Cross Purposes, to Some Extent.
A great deal of misunderstanding
seems TO exist among the RlVerslde
rube workers concerning their purposes,
and many conflicting reports are IN cir
culation. Tuesday night some parties
claiming TO be tube workers. sent tele-
phone messages TO both of the morning
papers. asking them to give notice or d
meeting 10 be held on Thursday AFTER
noon at Benwood for the purpose OF try
ing TO bring about a settlement OF the
strike by making a compromise Win

were posted also in Bellaire. Benwood
and South Wheeling. The parties call
ing the meeting stated that the previous
meetings had been ruled by younger
members and boys who had outvoted
their elders
Ii is evident that a spirit OF unanimlty
does not prevail among the tube work
ers. for the chairman of the advisory
committee stated yesterday afternoon
that no person had any authority 10
call a meeting except the advisory
board. and that the members OF IL had
not called any meeting for to-day. he
stated that a meeting was called TO De
held at Mozart hall on Friday evening
and that the statements published 10

ceDr the reduction and going TO work
we're not to be credited, as they intend
ed 10 hold out until their demands Tor
their old wages are granted. They wouiu
90 10 work upon this condition and no
other. ard that none of the other de-
partments of the mill would be run
without the tube workers being employ
ed
II is likely that some of the tube
workers will hold a meeting this after
noon at Benwood as announced. but 1t
looks as if there may be some differences

themselves.

Frankfort, KY. April 14.-This has
been an exciting day in the legislature
which adjourned at p. m. with the
fight still pending for tomorrow Seven
ballots were taken to-day for United
States Senator. making forty-two bal
lots that have been taken at the present
extra session. The vote in some Of the
ballots was changed by temporary
pairs. but none OF the changes Of the
day were material. Dr. Hunter, the
Republican nominee. held CT votes and
the field held GO. The field had just the
required number for election, but the
Blackburn men, the gold Democrats
and the boiling Republicans could not
unite on anybody Ex-Secretary Car
Isle arrived at his home in Covington
to-day. and his presence in the State
caused some comment on his name as a

The Russian Government Asks the Carne-

Pittsburg, Pa, April IA dispatch
to-day from Washington announced
that the Carnegie Company, Of this city,
had been invited by the Russian gov
eminent to bid on armcr plate for two
frst-class batIleships. The Carnegie
officials will not talk on the subject,
neither confirming nor denying the re-
port 1t is believed, however. that the
Russian government was well pleased
with the two thousand tons furnished
by the Carnegie Company some time
ago and have asked for more, and the
company will likely land the contract.
If the contract comes here it will mean
the continuance of the armor plant,
which was expected TO close down June
LIST, as the contracts on hand for the
Kearsarge and Kentucky will be COM
pleted by that time. The Russian con-
tract will be for between 100000 and
