securing half-million dollars with
which to erect monument TO, Gener-
al Grant, have abandoned the idea or
are working so quietly that the pub

is only one among many Illustrations
Of the fact that the American people
are growing away from many Of their
old-time notions that were all right
Ia their time, but whose time has
gone by never to return again. The
race is practical one and it is begin

are mol practical. their ornamentality
is not questioned. nor their power to
perpesuate, for a brief period, the

PlrrsBURou, Feb. THE Dispatch has
the following: A well developed scheme
to flood the Connellsville coke region with
Italians, to take the place OF the striking
Huns, was brought to light last night. Az
has already been stated, tho Frick Coke
Company has positively refused to aCCede
to the demands Of the strikers, but the
condition Of tho iron trade will not per.
nit a continued suspension OF operations
in the Cokeregion. Various schemes have
been devised, but were found to be i'm.
practicable. The importation OF more
HungarianB was unsuccessful.
Mr.. II. Q. Frick has hit on a plan that,
although 1t may cause trouble, will prob.
ably insure the production Of coke before
many days. Antonio Busch, who has
been prominently identified In the pro.
curing Of Italians for heavy contracts In
this city, has been engaged by the FriCk
Coke Company.
Mr.. Busch was interviewed by % reporter
last evening, and stated that he had been
engaged by the Frick Coke Company and
authorized 10 secure as many Italians as
possible and place them in the coke re-.
gions. The scheme, he said, "is to start
one works with new men, and then grad.
ually ill up the others until every works
In the region is In operation.
II have been authorized to employ all
the Italians can get" said Mr.. Busch.
II have 200 men who are now ready 10 20
