PRESIDENT SHAFFER OF THE
AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION
MORE THAN HOPEFUL.
«.By Associated Press.)
Pittsburg, July 9.—As the result of the
conference between President Shaffer of
the Amalgmated Association and War
ner Arms, representing the combine in
terests, last evening, the Wellsville trou
ble, which yesterday threatened to un
do all that had been done toward af
fecting a peaceable settlement of the
strike, was not referred to today, and
everything now points to amicable ad
justment of all differences at the gen
eral conference arranged for next week.
President Shaffer saysj he considers the
questions to be considered at the confer
ence to be most grave, and for that
reason he thought it best to call in the
general executive board, composed of the
highest officers of the association, in
stead of consulting with the conferees,
who usually meet to consider such ques
tions.
This fe|«ird has only been called togeth
er once btfore, and that was during the
trouble at the Woods plant at McKees
port, last April.
"I am satisfied the trouble will bé set
tled at this meeting," said President
Shaffer. "There seems to be a spirit of
fairness pervading those to whom I have
,talked officially on the subject. The
meeting w'lll be held for the signing of
the scale for the mills as a whole."

Denver, July 9.—The action of the
president in proclaiming the opening for

The present condition of the banks
stands out in strong contrast against
the dark backgorund of the condition
that prevailed some seven or eight years
ago.
In 1893, for instance, the record of bank
failures was reached when 38 of the na
tional banks went permanently into the
hands of receivers.
During the first six months of the
present year only seven banks have fail
ed, while during the entire year of 1900
only five went under.
condition. To secure such a delay, If
possible, the following telegram was
sent to Secretary Hitchcock Saturday
night:
"Hon. E. A. Hitchcock, Secretary of
the Interior, Washington: Live stock
interests in west and southwest will be
seriously affected unless proclamation
opening Kiowa and Comanche reserva
tions can be delayed until herds imma
ture and rattle can be shipped to market.
Or- behalf of live stock industry I re
spectfully petition for such delay.
"JOHN W. SPRINGER, President Na
tional Live Stock Association."
The telegram evidently arrived too late
to have any effect, but every pressure
will be brought to bear on Secretary
Hitchcock to prevent losses to the stock
men.
Consul General Esteves thinks that a
filibustering expedition Is soon to be
started for Venezuela.
Pietri came here two weeks ago and Is
living at Harlem. Hernandez has just
reached here on the steamer Caracas.
He went at once to the office of Consul
General Esteves and said he was looking
for work. Senor Esteves promised to
help him in his search.
In the meantime detectives have been
employed to watch the young man who
went to live at the house at which Pietrl
is staying. Consul General Esteves says
he has detectives watching Andrade and
Fernandez also and that a sharp watch
will be kept for filibustering parties.
General Juan Pletri is mentioned as
the leader of the revolution in Venezuela
if one is started.

(By Associated Press.)
Vancouver. B. C„ July 9.—The Japanese
are now in control of the Fraser river.
They won a fight during the night, but
it was a bloodless victory, through the
clever tactics of the Japanese.
About 3,000 Japanese spent the night in
fishing. The union men organized a pa
trol of boats, manned by whites and In
dians.
The Japanese, however, had also or
ganized a patrol, comprising a much
larger number of boats, including the
largest and fastest fishing boats in the

Each Japanese boat contained from
eight to ten armed Japs whereas the
union boats held each only half that
number.
Whenever a union patrol boat went
near the Japanese ground several Jap
anese surrounded it and awed the occu

Causes a Split.
(By Associated Press.)
London, July 9.—On consideration of
the committee's report on the transub
stantiation declaration in the house of
lords last night, the Archbishop of Can
terbury complained that the Episcopal
bench had no voice in amending the
declaration and moved its reference back
to the committee and the appointment
of two additional members.
Earl Grey decided that the revised
form was even more offensive than the
original. The lord chancellor denied this,
his opinion being that everything ob
jectionable had been stricken out.
Lord Lanaff said tlie committee had
missed a great opportunity of removing
an ancient grievance. Salisbury advised
allowing the bill to be read a second
time so that it could be discussed In
committee. This course was eventually
adopted.
It is believed that owing to the di

that the Royal Insurance company of

This is the fire which resulted from the

The policy of the company contained
a clause that insurance e.hould not be

OUTLOOK DARK FOR
CALIFORNIA WINES
(By Associated Press.)
San Francisco, July 9.— P. C. Rossi,
president of the Italian-Swlss colony,
who has just returned from an extended
trip to all the principal eastern cities,
brings a surprisingly gloomy report of
adverse conditions menacing California
wines in the markets of the east.
Mr. Rossi says that California
wines have reached a selling price which
makes imitation profitable, and this is
being extensively done in the "brick
vineyards" of New York, Ohio and Mis
souri. Their product is mixed with Cal
ifornia wines and sold as coming from
this state.
A national pure wine law, in Mr. Ros»
si's; opinion, is the only remedy for this
condition of affairs.
hut Mr. Broderick has a safe refuge In
silence.
A parliamentary paper issued last
night, relating to the peace negotiations,
demonstrates that the Boer forces are
in a very perilous state and that the
burghers are only kept in the field by un
blushing perversions of Lord Kitchen's
terms and extravagent fables of Boer
success.
The most notable instance of the lat
ter are DeWet's statement that Capf
Colony 1ms risen to a man against th«
British and that in proceeding to invade
the colony he killed Gen. Knox.
Other veracious statements are that
the czar had received a Boer deputation,
introduced by Dr. Leyds, and thaj
France was ready to land troops in Eu»
gland on Nov. 1.
The assurance given by Mr. Krugel
that he had made arrangements in Eu
rope by which the safety and comfort
of the women and children in the refuge*
camps would be assured had consider
able influence with the Boer leaders ilk
deciding to continue the fight.
gation of the footprints at the scene of
the crime show that the shoes worn by
Jensen fit the marks exactly.
The police believe Jensen is the guilty
man and that he committed the numer
ous assaults made upon women of late.
In the course of hi^ examination at po
lice headquarters. Jensen confessed that
he assaulted Jessie Kinport and also
said that he stabbed another woman las,t,
night near the end of the Cuiversity
Park car line.
This morning the dead body of Mrs.
Armenia A. Buliis was found at the
place described by Jensen. She had been
s,tabbed in the breast and the blade of
the knife had penetrated her heart, caus
ing instant death. .
The body lay in the roadway and there
was no evidence of a struggle. Jenson
said the woman "was after" hint with
a gun. when he stabbed her. Mrs. Buliis
conducted a dairy farm near where she
was murdered.
Chief of Police Armstrong says that
Jensen is undoubtedly a lunatic.
