the place where they were bathing at a high
speed, pushing before her a large wave.

SWIMMING MATCH IN A MUDDY POOL
BETWEEN A POLICEMAN AND
A YOUNG MAN.
It took ten Hoboken policemen an hour yesterday
to catch a youth made Insane, it Is said, by the
excessive emoklng of cigarettes. The greater por
tion of the time a policeman was swimming about
in muddy water chasing the young man. A pool
Of water, a result of Saturday's cloudburst, formed
In a lew-lying piece of land at Eleventh-st. It Is
about the size of two city lots, and probably eight
feet deep.
A boy ran into the Second Precinct station house
and Informed Sergeant Ross that a man was
drowning himself in tne pool. The sergeant sent
Patrolmen Sullivan and Murphy to the scene.
They found the young man apparently trying to
end his life. Patrolman Murphy weighs something
over three hundred pounds. He waded into the
pool up to his waist and tried to get the young
man out, but he refused to be caught. He would
swim out to the middle every time the officer
entered the water. The patrolman, who is a power
ful swimmer, took off his uniform and plunged in.
The officer was not able to get hold of the youth.
The patrolman was handicapped by his weight, and
the youth was the better swimmer. When cor
nered he would dive under the officer and emerge In
the middle of the pool.
Word was sent for more help, and eight more
policemen were sent. Then Murphy went in again.
The chase continued for forty minutes more. The
officer was pretty well blown and exhausted when
the young man was induced to leave the water.
He refused to leave while the officers and the
crowd surrounded the pool. The officers then dis
persed the crowd, and when the young man saw
the way open he ran ashore and started up the
Erie Railroad track. He was run down by nine
of the officers. Murphy, when he came out of the
water, bad to be taken to the skating rink near by,
and there a hose was turned on him to get the mud
off. The youth who caused the trouble proved to
be John Woods, twenty-one years old. He had no
home. Police Surgeon Arlitz examined him and
pronounced him probably insane from cigarette
smoking. He was locked Up pending a formal ex
amination.

enough explosive to rip the outside covering apart
and release the man inside, who drops by means
of a parachute.
When Stevens ascended from the park at 10
o'clock last night he had his apparatus, with a
lot of the explosive, in an old shooting gallery.
He left it in charge of Benjamin Benjamin and
Fred Deal*. With them were George Harrison

cigarette and threw the match aside. It landed
In the box which contained the explosive and
caused it tO go off. Th*> flash burned Deal* badly.
Harrison and Dooiejr were hit by pieces of the
broken box. and Benjamin was slightly hurt In a
similar manner. The explosion also badly damaged
some of the apparatus stored near by. Deale was
removed to the North Hudson Hospital, where he
will be kept a few days.
The crowd in the [.ark mad* a rush for the scene
of th«» explosion, and the police had a difficult Job

only by forming a bridge over Deal* did they
prevent him from being crushed to death. In the

In considerable quantities. They import them,
however, from England and Germany, and not
from this country.
The Paraguayans, Mr. Ruffln says, are a nation

