ARRANGING THE SCALES.
Conferences Over the Amalgamatet
Association Wage Schedules.

PITTSBURG. June 22.-<Ail the iron, steel
sheet and tin-plate scales of wages for the
year beginning July /. made by the ANAL
gamated Association OF Iron. Steel and
Tin-plate Workers, must be settled before
Tuesday of next week. If these scales in
any of the departments are NOT signed 1t
will mean suspension of work in the
union mills until an agreement is reached.
In the tin-plate branch conference there
was disagreement. but there seems to- be
no doubt that the conference committees
of both sides will come together again be-
fore Saturday and either compromise or
agree TO the Amalgamated Association
scale In the scale for sheet-mil workers
no date has yet been fixed for another con-
ference. but II Is probable that they will
meat. There may be fight. however, as
the union mills must all close Saturday
night unless the wage question is def
nitely arranged No conference on the bar
iron scale has yet been held. but one with
the Pittsburg manufacturers has been
fixed for Wednesday In this city. The
most important bar-iron conference will be
held at Youngstown on Thursday
President Garland. Of the Amagamated
Association. said he did not anticipate any
trouble I'm arranging the scales. and ne be-
licves that all viii be satisfactorily settled.
He did not say definitely when they would
be settled. but IL is hardly likely that All
win be fixed up this week. This will be
because the manufacturers will hold off
for a period in order to make some neces-
sary repairs TO the mills.

SENSATION At YALE.
DR.. TvvftchelI Condemns Planting of
Ivy for GEN. II. T.. Lees Grave.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 23.rThere
was a tremendous sensation the Yale
campus this afternoon caused by an un-
expected remark of Rev. Dr. Joseph
Twitcheli. of Hartford, during his oration
at the dedication of the Woolsey memorial
statue. 1t arose from the fact that the
ivy planted this afternoon was from the
grave of Gen. Robert Z. Lee. Rev Mr.
Twitchell holds position among the Yale
alumni second only TO that of Chauncey
NJ. Depew and his words are always given
great weight In the course of his speech,
referring to Professor Wo5lsey, DR.. Twitch-
ell said:
'.He was a Union man. heart and soul.
and IL would make this bronze statute avert
its head were he TO know that the gradual
ing class of Yale were TO plant on the wallis
of building on the campus an IVY from
the grave Of Gen. Robert T.. Lee. General
Lee was a good man. but he was loyal to
an infamous cause.
This utterance came like thunderclap
from clear sky. but there was no demon
stration until he had finished. and then the
condemnatory words were freely criticized.
The consensus of opinion among the pro-
fessors and seniors that the remarks
were at least ill-advised. Immediately
after the dedicatory exercises the ivy COM
mittee held a meeting and the proposition
was made to change the ivy, but IL was
voted down and IL was planted with the
usual ceremonies.

The reports of Just how the accident hap
pened are somewhat conflicting One re-
port Is that the engine had just left Dou-
cette and had jumped the track. The men
crowded around to get the engine back.
when the explosion occurred. Another re-
port says the men were in the cab when
the accident occurred. Tie engine was
what is known as a Shay. with the ma
chinery on one side and the drivers pro-
PEELED by cogwheels. Just what caused the
explosion will probably never be known.
The water which supplied the engine has
been low and muddy, and the sediment is
supposed to have caked in the bottom OF
the boiler until 1t became dangerous. An
other reason given is that the engineer let
his water get low with hot fire. and
turned on the injector. An eyewitness says
he heard the noise and squatted between
the ties and looked. Iron flew through the
sky like shot and carried everything in it's
path The men who met death never knew
what killed them. A sharp report, a rain
like patter Of iron and II was all over Six
of the dead were buried near the scene Of
their death, and the remains of Mr.. Dou-
cette were brought here and forwarded to
