PIrTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 15.-It is now
1873 days since the sympathy strike, in
augurated by the members OF the
Amalgamated association at the Law
renceville and Beaver Falls Carnegie
mills began. Today the Carnegie COM
pany started the Falls plants, claiming,
go far as the Lawrenceville and Home
stead works were concerned, the strike
was over. It is not denied by any one
that the company has unquestionably
the better OF the fight, although enor.
mously expensive. Many of the strikers
at Lawrenceville and Homestead are
disheartened, and at the same time there
are as many more who are determined to
fightit out if they can be supported. 1t is
the question of finance which is the most
serious problem the men have to deal
with. The members OF the advisory COM
mittee said today there was no use hold
ing out false delusions. There are about
1000 persons in Homestead and 300 each
in Lawrencewille and Beaver Falls on
the relief rolls. OF these 800 have fami-
lies, and the Amalgamated association
contracts to pay them So per week. The
other 500 get $5 per week, making
total of $40, 400 week. That isa severe
drain on an organization composed OF
only $4,000 members. Outside financial
aid has fallen off until the question of
finance is indeed serious.

By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Nov. 15.-Herr Singer, who
was Yesterday unanimously elected
president of the Socialist party, today
made speech at the Socialist congress,
in the course of which he referred to the
rapid progress OF the party. He well
coined the foreign delegates and con-
cluded by calling for three cheers TOR
international Socialism.
Heir Fischer, the secretary, in his re-
port stated that the work done since the
last meeting had enlarged the active
propaganda of the party. His report
covered the entire history OF the organ
ization. The financial condition OF the
organization was shown to be excellent,
and the newspapers and pupllshing en-
terprises were also successful. Inc re-
port closed with grim and suggestive
liet of the judicial sentences passed
during the last IL months on members
of the party. The penalties, it con-
tended, helped the cause, rather than
otherwise, as they made it plain that
social democrats were not treated on
the same footing as other citizens.
Probably the most pregnant passage
in the report is the following: How
ever heavy the cost may be, the move
ment will not deviate an hairs breadth
from the path which leads to the ap-
pointed goal and when one falls another
will take his place and fill up the solid
ranks of the army of labor. The lead
ers of the party have already led enthu-
siastic and self-eacrifcing followers to
victory and they will do 80 again until
the last final goal is reached"

FRENCH AFFAIRS.
Panama Canal Directors to Be Prose

Panama Canal Directors to Be Prose-
cuted for Breach of Trust.
PARIS, Nov. 15.-Contrary to previous
reports, the procureur-general has de-
cided to prosecute the directors OF the
Panama canal company.
The position of the ministry was the
all-abaorbing topic in the lobbies of the
chamber of deputies this evening. The
governments decision to prosecute the
directors OF the Panama canal company
disposes, for the moment, OF the whole
Panama canal question, and it is not
thought the debate set for Thursday, if
it occurs at all, will affect the position
of the cabinet. Many deputies, how
ever, are opposed to the prosecution OF
the directors, and will likely seek an
opportunity in tomorrow's debate on the
suppression of violent anarchist papers,
to attack the government on the subject.
The names of the Panama canal di-
rectors who are to be prosecuted are not
yet announced officially. 1t is reported
tonight, however, that Count De Les
seps, Charles De Lesseps, M. Fontanes,
M. Gotta and M. Eiffel are included
among the defendants, and that they
are charged with breach OF trust and
malvereation of funds. 1t is expected
that the case will be heard by the first
chamber Of the court of appeals at the
beginning of December.
A ministerial council was held today,
at which it was decided to make bill
rendering the press laws more stringent.

