PLEASED WITH PROSPECT
Fir. Davis Finishes Criss.Crossing
 West Virginia.

Wayne, w. Va, Oct. 19-Henry G.
 Davis ended his whirlwind campaign
 through West Virginia at Wayne to-
 night. Just how he regards the expe- dition may be gleaned from his refer ence to it in addressing his audience here. He said: We are now conclud- ing a trip of 1900 miles, which has oc-
 cupied ten days. We have crossed the state. 300 miles east and west. three times, and once north and south. visit ing seventy-eight cities and towns. At night, at large places, we have had two separate meetings. The number of people in attendance at all the meet ings is estimated at 100000. We have gone through more than half the coun- ties in the state, containing about three-fourths of its population. We have been received everywhere with the most respectful attention and in most places with much enthusiasm. Wherever we had an opportunity to confer with the local party leaders we have heard of number of republicans who have announced their intention to vote the democratic ticket There is no dissatisfaction anywhere, so far as we have learned. among democrats, and all of those who supported McKin- ley are now in line again. We believe there will be less fraud at the ballot box than heretofore, as people seem determined to have a fair election. The general belief among the party leaders is that the state will go demo- cratic"
 The candidate will go to Kenova to- night, where his car will be transferred l

NEW NEVADA GOLD CAMPS
Make Necessary Improvements on a
 Southern Pacific Line.

Reno, New, Oct 19.-It is unoficiaIly stated that the Carson and Colorado railway, extending 300 miles from the Mound House, New, to KeeIer, Cal. and owned by the Southern Pacific. is to be converted into a standard gauge road, with first class passenger and freight rolling stock. The material has already been ordered, and active work IS to begin at once. The under taking will involve the expenditure of several million dollars, as the line traverses the greatest mineral belt of Nevada. the wonderful development of which makes the change imperative
 The movement has been under con sideration for several months. and a few trips of inspection have been made over the line by general officials of the company located at San Francisco. When interviewed this morning in this city General Manager Alger declined to discuss the matter, saying that the development of the country might re- quire great changes on the part of the company but he refused to say what these changes might be.

by bad weather, if Japanese offensive had really exhausted itself, gives both armies a chance to breathe and pull themselves together and would seem to ensure as much benefit to one side as the other for practical -pur poses. When operations commence they will assume an entirely new phase, with new dispositions and objectives. Prac- tically last weeks battle has ended and It goes into history as a Russian de- feat When Operetions are resumed new battle will begin. The appear ance of Viceroy Alexdeff at -Mul1den today for a conference is not particu- laIiy reaSsuring, as sUch conferences in the past have not been fruitful of success.
 The movement of troops on the Rus sian western frontier and preparations 10 further reduce the garrisons in this region revive talk of a complete un- derstanding with Germany. under which the frontier will be puOtected so as. to permit of the dispatch to Man churia of the troops stationed in Pc land There are about 60O,O0 soldiers Tn Poland, comprising :ome of the best troops in the empire. It is already known that practically all of the corps Of the Wilma government will be incIud- NNt III N44eAL AS hIlOWn as huSSlaS $ Illrl line of defenses but that fact has not alt tracted murh atteTtion- It now de- Velops that a rifle brigade at Piotsk. In the government of Tschenstoeh directly on the frontier. is mobilizing.
 In the best informed diplomatic cir cies, it is believed that nothing in the shape of a treaty between Russia and Germany has been committed to writ Ing but that there is simply a mutual personal Understanding between two SoVereiSns covering this point, and. some believe it is going much further. So far as the present war is. concern cd, there is no evidence that the sup- posed agreement covers active aid. as such an agreement would render ooer- atiVe the anglo-Japanese alliance. IL IS thought however, in diplomat tic quarters that there is something in the nature of a pledge on the part of the emperor of Germany to protect Rus sia's western frontier.
 It is now recalled, as significant of the deep personal friendship of tv,. emperors, that when Emperor William was about to undergo an operation last year he commended his eldest son 10 the hands Of Emperor Nicholas. This fact was mentioned at the time in the Official Messenger, but did not attract as much attention as it is now re- cefving.

