A HARD FIGHT AHEAD.
Steel M:ignat s Will Make Desperate
Efforts o liun Their Mills.
WELLSVILLE SITUATION A CRITERION.
Kb Overtures .Made by Klther Pnrly
to the Contest Looking to a
Settlement President
Muttler talks.
Pittsburg, July 19. While WellH
vllle, Ohio, was the pivotal point
around which Interest In the great
Btrlke was concentrated Thursday, on
account of the large mass meeting
held ther?. two more points are on
the map now to which all those Inter
ested In the strike are looking. These
points are Vandergrlf and Duncansr
ville, Pa. At WellBvllle, the situation
practically remains unchanged, or if
there is a change at all. It Is in favor
of the mills going shortly into full op
eration. Manager Smith claims to
have 40 men at work and he says he
will have a complete-force by .Monday.
This may be a sanguine statement on
his part and the Amalgamated people
express great doubts that It will be
realized.
Developments nt Duncansville are
anxiously watched. A delegate from
this city went there with the intention
of organizing the combination, and if
he succeeds they will all go out, which
means that every plant of the Ameri
can Steel Hoop company will be Idle.
The delegate to organlzethe men went
to Duncansville at the request of some
of the men and this lends color to the
assertion that the Amalgamated asso
ciation will be successful in closing
the mill. Down at Vandergrlf the sit
uation is still favorable to the com
pany, and although the Amalgamated
people are" not leaving a stone unturn
ed to get -the men to join them, their
efforts so far have not met with any
great success, and the result is that
the p)ace is now in a state of great
unrest and expectancy.
At the Painter and Lindsay and Mc
Cutcheon mills, the only signs of life
were the few hands engaged at re
pairs and an occasional watchman
listlessly pacing his beat about the
property. There was nothing for him
to do, as the strikers are religiously
obeying the advice of their leaders
and are keeping away from the mills.
No efforts have been made to Induce
the stilkers here to return to work
beyond the posting of notices regard
ing the men In the forge department,
and the strike leaders assert that the
men will not pay the least attention
to the notice. That those who may
be weak-kneed, may be strengthened,
however, arrangements are being
made for a monster labor meeting at
White's opera house Saturday night.
President Shaffer Talks.
President T. J. Shaffer said that no
overtures have been made by the
United States Steel corporation, look
ing to a settlement of the strike. He
said he had not any communication
whatever, either with President C. M.
Schwab or J. Pierpont Morgan, since
the strike was declared. He said he
was waiting for something to trans
pire, and that he would not be the
first to make overtures. When asked
as to what course he thought the man
ufacturers would adopt in fighting the
workers, Mr. Shaffer said that he
thought the Wellsvllle situation wan a
sufficient answer to this question. It
Ib seen by this that the strike leader
expects a hard flght and that he
thinks the manufacturers w.ill make an
effort to run their mills with nonunion
men before they ask for a conference.
President Shaffer has not yet made
a move toward extending the strike to
other plants of the great steel com
bine. The contributions of the men at
work are needed to carry on the
Btrike. If a general strike was order
ed the association among other dona
tions would lose the substantial sum
of $64,000 a month from the Federal
Steel company employes alone. The
men employed in other plants owned
by the steel corporation who would be
affected by a general strike order are
expected to make liberal contributions
to the Btrike fund. A long strike is
now anticipated.
Mill to Resume.
Cleveland, July 19. The old cotton
tie and wire mill of the American Steel
wire mill of this city will resume op
erations on Monday with a moderate
sized force. Denial is given the state
ment that the works are to be used as
an aid to the American Steel Hoop
company because of the strike, a great
demand for cotton ties being the real
reason for the resumption of the mill.

man, postmaster at this place, at
tempted suicide by shooting. He can

Alleged Petal's.
London, July 19. The Pall Mall Ga
zette publishes a communication from

tends to promote Prince Louis to a
full generalship In the Russian army,

Friars In Philippines.
Manilla, July 19. The Roman Cath
olic authorities in Manilla say they
have no intention of withdrawing the
friars from the Philippine islands, and
reiterate their belief that the friars
will be welcomed by the mass of the
Filipino people as their spiritual ad
visers when the people are thoroughly
assured the friars will no longer ex
ercise temporal authority. The cler
ics bitterly charge the leaders of the
Federal party, themselves Catholics,
with Inciting the people against the
clergy. They also say they would be
willing to substitute American for
Spanish friars, except for difficulties
arising from the Americans' ignorance
of Spanish and the native dialects. ,

VESSEL CAPSIZED EY A SQUALL
Victim a Wealthy Manufacturer,
Ills Two D it lighters, the Captain
and a teitiiiun Story
of the' Disaster.
New Haven, Conn., July 19. Five
persons were drowned in Long Island
sound by the capsizing of the yawl
rigged yacht Venltzia, of Philadelphia,
at a point five miles east of Sands
Point, near the New York and Con
necticut line. Two only of those on
board the yacht were rescued. The
drowned are: Arthur C. Colburn,
owner of the yacht and his daughters,
Ida and Annette Colburn, of Philadel
phia; Captain Flint, of Brooklyn, mas
ter of the yacht, and a sailor, name
unknown.
The others on board the Ill-fated
craft, Mrs. Walter T. Sprankle, of
Philadelphia, and daughter of the own
er of the yacht, and the steward,
James Stanbridge. of New York, were
rescued by the tug Gertrude, after
clinging for two hours to the bottom
of a capsized life boat. The yacht
left Delaware City bound for New
port It started from Thompsonville,
S. I., the intention being to put into
Black Rock, Conn., and take on board
Mrs. Sprankle's husband, who was ex
pected there.
According to the story of the stew
ard, the accident happened between 3
and 3:30 in the afternoon. The sky
was very squally, and the steward
says he heard Mr. Colburn say to
Captain Flint that it would be well to
take In some of the light sails, but
that the captain had replied that the
boat would stand all the wind that
was coming. She had on all of her
light sails, Including jibs, staysail and
topsail. Steward Stanbridge says he
was in the galley preparing supper,
when he heard an unusual fluttering
of the jibs and felt the boat heel over.
He rushed on deck and was about
midships when the craft capsized.
When he found himself in the water
he attempted to grasp one of the sails
which lay In the water, but found it
was sinking. Then he swam for tho
yacht's tender, which was bottom up.
As he was supporting himself at one
end of the boat, Mrs. Sprankle, who is
an expert swimmer, caught hold of
the other and they balanced them
selves thus until the tug Gertrude ap
peared and the attention of those on
board was attracted by shouts. When
picked up both were thoroughly ex
hausted, but have partly recovered.
The steward saw nothing of the oth
ers of the party after the disaster and
believes that some were carried un
der by the sails and rigging and that
others were drowned in the cabin.
The yacht Venltzia was built in 1880
in Mystic, Conn., and was elaborately
finished and furnished. She is 50 feet
long wlth'a net tonnaue of 31.
Victims Prominent.
Philadelphia, July 19. Arthur T.
Colburn, who with his two daughters,
Ida and Annete, was drowned by the

city and an expert yachtsman. He was
a member of the Corinthian Yacht
club of Philadelphia, and left here on

Girl Is Insane.
Goshen, Ind., July 19. Irene Can
ning, thh mysterious girl found near

