Deputy Sheriff Edgar fired shot at q

fight of three minutes the prisoners
were beaten back and the door locked.
An iron bar had been sawed through
with corset-steel taken in by some

The iron manufacturers of the west
met at Pittsburg Tuesday. Prominent
men present express the opinion that
the prevailing strike will end by the
strikers going to work without an ad-
vance, and that the selection of Mr..
Jarrett as president of the Amalga-
mated Association indicates as much.
The strikers at Pittsburg say they will
not resume work without the advance.
Their office there received $50 600 Tues
day to maintain the strikers.
The session Wednesday, of iron man.
ufacturers Of the west, now meeting at
Pittsburg, was devoted mainly to dis
cussiOn of the prevailing strikes, and
the general purpose not to grant any
advance was expressed. Manufacture
ers who have resumed with nOn-uniOn
men express great satisfaction with the
results. The unanimity concerning the
strike was so plainly visible that no
vote was taken. The session was held
with closed doors. and if action looking
to bringing the strike to close had
been taken it could not be learned.
The London Times says the English
| forces will not retire from Egypt and
leave events to take their own course,
and when the consent of Europe is ne
cessary to sanction course it will be
| invoked in q manner very different
from that with which we have lately
been familiar. A German organ says
the interests of Germany are not men
aced, and when they are, she will have
time for resolution. Her only aim at
present is European peace. The sui

III. M. s. Superb fired on the men of
Arab Pasha engaged in constructing
earthworks. De Lesseps' conduct is
causing complications. A favorable
result of the negotiations for an Anglo

ed. A holy war is being preached in
Morocco.
August crop returns to the depart
ment of agriculture from about 5000
correspondents throughout the crop
producing area of the United States
give generally favorable report. Dur
ing the month of July cotton has i'm
proved. The condition of spring wheat
August was higher than for several
years. 1t is thought probable that the
without loss from sprOuting, reach
500, zoo, 900 bushels, and that estimates
assuming Is to 20 per cent. more are
wild assumptions to reduce the price
of wheat in the hands of farmers. The
European outlook is favorable for a
medium crop, with slight reduction
in quality. The condition of the corn
crop in the United States is represent
ed SO, as against77 last year. The gen.
eral average condition of other crops is
good.
Jesse Hoyt, one of the best known
| New York merchants, died at his resi-
dence Monday in that city, where he
was born in 1915. Mr.. Hoyt began his
commercial career as q clerk in a gro
Gerry house and succeeded to partner
ship, withdrawing in 1888 to enter the
grain commission business with his
father. The grain business at that
time was restricted to transactions in
flour, the subsequent development of
what is now known as the grain trade
and ability. Mr.. Hoyt was especially
active in the erection of elevators and
in improving the facilities for storing
and handling grain, and was promi-
nently identified with the elevator
system of Chicago and Milwaukee,
having built the first railroad elevator
in the latter city. Having great con-
fidence in the resources of the west, he
purchased a vast tract of land in the
Saginaw valley of Michigan: in prepar-
ing for the clearing of the land, while
sinking wells, he discovered the salt
deposits which have grown to so great
importance. Mr.. Hoyt was at the time
of his death president of the Flint and
Pere Marquette Railroad company, and
an officer in many business corpora
tons and associations. He leaves an
estate valued at $4,000, 900.