they need. Mr. Ruffln will be at the A«tnr House

NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. MONDAY. AUGUST 26. 1901.
MOKE MILLS TO OPEN.
STEEL OWNERS PREPARING TO RUN
WORKS WITH LARGER FORCES
—A QUIET DAY.
Pittsburg, Aug. 25.— Some remarkable changes
in the strike ridden mills of the United States
Steel Corporation are promised for the present
week, that will change the aspect of affairs con
siderably if carried out. It was stated on good
authority to-day that before the end of the week
those of the plants that have been operating on
single turn would be run with full force, and for
the usual three full turns each day. Men enough
have been secured for this purpose, the officials
pay. in spite of the claims of the strikers that
the companies could not get enough men to
operate their plants, and the managers of the
various mills say they will be ready with all the
skilled men required to start up the machinery
and turn out a heavy tonnage.
The most interesting situation is In the Star
mills of the American Tin Plate Company, In
Twelfth-**. This plant was until this summer
considered as doomed. The tlnplate company
had, it is said, decided to abandon the mill and
move the machinery elsewhere. Since the strike
has come, and It was demonstrated that the
operation of the mill with non-union men was
possible under the protection of a well equipped
police force, the officials decided to keep this
mill, make extensive Improvements in its equip
ment and make it a permanent fixture of the
company. The most significant feature of this
plan has been carried out in the last week. Thle
consists of fitting the mill in the same manner
as that of the plant in Monessen. Perm. The
former eight mills have been changed to four
double mills. Other improvements have been
added that will give the plant a larger capacity,
increase its force of men and make it one of the
most modern of all the tin plants of the company.
STAR MILLS TO OPEN THIS WEEK.
With the completion of these Improvements
the company will be prepared to place a suf
ficient number of men in the plant to work the
four double mills three full turns. This is said
to be expected to take place in the present week.
Before Saturday, according to Superintendent
Piper of the Star mills, the plant will be op
erated to Its full extent.
Referring to the present condition of the mills.
Mr. Piper said:
We received eight skilled men early this morn
ing Mr. J. R. Phillips, of the company, accom
panied the men to the mill, f«n'l it was not until
after they were comfortably settled for the
night that the strikers discovered their presence.
These men are of the best In the trade, and will
enable us to move the plant on a better basis
than before.
Outside of the Star plant to-day there wns a
large number of strikers on picket duty. They
were quiet and orderly, but had their -yea and
cars open for any signs of newcomers. The
peculiar feature of the strike about the Star
plant Is the good feeling displayed between th«
strikers and the managers of the plant. There
are no signs of bitterness up to the present time,
and when Superintendent Piper left 'he build
ings early this morning he met the strikers und
laughed good naturedly nt them. He laid to the
anxious pickets: "I had more fun In getting
those last men Into the plant than at a game cf
checkers."
STRIKERS DENY STATEMENTS.
When the strikers were tnld of the statements
of the officials of the Star mills, they denied
that there were SO many skilled men at work as
whs f aid. They all-Red that those who were in the,
plant were s<*nt there from the Mon«"*»«>n plant,
which was being crippled in ord»r to accomplish
this work. Strenuous d'-sMIs were also mad* re
garding alleged desertions from the Amalgamat
ed ranks to fill the places offered by th* cor
poration, and it was said that It would be Im
possible to obtain men enough to operate the
plant without settling the strike
There was no change In the situation regard
ing the tube mills to-day. The mills were all
quiet, and the former employes remained away
from the plants. It Is understood that the offi
cials of the National Tube Company have prac
tically determined not to start these plants for
the present.
Everything at McKeesport Is reported quiet.
! Pickets are around the r>»-mmler tinplate mill in
i large numbers, but they are orderly and are de
termined to be on hand all night, as they be
lieve an attempt will be made to start the plant
in the morning. While the fires are lighted and
th" mill apparently In readiness for a start. It
was impossible to get any of the officials to
i name the exact time when the attempt will be
I made.
STRIKERS MA KE COXCESSIOX-
CIVIC FEDERATION TO ACT AS MEDI
ATOR IN SETTLING THE DISPUTE.
Pittsburg. Aug. 25.— 1n furtherance of the
"peace" programme which Is said to have been
In the course of preparation for several days. it
was given out to-day by one on the Inside, and
one who should know, that the Amalgamates
executive officers have consented to have certain
propositions made to the officials of th»» United
States Steel Corporation, through members of
the conciliatory committee of the National civic
Federation. These proposals are expected to
bring about a settlement of the great strike.
Those Interested In the matter were waiting all
day to-day for word to proceed with the pro
gramme as outlined] nt the conference of the
Amalgamated executives and the conciliatory
committee of the Civic Federation last Friday.
The propositions which are to be taken to
New- York carry certain concessions by the
Amalgamated officials which, it Is hoped, will
pave the way for the reopening of direct nego
tiations between the association and the com
pany. The- propositions Include terms under
which President Shaffer and his advisers stand
Willing to settle the strike. What the terms
are, and Che manner of their presentation are
carefully guarded aecreta. There is only the
Implication that they contain concessions of
mien Importance that those Interested expect
the corporation to drop its adverse attitude and
reopen negotiations'.
The proposal contains nothing looking to ar
bitration. This mode of settlement was waived
on the advice of the Civic Federation men.
While the conferred: were discussing peace
plans, to the Amalgamated men was shown the
impracticability of sympathetic strikes by the
miners and other organised men affiliated With
the American Federation of Labor.
The action of President Shaffer in abrogating
the wage contract» with the Federal Steel Com
pany covering its Western mills and In other
instances was questioned. Messrs. Mitchell,
White and Jenks spoke of the importance of
Btrict observance of wage agreements as con
tracts by the labor unions. President Shaffer
maintained his position to the satisfaction of
most of the conferred*.
It has been reported that the conferrers disap
proved the move in abrogating the Federal Steel
Company contracts, and told President Sh Ufer
bo with unmistakable emphasin. Of this, how
ever. Secretary John Williams said to-day that
during the conference he had heard no adverse
criticism by the Civic Federation conferrees on
the attitude of President Shaffer in this matter
of contract*.
MACHINISTS STILL PICKETING.
Chicago. Aug. 25.— Striking machinists at the Al
ii* Chalmers and the Gates Iron works continued
picketing the plants to-day, despite the temporary
injunction Issued by Judge, Kohlaaat. Pickets
abounded at both plants during the day, and It is
reported that live Imported machinists employed
nt the Gates works, who ventured outside the
plant, were waylaid and severely beaten by friends
of the strikers. Former Governor John P. Alt
geld has been asked to flcht the Injunction on the
part of the strikers, but. It Is said, has refused to

