SEEKING AGREEMENT.
United Mine Workers Planning fol-
Next Year,

Des Moines, Oct. 10.-President
Reese of the Iowa division of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America was in
the city today enroute to his home
from Boone county field where he has
been on business connected with the
union.
1t is the purpose Of his visit at this
time to ascertain how the local opera
tors feel toward the continuation of
the present agreement between the
union and the State Coal Operators
association for another year. 1t is
understood that the agreement pro-
viding for uniform scale thruout the
state has been success and that
there will be little or no opposition
to a continuance If satisfactory prices
for mining, day men, etc., can be
agreed upon. The season is the first
one in the history of the business in
the state during which there has been
Go serious trouble between miners and
operators. The miners and opera
tors have lived up to their agreements
almost to a man and the result has
been a prosperous season for both.
The general opinion seems to be there
will be no demands for radical in
creases and that now that the success
of the undertaking has been estab-
lished, little or no dificulty will be ex-
perienced in securing an extension for
another year.
The present agreement will expire
April 1, but it is likely that the meet
ing of the delegates from the miners
and operators association will be held
in Ottumwa early in the winter months
to take up the matter of an agreement
for the next year. Excursions will be
run to Ottumwa from every mining
camp in the district and big one day
meeting is anticipated.

Anderson, Ind, Oct. 11.-Governor
Roosevelt began the second day of
his campaign in Indiana by making a
ten minute speech at Marion, Fair
mount and Alexandria, after which
the duration of stops was increased to
twenty minutes. In all the towns
large delegations from the country
were present, Marion giving a note
worthy parade.
In speaking at Alexandria Govern.
or Roosevelt said:
I'm informed that in speech here
Bryan admitted that he stood on the
plank of the Kansas City platform
which demands that all products
made by large corporations shall be
put up on the free list.
Democrats lnsincerity.
ITO that doctrine the republican
party is unalterably opposed. Bry.
ans party, which promises so much
for the regulation of those large cor.
poratlonS, showed their utter lnSln'
cerity when brought to test. The
proposed amendment to the constitu-
tion giving congress the power to reg.
ulate and control all trusts and mo-
nopolies, was opposed by every demo
crat but four in the house of repre-.
sentatives. 1t received the vote OF
every republican but two.
.The only policy Bryan can offer is
the policy that would destroy the en-,
tire industry by which you, in Alexan
dria earn, your bread. The policy we
advocate and are prepared to support
involves no destruction of any indus
try but the protection of American la
Dor against the competition of it's for
eign rivals"

Hong Kong, Oct. lit is said that
the authorities have received informa-
tion that a general rising in the south
ern provinces has been planned for the
month of November. Ten thousand
more troops from India have been re-
Questioned for Hong Kong. The six
teenth Bengal Lancers and the Hong
Kong regiment have been recalled
from the north to Hong Kong. The
present indications are that there will
be Boxer rising similar to that which
whereabouts of the rebels in the Hin
terland is not known, but is believed
to be ten miles north of the British
borders. A detachment of 1000 Chin
ese troops took up position at San
Chung yesterday and 1000 more ar
rived there today.
Grave Situation in Southern China.
London, Oct. 1.-THE Hong Kong
dispatches this morning all refer to
the gravity of the situation in southern
China, but they gave no further de-
tails than have already been forwrd-
ed in dispatches to the Associated
Press. In some quarters it is urged
that it would be better to employ Brit
ism than Indian troops in China.
The Standard, commenting editorial
lly upon the attitude of the United
States, says: Every dissent, even on
minor points, from the suggestions Of
i the powers is unfortunate, as it leads
to fresh correspondence and to further
delay. We can only hope that when
Lord Salisbury is free to turn his at
tention to China he will find some
middle course that will secure the sup
! port of all the powers"
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Morning Post, wiring Tuesday, says:
| sThe taotai of Shanghai and the vice
troy of Nanhing have protested against
a demonstration by foreign troops .
Shanghai specials say that the real
reason for the suspension of Yu Hsien,
governor of the province of Shan ST,
was the discovery that his supposed
army of $4,000 numbered only 100000.

