Xew York, Oct. IS. Coal prices will never
lie reduced to the point where they were
be!ore the Pennsylvania strike in the opin
ion of rpiail coal dealers of this city. They
tay that the ttrike has iermanently ralstd
the price of coal at least W cents on the

"The consumer will have to pay the !n-creux-
in the wascs of the miners." said
Thomas Stokes, one of the largest retailers
!n tha city, to-night. Other coal men agreed
.with this view.

gether with tho consumers of the rest of
the country, the dealem say, will take tho
role of the toal operators and pay the min
rs the advance of 10 per cent they have
won in their tight for more wages.
In speaking of the present situation to
night Thomas Stokes said: "There la a gen
eral supposition on the part of the con
sumers that, as the strike is over, the price
of coal oucht to go back at once to the old
figures. They do nut understand wny It
does not go back. Tho reason is plain.
There is no coal end the operator." will see
to it that the tupply is not greatly increased
for the present, at least."

that he was In no Immediate dangciT Natur

SPECIAL 1W CAIil.B.
Yalta, Russia, Oct. IS. (Copyright. iffl.
ty tho New York Herald Company.) While
In St. Petersburg a few days I was ablo
to gauge up to a certain desree tho vast
r.mount of annoyance which recent even:s
In China had caufed in the Russian For
eign Ofjcs., Tii.2nnoyanco was unlimited.
l'here are tnusc who have held that Rus
rla was at the bottom of all the recent
ChlneFO troubles. Never wero people moro
utterly misled than those who formed s,uch
a concluMo.n. It Is utterly fal.-e.
On the contrary, what I It amed In St.
Petersburg was that, so far from fomenting
nny trouble In the Far Last, Count .Mo-i-a-v.'eff.
tho la to Minister for Foreign Affnl-s,
waj so utteily unsuspecting of tho t' mote
events which sent tho whole of Uurope Into
paroxysms of alarm the Insurrection,
massacres and the like that when tu
whole truth burst upon him it was with a
:tu.-Idenncss th:.t caused his death.
In St. Petersburg I found that tho im
pulsive action of the G-rman Ka!er Is
taken very seriously a3 marking a new lino
of German policy, a working away from
Russia and thus a direct departure from the
ItNmarckian policy, which was hlgh'.y
prized by Russia. The Kinperor's couro
had caused likewise n feeding of resentment.
Tho right ptr-on was here, a personage
who has the rlsht to j-peal: uron the
foreign Ixjlltles of Rus.ti.i. and none could
doubt his knowledge. It Is not the Czar.
You can gues who Is. and you Will prob
ably guess right the first time. He m es his
Imperial Majesty daily and is fully con
versant with the Emperor's political views.
What he sild In general follow:
"The position taken by the United States
has been in the highest dc-ree gratlfving
to Russia. I have noticed in all our dea -Ings
with the United State how tiuicklv
and intelligently the true meaning of the
rituatiun was grasped. In this cjso t.f
China the American Government at onco
seized with practical Instinct th. true line
to follow, eo us to obtain Justice without
placing the Government in an lmp-ss.bio
position and thus defeating tho very ends
necessary to obtain if peace were to be pre
served." "Hut. jour Excellency, evil d s,j,ns have
been attributid to liusia in this e'h.iie.-..
matter. Among other things, it has l.vn
said sho Iwid brought about the cntirn
trouble."
Frienilffliip for America.
"What sensible, thinking person Is going
to bellove t-uch a thing a3 that In the face
of facts7 Russia's net.ou has bee-u an open
book from beginning to end."
Then, continuing with mor force in his
tone, he said:
"I defy any one to show that Ru-bia has
deviated In any respect from tho policy
which has btcn announced, and which it
glvtn openly In tho Russian press-. What
Russia undertook to do she did. Hvr policy
has been open and perfectly simple from
the first."
"You are accused Of a desiro to anne
Manchuria."
With an impatleut Gesture, ho replied.
sharply:
"How ridiculous, in the face of ovenfs.
The truth Is that so far from havlnir ue
signs upon Manchuria. Rus'a's frontier in
that part was not properly protected. We
are po unprepared that we had to submit to
be attacked and frimixirileJ. Does that look
like our being prepared to annex Man
churia7" It Is none too politio In Russia to touch
uiMin the name ot tho Czar, so I asked him
what ho thought of the Czar himself. b
ing talked of as a partisan of war. At this
he locked as if he thought of asking wheth
er Fueh a thing could be 'meant seriously;
then, replying, he said:
"Can any one believe that. In the face of
what my august master has done to show
himself the truest friend of penccT"
At this point the conversation turned up
on the peace convention at The Hague, and
the energetic manner In which Americans
had taken up the matter, compared with
the lukewarmness of many other nations.
This his Excellency admitted, saying:
"His Majesty the Emperor never omits nr.
opportunity of commenting upon the good
si irit of Americans upon all matters In
which we have come In contact."
This led on to the matter of rubst.inti.il
Interests which should bring the United
States and Russia together arid of the
early Increasing trade relations which tho
United States were building up with Russia.
ot SerWInc Territory.
Finally we came back to the Chirco
aucstlon. Putting some rather pointed
questions. I asked him whether he knew of
the report, which had fo-.nd some believers,
that Russia had sugg'sted the recall of the
allied troops so that, havin? once got them
away, she might herself at a given moment
return and occupy tho Chinese capital.
"Really," he said, "the whole matter ap
pears to me so simple-. Our Ministers and
our people were In great danger In Pekln.
It was one duty to relieve them. We under