MILLS GAINING WORKERS.
CORPORATION REPORTED NOT EAGER TO
END THE FIGHT.
[BT TELEGRAPH TO TUB TRIBUNE. 1
Pittsburg. Aug. 25. — number of men in
the steel plants that have been in partial opera
tion for the last week was materially increased
to-night. The Painter mill In particular bears
the apeparance of full operation, while the
Clark. Lindsay & McCutcheon and the lower
Union mills are running with forces practically
full. The recovery of these mills is depressing
the strikers, in spite of the successes at the Na
tional. Pennsylvania and Continental Tube
Works, the strongholds of non-unionism for
years.
The Amalgamated officials do not deny that
they are expecting peace, and under terms that
will be satisfactory. It is denied that Prtsldent
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers and Pro
fessor Jenks. of Cornell, are Interesting them
selves in the cas». but other sources of In
formation equally authoritative state that these
men are In the front of the movement to end
the strike.
A representative of the Steal corporation,
whose name for obvious reasons cannot be given,
makes the positive statement hero that the
steel corporation docs not want to hunt for
terms of settlement; that the corporation does
not greatly care to oettlo the. strike, us a mat
ter of fact, preferring the fight to go to a finish
to determino the relative power of the two Mid--*.
He said bluntly that since the fight la on the
steel corporation proposes to place itself In
the position from which it will r>« Impossible
to be again attacked by the Amalgamated As
sociation. Th« power of the association is to
be broken, and broken so thoroughly that it will
never again Interfere with the United States
Ste»-1 Corporation. Thin man said he was not
authorized to make public such a statement,
but that that was the attitude of the steel cor
poration. Th» Intention la to defeat the Amal
gamated Association so decisively that it will
not hunt for another fight.
The effort to strike the big Duquesr.e plant
seems to have failed through the watchfulness
of the management and other Influences that
have been barely hinted at recently. There have
been rumors that certain of th.- Amalgamated
Association members In the Duqueane plant are
acting In the Interest of the steel corporation,
and are keeping the mill managers closely In
formed of all thai I.* being planned. This may
acount for the postponements in the time of
the strike at Duquesne. The association leaders
continue to assert that the Puquesne mill will
strike under orders^ and the moral effect of a
strike at Duquesne Is counted upon as a factor
of tremendous Importance to the strikers. The
Idleness of th» Homestead plant would follow.
PLEAS AND THREATS AT CHICAGO.

HIT TELEGRAPH TO TIM mum 1
Chicago. Aug. Epithets ami Invectives ap
plied to the steel workers In South Chicago were
mingled with persuasive pleas to the men to
strike by the speakers at an open meeting
held at second at. and Commervlal-Rve.
to-day. The demonstration was planned ai a
llnal attempt by Vice- President Davis to in
duce the men to abandon th<* position which rail
caused their expulsion from the Amalgamated
Association, and the failure of the steel workers
to attend the meeting evidently irritated t lit*
speakers. Epithets of "Judas" and "Benedict
Arnold" for the men who "had stabbed their
friends in the back" alternated with admonitions
to members of other unions present to exert all
their Influence with the absent steel workers
and their families to urge them to reconsider
their action.
While one speaker declared their desertion
would have no perceptible Influence on the
present strike, another asserted that a failure
to join their Eastern companions would prove
a deathblow to the Amalgamated Association.
Michael l" Tlgh*. W. C. Davis, Mrs. Emma
Lamphere and Samuel D. Nedrey, organizers
for the American Federation of Labor; H. J.
SVcefTington. of the boot and show workmen;
Robert Collins and James 11. Howman. president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor, were the
speakers in vindication of the course taken nnd
the first attitude of Vice-President I>avls. The
eulogies applied frequently to Mr. Davis evi
dently were appreciated by their recipient, who
applauded vigorously ail compliments to himself.
The absence of the representatives of the
Joltet and Bay View plants testify to the solidity
of their ranks In those cities, and caused much
comment. Although a dozen members of the
union were In South Chicago <ir > the previous
evening, none could be seen In the hull during
the meeting. After adjournment a long, con
sultation between Secretary Tlghe, Mr. Davis
and the men was held, which may result In
Mi. departure of the Amalgamated officers for
those points to-morrow.
The meeting was called to order shortly after
2 o'clock, about five hundred persons being pres
ent. The majority of the attendants were mem
bers of the labor unions of South Chicago, while
many of the residents had been attracted
through Curiosity. Six of the steel workers who
1,:,,! refused to obey the order of President Shaf
fer occupied seats, and apparently were un
moved b"y the denunciations or appeals of the
speakers. _

