Leaders of Expressmen May Decide to

New York, Nov. 1. A movement to
slop "o crytlilng on wheels" tnxi
cabs, trucks nnd nil methods of mov

system Is proposed by the executive
bends of the expressmen's strike.
Charles W. Foster, secretary of tlie
International Brotherhood of Toam
Btcrs, announced that u ineetliig will
be liold to decide this question.
There It will be decided If Uie gen
eral strike order, which would tie up
the city so that few men or goods
could move except on street cars, sub
way or elevnted, shall be Issued.
In the meantime Mayor Gaynor, Mr.
Foster said, has agreed to meet n
committee of the strikers at his otll v.
A committee called on hlui to say that
they wanted to protest ngalnst the
presence of policemen on express wag

tion at Forty-seventh street and Madi- I
son avenue, aiioui u smuers
standing In front of the place when a
wagon with the usual iolIce guard
approached. Some one threw a stone,
and Immediately the air was filled
with missiles.
At the first volley "William Iloyt, a
...... v..v
the driver, was hit on the head and
knocked from his seat to the ground. ;
lie was carried unconscious Into the
express station.
The police, mounted and foot, charg
ed the mob, using their long night
sticks freely. Central office detec
tives scattered among the mob also
used their clubs.
With mounted policemen clattering
about the streets driving off riotous
strikers at one point, guarding ex
press wagon drivers nt another spot
and with policemen on foot In clusters
nt nearly every corner wun orawn
iilght sticks, many displaying revolv
ers, the vehicles of the employing com
panies meantime dashing to and fro in
nn effort to avoid showers of rocks
-hurled by the strikers and their sym
pathizers, the strike situation was not
only full of danger and excitement,
but also exceedingly picturesque.
The crowds along Broadway were
frequently treated to the spectnele of
an express nuto or horse drawn wag
on hurrying along nt top speed while
In front galloped two mounted police'
men and two more mounted bluccouta !
brought up the rear.
Scrambling along the sidewalks In
pome instances would come strike sym
pathizers eager to get a chance to
send a volley of stones at the driver
and the police. Then the foot police
men would swoop down on the mis
chief makers, who would melt away
under the menace of night sticks.
WILL SHOOT TO KILL IN BERLIN

Armed Rebellion.
Berlin, Nov. 1. Two trilling disturb
ances occurred following the outbreak
of rioting, but as a rule the city now
wears its uccustomed air of peace and
quiet
After considering the late disturb
ances on the part of the striking butch
ers the authorities decided to act with
n Arm hand, and It was announced that
nny recurrence of the disorders would
be treated as armed rebellion.
The police were ordered to carry car
bines In addition to swords and pistols,
nnd they were told that If a single
shot were fired by the rioters to tell off
ten carbineers, who would shoot first
nt the legs of the disturbers and. If
this proved unavailing, to tell off thir
ty carbineers, with orders to shoot to

WHITE CHALLENGES MOISANT.
English Aviator, Angry at Defeat by
American In Statue of Liberty
Flight, Insist on $10,000 Match
Race Over Same Course.
New York, Nov. 1. Ralph Johnstone
In n Wright biplane made a new
world's record for altitude, flying to n
height of 0,714 feet nt the aviation
meet at llcltnont park. The previous
record was D.1S0 feet, made ntllholins
by M. Wyumnleu last year.
"When Johnstone's barograph had
been read and the figures announced
to 4ho crowd there was a minute or
more of pandemonium. "England gets i
tlln mm lmt Amm-lnn ftinL'oc i tin pnii. I
ords," was the cry of the jubilant
throng, and as many of them as could
get near enough slapped the aviator
on the back and tried to hug him.
While the announcement was being
made of Johnstone's remarkable
achievement J. Armstrong Drexol
landed, and an Inspection of his baro
graph showed that he had climbed
skyward n distance of S,:i70 feet.

