YOUNGSTOWN. o., Aug, 2.-Ths
main points of the finishars scale had
been agreed upon at 1880 p, m. though
the conference was still in session with
fair prospects of continuing two or
three hours or going over until to-mor-
row to settle lot OF minor point.
The scale. so far as agreed on, provid-
ed for ls per cent cut for wages of roll
ers and heaters on the finishing mills,
and a seven and one-half per cent re-
duction for the roughers. The latter.
after q struggle lasting all through
the conference up TO late this evening,
gained concession OF two and one
half per cent from the manufacturers,
they having made repeated demands for
q 10 per cent reduction.
Some minor points relating TO the bar
mill, plate mill and skelp mill remain
to be settled without any difficulty. so
that the whole trouble between the iron
manufacturers and the Amalgamated
Association Is practically at an end for
another year.
Several Of the local manufacturers
said tonight that their mills will be in
operation In day or two and that they
had every reason 10 believe that busi-
ness will be booming in the Mahoning
Valley before another week goes BY.

FAIRMoNT, W. Va, Aug. Zone by
one additions are being made to the
number OF strikers in the Fairmont dis
trlet under the efforts or Joseph W. Rea
and one assistant. Eleven hundred and
thirty men are now with the strikers,
while nearly three times that number
are still at work. 1t Is thought that
this will not be the case week hence.
Rea's work among the miners is prov
ing very successful. The secret OF the
general strike, however. should there be
one, Is that the operators are getting no
contracts OF over ten days duration.
The men say there Is not permanent
benefit for them so they Will join the
strikers,
Rea addressed q good meeting at
Worthington to-day. and is very hope
ful this evening. Tomorrow a monster
meeting will be held here. Rea says he
is careful not to say anything that Will
violate Judge Mason's injunction.
A misunderstanding OF Special Judge
Masons injunction here Is general
among newspaper readers He simply
granted the Injunction to the operators
and has never heard the organizers side.
The Injunction has not been served on
anyone. and he gave out his reasons for
granting the Injunction and has not
made IL permanent.

or the Solomon Group-How the Afralr
was Accomplished.


VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 2.Lrhe
steamer Mowers which arrived from
Sydney, brought details of the recent
annexation OF the Solomon group. The
work was done by her British majesty's
ship, Wallaroo. The first island made a
colony was Bellona. which the Walla-
roo reached on July 10. The linton
Jack was holsted with the usual cere-
monies. The natives were very shy at
first and much frightened by the salute
but they became reassured on the ship
leaving, and removed the notice of the
board OF annexation and dug up the
bottle containing the proclamation.
The entente cordlaie was first estab-
hshed by the ship rescuing native
blown out TO sea Is canoe.
Runnell Island was also placed under
British protection the same day. The
island Is difficult of access and no ma
tipes were seen.
The wallaroo called at Matu Sound
and proceeded TO the Stewart Islands,
annexing them. The natives are OF a
high type and very friendly. They
were much pleased at becoming British
subjects.
Runnell and Bellona lie to the south
ward OF Guadalcanar, in the Solomon
group, and were apparently discovered
by Captain Wilkinson in the indlspens-
able in 1890. Il Is said copper ore Is
abundant on them. According to Lieu
tenant Richards. Runnel Island Is about
forty-flve miles long and six or seven
broad. OF a uniform height OF four hum
dred feet, densely wooded, but appar-
emily affords no anchorage, The natives
resembled those on Tannn, IN the New
Hebrldes. All the islands are rich III

A Notification OF tho Recent Circular Has
Been sent Oni.
WASHINGTON, Aug. "A modlfca-
ton of the recent circular OF instruc-
lions to collectors of internal revenue
has been made and will be sent out to-
day. These Instructions declared that
all packages OF smoking tobacco, fine
cut chewing tobacco, or cigarettes con-
tanning articles prohibited by section
ten OF the new tariff act, or having such
articles attached or connected there
with, or advertising any promise or
offer Of gift. reward or prize contrary
to the provision OF the new act are sub
ject to seizure.
The new order directs that all VIOLA
tlons OF this section OF the act be re-
ported to the commissioner Of Internal
revenue. but no seizures shall be made
without specific Instructions from him.
Some question has arisen as 10 the
power OF the department In the pre-
misses. The contention is made that
congress has no power 20 fix by law
regulations governing the packing of
articles subject TO Internal revenue un-
less in some way the power or conven-
lence OF the government IN the collection
ls affected. Also that this provision Is
In restraint OF trade, and interferes
with Legitimate business. Until the de-
pnrtment hns determined the question
no seizures Will be made under this pro-
vision OF the law.

make matters worse every native who
helped white man was marked for the
tomahawk.
The remnant OF these white pioneers
went to Vanapa for final effort TO
make their fortunes and return. Their
stores gave out and for months they
lived on "damper" and tea. Natives In
the vicinity claimed TO be ill-treated by
the government In the way OF scant
stores and decided to teach the govern
ment lesson by massacrelng all the
whites within reach.
The whites were raided at night and
put to death with tomahawks, being
easy victims. After long suffering they
were sick and emaclated and could not
defend themselves. Many massacres
had occurred in the same place pre-
Yiously but the government has never
attempted to punish the murderers
Later news confirms the massacre

the commissary wagon had not yet ar

was not until nearly 2 o'clock that the
wagon carrying the provisions got to

four horses. bearing dlggers from the
Souter mines. on each side was ban

able assemblage. Flags seemed 10 be
In demand among the marchers, The
delegation marching on Plum Creek was
under the impression that they could
not march with band unless an
American flag was carried at the front,
A buttonhole flag, the dimensions OF
which were but few Inches, fastened
TO small stick, was carried at the head
of the procession when the marchers
reached the Center school house.
The force OF deputies was kept busy
during the entire night, Every move
was watched and trouble seemed 90 be
in the air. The condition can be said
to be critical Both sides feel that
there is a crisis near at hand. The OFF,
ofa1s OF the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company gave out the state
ment tonight that their forces were In
creased In the Turtle Creek and Sandy
Creek mines and that more men were
at work In the Plum Creek mine than
there has been since the campaign
against the company started.

would be impossible to get miners out,
but since the conference Of all the labor

every miner is member Of the United

matter OF course, at once ordered all men
out. Tomorrow there will probably not
be fifty miners at work and the majority
OF them have coal on hand which they
will load and then quit. The Plnnickin-
