strike settlement Prospects.

All sorts Of divergent opinions seem to
be entertained in regard to the prospects
for a settlement of the anthracite coal
strike as a result of the decision reached
bv the Scranton convention on Saturday
last The miners, as far as we can learn
seem inclined to think that the Coal
Trust and its allies will accept that de-
cision within few days, while the con-
sensus of opinion among trust officials
and small operators is for the moment
quite the other way.
Probably the real chance that Morgan
and the other magnates may suceumb,
and agree to maintain the ten per cent
advance until April l, 1901, as demanded
by the United Mine Workers, depends
upon the extent of the influence Marcus
4. Hanna backed by the Hayemeyers and
men of that ilk, can exert in the prem
ises. The trust situation in the matter
is badly mixed. The Rockefeller inter
ests are identified with those of Morgan
and the coalers in the matter, and John
D. Rockefeller is a most uncompromising
individual. Should he happen TO catch
a stiff neck in the contention. the Repub
lican National Committee might whistle
for any concession on his part; and he
controls the rest of the outfit, the great
banker Included.
1t is evident however, that Hanna has
thought he had the strike in hand, since,
on Saturday, he boasted to an audience
in Chicago that Sunday mornings papers
would show that settlement had been
reached. and strongly intimated that the
happy result was the work Of his philan-
thropie brain.
The Coal Trust people will have 8 meet
ing a MoTgan's office today, What it will
amount TO remains TO be seen. If tie
miners ultimatum is submitted to, il Will
only be so in consequence Of political
pressure. On Saturday a leading opera
tor, being communicative after such din
ner as his kind induges in, let the trust
cat out of the bag by confiding to news
paper man the design of the magnates in
offering the ten per cent advance without
time limit. He said that it was the in
tentfon of the Coal Trust to knock of the
ten per cent on February l, by which date
a good stock of coal would be in hand
and the miners union helpless to enforce
another strike. Then, month later. an
other reduction OF ten per cent would be
made, in order to recoup the trust for
| losses of profit during the present trou-
bles.
On the side of the Mine Workers
Organization and the miners generally,
there appears to be settled determina-
tion not to return to work until all that
was asked by the convention has been
conceded. This brings us back to the po
liticaI factor in the equation. If Hanna
has the power to coerce Rockefeller and
Morgan into ending the strike and put
ting stop to the trust object lesson it
so dangerously presents, from the Trust
Mckinley point of view, there should be
settlement and q resumption of opera
tions before another week. Otherwise it
is probable that the strike will last at
least until after the Presidential election.

Marcus A Hanna made. or rather tried
to make, a speech in the Chicago stock
yards district On Saturday. He was re-
ceived by an audience of six thousand
workingmen with great enthusiasm. and
"heekled" in such a way that he was
soon sputtering with rage, and bandying
the explosive lie with people in the audi
ence He did not repeat his declaration
that there is not a trust in the United
States" probably because he was COM
PEELED to answer concrete questions con-
cerning trusts which really exist in spite
of his denial. It was rather a hard ses-
sion for Marcus, The climax came when
he shouted: Every dollar I have l.
'.stole." shouted the united voice of the
multitude Now we wonder: Could there
have been any possible ground for such
an unkind but unanimous verdict? It is
plain that more trust money will have to
be put into the Republican compaign,' if
things go on in this way.

sIanaering W-ehster Daxis-In :

SIandering Webster Davis.-In a
speech at Chicago yesterday, Mr.. Hanna
openly charged the Hon. Webster Davis
with accepting a bribe of 1925, 600 from
Dom Paul Kruger. This slander has been
quietly going the rounds ever since Mr
Davis resigned the Assistant Secretaryship
of the Interior and espoused the cause OF
Mr Bryan. II is believed that Davis will
bring Mr.. Hanna into court, and make him
prove his charge, or pay dearly for it. Han
na also asserted in his Chicago speech that
Davis obtained this money from Kruger
by representing himself to be Secretary of
State in Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet. This ac-
cusation is based upon the theory of a
denser ignorance of affairs at the Transya-
al capital than possibly could have exist
ed Every Government In Christendom is
always aware OF the name of the officer OF
every other Government who deals with
foreign affairs It is considered highly
probable that until he went to Pretoria
Dom Paul had never heard of Webster Da-
Wis, but it is ridiculous to suppose that
Kruger did not know that the Hon. John
Hay was Secretary of State of the United
States However, as Mr.. Hanna has made
on his own responsibility serious charges
against the pers onal hsnor Of Mr. Davis it
is thought Mr. Davis will proceed against
his defamcr in the proper and effective

