PENROSE AND BARNETT POPULAR They Will Each Slake a Few Speeches to Help Along the Campaign in Ohio Upon Special Invitation. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Sept. 19.—General Frank Reeder, chairman of the Re publican state committee, is busy get ting the details of the state campaign in shape for an aggressive canvass in the interest of all the candidates on the Republican state ticket. Chairman Reeder has had experience in this line and the work comes quite natural to him. He is familiar with the men actively identified with the party or ganization throughout the common wealth and recognizes that in a cam paign such as he has before him he has but to get the party workers inter ested and they will see that a good vote is gotten to the polls. The Dem ocratic organization In the state is not potential enough to give any Republi can concern as to the outcome of the election. The important duty of the Republican state chairman is to arouse the members of his own party to the true condition of affairs and see that they goto the polls. Chairman Reeder has been in correspondence with Chairman Dick, of the Republican state committee of Ohio, and. as both the campaigns in both the Keystone and the Buckeye states will be con ducted upon the same lines, the Repub lican organizations In these states will work together for the same ends. A BOND OF SYMPATHY. "Republicans of Pennsylvania and Ohio are going to co-operate in their campaign this fall." said I'nited States Senator Penrose the other day,"and they are going to endeavor to make the results of the elections in both states overwhelming victories for the Republican organization and emphatic indorsements of the Republican na tional administration. The elections throughout the country this fall will by their records of Republican tri umphs foreshadow the outcome of the national campaign of next year. Penn sylvania and Ohio are looked upon as certain togo Republican in November by decisive majorities, but the aim of the national leaders of the party is to have these states give expression to the popular approval of President Me- Kinle.v's magnificent administration in an unusually emphatic manner. Noth ing will be left undone to impress the Republicans of the Keystone state and the Buckeye state with the fact that they owe a duty to their party and their eountry at the coming election —to give a glorious indorsement of the national administration. WANT PENROSE AND BARNETT. Senator Penrose has agreed to make a few speeches in Ohio during the can vass, and was yesterday in receipt of a letter from Chairman Dick, of the Ohio Republican state committee, thanking him for his acceptance of the Invitation and notifying him that lie will be advised of the dates upon which they will be pleased to have him visit their state. Lieutenant Colo nel James E. Barnett, of the"Fight- Ing" Tenth regiment, Pennsylvania's Republican nominee for state treas urer, made a very favorable impres sion upon the president and others from Ohio who were in attendance at the reception in Pittsburg to his regi ment on their return home from Man ila. Colonel Barnett was then and there asked if ho would not make two or three speeches in Ohio this fall for the Republican state ticket, and he agreed to do so. State Chairman Reeder has since cordially concurred ! in this arrangement, and he will see that the itinerary for Colonel Barnett's tour of this state will he prepared so that he can slip away for these speech es without seriously interfering with the program for the Pennsylvania campaign. ARE TIES THAT BIND. "There are many ties that bind the people of Pennsylvania and Ohio to gether," remarked Senator Penrose, in commenting further upon these pro posed visits to tho president's state. "Many Ohioans formerly lived in Pennsylvania, while the parents of others were originally Pennsylvanians. President McK in ley's father and moth er once lived in York county, of this state. Both commonwealths have much in common in their industrial, j mineral and business interests. Our campaigns will be fought this year I upon the same lines, and Republicans of Pennsylvania will vie with their ! neighbors across the Ohio border in I making the majorities as great as pos | sible." j Several prominent Republicans from Ohio have accepted invitations to speak In Pennsylvania this fall. 1 HAVE'BEEN SPECIALLY INVITED. Governor Stone Says Pennsylvania's Rep resentatives in the Army in the Philip pines Should Properly Receive the Naval Hero of Manila. (Special Correspondence.) Harrlsburg, Sept. 19.—Lieutenant I Colonel James E. Barnett has received a special invitation from General Roe, j of the New York reception committee, I to have tho Tenth Pennsylvania real meiu, wiiitn rougnc, wim uewey s men In the Philippines, take a place of honor in (lie great parade of soldiers and sailors who will greet the hero of Manila on the 29th inst. This is the only volunteer command oast of the Alleghenles that took part in the campaign in Luzon, and a glorious re ception awaits the brave boys from the Keystone State on their visit to New York. Lieutenant Colonel Bar nett, upon receipt of General Roe's invitation, immediately made a can vass of the regiment, and the reports of the captains of the several companies were unanimous in the desire to con tribute to the celebration in honor of Dewey. Governor Stone promptly in formed Lieutenant Colonel Harnett that he would see that .a supply of arms were loaned the men by the state in order that they might be properly equipped for the parade. CHAT WITH GOVERNOR STONE. "Pennsylvanians are justly proud of •lie Tenth regiment," said the gover nor, "and we are delighted to have them goto New York to represent the Keystone State in this demonstration. While Admiral Dewey was steaming across the seas in the Olympia our boys of the Tenth were also speeding homeward, coming by the San Francis co route, and nothing could be more Sitting than that these gallant repre sentatives of the army in the Philip pines should be on hand to greet tho naval heroes when they first set foot upon their native land once more." A PHILADELPHIA WELCOME. Great preparations, it is understood, are under way in Philadelphia to give Harnett and his boys a royal wel come on their way to New York. Col onel Ralston's Third regiment have invited them to be their guests while in the Quaker City, and the officers of the National Export Exposition pro pose to entertain them and extend them the courtesies of the big show. It in not unlikely that the presenta tion of the bronze Spanish cannon brought by the Tenth from Luzon to the city of Philadelphia will be made by Lieutenant Colonel Harnett during this visit of the regiment. Mayor Ash bridge will present the freedom of the city to the boys of the Tenth in a characteristic and patriotic address. FOR A NATIONAL ISSUE. The Anti-Trust Advocates Will Or ganize For Action. Chicago, Sept. 19.