A representative of the Moisant
camp said when the challenge was re
peated: "If Grahnme-Whlte means business
and will put up real money Moisant
will cover It."
Later Grahame-White made the chal
lenge olliclal. lie offers to fly Moisant
to the statue of Liberty and return
any afternoon this week. lie claims
that ho Is the only one In the statue

how the meet can be considered clos

The English aviator kept patiently
on through the afternoon giving dem

possible for those to whom he talked
to understand the theory ou which
Grahamo-Whlte held that he should

Qri PENNSYLVANIA
Gibraltar oi Republicanism Will
Be Loyal Next Tuesday. .
STAKE
Dlsaster That Followed Former Demo,
crntlc Victories In This State Re
called. Pennsylvania occupies a unlquo po
sition in tho national political situa
tion. Next Tuesday's election Is of mora
than passing interest Should by any
chance either Grim or Berry ba toot
ed governor, it would bo hailed as a
triumph for the Democracy, as they
aro both Democrats; Grim of tho Guf
fey school of conservatives, aad Berry,
a rampant Bryanito.
The Democrats aro looUIut nhead.
They aro after the national house oi
congress, and they also expect to
make gains In tho United States son
ato. While they would not ordinarily ex
pect to make inroads lnu Uio Republi
can congressional delegu-Ucu from this
state, with the proiectiio tariff a rltal
issue In the comet,'-, tho Dbinocrata
see an opportunity lo lioloai somo Re
publican cougrobalonal candidates
through tho fact thai U.e Keystone
leaders, with Berry at tho haul of tholr
ticket, have placed tho names of a
numbei of Democratic uomineoa for
congress In their column.
Every misguided Koputdlcan who
votes for Berry on the Keystone tlckot
may be unwittingly contributing to
ward the defeat o a Republican candi
date for congress.
Senatorshlp Involved.
It must also bo remembered that the
Koj'Btone ticket contains the uames
of a numb'ar of Democrats for tho
legislature and that the general as-
sombly which mo&ts In Horrlsburg
next January will be called upon to
elect a successor to United States Sen
ator Oliver.
There are reports of possible disas
ter to tho Republican gubernatorial
candidates In several states generally
counted on ae reliably Republican, and
should Pennsylvania fall to stand truo
to her Republican colors next week, a
groat Impetus would be given the na
tional Democracy for tho coming pres
idential election.
Theso facts should not bo overlook
ed: In 1882 Robert Pattisou, Democrat,
was elected governor of Pennsylvania.
In 18S4 Grovcr Cleveland was elect
ed president of tho United StatoB.
In 1S90 Pattison was again chosen
governor.
In 1892 Cleveland returned to tho
White House.
Then followed the Wilson tariff bill.
which closed the mills of Pennsylvania
and sent thousands upon thousands of
wage workers to tho streets begging
for dally bread.
There is littlo difference between
Grim and Berry.
Both are hide-bound Democrats;
either would use tho power of the gov
ernor's office to promote the cause of
DemocracjL no matter if they do be
long to dluerent factions of tho party.
Grlm's ridiculous assaults upon Gov
ernor Stuart's administration and
Berry's erratic course In politics and
finance stamp them both as undesir
able for tho ofTico of gorernor.
Democrats on Lookout
"The Democratic congressional conv
mltteo Is counting upon a Democratio
sweep by tho aid of Grim or Berry
sufficient to overturn tho Republican
party, to gain a dozen members ot
congress, to capture tho legislature
and send a Democrat to the United
States senate," says tho editor of the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
"And let It be confessed right hore,
that If they could succeed In so do
ing Pennsylvania might beg In vain
for any quarter. Her Immense manu
facturing and Industrial industries
would be sacrificed on tho altar of
Democratic theories and her mills and
business houses would meet the same
fate that they did when, under the last
Democratic administration, tho WllBon
tariff brought destitution and bank
ruptcy. "This Is tho condition whicu all Re
publicans must face.
But wo do not bollovo that rent
sylvanla Republicans can bo toaxod
under any pretense whatever Into tho
Grim or Borry Democratic orgunlza-
tlous in sufficient numbers to affect tho
general result It Is truo that In these
closing days a vicious onslaught has
been made upon tho Republican tick
et, nnd especially upon Tenor. But
Pennsylvania has bocomo accustomed
to vIcIoub onslaughts. Four years ago
the most dosplcable kind of a cam
paign was mode against Edwin S.
Stuart but a very great many of his
opponents have lived to bless tho day
whon, In splto of tholr votes against
him, he was elected. Tho Republican
administration has boeu above re-
proach.
"We have no doubt whatever of tho
perfect safety of Pennsylvania Institu
tions undor tho administration of Gov
ernor Toner, nnd wo bollove that Penn
sylvania Republicans by a largo ma
jority think with us."
Republicans of Pennsylvania should
go to the polls and vote the full Ro
publican ticket to insure a magnificent
Taft-Tenar triumph on Tuesday next.
