and was preceded by an alteration. At
6:l0 y. m. beer quarters were sounded
and the men took their positions IN line
on the forward deck, to receive their ra-
tions Of beer. Carter was among the num-
Der. He had been absent during the af-
ternoon, and had been drinking and was
in a quarrelsome mood He insisted on
pushing the others aside, and Kenny. no.
ticing his condition, took him out of the
ranks and refused to allow the beer to
be served to him. Carter then seized a
bottle of beer. and the master-at-arms
took Il from him and reported him TO the
officer of the deck. For this Carter was
severely reprimanded. This lead TO the

Richmond, Va, June SO.-The Episcopa-
cy of the diocese Of the Virginia In session
here to-day elected Rev. DIR. Robert Glib
son of Christ church, Cincinnati, bishops
co-adjutator with right of succession to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Bishop John b. Newton. DIR. Gibson is
native of Petersburg. and a son of the
late Rev. DR.. Churchill Gibson of that
city
Rev. DR. Gibson is about a years of
age and early in life he married daughter
of Hon. A II. II. Stuart of Staunton. He
was educated at Hampden and Sydney
and the Episcopal Theological Seminary
at Alexandria. He was for a long time
assistant to the late Rev. DR.. Peterkin at
St. James church here, and went from this
point to the Episcopal church at Parkers-
burg, w. Va. He remained at his work

made by Rev. Mr.. Lee that Mr.. Gibson
leaned toward broad churchmanship. The
allegation was promptly denied, but 1t Gre
ated a little rifle in the convention. The
same charge was made to-day, but the
council refused to consider 1t.

KEY VESTS coLLECToRsHIP.
Lively Fight on Between FIoridn's
Rival Republican Factions.

Washington. June 90.--Some of the Flor
ida politicians, who are in the city, are
aroused over statements abour the Key
West collectorship
One thing which excites their ire more
than anything else Is the charge that Ma
tional Committeeman Long has formed a
combination. with his old-time opponents
for the disposition of the Key West office.
II. S. Chubb, one of the Florida leaders
who has come on here, emphatically de-
MES that he and others OF his faction are
supporting J. f. Horr for collector, as
against George w. Allen, who is said TO
have the Endorsement of majority Of the
Gunby faction. to which Mr.. Chubb be-
longs, while MIR. Horr has Reimbursement
of only one of the Gunby men.
Mr. Chubb denies that National Commit
teeman Long has formed combination
with the Gunby people In this matter, or
any other. He says that Judge Long has
taken the position that both factions In
Florida shall be recognized, that the par
~ may be united and harmonious. Judge
Longs position is approved by all except
a few republicans, who desire to dictate
the distribution of the offices, he said
The supporters OF Mr.. Horr say that he
was the original mckinley man OF tlori-
da while Mr.. Allen was strong for Levi
Z. Morton. They also say that National
Committeeman Long was the true and
tried friend of President Mckinley. The
Horr people also attack j. N. Strlpling,s
who is one of the leading supporters of
Mr. Allen. Mr.. Striplings own congreR-
sional district, they say has passed reso-

IRON MILLS To SHUT DOWN.
The Manufacturers and the Employ
es Fail to Agree ON Wages.

Youngstown, o., June 30.--Every mill in
the United States whose wage scales are
under the Jurisdiction of the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
workers, VIII shut down tonight. These
mills altogether employ $4,000 men who
are members of the Amlagamated Asso-
citation, besides those who are not. The
general shut down win take place about
July TO-
The association committee were In ses-
sion all afternoon and did not get any
further than the pudding rates. The COM
mittee held out for $3.50 ton for pudding
and the manufacturers refused to bulge
from their stand for 81. An adjournment
sine die was finally taken, each side to let
the other know when 1t had experienced
a change of heart. All the visiting manu-
facturers and delegates left at once for
their homes.
Just before he left, President Garland of
the Amalagamated Association received
kilograms saying the new scale had been
adopted by the Newport Rolling Mill Com
pany, of Newport, KY, and the Peninsu-
lar Car Company of Detroit.
Pittsburg, Pa, June SO.-The wage strug-
gle this year promises to be protracted be-
cause of the wide divergence between
workers and manufacturersf The steel,
sheet iron, tin plate. flint glass, bottle
blowers and window glass workers are all
interested in the outcome of the wage con-
ference being held. The manufacturers
have been late to call for meetings and
reluctant to sign when approached for a
settlement.
The suspension OF work In the steel
mills, with the addition of the coming big
coal strike will be the biggest suspen-
sion of business at one time for years.
The tin plate. manufacturers will hold
another conference with the workers wage
committee Saturday. Every tin plate mill
in the country closed down this evening,
throwing about 1900 people out of work.
The shrewdest guessers cannot tell when
the tin plate scale will be signed.
There will be trouble when the flint
glass workers seek to have the chimney
scale signed. The manufacturers want a
decided reduction, and are after 1t hard.
The stubborn fight put up by the flint
glass workers are proverbial. and a long
shut down is anticipated In this industry.
No trouble is anticipated over the remain
ing glass scales. There is no telling when
the window glass war will be settled, and
the workers are in no hurry to come to-
gether for a conference. About 1900 men
are involved in the scale.
1t was reported on the street to-day
that Jones & Laughlin demanded reduc-
tiop in wages of the amalgamation scale
al tltaging Is per cent. This is scarcely
credible. If the coal miners strike mate
rializes on Saturday, the number Of work
men out of employment win reach the
high figure of at least 100000 men.

A strong Probability That II VIII De

Washington, June 3O.--Senators say
rather confidently to-day that a vote can
be reached on the tariff bill Saturday.
They say that nothing could be gained
by having the final vote taken before that
day as the bill cannot be sent to the
House before Monday, and into conference
before Wednesday. Prominent republican
senators say that there is a general un-
derstanding, though not definite. that tho
bill Will reach final vote Saturday, but
the democrats have entered into no agree
ment, nor do they feel under any restric-
tions by any implied understanding. Oc-
casion, they say, may arise, which will
induce them TO debate some paragraphs
longer than they now anticipate.