—Anti-trust dele gates lo the National Trust Confer ence took action to make the anti trust movement a national one. V meeting of prominent delegates, in cluding M. M. Lockwood, president of the American Anti-Trust League: Con gressman Sutherland of Nebraska, John I. Yellett of .Maryland and others whs held after the adjournment of the conference and decided to hold n meet ing of anti-trust delegates, pass strong resolutions and plan for making the movement national in scope and to make it the paramount issue in the forthcoming campaign. Prominent anti-trust delegates de clared the movement was in no sense a political one, lint its importance overshadowed all else. The idea of at tempting to force anti-trust resolu tions through the trust conference was abandoned. It was the general opinion that such action would only result in a row, and Colonel Bryan's action in refusing to present his reso lutions for that reason was upheld by bis friends. Tlielr Speeches Cause Comment. Chicago. Sept. IK.—The topic of con versation among all ciasses of people here since the close of the conference 011 the "I'sos and Abuses of Trusts," has centered on the closing speeches of the conference delivered by \V. .1. Bryan and \V. Botirke Corkran. both of which are declared lo have been the most masterly efforts in the line of oratory that have been heard in this city in a long time. Mr. Bryan's speech made it clear that he is now, as lie always lias been, unalterably op posed to trusts anil combinations in all their forms and said that no good ever had nor ever could result from them; that they were the cause of much of the suffering among the poor er classes—a continual obstacle in the path of prosperity among those who labor for their dally bread, and a menace to the general business iuter torests of the country. Mr. Bryan's speech brought forth some remarks from \V. Boui'ke Cock ran In which he tried to make it clear ttyat no monopolies could exist with out governmental favor. The moment a monopoly abused its opportunities, competition sprang up in its own field. "Octopuses" and "crushing mo nopolies" were but [incomprehensible noises, at which people took fright, he declared, and added that if an incom prehensible noise were to occur right then be and all tlx- others would jump out of the windows. The volume of wages is regulated by ttxod laws, lie deelarcd. and lie said it was no Utopian dream that ere an other trust conference rolled around employers and employes would be th ing in peace ami harmony, with the former insisting on the latter joining unions. Both speeches were received with warm outbursts of enthusiasm. Koonester's Loss By KI re. Rochester. Sept. IS. A lire, which started in tho boiler room of the Ira P. Desbro box factory.

Believed in London That Only War Can Settle the Trans vaal Complications. WAR SPIRIT INCREASED. Departure of British Troops for South - Africa Causes Much Speculation Throughout England., Serious Danger ol' an Unauthorized Clash OH the Frontier—Attitude of the Hoers Not Thought Justi fiable to England In Commencing Hostilities. London, Sept. lit.— Wliilo the hope of avoiding .hostilities between (ireat Britain and the Hoers lias undoubted ly diminished, there is still adequate Justification for the widespread beliel in London that war is now inevitable. All accounts agree that the Boer reply to the British demands is tantamount to a refusal. Nevertheless they reck on without the restraining Intluence of British conseieuce. who believe that England's answer will be a declara tion of war or the tiring of a British gun without further preliminaries. The Boers may expect this: in fact, the real danger is that they assume a British intention to immediately at tack them and will seek to forestall the British at sonic frontier point. The war spirit is strong in England, and especially in London, but its strength is exaggerated, both in the press and other public utterances. It is beginning to 1 -«• realized by conserva tive opinion that the remaining issue with the Boer republe will not justify England before the world, or before her own conscience. In striking down a free white people. It may be the in tention of the Salisbury Government, sooner or later, by one means or an other. to add the Transvaal Republic to the British dominions, but it will not be attempted without a better ex cuse than the Boer refusal to grant the outstanding demands. Such an excuse, unfortunately, may be forth coming at any moment. There are plenty of agents of Cecil Rhodes, with other lire eaters, on the Transvaal frontier ready to piovide it even if the Bafts themselves do not. The artificial nature of much of the war excitement both here and at the Cape is becoming more palpable daily. The peace party has no fair repre sentation in the London press. The Manchester Guardian is its only powerful exponent. The itiHuouce of the Chartered Company on the Eng lish press was never so strongly do raonstrated as now. Many Englishmen are puzzled by Sir Alfred Milner's openly bellicose atti tude. His last despatch is nothing less than an appeal to the Government to proceed to extreme measures im mediately. This is an open espousal of the war party's cause, and deeply disappoints many of Sir Alfred's friends, who have heretofore had un limited confidence in liis prudence, conservatism and toleration. The public excitement in London is fed by the enthusiastic farewell to de parting troops, and the long series of war office announcements of fresh preparations for war. The patriotic thrills aroused by reading these stern orders were turned to pathos by this accompanying circular, signed by the Secretary of War: "It lias been no tlceed that a predominant fashion ex ists for young officers to shave the up per lip. This is much to be regret ted." The order proceeds to request the superior officers to take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that the Queeu's regulations are observed. The latest news from South Africa eoulirnis tin; statements made by the Cape Town correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette in regard to the willing ness of the Transvaal Government to grant the seven years' franchise, pro vided it is not regarded as a pre cedent. and the appointment of a joint commission of inquiry. It is Negative and Conclusive. London. Sept. 18.—'The reply of the Transvaal Government to Mr. Cham berlain's latest note covers nine pages. It is eminently of the "negative and inconclusive" character which Mr. Chamberlain declared would compel the Imperial Government to consider the situation afresh, it practically re pudiates suzerainty, reverts to the seven years' franchise, and declines to' give equality to the Dutch and Eng lish lanquages in the Volksraad. In short, it is negative and dctiaut politely. The full text may not be available for a day or two, but it will not change the aspect of affairs.
