The collapse of the strike was pri
marily due to the stringent measures
taken by Premier BRAND, who called
to the colors the majority of the strik
ers, thus compelling them to do serv
ice as reservists. The premier also
placed under arrest many Of the
strike leaders and used the military
forces without restraint for the pro
lection of life and property. After
having broken the back of the strike
M. BRAND successfully arranged q
practical settlement whereby the
chief demands Of the men were met
A serious situation arose through
the throwing of bombs and attempts
at train wrecking, responsibility fol
which the strikers denied.
According to the police these out
RACES were planned by anarchists and
fighting revolutionists who hoped te
take advantage of the strike agitation
to ~terrorize the people.
The press in France, with the ex
ception of certain revolutionary or
CARNATIONS, were opposed to the
strike and supported Premier Briand

New York Democrats.

Rochester, n. Y, Sept. 30.-ThC
fight for control OF New York state
is to be fought out on national issues.
The high cost of living, and the opera
ton of the tariff bill will be the real
issue raised by the democrats to defeat
Theodore Roosevelt's nominee, former
District Attorney Stimson.
This was absolutely decided on at
conference early today OF the various
democratic leaders. Because OF this
fact the big party leaders spent con
siderable time framing the tariff plank
and it was agreed that it should be
radical in tone, but also that 1t
should discuss at great length the tariff
question. The message OF Grover
Cleveland, written in 1881, in which he
insisted thata tariff for revenue only, y
was the salvation Of the country, was
agreed on by the platform committee.
1t was later decided to delay nomi-
nations until O'Clock tonight, il lead
ers can make up their minds by that
time. II not, the convention will go
over into tomorrow.
Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 3O.-Find-
ing the leaders unable to agree upon
candidates to nominate for the state
officers, Charles II. Murphy sent word
to convention hall at 100 to call the
democratic convention TO order at 2:l5.
He told Judge Parker to have the
permanent organization perfected, and
then adjourned the convention until s
O'Clock tonight.
The convention was called TO order
at 2:26 p. M, when Herbert P. Bissell,
permanent chairman, took the plat
form and attacked republican extrava'
gance, and charged the tariff with the
high cost Of living.

ALLECED ELECTION FRAUDS.
Developments Of an interesting n

Developments OF an interesting ma
ture came out of yesterdays investiga-
ton in Norfolk. Aside from the hearing
of Mr.. Maynard's short answer in the
democratic congressional inquiry, the
day was given over to the hearing OF
testimony on the charges by citizens
counsel and by Mr. Maynard.
J. Martin Davis testified that when
one OF the judges OF election in Ports
mouth told John L. Watson, CAPT
talist and one OF the bsst-known citizens
OF that city, that George A. Tabb,
former city treasurer, was out OF town
Watson remarked he would put in
ballot for Tabb and then put bal
lot in the box. Watson, he says. sug-
gested to the witness that he put in one
for L. Mex. Jacks, who was also out OF
town. That Davis refused to do, but
according to Davis, Watson again urged
him to do so, saying that he would
count !, ZOO like that in Norfolk.
Watson took the witness stand by
privilege. He denied that he had
voted anyone except himself and stated
that he was merely joking with Davis.
Jacks appears to have been voted at
the election, but Tabb does not.
Numerous witnesses were produced
during the day to prove that they had
not voted as recorded. Many we're not
at home on election day, and there was
testimony to show that others who are
recorded as voting we're absent, The
usual quota Of dead ones was also pro-
duced as having voted.
Two ministers OF Portsmouth, Dr.
r. B. Garrett and Rev. r. M. Maxey,
we're recorded as having voted. Both
OF them testified that they had not.
DIR. Garrett stated that he knew also
that Rev. d. X. Harris, recorded as
voting, could not have done so, as he
no longer lives in Portsmouth, and was
not there election day.
Another sensation was sprung when
counsel called for Young, the holder
OF the certificate OF nomination for
Congress, TO take the witness stand,
and then for Maynard, who is contest
ing Young's nomination. Young was
present but. through counsel, stated
that it was not for the contestce TO take
the stand before the contestant Citi-
zens' counsel conceded the point and
called for Maynard. Maynard was not
present. Both candidates will be called
again today.
Counsel desired to quiz both men as
to what moneys they had spent in the
congressional campaign, neither OF
them having yet filed statements giving
them as required by law. They are
nov apparently subject to fine for not
having done so. The law limits the
spending OF money in Virginia cleo
