DANVILLE, Ill, July 3.-From presentin-
dications there will be no strike in the Dan
vile district The miners here have been
apparently satisfied, except those working
in Kellys mines These latter claim that
owing to the fact that they have no check
weighing man, they have been at the mercy
of Kelly, who has refused to pay the men
anything unless the coal in the car weighed
5000 pounds, and if there were more than
5000 pounds declining to pay them for the
overweight. This afternoon the operators
of the Kelly mines yielded to every demand
of the men, granting them an increase of
z cents for screen and 215 cents for mine
run coal, allowing the men to elect a check
weighman of their own and agreeing to pay
the men for all coal mined without regard
to the weight of coal in the coal car. The
men then decided to go back to work

SPRING VALLEY. Ill.,, July 3-The two
thousand miners of Spring Valley gave up
their places in the mines and went on strike
to-day. 1t will not be known until Monday
morning whether the company men and

this suspension the company has not been
able TO stock up its customers to any great
extent, which is decidedly in favor of the

suffer if the suspension is protracted. Tele-

Agreement Affects 5000 skilled EN-

Work ON Tuesday.

PITTSBURG. July 3-Skilled tin-plate
workers identified with the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
scored a decisive victory to-day. They Sc
cured advance in wages and a protec-
tive clause that tinned-plate mi is Will not
manufacture sheet iron. The orkers are
jubilant and look the future with nope
fulness, as it is claimed that the signing
of the remaining scales of the association
is but a question of time
The conference between the scale COM
mittee and a committee of manufacturers
adjourned this morning after having been
in session two days. The workers wanted
an advance of 10 per cent, which the man
ufacturers were not inclined to give. A
readjustment was made, which would give
the workers an average advance of about
S$4 per cent. After considerable discussion
the workers agreed to the proposition, pro-
vided the manufacturers signing the scale
would agree to give them a protective
clause guaranteeing that the tinned-plate
mills would not manufacture sheet iron in
the event of the market for tin becoming
depressed The proposition was agreed to-,
and both sides adjourned apparently well
satisfied.
The settlement means much to the
workers. 1t is estimat ted that more than
five thousand workers are affected, and
many plants will resume work Tuesday
morning. A steady run for some time is
promised. The settlement will have a
marked effect on Fastening signatures to
the remaining scales, especially the sheet
iron scale. Nearly all the tin-Dlate manu-
facturers in the Pittsburg district have Or
ders enough to keep their plants running
for the next six months. In a few plants
the entire output for the next year has
been already sold.

FEARS ABOUT FORSEMAN
Nothing Heard of the Wisconsin
Railroad Man for a Week.
He Was Suppos ed to Have Left Wa sis

Nothing of His whereabouts.

William M. Forseman, the railroad man
from Madison, Wis, who was held up and
relieved of his pocketboOk containing $50
and railroad tickets by chance acquaint-
ance last Monday night ON Ohio avenue.
has been reported TO the police as lost,
and his friends in this city and the West
are not a little concerned regarding his
welfare
It was supposed that Forseman left the
city on Wednesday morning after the
hold-up, but kilograms received from his
relatives in Wisconsin indicate that the
man has not returned home, and they have
heard nothing from him since he left Madi-
son now more than two weeks ago
Mr.. FOIseman has been connected with
the Northwestern Railroad for more than
twenty years, during considerable por-
tion of which time he has been division
superintendent, stationed at Madison His
father has also been chief of the land office
bureau in that city for many years. and
the family is widely known throughout
the Northwest.
ON the night of the robbery, Forseman
was much intoxicated. and represented
that he had been held up by man whom
he had met in a saloon and had been with
during the day. During that afternoon,
however, he called at the Capitol 10 pay his
respects to Senator Spooner, but remained

men whom Policemen Carlson and Meilen

Forseman had many friends in this city,
and large credit, which enabled him TO
procure more money, with which, he tcId

His friends say that he has been in the
habit Of going away on periodical sprees
and fear that he has met with some mis-
fortune. He did not notify his relatives at
home OF the robbery. a nd they have had DO
word from him since he left for the East
