INDANAPOLIS, Intl., Sept. 6. Tho eyes
of the commercial world aro turned toward

miner In Pennsylvania Is of International
Interest. If the strlko Is ordered by the
national board of the United Mine Workers,
approximately 1,000.000 persons will bo nf

ing last nlsht for tho conferenco today.
Tho board meeting was called for 10
o'clock, but was delayed until noon on ac
count of the absence of Fred Ditcher, who
has been at work In tho anthracite Melds
nnd Is familiar with the situation. Tho an
thraclto fields are located in Schuylkill,
Susquehanna, Northumberland. Luzerne,
Columbia, Carbon nnd Dnitphln counties.
Pennsylvania. . Harelton Is the contral
city of tho region, and there will be tho
headquartoro of tho olIlcerB of tho United

To the operators, time has been granted
until Saturday to meet the demands of tho
miners. Tho feeling among the board
members and others hero today is ex
pressed without reserve. All say that they
liopo a clash will be averted, and rare wait
ing to spc what will bo the answer of tho
operators.
"Tho condition In the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania was not considered at today's
meeting of tho executive hoard of the United
Mlno Workers of Amorlcn," said President
John Mitchell tonight. "As a mntter of fact
1 havo not placed the matter beforo tho

a special order for tomorrow's session nnd

Mima ttmo ago that, In my opinion, there

my own opinion; I havo not talked with tho

Itev. i:. S. Phillips met here today with
tho ontcer.s of tho I'nlted Mine Workers
of three mining districts for the
consideration of the proposition sub

This was that a conference lie liehl between

Since Uu'i the proportion of (he reg.ilnr

of peai'O. It has sometimes been lower
than It Is at present and ogaln It has been
higher, an In 1M0 when wo had one und
tour-tenths soldiers for everv thousand
people, nnd In lS7n, when we hart one for
every thousand people. During the Indian
wars on tho nlnlns we nfton tmd n reln-
t..el larger military force than has been
employed in thn Philippine, and there was
Mist as much chance of "m'lltnrlsm" then
as there is now. und nn more.
Let nny one of you think of his own ex
perience. You know llul It innkos not one
particle of difference to you us regards
your private life whether we have ten or
twenty regiments of heavy artillery In our
(oast force; or whether we havo ten or
twenty reglinenta of cavalry and lufnntry
engaged In keeping order, whether among
tho Indians on the plains or among tho
lugals In the Philippines. There is no more
possibility of a draft or of any serious bur
den of military service In this country than
there Is a possibility of Ceorge III coming
to life again, and the mnn who proposes to
feel frightened about the one might ns well
express nervousness as to tho possibility of
the other.
The policy of expansion Is America's his
toric policy Wo have annexed the Philip
pines exactly ns we have annexed Hnwall,
New Mexico and Alaska. They are now
part of American territory and we have no
more r gilt to give them up than we have
the right to restore Hawnll to the Knnukn
queen or to abandon Alaska to the ICscuil
tmuix. There Is not it particle of difference
between the cases. W cannot go back,
first, for the sake of the Islands themselves
nnd next for the sake of our own honor.
1ht men who nre making speeches on the

