Bryans Second
Day in New York.
Journeys Haif Across the
State From East to West.
Syracuse, N Y , Oct 18 -Wi!
liam J. Bryan continued his tour of
the Empire State today, traveling
half way across it from east to west
He began his joarney at Albany and,
following the coorse cf ihe pictu?
resque Mohawk and the line of the
Erie canal,he reached this point late in
the afternoon. From here be made
a run northward to the southern
shore of Lake Ontario and made a
speech of half au hour's duration at
08wego. Returning to this city
later, he spoke here tonight
The attendance at the majority of
the meetings was complimentary in
8ize, and some of the audiences were
large Ic comparatively few piaces
was there marked enthusiasm There
was. however, close attention in
every instance, and in no case was
there any interruption worthy of
note. The Oswego meeting was the
best attended and in other respects
the most notable of the day.
At almost half his stopping places
today Mr. Bryan was confronted by
. large and conspicuously posted bills
warning the people against him.
These bills announced in large, red
letters, "Bryan is here," and then
gave extracts from bis speec hes made
at Knoxville, Tenn , in 1896, and at
Zanesviile, Ohio, last September, and
then adding:
"This means national dishonor and
industrial collapse. A vote for
Bryan is a vote for low wages or no
wages, bread riots, soup houses and
hard times M
Mr. Bryan spoke from a balcony in
front of Stanwix hall io Rome Imme?
diately io front of bim were suspend
ed large portraits of the Democratic
nominees ou the national ticket,
while ooly a few steps away the por?
traits of McKinley and Roosevelt
also swung across the street. His
audience at this place was large and
attentive, and the speech was punc?
tuated with frequent bursts of ap?
plause
Expressing his pleasure at being
in Rome, Mr Bryan said that the
large attendance could not be ac?
counted for upon the ground of
curiosity, because he bad been in this
city before, aod the people then bad
had an opportunity to see and bear
bim. He accused the Republicans of
avoidance of the real issues of the
campaign, and asked :
"Do they not insult the intelligence
of American citizens when they ask
their votes and yet decline to outline
what they are going to do ? Read
the platform of our party, compare
it with the platform of the Republi?
can party and you will find the differ
ence is tbat the Democratic position
is stated with a clearness that admits
of no ambiguity, while the Republi?
can party states its position in glit?
tering generalities and spends more
time bragging about the rain that the ?
Lord bas seot than in telling of the 1
imperial reign that the Republican
party intends to bring upon this
Country. !

THE COAL MINERS
WIN GREAT STRIKE.
Operators Accept all Condi?
tions of Miners-A Great
Victory For Labor.
Philadelphia, Oct IT -The great
strike of the anthracite miue workers
of Pennsylvania, which began Sept.
17, practically ended today when the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company, and the Lehigh Valley
Coai company agreed to abolish the
sliding scale in their respective
regions and to grant an advance in
wages of 10 per cent, net, the ad?
vance to remain in operation until
April 1, 1901, or thereafter. This
action meets the demands of the
Scranton miners' convention The
decision was arrived at after a con?
ference between representatives of
the individual coal operators and the
large coal carrying companies The
conference began yesterday.
Today's action was the culmina
tion of the recent meeting of the in?
dividual operators at Scrantou, follow
lng the mine workers' convention in
the same city. Nearly all of the
collieries* in the coal region had,
previous to the mine workers' con?
vention, posted notices granting an
advance of 10 per cent. The mine
workers in considering this demand?
ed that the sliding scale in the Lehigh
and Schuylkill districts be abolished,
the iDcreese to be guaranteed until
April 1, 1901, and all other differ
enees be submitted to arbitration
The individual operators agreed
to everything and the appointment of
a committee to induce the Readiog
and the Lehigh companies to abolish
the sliding scale and make the wage
increase permanent followed It is
conceded that the result of today's
conference is a complete victory for
the men. Ail the demands of their
convention are acceded to and as one
of the individual operators put it
after the conference, the operators go
a little further io agreeing to main?
tain the wage advance after April
1 This same operator, who required
that bis name be not used, said in
speaking of the conference :
"Its all up to the miners now. We
have agreed to everything and noth?
ing remains new but for them to
return to work as soon as the notices
are posted by the colliery managers
These notices will be practically
similar to the Reading company's
notice, the phraseology only being
changed. I look for a resumption of
operations by Monday at the latest.
The conference was entirely harmoni
ons and every phrase of the strike
situation was gone over."
The Reading company's notice
reads :
"It hereby withdraws the cotice
posted Oct 3, 1900, and, to bring
about practical uniformity in the
advance of wages in the several coal
regions, gives notice that it will '
suspend the operatiou of the slicing
scale, will pay 10 per cent advance
?n September wages till Aprii 1,
1901, and thereafter until further
nctice ; and will take up with its
mine employes any grievances which j
they may have."

