EIGHTISG FOR FREIGHT.
Bitter War Between Hallway and EXPIRES,
(omDaniR,.

companies.
New YORK, June pa great rivalry
has been going on for some time be-
tween the several express companies
doing business in New York, and west
bound freightS have now become
great bone of contention between
the express and railroad compa-
nies, and every one is striving
TO capture the lions share of
the business, almost regardless of prices.
1t Is said that shipper can almost
name his own terms on freight either
by railroad or express, and that if one
company offers q certain figure another
viii almost surely beat it. This state of
affairs is boon to shippers, though not
very profitable 10 the railroad or ex-
press companies, and it is stated that
freights have often been carried at
an actual loss. The fight between
the express companies has been
particularly bitter. There is an effort
on foot now, however, to bring this state
of affairs to sudden termination w
forming an agreement between the
American, United States and Wells
Fargo Companies to restore the rates to
their former basis. The Adams Com
pany has been invited to Join issues
with these three companies, but it is
said the managers of that company re-
fuse to have anything To do with such
an agreement

WILL SHUT nONN
Inc IRON Men Fail to Agree on w

| Scale.
| A dispatch of The o6th from PittSburo,
SAYS: The iron workers strike Is an
ana by tomorrow noon the mills will
be idle. The conference of the ware
committees OF the Amalgamated Asso-
| cation and iron manufacturers
| this afternoon was short and da-
cisive. The workers representa-
| tives stated that the lodges had
voted upon the question of reduction
| and had decided almost unanimously To
| reject 1t. The manufacturers then stated
| III language Just as positive that they
| WOULD not pay the present wages.
| 1here was but little discussion. and the
| conference adjourned sine die after be-
| I'D ll,S III session but twenty-five minutes.
Ihe members of the Amalgamated As
| soclatloh Went INTO consultation at once
| at their headquarters. and viii have
their scale presented 10 the manufae-
turers 10 sign or reject, as they see
proper. Secretary Martin. of the ANAL
| gamated Association, this afternoon re-
celNed news to the effect that the
Laughlln and Junction Steel COMPANIES
OF Ohio bad signed the steel scale.
In an interview tonight, NJ. n. YER
ner, of the Pittsburg Forge and Iron
Company, said the shutdown would he
| complete. The statement that the mills
were closing for repairs is untrue. They
are closing because the manufacturers
Will not pay the present wages. He
SAID further that it was impossible 10
predict the outcome, but one thine
was certain, the manufacturers would
not sign the scale, unless there was an
advance IN the price Of iron. They will
not consent 10 arbitration aud the wages
must be = a ton or nothing The work
men are equally determined to stand ont
for the scale. and from the present
indications the struggle Will be pro-
tracted and bitter. In the city >, 800
men Will BE- thrown out of employment
by the strike and in the West II is esti-
mated that no less than 70 5,030workmeu
" est, 'eeteFted. All the mills in the
union men, viii close NqSEatcd by non
indefinitely. The mills that will con
tinue In operation are Carnegie 5 Besse-
mer Works, at Braddock. Park Bros. x
Co., Clark's Solar Iron Works and An
derson Il Depuy, of this city: Moods
Mills, of Mckeesport. Pa, and Wells
vile, o., and the Lake Erie Iron Works,
of Cleveland.
Among the other interests affected by
the strike will be the railroad freight
business and the coke trade. The sus-
pension of work in the mills means the
banking up of the blast furnaces and as
a consequence the shutting down gem
orally of the coke ovens of the Con-
vellsyille region. The coke people say,
however, that shut down of several
months would eventually do them good
and when the mills started up again
there would be big demand for coke,
which would be sold at profit, while
there is a loss in the present price of 81
a ton.
At a late hour to-nigltit was rumcred
that Oliver Bros, 1900 men, would sign
the scale. II. w. Oliver was seen by
reporter, but he declined to affirm or
deny the report.

Apponyis speech.
The Austrian delegation on the 9th
adopted an army credit of IL ,0O0, $50
forms. la the course of the debate,
Count Apponyi observed that in view of
the state of uncertainty in Europe, the
alliance with Germany afforded a strong
safeguard especially after Emperor
William 5 speech in the reIchstag, which
met with the keenest and most sympa-
thetic reception in Austria This, he
said, did not release the coun-
try from the duty of develop
ing its own strength. IfAustria desired
an energetic policy, she must, in spite
of the condition of her finances, grant
to the war department the necessary re-
sources. Resoluteness meant peace,
while weak and yielding course rem
dered war certain. Herr Won Tisza, the
Hungarian premier, said he fully con-
CURED in this opinion and that the
declaration of Emperor William had
strengthened the!T attachment and
their confidence in the alliance, as well
as their veneration for the leading
statesman of Germany.
