BY OPERATORS.
Expected Turning Point in the Strike
Was not Reached?Mitchell Giving
Out'Little Information.
CHANGE IN FAVOR OF MEN.
{Several Hundred Quit Work as ReBult
of Persuasion on Part of
Knows More Than Ho Will Tell.
That he knows more about the situation
than he cares to tell Is hardly
doubted by any one. He has practically
admitted that he receives advices
from New York as to the doings of the
operators. There still is a lack of anything
tangible on which to base the report
of an Immediate settlement. President
Mitchell continues to deny that ho
knows anything about It.
The strike situation In the Lehigh
valley showed a change In favor of the
men. Several hundred men quit work
on the Calvin Pardee mines at Lattlmer,
as the result of persuasion on the
I part of the 100 marching strikers, and
at Oneida and Cranberry the coal companies
lost additional men. No collieries
were closed down In this region today.
I GAIN FOR STRIKERS.
IfChe Entire Anthracite Field Will
Likely be Tied Up?All Advances
in. Wages^Refused.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. Oct. 1.?The
mine operators of the.Wvomlntr. Lncka
wanna and Lehigh regions to-day, at a
meeting at Wilkesbarre, followed yestcrday'B
action of tho Heading company,
In offering an Increase of 10 per cent
In wages to the mine workers. They
furthermore decided to rcduce the
charge for powder from ?2 75 to $1 50
per keg. The latter price has prevailed
at the Heading company's mines
for a long time.
The action of the Wllkesbarre meeting
means an increase of 10 per cent to all
mine workers except miners. Tho latter
will earn an Increase of about 10 per
cent by reason of the reduced cost of
powder.
The meeting was attended by representatives
of all the leading railroad
companies which own mines In the regions
named. Some of the Independent
operators oppose the proposed increase
unless the coal-carrying companies
reduce the tolls on their product to
tidewater.
Will Not Accept.
The strikers, however, show no indication
of accepting the offer. None returned
to work to-day at the Reading
company's colliery in response to notice
of higher wages and In fact many
who had been at work there quit and
Joined the ranks of the strikers. As a
result there kwere fewer collieries in operation
to-day in the Schuylkill region
than at any time since tho strike was
Inaugurated
In the other regions there were also
additions to the strikers' ranks.
Notices of the Increase in pay were
posted throughout the entire anthracite
region to-night, but the opinion Is
general that few If any of the strikers
will return to work: The strikers say
they have other grievances to be adJusted
besides wages and powder
charges and they further say they want
recognition of their union.

Another Advance Offered.
WILKESBARRB, Pa., Oct. 1.?Coal
operators at their meeting thin afternoon
decided to offer striking miners of
the Wyoming valley a net advance of
10 per cent on wages heretofore paid
and to take up with their employes any
grlevanccB which they may have. Powder
will be sold to miners at J1 50 a keg,

Soldiers Leave for Home.
SHENANDOAH, Pa., Oct. 1.?The
Twelfth regiment, with the exception of
one company, left for home over the
Pennuylvnnia railroad to-day. The remaining
company will depart with the
t^nts as coon as the canvass is dry, an
early morning shower having saturated
them.
Another Coal Strike.
WELU3TON, Ohio, Oct. 1.?Five coal

by a *trlko for the union scale of eighty

HAZLETON, Pa., Oct. 1.?Although
the labor leaders positively said they
uld not fear a break In the ranks of the
anthracite coal strikers, they were
nevertheless pleased to learn that the
10 per cent advance granted by the
Philadelphia <fc Reading Coal and Iron
Company In the Schuylkill valley was
totally Ignored by the striking mine
workers to-day. It was predicted that
many of the strikers would return to
work under the belief that the 10 per
cent Increase would he the limit of the
oi>erators' concessions, but the unanimity
of the men In deciding to stand out
for a further advance caused many retnnrlrR

bring a turning point In the strike,
but nothing came to the surface that
would lead to any indication of the

