Philippines, who is staying here, when
informed by the correspondent Of the AS
Sociated Press of the result of Gov. Taft S
negotiations with the Vatican on the
subjects of the friars and their lands, eX-
pressed satisfaction at the acceptance
polla, the papal secretary of state, that
the matter be discussed at Manila, be-
tween an apostolic delegate and the gov
ernor of Manila. When asked what was
likely to be the outcome Rev. Father
Paya replied:
1T is more important to know what will
be the outcome Of the matters between
the Americans and. FilipinoS. Although
the war is almost over and the Filipinos
now profess friendship for the Americans
disliked the Spaniards. The Filipinos say
they did not struggle against Spain to
calmly surrender their independence"

claring that it was not true that the

President MitcheII's Suggestion.

President John J. Mitchell advocated
in place of general strike the follow
ing policy:
First-That Rae treasurere of the order
be directed to appropriate 900 for the
relief of the anthracite miners. ajr.
Second-That the unions appropriate
for the same purpose as large sum as
can be afforded.
Third-That an assessment of 81 per
week be levied on all members of unions.
Fourth-That all officers of the national
districts drawing a salary of $50 month
or over contribute 25 per cent of their
salaries.
Fifth-That an appeal be made to all
trade unions and citizens generally to
aid the cause of the miners.
SiXth-That an address to the Amer
lean people be issued appealing to the
American people to bring such pressure
to bear as will compel the operators to
submit to arbitration.
When the convention met in the aft
ernoon motion was made and carried
that the convention go at once into ex-
ecutive session. John P. Reese, OF
Iowa, moved a reconsideration of the
vote by which this action was taken,
declaring that in view of the momen-
tous issues depending upon the action
of the convention, secret sessions were
undesirable,

BLACK DIAMOND, Wash, July IL
Tracy has escaped again. He has elud-
ed the sheriff of King county and many
picked men who had advanced on his
hiding place three miles from here last
night,
The posse arrived at Tracy's hiding
place six or eight hours after he had
left. He had taken a rowboat and
had gone to the east of Sawyer lake,
presumably about 2 o'clock this morn
ing, accompanied by his two confede-
rates. Sheriff Cudihee and the posse
returned to Black Diamond at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. The chase from here
has been abandoned.

Fifteen heavily armed men. composed
of the nerYiest and most trustworthy
men obtainable here, all of whom are
thoroughly acquainted with the coun-
try, left here this morning. 1t is said
they are expecting Tracy ~ cross the
mountains and they are arranging to
guard all the passes. The posse di-
vided a few miles up the valley, one
party descending the Wensas pass and
the other going up the Natchez.

Anthracite Men Caucus.

His recommendations, if adopted by
the convention this afternoon, would
have settled the entire question for
which the convention was called and
an immediate adjournment would have
followed. A motion to adopt the sug-
gestions of President Mitchell provoked
a long debate, in which the general
sentiment was against the ordering Of
the strike.
The men from the anthracite regions
finally made a request that they be al
lowed to hold a caucus to determine
upon an expression of opinion as to
what they thought the convention
should do and asked an adjournment
of the convention for this purpose.
Their request was granted and the ad-
journment taken. The men who were
in favor of a strike were in a decided
minority in the convention. Three
speeches were made by members of the
anthracite districts, asking that the
soft coal men walk out and twice as
many were made by the anthracite
men urging the soft coal men to con-
tinue at work

headquarters that the next House would
undoubtedly be Republican, the most con-
servative estimates giving majorities or
from twenty to twenty-five. There are be-

