DEMOCRATIC DESPERATION.

FORT WAYNE. Ind, Oct. 1.-THE con-

that the Robinson forces are badly fright

ist agitation. The Democrats. therefore.
trying to break down Gilhams, the
Republican candidate, in order to hold their
partisans in line. Robinson induced the
state committee to send a ferret to La
grange county. where Gilhams is auditor
and investigate his books. 1t was learned
that he had not paid over the fees for filing
mortgage exemption papers. and a great
stir was made about that until Gilhams
produced a sworn statement from his Board
Of Commissioners saying that they had in
structed him to hold the fees in escrow
until the courts decide to whom they be-
long. Attorney General Taylor gave the
same advice and that campaign canard
was nailed.
This work for the Democrats was done by
z. b. Swift, OF Indianapolis. Swift has
spent three weeks in Lagrange living at a
good hotel and thus far seems to be en-
joying life without work at the expense of
Representative Robinson, to whom the
state committee undoubtedly charges up
the salary and board account, since no one
else could possibly be interested.
The desperation of the Robinson crowd
became evident a few days ago when they
planned to arrest Gilhams in a public way

GREAT EVANSVILLE MEETING.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
EVANSVILLE. Ind, Oct. 1.-THE Repub-
licans had their greatest rally here this
evening, and there was a great outpouring
of the people TO listen to the logic and
oratory Of Representatives Cannon, Lands
and Hemenway and Governor Durbin.
Eyans's Hall, the largest place of public
assemb!age in the city, was crowded with
an audience that remained until the last
speaker had been heard, and it was not
far from the midnight hour.
Mr.. Cannon devoted the major part of
his address TO exposition of the wonder
full volume of domestic and foreign trade
which has arisen in the last half decade,
trusts, he said, could not be regulated by
Democratic free trade, except at the peril or
every industry. of whatsoever character

Mr.. Lands, the second speaker discussed
the trusts and the Philippines, and said
that duty in the Philippines was only
beginning, but that We would execute II
triumphantly. He paid a beautiful tribute
to William Mckinley.
Governor Durbin showed how economical
the management of State affairs had been
under Republican administration in the last
six years.
The three speakers, all of whom are in
innate associates of Representative Hem
enway either in legislative or other public
relations, said he was one of the strongest
men of the national House. and that he
would inevitably be chosen chairman of
the committee on appropriations when Mr..
Cannon is elected speaker.
Repeated illusions to the First district
representative brought the multitude to its
feet in vociferous applause. Many illusions

None VIII BE Dismissed by Operators,
and Strikers Fear They Cannot
All Get Places Back.
MITCHELL TO THE PRESIDENT
HIS ACCEPTANCE OF THE ARBITRA-
TION COMMISSION PLAN.


WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. lin ac-
cordance with the call issued yesterday,
by order OF the executive boards of the an
thraeite districts OF the Miners Union, all
locals throughout the coal field began
electing delegates to-day TO tie convention,
which will be held here next Monday to
consider the acceptance or rejection Of the
arbitration plars submitted by President
Roosevelt Most of the local unions held
their meetings tonight They all will have
been hello by tomorrow night. 1t Is prac-
tically certain that a majority Of the dele
gates will come to the convention instructed
to vote in favor of accepting the arbitra-
ton scheme. The prominent officials Of
the union say there is no fear that the
opposition will be strong enough to defeat
the efforts OF those who favor ending the
strike by arbitrating their differences with
the operators.
President Mitchell does not care to antici-
pate the action OF the convention but from
his manner 1t is taken that he has not the
slightest DOUBT as to the result. He will
go into the convention and make a strong
speech for the acceptance of the arbitration
scheme The indications are the conven-
ti0n will last two days and that there will
be much debate various features of the
arbitration plan. The conditions at some
collieries are different from those existing
at other places.
The principal question to be discussed
before the plan is accepted by the miners
viii be that OF taking care OF all the men.
The conditions of the mines such that
all workmen cannot be given work imme-
diately and some will have to wait for
weeks before the companies can take care
OF them. The operators will not dismiss
the nonunion men in order to give employ
ment TO returning striker. 1t is under
stood the union will take care of all such
men who fail to find immediate employ
ment This will be done by drawing funds
from the relief fund, which is said to be
still growing.
1t Is estimated that 25 per cent. of the
collieries will be in operation on the first
day after the suspension Is over. The rail-
roads making every effort to have
enough cars on hand to carry the freshly
mined coal to market and are sending
thousands Of cars into the regions placing
them sidings at the collieries.
The stationary firemen affilated with the
sylvania, who went on strike June q along
with the firemen belonging to the Mine
Workers Union, met tonight and decided
to abide by the decisioK of the United
Mine Workers convention. President Bar
rett and Secretary Mullahy were author
lied to go before the arbitration committee
and urge that the firemen be granted the
eight-hour day.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-The response of
John Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers. to President Roosevelt's notifica-
tion that he had appointed a commission,
was made public to-day. Ii informs him OF
the action of the executive boards of dis
tricts Nos. l. and 9. in calling conven-
ton and agreeing to recommend unani-
mously the resumption Of work and the
submission of the differences between the
operators and mine workers OF the anthra-
cite coal fields to the commission. The re-
ply expresses confidence that the conven-
ton will agree to the arbitration of the
eminent and impartial men chosen by the
President, and expresses gratitude to the
President for his patriotic efforts to bring
about an honorable settlement of the strike.
The reply goes at length into the griev-
ances of the miners. and concludes with
expression of the hope and belief that
from this arbitration will come "a COM
plete, satisfactory and permanent settle
ment Of the troubles which have vexed the
anthracite fields from time immemor-
able"
Yesterday the President wired Mr.. Mitch

