BUSY RECEIVING SCALES.
The Signed Documents Flowing in to Am
algamated Headquarters.


algamated Headquarters.
officials were kept busy yesterday at Am
algamated headquarters receiving signed
scales from manufacturers. In all about ten
scales were received. President Wefhe said
he had not yet received any official informa-
tion regarding the strike at DuQuesne.
As predicted in Wednesdays DISPATCH
however, the strike occurred yesterday
morning. Work in all departments has
stopped, and will not be resumed again until
the scale is signed and the mill committee
has been reinstated.
At the Pencoyd works the situation is
daily improving. Many of the employees who
struck several months ago because the pro-
prietors refused the Amalgamated scale
have returned to work. A committee of the
Amalgamated Association sought an oppor-
tunity to present the scale, but were re-
fused admission to the office, the firm
steadily refusing to be dictated to in the
management of their business.
The Mahoning Valley Iron Manufacturers
Association is waiting to receive an au-
thentic copy of the new scale before taking
action. The construction placed upon the
nine-hour clause is in accordance with the
present understanding of the manufactur-
ers, that if the time limit runs from the begin
ming of the rolling, there will be no objec-
tion to the scale.

George Sheppard, United States National

is a shroud Of mystery surrounding his

in special examination of the
Third National Bank of that city,
but refused to say whether he is
there as the successor of Bank Examiner
Drew, or simply to do the usual work OF that
district during the suspension of Mr.. Drew.

THE CLEMSON COLLEGE.
The Agricultural Department to bs
brought Closer to tho People.


ANDERSON, S. c., Jan. ll.-In its
last issue the Peoples Advocate pub
lished the following: In the course of a
personal interview with Col. II. w.
Simpson, the President of the Board of
Trustees Of the Clemson College, he
said that it is the purpose of the board to
TO bring the Agricultural Department in
more direct contact with the people, and
make it medium of communication
with the people, in keeping them post
cd on all matters pertaining to aercul-
ture and the experiments of that nature
conducted at the college, and that it will
be the aim of this department to put it.
self in close touch with the people by
holding farmers Institutes during the
summer vacation.
1t is well known fact that the items
OF board and tuition is what debars
many poor youth Of ability frym en-
tering college, and it IS on this line that
Clemson proposes to offer superior adj
vantages to the sons Of poor men by
reason Oft handsome income of about
SO 1000, not dollar of which is raised
by taxation, and the handsome real cs-
tate property which it owns, consisting
ofan immcnce body Of the finest lands
in the Picdmond belt, upon which it is
proposed to raise the larger part of the
supplies ofthe mess hall table and thus
furnish board to the students at n min
imum cost, it is thought not to exceed
50 or 81 per month. In addition to
this, provision will be made for students
to- pay part OF this by laboring ccr-
tain number Of hours daily in the field,
and furthermore it Is proposed to keep
large number OF sheep on the farm,
from the sale Of the wool Of which it is
proposed to furnish clothing fund to
aid poor young men in supplying them
selves with clothing. No young man
who wishes to acquire a chronological
training will be permitted to leave the
college without having his education
developed along other lines which 90 to
make up Il we'll rounded, practical man.
notwithstanding the fact that the
Board is somewhat embarrassed, by
reason of the failure of The Legislature
to appropriate the 10000 asked for to
complete the buildings at once, it Is con-
tcmplatcd to fill the faculty in June and
open the college for students on the first
OF October, using as class rooms and
dormitories such buildings as will them
be completed, and erect The nam Luild-
ing during the following year.
Col. Simpson also stated TO us that
despite certain publications to the con.
trary not single member of the boar(
has received or will receive single

To Surround The Indians.

PINE RIDGE, Jan. 9.-Yestcrday
evening all the commands in the field
were ordered to march from three to SIX
miles nearer The hostilcs. Last night
the order was putin effect. 1t of course
attracted the attention Of the Indians.
At intervals Of two or three days the
Gordon Will be drawn more tightly round
the hostiles until they agree either to
come in peaccable or be whipped into
submission.
The reluctance they display to accept
the overtures Of General Miles are sus-
ceptible of but one Interpretation and
that is that they propose to surrender
and retain their arms or die in their de-
fence.
This is backed up by the tact that the
majority ofthose who have come in from
the hostiles are squaws and children,
who it is desired to get out of the wav.
Some bucks come in occasionally. They
domcsticate with the alleged Friendlles
and at the same time retain the feeling
of hostility which impellcd them to flee
from the agency.
The coming in Of Red Cloud is vari-
ously interpreted. His good faith is
doubted by many because it is we'll
known that he could not have stolen
away at night, for the hostiles desired
TO retain him In their midst.

