"Yesterday's results show that the coun

of the County Democratic Committee, to
day. "It sounds success for Bryan and Democ
racy. At 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon wo
received reports from every precinct, which
showed that a total of 44.010 nams had
been registered at that time. The remain

a definite statement as to the outcome in
Chicago and Cook County. It was a Demo

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND BACK.
'Apparently Has No Intention to
Stump for McKinley.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
TCew York. Oct. 17. Archbishop Ireland of
fit. Paul returned to-day from Kurope on
the steamship Majestic. He Is in the best
ol health and says ho has greatly enjoyed
his sojourn abroad. The Archbishop went
to Europe last April, visiting Rome. Tar's
and other cities. He addressed an audl
enc at the unveiling of the Statue of
Lafayette In Paris, and recently tho Cross
of the Legion of Honor was conferred upon
him.
About his visit to Rome and the rumors
that he would shortly be raised to the
cardlnalate, the -Archbishop would say
nothing.
"My lips are sealed," said he. "Neither
would it be becoming In me to discuss the
affairs of this country immediately upon
landing. I do not know what has been go
ing on."
Archbishop Ireland apparently has no In
tention to take the stump for McKinley this
year. It is even doubtful that he will write
a letter or Issue an Interview. On the trip
over he delivered two addresses, his theme
being "Tho Duties of Capital and Labor."
but his discourse was purely academic and
he did not touch upon politics.
Tho Archbishop, being persona non grata
at the residence of Archbishop Corrlgan in
this city, ii stopping at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, lie yrlll leave for St. Paul In a day
or two.

Wichita, Kas., Oct. 17. Consternation
reigned at Re-publican headquarters to-day
whe-n it was learned that the National Re
publican Committee had. by mistake, sent
some of their campaign literature. Intended
for the Hast, to this State, and that the
literature was full of bad things. The ob

who have Hopped from Bryan to McKlnley
this year. In the list are seteral hundred

r.o such county nor such tows as are named
In tho circular. It Is, therefore, admitted
that no such Hops occurred. The Republi

SHERMAN IS DANGEROUSLY ILL
Former Cabinet Officer Suffers a
(Sener.il Collapse.
Washington, Oct. 17. Former Cabinet of
ficer and Senator John Sherman Is danger-
i ously 111 at his residence on K street In
i this city. The attack has taken the form
j of a general collapse. In part due to the
general debility Incident to old age and to
i the effects of the serious Illness which he
I suffered while on a, trip to the West In lies
two eajs ago He ncer had fully re
covere-a troni mat itii.css.
Mrs. Sherman's death, during the sum-m-r,
at the old homestead at Manslisld,
O., where the family was staying during
the summer, also had its effect on the ven
erablo statesman who deeply mourned her
loss.
Mr. Sherman returned to Washington sev
eral weeks ago from Mani-lieid, and s.nce
that time has beeu living in the family res
idence heie. He was then In feeble health,
but was able to take daily drhes about the
city.
l'or the past week, however, he has been
gradually growing weaker, and jestcrday
and to-day his condition grew worse', and
rcUtHes in various parts of the country
were notified of the change. Some of them
are expected to come to the. city.
There is said to be r.o very immediate
danger of death, and It Is possible he may
yet rally if no further unfavorable symp
toms occur.
The ex-Secretary is in His seventy-eighth
year and has been a hard worker all his
life.