WHEELING, W. Va , Sept. 0. The tour
of West Virginia. 'Ahlrh was begun last
Wednesday by William J Ilrynn, was con
oludcd today with a speech at thla pl.ue
Ho traveled from Doer Pari: by the way
of Clarksburg and I'ai Itcr.ihurg today, mak
Ins three speeches of length and tnformnl
talks at St. Marys anil Slstcrsvllle. At tho
Parkersburg meeting ex-Unltcd Slater. Sen
ator ,1. N. Camden presided, lie supported
Pnltner and Uuckncr four years ago.
Thn meeting at Clarksburg was held
In Haymond grove. The crowd fared
Mr. Bryan trom a high hillside,
fronting tho speaker's ctnnd lo
cated at the foot of the hill. The com
munity bus a tendency toward republican
ism nnd Mr. Hryan'a speech was tin ap
peal to republicans to Investigate party
questions.
"You can't always, tell the character of
an egg from tho outside nppenranco," ho
said, "and I want you republicans to ex
nmlnc the Inside of your egc and see If
It Is ns fresh as It may seem to bo on tho
outside."
He thought thnt many men are too much
Inclined to follow tho party platform with
out giving the subject nny thought of their
own and he was sure Biilllclcnt Investiga
tion would convince them of the Insin
cerity and Inconsistency of the republican
party. They would find this true on tho
financial, trust nnd military questions.
When asked to explain their positions
they would Insrlahly fall hark upon tho
plea of prosperity. With tho republicans
prosperity is like charity--It covers n mul
titude of sins. As for the prosperity of
which we hear so much It was llko tho
milk sickness of the old time It wns al
ways In the next county. Ho again In
stanced the report of his big oat crop and
used it as nn Illustration of the fallacy of
the representatives of the prospermia con
dition In the country. He ngnln elaborated
the statement that the cost of necessary
articles of consumption had Increased out
of proportion to tho Increase of tho cost
of labor and lie quoted tho representatives
of the commercial failures, which wore
growing more and moro frequent.
Nni Plinni' nt liupei'liitlnni.
Speaking of Imperialism Mr. llryan said
tho question had not yet been paused upon
by the people, who were now to have their
first opportunity to state their views upon
the Btibject. Tho president only had tnken
a position, the Judiciary nnd congress had
done nothing, hence the importance of the
consideration of tho subject before It was
too late. Ho instanced tho Porto Ulcan
bill as nn illustration of what the repub
lican party would do In other cases. In
that case tho party had assumed Itself su
perior to the constitution nnd the pres
ident endorsed this position.
Tho meeting closed soon nftcr noon nnd
Mr. llryan left for Parkersburg.
His speech at Parkersburg was devoted
exclusively to tho question of Imperialism.
Uljcusslug tho title to the Philippine
Islands Mr. Ilrynn said: "Who says tho
Lord gave them to us?
To this question n volco in the crowd
responded: "Mark Hanna." This response
elicited, a shout and Mr. llryan replied.
"Whllo I am not prepared to deny that
Ood does speak through the human voice,
I do think that when IIo gets ready to
speak to tho American people He will
choose some other mouthpiece than that
of Mr. Hanna."
Tho meeting tonight was held on tho
wharf. The stand from which Mr. llryan
spoke wns located on tho water's edge
and his auditors occupied the rising ground
In front of him.
Tnlks of I'luiiiieo.
Mr. Bryan npoko for an hour nnd three
quarters, making this the longest speech
ho has delivered during tho cumpalgn.
At the beginning of tho speech a slight
rain was falling, but It did not havo tho
effect of driving tho crowd away.
During his speech Mr. Bryan removed
his coat on account of tho heat. Ho said:
Every platform covers n number of Is
sues, hut there Is always a difference of
opinion as to the relative Importance of
those Issues. In this campaign the repub
lican platform has not clearly defined tho
party's position upon nny question except
tho question of primary money, and tu Ink
ing its position In favor of the gold stan
dard the republican pnrty for tho tlrst time
deserts the double standard; and when you
icpuhllcuiis uro doubting that your party In
lSiNi promised to do what It could to got the
double standard by International agreement
I want you to nsk your republican
friends why no republican wpenker und no
republican editor attempts to explain the
failure of the republican party to get tho
double standard t nut you promised to try to
get by tho aid of tho leading commercial
nations of the world. (Great applause.)
If any republican tells you that the gold
standard is good you tell him that within a
year the rapubllcan senato and house and
president acted favorably upon a bill the
110th section of which declared that tho bill
is not intended to stand In the way of tho
reatoratton of tho double standnrd. So vou
see that tho only question upon which the
republican parly does take a positive stand
Is a new position for the republlcnn party.
Trusts mill Dinner PuIIn,
The republican imrly does not discuss tho
trust question. When the republican party
brags nbout existing conditions Just re
member that the trust condition Is tho main
condition that It brags about. Tho repub
lican parly has been in power for nearly
four years and yet moro trusts have been
organized In the last three and a hulf years
than were organized In all the previous his
torj of the United States. If a republican
says thnt n trust is a good thing, vou tell
that republican that tho republican plat
form denounces the trust. If n republican
says that trusts are a bad thing you ask
him what Ills party has done to tlestroy the
trusts. '
There are questions that aro greater thun
a full dinner pall, and when n republican
tells you that because your dinner pall Is
full you ought to vote the republican ticket
tell him he Is making an argument that
ought to bo addressed to an animal that
knows nothing but to eat nnd thnt ban no
0 her ambition. When the hog trough Is
piled the hog Is patlslled: when It Is empty
ho squeals. That Is the republican Idea of
the laboring man. I believe that Is a slan
der upon the worklngmnn. 1 believe thnt
tho laboring man Is Interested In our Ideas
of government and the laboring man can
sen far enough ahead to realize what mill
turlsni would mean for him.
How tu KIM mi Oi'lniniN,
In reply to n question from tho crowd ns
to tho trusts Mr. Bryan said ho would sug
gest a remedy:
I have been nrgulng the trust question
for yeais and 1 have given remedies, night
j ears ago I Introduced n bill In the na
tional house of representnti en providing
that whenever it wns determined In court
that a trust controlled tho price of any
artle e upon which a tariff was laid that
article should go on the free list. 1 not
only want to destroy the ndvnntnge which
a trust can secure under legislation that Is
given for the purpose of protection; I want
to go further than that. want to destroy
every Pi' vatn monopoly in the United
States 1 believe Unit It Is possible for con
gress to so loslslate that every corporation
doing business outside the state of lta origin
can bo prevented from becoming n
monopoly, and tho plan I suggest la this:
Let congress provide that whenover any
corporation, organized In any state, want.i
to do business outside, of the state It must
go to tho federal government nnd get a
license which will enable It to do such out
sldo business. But It must do business In
every stnte according to iho laws of the
stuto In which It docs business. I do not
want to take awny from tho stnte nuv
power it hot has. but I want congress to
add a remedy Before this license Is given
1 want two conditions comp!l"d with. Hrst:
1 want the water to be squeezed out of the
stock of tho corporation The lahoriutr
man cannot water his capital, which la
'. r IV f rmer i .nuiot w icr b' .a I
V' i I tli farm .md I ' r lnltir
thai a t .rpir it lop -lio'itd In permittid t
'ir It-- tlo k unit thru oie t tti ill i
iltlnH upon Its thtltmin liivesmir-it I
want to squeeze the wairr out i i ih
stocks. There will be u dood for n while,
but there will h honest corporations aftr
ward. If vou had su h a law and such a
license glvon tin fM h conditions I do u n
believe thre would be a monopoly in this
country.
Now I have siigetod two lemedb'S. If
nn.ibody has a better remedy 1 will b
glad to Hiibtltute or udd that remedy lo
the one I propose.