JOINT DISCUSSION
Between Governor Atkinson and Gen.
St Clair?Former Carries the Crowd
by Storm?Republicans Jubilant
Over the Besult
Special Dispatch to the Intclllgcnccr.
ELIZABETH, W. Va.. Oct 1.?A. joint
discussion took place here to-day between
Governor Atkinson and Gen. J.
W. St. Clair. The crowd was Immense,
being estimated at about 1,500, and enthusiasm
know no bounds. Governor
Atkinson's address was the most masterful
presentation of the political Issues
ever listened to by a Wirt county
audience. He carried the crowd fairly
off Its feet time and again as he made
his telling points.
He reached the climax at the close of
his address, when he declared that
William McKlnley was the greatest
President that the United States has
had since the day when Abraham Lincoln
was stricken down at the hand of
an assassin, and for the American people
to desert him now would be ns If an
army should desert Its general upon the
field of battle.
The crowd went wild and yelled Itself
hoarse? Hats and umbrellas filled th4
air, and It-was tully five minutes before
order was sufficiently restored to
allow General St. Clair, who made the
best out of a bad case, to go on with his
side of the discussion.
The crowd was In sympathy with
Governor Atkinson from the start and
contlned so through the dlBCUssion.
The Republicans are jubilant over the
result.

BLUEFIELD, W. Ya.t Oct. 1.?'The
long: looked for joint debate between
Hon. Albert Blakeslee White, Republican
candidate for governor, and Hon.
John H. Holt, who Is at the head of the
Democratic state ticket, to-day, was a
great victory for the Republicans, who
had the best of the crowd, notwithstanding
the Democrats had imported
Virginians In order to swell their numbers.
Holt consumed his opening time In a
discussion of Imperialism alone, which
fell as llat as a school girl's essay; he
tried to picture the horrors of the empire,
but all to no effect. In fact, it
was the tamest exposition of the subject
ever heard by our people.
White literally used Holt up on Imperialism
and had time to spare to discuss
other Issues. He laid down proposition
after proposition for Holt to
take up, but he utterly failed to answer
any of them ITThls rejoinder. - Wiitta.
discussed free sliver, trusts and prosperity,
but Holt was afraid of the Are
and failed to follow.
Holt denied that prosperity Is prevalent,
and said good times are the act of
God. Democrats are greatly chagrined
over the poor showing made by their
candidate.