ENeLlen CRITICISM.
Estimate of the Russian Victory at
 Lone Tree Hill.

London, Oct. 19.-English newspa- pers and military critics find it diff cuit to apporUion the exact strategic significance attaching to General Ku- ropatkin's action on the ShaIzhe river. It is supposed his success here was due % having kept three divisions of
 roops in reserve and it is admitted that the attack on Lone Tree hill may have been an intentional counter stroke after drawing out the Japanese from a strong position. The balance of opinion however. favOrs the idea that it was a desperate endeavor to cover the retreat of his forces from the Ben sihu district, and that the battle of Shakhe may be considered to have end ed in victory, but not a decisive one. for the Japanese, who were too ex- hausted to follow up their success.
 According to the Standards cor respondent with General Kuroki, who telegraDhs under the date of October lS' the Russian battalion which cross ed the Tattse river has been almost annTHated. While retiring over @ pontoon bridge, the correspondent. says the battalion was overtaken by a re- igment of Japanese cavalry. which got it's machine guns into position and swept the bridge from end to end.

ture.

from the Northern Securities suit
even the presidents most bitter Op-
ponents cannot point to another ex-
ample of what they have liked to call
mis- reckless impetuousness and his
penchant for getting the country into

Guides:
Those persons who imagine that
Mr. Roosevelt is not pretty good poll
ticion on his own account may soon
have occasion to revise their judgment.
1t requires genius of high order to
carry on little crusade against Wall
street, and though it gain immense
popularity with the masses of the peo-
pie as the foe of the trusts. and then
to turn round and gain the approval
and possibly the help of a considerable
share of Wall street itself. There APP
pears to be every reason to believe
that when the proper moment arrives
the friends and political managers of
the president will have little difficulty
in raising a campaign fund of sufficient
to carry on the party af-
fairs. and that some of the biggest
fnanciers in Wall street will be con
tributors thereto"

country is. when rightly regarded of

STRIKE ON AMONG
REGALIA WORKERS
Twenty-Five Employees of Ameri-

CLAIM VIOLATION CONTRACT
Non-Union Girls Have Been Employed
Statement of GrieV-
ances.

Saturday there was a strike at the
shop of the American Regalia COM
pany, formerly the Tri-City Regalia
on Third avenue. Twenty young
women and two men, members of the
Regalia and Badge Workers union No,
11159 left their work.
This morning a communication was
handed The Argus. in which the union
sets forth the reasons for the present
strike. The employees allege that the
firm violated a contract entered into
with the union, and has refused them
the wages set forth in the contract.
In the communication it is stated
that the employees formed a union. in
July, 1908, at the instigation of tho
employers. The action resulted in
betterment of trade, and a contract
was entered into between the work
ers and the regalia company. provid
ing that the price for coatmaking was
to be % cents. and for the pants max
ing was to be 20 cents. The former
prices were Is and 1213 cents.

included a provision that this order
might be placed on time work. instead
of piece work. The company had fin.

them on time work. instead of piece
work. This was after Labor day, and
after working a week on the big order,
the manager announced that they
would again resume the piece work
scale, but that the wages should he

The political campaign throughout
Wisconsin is being wound up today
with experimenting by adherents of
all parties interested. La Toilette re-
publiCans and democrats are both con

The republicans are practically sure
of electing six congressman. and the
democrats one, with the four others in
doubt. The opinion is general that the
Legislature. which will elect United
States senator. will be deadlock.
Both Sure of Indiana.
Indiana republican managers are
confidently claiming the state by 10000

Great Confidence I'm New York.
In New York both parties have en-
tered upon the last day of the cam

in the success of their respective can
didates. Members of the democratic

early today. Vice Chairman Nicon OK

fore been given that the democrats
would have a sufficient number of
electoral votes 10 elect Parker.
Gov. Odell, chairman Of the rcpubli-
can central committee. prior to leav-
ing for home, expressed absolute con
ffdence that the republicans will carry
New York state. Asked as to how far
Higgins would run behind Roosevelt,
he said 10000 or 10000. lie said the
democrats will have to carry Greater
New York by more than 10000 in or
der to win.
