MAKE LIQUID AIR AT Low COST.
Plant Established in New York and in Prac-
ticaI Operation.

NEW YORK, July 1.-For the first time
in this country a plant has been estab-
lished and practically operated for the pro-
duction of liquid air. This plant has been
devised and constructed under the direc
ton of Oscar P. Ostergren and Moriz Bur-
ger and is located at sol West Thirty-third
street. 1t is capable, with 190-horse power,
developed by steam, of manufacturing
about 1880 gallons of liquefied air in TWEEN.
ty four hours or about gallon minute.
It's practical success is demonstrated by
the two facts that it can produce liquefied
air, comparing equal expenditure of pow
er three times as rapidly as the best appa-
ratus devised by Professor Linde of Mu-
mich, and al a cost of about one-third. Mr..
Ostergren and Mr.. Burger have been
working at their process for about three
years, and have now perfected it, in so far
as the device itself IS concerned, although
they expect to improve the machinery so
as to reduce further the cost of manufac-
turing the liquefied air from to cents
gallon. as at present. to about cents
gallon.

WASHINGTON, July President
Mckinley to-day presented to the
French ambassador, M. Cambon, a su-
perb silver loving cup, in recognition
of the ambassadors friendly services in
the negotiations which restored peace
between the United States and Spain
The beautiful testimonial was sent by
Secretary Hay to the French embassy,
accompanied by note from the Sec
rotary in which, speaking for the Pres
ident, he expressed sincere appreciation
for NJ Cambon's considerable and disin-
terested services and rendered the low
ing cup as an evidence of the esteem
tit for him.
The cup is of massive proportions
and chaste design and the information
al significance of the gift is shown in
the blending of the French and Amer
lean coats of arms. 1t stands about
two and one-half feet high, with the
top of the bowl about ten inches across.
The outer surface is silver, richly en-
bossed, while the inside is of hammer
ed gold. Around the ouside of the bowl
in raised old English text runs the
following inscription:
Presented by the President of the
United States to His Excellency, NJ.
Jules Cambon, Ambassador of France,
in token of his friendly services in the
negotiations of the protocol of peace
between the United States and Spain
August II, 1898"
The bowl is supported on the Shout
ders of three American eagles. These
in turn are on massive silver pedestal
around which circle the thirteen stars
emblematic of the thirteen original
States. The three handles of the cup
are of myrtle leaves, symbolic of the
peaceful Offices with M. Cambon per-
formed. On the three faces of the cup
where the handles join the bowl, appear
the coat of arms of France with the
letters R. F-Republique Franchise.
The box in which the loving cup is
enclosed is another triumph of the
jewelers. art. 1t is of light birdseye
maple highly polished with brass
trimmings bearing the monogram of the
ambassador. The interior of the box
is lined with crimson velvet and the
WuOIc III u ooSh vi NV
velvet Altogether, the Presidents
gift is one of uncommon richness and
artistic beauty.
When the gift and letter were re-
ceived at the French embassy, M. Cam
bon was absent, not having returned
from his New England trip.
Under the circumstances the letter
remained sealed and the box unopened
until the ambassadors return, which
is expected shortly. After receiving
his recent degree of LII. d. from Har-
ward, he went to Manchester blythe
Sea for a few days. The Presidents
gift will be an entire surprise to him,
and will be gratifying alike for its
personal as we'll as it's national signifi-
canoe The Queen Regent of Spain has
already decorated NJ Cambon for his
services in the peace negotiations.

night, is to perform vigorous mission
airy work during tomorrow in the en-
deavor to secure new members to
strengthen any of their number who
may be inclined to weaken and to
bring about endorsement by the public
OF their cause.
All unite in saying that Tomorrow
night when the men return to work
after the Sundays rest will demon
strate to certainty whether the strike
will be failure or not
The company has not made any at
tempt to conceal the reason for the re-
cent dismissals. 1t was solely for the
reason that the men went into labor
organization when they had been for
hidden. The question of wages does not
enter into the controversy, the men be-
ing as well paid and in many instances
better than those of the mills recogniz-
ing the unions and paying what is
known as the scale rate The Anal
gamated Association has been working
with the Carnegie employees for some
time 1t was intended to make the
matter of the formation of the organi-
cation public several weeks ago and
declare an open fight. A secret ballot
was taken, and it was decided to keep
the secret, awaiting developments. The
officials of the company, by some means
came to know that some of their en-
ployes were members of the union. Dis
charges Immediately followed, with the
plain statement by the officials that
they did not want union men in their
employ.
One by one men were discharged as
their utilization with the organization
became known.
That there has been much quiet work
done among the men during the last
five years is known among the OIL
Gals of the organization. Five years
ago open meetings were held at Home
stead for the purpose of gaining foot
hold. The meetings were well attend
ed, but the men were afraid to show
their colors. Many of them were dis
charged for their attendance at these
gatherings. The open plan was then
abandoned and the secret work began.