Miners Hope All Opera

This Week.
Philadelphia, Oct. 17. The great strike of
tho anthracite mine workers of Pennsyl
vania, which trgan Se;ierrbr 17, practical
ly ended to-day, when tho Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company and tho
Lehigh Valley Coal Company ncree-d t'
abolish the sliding va'e in their rcspe-ctlve
regions and to grant an dance in wages
of 10 per cent net. the advance to rttnalT In
operation until April 1. W'l. oi thereafter.
This action meets the demands of the
Scranton Miners' Convention.
The eleciiion was arrived at after a con
ference between representatives of the In
dividual eoal operators and the large coal
carrylng companies. The conference be
gan yesterday.
To-day's action was the culmination ol
th" ree-ent meeting of the individual oper
ators at Seranton, following the Mine
Workers' Convention in the (.ame cit.
N.'arlv all of the collieries In the eoal re
gion had.prevlous to the Mine Workers Con
tention, posted notie-ep. granting an ad
vance of 10 per cet.t. The mine workers, in
conidering this, demanded that the sliding
scale In the Isdiili and Schujlkill dis.ricts
he ntiolisiie-d. the increase to lie guaranteed
riitll Apnl 1. ISOt. and nil other differences
be Miluuillcd to arbitration. The Individual
cpe-i.itors aitn-.il to .ve-rylhlrg. and tlie
appointment of a committee to induce the
Reading and the Jjhigh companies to abol
ish the sliding scale atxl make the wage
Increase permanent followed.
A Victory for ll.r Jlen.
It is conceded that the result of to-day's
conference Is a complete i'-tor lor the
rre-n. All the demands .if thWr .onvention
arc acceded to, and. as one of the individual
operators put it aft. r the conference-, tiie
operators go a little further in agreeing to
maintain the wage advance after April 1.
This same operator, who requested that his
name bo not used, said in speaking of the
conference:
"It's all up to the miners now. We hive
agreed to ever thing, and nothing nmrins
but for thm to return tu work as soon as
the noticej sire posted by the colliery man
agers. These notices will be practically
similar to the Reading comiMny's notice."
l.elileh Will I'oIIum.
No formal announcement has as jet been
made by the Iarhigh Valley Railroad Com
pany regarding its intentions, but after te
Reading company's statement had been
made public. Vice President Garrett of the
LehUh Valley said:
"Conce tiling our operations In the Schuyl
kill region, you may say that the action of
our company will be flmilar to that of the
Reading company. In other districts, how
ever, certain conditions exist for Instance,
the price of powder which must be trend.!
sepaiately. and we have not decided definite
ly with regard to them. The-s-e matters are
now In the hands of Superintendent Li
throp, whose headquarters aro at Wilkes

operators in the Hazleton dNtrlct, late this
afternoon announced that they will post to
morrow notices similar to that Issued by the

This undoubtedly indie -ites what all tho
Individual or rators will do.

the 1'nlted Mine Workers, when informed of
the Reading company's action, declined to
say whether the union would let the men
return to work at thos c lli'ries whero
the operators had accepted the min

red fire and the blare of horns.

From Fiohklll Bryan went over the Hud
son to invade New burg, the home of Ben
jamin B. Odell. Republican candidate for
Governor. It was the Invasion of a con
queror. All Newburg turned out to hear
and cheer him. The reception astonished
even the men with Bryan, who were famil
iar with the political conditions of this sec
tion. Here In the verv lair of Flattlsm and
Ode'llsm the ovation tendered the Demo
cratic candidate showed how deeply the
people are thoroughly aroused by the cam
paign Issues. In his speech here Bryan was
Interrupted Just as Roosevelt Is sometimes
interrupted by a shrill Inquiry as to the
Ice Trust.
"Ask the Republicans atout It." retorted
Bryan like a Mash. "Out West Roo-evelt
denounces the Ie.r Trust, but doesn't sup
press it nt home."
At Piiusbketp:u he said:
"Tho People are spending "PX.u0O,00O on

asked to spend Mui'.CW.lM' a year on a vast
ly increased army."
At Troy, the home of Senator Murphy,

with the best Deme-cracy and much of tha

was no uncertain rote in the cheering
which greeted Bran as he arose and
stepped to the front of the stage.
Mr. Bryan said in part:
"I remember In 1KW our State Republic
an Convention adopted a platform some
thing like this:
" 'We demand that this Government shall
be conducted by business men on business
principles, and in the interest of the bust- '
ness Interests of the country.' or words to

Well. I think not. He does work. That Is

"But he Is no business man. Who ts?

and when ou tell them of the story of

from Dives's table.
Mr. Bryan then took up the questions of
trusts and militarism along- the usual lines.
He called attention to 'Governor Roosereire
argument that the people were not afraid
of a large Handing army, nnd said If any
ono asked who was afraid of a large stanrt
ing army to tell him Governor Roosevelt
was, as evidenced by his recent statements
that a large army would be necessary
but for the war in the Philippines.
Speaking of the claim of the Republicans
that our presence In the Philippines was
due to destiny. Mr. Bryan said:
"Destiny ts the subterfuge of the inverte
brate; it is tho coward's excuse for falllnr
In with that which he has ro strength to
resist."
Mr. Bryan referred to Mr. Hanna's speech
yesterday. In which he says the people ore
not to swap horses in crossing a stream,
and said:
"Mr. Hanna Is mistaken. The Republican
party Is not crossing a stream, but an ocean.
It is going back to European ideas, and yon
had be3t swap horses and come back. In
stead of crossing the ocean."
In the uproar wh'ch followed. John Boyd
Thatcher. Judge Gray nnd Chief Judge
Parker took a modest part.
