Congregation of Ministers.


Pittsburg, May l9.--The confmission-
ers to the Presbyterian General assem-
bly, distributed themselves today over
the city. taking in the sermons of the
churches greatest preachers. Modera-
tor Booth attracts the largest number.
His congregation was an audience of
Rrey-haired ministers, many of them
worthy to be called fathers oc the
church. 1t was an audience such as a
Presbyterian preacher may hope to face
but once in his existence as It can be
gathered only by the honored name of
moderator. DR.. Booth departed from
the rule of moderators and preached a
gospel sermon.
Previous moderators. led by the burn
ing interests in the theological disputes
before the assemblies which they have
been called to moderate, have chosen to
defend the faith of the church in the
Bible and standards. But DR.. Booth
picked out theme that might suit any
pastor in any pulpit, far removed from
theological controversy and doctrinal
strife.
His subject was: Christ Lifted up
to Draw the World Unto Him"

Washington. May 19.-The supreme
court of the United States will reJas-
semble tomorrow. 1t is expected that
the decision upon the income tax cases
will be announced tomorrow. but 1t Is
not absolutely certain that this will be
done.
one fact, however, seems conclusive
ly established, which is that the fate Of
the income tax law has been definitely
settled one way or the other. That
point was settled when the court met
in the conference on May II, and JUS
tice Jackson announced his views and
cast his vote So that there Is nothing
in the rumor that a further consulta-
ton is necessary before the decision
can be stated.
Should the chief justice announce the
opinion and Judgment of the court to-
morrow this announcement may not
be made until some time after the court
convenes, at IL o'clock. Decisions are

court would adjourn tomorrow for the
summer recess. but the condition OF

will be resumed in four of the largest
West Virginia mines on Tuesday.

attack the works. If these operations
go along successfully the strike can
not succeed. There was considerable

the door of a house at the works; in
another a ball struck the earth within

MRS. LANGTRY ROBBED,
Jewels Valued at 100000 Taken
from a Depository on "a
Forged Order.

London, Sept. 19.-During the absence
of Mrs. Langtry on the continent, q forged
order was presented at her bank fcr her
jewel box, which contained $2G0,G00
worth of jewels. The box was deliy-
cred to the bearer of the order. Mrs
Langtry returned home few days ago
and today she sent to the bank for her
jewels, when she learned that the box
had been delivered, unGer the circum-
stances as indicated, on August q. Mrs.
Langtry Immediately drove to the office
of Sir George Lewis, O. O., her legal
adviser, and informed him of what had
taken place. Scotland Yard was 1T once
notified of the robbery.
Up to the present time no trace has
been found of the missing jewels. There
is reason to believe that the value placed
upon the jewels which have so mysteri-
ously disappeared is not exaggerated as
they have long been famous and included
three tiaras, one being of diamonds and
pearls, another of diamonds and rubies
and third of diamonds and turquoises
besides several necklaces and rivieres
The box in fact contained nearly all
the gems and precious stones that Mrs

The commissioners had been invited to
the general offices of the Pittsburgh
burn Flour Mill company to look into its
business methods At the moment of
their visit Charles A. Pillsbury, the man
aging director, was having a conference
with delegation of employees who asked
for a restoration of wages. Mr.. Pills
bury asked his visitors to listen to the
discussion, an invitation they gladly ac-
cepted. Statements of both sides were
made Mr.. Pillsbury showing that the
milling business had been without profit
for four years and the men replying that
it was profitable now. The reduction of
20 per cent. in wages still stands and
they want it removed. After the discus
sion had progressed for some time Mr.
Pillsbury turned to the commissioners
and asked for their opinion. Commits
sioner i. G.. Powers of Minnesota diplo-
matically parried this query by pointing
out that it would be manifestly improper
to express an opinion. But the commits

the Pig Iron Being Produced.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 19.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: "After

finished material is concerned, the trade
is questioning whether the limit of the
advance has been reached. The heavy
production of pig iron since September
Ia yearly rate of 100000 tons ac
cording to one set Of blast furnace fig
ures, and Of 100000 tons by the East

reserves talked of about three months
ago in discussions of prices have at last
got in line. Whether unsold stocks shall
begin to grow again will be decided by
the ability of the country to continue
to use I'D iron at weekly rate of 200,-
600 tons. The probability of foreign
material putting a stop to the advance
on this side is less imminent since prices
abroad have gone up On Bessemer iron
foreign quotations have advanced ST.
and 81 so in the past few weeks Ia the
week just ended there have been evil
dences of weakness in Bessemer at Pitts
burg, but whether this is only the result
of maneuvering for position by large
buyers and will be succeeded by fresh
advances carrying the price TO new
notch, or whether it is notice that the
limit of high prices has been reached,
will be determined in the near future"

STRIKE NEARLY OVER.
Miners will Probably Vote to Return
to Work at Today's
Meeting.

Ishpeming, Mich, Sept. 19.-[Special.1
Over 200 Of the Ishpeming strikers APP
piled for work at the mines yesterday aft
ernoon. Seventy-five of these arranged
to begin work at the Lake Superior sec
ton p mine this morning, but all but
twenty-seven of them were persuaded by
the strikers to not go to work. About
300 men were at the mine between 6 and
Z o'clock, but they offered no threats to
those who had agreed to work. The
strikers. promised that if those who had
come around to work would remain out
today, the union would meet in the after
noon and declare the strike off.
The strikers marched to the park 500
strong at 80 O'Clock and it is generally
thought they will vote to go back to
work.
The Dexter mine, eight miles west of
here, will resume operations tomorrow
morning with a force of fifty men. The
wage rate will be based on the scale
proposed by the company four weeks
ago.
1t is quite possible that the trouble will
end this week and the troops will be
withdrawn Saturday or Sunday.
