creased, It Is Now Announced.
Chicago, Sept. 3.-Plans to end the
telegraph strike were announced at
a recent meeting Of the telegraphers'
union. A committee of As delegates
from all sections of the country will
meet in New York September 9 to be
in readiness If the companies evince
willingness to settle. 1t was also an
nounced at the meeting that the
operators had Increased their de-
mands from Is per cent increase in
wages to rs per cent.
There is little change in the tele-
graph situation in New York City.
Both sides continue firm, and profess
complete satisfaction with the prog
ress of the strike. The strikers claim
a few accessions to their ranks from
the nonunionists, while the telegraph
companies say a small number Of old
men have returned to them, and that
all the business of the day is being
handled. The contest seems to have
settled down to one of endurance.

SWEDISH PRINCE CAN ONLY GASP
Amazed by the Crowd at coney, and
Likes II.

New York.-Prince Wilhelm OF Swe-
den says he is no different from any
ordinary country individual who comes
to the metropolis to see the sights.
He liked Coney island SO well on his
visit that he paid a return visit. On
his visit earlier in the week the prince
was assured that a Saturday night
crowd would far exceed the fhrong he
then saw. Wilhelm was skeptical. but
he learned his error tonight. He was
fairly carried of his feet by the enor-
nous crowd.
He did not mind the throngs regard
ing him as the show. The prince, how
ever, had to hurry back to keep late
dinner engagement. His highness
spent another busy day. He visited
the North German Lloyd lines, Hobo
ken docks, and went through the giant
liner Kaiser Wilhelm II. Then he au-
tomobiled along the Jersey shore to
Fort Lee, lunched at the Claremont
as a guest Of the Swedish consul. and
visited Grants tomb, where he left a
magnificent wreath. Later he visited
tho Swedish orphan asylum in Brook
lyn. He had only words Of praise for
everything. The skyscrapers. women.
American warships, Coney island, rail-
roads, entertainments, all came In for

Roosevelt and Bryan Are the Leaders

in Their Respective Camps.
1t is a well settled fact that 1908
will be bad year for the reaction
aries in either party. 1t is undeniable
that this element is striving to COM
pei the republican party in its next
platform to recede from the advanced
position which has been occupied by
President Roosevelt. Democrats Of
the same stripe are anxious to over
turn the policies Of Mr.. Bryan, and
it seems to be a foregone conclusion
that both attempts will fail.
The democrats of the nation, &C.
cording to discerning men at Wash
ington, are not in sympathy with those
who would control the party as it
be as easy to renominate Alton b.
Parker almost as to nominate any
democratic candidate who would be
suspected Of recession from the Bryan
program. Hence 1t will be necessary
only for the radicals of the party to
say. for instance, Roger Sullivan Of
Illinois supports this man; August
Belmont or Thomas Ryan of New
York support that man. to defeat
other candidates for the presidential
nomination.
Mr.. Bryan is master of the demo-
cratic situation. purely by force of his
championship of the interest of the
masses. The same causes operate to
make Mr.. Roosevelt the controller of
republican destines. The people sus.
pect any man who antagonizes him,
and so far as present indications 60,
it will be necessary only for him to
evince his pleasure to defeat candi-
date not to his liking.
Vice President Fairbanks boom is
a dead one; Joe Cannon cannot knock
the persimmons. The unknown guam
titles in the republican party are La
Toilette Of Wisconsin and Hughes Of
New York. Foraker is forgotten
quantity. and Taft. although backed
by the president, has a divided state
back of him. Mr.. Roosevelt can have
the nomination for the asking. When
the process of elimination has been
carried to its logical conclusion, two
men remain-President Roosevelt and
William J. Bryan, and these men hold
within their hands the power to die
tate results.
Back of all anti-conveitno specula-
ton, however, is the crushing fact
that the cost of living is advancing,
and that will be the dominating, ele-
ment in determining results in 1908.
As though prices were not already
high enough. the country Is now told
that the enforcement Of the prue food
law will still further advance prices,
and there is nothing in sight to afford
relief except the indefinable hope that
the radicals or one or other OF the
two great parties will inaugurate
measures to crush out the trusts.
