IN the past month the regular
boiling faction of the Republican
party, has given evidence Of its
weakness and approaching dissolu-
ton. The proposition made to
them by the Union Republicans for
a common primary settlement of
their troubles, was refused-as was
to be expected. The next move
came from the Regulars in prop
osition to elect two Senators-they
selecting ten names from Kent and
Sussex, and the Unions ten from
New Castle county, from which
lists an election should be made;
which is the identical proposition
they made about one year ago, and
which was promptly refused by
Union Republicans. At meeting
held last Monday in Wilmington
the last and final proposition from
Union Republicans was made. They
propose to go into common primar
les on the old apportionment of Is
for New Castle, AZ for Sussex, anC
40 for Kent county, and pledge
themselves to abide by the result
An answer is required by May frs
to this last; but it is fair to pre-
sumo that it will be refused. Tn
solution of the trouble is all in tn
hands of one man, and that man

dations of the Regulars" organi
cation are tottering, and we predic

Mr.. Ryan Explains the Agree

British Interests.

New Ork, Oct. Am authorized state
ment regarding the agreement between
the American and British Tobacco Com
panies was made known today by Thos.
F. Ryan, who returned on Tuesday from
London. Mr.. Ryan said that the state
ments made in several of the papers on
the morning after his arrival, purport-
ing to quote his Interpretation of the
agreement in London were inaccurate
and in some instances misleading. AS
to the conditions under which the new
agreement was formed he said today:
1.-THE agreement made between the rep
resentatives of the Imperial Tobacco
Company. of England on the one hand
and the Consolidated Tobacco Company
on the other, was mutual in its charac-
ter, but entirely satisfactory to both
sides. 1t was accomplished by friendly
conference after full consideration of the
interests of all parties affected. The
agreement was of an international char
acter which has not belonged, | think to
any previous trade arrangement. 1t
means the reunion of the representatives
of an important business in Great Brit
ain and America for the purpose of seek
ing trade hand in hand throughout the
world. My visit to London grew out of

The mining town of plymouth, which
has been free from any disturbance since
the strike began, was the scene of much
disorder today. Mobs surrounded the
Sterling and North American washeries
and Sheriff Jacobs being unable to dis
perse them, summoned the military.
Colonel Dougherty sent three companies
of the Ninth regiment to the scene and
they arrested eleven men charged with
rioting. They were brought before Mag
istrate Pollock of this city, who, after a
hearing, held them in 81 900 bail each for
trial at court

washeries tonight. They are expected

The washery of the Hollenbeck mine
started up work this afternoon. This
was a surprise to the strikers. Despite
the conference called to meet at Wash

Valley are very aggressive.

This was the only statement that could
be obtained at the White House today
regarding the conference, which will be
held tomorrow on the coal situation.
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania was in
conference with the President an hour to-
day, and it is understood he came at the
request of the President to discuss the
situation. The President and Senator
were not interrupted. and two Cabinet
officers who called did not see the Presi-
dent while the conference was in prog
ress. Senator Quay, after he left the
President, would not discuss the situa-
tion or express an opinion as to the
probable effect of the coming conference
During the day Secretary Root, At
torney General Knox and Secretary Shaw
were in conference with the President.
Secretary Wilson was at the White House
for short time, but the first three re-
manned with the President for nearly an
dent discussed the subject of the confer
ence tomorrow the abinet officers making
a number of suggestions as to what the
President should say to those who will
participate in it.
1t has been decided that Attorney Gen
eral Knox shall attend the conference to-
morrow between the President the coal
operators and Mr.. Mitchell of the Miners
Union He will be the only member of
the Cabinet who will be present. Car
roll d. Wright, Commissioner of Labor,
who recently made an investigation of
the strike situation, also will attend upon
the invitation of the President
While every one connected with the ad-
ministration is extremely reticent con-
cerning the coming conference there is
feeling of hope among those close to
the President that 1t is going to result
in settlement of the strike This is
based upon the acuteness of the situa-
tion and the necessity that exists for
settlement. The determination of the
President to bring about a settlement, if
possible, is largely responsible for the
confidence which is felt in the outcome.
