Stained black soft tint and a tie that had
seen much service. But his fuce glowed
as he grasped Mr. Croker's hand, and he
looked the picture of health and spirits.
Mr. Bryan held an informal reception
in the parlor of his suit at thu IIofYuinn,
House and was then escorted to thu din
ner in the Moorish room.
Before he went to dinner Mr. Bryan
tarried in his apartment for a few min

Brooklyn, presented to him a gold headed
eane voted to him at a fair of the chinch.
Holding the cane in his hand, Mr. Bryan
tald:
"I do Dot as a rule use a enne, but if I
do as much work in the next few years
as I have in the last few years I will
have need for one. If I should be for
tunate enough to succeed this full, this
cane will be at the White House, where
the members of your tlock may at any
time have the pleusure of seeing it."
Mr. Bryan spoke to lurgu and enthu
siastic audtenuet iu four different plueea

SCRASTON RESOLUTIONS UJ50TICED
Operators Opposed to Any Iternjtnl
lon nt the Miners' I nliin In Their
Transactions Strikers Think
fompnnlrs Will Yield.
WILKESBAURE, Pa., Oct. 17.-The
representatives of the coal carrying com
panies here have beeu in communication
with headquarters in New York regard
ing the settlement of the miners' strike.
The resolutions adopted by the Scranton
convention were mailed to all the coal
companies and individual operators.
They all bore the seal of the United
Mine Workers organisation, nml there
was a request that a prompt reply to the
communication would be thankfully re
ceived. The communication still remains on the
desks of some of the coal companies un
opened. The reason for this Is some
of the operators do not want to commit
themselves in any way as recognizing the
miners' union.
To enter into any negotiations with the
officers of the organization would, In the
PRESIDENT MITCHELL.
opinion of the operators, be an admission
that the operators recognized the union.
One operator said last uight: "Once we
enter Into correspondence with the Unit
ed Mine Workers we are going to have
the same trouble the operators iu the
bituminous region have. There will be
nothing but correspondence all the time,
and the owners of a mine will not know
whether they are running It or the Unit
ed Mine Workers are running it for
them."
The strikers here profess not to be dis
couraged with the outlook. They say
eventually the companies will give in and
the men will be ordered back to work.
CALL FOR TROOPS DENIED.

tal! Strikers Itrtnrn.
IIA7.LETON. Pu., Oct. 17. The re
port that Frank Pardee, manager of the
Calvin Tardee & Co. colliery at Cran
berry, had requested the governor to send
troops Into Luzerne county is not exactly
correct. Mr. Pardee denied that he had
done so, but said he and Governor Stone
had talked on the advisability of having
soldiers in this region. It is Mr. Par
dee's belief that if troops were stationed
here It would have considerable effect in
the way of keeping the peace and pre
venting marches. Mr. Pardee added that
the governor told him he would refer the
matter to Brigadier General Gobin, who
is now on duty iu Schuylkill county.
Y'csterday was exceedingly quiet around
the headquarters of the United Mine
Workers. President Mitchell spent most
of the day In disposing of the mnil which
had accumulated during the miners' con
vention last ween. Mr. Mitchell said he
bad received no communication or even
an Intimation that the operators would
accept the proposition made by the con
vention. It wus loug after nightfall when the
last of the strikers who marched to the
Panther Creek valley returned. They
were for the most pnrt footsore aud
weary. The distance of 18 miles from
Hazletou to Coaldale is principally down
grade, and the walk there was scarcely
noticed by the enthusiastic strikers. The
up hill march back home, however, with
the added facts of a sleepless night and a
failure to accomplish their purpose, tend
ed to dampen their ardor somewhat.

A DEATH DEAD NQ STORM.
Three Killed and Several Injured lr
Collapse of a IIuIIiIIiik.
NEWARK. X. J Oct. 17. Tin storm
late yesterday afternoon struck this place
with frightful force and caused the death
of three men, fatal injuries to at Ica&t
two others aud aerioiiKly injured three
more. When the storm came up, these
men were ut work on the new buildiiiK
of the Mairu Linoleum works. The build
in If was to have been a brick structure.
It had frontnges of 100 and 120 feet.
The brick work had been carried to a
height of 50 feet, nnil the iron nnd steel
girders for the Moors and roof had been
put in, but the windows had not been put
in place, aud the roof was not covered.
1 he men were employed by John F.
Lay, a contractor of this city, mid were
engaged in taking down the Bcuflolding
inside and outside of the building. When
the wind hit tho building, it rushed
throiiKh the openings and formed a whirl
wind inside the walls, and in a moment
the whole collapsed like an eggshell, and
very few of the bricks remain in the po
sition they were.
All four walls went down with a crash.
and the nine men were burled under tho
uvulanehe of brick and steel. Rescuers
were quickly nt work, the dead bodica
taken out and the Injured removed to a
hospital.
