The pi< strike.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. THE United

" delay the call for meeting to consider
the offer Of 10 per cent raise. Six OF
the large companies, representing o6 per
cent of the tonnage, have posted notices OF
the offer. A number Of smaller companies
have done likewise. As result OF re-
cent meeting Of the individual operators,
most of the more important individual op-
orators joined in the offer, and on top Of
this the Delaware 4 Hudson, operating Il
collieries and carrying Q per cent OF the
total tonnage, fell into line by posting the
notices. Those who did not post notices cay
their only choice is acceding or closing.
The Delaware, Lackawanna 4 Western has
evidently become satisfied that its men will
not return to work until the strike is set
tied. All the mules in 10 mines were TAX
en- out today and put in pasture.

fBryan's Wonderful Campaign

Mr., Bryan is now making the most
remarkable campaign witnessed in the
history of American politics. -Four
years ago he canyassed the country,
and astonished the people by the num-
Der of speeches he made. Merely as q
test of physical endurance that cam
paign was remarkable; but though he
varied his speeches somewhat to suit
local conditions, he had a central theme
which he emphasized everywhere.
Naturally this gave sameness to his
speeches, and took away the keenness
and the interest We do not mean in
anyway to belittle his achievement:
four years ago, but simply to call at.
tcntion to the fact that his campaign
this year outcassess his campaign Of
1896.
What has particularly impressed us
is the readiness he has shown in meet.
ing every issue. Some of the best
speeches he has made have been in an.
swer to questions propounded to him
from the audience. 1t has been sup,
posed that Bourke Cochran was I'M.
rivaled in this line, but Mr.. Bryan has
shown himself even apter and quicker
at countering upon querist than the
famous New York orator. Every ad.
dress that he has made is full of new
ideas aud arguments, and goes TO prove

Orchestras and bands throughout the

fguratively speaking. however, for
"The Colored Major" is a musical COM
position i'll the form of characteristic
march and two-step. 1t is far superior
to anything of its kind that has been
written in years. 1t combines just
enough of that peculiar style of compc-
sition known as "rag-time, " with parts
that are thoroughly musical to make it
agreeable.
Moreover, this march has CATCH
ness and swing about it which makes it
an immense favorte with musicians,
who pronounce it the best they have
ever played. The drum solo, which is
introduced in the trio, is a rare novel
ty, and never fails to receive thunder