The Force Bill,

WASlIINGTON, Jan. l2.--There is to
be renewal Of the fight over the force
bill as soon as the silver bill is disposed
Of, and every Republican Senator will be
expected to vote with his party or suffer
the consequences.
THIS ls the substance of an order sent
out from the force bill headquarters to-
day. The silver bill will probably be
passed on Wednesday evening, after
which there Will be q general scramble
between the force bill, the pure food bill,
the international copyright bill, the APP
portonment bill for the right ofway. A
large majority Of the Republicans insist
as matter of party pride that the force
bill will be pushed through at any cost,
and if the measure is taken up after the
silver bill, an effort will be made imme-
diately to adopt the gag rule.
The Democrats are not dismayed by
the hustling and blufline INDUCED in on
the other side Of the chamber, and they
are prepared to resist any move calcula-
ted to revive the force bill. They are
not certain how many Republicans can
be counted on to vote against the bill,
as the partisan pressure is very strong
on those Senators supposed to be doubt
tul. The two parties arc so evenly divid-
ed that none of the leaders arc willing
to make prediction as to the result.

A FATHER INDEED.
Jacob Ross Takes Cot by His Suffering
Child.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8. The remarka-
able and interesting surgical operation
is drawing near completion at Manhattan
hospital. 1t is the grating of the skin
OF father to the torn and mangled leg
Of his little 4-year-old son.
The operation has been in progress
since Dec. 30th, some pieces Of the skin
being taken from the fathers BODY from
time to time and placed on the raw spot
on the boys knee until the wound has
been almost completely covered.
The little fellow has borne the suffer-
ing incidental TO a painful operation with
remarkable tortitude, and his bravery,
the nurses say, is only equaled by his
fathers love, which has endured the tor
turc of having the skin cut from his own
quivering flesh that it might make his
boys limb whole.
On Nov. 13, Jacob Ross WAS run over
and frightlully cut by cable car. The
lett thigh was crushed and the flesh was
torn from the other side Of the left knee,
leaving the bone uncovered. The wound
was fully eight inches long. The right
thigh was also fractured, and both bones
in the right leg below the knee were
broken.
Little Jacob was taken to the hospital.
He was very weak, and 1t was five days
before the doctor dared to set the right
leg in a plaster. With this difficulty
overcome, the bones began to knit, and
by Christmas day they had all knitted.
But the wound in the knee was still
open and it was evident that this wound
would not heal by any ordinary means
and the surgeons decided that only by
grating the skin from healthy person
could the boy be restored.
In this emergency the boys father
stepped forward and offered himself for
the experiment.
Jocob Ross, ST., then became an in
mate Of the hospital, and, lying on the
cot besides his suffering boy, barred his
body to the surgeons keen knife. Piece
by piece, bits of skin not larger than 4
silver half dollar, were cut from his
thigh and placed on the little fellows
knee.
Gradually the boys flesh was covered
VII h his fathers skin and nature began
to do its work Of healing.
The condition of both patients is fav-
orable. and the doctor says there Is no
doubt the operation will prove complete
ly successful,

SUING ON CONFEDERATE BONDS.
The Wild Goose Chase OF n Hoilander
Living in Glaspow.

BALTIMORE, January 8.-Jacques
Van Raalte, native of the city Of Rot
terdam, Holland, but residing and doing
business In Glasgow, Scotland, where
he also represents the Netherlands as
consul, to-day instituted suit in the Cir
cult Court of the United States for the
district Of Maryland by w. Starr Gep-
hart, his solicitor, against James G..
Blaine. as Secretary of State os the Uni
ted States Of America.
Tho bill sets forth that VIM II. Sc
ward. when Secretary Of State, issued
on July %, 1868, proclamation which
recited that ''neither the United States
nor any State shall pay any dept or OBJ
legation incurred in aid of insurrection
Or rebellion against the United States,
but all such debts shall be held illegal
and void"
Prior to July 28, 1868, the plaintiff
purchased for their full value 1926, 900
of negotiable coupon bonds issued by the
Southern States as joint and several OBJ
legations, and he contends that the proc
lamation was illegal. in that it included
past debts Or obligations, and Secretary
Seward's proclamation contained an i'm
piled admission that without such pro-
hibitiou the States referred to would owe
q just and valid obligation.
The plaintil seeks an entrance into
Court to prove, first that the proclama-
ton obliges the Secretary Of State to
take the curious position that although
the States never lost their status in the
Union, yet their obligations could be an
nulled as if they had, and second that
the State obligations already incurred
could be thus repudiated and vested
rights taken away.
The plaiutifr also claims that being a
citizen of Great Britain and Holland
such acts on the part Of the Secretary OF
State were also illegal and void, because
1t was interference with his rights as a
citizen of a foreign country, between
Which and the United States treaty stip-
ulations existed that protected him.
The suit is to recover for destroying
the value of negotiable bonds and their
coupons. Interest is also claimed on
the bonds, amounting to the same as the
principal, the total amount being $780,
600. Gephart says that as the Govern
meDt OF the United States cannot be sued,
it was necessary to proceed against it's
officer, the Secretary Of State. In that
| respect he thinks the suit involves the
same principle as some Of the recent
suits against the officers of the State OF
VIRGINIA.