Roosevelt Enters Nebraska and
Meets With the Usual Hearty
Reception Along the Line.
PEOPLE APPEAR IN THE RAIN
To Listen to tho Popular Governor.
Refers to Bryan's Reflection Upon
Brave ^American Soldiers.
M'COOK, Neb., Oct. 1.?Governor
Roosevelt's first day In Nebraska may
be regarded as successful, though the
morning started out wet and chilly and
the audiences as a necessity, were
small.' Thirteen speeches were made
during the Journey to-day and to-night.
Probably 30,000 or 40,000 people were addressed
during the day. Governor
Roosevelt's special train remained at
McCook until late In the night, when It
pulled out for North Platte. To-morrow's
Journey will cover a distance of
six hundred miles and will Include within
that distance eleven speeches. To
uiuitim iiibtii ?v journey win oe maue 10
Broken Bow, at wfilch point the train
will arrive at 8 o'clock In the morning:.
FALLS CITY, Neb., Oct. 1.?Governor
Roosevelt's party reached this place at
S:20 a. m. The morning was rainy and
the ground water soaked, but the inhabitants
were at the station to hear
and see Governor Roosevelt, and there
were many wagons and carriages which
brought in farmers and their families
from the surrounding country. Governor
Roosevelt, In the course of his remarks
said:
"I noticed the other day that Mr.
Bryan said that the Republican party
had no right to claim the benefit of the
fact that pork and wheat and corn had
gone up. lie was speaking of hogs at
the time. The Republican party said
four years ago that if Its policies were
adopted those articles would go up. Its
policies were adopted und they have
gone up. You can proportion the responsibility
between the evidence nnd
mc iwi'uuiitttii puny <ia you ciuiosu,
giving th: Republican party Its share."
POURING RAIN
Has no Effect Upon the Ardor of the
People Who Flock to Hear Boosevelt?Opponents
Should be Judged
by Their Prophecies.
BEATRICE, Neb., Oct. L?When the
jspeclai Roosevelt train-arrived at Auburn
a heavy rain made the contemplated
outdoor meeting Impracticable,
and Governor Roosevelt was hurriedly
driven to the opera house, half a mile
distant. The governor made a ten minute
address to an audience that filled
the building. He said In part:
"During the past four years your
home products here have Incrensed 45
per cent, your beef products have Increased
sixty per cent, and yet we were
told four years ago there would be hard
times If the Republican ticket was
elected. The value of your household
goods has gone up 20 per cent, mortgages
have been reduced 40 per cent,
and j'our savings accounts have Increased
by 35 per cent. Now you should
judge our opponents by their prophecies
not one of which have come true and
judge us by our prophesies which have
Decn rulJiJJed."
Court House Squnre Filled by Crowd.
At Teoumseh, Governor Roosevelt
was conveyed to the court house
squnre, which was filled with people
where he spoke In the open air. He said
In part:
"I want to call your attention to one
of two phuBss of this contest. There
are doubtless among you men who
fought In the great civil war, who from
1S61 to 1SC5, earned the undying gratitude
of their countrymen and conferred
undying honor upon the Hag. I mean
the veterans of the great war. Naturally.
when tho call to arms came In
1S9S In a community like this, with men
and women like this In It, you sent your
sons promptly to the front. No wonder
that you raised your company Instantly
and that It was not able to take one In
ten of the men who were ready to volunteer
and who were sent oft In the
Second Nebraska from this town. Now
I nsk you to see to It that the men in
Washington do not undo the work done
by your sons and brothers In the Philippines.
Soldiers Called "Hirelings."
"Tour governor has recently spoken
of the Boldlers of the regular army as
"hirelings." as "flfteen-doilar-a-month
hirelings." I hnve fought boslde there
"hirelings" at Snntlago. I saw the First,
the Third and the Sixth White cavalry
and the Ninth and Tenth colored cavalry
go up the hill. I saw them leave
behind them 300 - dead and wounded
"hirelings," 300 men who have shed their
blood for the honor of the Hag?300 men
who died that wo mlrht be proud that
their country still held In honor the
fiag. And tho reward Is that these men
should beBneered at as "hirelings." When
you sent your icghnent to the Philippines
Its colonel died. He came from
the rcgulnr army. It was Colonel Stotnenberg,
who wrote a new name on the
honor roll of American history, who
conferred honor not only on your slate,
but on all the nation. Is ho to be referred
to as only a "hireling?"
Men Walking: in Idleness.
"It Is but a few weekB since Mr.
Bryan himself spoke of the soldiers as
a hundred thousand men wnlklng about
in Idleness. Stotsenborg no longer walks
about In Idleness. The men who were
In the Philippines, who stayed there
no longer walk about In idleness. Gen ernl
Lawton no longer walks about In
Idleness, nor does Llncomb or Ttlley,
who died nt Tien Tslu and Pckln. They
have found rest where their comrades
frnm Ifif.l In wlin trnvo ?h?lr IlVi'H
for their flag, have found rent. Woe to
the country that han loHt Its capacity
to nppreclute the sacrifice* of I ho gnlhint
souls who do nnd dare and die for
It? honor and It* glory. Of all ungenerous
things the mo?t ungenerous is to
deny the proper meed of honor to the
soldier, whether volunteer like yourselves
,or thi! regular, an Colonel Stotsenberg
wan. Woo to the nation which
refuse* to glvu the proper meed of
praise to such men."

1 A disastrous freight wreck that has
J blocked the fourth division of the Bnl
tlmore & Ohio railroad occurred last
! night at 8 o'clock, at RoseDy's Rock, in
- Marshall county, about fifteen miles
from "Wheeling. One life was lost, and
two other men are badly injured, one of
whom may die.
The trains that collided were freights,
No. 84, from Benwood Junction, casti
bound, and No. 99, from Grafton, west
3 bound. Train 84 was to have sldei
tracked at Roseby's Rock to allow No.
1 99 to pass, but the engineer evidently
- forgot or overlooked his orders, as he
t pulled out from Roseby's Rock with
out side-tracking. The rear brakeman
of No. 84, John Lawler, started over
* the train for the engine to warn the
t engineer that he was rushing on to cerr
tain death, but Lawler had not gone
c half the distance over the cars when
I the collision came a short distance
1 from Roseby's Rock. Lawler's act in
r endeavoring1 to Have the train and the
' lives of his fellow trainmen was his
own death warrant, us he was unable
to jump, and was killed Instantly, being
crushed to death beneath the
wreckage. His home Is In Grafton.
The engineers and firemen are said
j to have escaped with only slight
f bruises.
