THE STRIKE STILL ON.
No New Developments in the
Rolling Mill Trouble.

The strike at the West End Rolling
Mill is still Oh, and the informa ton was
given out yesterday thai it is likely TO
continue for some time.
The management says the mon will
not be taken back under any considera-
ton. They came here with the express
understanding that they were to receive
81. 10 ton. They worked few DAYS
and then quit.
A prominent official of the Roanoke
Iron Company said yesterday that the
mill will be started up again. but not
right away. In case it was started up
mono Of the strikers would be- employed.
They could not have quit us at a
better time" stated the official. 1--WE
are not compelled to run the mill at
present, and can afford to wait for other
hands to take the places of the strikers.
These mon are only hurting themselves.
The mill would have run right along
according to their first agreement"
1t was also hin6ed that an effort would
be made to fill the places of the strikers
with colored labor.
The strikers are not allowed to 90 on
the company's premises, and a strong
feeling exists. The men hold open air
meetings nearly ever day, and have ap-
pealed to the high authorities of their
union for relief. 1t is said that some of
them are in straig circumstances,
aud are now making arrangement is to
leave the city.
About one hundred and fifty men were
at work at the mill and all the puddlers,
sixty in number, went out, thus COM

No trouble has occurred, as the strik-
ers are very orderly and we'll behaved.
Some of them seem to regret that the
strike occurred.

here that Clarkson was drowned. and for
two weeks.the attorneys Of Omaha drag

were the resolutions worded that strong
men were moved to tears. Ciarkson
is nephew of the late Bishop
ClsrksQn, and ex-judge of the Dis

that to all intents and purposes his mind
has been blank for the last three months.
While at the lake he was seized with an
irresistible desire to tramp over the copn-
try. When he went to the lake ne took
second suit of clothes, and, leaving his old
clothing and all his valuables In a boat to
throw his friends off the scent, he disap-
peared. During all his wanderings he
knew who he was. but concealed his identi-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Some interesting
light upon the probable policy of the DEM

resentative Outhwsite, of Ohio. Mr.. Outh-
waite is chairman of the House committee
on military affairs. and is one of the best
informed and ssgsoious of the DEM
ocrstio leaders in Congress. He
said: 1T Is useless to anticipate

years ago. Everybody knows that the

Congress in time of peace always suffers de-

it is absurd TO suppose that the Democrats
in Congress intend TO roll mp their sleeves

IT WAS A BOGUS INTERVIEW.

The President DID Not Criticise the Man
ayers of the Campaign.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12-What purported
to be an indirect expression of the views of
the President upon the management of the
campaign and Its results, given through an
anonymous friend" appeared in q New
York Democratic paper 1.-THE Herald) this
morning. 1t may be said. positively, that
this indirect interview was wholly un-
authorized, and was filled with errors
and inaccuracies The Presidents has
uttered no criticlsn of Mr.. Carter,
Mr.. McComss, Mr.. Asuley or General
Clarkson. It in empha aticslly untrue that
the President has attributed in any degree
his defeat 10 the influence of any of the
Republican leaders, including Mr.. Piatt,
Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Cameron, who were 0p-
posed to his denomination at Minneapolis.
As matter of fact, the President became
satisfied early in the campaign
that all of the Republican leaders. what
ever their attitude before the Minneapolis
convention may have been, were loyal and
sincere In their support of the party and it's
candidate.
