Operators Balked Settlement Death of Emile Zola Another Conference. Corner of Wheat Pension Report. New Comet Visible Big Profits of Steel Combine. Saratoga, Oct. 2. The following Is je Democratic state ticket named list Wclnesduy: For Governor Bird 8. Coler of Kings. For Lieutenant Governor Charles N. Ilulwer of Oawogo. For Secretary of State Frank H. dutt of Chautauqua. For Comptioller Charles M. Preston 3f Ulster. For Attorney General John Cun neon of Erie. For Slate Enginor and Surveyor Kichard ,1. Sherman of Oneida. For State Treasurer George R. Finch of Warren. For Associate Ju tge of the Court ot Appeals John Clinton Gray of New York. The Democratic state convention was ra'lcd to order at noon Tuesday liy State Chairman Frank Campbell, who announced the selection of John II. Stanchflcld of Elmira as tempor ary chairman. At tiie rlo.'e of the chairman's speech the U'ti.poiary roll of delegates was read and a commotion was caused when tho delegation from the Ninth district of New York heaclel by Frank J. Goodwin was seated. W. S. Devery's claim for recognition for his ilrleratlon as tho regularly elected one was refer ret to the committee on con tested peats, who reported later In fa vor of unseating both sets of delegates, wi tch was sustained by the conven tion. Tho platform summarized opposes trusts, which injuriously affect con sumer and employe and drive out small manufacturers, and especially condemns the beef and coal trusts for unreasonably depriving the people of tho necessities of life. Am -nilmcnt of the tariff law, by thd placing tho necessities of life on tho free list, is demanded. The Dingley tariff law is condemned as a whole. Picsldeiit Rcevlt Is criticised for dilatory conduct, and Is accused of not wanting to offend the trusts. The platform asserts that the propo sition to amend the United States constitution to enable the federal gov ernment to proceed against the trusts Is a mere subterfuge for delay; con demns the neglect of the national and state a lmlnlstration In enforcing the Sherman law and the Donnelly state law; favors trade expansion, but op poses this country aping England in trying to establish a colonial system condemns the action of the govern ment In It3 treatment of the Philip pines; demands justice for Cuba In trade by a reduction of the tariff to a strictly revenue basis; demands pu!. He ownership of anthracite coal mines by the rii;ht of eminent domain, and the payment of full damages to own ers; anaigns the btate administration for extravagancies In administering state affairs and assorts that the money spent Is scandalously misspent; also that the low tax rate is fictitious; isserts that localitlen have been robbed of money due them from taxes; as serts that the state has usurped the rights cf local flection officers; de clares that a state constabulary bill will be passed if a Republican ticket is elected; approves a l.tHlllton barge canal, and Immediate Improvements; denounces the Republicans for not im proving the roads in a proper manner, and cal's for systematic Improve ments; denounces the present stato excise laws ant cemasds the return of all monies collected to the county whero collected; calls for continua tion of tho purchase of forest lands for preservation of the water supply; de nounces the centralization of the con trol of the care of insane and poor at Albany; sympathizes with the Jews of Roumanla; favors election of Unit.-d States senators by direct vote; favors exemption from taxation of savings bank accounts; condemns the national administration for "trading Judicial po sitions for state aid." Operators Balked Arbitration. The great coal conference betwesn the president and representatives of the operators and miners came to an end with a failure to reach an agree ment. Apparently the rock upon which the conference split was recognition of tho miners' union. The president had urged the con tending parties to cease strife In the In terests of the public welfare; the min ers through tho president of their Inlon had expressed a willingness tj submit differences to arbitration of a tribunal to be named by the president and to enter Into an agreement to abide by terms fixed by the arbitration for a period of from one to five years, and the employers, through tho presi dents of the railroad and coat compan ies and a leading independent mine operator had squarely refused arbitra tion; had denounced the miners' labor organization as a lawless and anar chistic body with which they could and would have no dealings; had de manded federal troops to ensure com plete protection to workers and their families In the mining region and court proceedings against the miners' union, and had