ANOTHER COMBINATION.
1t Will Control the Storage Battery
Business Here and Abroad.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-It has just been
learned. says the Herald, that another in
ternational combination has been formed
in the storage battery business, which
practically controls the patents and manu-
facture of storage batteries in this country,
England and on the continent The deal
was accomplished, it is said, by New York
financiers who visited London recently to
settle the tobacco war. 1t accom-
plished by the purchase of the English
company controlling the manufacture of
storage batteries, well the ownership
OF certain patents which hold good not only
in the British isles but I'm the leading coun-
tries of Europe. 1t is said to be the inten-
tion of the new interests to begin a process
OF development work abroad which will go
hand in hand with the manufacture or elec-
trical machinery. In England, in particu-
lar, and in Germany, there is believed to be
a great field for development work in the
storage battery. The machinery end of the
enterprise will be looked after by a Massa-
chusetts electrical manufacturing COM
pany.

WARSAW, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE largest
crowd which mas assembled here during
the present campaign greeted Secretary Of
the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw tonight.
The crowd was enthusiastic and applause
was frequent Secretary Shaw touched on
all the issues of the campaign, beginning
with a discussion of the tariff question and
ending with an eloquent protest against
the attacks made on the American soldier
in the Philippines by the Democratic lead
ers in the United States. He declared that
the Democratic party is expending its en-
ergies in seeking an issue on which to win
the campaign rather than in formulating
wise policies to be carried out after the
campaign is won.
He declared that 1t was impossible to
abolish the trusts, but asserted that the
only efforts which had been made to con-
troll them had been made by the Repub-
lican party. 1.-The first law enacted to gov
ern the trusts" he said, twas passed by a
Republican Congress and was signed by
that heroic man and brilliant statesman,
Benjamin Harrison. The bravest and most
determined effort to enforce this law is
being made by our present executive. Theo-
dore Roosevelt.

as an example the steel trust, which, he
said, manufactured less than one-half OF
the whole output of steel rails and similar
articles.
Mr.. Shaw spoke at length on the subject
of imperialism. He cited the fact that
at the close of the Spanish-American war
the Democrats, in their various State con-
ventions, declared in favor of retaining our
foreign possessions, and recalled the fact
that William Jennings Bryan worked by
tI4 So XfN1A -
ratification of the treaty by which the
Philippines were ceded to the United
States. Il do not know what should ulti-
mately be done with the Philippines" he
said, "but for the present it is our duty
to protect them, and later we can decide
whether we will adopt them into the
American family or start them out for
themselves"
He deprecated the abuse which is being
heaped on the brave soldiers in the Philip
pines just for the sake of winning a cam
paign. Secretary Shaw will leave to-mor-
row morning for Detroit, where he is to
speak tomorrow night.
