Large Crowd Had Assembled to
Greet the Candidate.
Special TO the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, Oct. 21.-
Fully two thousand persons were in
the crowd which assembled at the train
this afternoon to greet Mr.. Bryan.
Many refused to believe the telegram
which stated he was not coming. His
car came, but at Buffalo last night he
was unable, on account of the crowd,
to- reach the train in time, and it pulled
out without him. Col. McGraw and
others accompanied the train with the
Bryan party on down to Huntington.
All along the way from Wheeling to
Parkersburg great crowds were disap-
pointed.
At Sistersville the train could not get
into the depot, and had to stop above
and wait until the crowd was scattered.
At every point there were tremendous
crowds, and it is safe to say that be-
tween wheeling and Huntington to-day
fifty thousand persons would have seen
Mr.. Bryan if he had come.

LONDON PAPERS PLEASED.

LONDON, October 22.-Allthe morn
Ing papers dilate upon the high import
ance Of the Anglo-German agreement.
The Daily Telegraph, which describes
it as ''the most remarkable success
scored by British diplomacy since the
Berlin treaty." says:
"The significant circumstances of its
publication clearly suggests that it was
initiated by Lord Salisbury at the
moment when an ill-considered call
was made for his retirement from the
foreign office"
Although without such ELUSIVE
praise of Lord Salisburys diplomacy,
most of the papers warmly approve
the agreement and recognize in it a
warning to other powers, especially
Russia.

BARKED UP THE WRONG TREE.

PARIS, october 21.-The Anglo-Ger-
man agreement to maintain the terri
tory and integrity of China and to
keep her ports open to the commerce of
the world, continues to monopolize pub
lie attention in France, the omission of
the name OF Russia-according to the
version OF the agreement supplied by
the Havas agency-being the chief sub
ject of comment. The Temps says:
1--WE can see nothing in the immed-
late sense of the agreement which does
! not merit appreciation, but the elimina-
ton Of Russias name is calculated to
hurt her feelings by showing dstrust,
even supposing the intentions of the
| two powers. to be purest.
1T is to be regretted that the word
| ing Of the agreement gives an appear
ance of hostility to an ally. The work
of peace is not furthered by throwing
bomb.
There are two important points in
the agreement. The first is that the
| second article destroys somewhat the
value of the protocols disinteredness
by reseving the contracting parties the
right to make eventual arrangements
according to the behaviour of a third
party. The second point is that, if this
specific accord indicates a lasting I'M
derstanding between Germany and
| Great Britain, it will be, thanks to the
sad Transvaal war, the realization of a
favorite plan of Lord Rosebery and Mr..
Chamberlain and at the same time, the
starting point of new era in interna-
tional relations"
After the foregoing and similar COM
ments had appeared in the French
press it became known that all the
papers had been put on a false scent
by an error in transmitting the text of
the agreement-the omission of the
name of Russia among the names OF
the powers TO whom the agreement is
to be communicated. All the COM
ments were written upon the theory
that the Havas agency text is correct.

GENERAL DISAPPOINTMENT,
(By Associated Press. }


HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Oct. 21.-The
private car Rambler, in which w. ].
Bryan, the Democratic candidate for
President, is making his tour of the
country, arrived here about o'clock to-
night But Mr.. Bryan was not pas
senger. 1t brought only the newspaper
correspondents who usually accompany
Mr.. Bryan. They had been separated
from him at Buffalo, and had not been
able to connect with him after leaving
that city. His failure to reach here
at the time expected was due to series
of unscheduled occurrences.
In order TO make connections, it was
necessary for the car to leave Buffalo at
IL O'Clock last night. Mr.. Bryan
meeting in that city kept him so late
that it was impossible for him to leave
with it, and he directed that it should
proceed without him. intending to fol-
low on a later train and believing that
he could overtake the car at Pittsburg.
this morning.
When the car with its load of CORES
pondents reached Pittsburg they dis
covered that Mr. Bryan had not arrived.
and that he could not reach that city in
time to allow the car to be attached to
the regular train on the Ohio River
railroad, which was the only train of
the day that would reach Huntington
in time to allow Mr.. Bryan to make a

