THEY MET AND ADJOURNED,

No Change in the AmaIgamated Wage
Scale Anticipated.
The committee of the Amalgam ated As
sociation appointed to consider the advisa-
bility of changing the base Of the scale was
in session all day yesterday, but adjourned
without coming TO any definite conclusion.
Those present were:
Boiling milis-John P Sheehan. of Pittsburc
and David H. Williams, PIQua O.
Bar mills-M. NJ. Garland and E A. Keil,

W. y. S;rataern. Bradduck
sheet and plate mills-James II. Mutt
youngstown; George Evans, Bridgeport. o.:
Raymond Bauer Wheeling, and Thomas A
Hogan, Pittsburg.
The conference was for the purpose of in
quiring into the prices of the various arti.
cles of manufacture and to discover. if nossi-
bic, if it would not be of an ADVANTAGE tn
have the base of the wage scale transferred
from bar iron to skelp, sheet, or some other
article. The committee adjourned, however,
to meet again at the call of the chairman
during the convention next June, when a
recommendation will be submitted to the
convention. 1t is not likely that the change
will be made, as the present investigation is
only made to graft Y the whims of some who
thought the present basis permitted the
manufacturers to take advantage of them in

A Glimpse of the soidier-Artist.
These incidents OF the fearful siege at
Samarcand, the wonderfully interesting and
beautiful city of Central Asia, which was
destroyed by Alexander the Great, and SUBJ
sequently rebuilt, afford glimpse
of Verestchagin, the soldier. They also
enable one to understand the motive which
prompted the painter to preach the gospel
of universal peace and love, by making ap-
parent to all mankind the utter. wretched-
ness and horror of strife. This was his way
of addressing his followers: II have been
particularly struck by the fact that even In
our time people kill one another every
where, under all possible pretexts and by
every possible means. Wholesale murder
is still called war; while killing individ-
uals is called execution
A touching incident illustrates the great
Russians power to delineate with a. skill
full touch the manly character OF peasant
soldier. ..'On the fifth or sixth day of the
siege" says the artist, "a man appeared at
the gates waving piece of pape. in his
hand. Nazsrof gave orders not to fire and
called the man up. A strong. bearded fell
low he was, and apparently no coward. for

life on the Great Siberian Road" was
graphically described by George Kennan,
assisted by illustrations made by sterop-
ticon, to about 800 people in Old City Hall
last night. The pictures assisted very ma
terial1y in giving a realization of
the sufferings of some OF the best
people in Russia who fall under
the ban of a despotism so cruel that one can
scarce realize what Russia must have; been
before Peter the Great supposing him to
have been all that history points him in the
role OF reformeE Beside Mr.. Kennan's
pictures of Siberian horrors, Andersonville
prison tortures grow almost humane.
The lecturer concluded BY stating
that at the great judgment day
he'd rather stand in the shoes OF even
the meanest actual criminal ever sent to
Siberian mines than in those of the great
Gar of all the Russias.
The lecture was we'll received, and at its
close many mounted the platform to shake
hands with Mr.. Kennan.

intimate knowledge of scenes of battle, and
enabled him to produce pictures which, be-
cause of their realistic horror, have amazed
the world.
Many of the incidents of this siege, related
by Verestchagin in his autobiography, are
filled with pathos, and some with all the
horrors of actual battle. 81 saw one soldier, -
he says, "adroitly seize the opportunity of
firing, and succeed in picking out an incau-
tious Uzbeck, who had shown himself
at hut. He also managed to send
bullet right into an embrasure.
and the firing from that quarter ceased.
This feat greatly pleased the soldier. He
worked with renewed vigor, joked and sud-
denly fell down like mown grass, with a
ball in his head.
Some of the Sad Sights of War.
Another soldier was hit in the ribs by a
bullet; he dropped his gun and ran up and
down the battlements in a sort of circle,
screaming: oh, brothersl They have killed
me. Death has found me outp What are
you shouting for, my good fellow?' his next
man asked him. Lie down. But the un-
fortunate man could not hear him. He de-
scrioed another circle, staggered, fell down
and died" His cartridges found their way
into Verestchagin's wallet.
On one occasion the Uzbecks had crept up
to the very gates, climbed the walls and
thrown themselves upon the guns. Nazeroff
and Verestchagin led the charge upon the
attacking party, driving the soldiers out of
a hut In which they were entrenched. Yer.
estchagin says: II remember we'll my
actions, and can correctly analyze them.
The irst thing did on entering the hut
was to stand in the space between the win
dows, for the enemy was firing into them. and
thus escape the bullets. Nazerof, who fol.

she became ill.
The gentleman complained to his attor-

to put the matter in the case in the hands of

was sending obscene matter through the

Chief Brown, in referring yesterday to In.

selling liquor without license, said such
action would not be taken. "In the first

rests. Thirdly, properly. constituted and
