SENATOR sPoONER's SPEECH.
He Opens the Republican Campaign
in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 13.-United
States Senator ]. C. Spooner made his
first speech of the Republican cam
paign in Wisconsin, at Schlitz Park in
this city tonight. Touching upon the
coal strike, he said:
THE coal strike is an element which
disturbs the people of this whole coun-
try. 1t is a. menace which frightens al
most everyone, Does any man attrib-
ute it to the Republican policies? Who
does? 1t is a question between the op-
orators, the coal mining companies
and their men. in which I sympathize
with the men. prolonged APP
plause) The coal combination is
one, gentlemen, which exists in VIOLA
ton of the constitution of the state of
Pennsylvania, which prohibits a pri-
Vate company from owning or operat-
ing coal mines. If that constitutional
provision has not been enforced it is
not the fault of the Republican party
in the United States. 1t is the fault of
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 1t
cannot be attributed to the tariff, for
until a duty-and a small duty-on
anthracite coal found its way somehow
Il have yet to find the man who knows
how-into the Dingley law, there had
been no tariff on anthracite coal. If
the operators had accorded the in
crease of wages which the men de-
manded, you and would have been
obliged to pay it, for they would have
added 1t to the price of coal-and we
would have gladly paid it to avert this
trouble. So it was not that; but when
a combination of capital like that of
the coal trust refuses to recognize a
com bination of labor, it reaches the
dizzy hight of impudence."

MANY CONFERENCES.
High Coal officials in Philadelphia
Pnsy Most of Yesterday,

PHsy Most of Yesterday.
Philadelphia, Oct 13.-Numerous con-
farences took place in this city to-day
relative to the anthracite coal miners
strike, the more prominent of the par
tcipants being President Baer of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company; President Cassatt of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Sem
ator Quay. The proceedings at the va
rious meetings were not divulged, but
it was evident that some new move is
contemplated by the operators.
As President Baer was leaving his
office in the Reading terminal building
this evening he was asked as to the
truth of the report tina tthe operators
contemplated offering the striking
miners an increase. To this and all
other questions he returned his usual
answer-that he had nothing to say.
President Baer returned to this city
from New York to-day and went to
the office of President Cassatt, remain
ing in conference with him about IS
minutes. After Mr.. Baer had depart
ed Mr. Cassatt proceeded to the office
of Isaac Wistar, president of the
Pennsylvania company's anthracite
coal companies. While the two men
we're in conference Senator Quay ar
rived. His visit was brief. AS he was
leaving Mr.. Cassatt's Office he was
asked: rs President Cassatt making
any effort to procure a settlement of
the strike, and have you been the
bearer of any message from President
Roosevelt to Mr.. Cassatt ?"
The senator declined to answer, but
Immediately proceeded to Mr.. Baer's
office, where he remained in conference
with the Reading Company's president
for short time.

Governor Odell of New York Makes
First of Many Speeches.

Governor OdeII of New York Makes
First of Many Speeches.
New York. Oct. 1S.-Gov. Ode1l to-
night opened the Republican state
campaign in Brooklyn by making a
number of speeches. The principal one
was made at the Claremont Rink,
where he said:
THE combinations of capital which
have marked the commercial progress
of our country, have been accompanied
by combinations of labor. So long as
both pursue their business within the
limits of constitutional and statutory
law they are entitled to the protection
of the state and the strong arm of the
government. Violations, whether they
be through the artificial enhancement
of prices: whether they be in the
direction of curtailment of production;
whether they be by the inter
ference with the rights of
individual workingmen, or what
ever form such lawlessness may
take, should be promptly met and sup
pressed by the power vested in the ex-
ecutive branches of government. The
rights of the people are paramount
Whenever conflicts of capital and labor
threaten not only the prosperity, but
also the physical comfort and welfare
of the people, it then becomes the duty
of those who represent the common
wealth. which has given to the one a
charter right for existence, and to
both labor and capital it's guarantee of
protection, to step in and endeaVor to
adjust such differences"

Washington, Oct. ia decision of
sweeping importance to ticket scalpers
and the railroad passenger business
generally was delivered to-day by Jus
tice Hagner of the Equity Court Of the
District of Columbia, who permanently
enjoined thirty-three of the local ticket
brokers from selling the Grand Army
special excursion tickets, issued by the
Pennsylvania, Southern, Chesapeake
and Ohio and Baltimore and Ohio rail-
roads. The defense of the brokers was
that they are pursuing a legal licensed
brokerage business: and that the rail-
roads in com bining in the esta blishment
of joint ticket agency here during
the encampment for the vising of re-
turn tickets, ETC., violated the Sher-
man antitrust law. The court held
that the tickets sold by the roads on
account of the Grand Army, bore con-
tracts signed by the purchasers in the
presence of a witness, and were abso-
lutely void when used by any other
than the original purchaser.