EXPOSITION'S SUCCESS.
LAST WEEK'S ATTENDANCE THE LARO
EST OF THE YKAIt
.PREPARATIONS FOR THE PRESIDENT'S
VISIT AND FOR NEW-YORK DAY.
[BT TELEr.nAPH TO THE THIBCXE.I
Buffalo. Aug. 25— Plainly the Pan-American Ex
position is winning the favor of the country. The
attendance Is Increasing, and last week's was the
largest for any week since the great fair was
opened.
While the exhibits were all Installed two months
ago, there has been an Increased Interest Im
parted to certain departments by changes In them.
For Instance, the Horticultural Building now con
tains with each additional week a finer and finer
exhibition of the fruits Of th» various States.
Fruit of a tropical nature arrive* weekly from
California and Florida, and the Northern States
c' the T'nlon are constantly renewing and Im
proving their supply of apple*, plums, -peaches
and other examples of fall fruits. Tlm Interior of
th» building is redolent with the attractive per
fuma of these fruits and of flowers. The Horti
cultural Building la naturally crowded nt all times
with farmers and their wives, but thousands of
city residents .:-¦> visit the building dally and In-
Bpect the exhibits with great Interest.
Additional Interest also has been given to the
exhibits In th- Electricity Building by the ex
hibition of new appll-ations of the use of elec
tricity as an Illuminative or as a motive power.
Tlm practical uses of electricity, as ¦well as the
experimental are shown In a large number of
recently invented electrical machines. The Elec
tr!. iii Building, as a consequence. Is constantly
crowded. No man receives more attention In this
building than one who by direction of th«
directors of the entrrprlse. gives an explanation
of th» processes used In illuminating th-> buildings
of the n MMttfcnn This illumination of the elec
trical tower and of outlines Of .ill the other build
ings at the fair is. by general consent, the most
beautiful spectacle ever witnessed at such an ex
hibition. The lecturer In the Electrical Building
tells of the origination of the electrical fluid by
the power of the Niagara River at Niagara Fall?,
and t»r>n goes on to give Information about volts,
amperes and transformers. "The electrical power
Js turned on." said an exposition officer to-day,
"by putting a steel billet In water."
Changes ;->; -> have taken place In the Agricultural
Building which seem to Interest the multitude.
Here all kind* of specimens of wheat, corn and
oats are shown. The exhibits of tropical countries
,i:. varied and curious, and therefore are examined
with c.iro by many persons. Residents of Eastern
cities look with evidently great Interest upon th.->
pictorial exhibit:} of the enormous wheat fields of
lIM Northwest. "That's where our bread comes
from." oaM a New-York City resident the other
•;••>. looking .it a depiction el a North Dakota
wheat flold. rod his companions appeared to agree
with him.
One of the buildings which Is constantly crowded
i.« that of the Unlttd States Government. Most
people who visit It express the opinion that the
exhibit made by In* general government In this
ball. ling li much more extensive and much more
Interesting than that made by It at the World's
Fair at Chicago In 1593. One exhibit here which Is
row attracting universal attrition is that of the five
models of urn warships of the nation which took
part in the great naval battle off Santiago. The
New-York heads the column, and beyond It are the
Texas, the lowa and the Oregon. Then comes
the Brooklyn. Further along are models of the
Olympla. 'he Baltimore, and other vessels of Ad
miral Pewey's squadron at the battle of Manila
Bay. Another point of Interest In the T'nited
Stales Government Building I" the representation of
life In the Philippine Islands, the houses of the
natives, their carts and the costumes worn.
THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT.
When President McKtnley arrives her», on the
evening of September I. the- United States Govern
ment Building will naturally become still more a
subject of Interest, since it will be substantially
ate headquarters while In attendance at the ex
hibition. President McKlnley will be accompanied
here by Mrs McKinley. Dl and Mrs. Blxey and
other members of hi* household. They will be met
at the New-York Central station by a military
escort and conducted In carriages to the house of
John G. M.l v >itrrv president of th.* exposition com
pany who nil given i p his home for the period of
the President's stay here t-» his exclusive use.
On September •• th»» President will be escorted to
the exposition ground! by a body of mounted
troops and will be met at the Lincoln Tarkway
gat» l.v two regiments Of the National Guard, the
military forces of the I'nlted States Government
hero and the United States Marine Band. A pro
fession will be formed, and the President will be
