The A " .- strika of th anthracite coal mine : workers of PennsylTania,wbich began September 17th. practically ended to- - day when the Philadelphia and Bead inr Goal and Iron Company 'and the Lehigh Valley Goal Company agreed to abolish the sliding scale in their re- - rpectire regions and to grant an ad ' ranoe in wages of 10 per cent, net, the adranee to remain in operation until April 1st, 1901, or thereafter. Tbii ac tion meets tha demands of the JScran ton miners' conrention. The decision - was arrired at after a conference be- tween represent tires of the indiridaal ; coal operators and the large coal car rying companies. The conference be gan yesteroay. To-day's action was the culmination of the recent meeting of the individual vj operators at Scranton, following the mine workers' conrention in the same ' city. Nearly all the collieries in the ' coal region had previous to the mine workers' conrention posted notices granting an adranee of 10 per cent. Victory for the Men. The mine workers in considering this demanded that the sliding scale in the Lehigh and Schuylkill districts be V abolished, the increase to be guaran teed until April 1st. 1901, and all other v - differences to be submitted to arbitra tion. The indiridaal operators s greed to everything and the appointment of m committee to induce the Reading and - the Lehigh companies to abolish the ' sliding scale and make the wage ra- crease permanent, followed. It is conceded that the results of to day's conference h a complete victory ; for the men. All the demands of the .. convention are acceded to and as one of thendiridual operators put it after the , ; conference, the operators go a little -farther in agreeing to maintain the wage adranee after April 1st. This same operator, who . suggested that his v- name be not used, said in speaking of the conference: Speedy Resimptioa Expected. "It's up to the miners now. We ':' hare agreed to ererything and nothing remains now 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 Blading Company's notice, the ' " phraseology only being changed. I look for a resumption of operations by Monday night at the latest. The con- ferenee was entirely harmonious and every phase of the strike situation was gone over." The Beading company's notice reads : "It hereby withdraws the notice posted October 3rd, 1900, and to bring about practical uniformity in the adranee of ' wages in the several coal regions gives ; notice that it will suspend the opera tion of the sliding scale, will pay ten per cent, advance on September wages . till April 1st, 1901, and thereafter until further notice, and will take up with its mine employes any grievances which they may have." Presideat Mitchell Istcrviewed. , Haitt.tok, Pa., October 17. The news from Philadelphia to-day that , the Philadelphia and Beading Coal i and Iron Company had agreed to the anthracite miners' proposition as set forth in the resolutions adopted in con vention last Saturday brought forth many expressions of surprise that it should come so soon after the conven tion. President Mitchell, of the United ' Mine Workers, when informed of the Beading Company's action by a repre . sentative of the Associated Press, was pressed for a statement on this aceep- tance of the miners' proposition. All he would venture to say, however, was .that he would be glad to know that the anthracite operators had decided to change the notices previously posted, so as to comply with the pro- - visions of the resolutions adopted at the Scranton convention. Mr. Mitchell declined to say whether : the Union would let the men return to . work at these collieries where . the op ! : era tors had accepted the miners' prop osition before all the companies had fallen into line. It is generally be lieved that the big 'coal carrying rail , . roads that mine coal will quickly fol j , low tha Beading Company and grant : acceptances of the proposition and that all other operators will do the same. HANNA IN SOUTH DAKOTA. ' Discassed the Tariff aad Talked Aboat tie Trials ta a Large Crowd at Aberdeea. By TrttTitih to tbe Morulas star. Abzbdxxx, EL D., October 17. Sen- ator Hanna and his party attracted a big crowd here to-day. Mr. Hanna began to discuss the tariff. - J "What about the trusts!" asked some one in tha crowd. "Well, my friend, if you will tell me what a trust is, I'll answer your ' question," said Mr. Hanna. No reply i came.- "Well, if you don't know IH tell you." continued Mr. Hanna. "A trust . under the law and what is known as ' a trust in commerce is where the stock of a corporation is put into the hands of a trustee, carrying with it the vot ing power. Every single organization : of that kind that ever had its existence ' in the United States has been wiped out through the action of the Sherman law, and that law was put upon the statute books of tha United States by a .

