the state Department to-day at Il con-
ference between Commissioner Kasson,

Tower. the British charge d'affaires.
The jamaican treaty is now being for
warded TO kingston. for the approval
of the colonial authorities, and when
this is given the formal signing of the
instrument Will occur.
The jamaican Tariff Commission left
this afternoon, going first to Ottawa to
confer with the Canadian authorities.
All parties concerned in the ncgOtia-
tons here have been placed under the
strictest reserve. and it is said that the
discussion of the details of the convcn-
ton just concluded, might prove preju-
dic!al to both countries. 1t is known
however, ;hat the convention conclud-
ed to-day is under section OF the
D!nGley tariff law providing for reel
procity treaties. ana is not a mere AR
rangement as provided for by section
. Of the act. The concessions given To
jamaica differ materially from those al
lowed The other British West Indian
colonies mainly because of the recent

risively that no Anal gamated Associa-

itated yesterday when committee OF
Is. representing the Homestead Lodge
of the Amalgamated Association, Went
to Supt. Cory to demand the reinstate-
ment OF the fifteen union men who had
been discharged at one time or an
other in the last three weeks. Mr.
Cory and President c. NJ. Schwab re-
ceived them in the company Office. and
not only discharged them, but informed
them that they could not so back into
the mill 10 get their dinner buckets
This action of the company incensed
the Amalgamated people, and they i'm
mediately took steps 10 get their mem
bers and sympathizers out of the mill.
The result of this movement is some
what in doubt. The men claim TO have
been successful in having at least 800
skilled steel workers quit work. thereby
seriously Gripping the mill.

pretty and talented as a girl, her
youthful bent being toward declama-
ton and mimicry. She early took part
in amateur theatricals, and determin u
to cultivate her talents. She became a
pupil at a Boston school of oratory.
The young southern girls instructor
was Professor Trip, now a law lee
turer in the Boston university Mr..
Trip taught his pupil not only ora

was that teacher and pupil were mar
ried Mrs. Trip had developed into a
reader and musician of the highest
class, and she was sought after more
