JOE LETTERS BIG WINNING.
Chicago an Takes $4,000 from Pat sheedy
in Paris.


New York, Oct. ia dispatch from
Paris says: Joe Letter of Chicago
brother of the vicereine of India, and
Pat Sheedy of New York, brother of
nobody of such Importance, concluded
a poker game which will ever remain
historic. 1t was an all-night session.
Mr.. Letter is $4,000 to the good; Mr.
Sheedy is out just that sum.
A friend of both introduced them.
There was some talk of cards, and the
two agreed to game. They met at
the Club Capucines, in a private room.
The play lasted for eight hours, unin-
terruptedly. There were but six wit
nesses. For three hours everything
came Sheedy's way. At midnight he
was $4,000 ahead. In the small hours
luck changed, and he lost so rapidly
that his nerve went all to pieces. Young
Letter quit $4,000 ahead. He won
$4,000 in one pot.

not a democrat. Mr.. Bryan is the

the demand made by the miners will

question upon which definite informa-
ton was not obtainable in this city.
The miners demand that the 10 per
cent. advance shall remain in force
until April 1, 1901, and that other
grievances shall be settled by arbitra-
ton. Efforts were made to see w. III.

road, and Alfred Walter, president of

Called to Attend Con ference.

Called to Attend Conference.
The coincidence of their absence
from the city upon the same day led
to the presumption that they had been
called away to attend some conference
to consider the mems demands, but
other officials Of the companies who
were seen professed to have no knowl-
edge of the holding of any meeting by
the heads of the cOal-carrying rail-
roads. The three companies referred
to will be largely concerned in any de-
cision that may be reached as to the
acceptance or refusal of the terms
formulated by the strikers. Another
dominant factor in the deliberations Of
the operators who control the situa-
ton would be r. NJ. ELEPHANT, presi-
dent Of the Delaware and Hudson Coal
company, but he is lying seriously i'll
at his home in this city, and can take
no part in the controversy.
Individual Operators Will Agree.
Some of the individpal operators
who were seen said that they had no
idea of what attitude the railroad
would take, but they agreed that what
ever action was determined upon by
the coaEcarrying roads would OF neces-
sity receive the acquiescence of the in
dividual mine owners. More than one
of these independent operators, how
ever, expressed the opinion that the
railroads would not agree TO arbitrate,
inasmuch as such an agreement would
be one-sided in the face of the readi-
ness which the men had manifested, as
shown in the instance Of the employees
of the Markle mines, to disregard,
when it suited their purpose, contracts
which provided for the settlement of
disputes by arbitration.
Thinks Companies Offer Final.
'sNOr do l think" one Of the indie
pendent operators said in discussing
the situation, that the mine owners
will consent to bind themselves to pay
so large an increase until April i,
when the warm weather and the fall
ing off of demands for coal which al
ways occurs in the spring, might very
greatly reduce prices. While do not
think that the demand to abolish the
sliding scale would in itself be re-
jected by the operators, If that had
been the only additional concession
asked for, am inclined to believe
that the answer Of the railroads to
the men will be that they have made
their offer and will not go beyond it,
or, in other words, the miners must
either be content with the prOffered
advance of 10 per cent. in wages or
remain idle"