Fatal Altercat1o on at the East Ut. Louis
Race Track.
Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 15.-Col. Jack
Chinn, we'll KIN own horse starter, was
fatally shot at the East st. Louis track
this afternoon by Officer D. D. Anthony
OF the track police force. Chinn was
under contract as starter for the East
Side track, but some time ago went to
Chicago to offciate at Hawthorn. His
son, Rit Chinn, acted in his stead at
East st. Louis. The management of
the latter track decided to hold Chinn
to his contract, and sent for him. He
did not respond promptly, and when he
did come did very poor work; 30 the
services of Starter Dwyer of Guttenburg
were secured. Chinn this afternoon went
on the track to do his usual work, and
finding Dwyer there. snatched the flag
from him and ordered him off the track.
Dwyer refused to go, and called on the
officers for protection. Officer Anthony
told Chinn to get off the track and an
alteration ensued, during which Chinn
was shot several times by the officer.
He was removed to the hospital, where
he now lies in dangerous condition.

The Navy Department Impatient at the
Delay in Delivering Steel.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-H. G. Frick,
chairman of the Carnegie Steel compa-
ny, was at the navy department today
by appointment, to discuss with Secre-
tary Tracy the matter of steel
deliveries for naval construction.
Much, if not all the delay, in the COM
pletion of the new naval vessels has
been caused by the fact that steel of the
peculiar quality required for armor has
not been delivered in sufficient guam
tity to keep pace with con-
struction. Secretary Tracy feels
that the difficulty lies in
an insufficient plant for the production
of steel, and is directing his attention to
the subject. Today Frick told him that
the company intended to meet the re-
quirements of the department, and had
arranged to purchase and erect a large
quantity of new machinery and open
other mills.

Prince Nicholas stopped his supplies
altogether. This was resented by the
Young man. He made every endeavor
to annoy the prince and make him
ridiculous before the public. He black
mailed, lampooned and abused him
in the public bazaars. Numerous
family documents and satirical poems
relating to the prince, written by Cru
iica. were read in court. Many sensa-
tional stories are afloat with regard to
the disclosures that have been made, or
are to be made, in connection with the
case, and the part Prince Nicholas
played therein.

THE HANGING OF NELL.
How the Poisoner Of Unfortunate Girls
Met His Doom.

How the Poisoner of Unfortunate Girls
Met His Doom.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-Thomas Neill, alias
Cream, the murderer of Matilda Cloves
and several other unfortunat girls, paid
the penalty for his crimes at 9 o'clock
this morning. Notwithstanding the or
der that the execution should be pri-
vate, representative OF the Associated
Press was admitted to the prison. Neill
spent restless night and this morning
paid little heed to the mlnistratlons OF
the chaplain.
Hangman Ellington entered the cell
few minutes before 8, and with his as-
sistants, fastened leather belt around
the condemned mans waist. Straps
from this securely pinioned his arms at
the elbows and wrists. Neill submitted
quietly, without utteripg a word. The
procession to the gallows was then
formed, headed by the chief deputy,
followed by the chaplain reading the
burial service. Neill came next with a
warder on either side. He walked
firmly, though deadly pallor over
spread his face which, however, showed
no other signs of emotion. The hang
man brought up the rear.
Arrived at the scaffold, white cap
was pulled down over his eyes, and Bill
lington guided him on the trap door
beneath the cross from which the rope
dangled. The hangman' g assistants then
deity pinioned Nelll's legs. The moose
was adjusted around his neck, the exc
cutioner stepped back, pressed lever,
and Neill fell five feet into the pit.
There were convulslve twitchings of the
murderer for a few seconds, then the
body hung motionlees. Death was evil
IDENTIFY instantaneous and painless.
Neill was remarkably calm and self
possessed throughout. Just before the
cap was drawn down he thanked the
prison officials for their kindness. He
seemed resigned to his fate. He told the
undersherif that the last two days had
been the calmest and happiest of his life.
He declined to take stimulants to sus-
tain him for the final ordeal. Ellington
says he acted remarkably cool, and al
most placed himself on the trap with
out directions.
The body was cut down after banging
an hour, and a cast of the head was
taken. The coroner's jury viewed the
body and returned verdict in accord
ance with the facts. The remains were
placed in a coffin with quicklime and
buried under the fagstones of the prison
corridor, where have been buried the
remains of a long line of noted GRIM
inals.
