MILLENNIUM ARRIVES.
President Baer Opposed to Increase
In Price Of Coal.


New York, August 28.--There will
be no higher retail prices for coal to
the people of Philadelphia, if George
f. Baer, president Of the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad company, has any
say in the case, and he thinks he will.
Mr.. Baer returned from Europe to-
day. on the Amerika, accompanied by
Mrs. Baer, his daughter and son-in-
law. He was greatly surprised At
hearing the report that many OF tke
coal dealers are agitating the raising
of the retail price to 81 ton, and said
quickly:
"Such an increase in price would
not be to the advantage of the deal
ers, the miners. the operators or any
one else, and cannot see that 1t is
called for. Our company kept the
price Of coal down during the strike,
and there is no reason for an increase
now that coal is plentiful. The record
of our company is steadfastly against
putting any unnecessary burden upon
the consumer, and should an effort
be made TO increase the price Of coal,
as rumored, II would be one Of the
first questions taken up by our direc-
tors

Jerome Talks Back.

New York, Aug. 2S.-In reply to
the remarks of w. r. Hearst, Dis
trict Attorney William Travers Je-
rome tonight gave ont statement
in which he said in part;
"The situation shows the need of
a fight, because the the mechanism of
the party has fallen into the hands
of men whom nobody can trust and
with whom decent men can not deal
on common ground" I"
Referring to the statement of Mr..
Hearst, who said he would only run
as a nominee of the Independent
league, Jerome said.
81 don't exactly understand what
Hearst means by that. He does not
tell us whether the Independent lea
que aims to become a state party or
whether it is only movement in the
democratic party to pacify that
party.
"It can hardly be the latter when
Hearst says that he cannot go to see
Bryan as a candidate of the league,
because the league is composed of
democrats and republicans and that
he could see Bryan only in his per-
sonal capacity. The logic of that to
my mind is that the league aims to
become an Independent state party.
If that is true, how can the demo-
cratic delegates who are pledged to
vote for Hearst at the Buffalo con-
vention, cast their votes for a candi-
date of that other party"
Asked if he was going to make
any fight for the control at the com

WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR ON
INDEPENDENT TICKET ONLY
new YORK ROW BETTER
Three Democratic Leaders in Gotham
Fight Each Other Ferociously.
Worse Than the Tulsa Mix-up.

New York, Aug. 2S-Wiliam Ran
dolph Hearst said today in the course
of an interview that he will not be
a candidate for governor at the next
election on the democratic ticket.
Hearst was asked: "Woud you
accept the nomination of the demo-
Gratis for governor?" Hearst re-
Piled: "No, l shall run only as the
nominee of the Independent eague.
| have said that before, and | wish
to emphasize it. OF course | should
be glad of all the democratic votes
| could get. The fact that | was an
Independent league candidate would
not prevent me from accepting the
support of those democrats who wish
to support and vote for me. f"
"'What do you think of the condid-
acy of Jerome for the Office of gov
ernor of New York;" was asked.
"I think Jerome is doing what he
is told by the interests which contrib
uted to his last campaign fund, and
to which he is under obligations"
was the reply.
"Do you think it possible that
Jerome will be nominated for COVER
nor by the edmocrats?"
"If Ryan and Bemont control the
convention, ! consider il not only pos
sible but probable that Jerome will
be the democratic nominee"
Hearst was then asked concerning
the statements of c. +. Musphy the
leader of Tammany hall, to the ef-
fdct that Murphy was supporting
him.
81 do not believe that Murphy is
supporting me now," said Hearst,
nor do believe that he would sup
port me at a critical point. 1t has
amused me greatly when such men
as Murphy, McCarren and Sullivan
have come out as my supporters.
They have not meant what they said.
There have been many stories as to
my alleged affiliations with Murphy,
but I have denied them publicly.
"Thc object of these bosses in
saying that they were supporting me
has been. | believe, to affect the pri-
mary voting and confuse men who are
really for me. The primary princi-
pie of the Independent league, Of
which | am a member, is the destruc-
tion of bosses and bossism, but /
cannot see how such men as Muir
ply can really be out for my support.
II is also true that when a man goes
after the scalp of another, he does
not often get the support OF the pur-
sued"
"Is there any truth in the report,
Mr.. Hearst, that there is GOODNESS
between you and Bryan because Of
the fact, that you may be presiden-
tial candidates in 190Sf"
Hearst laughed. "Not the slight
est TRUTH" he said. "The secret Of
my attitude toward the Bryan recep-
tion can be explained very simply
continued Hearst. 81 am a mem
ber of the Independent league, that
represents both democrats and re-
pubicans. decided that officially
should take no part in this Bryan
matter. | felt that it might not be
