"We did not propose to reduce the
earnings of our employees below
those of other amalgamated men in
other mills. AS I have said, we have
put in improved machinery which
other mills do not possess; it increas-
ed our output and increased the
earnings of our workmen. We asked
that reduction be made in these
departments SO that the earnings of
our employees would be on a par
with other workmen in amalgamated
mills. 1t is not a question of star
walton wages, for you will please
bear in mind the fact that the pro-
posed equalization of earnings effects

The Carnegie Shutdown Will Not In
terfere at the Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, July S.-William A. Pin
kertsn was in no amiable frame of
mind when reporter saw him, and
declared that he had resolved to say
nothing for publication regarding
affairs at Pittsburg. Incidentally he
remarked: "We held off until the
last moment on this business, but
our company having done Carnegie's g
work for years, they insisted that we
supply the watchmen"
Mr.. Pinkerton denied that he was
recruiting for 500 men to send East.
He said: "We are not recruiting
men and don't expect to. We have
enough in service to answer calls"
''The strike of the Pittsburg iron
men will not interfere at all with the
completion of the Worlds Fair bull
dings." said President Baker today.
''The only building on which the iron
is at all behind time is the big manu-
facturers' building. That contract
was let to the Edgemoor Bridge and
Building Company, of Delaware,
which is not at all concerned in the
Pittsburg troubles. Anyway, most
of the iron we contracted for with
them is now on the grounds. although
not in position in the building. In
nearly every other building on the
grounds the stage of iron construc-
tion has been passed, SO that the
dedicatory exercises cannot be delay

stead the serious riotfng has occur
red, is making a tour of Scotland.
The newspapers here continue to
attribute the disorders to the Nc
Kinley tariff bill, and profess surprise
at the Inability of the government

The st. James Gazette says: "The
proceedings show the very casual
way in which the law is regarded in
America
The Globe, in an article on The dis
orders, refers to Mr.. Carnegie, say
ing: "When he was making a tour
of England in well-fitted drag this
philanthropic millionaire did his best
to convince our work-people that
they could not be happy, prosperous
or free under a monarchy. Perhaps
he will now modify his anti monarch
ical learnings."

WASHINGTON, July S.-The big

After Finishing the Work of Distribu

tion of Bread to the Famishing.
Charles Emory Smith, minister to
Russia, has resigned. Among other
things in his letter of resignation, he
writes this:
''My service in this place has been
prolonged somewhat beyond my ex-
pectations, not only by the demands
of questions directly incident to the
mission, but by special obligations
connected with the reception and
distribution of the large and liberal
contributions sent by the people of
the United States during the past
few months to the suffering peasants
of Russia. This work was carefully
organized in order that the contri-
buttons might have full assurance of
the just and faithful application of
their gifts, and it has now been sub
stantlally completed. At the same
time, while thus happily enabled to
present the most signal evidence of
the friendly and humane sentiment
of the American people, l was not
unmindful of the duty of represent
ing your and their views of the re-
ciprocal obligation of the broadest
humanity without distinction of
race or creed, and of making suita
BILE efforts in that direction"
The resignation has been accepted
with regret.

JACKSONVILLE EXCITED.
State Troops Guarding the JaiI-Sixty
Arrests Made.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 9.-The
city is still excited over the demon
stration of armed colored men at the
Duvall county Jail, in this city. to
prevent, as they claim, the threaten
ed lynching of Benjamin Hede,
colored, charged with the murder of
Frank Burrows last Monday.
At nine O'Clock yesterday it was
raining hard, which helped material
ly to put a damper on those negroes
who are still disposed to carry 1rms
and to assemble unlawfully, includ-
ing three Jacksonville companies,
there are now eight companies of
Florida State troops on the ground

that there may be possibly 200
armed negroes within a radius of
half mile of the jail, but they are
concealed in cottages and back yards
and are making no demonstrations.
Several secret meeting have been held
by the negroes during the day, but
nothing can be learned as to any ac-
tion taken.
Up to II O'Clock last night sixty
arrests have been made and the
authorities are confident that the
worst is over.
Investigation shows that only one
negro was wounded in the scrimmage
at about 11:3O O'Clock last night
and his wound is not serious. Harry
Stout's wound was caused by the
accidental discharge of rifle as he
stood in the Jail door.

