Edward Elweli., Market Street, tf Bloomsburg. Mi- Ernest Seton-Thompson in Philadelphia The announcement of Ernest Set-on-Thompson's two lectures on wild animals drew very large audiences to Witherspoon Hal), yesterday afternoon and evening, and they were well re paid for going. Mr. Thompson is one of the most entertaining lectures now on the platform. He has a way of putting things, without straining after effect, which captures his audience at the start and holds it to the finish. He has wondeiful powers of narative, and as his lectures are principally composed of stories, mostly drawn from his own experience, they are at tractive for this cause alone, but when illustrated as they are, with camera and pencil, they are a rare treat. from the Public Ledger. Mr. Thompson has been secured for a night in Bloomsburg, Oct. 18. Don't miss him. WASHINGTON. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 8, 1900. The boodle stage of the campaign has been reached, and the head has been knocked out of the Republican batrel. Hanna's recent visit to the Eastern headquarters of the big trusts filled the barrel to overflow ing. In every doubtful state and Congressional district every vote that can be had for money is to be bought. These are not mere asser tions. They are hard facts, of which the Democrats have been warned by Chairman Richardson, of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and by Mr. Richard Croker of New York, both of whom know of the enormous amount of money secured by Hanna, and judge by the way he spent millions in 1896 how he in tends to spend it. It is not easy to prevent some buying and selling of votes among those who are ttnprin cipled enough to engage in such a traffic, but vigilance on the part of Democrats may greatly lessen the number bought and sold, as every state provides a heavy penalty for the crime. There was a noticeable change in the attitude of the Republican managers just as soon as they got the tip that Hanna had all the money he wanted. Instead oftalk ing doubtfully of the result of the elections, both Presidential and Congressional, they began to blow, making the most ridiculous claims as to the number of electoral votes that McKinley will get and the number of Congressmen that will be elected. Representative Rhea, of Va., called at the Post Office Department last week and.filed a vigorous com plaint against the Republican Postmasters in his district, for fail ure to deliver important documents sent him from Washington. He also asked that an inspector be sent to investigate the complaint. He received the same old stereotyped promise that the matter would be looked into, and. judging from the result of similar promises made to the same sort of complaints by Democrats, that will be the last of it, so far as th Republican Post Office officials are concerned. The Republi:au managers are having trouble with Benjamin Harrison. They want him to take the stump, but Ben says he has a throat trouble and can't do it, al though no one has heard that his throat trouble prevented him speak ing in court for any client who is rich enough to pay his big fees. If he won't speaty they want him to write and sign a McKinley plea for publication, but' he may discover that he has pen paralysis, or some thing else, that will prevent his writing, if they don't pnt up a big retainer for him. Ben doesn't like KcKinley or McKinleyism, and if he says anything for either it will be for the usual basis that lawyers briefs are written. Judge George D. Lacy, of South Dakota, who is looking after some business before the U. S. Supreme Court, thinks that his state is abso lutely safe for'Bryanand Stevenson, notwithstanding Boss Hanna's per sonal efforts to capture it, and thus states the reasons for his belief: "The voters in South Dakota are mostly farmers, and farmers, you know, generally look at public questions with a clearer vision than men who dwell in cities. They have time for reflection as they go about their work in the fields. They are not blinded by the glamor of close contact with wealth, nor are their sensibilities dulled by. famil iarty with the sufferings of their fellow men. The inhabitants of cities decide questions upon the basis of expediency, while the farm er weighs them with a judicious mind and gets at the bottom of things. Therefore the farmer is most keenly alive to the danger that lurks in great combinations of wealth that make toward monopoly and it is the fanning communities that Bryan must look for the votes necessary to his election." Mr. McKinley did not come to Washington this time in a partic ular good humor, although he found the Chinese business, of which he has been afraid from the start, apparently coming his way to the extent of getting into the hands ot the diplomats, thus mak ing sure that nothing can happen in1 connection therewith that will have any effect upon the election. He knows Ohio politics pretty well, and the campaign isn't progressing there in a manner that is satis factory to him. He has learned what the Democratic managers have known for some time that the trust issue alone is making thous ands of votes for Col. Bryan among men who have heretofore voted with the Republican party, and he recognizes that the state is in dang er. He has also had disquieting news from Indiana and Illinois, both of which seem in a fair way to go Democratic, if the present drift continues. A personal friend or Mr. McKinley says he is also much chagrinned over his failure to stop Hanna's speech-making, not only because the failure was humiliating, but because he realizes how much harm Hanua's speeches are doing him.

PROBABLE OUTCOME A SETTLEMENT. tletness Prevnlls In the Anthracite Coal nations Miners Pleased at the Prospect of aa Karly Ad justment of Differences. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. O.-rresident Id It cliell Issued hi call yestorday for the much talked of miners convention to con elder the operators' offer of a 10 per cent increase In wages. The convention will be held at Scran ton and will open on Friday next. Rep rescntation In the convention will b on the basis of one delegate with oue vote for each 100 persons on strike. It is the general expectation that the decision of the convention will be to ac cept the increase and return to work. Quietness prevails throughout the an thracite region, the cull for the conven tion being generally accepted as a signal for cesKiitlon ot hostilities nil around. There are many expressions of satisfac tlon by miners and operators nnd by merchants and others in the mining sec tion over the prospects of on early set' tlemcnt of the troubles. Yesterday completed the third week since the strike ollicinlly went into ef fect. The miners will have parades and mass meetings at Shnuiok in todnv and nt Scranton on Wednesday. President Mitchell will be In attendance and is ex pected to speak at both pluces. ADVANCE WILL BE ACCEPTED. It la Considered Mkelr Tlmt Miners Will .ot Hold Oat Losger. HA7.LETON, Pn., Oct. 9.-The issuing of the cull by President Mitchell of the Limed Mine Workers of America for a joint convention of the ffnthracite miners to be held at Scrunton beginning m-xt Friday for the purpose of deciding whether to accept or to reject the 10 per cent net increase In wages offered by the operators U a long step in the direction of bringing the greut coal miners' strike to a close. Genuine satisfaction is ex pressed by both miners nnd persons not directly connected with the coal industry that the contest is approaching an end. Business throughout the eutire nnthrnclte toul field is practically at a standstill, nud it will take some time before normal condition will again prevail. It is believed the convention will not be a long one. as it is expected the strikers will almost unanimously accept the ad vance in wages. There is. however, a possibility thnt by the introduction of a (rroixisition to abolish the sliding scale and another to have the operators agree to a yearly wage contract the termina tion of the strike might be somewhat delayed.