IOWA CENTRAL CHANGES.
Rumor that it Will Create New DivI-
Observation-Disclosures at Waterloo.

neutrality-suspicious. dI WATERLOO
Waterloo, Oct. 10,-There is what
appears to be well founded report
that the Illinois Central Railway COM
pany has decided to create a new di-
vision to extend from Freeport to
Waterloo. 1t is understood in railway
circles that this move has been con-
templated for some time, and it is now
about to materialize. In this connec-
tion it is also stated that Dubuque is
to be the headquarters of the new di-
vision, its location, which is about mid
way between Freepprt and Waterloo,
making it desirablel for this purpose.
Superintendent Hartman. said, when
asked concerning the new move, that
he did not know anything about it,
and that what the {bpnrter told him
was the first he, ha6sf sfbeaid concerning
it. Nevertheless, as stAted, there is
good reason to believe that there is
| something in it,

early hour, he had good audience.
Talked on Imperialism.

.lT
He talked largely on imperialism"
at Hstings, saying the Filipinos should
have their own flag and not our flag,
and we should protect them in posses
sion of their flag.
The second speech was made at
Nashville. Mr.. Bryan had only five
minutes here and he contented him
self with suggesting series of ques-
tions to the republicans.
AT Charlotte Bryan ran hurriedly
over the issue Of the campaign during
the twenty minute stop. He again de-
Tended his declaration that the presi-
dent of the United States is only a
hired man, and said that when any
man in the republic reached the con-
clusion that he had the right to rule,
he was very sure to be found wrong
himself.
Trusts Not Omitted.
He also discussed the subjects of
trusts and increase in the army. At
Bellevue Bryan made but brief
speech, and at Battle Creek he talked
for half hour.

Ex-President Says Bryan

HARRISON'S STATEMENT.
Election Of Leader Of Free Silver
Movement Would Be Calamity
Harrison Will Make No Speeches
This Campaign.

New York, Oct. 11.-General Ben
jamin Harrison, former president of
the United States, is emphatically for
the reelection of President Mckinley.
He silenced all statements to the con-
trary by making his views known
last night thru the medium of an in
terview.
'Is it true, general, that you have
consented to make some speeches in
the campaign" he was asked.
Campaigning Days Over.
mo that statement has not been
authorized by me-" was his answer.
Il have said to everyone who has spo-
ken or written to me on the subject
that could not do any more cam
paign work. began to make repub-
lican speeches the year I began to
vote, and have had laborious, if un-
important, part in every campaign,
state and national, since until 1898.
AS to Porto Rico.
II have heard that my silence was
imputed by some to that cause. Now
the only public utterance have made
in criticism of the policies of the par
ty was contained in the interview,
consisting of one rather short sen.
tence, that 1 gave to the newspapers
while the Porto Rico bill was pend
ing;
"It was, in substance, that l re-
garded tne bill as grave departure
from right principles. still think
SO. I do not believe that the legisla-
tive power of congress in the terri
tories is absolute, and l do believe
that the revenue clause relating to
duties and imposts applies to Porto
Rico.
Is Legal Question.
These views, l know, are not held
by many able lawyers. It is a legal
question--one that the ponrical de
partments of the government cannot
fully adjudge. The final and control
ling word upon this question is with
the supreme court of the United
States. Cases involving the question
are, | understand, pending, and de-
clsion in which we all must acquiesce
cannot be much deferred.
Il think, therefore, that voters
ought to vote with view to the right
decision of those questions that are
directly and finally in the control of
the president and congress.
Firm Against Bryan.
"The general reasons gave in my
Carnegie Hall speech in 1896 why Mr..
Bryan should not be elected still hold
good with me. His election would, l
think, throw governmental and bust
ness affairs into confusion.
"We should not aid the election of
a president who would, admittedly, if
he could, destroy the gold standard
and other things that we value even
more, upon the deceptive suggestion
that he has been bound and that the
republican party will, after defeat,
still have strength enough to save
the temple.
1T will be much better not to allow
the man with destructive tendencies
SO much as to lean against the pill
lars"

Alleged Horse Thief Captured In llH-
nois.
Wapello, Oct. 10.-It looks as9lif
there might be stop put to the steal
ing of horses and mules hereabouts.
Some time Saturday evening two
mules belonging to j. B. Jamison dis
appeared. Sheriff Saunders was no
titled about noon on Sunday, and, af-
ter getting what pointers he could,
started out in pursuit. Before he
went to bed last night he had brought
the mules back from Illinois, some
thirty-five miles, and had Roland Bo-
den in Jail charged with the theft.
The sheriff and the officers of the
Horse Thief Detective Association
have been working for some time to
get information about the horse
thievery going on here, and the prompt
manner in which this matter has
been handled leads many to think
that there will be Others" and that
pretty soon.
