Special Dispatch TO the Intellircncer.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct, A.-
Chairman Miller, of the Democratic
state committee Of West Virginia, was
in the city to-day. It Is understood
that he was at first disposed to claim
for his party everything worth having
in the state, but after a discussion of
the situation, he admitted there might
be slice or two OF pie for his politi-l
cal opponents.
He believes the Democrats will carry
the state and that they will get the leg
isiature, but failed to give the basis Of
his belief. He says the Fourth con-
gresslonal district Is In grave doubt,
and that the First district will 60 Re-.
publican, but believes that the Second
and Third districts are pretty safely
Democratic. This will not be COM
forting news to Candidates Raymond
and Collins. or course not, as. Miller;
is of the opinion, SO he is credited with
expressing himself, that Kanawha
county will elect two Republicans and
two Democrats to the house of dele-l
gates, and that the Republicans will
elect the senator in the Kanawha dis.
trIct.
He is alleged to have admitted that,
Fayette county will give a Republican.
majority of considerable magnitude.
These last admissions will not be as
surlng to at least two Democratic can
didates In Kanawha county. to say
nothing Of the candidate for state sem
ate In that district.

Workers In the present situation OF the

er the strike would be Immediately de-
clared off or whether It would be con-
tinued.

suit of to-day's conference, between the
national and district officers Of the
United Mine Workers. The impression

Coal companies controlling about Is per
cent Of the anthracite coal pF6dGcr,s t=Is
learned, have posted notices, but Presl-
dent Mitchell will not say that all OF

The big companies In this district that
have not posted the notices are the Le-
high Coal G. Navigation Company. 6. B.
Markle & Company and Coke Brothers
G. Company. The Markles have grant
ed no Increase of wages OF any kind.
President Mitchell, ut Its conclusion.
announced that the situation was partly
canvassed and that the review would
be completed Tomorrow.
The conference discussed plans as to
what will be done in event Of one or
more of the coal companies should de-
cline to grant the demand Of the miners
as set forth In the resolution adopted at
the Scranton convention.
No definite conclusion was, however,
arrived at.
Mr.. Mitchell declined to say whether
the statement of the United Mine Work.
ers that no man will be permitted to re-
turn to work unless they oil 90 In to-
gether. still holds good.

forts resulted in crowded hall and q

Army band and the Canton Republican
League marched to the Mckinley home
to escort the secretary. An immense
crowd. followed and there was an en-
thusiastIc invasion Of the Mckinley
lawn. The President himself es-
corted the secretary to the carriage,
elbowing his way down the dark walk
and then across the lawn to the side
street where the band was stationed.

tu screnade and then retired to the
porch amid deafening cheers.

Shopping in Japan.

japanese are very fond of strolling
through their bazaars. You enter at
one door and leave by another. Goods
for sale are displayed on each side of
aisles that wind through the length
of the shop. Passing up and down
these aisles they lead you to the Sec
ond, and often third, story of the
building, then back again through diff
ferent aisles, causing you to travel the
length of the establishment many
times. Finally you see the doorway
a few feet distant, but even then you
must travel this maze several times
its length TO escape.
Usually shopping is very restful in
Japan. You sit around ont he floor,
and in some shops they bring you
cups of tea to sip and hibachi"
from which to light your pipe.
Time is of no consequence to the
Orientals, nor are they eager to sell.
Their ideas of trade are very peculiar
You are compelled to ask them wheth-
er you can see articles after their stat
ing that they have them in the store.
Ten pieces of an article sometimes
cost twelve times the cost of one.
They will not sell 100 at less rate,
but insist on your paying extra be-
cause of the large quantity desired.
They frankly tell you their price to
japanese customers and then that
foreigners have to pay about so to
100 per cent more, and laugh.