Chandler ReEeaguered. ShriT
piercing cries for help are splitting the
circumainbient of New Hampshire The
voice is familiar. 1t is none othsr than
that of the Hon William Eaton Chandler
The octopus has its tentacles wound
around Chandler. The Senator's breath
IS almost gone and with each twist Of
the tentacles the voice grows weaker AMI
more muffied Many a time and eft has
this distinguished statesman decried the
octopus as a mere fgment of oyerheated
imagination On more than enc occas on
has ne scoffed at IT upon the floor OF the
Senate. But now he knows that the octo-
pus is a real thing because, as before
stated, the octopus has him in its tenta-
cles. In New Hampshire the octopus
| takes the fOlTG of the Boston and Maine
Railroad. II has pleased Senator Chan
der il times past to bite his thumbs at
this corporation, just as he has scoffed
at the octopus in all forms and shapes.
But now that the Boston and Maine is
fighting him openly he finds it necessary
to do something more than bite his
thumbs. Eight or ten candidates have teen
brought out against him by the Boston
and Maine. The latest of these is the
! Hon. Frank Jones. who during the days
| of Cleveland was the migatiest Democrat
| in all New Hampshire. Jones at one time
| was president of the Boston and Maine,
He is still as much interested in
the corporation as he was when he was
its directing genus He quit the Demo-
cratic party in 1895. as did Pierpont
Morgan, E. .. Benedict, and others Of the
Eastern cabaI who got control Of the par
ty through CleyeIand's power and pres
tige and who realized that there was no
room for them when the party was re-
organized at Chicago four years ago.
Jones was a deiegate-at-large to the Re-
publican National Convention Senator
Chandler was there too but not as
delegate He had voted and worked
against some of the Administration ! ct
schemes at the session of Congress pre-
ceding the convention, and Mr. Hanna
conspired with Senator Gallinger to keep
| Chandler from being elected a delegate.
! Mr.. Hanna is now encoura ging the fight
| against Chambers reelection to the
Senate. Mr.. Chandler is too independent
in his views and conduct to suit the Han
Mates. Then, too. he is a statesman CT
wit and imagination. He is not a bus
mess man" He takes a genuine pride in
craftsmanship and while possessed of
sufficient amount Of hard Yankee sense
/ to accumulate a competency, still his
| whole life has not been devoted to money
making Mr. Chandler will probably be
strangled by II . octopus. and thus the
| Hannaites will be relieved Of him.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, November
9.-The death OF mouse saved the
lives of dozen persons at Sherman q
few days ago. The little animal did
not know when its life was sacrificed
that it was dying to save the lives of
men, but such was the effect of its
death. w. c. Aten lives with his
mother and two sisters and Miss Flora
Bryson, a cousin, at Sherman. They
and several families who live near
them have been drinking water from
Mr.. Aten's cistern all summer. A few
days ago they pumped up dead
mouse with a bucket of water, and
they all quit using the water until the
cistern could be cleaned out. Yester-
day while cleaning out the cistern Mr..
Aten found at the bottom a paper sack
containing about a pound of paris
green. A stone was tied up in the sack
to sink it, and it is supposed that some
one had attempted to poison the fam
lilies by putting poison in the water
they drank. The timely discovery of
the dead mouse was all that saved the
lives of at least a dozen persons.

MORE COMMENT
BY Newspapers Upon the Recent
Mother Hubbard Parade.


Mother Hubbard Parade.
The newspapers are still discussing
the recent Mother - Hubbard parade,
and as it is commented upon by an
other and another, the celebration is
magnified in numbers and in features
which might be Objectionable. Under
the caption Guy Fawkes Day in West
Virginia Town" the Springfield, lMass.)
Republican publishes the following:
There is one place in America be-
sides New Orleans, where the men make
fools of themselves yearly, and while
the Mother Hubbard parade of Wheeling
may not be so grandiose as Prince Car
nival's procession in New Orleans, it is
much more foolish, and embodies such
insult to womanhood as one could hard
Iy believe possible in an American COM
munity If dispatch to the New York
Tribune may be trusted, Mother Hub
bard parades have been in order there
since Belva Lockwood's candidacy for
president, and Republicans and Demo-
Gratis unite in "a grand spectacular cele-
bration and illumination" on the eve
of election, In which no partisan senti-
ment is allowed to interfere with the
unity of red fire and electric lights and
yells. They ostensibly celebrate some
woman, and this year it was Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gatt, the new president of the
American woman suffrage association.
The fun of it is that all these men mas
querade as women. The parade of Mon
day evening is thus in part pictured:
