RESULT OF TYING UP THE FLEET
TI0N
STRIK E IS TH E CAIS E 0 E I
SEVERAL THOUSAND MEN WILL
BE THROWN OUT OF EM-
PLOYMENT.
REMARKABLE IAB0R CONFLICT
ALL KINDS OF CHARGES OF CON-
SPIRACY AND GRAFT ARE
MADE.
Duluth, Sept. 20.Present prospects
are that several thousand men em
ployed in and about the mines and
on the ore railroads and docks in Min
nesota will be thrown out of employ
ment soon as a result of the strike of
the Masters and Pilots association on
the steel corporation boats. This ef
fect is inevitable if thr- fleet, which is
the largest individual fleet flying the
American flag, continues to go out of
commission until all are laid up.
The fight will not embarrass the
steel corporation, for its supply of ore
in furnace yards and receiving docks
is said- to be ampir* to feed"the fur
naces until next May.
The steal corporation shipments
will dwindle to a comparatively small
volume of special grades in wild
boats. All steam shovel mines will
go out of commission and the under
ground mines will be worked with re
duced forces, producing and stock
piling.
What is more serious is the pros
pect of a general tie-up of the lake
fleet, since the masters and pilots
cannot hope to win against the steel
corporation fleet this season., because
of its big ore supplies already deliv
ered.
If the strike continues it will cost
St. Louis county hundreds of thou
sands of dollars which otherwise
would have been paid for labor before
the closing of navigation.
To Tie Up the Fleet.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 20.The big
fleet of the United States Steel cor
poration, which has been tied up by
the strike of the Masters and Pilots'
association will be sent to winter
quarters as rapidly as the boats ar
rive at the layine-up ports. All crews,
with the exception of just enough men
to get the boats ready for winter, will
be discharged. This is the outcome
of one of the most remarkable strikes
in the history of the great lakes, a
strike in which all kinds of charges of
conspiracy and "graft" are being
made.
A. B. Wolvin. general manager of
the fleet, reached here last night from
Duluth, and after looking over the
situation said:
"Our attitude in the matter is en
tirely passive. We did not begin the
affair. It is the other side which
started it and we have noihing to do
except tie up the vessels as fast as the
mates leave, and this wo shall con
tinue'to do until the boats are all tied
up. What else can we do?"
FORTUNE FOR AN IOWAN.
Will Use It to Complete Son's Musical
Education.
Ottumwa. Iowa. Sept. 20. After
working for years as a tinsmith for a
mere living wage William H. Powell
has been informed that through the
death of an uncle. John Francis of
Los Angeles, he has become pos
sessed of a share of the man's fortune,
which amounted to a quarter of a

much of it as Is needed, will be used

as a pianist and also as a composer
and director.

BULGARIANS .JVIUCH PLEASED
AT LATEST TURN IN
AFFAIRS.
Sofia. Bulgaria,. Sept. 20. A dis
tinctly optimistic tone now pervades
government and diplomatic circled
here and hopes are again expressed
that war may after all be averted.
From London and Constantinople
encouraging news has been received.
From London it is reported that the
British government will send a fleet
to Turkish waters, while reports from
Constantinople say that Great Britain,
France and Italy have intervened tu
prevent the continuance of massacres
in Macedonia. It is said that yester
day the representatives nf these pow
ers advised the saltan of their dis
satisfaction with the methods of sup
pressing the outbreak, and declared
that the
Massacres Must Be Stopped.
It Is said that they made special refer
ence to the excesses committed by the
Turkish troops in the vilayet of
Uskub. where the revolutionary out
break is insignificant and affords no
excuse to the soldiers for pillaging
and killing the Inhabitants.
The porte is said to have replied
that Turkey is simply carrying out
the wishes expressed by the powers
which urge the sultan's government
to adopt energetic measures to sup
press the revolution as speedily as
possible. The report that these pow
ers have taken such action has been
received with satisfaction by the Bul
garian ministry.
The diplomatic corps also appears
to he more relieved that Turkey has
taken the news of Bulgaria's mobiliza
tion steps much more quietly than
was anticipated. At the present mo
ment the whole situation is regarded
as being
Distinctly Better
than at any time for some weeks past.
A special dispatcl. from Bila says
several Bulgarian bands tinder Capt.
Stoyanoff attacked Melnik, province of
Seres, sixty-five m:les northeast of
Salonica. Two regiments of infantry
with cavalry and artillery hi support,
were sent from Djoumaria to r lieve
the garrison and they forced tne in
surgents to retire to the mountains,
where they are pursued by Iroops.
Desperate fighting is rep' rted to be
proceeding in a defile of tlie valley of
the Struma, near Kresna, between
Turkish troops and bands under Gen.
Zontehcff. Reinforcements of troops
have been sent from Seres.
Nazir Pasha, Turkish commander at
Monastir, is reported to have declared
to the consuls there: "We have had
one Insurrection. It will be the last
in this territory."
