Portage. Wis. Oct. 4.--Mr. Bryan's
 attention was called to a statement
 made by Mir. Kingman that he re- .ci,ed $i50,o00 for insisting upon the
 silver plank of the Kansas City silver platform. and he said: Ut is hardly worth while to deny the charge of man who hides behind woman. whose name he will not give, but in
 order that the most interruptions re- publican may have no reason for re- beating the charge, l will say that it is absolutely false in every particu- lar. No one ever offered, promised or gave me that sum or any other sum for urging that plank or any other plank in the Kansas City platform or any other platform. I do not know anything of Mir. Kingman, but it is said that he is cousin of Senator Cullom, and l do know something of Senator Cullom. The senator ought to know whether his cousin is trust worthy or not. and if the senator will state over his own signature that he believes what his cousin says, and is willing to represent him in an investi- gation of the charge, I will make him n proposition which will give him an opportunity to produce his evidence"

 Man.

If there be one thing that more than an- other admire it is the having ones wits about one-perhaps because 1 never had mine. To be possessed only of pesprit 6'esealiers is simply an aggravation, writes John Paul in Harper's Magazine.
 As illustrative of ready-witted men I re- call an incident that have often told but never published. Let me do that now in justice to one that is gone.
 In company with the late J. R. Osgood once of an evening dropped in at Wallack' s old Fourteenth Street theatsr. We could get no seats, as there was standing room only. At the end of the first act two or chestra seats were vacant in front, and we walked down and took them. Barely were we seated when two gent!emanly looking young men came down the aisle and ad- dressed me.
 :, Beg pardon, but have you checks for those seats?"
 was on the point of rising, when Osgood replied: No. Have you?'
 They. hadn't. It was merely bit of su- preme bluff. But how few would have had the readiness to meet and parry it.

IN THE WYOMING VALLEY.
Conditions Unchanged operators View of MitcheIrs Address

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Oct. 4.-The Wyo- ming valley was unusually quiet after Tuesdays big demonstration upon the part of the strikers, and the mining condition remains unchanged.
 The operators, after reading Presi- dent Mitchel's address. have appar- ently come to the conclusion that he is ready to settle the strike on the basis of a ten per cent. increase in wages. The fact that he has signified his intention of calling a convention is taken by them as an indication that he is willing to retire from the struggle with the laurels he has won.
 "The truth of the matteris.s said an operator. Mitchell did not expect to gain anything when he ordered the strike. The fact that he denied call. ing it. and went to New York per, sonally to interview the presidents oi the coal carrying-roads. was convinc. ing proof that he kRew the opposi. tion that would be encountered. and that chances were against his win ming. He has got more concessions now that ever expected. and he vii let it go at that"
