struck GriHths a fearful blow on the
back of the head, and while Griffiths
was falling, Absalom hit him again
The man expired instantly.
FIourishing the axe, Absalom rush
ed along the street and feIled another
man with a terrible blow between the
shoulders Constable NormoyIe then
arrived on the scene and rushed at Alb
SALON. A struggle ensued, but the con-
stable and two citizens wrested the
axe from the Afghan and handcuffed
him. a great crowd gathered and cries
of Lynch him. were raised. The
police had some difficulty in removing
Absalom to the cells
The murderer is supposed to be I'M
known to the men aSsailed. The sec
ond man whose name is Thomas Hen
derson, is in the hospital in a criti-
aal condition.

Was This the Dog That Bit Edward
Stephens.

Frank Kingsland, city. license .collec-
tor. was this morning arrested by Ser
geant Ellison on a warrant issued by
Judge Ferry charging him with keep
ing a vicious dog. The complaint was
drawn up by City Attorney BIRD ana
sworn to by Edward stephens, the col
Ored man who is at the head OF the m
duStral institute in South Topeka. He
claimed that Saturday in passing Mr.
Kinglands house at 1416 Kansas ave

to DR.. Howard and the latter cauteriz-
ed a small wound on the mans leg
which he said had been made by the
dog.

geant Ellison, with a f'fiendish smile
on his face stepped up to him and told
him that he was under arrest.

ssWeI, here's the dog" said Kings
land lifting a tiny rat terrier out Of
his buggy. The little animal frisked
about and wagged his tail joyfully.

BIG CUT IN WAGES:
Less Than "a Per Cent of the Illinois
Steel Company's Employees Will
EscaDe

Joliet, Ill, Jan. 1.-THE cut which is
to be made February 1 in the wages
of the employees of Illinois Steel COM
pany will affect nearly so per cent of
the Joliet employees of that institution,
in spite of the positive statements put
in circulation. in the last week that the
cut would be but slightly felt here.
OF the entire list of employees, those
who work in the rod mill and a few
of those who are employed in the billet
mill only will escape the cut Their
wages are reduced between Il, and 20
per cent. The cut affects all of the
employees who are not working under
contracts. The numbeE, of employees
in the different departments are: rod
mill, $50; converting mill. 400; billet
mill, 800; merchants mill. 200; blast fur
naces, 300; yard and miscellaneous, 500;
total 1910 Practically all of the en-
ployes of the rod mill are working on
tonnage contracts, between twenty-five
and thirty only being employed on fixed
salaries. Thus it will be seen that of
the 2,07O employees. only 425 or less than
"A per cent, are exempted from the cut
in wages.

AN AIRY PROJECT.
Mill Workers Talk of Putting Up an
Immense Steel Plant Themselves.

Pfttsburg, Jan. IA gigantic pro-
ject is to be carried out by a joint stock
company of western Pennsylvania mill
workers. 1t is the building of a great
iron and steel plant at Port Angeles on
Puget sound northwest of Seattle,
Wash. The plant will cover thirty
acres and the cost will be about 1,500,-
600 to 100000. Work will begin in

holders in Homestead, McKeesport,
Pittsburg Braddock and Allegheny.
The stock rates at $500 per share.
Many of the Carnegie mill workers
and Westinghouse employees are inter-
ested in the project. The plan was
formulated some months ago by George
M Nimon, a pattern maker at the Ed
gar Thomson Steel works for the last
twelve years, and son of G. NJ. Nimon,
ST, master carpenter and pattern maker
at those works. The board of trade
and chamber of commerce of Port An
geles offered an immense bonus, which
was accepted 1t includes so acres of
land for the manufacturing site for a
toWnsite with a right of way for tracks
to the Port Angeles wharves. which are
deep enough for heavy draught ships,
with 500 feet wharfage, and water
power and right of way to develop the
same.
The officers of the company are
George NJ. Nimon, president; Thomas
j. Murphy of Ptitsburg, vice president;
E. M. George of Port Perry, secretary,
and VIM. ]. Weisser of Allegheny, treas
rrer. The stock books win be open
till April. The plant will employ 1000
men and the stockholders will be given
the preference of jobs. The company
has 500 acres of iron land and 1000
acres of coal land. The plant will con-
sist of a blast furnace of 800 tons ca
pacity; thirty thirty-ton open hearth
furnaces. a bloom and billet mill, rod
mill, a bar mill, wire and nail mill,
a sheet mill, a tin plate mill, foundry,
machine shop, blacksmith shop and

TO BE NO MORE WARS
Between United States and Great
Britain Now.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE proposition
for a general arbitration treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain is now an accomplished fact
Lord Salisbury has aSSented to the last
suggestion from this side and nothing
now remains but the attachment of the
formal signatures of Secretary Olney
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the latter
having been clothed with the neces-
sary authority by Lord Salisbury.
These signatures will be affixed today.
OF course the treaty unlike the
Venezuelan agreement, must be
submitted to the United
States for it's approval and in view of
the short time remaining of the pres
ent session of congress, every effort
will be made to have it submitted to
that body at the earliest possible mo-
ment, probably within a day or two.
The general scope of the treaty, is
as has been outlined, exclusively in
the Associated Press dispatches. While
details are not yet Obtainable, it can
be stated that ample provision has
been made to guard against a failure
of the arbitrator to agree through a
tie vote. Proper propision has been
made in such case for reference of the
matter to a, deciding authority, who
will be fixed upon in each case by the
tribunal itself. 1t was Secretary OIL
ney's insistence upon the absolute ne
cessity of guarding against a tie vote
which led to delay in the final draft
of the treaty after the details had been
adjusted to the common satisfaction of
the representatives of the two nations.

The fourth number in the high school
library course will be given at the
Grand Opera House on Wednesday
evening, January 20, by Americas
greatest pianist, VIM. H. Sherwood, as
sisted by the celebrated Sherwood
quartette. That Mr.. Sherwood's repu-
tatiOn as an eminent pianist is not con-
fined to America is shown by the fol-
lowing clippings:
Mr.. Sherwood proved himself to be
pianist of most prominent Characters
tics, such as highly developed tech
nique, great bravura and accuracy and
fine musical powers of Interpretation.

Mr.. Sherwood is supported by Miss
Jenny Osborn, the possesOr of an ex-
quisite mezzo- soprano voice, rich, full

quality; Frank S. Hannah, tenor, whose

the nearer scarcely realizes the remark
able range of his voice; Miss Mabelle
Crawford, who, with her magnificent
contralto voice clear and distinct vocal
ization and winning manner, captivates
the audience; VIM. A. Derrick, one of
Chicago's greatest bassos and Miss
Fay Foster, who has proved herself a
most valuable accompanist All the
artists are given an opportunity to dis
play their ability in solos of their own
choosing, and as a finale an entire act
from the opera Faust" is given in