Miners Object to Reduction j
in Price of Powder Being |
Counted.
Scranton, Pa, Oct IS.-Represent j
atives of nearly all the big coal ,
Cutr.piii;ies of the region conferred i
here today and made an agreement to j
amend the notices already posted by ;
attaching the following :
'In iurther explanation of the j
abovi? notice, this company desires to ;
say that it is its intention to pay the j
advance in wages above noted until j
Aorii 1, 1901, ano thereafter untii ?
further notice '
The folio wing ?talement was issued !
to the press :
"The representatives of the larger j
coal companies alter their meeting j
this afternoon stated in reply to j
inquiries, that they had offered their j
men a 10 per cent advance as indi !
cated by the notices they had posted,
that this notice specifically 6iated
that the reduction of powder from
$2 75 to ?1 5'J would be considered
in arriving at thc wages of their
contract miners lt was expected
when the notices were posted that
the offer was to stand until April 1,
and indefinitely thereafter, but inas?
much as there seems to bc some
misunderstanding in this matter they
have agreed to add to their nctice a
clause to the effect that it is theil
intention to pay the advance in wages
until April 1, 1901, and thereafter
until further notice."
National President Mitchell, Dis
trict Presideut T. D Nichol!, Dis?
trict becretary John T. Dempsey and
! National Organizer Dilcber, o? the
j United Mine Workers, have ali been
I quoted as saying; that the reasons of
! tne Scranton convention contemplated
j a straight advance of 10 per cent for
I all parts of the region and that the
: matter of having this increase made
j up io part of a dectease in the cost
I of powder, in these upper regions j
i where powder is sold for $2 75 a |
; keg, was not to be agreed to The ?
! powder question, they one and aii !
j said, was left out o? the present '
I negotiations with the understanding j
that it should form one of the griev i
anees to bo adjusted in the confer- j
ence which the offer says the operat- j
ors agree to have with their men to
"take up any grievances they may
nave."
President Mitchell when informed
by telephone of the action of the
operators, stated that he wonld have
to decline to discuss its probable
effect in reaching a settlement until
he had given the matter careful cou
sideration. He would not say wheth
er or not it would be possible to deal
^ith the difficulty without calling
another convention.
GENERAL BULLER
EXCUSES HIMSELF.
No General, He Thinks. Ever
Faced Such Conditions
Before
London, Oct 19.-The Piecermaritz
burg correspondent of The Daily Mail
wires as follows :
"Io his speeoh returning thanks for
the sword of honor, Sir Redvers Buller
made a spirited defense of bis strategy
He said he did not believe that any
general bad ever faced a situation so
difficult as that which confronted him
when be disembarked at Cape Town
without au army And with co hope
of one for another seven Wbeks or
longer.
" 'I found Mafeking and Kimberley

Ladysmith nearly so. If I bad waited
for the army and theo advanoed oe .
Bloemfontein it would have been ,
at least twelve weeks before I couid '
have exerted any influence on the sit- '
nation. j
" *In that time the Boers would have [
completely overroo and occupied Natal, j
and what would have been the effect- of I
that on Great Gritaio V
"General Buller said that Sir Evelyn i ;
Wood had wired asking to be allowed ?
to come oct to ser^e under him. He 1
said be was never so tempted in his life j
to take a man at his word, for be had ;
begun to look upon Natal as a forlorn j
hope; but ic would have been cowardly j '
to have let Sir Evelyn come and take ! \

" 'I koow that if I failed to relieve ! I
Ladysmith,' he exclaimed, 'I sbooid j 1
lose the supreme command 1 lose it j
and rightly 1 think Bui I had taken
oe the task and was bound to see it <
through to the conclusion. j
"Sir Redvers paid the bigb*t compli- j

In the party were President Thomas Wilson,
Gov M. B McSweeoe?, R. 0. Purdy, i?tq.
J. F. Laughery, Dr. H. J. McLaorio, Louis
Appel: and H. G. Osteea and at Remberts
Station Mr. E. E Rembert was tf.keo aboard,
Gor. McSweenev, who is one ot' President
Wilson's strong friends, came over cn the
8 o'clock train by special invitation for the
occasion and returned to Columbia Uet night
oo tbe 9 o'clock train.
Tbe run to Camden WPB made at a rate of j
speed that permitted Commissioner Evans to j
make a thorough aod intelligent inspection j
of the road bed, culverts, trestles, tidings, !
depots, etc. The train arrived at the Cam?
den depot about 12 45, aod th? members of
the party spent more U:ao two bours in the
historic old town, which is oow busier and
livelier and more prosperous looking than
ever Before.
The party returned to the car at 2 30
o'clock where dinner was served at once, and
at 3 o'clock the train started on the return
trip to Sumter. President Wilson isa mo3t
agreeable and thoughtful host and made the
trip as pleasant and er joyable aa it wa9 com?
fortable. Tbe cook on bis private car is a
culinary artist, and be served a dinner that
few bolsters could surpass, and every member |
of ?he party did full justice to it.
The distance from Sumter to Camden hy
the Northwestern is 30 miles Of this 27 3
miles is new track built by Mr. Wilson with
in the psst 18 months, the remainder of the
distance is over tbe tracks of the Southern
Ry. (the Cluden Blanch) which the North?
western taps less than three miles thia side of
Camden. Temporary trackage arrangements
have beeo made with the Southern to use its
track ootil the Northwestern can build its
own line into Camden from the pre3:nt junc?
tion.
The Northwestern now uses the depot and
yards of the South Carolina & Georgia Ex?
tension Ry (the old 3 C's) bat io a short
time Prei'dent Wilson expects to bare bis
own depot and yards. There are three sta?
tions already established ; Dalzell, Bordeo
and Remberts and several sidtog at otber

ing aloag tbe road between tbe regalar sta?
tions, aod if necessity should arise aod the
businesa of ?be road warrant ti one or more
additional statioos wii! be established be?
tween this city und Caoden.
The road is a more direct route thaa anyone
expected to find it and there are fewer curves
and less heavy grades than aoyooe acquaint?
ed with the couotry between Sumter aod
Camden bad any idea a railroad would nec?
essarily encounter. The worfc of coostruc

branches are being filled in down to tbe
trestlas or culverts and wben ibis work bas

Already the road is doing a very satisfac
?ory business and the patronage will grow.
Wednesday, although the road had not bees
