LIES SAILING.

How swiftly DER lfes seas we sail.
Without a guiding star,
While knowing that our bark is frail
Leave native land 50 FAR.
We proudly rig the frailest bark,
When comes the wreck. they only mark,
The vain and vanished past
We cling to precious things on earth.
With selfishness and pride,
Unconscious OF the fading worth,
OF such a faulty guide.
We clothe our short existence here,
With perishable things
Compared with merit OF that sphere.
Where value only clingS.
So eager that we win tho prize,
We sail DER pillows mountain high
On dangers Surglng sea-
we follow fleeing shallow schemes
That we have built upon,
And trace the phantom light that beama.
Beyond the horizon
we brave the dangers OF the deep.
Through folly and contempt
And smile with Joy while Others weep.
Ii we may sail exempt.
our voyage may be free from harm.
But we should never boast.
AS ships oft meet the fatal storm.
When near their native coast.
Think not the silly self-made plan.
That you may call your guide,
WIN safely reach tie port OF man.
On oceans dark and wide.
We boast that we accomplish mucn,
And proudly show the mark,
Won BY adventures skllful touch.
In steering natures bark.
Forvetful that our lives are short.
How soon we may be gone,
We sail regardless Of port,
with pleasures reckless song
we speed the swiftly passing time.
with shallow mirlh put on.
And dwell but lightly . or the critnas
or turning right 10 wrong.
We lay aside iife's worthy aims.
And pass contentment by.
SO crowded with the vicious claims
That we forget 10 die.
We sail with banners flying gay
O'er dangers warning line,
That points us to the safest way,
In storms uneasy time
Yet we have faith In human strength
And judgment Of our own,
rntu our ship sails out at length,
70 sink In seas unknown

Ing to be arranged among the coal
operators of Ohio, including the Jack

tricts 1t is known that many at
tempts have been made by the opera
tors to form this combination, but IN
the past it has always been a failure.
At present there is a very good outlook
for success.
The plans for the new plate mill of
the Wheeling Iron and Steel Co. at their
Belmont plant are now being prepared,
and will soon be completed. The new
mill will be located at the upper end of
the forge building, next to the blast
furnace, the mill will be equipped with
three hngh roughing rolls, two bull
head rolls and three high finishing
rolls. Other greater improvements are
said to be contemplated by the COM
pany.
The potteries all over the country are
enjoying a good trade. In East Liver
pool, Trenton, N. j., and Syracuse, N.
Y, all the plants are working, and the
new Onondango pottery at Syracuse is
almost completed.
There is a good demand for managers
of the vorious departments in the pot
terry trade, from the plants that went
into operation in 1899. East Liverpool
has furnished the largest number and
of course this made many promitions
and new faces in many departments.

! IN the
WOrIdOf L abOr

The local industries have evidenced
no change during the past week and
the employees Of the mills and factoryS
that are closed have received no intl-
nation of when they will resume. To
a good many workers Christmas will
not be very bright. This applies
mostly to the tin workers, as few OF
the mills in this industry are work
ing, or are only working about half
time, and none of the mills are run
ming full.
One of the most notable improve
ments is the erection of the new coke
plant at the Riverside mill. in Ben
wood. The contractors expect to have
it completed in about a year from
now. The plant is being constructed
by the Semet-Solvoy Company, of Sy-
racuse, N. Y, and will be controlled
by this company for some time, until
the Riverside Iron Company are salts
fed that it is a success. This is the
contractors method of building these
plants, and have now under their con-
troll plants at Emsley, Ala, Detroit,
Mich, Syracuse, N. Y, Boston, Mass,
Halifax Nova Scotia, Dunbar and Shar-
on, Pa. Each plant employs about two
hundred men. Work on the new plant
at Benwood is progressing very rap
idly, and is being constructed in two
sections of thirty ovens each, and when
completed, the mill have in all one
hundred and thirty ovens and will give
employment to over two hundred men.
The old coke plant was built by the
same contractors, who are the largest
in the United States. The bi-product
of coke manufacturing to-day is very
important, being tar, gas and ammonia
and one section of the new storage
tanks is already placed in position for
these bi-products. One of the large
stacks is now being erected.
It is reported that tin mills Nos. s, 9
and 10 will go ON Monday at the La
Belle mill. The balance of the mills
are not expected to resume before the
first of the year. The other part OF the
mill is on in full, and the work Of
changing furnaces under the boilers
for the use of coal is about completed.
The Wheeling Iron and Steel Co., at
Benwood, are working in all depart
ments.

The success that has ATTENDED the oper-

thing unparalleled in the history of like
ventures. The plant is independent of the
trust. This week the officials announced
that their entire output for next season
had been sold and they have been compell-
ed to refuse a number of big orders. They
have four machines running full capacity
and they are turning out an average of
LIZ, 900 bolts per week Since starting they
have doubled the capacity of their plant
without increase of capitalization The
output is excellent as to grade and beaufi-
full as to design. The have achieved this
success without any slashing of prices.
Several firms who purchased sparingly be-

Must Surrender When They Re-en-
ter the American Lines.
NO MORE TEMPORIZING
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY IS DIS
GUSTED WITH THE ENJOYS.
Does Not Share the Optimistic Views
of Professor Schurman-BeHeves
the Insurgents Must Be Whipped
Into Submission and Will Trifle
With Them No Longer.

New York, May pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
When you desire to re-enter the
American military lines, come prepared
for an unconditional surrender. Other
wise you will not be admitted"
This, in substance, it is said at the
war department, is the parting message
Aguinaldo's so-called peace ENJOYS re-
ceived when they left Manila ON their
way to Aguinaldo's headquarters. If
our commissioners have not already re-
ceived instructions to adhere to this
decision they will receive them at once.
The foolhardiness of further negotia-
tions with irresponsible leaders of de-
fiant rebels is at last fully appreciated
by administration officials. The insur-
gents must be whipped into submission.
The president, it is said, is now of this
opinion. He regrets that he is unable
to share in the optimistic opinions of
Mr. Schurman, chairman of the COM
mittee, that Filipino ENJOYS will speed
lily come back to accept in full our own
terms. Mr.. Schurman expressed SINH
lar views Immediately after the first
peace conference, more than three
weeks ago, and thereby caused the
president to fall into the mistake of
expecting peace at once.
The fact that the authorities have
again brought up the question of send
ing additional troops to the Philippines
is a good indication that they consider
the recent peace negotiations failure.
The Twenty-fourth infantry, colored,
has been slated for service in the Phil
ippines, in addition to those previously
decided upon. Other regiments are also

Commodore Schley then raised the
pennant. "A glorious victory has been
won. Details later"
The answer from the New York was,

one man, G. II. Ellis, was killed. and

WOULD ENLIST MACABEES.
Macarthur Thinks They Would
Fight Well Against Tagals.

Manila, May 27.-General Macarthur
is in favor of the experiment of enlist
ing the Macabebes against their old
enemies. the Tagals.
A delegatio ion of the leading Macabebes
has visited the general. and its spokes-
man read an address assuring the
American commissioners of their
friendship and of their willingness to
transfer their allegiance from Spain TO
the United States. They complained
that the Tagals murdered them and
burned their villages, and they asked
to be protected and given arms to pro-
tect themselves. The Macabebes have
greatly assisted in posting the Amer
leans on the country and the positions
of the enemy. General Macarthur
would arm 100 of these men and make
them scouts, and if the experiment
proved successful he would enlist more
of them.