TOWN Is RUINED BY A TRUST.
Closing Down of Starch Plant q Blow to
Edinburg Ind.

EDINBURG, IND, July What trusts
will do can be seen by comparing the once
prosperous Edinburg with the now strick-
en- town In 1891 the National Ctarch Man
ufacturing Company was formed and be-
gan to gobble up plants in Indiana, Ohio
and other States. The factory in Edin-
burg was taken in at $4,000, when it was
really worth but $125, 900. 1t was promptly
closed down, throwing seventy-fve men
out of employment and depriving the mer-
chants of a pay roll of $500 week
Families moved away, the price of starch
went up 20 per cent. while corn decreased
rs per cent, and real estate deprecated.
Farmers took their corn elsewhere and
likewise spent their money in other towns
where a better market price could be had.
The factory buildings, which were COM
paratievly new, are rotting down.
Madison, Columbus and Franklin are
other places that have been affected by
this one trust, although they have not
been so badly hurt as the little town of
Edinburg.

A GENERAL STRIKE
Expected at the Chicago Stockyards on
Monday-A Mass Meeting to be Held To-

CHICAGO, July 1.-Leaders Of the dis
affected element in the stock yards ex-
press themselves to-day as confident that
there will be a general strike throughout
the yards on Monday. They admit, how
ever, that nothing will be settled until af-
ter the close of the mass meeting which
is to be held tomorrow That the situa-
ton is serious, the packers fully realize.
and instructions have been issued to SUI
bordinates to give out no information re-
garding the workings of the plants.
1t was said to-day the packers were
consulting with representatives of the
meat packing interests in Omaha, Kansas
City and st. Louis regarding the ability of
their plants to handle the packing traffic
if the general strike went into effect Mon
day.
No one could be found who knew any
thing about the conference which is said
to have taken place in the office of Ar
mour & Company, at the stock yards Of
ficials of the company said they knew
nothing about the conference and if it
had taken place, 1t was not in their offices.
s. S. Conway, superintendent of Armour
& Company said the packing companies
were not expecting a general tie-up, as
lNey Qlu not DeleNe the men were QlSSdt-
isfied. 1--WE have restored the wage scale
of 93, and the only ones who are crying
for more are the highest paid workmen in
our plant, who were not reduced in SO,
and consequently did not get an advance
in wages this time. It is safe to say 95
per cent. of the men now employed in the
stock yards were raised two weeks ago
and are now drawing as much money as
was ever paid in the stock yards. I do
not believe there will be a general strike
Monday, as l am positive that the dis
contented ones, who number about per
cent, cannot induce the others to go out
on a strike which would avail them moth
ing"
Fifty men walked out of Swift & Com
panys plant this morning and expre5Aed
the determination not to return 10 work
until they received an increase. The men
were employed in the killing department.
Ten platform men also quit work and
their places had to be filed with foremen
until other men could be hired.

VILLAGERS BADLY vICTIMiZED.
Troy Grove, ILL.,, Gives $4,000 Bonus for
Mythical Factory.

SPRING VALLEY, ILL.,, July l.
Troy Grove, small village a few
miles northwest, has been worked by
alleged sharpers, who claimed to rep
resent glass manufacturing interests
in western Indiana. They succeeded
in getting a bonus subscription OF So
600 and proposed to remove the glass
plant to that city and bring in 200
glass blowers and their families. 1t
was alleged that the removal was found
necessary on account of the supply of
natural gas giving out in that section.
There was great jubliation and en-
thusiasm in the village over the pros
peet of doubling the population in less
than a year by the establishment of
glass plant, but these hopes have now
gone glimmering, as it recently dawned
on the subscribers that the whole pro-
ject was mere fake.