offered, it the men re turned to work, to submit grievances at Indivudial collieries to the decision of tho Judges of the court of coaiaion In which the colliery was located. There the matter closed. Both the Vtners and the operators have returned to their several localities, each saying that tho struggle will continue. Another conference over the situa tion was held at the White House Sunday. When the conference adjourned fe minutes bofore 1 o'clock all those who had Joined In It declinol to talk. Every member of the cabinet and Col onel Wright, the only outsider who wa present, were pledged to the president to' absolute secrecy as to what had occurred within the conference room. The utmost efforts were made tc guard against publicity. Just as the presidential summons which called the conference had been made in a very quiet and carefully guarded way. Not since the Spanish war has there been such reticence shown at a conference of such a character as was observed September Wheat Cornered. In the almost uniformly favorable re turns of nine months' financial, com meiclal and industrial operations the only depressing note Is the grow-in; acuteness of the coal situation, which bas passed out of local and state cog nizance and become of national im portance and interest. Failure returns, too, are almost en tirely favorable, the number of embar rassments being the smallest, wltt two exceptions, In 10 years, and the liabilities being the lightest, with oui exception, in 20 years. In the grain markets the feature hat been the successful cornering of Sep temher wheat at Chicago, by which prices were forced up 11 cents addl tlonal this week. This manipulation completed with smaller receipts, much of it of low grade stuff, has tended tc discourage export business. It Is tc be noted, however, that exports thli week are the largest for 13 months. Annual Pension Report. The annual report of the commis sioner of pensions, E. F, Ware, made public shows that the total enrol ment comprises 738.809 soldiers and 260,637 widows and dependents. The aggregate Includes 4,695 pensioner! outsido the United States. The number of death notices of old soldiers, not now in the service, re ceived by the bureau during the yeai was 5K.128; but only 27,043 of them were pensioners. The report says that the death rate among pensioners for the coming yeai will be about 40,000 and the losses tc the rolls from other causes will b about li.ooo. The total aount paid for pensions during the fiscal year wat J137.jiH.2C8, and the yearly cost ot operating and maintaining the bureau and the agencies, outside of the pay ment of pensions proper, aggregate! 3,5D0.529. Sixth Month of Coal Strike. Tho beginning of the sixth month o! the coal strike shows no materia change in the situation. The operators told President Roose velt on Friday that 17,000 men are at work and that 15 per cent of the nor mal coal production Is being mined Mr. Mitchell then denied that such s number cf men are mining coal. H said the operators are Including In the 17.000 all the engineers, firemen and pump runners (of whom there ar about 9,000), Are bosses, foremen, car penters, clerks and all other em ployes. He also denlol that 15 per cent ol tha normal production Is being sent to the market and said if the state ment were true "the operators owe it to the public to sell the coal at the normal prices Instead of charging deal era $15 to $20 a ton." New Comet Visible. Prof. William R. Brooks of Smltli observatory, has had the new cornel discovered by Professor Perrlne ai Lick observatory under frequent oh servations since Its discovery. Wher. last observed it was in the lower pari of Cassiopeia's chair and Is movliif westerly toward the northern part ol Cygnus. Dr. Brooks says the comet li increasing In brightness and Is now about 20 times brighter than at discov cry. On Oct. 6 it will be about 2i times brighter than when first ob served, when It will be a few degree! north of the upper star In the cross ol Cygnus. The comet will not be a brll llant object, but may be seen with the naked eye when well located and n.a be observed with a good field glass 01 small telescope. Funeral of Emile Zola. The funeral of Emile Zola at Parii was a simple but impressive cere mony, such as Zola himself would hav wished, without pomp. Thousands ol workingmen, many accompanied bj their wives, sorrowfully marched be hind the coffin. Former Captain Dreyfus marched in tho funeral cortege, according t the authority of the prefect of police but he passed completely unnoticed by the crowd. A little distance be hind him came Mme. Dreyfus, accom panied by her father. Dreyfus sent I handsome wreath which was placet beside the coffin. G. A. R.

