MIR. PosEY MAKING SPEECHES.


Frank B. Posey, of Evansville. was
here last night on his way 10 Decatur.
Adams county, where he will speak to-
night Tuesday Mr.. Posey spoke at New
tonville, Spencer county. He had not been
in that locality for twenty years, but the
people remembered him and received him
warmly. Mr.. Posey has been campaigning
for twenty years II find that old men are
taking a very active interest in politics
this year." he said last night Il think
IL is perhaps due to the attacks the Democ-
racy has been making on our army in the
Philippines. The old men feel that they
ought TO stand up for the soldiers ana tney
are doing so by taking an active interest
in Republican politics.
"The Republicans this year know trey
are right on every argument. On the
trust question they are all agreed on the
proposition that trusts should be regulated
and that Congress should do IL.
Mr.. Posey still insists that James A
Hemenway will win in the First district:
II met Mr.. Hemenway a few days ago.
ne said, ''and he had just returned from
Posey county. He felt much encouraged
over what he learned there" To illustrate
how q great many Democrats feel politi-
cally Mr.. Posey related an incident that
took place in his office few days ago.
"I have a legal friend in Kentucky" he
said, "who is a great Democrat He came
into my office the other day and we got
to talking politics. After informing me
that there was not much politics in Ken
lucky this year, he remarked: To tell
you frankly, IL the Democrats OF Ken
lucky could be allowed to run our little
local affairs we would rather the Repub-
licans void run the national government
And that is the way lot of Democrats
look at it," Mr.. Posey added.

NO SETTLEMENT In SIGHT
DEADLOCK CONTINUES IN NEW Or
LEANS TRACTION STRIKE.
Efforts of the Mayor-Testimony in
Union Pacific Strike Case-Enect
of q Strike in Lebanon, Pa.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-When the New
Orleans Railway Company this morning
summarily broke off further negotiations
looking to a settlement of the street-car
strike it looked as if it would be a fight
to a finish. Mayor Capdevielle did not
give up hope. however, and to-day had a
conference with the carmen's executive
committee in which they expressed will
ingness to reopen negotiations through the
mayor and stated they were willing to SUBJ
nit the alleged violations of the contract
Of last April to a conference between the
carmen and the railway officials, and in
the event they could not agree that an
sides. This question is tonight the SUBJ
ject of a conference between the mayor
and the railway officials.
The general situation shows no material
change. The company has not yet made
any effort to run passenger cars. If there
is no settlement tonight 1t is understood
that an effort will be made tomorrow.
The company has prepared call for sew
what turn the negotiations take, nine mail
cars will be sent out, protected by police
men.
President Pearson, of the railway COM
pany arrived from New York this MORN
ing and Immediately went into consulta-
tion with the other officials of the COM
pany. Mr.. Pearson declined to say any,
thing about the strike beyond expressing
his approval of everything done by the
other officials in his absence. Mayor Cap
devielle tonight said that he had good
reason to hope for an adjustment of the
differences
The railway company has sent to all the
newspapers an advertisement offering 81 900
reward for the arrest and conviction of any
person or persons for cutting their trolley
wires.
The negotiations brought about by the
mayor for temporary settlement OF the
car strike again have fallen through The
railway officials late tonight expressed
their willingness TO accept the proposition
advanced by the mayor on condition that
the men resume work in the morning. The
carmens committee. however, would not
consider such a proposition. They insist
on taking up the new agreement as well as
the old. Efforts are still being made at
midnight to secure peace.

perhaps an agreement between the princi-
pals TO have further meetings and perhaps
TO refer open issues between them to third
persons.
1t is stated positively that the President
had no assurances from either side TO
form the basis OF his call for this meeting.
But when Secretary Root was in New York
yesterday and the night preceding, he saw
one at least OF the coal presidents whose
name appears in to-day's list of invitations.
IL is stated that the meeting was casual
one, but no statement could be extracted
forces that are operating in this strike who
might have been seen by the war secretary
in his peace mission. Other great financial
forces than Mr.. Morgan, competent to ex-
ercise a tremendously powerful but secret
pressure on corporations, exist in New York
and 1t is surmised that with some of these
the secretary, not unacquainted in bust
ness way in that circle, may have mad in
terviews during his visit.
President Roosevelt's proposition for
gathering here on Friday of representatives
of the coal companies and coal operators
and the miners met prompt response from
a number of the men to whom invitations
were sent During the day the President
received replies to his invitations from
President John Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers; President George F. Baer,
of the Reading Railway system. and one
or two others. Mr.. Baer's prompt reply
to the Presidents suggestion was partic-
ularly gratifying to Mr.. Roosevelt. ii
was believed that In all probability his
acceptance will insure favorable replies
from other officials who were invited. Mr..
Baer has acted as the spokesman for the
operators in the various statements that
have been put forth from time to time in
reply to the miners representations, and
Ii is realized that his influence will be
potent factor in any conferences that may
take place. The President is expressing
the keenest interest in the coming gather
ing. and expresses the sincere hope that
1t will result in steps that will bring about
the cessation of the strike.
President Il. j. Cassatt, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, is among those asked to
join in Fridays conference. The Presi-
dent has the greatest respect for Mr.. Cas-
salts well-known business ability and
good judgment, and is anxious that he
should give the conference the benefit Of
his opinions. No reply has been received
from him tonight. though it is not doubt
ed he will attend.

Is Rapidly Growing.

Representative Payne, of New York,
Will Speak In Indiana-Other
Political News.

The miners Of our district idolize Mark
Hanna and If he should come down into
Sullivan and Greene counties this cam
paign / believe they would carry the sena-
tor around on their shoulders" This dec
laration was made by Thomas H. Adams,
postmaster at Vincennes and publisher of
the Commercial at that place. Mr. Adams
was in town yesterday and incidentally
dropped in at Republican state committee
headquarters to have a little chat with
Chairman Goodrich.
Mr.. Adams says the miners of southern
Indiana think a great deal of Senator
Hanna, and he thinks the committee should
have the senator go down that way when
he comes to campaign in Indiana. ..Some
day the Republicans of Indiana will wake
up and find that the Second district has
gone Republican" continued Mr. Adams
land no one will know how it happened. In
my opinion the district is rapidly becoming
a Republican district. / believe we have
the best chance of electing our candidate
for Congress we have ever had John c.
CLANCY, our candidate is making a gal
liant fight in the district. One of the reasons
We feel that we are soon to become Re-
publican district is because SO many
changes are taking place down there Farm
land is changing ownership so fast that the
local newspapers can't keep track of the
changes. 1t is safe to say that 0,0O0 acres
have changed hands in the district this
summer. 1 should estimate that 90 900 acres
have changed hands in Knox county alone
in the last year. Eastern people are COM
ing into the district. The opening of large
coal mines and coke ovens in Sullivan
county is. of course. having an effect on the
prosperity of the district. John r. Walsh
is building railroads down there and ali
this means progress and Republcanism
Vincennes is the coming glass manufacture
ing city of the West. We have the railroa d
facilities, the water and the coal, and there
is glass sand near by in sufficient quantities

Men have made great deal of money in
the last two years in Greene and Sullivan n
counties. / should say that I'm these two
counties fifty coal mines have been opened

Mr.. Adams says that Senator Fairbanks

row. is very popular with the aboring peo-
pie of the district and he will probably be
accorded a generous reception.