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, October q.
The citizens of Huntington, as we'll
as the hundreds of people who had as
sembled here for the Bryan meeting
tomorrow, were disappointed tonight
by the non-arrival OF Mr.. Bryan. The
Presidential candidate was due to ar
rive here at about eight O'Clock over
the Ohio River road, but owing to mis-
connections he was compelled to come
over the Norfolk & Western from Co
lumbus An engine chartered for the
purpose will leave here at midnight,
and bring his private car from Ken
oya, arriving here at about two o'clock
in the morning.
The present arrangement is that Mr..
Bryan shall remain in his car until
morning, and take breakfast with
Judge Thomas H. Harvey and wife.
About four hundred eXcursionists
came in tonight from Mingo county.
Several hundred more came in over
other roads, and already tonight the
hotels are taxed to their capacity.
The largest crowd assembled here in
years is expected to greet Mr.. Bryan.
Hon. John t. McGraw, Hon. George
NJ. Mccoy, candidate for Attorney Cen
eral, Congressman David E. Johnston,
and other Democratic leaders are here

CHARLESTON, w. Va, October I'll
There is now little room for doubt that
the truthfulness of the charges made
that the Republican managers in this
State are conspiring to retain the pres
ent administration in power regardless
Of the means taken to accomplish that
end. In confirmation of these charges
is the refusal of Chairman Dawson,
of the Republican State Committee, to
join with the Democratic chairman in
an effort to obtain an honest election
and fair count, and to prosecute to
the full extent OF the law not only il
legal voters, but election of officers who
violate their oaths. Chairman Miller
offered to cooperate with him to this
end, but though his letter was dated
October 18th, and Mr.. Dawson has been
in the city several days since that
date, no reply has been received, and
his silence is growing significant. The
letter Of Chairman Miller is as follows:

l shall very cheerfully join with you
in a circular letter of this character to

closed a form of a reward signed by

meeting of the presidents of the Scran-

discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of taking ag-

the situation it was decided to let the
matter rest for another while. The fact
That the end of the strike is generally
believed to be at hand impelled the
meeting to refrain from making this
move which is generally conceded
would be attended with the possibility
Of disorder and which would have a
tendency to do more harm to the cause
than the operation of he washeries. The

HAZLETON, Pa, October 21.-When
President Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, was asked tonight by a rep
resentative of the Associated Press
what he had to say in regard to set
Element of the anthracite coal miners
strike, he said;
"As there appears to be some dispo-
sition on the part of the public TO
place the responsibility for the pro-
longation of this strike on the shouldr
ers of the mine workers, speaking for
them. | want to say that when the
Scranton convention accepted the ten
per cent advance in wages providing
the operators abolished the sliding
scale and guaranteed the payment OF
the advance until April LIST, the miners
had met the operators more than half
way. They had shown conciliatory
spirit and | know of no good reason
why the proposition should not have
been accepted by the operators.
"As a consequence, the responsible
ity for the continuation Of the strike
rests solely upon
The Failure of the Operators
to treat the proposition Of their en-
ployes CONSIDERABLY. The public should
understand that unsatisfactory as is
the proposition of the operators who
make the reduction in the price of pow
der a part of the advance of 10 per
cent, that even this proposition has not
been offered by very large number
of the coal producing companies in the
anthracite region, and until all COM
panies guarantee the payment of the
10 per cent advance above the rate OF
wages paid in September until April
list, according to the decision of the
Scranton convention, the miners are
powerless to act / want to repeat again,
that there can be no partial or section
al settlement of this strike.
"The large companies in the Lehigh
region that have refused to move at all
since the Scranton, % venUion was held
are Cox Bros, one OF the largest coal
producers in the Lehigh region, G. B.
Markle & Company, the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Company, the Lehlgh Coal
and Navigation Company, and large
number of smaller companies. There
is also considerable number of coal
companies in the Lackawanna and Wy
oming regions that have
Not Guaranteed the Payment
of the ten per cent advance until April
1st. The only district that has accept
ed the terms of the Scranton conven-
ton in full Is No. 9, better known as
the Schuylkill district.
Companies which produce about
sixty-five per cent of total production
of the anthracite coal fields have guar
anteed the payment of the ten per cent
advance, and have abolished the slid
ing scale"
When Mr. Mitchell was asked what
he would do if all the companies were
to post notices, he said:
when all the companies have posted
notices then l will have something to
say"
When it was suggested to him that
there might be break in the ranks of
the strikers if the contest was to con-
tinue much longer, he said that not one
man will go back to the mines until
they are officially notified to return.
