AGAINST A BOYCOTT.
American Federation Of Labor
Tolerates Carnegie Iron.
TRICKS FEAR OF AssAss,Ns.
Weihe and O'Donnell to Run for once
on tho Democratic Ticket-Mors
idaho Rioters to Sentence.

PIrrsBuRo, Aug. 1.-THE executive
board Of the American Federation Of Labor
met today and after an all days session
decided not to boycott Carnegie products
at present. The reason for this is that the
firm is not turning out enough material to
justify a boycott. Should it be necessary
in future to order the boycott, the board
will not hesitate to do so.
Notwithstanding denials, there IL great
dissatisfaction among tho fnishers over
the action of the Amalgamated conference
committee regarding the signing of the
scale. They claim their wages will be re-
duced nnder the scale % per cent. instead
of 10 per cent, as given out, and they
threaten to refuse to abide by the COM
mittee's action. A conference Of 6nishers
will be held tomorrow afternoon to ar
range for general meeting of all the
finishers in the district tomorrow evening.
Nothing will be done until the meeting il
over. 1t Is believed. however, that the
fnishers will accept the reduction.
The Allegheny county Democratic lead
ers propose to place in nomination for
congress in the Twenty-fourth Pittsburg
district William Weihe, president Of the
Amalgamated Association, to run against
John Dalzeil, the Republican candidate.
Hugh O'Donnell is to run for assembly in
the same district on the Democratic ticket.
The Amalgamated Association officials
are distributing circulars appealing to the
workmen in the iron establishments of
Pittsburg and elsewhere to boycott ma
terial that comes from the Carnegie mills.
The calkers and carpenters at the
Church boatyards, Lakewood, struck to-
day against handling iron Orders manu-
featured at Carnegie's mills. A rumor has
been going around for two days that the
Duquesne men are dissatisfied and are
coming out again. The story cannot be
confirmed. Important developments are
looked for at the Union mills within the
next twenty-four hours, but just what the
move will be is not known. Some say the
strikers are getting ready to work at the
company's terms, but this is Indignantly
denied.
A sensational rumor to the effect that
Frick had resigned the Craftsmanship Of
the Carnegie Company was promptly de-
MED by that gentleman. The report that
Tricks life may again be in danger from
anarchists seems to be credited to some
extent by Frick, as well as by the Carnegie
officials and the police authorities. The
force of detectives is more than doubled at
the office Of the company, and every one
visiting there, unless well known to the
officers on duty, is subject to strict and
searching scrutiny and has to run the
gauntlet of inquisitive and interested eyes.

Joel heard my terrified call, and

the big octopus. Next he had out his

hacking at the tentacles.
The wholesale cutting OF its feelers

.ARMINC CAVALRY HORSES.
a New Weapon to Go Underneath the
Horses Girth.


Captain w. +. Peel, of the British
army, has invented and tested con-
trivance for adding to the effective
fighting strength of the cavalry. The
invention consists of an attachment
for rifles or other fire arms to the
harness Of cavalry horses in such IL
manner that they may. while 20 at

rider.

NAL the barrel passing between his

also fitted to the harness to support
and adjust the fire arm.
The rider is provided with means
for discharging the fire. while
the latter remains in the position
above described. These means may
consist OF mechanical electrical.
pneumatic or other appliances.

A bearing rein or other attachment
to the bit or bride is arranged to pre-
vent the animals head being lowered
when the gun is being fired.
Experiments with Captain Peel's at
tachment were made recently at the
Curragh and at the Pirbright and
proved that the rifle could be fired
with the attachment without starting
the horse and with fair degree OF
accuracy at short ranges.
1t has been objected that Captain
Peers invention could not be used with
the present cavalry drill but 1t may
very fairly be argued that drill should

Tho Probable strength Of the Peoples

tor In Democratic Calculations with
out New York Cleveland Has No SHOW.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-How will the
doubtful States vote In November nexts
In past years there were four States which
the politicians regarded as debatable
grounds-New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Indiana. This year the num-
Der is increased by the addition of Wis
consin. In 1888 President Harrison car
ried New York, Indiana and Wisconsin.
The control OF these States is more
necessary TO Democratic success than IL
is to Republican success. without New
York, AS between himself and President
Harrison, Mr.. Cleveland can hardly hope
to win. -Four years ago his entire cleo
again carry the same States their
representation In the electoral college will,
under the present apportionment. be in-
creased TO 1876. A majority of the Elec-
toral College this year is 223. Adding
seven votes In Michigan, which the Dem
method of choosing electors, Cleveland
will have 1S2 votes.
This leaves him Al short of the
needed majority. IL New York gave him
her 80 votes he would still need five ad-
ditionnal. which he may secure. by carry
ing Wisconsin or Indiana. He must
however. have New York. But for the
hope OF carrying that State the Demo
cratic outlook would be barren one, ex-
cept In the event that the third party
should develop sufficient strength to
throw the election into the House.
New Jersey is claimed as surely Demo
cratic. Connecticut is admitted to be
close aud the Peoples Party vote adds to
the uncertainty. A majority of it's
strength will come from the Democracy.
Bynum is claiming Indiana by 10000,
but there is more shout than backing TO
his claim. The next four months, It is
admitted, will have surprises for both
parties, but 1t is in New York that the
battle will be lost and won. How will
the Mugwumps vote. and how will the
workingmen take the free trade plank in
the tariff platform, These are questions
not much affected by any nights hooraw.