' THE MEETINGS ENTHUSIASTIC reit Crowds at Albaay aad Trey-Other Promlaeat Speakers Addressed Over flow Meetlors-Soaie New Poiats Made by Mr. Bryaa. By Islegrapb to Ute Hornmc Star. Albaht. N. Y., October 17. Wil liam J. Bryan rn around two sides of a triangle to-dsy, from Hudson to Al bany inclusive, and probably spoke to as cosmopolitan lot of people as he has addressed during the campaign. At Hudson he spoke to a gathering of business people of all class ess; at Troy to the capacity of an Opera House and with an overflow meeting or collar rec tory and laundry employes; at Me chanicsville to railroad people ; at Co hoes to the mass of the employes of the cotton and woollen mills, and at Al bany to two immense meetings, one in the fjpera Mouse ana one outside, composed of the best element in the city. During his speech-making, Mr. Bryan was accompanied by Chairman or tne State Uommittee ivranr uamp bell. Judge C. N. Bulger of Oswego. ex-Senator Edward Murphy, ex-Mayor Francis Malloy of Troy, Mayor Samuel M. Jones of Toledo, and J. J. Delaney of New York. Messrs. Bulger, Delaney and Jones alternated in the speaking with Mr, Bryan, assisting particularly at places where there were overflow meetings. The great meetings of this trip were held at Troy, the home of ex -Senator Murphy, and Albany, the home of ex Senator HUL Mr. Hill is absent in the West. At both Troy and Albany the meetings were phenomenally large and enthusiastic, immense overflows hav ing to be held to accommodate those who either desired to hear or see Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryaa's Speeches. During this traverse of the two sides of a triangle Mr. Bryan alluded to many things which he has not men tioned at many other places during the campaign. At Hudson he said: "It is said Mexico is far better off be cause we took our flag down from the capital when our Mexican war was over and brought it back to the Bio Grande. I think Mexico is better to day, and we are better than if we had held a carpet-bag government in place there by means of bayonets, and I think that self-government in Mexico, half Spanish and half Indian, has de veloped the people more and has brought them further than would have been the case had we held them under our dominion, and if yon doubt it, look at Mexico and compare Mexico with India. Under thirty years of self-government Mexico has luade more progress tnan India nas made in one hundred and fifty years oppressed by Anglo-Saxon soldiery. They only hive 100,000 English in India out of 300,000,000 and it takes an army of seventy thousand British soldiers to take care of the British population, and it takes a native army of 140,000 to help the British army of 70,000 in its work of protection." At tohocs Mr; Brysa Said: "We will soon find the army here demanding the punishment of an in nocent man as the army in franco de manded the punishment or Dreyfus, a man so innocent that the president felt that ne must pardon him as soon as he was convicted, because of the outraged sense of justice expressed throughout the world." He paid a high tribute to LaFayette and his service to the American colo nies in their war for freedom and spoke of the gift of the statue of lib erty in New York harbor .from the people of the French republic, and asked: Shall we take that statue down and send it back to . France and tell the people of France that we are not in the liberty business any more! Shall we send over to England and get a statue of William the Conqueror and place it in New York harbor to indicate the change that has taken place in our nation's ideas!" At Newbarzh. At Newburgh Mr. Bryan spoke to a crowd of . several thousand people from a stand in front of the court house and the speech was -frequently and loudly applauded. 'I want you to know." said Mr. Bryan, "that the National Biscuit Company has one hundred and sixteen factories, and when I was at Mankate, Mich., the other day, I found a cracker factory that had been bought by the National Biscuit Company and dosed down within a short time. You will find that every one of the concerns mentioned is one of the great trusts. The Ameri can Steel and Wire Company controls eighty per cent, of the output of wire nails and steel wire and you remember that within a year that company closed down twelve factories, threw six thou sand men out of employment and then reduced the price of wire nails and barbed wire in an instant, threw upon the men who had bought up stocks of the wire and nails a heavy loss, and it was stated that the man who was re sponsible for it did it in order to make more money on the stock market in the depression of the price of the stock than a man could make in an ordinary life time. Why is it," he added, "that your papers will defend these trusts t" Mr. Bryan charged that the Repub lican party was circulating a book pre pared by a man named Weeks, which defended the trusts, and said : "The National Publishing Company of New York printed the book. It first asked the trusts to buy the book and circulate it It found the trusts did not want to undertake the circulation of this book, and this publishing company wrote a letter to the trusts, a copy of which is in the hands of ex-Governor Stone, saying: To 'overcome this difficulty we have arranged, with the Republican- National Committee to have it distributed in such manner and in such places as to insure the best re sult,' and Governor Stone has are ceipt signed for the "national commit tee of the Republican party byJ. EL Manly, for 600 copies of a book in de fence of trusts, paid for by the trusts, to be circulated by the Republican committee among the people, to con vince them that trusts are good, while the leaders say the Republican party is opposed to trusts. I want to