garded as certain the Democrats will not
have over three members. and possibly
only two. in the delegation.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The lull before the
opening of the final struggle tomorrow
finds the leaders of both the great parties
still claiming large and in many instances
Increased pluralities for their respective
candidates.
Frank Campbell. chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee. said in his state
Ihent that the State would give $500 plur-
ality for Coler: II now raise my figures to
$1,000. The indications are that the election
tomorrow will be a landslide for the DEM
ocratic state ticket and 1 would not be sur
prised II Mr. Coler's plurality reached 65,-
co.,"
Col George w. Dunn, chairman of the
Republican state committee. on the other
hand, stands fast to his original estimate of
$1,000 plurality for Odell, which Is prac-
iIeally the same as that of the candidate
nimself
John N Carlisle, chairman OF the Demo-
cratic executive committee, said to-day that
while he did not look for a Democratic
landslide. he was satisfied that Coler
would have plurality of at least $4,000
gotes and that he would carry eight or ten
counties outside of Greater New York, in
cluding Erie and Albany.
Despite the enormous divergence OF esti-
mates there Is at the last moment prac-
tically no change in the betting. the odds
remaining at TO 1 on Odell.
Charles F. Murphy, leader Of Tammany
Hall. could see no reason tonight for
changing his estimate of 112.0O0 plurality
for Coler in Greater New York.
Outside of the battle for the governor
ship the election of the metropolis is ex-
citing unusually little interest. Rarely has
a campaign been conducted with so little
excitement. and the indications are that
the general public apathy will result in an
unusually quiet election day.

ILLINOIS CONGREssMEN.


CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The Republicans
claim in to-morrow's state election that
they will have nineteen out of twenty-five
congressman, and more than enough men,
bers of the State Legislature to elect the
next United States senator who Is to sue
ceed Senator William E. Mason. The DEM
ocrats claim that they will have a few more
than majority of the Legislature on joint
ballot. while the Republicans assert that
there is no doubt whatever of their ability
to control the State Assembly by a ma
jority of at least a dozen or fifteen votes.
OF the twenty-five congressman to be
elected in the State the Republicans claim
that they will have sixteen ror sure and
feel confident of getting three more. The
Democrats claim twelve. The present dele
cation in Congress Is evenly divided-elev
en- Republicans and eleven Democrats. 1t
Is practically conceded by the Democrats
that the Republicans will have the ma
jority Of the congressman from this State.
In the city of Chicago and the county OF
Cook there has been in some of the con-
gressional districts desperate fight This
is particularly the case in the Sixth dis
trict, where ex-congressman William Lori
mer is seeking to regain the seat he lost
at the last election. Lorimer will not have
the full support OF the Republicans OF his
district, and the Democrats are confident
that they will be able to beat him. espe-
cially IL the weather is unpleasant. In the
Fourth. Fifth and Eighth districts the
Democratic nominees are practically unop-
posed, while in the Second, Third, Seventh,
Ninth and Tenth the Republicans are con-
ceded the better chance. the Democratic
leaders making few claims. In the First
district there will be a warm contest be-
tween Madden, the Republican, and En-
erich, the Democratic nominee.
In figures, the Republican campaign man.
ayers assert that they will carry the county
of Cook by not less than 1900, and say
they expect the plurality to be rather over
this figure than under il. Twenty-Five thou
sand is their high claim. The Democrats
claim that their county ticket will go In
by 1000 but the managers of both parties
admit that Ii is a difficult campaign on
which to make accurate predictions. 1t is
admitted on both sides that there will be a
very large independent vote, and there is
no telling in which direction the greater
part of this will go.

summer weather which has prevailed for
the past few days continue tomorrow
IL Is believed the total State vote will run
well above 100000. Republicans are ex-
ceedingly confident. and the Democrats
very hopeful. The former claim the State
by 25.0OO. while the latter believe they
will elect their candidate for Governor by
5000 plurality. The present congressional
delegation stands ten Republicans and
three Democrats. but this year Massachu-
setts gains a Congressman on the redis-
tricting. Under the new aportionment the
Republicans assert that twelve of the party
candidates will win, while the Democrats
say that they will elect at least six out of
fourteen Congressman. The uncertain ele-
ment in to-morrow's election Is the
strength of the Socialistic vote.

pears to be confident of being elected by