TRENTON, N. .)., Sept. fi. -The New
Jersey tepuhllran stHto convention met to
day to nominate prcsldentl.il electors.
About three-fourths of S2i delegates
eleited were in attendance. Unltd States
Senator Sewell was made temporary and
subsequently permanent chairman of the
convention.
The plaform, nftcr endorsing the plat
form of the Philadelphia convention, re
cites that tho promise of prosperity ns n
result of th re-enartment of protective
tnrirf legislation nnd the maintenance of
gold standard has found fulfillment In n
condition of industrial and commercial
prosperity never before equaled nnd adds
In part:
By tho ulor of our roltllers nnd In the
brief and decisive war with Spain th
admirable tact and wisdom of the nd
mlnlstratlnn of Preddent MeKlnley. In the
novel nnd unprecedented conditions con
fronting us as tho result of the wnr. our
country lias been raised to a most dlgnllled
and commanding position among the na
tions or the eartn. Although confronted
with the gravest emergencies that have
arisen flnce the civil war. the administra
tion of President MeKlnley has assumed
every responsibility nnd ulsihnrgoil every
duty in ii way that has won the appto.al
of patriotic citizens of all partlei.
We believe It Is the duty of the presi
dent of the United States to use all the
forces nt his command to suppress Insur
rection wherever tho authority of the gov
ernment Is opposed und we deprecate nnd
denntinrn the conduct of recreant Ameri
cans, who, by abuse of the right of free
speech, give aid nnd encouragement lo in
surrection nnd rebellion nmong peoples
owing allcglunce to our Hag. When peace
shall have been restored to our new pos
sessions a republican administration will
give to their peonies a government under
such form as will afford them the largest
Individual participation that their civiliza
tion and Intelligence, will ermlt.
Tho platform further commends the
policy of the ndralnlstrntlnn In the east a3
furnishing "an Invaluable base tor tho dis
tribution of our products at the very gato
way of the Orient, vhero a quarter of the
population of tho earth Is being made ac
cessible to civilizing Influent erf and the
needs of commerce."
"Amerlcnn diplomacy," It asserts, "in
spired by Intelligence nnd humanity, has
won not only the respect and admiration
of the world, but also the high compliment
of imitation hy the leading statesmen of
Europe, and. above all, the coufldenco of
tho American people."
After tho nomination of presidential
electors Senator J. C. Burrows of Michi