ask you whether you have faith in the party who thus promises the people relief from trusts, while its committee circu lates a book to defend the trusts." At Troy He Said: "The Republican party has changed its ideas and its-ideals in the last quarter of a century. I remember reading a letter from Abraham Lin coln to the Republicans of Boston who were celebrating Jefferson's birthday. Do you remember whether the Re publicans of this community have celebrated Jeff erson'S birthday lately f Hare they had -any banquets in ins honor .under Republican auspices in recent years!' I think not- Not in any part of the country, nd ,yet, my friends, in 1858, when the Republican party was organized its platform ap- pea ed lu WV U;.it who wanted to carry the government back to the principles of Washington and Jeffer sou. To day the ' Republican , party meets to celebrate the birthdav. cot Jefferson, but of Hamilton, Jefferson' great political opponent." t - Tie Albany Meetlars. ' - The Albanv meetinira were not be sun as Droamtlv as some That bad taken place elsewhere. A parade kept the assemblages in the street ana theatre waiting. The theatre was filled to repletion and a large, overflow on the outside commanded Mr. Bryan's attention. Mr. Bryan's voice showed oalnable signs of wear. . He said in Dart: "The Beoublican party goes on the theorv that societv is built from the top. They say take care of the well- to do and they will take care of those who are not well to do, and when you tell them of the story of Lazarus and Dives they say: 'What a lucky man Lazarus was to have a Dives near,-so he could get the crumbs that fell from Dives' table." "A man in your State in 1896 said that the prosperity of the laboring men and the farmer depended upon the prosperity of the banker and the busi ness man. He got it just reversed. The prosperity of the business man de pends upon the prosperity of the farmer and the laboring man, for until wealth is produced there is no weaitn to exchange: And yet the Republicans, if they built a house as they build society, would build the roof first and then hang the house to the roof. They go on the theory that a man who has a place to work ought to be under some obligation to the employer. No man employs another unless the man employed can make enough to pay his own wages and a pront besides to me man who employs him. And yet when election day comes the employer sometimes thinks that the man who is working for him sells his citizenship when he sells his labor. And often the employer tries to coerce the laborer. If it is right for an employer 10 vote ine vote or nu employe, men j. insist wo law should be changed so as to give everv emnlover as many votes as he has employes. As it is now they semetimes get away and if the vote belongs to the citizon and not to the employer, then every citizen who prizes his ballot and appreciates the responsibility of citizenship should speak out against the intimidation that is often nracticed against those who are in the employ of others." Mr. Bryan then took up the ques tions of trusts and militarism along the usual lines. A MURDER MYSTERY. A Msa's Body Decspitsted aad Denuded of the Limbs Fooad la a Pond at Lynn, Mass. bj Telegraph to the Morning Star. Lykic, Mass., October 17. That great "Trunk trsgedy," as it was known through all New England, way back in 1873, when the mutilated bodr of Jenny Clark was found wedged into a trunk which had been picked up in the Sauguas river, was in some respects no more mysterious than the murcUr which was revealed to day by the finding of a man's body, de capitated and denuded of the limbs, in a gunny sack in Glenmore pond. The police to-night are inclined to the belief that George E. Bailey has been murdered and have taken under arrest John C. Best, 25 years of age, a farm hand, employed on the estate or which the supposed victim of the mur derer was care-taker. The police, in searching the farm house where the men live, found in the barn cellar an axe which bore blood stains, but are not certain they are of human blood. some stains on a window-sill and on a Eiece of card-board in a room of the ouse. Bailey disappeared on October 8th. No one knew the reason, but there were persons who supposed that he had followed his wife to Wiscastle, Maine, she having left the house, it is asserted, because of a disagreement. It is now claimed that the woman, known as Mrs. Bailey, was not his wife; that although Bailey was mar ried, his wife's whereabouts are un known. The woman is said to be Miss Susie Young, and she was the house keeper. With these clews the police are trying to solve the mystery of the murder. SCHOONER SUNK.

Travers, was run down and sunk in Hampton Boads at an early hour this morning, while it was et dark, by an unknown ocean tug. 'he Curtis, at the time of the collision, was passing the Bin-Bans on her wav to Norfolk from the Wicomica river, loaded with fish guano. She was struck with great force and had her bow carried almost entirely way. Captain Travers was struck -by a flying umber, about twenty-lhree inches square, the blow rendering him senseless. Tho tug. which had her after pilot Lhouse carried away, it is reported. steamed off after the accident and was not again seen by the crew of the Curtis. The crew of the schooner, which was rapidly filling, headed their vessel for the beach near Willoughby Spit, where she lies full of water. Captain Travers and his crew, who left the vessel in a yawl boat, reached Nor folk to-day after a thrilling experience, their yawl having narrowly escaped capsizing on several occasions. The schooner Curtis was owned by her master. Captain Travers. and wa in sured in Baltimore. BRITISH COTTON MILLS. SJteatloo la EnglandLancashire Neariaz the End of Her Trouble.

