BRYAN IN WISCONSIN.
Less Than Half Dozen Speeches Made
Yesterday The Programme OF Bryan's
Campaign.

Waukesha, Wis, Oct. 4.-Mr. BRYAN
had a comparatively easy day yester-
day. He made less than half dozen
speeches and he travelled by easy
stages from Portage City to this
place, speaking only at Portage, Co.
lnmbus, Watertown, Oc0nomowoc and
Waukesha. Rain fell during the
greater part of the day. This cir
cumstance had the effect of reducing
the crowds somewhat, but at most of
these places there were as many peo-
pie as could well hear all that was
said. Mr. Bryan said last night that
he would give the sth and 9th of this
month to Illinois, the 10th and 18th
to Michigan and the 18th, 18th and
18th to Ohio. He will go direct from
Cleveland to New York, reaching that
city at three o'clock in the after
noon before he is to speak in Madison
Square garden.

THE MINERS STRIKE.
Nothing New Developed in the An

HazletOn, Pa, Oct. 4.-An0ther day
has come and gone without develop
ing anything new in the strike of the
anthracite coal miners of Pennsyl-
vana. Although most of the com
panies have offered their mine work.
ers ten per cent. net increase in
wages, not move has yet been made
by any Of the strikers toward a re-
sumption of work. The men have
thus far stood together without
showing any weakness in any part of
their ranks.
Yesterday President Mitchell was
informed of the wide circulation of a
story to the effect that he had reached
an agreement with the presidents of
the coal mining and coal carrying
railroads and after verbally denying
the report he issued the following to
the miners of the anthracite region:
I'VE have just been informed that the
report has been circulated at Ashland
to the effect that in a conference in
New York this morning between the
coal presidents and mypelf an agree
ment was reached which will end the
strike. You are requested to pay no
attention to statements of this kind
and to continue the strike until such
concessions are made by the operators
as will justify us in calling general
convention
A secret conference of the leading
officials of the miners organization
was held at Hazleton. At its conclu-
sion President Mitchell said the ques-
ton of calling a joint convention had
not been considered. He added that
out of $4,000 mine workers only
about 5000 are at work and these, he
said, would be out in short time.
Tho Reading COMPANY. Notice.
Philadelphia, Oct. 4.-There were no
developments of special Importance
yesterday in the miners strike. An
interesting feature was the Reading
companys notice to its employees
that, in addition to its offer of ten
per cent. increase, it was Willing to
enter into arbitration with them rel
ative to any grievances they may
have. None of the strikers, however,
have yet indicated their intention to
return to work. Affairs were ex.
tremely quiet yesterday throughout
the anthracite region. Gen. Goblin,
in command of the state troops re-
Gently sent TO Schuylkill county on
request from the sheriff, directed an
other of the regiments to return
home to-day. One regiment left on
Monday. There now remains but one
regiment, battery of artillery and
company of mounted troops.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Oct. 4.-Lying at
the morgue in this city with. bullet
hole through his heart is man, pow
erfully built, black hair, mustache,
about six feet tall, aged apparently As
years. He was one Of two men who
held up the Kansas City passenger
train on the Burlington road three
miles south of this city at midnight.
Express Messenger Charles Baxter
killed him. The two men boarded the
train at the Union Pacific transfer
and climbed over the tender just as
the train was crossing the Mosquito
creek bridge. Engineer Donnelly and
Frank Holman, fireman. who were in
charge of the engine, were ordered to
slow up as soon as the train had
crossed the bridge While one man
held revolver on the engine crew
his companion went back and cut off
the baggage and mail ears, leaving the
day coaches and sleepers standing on
the main line
Acting under orders, the engineer
pulled the train half a mile down the
track, where a stop was made. Here
the robbers approached the express
car and ordered Messenger Baxter to
open the door He refused to do so.
Under compulsion, Engineer Donnelly
attached stick of dynamite to the
door of the car and blew 1t open. In
the meantime, Messenger Baxter
seized his gun and escaped from the
door on the opposite side of the car.
AS soon as the door was opened, one
OF the robbers entered the car, while
his companion marched the engineer
and fireman back to the engine.
Baxter crept around In front of the
engine and, seeing the robber stand
ing guard over the engine crew, fired
one shot, killing him instantly. As
soon as the shot was heard, the rob-
Der in the car jumped to the ground
and fled through a cornfeld. Nothing
was taken.
