"All the issues that have been presented

United States. We do not recognize that
Mr.. Bryan has done anything for his cOun-
try or people generally TO sntitle him to the
highest honor in their gift. Read the pub

INTERNATIONAL ARBITERs.
Foreign Governments Beginning to
Take Interest in the Matter


Judge Gray, ex-senator from Delaware.
who has been named as a member of The
Hague court of arbitration, called to see
Secretary Hay at the State Department
this morning. The Secretary was at cab
met, however, and the judge had a short
talk with Assistant Secretary Adee. He
says he has not as yet formally accepted
the appointment.
The action taken by the United States in
designating ex-President Harrison and ex-
Senator Gray as members of the interna-
tional court of arbitration. is attracting
the attention of foreign governments. which
are making inquiries through their repre-
sentatives here as to the steps taken by
this country. The indications are that the
American initiative will result in general
action by the other powers interested.
IhuS Tar, so lar as can be learned none
of the foreign governments has named it's
members of the tribunal. 1t is understood
however, that NJ. Martens, the distinguished
Russian publicist. is likely to succeed NJ
Struve as Russian minister to The Hague
and at the same time be designated as one
of the Russian members of the arbitration
court. M. Maertens is one Of the council
of the minister of state, and he is recoe-
nized as one of the foremost authorities and
writer's on International law question of the
day. having for years presented annually
Maertens' digest OF International law uues-
tons the world over. This led to his unani-
nous selection by the British and American
members Of the Venezuelan arbitration
court as the fifth member. or umpire OF
that tribunal, where he was associated with
General Harrison and Chief Justice Fuller
Baron de Stal, the Russian delegate to The
Hague. who acted as president Of the con-
gress, has also been mentioned as a prob
able Russian member of the court but 1t
Is understood that he prefers not to serve
on account Of age.

IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Mr. Kaufman Says Business Men Are
for Mckinley,


Mr.. A. c. kaufman of South Carolina is
here to attend the meeting of the Red Cross
Society, in which he has long taken an in
terest. Mr.. Kaufman is democrat who
voted for Cleveland after his second and
third nominations.
II voted for Cleveland" said Mr. Kauf-
man, when talking to a Star reporter to-
day, because 1 believed he was a safe man
and not because 1 believed in many of his
methods. l am a protectionist, and 1 be-
lieve in anything that contributes to the
benefit of the country. A large number of
the business men of the south are taking
this same view of the election today and
Tor that reason they favor the election of
Mckinley, as l do. The time was when
South Carolina was almost entirely a farm
ing community. Now it has a very large
manufacturing interest, which, in fact is
as large as the manufacturing interest of
any southern state
The business men of the south are
naturally expansionists because they know
tnat only through expansion can they find
a market for their goods, and they are for
SOUND money because only through sound
money can We have prosperity. That Is the
way L look at the situation today, and that
is growing sentiment in the south. In
south Carolina, especially in the upper part
OF the state, there is a growing idea that
independence Of thought should be enjoyed
and that the day for following political
leaders blindly is past.
You can put this down as a positive as
sertion,' said Mr. Kaufman. Il do not be-
.heve there is a business enterprise in the
south that has not behind it men who are
In favor Of sound money and continuance
OF the present condition of affairs as con-
Quoted by Mckinley If the vote in South
Carolina is counted honestly next month

CONFLICTING STRII

NEW YORK, October 16.-Confiicting re-
ports dealing with the anthracite coal
strike were current in town today. 1t was
hinted from a high source that the de-
mands Of the miners. made at the Scran-
ton convention, would probably be recog-
nized by the coal companies posting notices
calling the men to work at their own terms
in a day or two.
An officer of the Delaware and Hudson
Company was reported to have stated that
the trouble between that company and the
miners has been placed In the hands OF
the mine superintendents for adjustment,
and that work will probably be renewed
by Monday next. This statement could not
be confirmed
President Maxwell of the Jersey Central
Railroad Company said he had heard of 70
change in the situation His company had
received official notice of the action
taken at Scranton, and matters had not
teen placed in the hands of his company's $
mine superintendents for adjustment.
He had heard of no conference of the coal
road presidents and was sure that none
would be held today. Mr.. Maxwell was nom
committal when asked whether it was not
true that the operators were manifestlng IA
more conciliatory spirit, but would only
repeat that far as he knew the SITUATION
was without change.
Preparing to Resume Work.
SCRANTON, Pa, October 16.-That there
is a positive assurance of the end of the
strike of the anthracite miners seems GER
tain today, in view Of the preparations
which are being made all through the Lack
awanna valley for the resumption of work
The coal companies are crowding their mine
sidings with empty cars and the end OF the
week will find thousands of cars in place
where formerly only hundreds were to be
seen. This is done in order to be prepared
for the great demand for coal, which Will
necessitate the running Of the mines and
breakers to their utmost capacity for weeks
in order to get the stock ahead to meet the
winters demand.