Very few if anv of the operatives abandoned the union, and as the mill men remained firm, a majority of the mills in the county are either idle or running with greatly reduced forces. Instead of crippling the union, the or der of the mill owners seems to nave had the effect of strengthening it, numbers of new members having been received since the notice we e posted. Both the operatives and their late employers are' firm and determined to carry their points, as yet no Disor ders have been reported.

Russians Met With a Strong Resistance from the Chlaese-Bat Their Losses Were Not Very Hesvy. sr Cable to tbe Stornins: Btar. St. Petersburg, Oct. 17. Detailed reports to the War Office of the occu pation of Mukden, Manchuria, show the Russians met with strong opposi tion at . Schacho, where the Chinese, with thirty battalions, twenty guns and Krupps and Maxims, occupied the railway embankment and heights. The fighting continued from 9 o'clock in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. The Chinese cavalry en veloped the Russian right flank and endeavored to to take it in the rear. They were repulsed, but returned re peatedly to the attack. Finally, after artillery preparations, the whole Russian column was thrown against the Chinese who by evening were in full retreat. This result was only reached when General Fleischer's column, which had been resting from the fatigue of along march, was called into action. Next the Chinese made a less stub born stand in a strong position on the mountain chain in front or Laao aau. The position wss captured at noon. butane Russians were unable to pursue tne Chinese owing to extreme raague and the difficult nature of the country. Another Russian force met with strong resistance when they arrived at Liao Jau at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The Knssians in the course of the two days' operations lost fifty killed and wounded. They captured several guns. B0URKE COCKRAN IN MICHIGAN. Discassed Imperialism Before aa EathnsN astic Aadlence ia Detroit. By TelegiaDb to tbe Horning Btar. Detroit, Mich., October 17. For two hours and a quarter to-night Bourke Cockran, of New York, dis cussed "Imperialism" before an enthu siastic audience of about five thousand persons, in the Light Guard Amory. When the cheers which greeted Mr. Cookran'a appearance had subsided he picke4 np copies of two of the Detroit papers and proceeded to answer some questions ssked him in the editorial columns. The first one was whether he knew what Mr. Brvan will do with the finances of the country in case he is elected. Mr. Cockran said that he had no right to answer the question except in so far as Mr. Bryan's character speaks for itself. He declared Mr. Bryan will enforce any law found on tbe statute book and he had no dout that the present statute governing the cur rency of the country will be obeyed. "But." said Mr. Cockran, "if there is any doubt as to the stability of the present statute, then the Republicans who enacted it nave betrayed those who voted for them." iThe other question asked the speaker wss whetner Mr. .Bryan, if elected, would select as his advisers what the paper called the "conservative ele ment of the Democratic party." In answer to this Mr. Cockran said: I do not know whom Mr. Bryan will consult, but I do know whom Mr. McEinley has consulted. I hope that Mr. Bryan will consult with the best in his party. I know that Mr. Mc- Kinley has consulted with the worst in his party." HON. WM. L. WILSON, Presideat of Wsshlagtoa & Lee University, Died Suddenly at Lexlagtoa. By TelegraDb to tbe Horning Btar.

By Telegraph to tne Horning Btar. r Washikqtoit, October 17. Becre tary Hay spent some time at the War Department this morning, in confer ence, with Secretary Boot, after which he went to the White House. -From this it was inferred that there were some military developments in the Chinese situation, although no state ment was made from officials. Kussia's determination to pursue a policy independent of tne otner row ers is regarded by officials as a most important development in the situa tion. In the absence of official details those in authority are in doubt as to whether this Russian move islesigned to insure the occupation of Manchuria or is only another move in the paclflo tendencies which the Czar's govern ment has given expression to, begin ning witn. tne announcement or tne withdrawal of Russian ' troops from Pekin. As to Russian designs on Manchuria, it is being recalled that in the Russian note of August 28th that government specifically stated: "Rus sia will not fail to withdraw her troops from within the boundaries or tbe ad jacent Empire, provided, however. that the action of other Powers shall not stand in the way." It is a question, however, whether the present aggressive course of Qer many in opening a military campaign is not tbe "action of other powers which will "stand in tbe way." Tnere is a strong impression in official quarters that the entire trend of Russia is toward tbe ultimate ac quisition of Manchuria as part of the Russian domain. Chinese Edict's Forgery.