ducted from New Haven, Conn., has
not been identified. The girl still says
she is heiress to a $300,000 estate at
Galveston, Tex. She said she attended
Mount Holyoke (Mass.) seminary last
year. The police have been asked to
find out if she is Bertha A. Mallfsh,
who recently disappeared from school
at Mount Holyoke. The police, how
ever, are working on a theory that the
girl may be the daughter of Frank
Canning, a former Fort Wayne shoe
manufacturer. The girl is insane.
To Employ Nonunion Labor.
Cincinnati, July 19. The machin
ists' strike, having now practically
been closed, except at the Laldlaw-Dunn-Gordon
plant at Tweedale, north
of the city, the managers of that con
cern have decided to open their plant
and operate It with nonunion labor.
They took out about 25 men and em
ployed 25 deputies to give them pro
tection. Their employes held a meet
ing at Tweedale and decided to con
tinue the strike for the present,
though not by a unanimous vote. A
number of the strikers declared that
they would return to work on Monday
if they did not receive strike benefits
In full. .
SERIOUS MIX-UP.
.Hatlonary Firemen Oetermlned to
Keep 1'nlti d .Mil o Workers Away.
Scranton, Pa., July 19. There Is a
lerlous complication in the strike ot
Jhe stationary firemen. It arises from
the order of the executive board of
the United Mine Workers to those fire
men who were enrolled in Its" member
ship and who stopped work to return
to their places, and the determination
ofilcrs of the firemen's organization to
to keep them away. The day opened
with a show of new strength' on the
part of the strikers. They added sev
eral additional mines in the Lacka
wanna valloy to the list of Idle ones.
The striking firemen went back at
the Erie mines, while at the other
workings, the men to return were fire
men affiliated with the United Mine
Workers. The situation created by
these conditions intensifies the hos
tility that is showing itself among
these men as to which element shall
control. How the United Mine Work
ers will deal with this question can
only be answered by the decision of
the conference at Hazelton between
the executive officers ot districts num
bers 1. 7 and 9 of the organization.
More Collieries Closed.
Bhamokln, Pa., July 19. One hun
dred mine engine firemen went on
Btrike between here and Mount Car
mel. Seven out of 18 collerles were
tied up and 4,000 men are idle. A
number of working operations are
badly crippled and will probably be
closed down soon. Bosses, clerks and
members of the mining engineering
staff oilice are working In the fire
rooms. President Schults of the Fire
men's union, says he is confident that
by Saturday night that all the collerles
hereabouts, employing 12,000 men and
boys, will be closed. The men at
Greenough, Royal Oak, Natelle and
Enterprise, individual operations,
were granted the eight hour work
day, but they say they will remain on
strike until all the strikers win.
Ellis Glenn Not Bert Glenn.
Parkersburg, W. Va., July 19. The
star witness in the Ellis "Glenn case
was Philip White of Marietta, who
stated that he had been a conn-onion

was there and had gone around with

knew Bert Glenn was a man and tho
prisoner, Ellis Glenn, was not the
same person. Bert Glenn had a blu
ish scar on his right arms which he
had seen many times and he had ex

SOLUTION OF THE SNARL IN SIGHT.
Torm.vl Surrender of Pelting to
Celestial to Take Place
Next .Mouth Newi
of Washington. '
Washington, July 19. Commission
er Rockhill has provided the state de
partment by cable with the following
statement of the present status of the
negotiations nt Peking:
"The diplomatic corps at Peking is
engaged in considering the Russian
proposals for the eventual Increase of
the tariff Cmaritlme customs). A solu
tion of the problem Is hoped for. The
indemnity fixed at 450,000.000 taels
and four per cent interest has been
formally accepted and Japan has
Waived preferential treatment. The
formal surrender of Peking to the
Chinese authorities Is expected to take
place on the 14th of August."
The date mentioned Is the anniver
sary of th relief of tho legationers by
the international force. The Russian
proposal referred to is understood, in
substance, to be an increase from five
to 10 per cent of the customs duties
which the Chinese government may
collect from the Imports from foreign
countries. It Is further understood
that this increase is not to take effect
at once, and perhaps not at all. It will
depend upon the resources of China
under the existing regime.
The state department has made sat
isfactory responses to the Italian
charge here, respecting the alleged re
fusal of the Wabash railroad authori
ties to allow a representative of the
Italian consul at Chicago access to the
Italians who were injured in a train
wreck and sent to the Wabash rail
road hospital at Peru, Ind. Dr. Moore
house, the railroad surgeon who was
in charge of the injured men, has re
ported that they had every care and
personal attention. He says that the
person claiming to represent the Ital
ian consul presented no credentials
and appeared to be without proper
authorization; that any authorized
representative of the Italian govern
ment was at liberty to see and speak
with every Individual Italian in the
hospital, and this privilege has al
ready been availed of.

found Intact to the dollar and has now
been checked up the third time by ns
many different sets of men, so that
there Is no possibility of error. The
completion of the count sets at rest
the theory that the recent Fhortlig'3 of