took to do ro and we achieved their rescue.
"Hut Pekln from that moment had nn
further Importance, because It was no
longer tho t-eat of tho ChlneFO Govern
ment." "Russlri does not, then, want to gain ter
ritory In China?"
IIIi Excellency sut back and looked un
utterable things. That, with a touch of
sarcasm In his voice, lie said:
"Just look at our country."
"Can nny one who knows this country
Imaglno for a moment that Russia Is In
want of neditional territory?"
"Rut Russia nteds harbors."
"Russia," replied his Evccllency, "is
i cmito content with what she has got. What
s.he wuncs is time to develop."
"Rut suppose Germany forces tho situa
tion?" "If the other Powers, one or any of them,
wero to thftik It right to push matters and
.inius Chinese territory, then Rus.-la would
have to come In and hold her own. That
Is not whit Rusla wishes. Such a policy
would only be forced upon hrr."

tour along the va.ley In !'? there has been
a striking change in the attitude of the resi

nings Hryin to-diy followed tho lipe of
greatest Republican resistance. He followed
the moss-covered backbone of tho Stato
from Albany alon,r the Mohawk Valley to
this city.
He made eighteen speeches to crowd
ranging from 1.C0O to 13.0CO. In all thoso
rpecches there was r.o tremor or deviation
from his fixed principles. Into all of them
ho threw his heart and souL In each of
them was the splendid infusion of belief and
cnthurfasm which marked the opening ad
dress of M present campaign.
Those who say that Rryan is an actor do
not know tho man: thoe who areert that he
is a shallow charlatan tpeal: foolishly and
without knowledge.
The Interest and enthusiasm tOiown by
the great crowds along the line of cni'ada
to-day was In no way Inferior to that of
yesterday. The towns at which he stopped
rrcmed to ft el the prci-ence of the man.
They made that feeling visible in ilag3 and
Lunting and para-ling crowds.
The throngs were not altogether Demo
crats. Hundreds, nay thousands, of them
were men who. realizing that they wero
citizens cf a Stato without n Governor,
came to listen to the Democratic candidate
and were converted.
There was no doubt among thoso on tho
Iiryan train that th-j trip of the Democratic
candidate was giving a grent Impetus to
the Democratic canviss In th's section, and
that a well-defined and crystallized srupport
from new voters was being rstablL-htsl.

When war hortc3, as hardened to Imprcs

it is pretty good evIJenco that things arc
going to their satisfaction.
Governor Roosevelt's shameful desertion
of tho duties to v.-hlch he is sworn lias
had much to do with this recession of Re
publican sentiment. The It- publicans them
selves are awar cf It and are tolng la a
hundred wajs to overcome it. They havo
no loophole of excuse for Roosevelt.
At almost every station along the route
to-day they had ported hugo bills warning
the voters against Democracy in the fol
lowing way:
"Rryan Is here, lis t-1 ction means na
tional dishonor and Indusmal collapse."
"A vote for Rrvan is a voto for low waises
or no wages: brea I riots and siup'ioUse3."
There were no foot notes explaining why
Bryan's election meant nalionil dishonor.
There wero no postscripts telling how he
raeint to bring ab ut Irdusffo! collapsi.
There was no marginal light thrown on the.
question as to Juat how n vote for Rryan
would be a vote for low wages or no wages.
or how ho would Inaugurate bread riots or

As early as was tho hour for starting
this dav'.s harvesting, Rrjan found 4 0 0
pt r-'ons waiting for him at Schenectady.
Her.? were the huge electrical works which
cmplov thousands of men. To them Rryan
spoke of the evils of trusts In tho m-itter of
consolidation.
To the large crowd at Fond.-t. Bryan opoka
as to an agricultural community. lie tol.l
them that they had enjoyed four vears of
good rains and r.o drought.
"If you vote the Democratic ticket, do you
think there will be a drought? Tho Re
pubiicars do not control the rain crop. If
they did you can depend that you woulJ
have to buy every shower."
When the train rolled away the crowd
was still laughing ar.d cheering.