Pa., Oct. 3 Five masked men and desperate burglars aiade a bold attempt to rob the safe of the Montoursville Passenger Rail way company early yesterday morn ing. In a terrific battle with revolvers which followed one of the desperadoes was killed and two others wounded by Engineer Alem Bly, who was shot twice by the robbers. Shortly before 2 o'clock, while En gineer Bly was at work in the power house of the Montoursville Passenger Railway company, he was startled by a terrific crash, caused by the front door being battered In with- a heavy plank. Bly rushed to a desk In which was his revolver, and as he turned to face the intruders he was met with a fusilado of bullets from the revolvers in the hands of five men, who had tho lower part of th-jir face3 covered with handkerchiefs. One of the shots struck Bly In the hip and another made a flesh wound In the thigh. The wounds did not disable him, however, and he levelled his revolver and fired at one of tho burglars, who was several feet In ad vance of the others. The bullet pierced the heart of tho desperado and he fell dead. The en gineer kept firing at the gang, who kept up a continuous fire. Two of them were wounded. After his revolver had been emptied Bly retreated and ran to a nearby factory and aroused the watchman, who sounded an alarm by blowing the factory whistle. While Bly wa9 absent the robbers dragged the body of their dead companion outside the building, where they left It and fled. Up to a late hour no trace of them had been found. The dead man has not been Identi fied. He was 5 feet 9 Incehs tall, weighed probably 175 pounds and was about 35 years old. SUNDAY LAW SET ASIDE. Virginia Railways Will Run Coal Trains on That Day. Roanoke, Va., Oct. 6 The following official statement was given out at the general offices of the Norfolk and Western railway: "Instructions have been Issued to run coal trains on Sunday through the state of Virginia and elsewhere in or der to expedite the shipments of coal for tho relief of communities and in terests suffering and Imperilled for the want cf fuel, and these coal trains will continue to run on Sunday during the existing coal famine." General Manager L. E. Johnston of the Norfolk and Western was seen in reterence to the above and statod this move was necessary on account of tho unusual demand fur coal. The laws of the state prohibit tho r'innins of freight trains on Sunday, but under the circumstances it is thought the action of the railroad will not be construed as a violation of the law. The dally output of coal in the Flai Top and Pocahontas fields along the line of the Norfolk and Western is at present 600 cars or about 24,000 tons per day. The full output of these mines ib 900 cars dally, but tho tracks are so badiy congested now that it is not possible to move more than 600 cars. With tht Sunday movement the Nor folk and Western expects to be able to nod to market 900 cars or 36,000 tons of ccal daily. Sees No Good In It Baltimore, Oct. 6.

STRIKE IN TENNESSEE. frouble Over Payment of Relief As sessments. New York, Oct 7. At the quarterly meeting of the directors of the Ten nessee Coal and Iron Railroad com pany held here, the directors en dorsed the action of the officers of the company in their refusal to acceda to the demands of the striking miners !n the Alabama mines. President D. H. Lacon uf the company said: "The strike now In progress at the mines ot the company is not founded on any differences as to wages or terms or conditions of employment, but is entirely due to differences with in the miners' union, and should be ot short duration. "The trouble aro3e In this way. Some of the miners were willing to pay a dollar apiece a week for the support if the striking anthracite miners and some were not. The men who were willing to pay the money were In a majority, and they made a demand upon the officers of the company that the men who would not pay up to the union should either havo the money taken out of their wages or be dis charge!. The company declines to do this and the strike is on. Tho strike affects us to the extent of about a quarter of our output. "About 3,000 men are cr.t, but we have a large force of convicts at work. Those men will not strike. We hire them of the state, which examines each man, rates him as physically able to do so much work, and charges us accordingly. "These convicts are well treated, getting paid at the regular mining scale of whatever coal they mine above the amount the state rates for each." The quarterly dividend of two per cent upon the preferred stock was voted. Boer Generals In Brussels. Brussels, Oct. 7.
