ANDERSON. Ind, Oct. I1.-Governor
Roosevelt began the second day of his

ten minute speeches at Marion, Fair

said: a.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 11.-There was
quite good deal of mlx-up here to-
day over nn attempt.to straighten out
the position OF the requIsltlon OF Gov
ernor Sayre, OF Texas. for the persons
OF William Rockefeller and other mem
bers OF the board OF directors OF the
Standard OIL Company. Several state
ments were given out variously alleg-
ing that Governor Roosevelt or Acting
Governor Woodruff had taken final nc-
ton In the matter. but tonight 1t Is
definitely ascertained that the only ac-
ton taken in the case was by Judge
Joyce, the governors pardon clerk. who
merely gave to Governor Sayre's coun-
sci, an opinion that unless his papers Of
requls!tlon could state that the persons
wanted had been in the state OF Texas
and had committed crime there, they
could not be taken from this state.
Judge Joyce gave his opinion to Mr..
Cullen Thomas. Of Governor sayre's
counsel two weeks ago. when that gem
tleman came here looking for the gov
crnor and It was given on the ground
that a decision OF Governor Flower,
made In 1894. in the same case. was now
the prevailing opinion.

STRIKERS WILL

Until Operators Make Further Con.

in Coal Circles: Z
CONVENTION CALLED TODAY.
Fine Italian Hand Of Mitchell Seen
in the Reputed Decision Of
Miners-700 to be Present.

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE con-
yentlon OF the anthracite miners now
on strike throughout the entire hard
coal field in Pennsylvania will convene
IN this city tomorrow morning for the
purpose Of considering the 10 per cent
net increase in wages proftered them by
nearly all the mine operators In the re-
gon. What the outcome Of the con-
yentlon will be is all q matter Of specu-
lation and the opinions expressed to-
night by labor leaders are widely d.
yergent. The delegates to the conven-
tIon who began arriving to-day have all
sorts OF Instructions from their local
unions on the proposition OF the oper-,
ators. 1t was learned that most OF
them now on the ground will vote to re-
tect the 10 per cent Increase until the
operators make further concessions.
Many OF the miners will not favor the
advance until the operators give a
guarantee that the increase will be
kept In force for fixed length Of time,
others want the union recognized be-
fore they will accept, the proposition,
while not few Insist upon concessions
in the other grievances. The belief is
general that in the absence Of any uni
form instruction among the delegates,
the chances Of a settlement by this con-
vention are rather slim. 1t is the i'm
preston Of several labor leaders that at
least a second convention will have to
be held before any definite action will
be taken. looking toward an early end
ing Of the contest.
A Gentle Hint.
President Mltchell's remarks a. yes
terday's mass meeting. at which he
told the mine workers that the 10 per
cent increase was not satisfactory and
that they ought to make concessions In
the other grievances, Is taken by many
persons as hint TO the miners to re-
ject the mine owners offer. Mr.. Nit
chell. however. denied this and said he
had no intention OF influencing the men
one way or another. He said he was
merely volcing the sentiment OF HIM
self, his colleagues and the many strik-
ers with whom he has come in contact
during the past week,
The convention as near the United
Mine Workers officials can figure, will
consist Of about 200 delegates. About
half OF this number are now here. most
OF them coming from the Schuylkill
Wiley and the Hazleton region.
". D. Ryan. secretary-treasurer Of
the United Niue Workers OF Illinois,
arrived here to-day. He said the min
crs OF his state have at least s40o. 1000 In
their treasury and added that II the
anthracite miners needed help that
fully s25o.o0o would be sent In few
hours. Mr.. Ryan said he was not here
on official business. He may, however,
consult with Mr.. Mitchell, on the ques-
tion of fnancial aid. although the na-
t!onal president says such assistance is
not needed at present.
