ST. LOUIS SOCIALISTS
still Holding Their Nee ings, bat
Conducting Them Very Quietly.

ST LOUIS, June 14.-The Social sts
OF this city continue to hold their reg
ular meetings despite the sction taken
by the city authorities prohibiIiog
them. They are, as a rule, quietly
conducted, and although they ere he'd
secretly, it is understood that the rev.
olutionary aud incendisry speeC hes
which were the order OF the day be-
fore the Chicago rios, have become
less fa quent. Three meetings OF the
different branches Of the order were
held yesterday to complete arrange
ments for a grand demonstration on
the 4th OF July, which will take the
form Of picnic, the profits Of which
are intended TO be expended for the
ber eft of their friends who are being
persecuted (N by the authorizes in
various parts of the country. The cir-
cular Announcing this fact is printed
on vividly red paper, and the tickets
Of admission on no less luid cards.
Noted Socialist spe kers from various
localities have been secured, one of
the most prominent being William @.
Goisuch Of Baltimore, Nd. The ex.
lied Prince Krapotkine, who is now in

THE THIRD ACT
OF A FARCE CALLED A CONTES t
IN TIE
FeRtuIe Developed I'm the Trial
S-sIRughter Safe.

A laughable farce was in progress
nearly all day yesterday at the Court
House, where the County Court was
in SESSION until 8 O'Clock. The election
for chairman last January, which re-
suited in favor OF Justice Slaughte-,
was held by full count, and it was at.
tempted to contest it yesterday before
a half court. Justice Smith, who dies
very hard, has had the case in Chan
ceiy and in the County Court, to
which that tribunal remanded it aud
where it was again settled in Justics
Slaughter's favor; a blauch OF 1t
in the Supreme Coutt, and now
aUoiher 'ussle before the justices.
Just ca York presided, and a large
number of witnesses were examined.
Lawyers appeared for both sides, and
the proceeding WIS nothing more nor
less than going behind the returns" "
IL is prob obable that no such scene was
ever witnessed b5fore in the State.
The nearest thing to it was the in
vest CATION Of the famous S5turning
Board iu Louisiana. When Judge
Mcdowell heard the injunction case
he decided that If it could be
shown that Justice Lee Allen
did not vote on the first ballot, the in.
junction should be dissolved and
Chairman Slaughter installed in Office.
Allen, who had at fret been induced
to swear Nat he did vote on the first
ballot, mGAe an expla lation in which
he admitted that he might have been
mittaker, giving it as his opinion upon
further consideration that he did not
vote on the frat ballot. This, of course,
settled the matter, and Justice Slaugh-
ter was conducted TO his seat, the only
other point at issue being whether or
not Justice Smith consented to the
taking of second ballot, and this the
count almost unanimously decided in
the affirmative.
0nly one new feature was brought
out duling the progress OF yesterdays
farce, and that was rather striking
one. Seventeen magistrates who were
ca led to the stand swore that they
voled for Slaughter on he first bal OF.
They we're: J. G. Moore, John Gra-
ham, Cyrus Fields, Frank Porter, j.
W. Allen, @. G. Hughes, J. NJ. Cole
man, ]. N Harrison, j. B. Blackwell,
r. T. Shivers, @. Jones w. T. jack
SIN, W. R. Hauell, I. NJ. B and, p. j.
Quipley, R NJ. Mason and A. G. Rosrk.
Affidavits CT a similar import tom
Jus ices Hughey and Williams were
read, Justices Powell and Stewart
were not present, but they are known
TO have worked and voted for Slaugh-
TER first, last snd all the time. Thus it
was shown that twenty.one maGis-
tr4tes voted for Slaughter ON the Fl st
ballot, while only eighteen were
read and counted for him when
the ba lots we've taken out
of the hat. This means one of
three thipgs-thst some of the mag's-
traes swOre falsely Yesterday, mat
some of them wrote Smith inadver-
tently for aughter on their ballots,
or that some OF the ballots are still
sticking in the lining O that bat. So
remarkable state Of facts will make
the court exceedingly careful here
after when counting out the little
slips which decide the .fate OF candi-
dates.
The farce will be continued TO day.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 14,-For some
time past a number OF prominent
Knights OF Labor organizers have been
industriously at work among the
servsnt girls of this city, with very
"a isfactory results to the order. A
local assembly has been organized and
they will be admitted to the Knights
OF Labor as part Of a national district
assembly, to be romposgd entirely Of
girls The ass mb'y already numbers
in the neighborhood OF l50 members,
and is increasing, The place Of meet
ing is kept secret for the present, the
principal reason bsing the desire Of
the girls to withhold their names from
the public, for if they werel known TO
be members of the Knights Of Labor
they might lose their situations. They
will admit hotel mattresses, also, and
the combined strength of these and
the servant girls will, they are conf
dent, bring their employers and mis-
tresses to terms.

Iron Ocean Steamers.

The first iron vessel was launched in
1917, and is still in existence. But not
till 1892 did the work seriously begin.
At that time the Lloyds began to build
small iron steamers for short voyages.
A certain amount of prejudice had to
be overcome, for there were many
doubts as to its strength and buoyancy.
But it made its way, and the first sue
cessful iron steamer made transatlan-
tic voyage in 1843, the Great Britain,
launched by the Great Western Com
pany. In those days the Great Britain
was rated as an unusually large-s zed
ship. 1t was a ship of 5000 tons bur-
den, and was an iron-screw steamer
combining the new methods of propul-
sion and construction. The voyage
was successful, and the ship is still in
existence, and, till within few years
at least, ran to Australia. Her success
led to limitations in the English marine,
and in 1850 the Inman Line was estab-
lished between Liverpool and New
York of iron-screw steamers. 1t had no
profitable mail contract, and was purely
commercial undertaking, but under
skillful management has been very sue
cessful. In the United States iron ship
building has never taken root the way
it has in England. Americans began
early to build small iron steamers, and
do now, but only for coasting lines.
We only use iron in cases where we are
entirely cut off from competition, or
where we are driven to it, as it is inn
possible to use wood for much of the
coasting service.