IT'S PHIL tARMouH's REVENGE.
IL is Said that Harrison NIortaIIy Of
fcndcd the Eich Packer

CHICAGO, July Tho Herald's
Washington correspondent says it is
well understood that Campbell has
abandoned the management of Mr..
Harrison's campaign at the request
of Phillip y. Armour, and says;
Mr.. Armour is not ms much in love
with Harrison as he was four years
ago, when he Joined Pullman and
other rich men in Chicago in swelling
the Indiana campaign fund at the
request of Law Partner Miller and
VIM. Wade Dudley.
Mr.. Dudley was, and is, Mr.. Ar
mour's $ legal representative in Wash
ingtOn, and when Harrison turned
Dudley down Mr.. Armour, who
always sticks by his friends, was
much disturbed
When this was followed by the re-
lection of Campbell for Collector of
the Port of Chicago, on the ground
that he had become "a common lob
byist" in the work of looking out
for the interests of Armours, whose
attorney he was the Indignation of
the house of Armour < Co. became
greater than ever,
1t is reported here-upon what
authority is not known-that Mr..
Armour has given it out that he is
not for Harrison this time, and will
vote for Cleveland.
Whether this is true or not it is
certain that Mr. Armour has taken
President Harrison's chosen cam
paign manager from him and thrown
the affairs of the Republican party
into dreadful confusion.
The confusion is everywhere appar-
ent in Washington today. The
President $ trnsted friends, Michenen,
Carter, Elkins, Rusk and others-alI
the Presidents frieuds, are office
holders-are in conference with Chair
man Campbell as to what shall be
done in the future. The President
wants Carter.
Phil Armour will not talk about
Campbell or his resignation, He
said yesterday:
81 haven't anything to say on the
subject. You must see Mr.. Custer,
Mr.. Campbell's partner, about that. :"

ing that he knows nothing about

OMAHA, July GA crazy man dis
turbed the session of the Third par
ty convention on the last day of the

He get on the platform and soon
showed that he was crazy on the

A crowd seized him but this made
him desperate. Chairman Loucks
proved a coward and dropping his
gavel got out of the way.
Powderly came to the rescue He
seized the gavel, demanded silence,
obtained it and then ordering the
crowd to let the crazy man loose, he
told him he would be allowed one
minute to speak. The man subsidized
at once and begged the conventions
pardon, finished his speech and sat
down.
Such a skillful leader as Powderly
must command the respect of all

ALICENSED ROBBER.
American Protection Has Made &
Rich Man Out of Carnegie.

American Protection Has Made a
Rich Man Out of Carnegie.
Synonomously with Carnegie's cut
in wages comes the announcement in
the New York Telegram that his
company has absorbed the iron and
steel works of Carnegie Phipps & Co.,
Limited; Allegheny Bessemer Steel
Co., and the keystone Bridge Com
pany at the Edgar Thompson Steel
works, DuQuesne Steel works, Home
stead Steel works, Lucy furnaces,
Keystone Bridge works, Upper I'm
ion mills, Lower Union mills, Beaver
Falls mills, Scotia Ore mines, Larime
Coke works and Youghiogheny Coke
works.
The company has a capital of
$25, 5,OOO. 600 and will employ 10000
men. The mills adopting the Carne-
gle scale of wages are about 400 in
number. They all closed down last
Friday leaving 100000 men out of
employment.
Here are some facts about this
great "robber baron:'
Andrew Carnegie, who is now sum-
mering in Scotland, was once poor
man. Being gifted with more than
usual astuteness he set about to bet
ter his condition, like other poor
men, but instead OF following the
biblical injunction and earning his
daily bread in the sweet of his brow,
he got a few privileges from a too
generous government which enabled
him to travel the royal road to rich
es. These privileges were of enor-
nous value. By means of them he
increased his wealth from nothing to
$20,O0O,OO0. They also enabled
him to increase the wages of his en-
ployees, but strange to say he did
not do this. Instead he bought him
a castle in Scotland and built a
palace and fortress in Pennsylva-
MIA. He is now trying to reduce the
wages in order to make heavy con-
tribution to the campaign fund OF
the Republican party, which promis-
es him still more privileges in the
event of success. This is the whole
philosophy of Andrew Carnegie and
every other man who has grown rich
at the expense of American people.