At Johnstown, a notoriously Republican
town, there were 2rt persons ar.d a band.
Speaking of the trusts, Bryan expressed his
belief that they should run their business
through the legislature Instead of forcing
upon the people a government of the syndi
cates and for the syndicates.
"Suppose all these glove factories were
combined under one management." he sild.
"what would hapien then? Your trade
would be ru)nel ar.d your poverty assured.
Under the present condition if an emplover
does not pay ou fair wages there Is an
opportunity of going to other employer in
your trade who will."
There was a splendid crowd and much en
thusiasm at Clovcrsvllle. Four thousand
persons were gathered around the speak
er's platform. A low shed went down with
a crash under a superabundance of we'cht
of enthusiasm, but nobedy was Injure i.

Richard Croker Is supremely confident
that Rryan and Stevenson will carry th3

that if Mr. Croker"" estlmat" of 10.000 as

Fivo thousand lungs were working over

Cannons and anvils boomed and tlrs llttls
city looked very gay. Hundreds of flam
waved from the windows and along the
streets. It was a great turnout for a
stanch Republican stronghold and un
doubtedly Indicated a great change of senti
ment. In Ms discourse, Mr. Bryan said:
The great .danger of the country at tb
preent time is that a great industrial
despotism may be "established and tho
cahrres cf tho children for futuro inde
pendence and prosperity bo lessened.
"I want the avenues of trade left open to
your children and mine that they may as
pire to financial Independence. Havo you
ny assurance that jour 'niu-.tr.c3 will not
be combined Into a trust? I want you to
th'nk seriously about ke?pm.r monopolv
cut ot your town. I find factories In control
of thi trusts shutting down everywhere.
Are you willing that intimidation shall pre
vail In this country?"
Rryan made practically tho ssrao ppreal
to 2.000 persons at Herkimer and 2.SM at
lllon. A short- stop was mado at Frankfort.
Here stood tho huge deserted ships of tho
Wot Shore Railroad, without a sign cf life.
The crowd nbcut tho station was small
because the town had been deserted ar
bitrarily by the rallrcad. Scarcely had
Rryan begun to speak before a raggtd
looklng man shouted shrilly:
"Chauncey Depew has bankrupted th's
village. We have nothing now but empty
houses and empty dinner pall."
"Then." replied Bryan quickly, "thero Is
no need why you should bo told of tho ef
fects of consolidation."
As he continued hair a dozen men cams
along bearing transparencies whereon were
the words:
"Who moved the West Phoro shops?"
A string was pulled, disclosing this reply:
"Our Chaur.cey."
Tho men of Frankfort can bo depended
upon to vote the Democratic ticket. At
the foot of Gcnesco street In Utlca n,
crowd of 6.00U wero gathered to which.
Bryan mado a ringing speech on Imperial
ism and the trusts. As the train proceed

Here Bryan spoke on tho subject of pros

Oneida, with an audlenco of S.OflO. was the
next s'op. It was on enthusiastic and -o-ciftrous
crowd and welcomed Bryan with
tumult and che-ro. Crowds were found at
Canosta and at Chlttenango. Two mile
from Kirksvllle the train was delayed half
an hour by a freight wreck. A ehort stop
was made at Dovvttt, where uryan spons

Bryan's speech was continually inter
rupted by cheers. Before he had finished
rain began to fill and thousands rushed ftr
shelter Senator Wager held an umbreit-1.
over Mr. Bryan's head and be paid no at
tention to the downpour.
It was here In Syracuse, however, that
the crowning demonstration of the day took
place. From the city limits to the depot
tho engine of the Bryan train ran ovsr a
continuous lino of torpedoes. They sounded
like Infantry fire In a tattle.
As Rryan emerged from his car the rain
ccazed and every man, woman and child
who had taken shelter rushed for tho
square in front of tho opera-house, whera
tho speakers.' stand haB been erected for
the open-air meeting. Here Bryan spoke to
a crowd of 15.QU0. Hundreds ot torches
blazed and smoked over the great gather

that this city has ever witnessed, and It
brought great comfort to tha souls of tho
Democratic spellbinders.

Washington, Oct. 18. There was no ma

He has a disagreeable cough, which irri
