effects and
mounting of the play in general, are
particularly elaborate Mr.. Harrigan' S
tour this season has been remarkably
successful since his opening. months
ago, the Standing room only" sign
having been displayed on numerous oc-
casions.

A Romance OF loon HOLLOW.
Patrons of the Grand were given
their first opportunity last night of
witnessing production of A Romance
of Coon Hollow at popular prices. 1t
was last presented at the Opera House,
but the play and company are equal if
not better this season than when last
seen here. 1t is drama with South
ern flavor and the scenes and charac-
tiers are typical of the locality in which
the plot is developed. The special fea-
lures were heartily applauded at the
Grand last night The play will be re-
peated tonight and tomorrow matt
nee and night, and will doubtless be
greeted by the large audiences it de-
serves.

Devils Auction.

A large audience saw Devils Auc-
ton at the Opera House last night, and
thoroughly appreciated the perform
ance, although the ballets did not come
in for that measure of applause which
was accorded dances of that character

never been presented in more attrac-
tive form. The popular features are
retained and new ones added, and the
scenic equipment is gorgeous. The
company is large and capable. Devils
Auction" is so unlike anything else
presented on the local stage that it will
continue to be regarded as novelty
in spite of its age.

Refined Vaudeville.
Manager Feinler offers an attraction
out of the ordinary for the first half
of next week at the Opera House.
The Grand has hitherto been the home
of vaudeville, but patrons of the lower
house are to be offered the most re-
fined show of the kind on the road.
The realms of magic and of vaudeville
are drawn upon and utilized in con-
densed and compressed form to add
dignity and unique favor to the strong
bill of fashionable vaudeville they will
offer next week Nine. Hermann,
widow of Hermann the Great, will pre-
sent her original conception of illu-
sion in "a Night in Japan" This is
one of the most beautiful magical per-
formances before the public. She en-
hances her wonderful feats, the best
of the Hermann repertoire, with her
own personal grace and charm, and
gives new illusions to beautiful see
mic setting. Nine. Herrmann's gowns
will be a revelation to the ladies. They
are described as magnificent, one cos
tune which she wore for the first time
in Washington last week, costing ST.
800. The rest of the bill includes the
Bassett- Marshall Company, introducing
the Street Urchins Quartette" in song,
dance and cake walk, and others.

Serio-Comic Performances
That Set Two

| Special Correspondence of the HERALD.

| Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
LA MESA. N. NJ. Jan. New
| Years Day was one of excitement in
this ordinarily quiet place. Fist fights
and pocket knives were flying in the
air, and about 3 o'clock o. 10. two art
lets OF the "Compos Circus" gave
little comedy in the program.
Jesus Orosco, one OF the artists,
strong and quick man, jumped on a
fellow artist and dealt him two blows.
Infuriated, Orosco thought of his
''cuchillo," and as he was about to
extract it from under his shirt it went
through his pants leg to the ground
and the curtain was rung down. He
says: THAT was the only thing that
saved Orosco's life''
After this comedy Orosco mounted
his horse. took out his rope, made a
lash, and proceeded to round up any
body he could, but was after the circus
manager particularly. Tiring of rid
ing up and down, he jumped off his
horse and fired brick at the door of
the abode of the outfit of air pc form
ers.
OroscO again mounted his horse, met
Abel Nevarez and proceeded to teach
him some new ''under jaw blows, but
nothing serious happened. Then he
rode to San Miguel.
Manager Campos made a complaint
before Judge Heron and an order of
arrest was issued. Constable Juan
Nevarez deputized Isidoro Armijo, in
the lame of the territory of New
Mexico to arrest Orosco. Armijo went
to San Miguel, read the order to Oros-
CO and Orosco surrendered. He soon
began to make threats and bluffs and
Armijo pulled his artillery and keep
him at a respectable distance. After
| sulking for few minutes he started to
| navigate and was brought to La Mesa
| before dark.
