settlement This Year.

The Employers Are Urging a Speedy
settlement This Year.
Pittsburg, May 11.-Contrary to the
usual routine of wage settlements in
the iron, steel and tinplate industries,
conferences on the new lists will be
held this year in Detroit Immediately
following the adjournment of the ma
tional convention of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
plate Workers which will be about
May 30. The manufacturers desire an
early conference and prompt settle
ment this year. They want to abolish
the usual summer suspension, which is
inaugurated on June !, the time the
Amalgamated scales expire, and con-
tinues until the new rates are agreed
upon and the lists signed, which usu-
ally means a full month or six weeks.
Under the stress of market demand
this year the manufacturers are un-
able to keep their mills closed for
such a period. They are already far
behind in their orders, and a close
down lasting from four to six weeks
in the summer season would mean the
loss of trade from which they could
not recover during the balance OF tho
year. If a prompt settlement of the
wage scales is made at Detroit 1t will
be the first time in many years that
the organized mill workers have been
steadily employed during the summer
months.

THE PRESIDENT IMPROVING.


Greatly BENEFITED by the Baths at Hot
Springs. Va.
Hot Springs, Va, May 1.-THE re-
assuring news forwarded from Apia by
Admiral Kautz was a source of relief
to the president. The extent to which
he is being allowed freedom from Of
fetal cares is evidenced by the fact that
not even this welcome information
was forwarded to him, his knowledge
of the fact being given through the
press representatives here. The presi-
dent expressed his pleasure over the
renewed assurances that the Samoan
situation is so peaceful. With the
tripartite commission now at the isl
ands further bloodshed is not antici-
pated.
Whether it is the effect of his abb
solute relaxation from duties, the dry
atmosphere, or is the result of his
medicinal bath yesterday morning,
this treatment having been begun yes
terday, or of them all, the president is
recuperating rapidly. A gentleman who
has known him for many years after
seeing him yesterday said he never
knew the president to appear to be
in better health.
Friends of the executive are much
annoyed by stories that Mr.. Kinley is
smoking excessively and injuriously
Friends in our new island possessions
have sent him quantities of cigars OF
various brands, but they have remain
ed untouched An after meal cigar
is a source of thorough enjoyment to
the president, but he does not indulge
himself to an extent that is harmful
A number of commissions were sign
ed by the president yesterday, most oi
them being army promotions.

Philadelphia, May 1.-THE move
ment that has been inaugurated to in
vite Admiral Dewey to become tho
city's guest and accord him a reception
upon his return to this country has
become deep rooted, and will no doubt
assume definite shape in the course of
a few days. 1t is expected that at the
special sessions Of both branches of
city councils this afternoon a number
of resolutions will be offered relative
to taking the preliminary steps for the
contemplated demonstration to the ad
miral.
"There is not the least doubt" said
Mayor Ashbridge, "but what Admiral
Dewey will visit Philadelphia during
the time that the Grand Army Ma
tional encampment is in progress, and
while the exposition Is open, and the
demonstration accorded him should far
surpass anything of the kind ever
given in this country. My idea. as
soon as councils take action in the
matter, is to call a meeting of citi-
zens and formulate plans for the ap-
pointment of subcommittee, and this
will be done"
