GERMAN CABINET CHANGES.
Count OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Succeeds
DR.. Won BOetticher.

BERLIN July 1.-Count Posadowsky

ury has been gazatted by the successor
of DR.. Won Boetticher, the vice president
of the Council Of Ministers and secretary
of state for interior taking, however, only

Since the accession of Emperor William

Prussia has had four premiers, while alto

ministers and eight German secretaries of
state who have resigned. These constant
changes are scarcely palatable even to

feature of the situation is the fact that
while nominally the chancellorship Is not
changed the real lieutenanCy is divided be-

DIR. MIGUEL in Prussia. This separation of
responsibility has already been tried in the
chancelorship by Prince Bismarck and
satisfactory results. Therefore little is hoped
from the new arrangement. Count Posa-

little political influence and no ability as a

OVER $4,000 MEN IDLE,
Pending Adjustment of the Iron and
Steel Work ers' Scale.

PITTBURG, July las a result of the
failure Of the joint wage conference of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers and manufacturers to agree upon
the scale at the Youngstown conference
yesterday, all the union mills are closed
down to-day and between $4,000 and 5000
men are idle This includes the skilled
workmen and those depending on them.
President Garland returned from Youngs-
town last night When seen to-day he said
he was not discouraged at the outlook, but
looked for a settlement after the annual
repairs at the mills have been completed.
This morning the employees of Jones e.
Laughlin met and discussed the proposed
Is per cent reduction in wages which, it is
said, is contemplated. 1t is said that the
meeting reported unfaVorably upon the
proposition. The general suspension of
work cannot be regarded as either q strike
or lockout Repairs are always made at
this season of the year and many manufac-
turers do not sign the scale until after their
plants have been OVerhauled. This usually
takes two or three weeks. In the mean
time the conference committee will meet
and cndeaVor to settle the difficulties. If
the committee find that an agreement is
impossible the strike can then be consid-
cred as on in earnest. The conference on
the tin plate scale will be resumed to-mor-
row by the committees of the manufacture
ers and the Amalgamated Association. All
the tin-plate mills in the country, with the
exception of four nonuniOn concerns, are
idle, and a number of manufacturers are
anxious 10 get to work. The workers insist
that they will make no concessions, while
the manufacturers are willing to grant
at least 10 per cent of an advance over the
present rates.
Three more signatures to the Amalga-
mated scale were received to-day. They
were: Muncie Iron and Steel Company, Pc
ninsula Car Company and Jones q
Laughlin for the structural departments;
mills Nos. IL and u, Anderson, Depuy x Co,
operating a nonunion mill at McKees
Rocks, near here, ordered a cut in wages

The Doctor Mixes with CheaD-Lunch
Eaters and Learns Something.

NEW YORK. July Rev. T. De Witt
Talmage, of Washington, visited the Bow
cry to-day and found it very quiet and well
behaved, not much like the place that he
visited ten years ago and on whose iniqui-

in company with friend, dropped into the
Bowery Mission Annex restaurant, where
cents is the price Of a meal and 10 cents
buys a feast. On high stool, fenced
around by the sort of bird cage which may
sometimes be seen in ZOO" sat a clerk
giving out and 10-cent meal tickets TO long
lines of dirty, red-nosed men. DR.. Talmage
stepped quietly to the end of the line.
In front of him was a gentleman who had
just finished a three weeks term at the
island. Behind him came a gray haired
veteran of the sidewalks, just discharged
fom the alcoholic ward at Bellevue. The
doctor bought a 10-cent ticket and sat

and with tact he drew from them many

story.

DR.. Talmage

does not matter"
I've eaten many a worse dinner in

as he came out. The company is good
deal more interesting that most of the com

up the BoWery, noting the changes-nis-
sions where the dives used to be, the streets
clean, the people orderly. 1.-The church and
good laws have done their work" the
doctor said.

FusiOnists Have Agreed to Lead Pop
uiists Into the Bryan Camp.

ATLANTA, Ga, July Thomas E. Wat
son, in a signed editorial in to-day's issue
of the Peoples Party Paper, charges that
the fusionists have entered into a compact
TO deliver the Populist vote TO the Demo-
Gratis in 1900, and that the $1500 recently
contributed to the POpulist fund by Mr.
Bryan out of the proceeds of his book sales
is the first installment of the purchase
money. His editorial concludes as follows:
I'VE could wish that Mr.. Bryan had kept
his money in his pocket. He has made a
mistake-just as he made a mistake when
he joyously rushed a telegram of congratu-
latiOn to Mckinley. How such a devoted
champion OF the people could find it in his
heart TO rejoice al the election of the rep
resentative of gold bugs and corporations
we have not yet been able TO comprehend.
But, having thrown out these few remarks
we recur to our question: Why have the
fusion Populists taken Bryan's money if
they are not under obligation to deliver
him the POpuiiSt vote in lg002'
