THE BUFFALO STRIKE.
n Solution of tho Difficulty as rar Off
us Eycr-Thc Action of' tho Sfril,crs

n Solution of tho Difficulty as far or
us Ever The Action OF the Strikers.
BUFFALO, N.Y., May 19.-The grain
shovelers' tonight adopted resolutions
repudiating all agreements made with
the Lake Carriers Association and de-
manding the unequivocal abrogatlon Of
the contract with Mr.. Conners.
The striking freight handlers at their
meeting voted 10 ignore the advice OF
Bishop Qulglcy. in which he urged them
to return to work under the terms
granted by the associated lake lines at
the conference this afternoon.
The action taken at these two meet
ings tonight, II Is thought, will end for
some time to come the negotiations
which have been In progress for over
two weeks to bring about q settlement
Of the dock troubles.
The grain shovelers will refuse to
make any further propositions to either
the lake carriers or to the contractors,
and as the lake carriers some days ago
decided to withdraw from the conflict
the indications are that the strike will
be permitted to wear Itself out.
The final conference between Contrac-
tor Conners and the men was held this
afternoon. The men announced before
they took part in 1t that IL 1t did not
result In some agreement they would
break OF negotiations. AT this confer
encc the strikers proposed that there
be inserted in the agreement already
reached with the Lake Carriers Asso-
clatlon n clause governing the appolnt-
ment Of boss scoopcrs. This clause
provided that the grain'shove!ers should
submit the names OF ten men for each
elevator shaft, out of which list the
contractor should select his boss scoop
ers Mr.. Conners refused to agreed to
the proposition, and the men left the
conference.
At Q o'clock tonight President Mahon
reported to meeting OF grain shovelers
the result of the conference A Wild
scene cnsued. The men poured out their
wrath upon the president and the COM
mittee for having attempted to make
such terms: declared that they would
have refused them even II the contrac-
tor, the committee. and even Bishop
Quigley had endorsed them.
A resolution was adopted to the cf-
feet that the executive committee rep
resentinG the strikers should establish
nm Office. and walt there for the Lake
Carriers Association to come to them
ara agree 10 break the contract with
Mr.. Conners.
Another resolution was adopted pro-
h!blting the officers or the executive
committee from negotiating further
with Mr.. ConRers or making any ad-
vances to the Lake Carriers Associa-
ton.
This afternoon. Bishop Quigley re-
opened St. Bridgc1's hall for the use Of
the men. The grain shovelers, however.
refused to occupy It. and established
headquarters elsewhere.
The International Seamen's Union Is
to take part In the struggle. It Is
claimed that the crews on the vessels
are assisting in the work of unloading
grain here 4 committee OF members
of the union Is to begin work immed-
ateiy for the purpose Of inducing the
crews of lake vessels to leave their
ships.

The Rel

The Report That the President nutI
Secretary Of War had Counter
mnndcd Brookc's Order Untrue.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May l9.-"It Is
the sheerest nonsense" said Secretary
Aiger to-dny. in commenting upon the
published story that the President or
himself had coun,ermandcd any order
made by General Brooke relative 10 the
disarmament OF the Cubans troops.
The state OF the case, In brief, Is as
follows:
The President canvassed very thor
oughly with Secretary Alger and Gem
eral Brooke the best method of securing
the disbandment OF the Cuban troops
and their rc-entry into industrial life.
1t was decided that necessary step to-
wards this end was the surrender OF the
arms held by the Cuban soldiers. It
was npprchcndcd that, retaining their
arms some. If not II large proportion, In
cllned by their past predatory existence,
would lapse into Drlgandngc,
So the President himself ordered GEN
eral Brooke to cause the arms of the Gu.
ban soldiers to be delivered up to rep.
rcscntatives OF the United Stntcs army.
With these instructions. General Brooke
has been patiently striving to carry out
the Presidents plnn. He has arrived at
that point where the Cuban leaders, as
a matter OF sentiment they say make 1t
condition OF disarmament that the
arms ahall be placed In the custody Of
tho mayors of the Cuban towns. Renll2-

NEW YORK, May 19.-R. G. Dun &.

morrow: While buying 100000 tons Bes-
semer pig at Pittsburgh gave reason for
the advance In price 10 SIG so. with grey
forge quoted at SIC per ton, 1t Is not
quite as clear as it might be that the
output which was 2j5.0OO tons weekly
according to the Pittsburgh record, and
has since been largely increased by the
addition OF many furnaces, will continue
to fall below the demand. For the re-
quirements' In various departments for
manufactured products, 1t must be rec
ognized, is scarcely measurable, and
does not seem as much diminished as
might be expected by higher prices and
long delay in delivery. In plates, for in

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-08-12

The most effective speech made at the
meeting of the State Agricultural Society
at Quitman was that of Mrs. w. II. Eel
ton. She spoke in favor of pettionng the
legislature to put heavy tax on dogs.
Her remarks were forceful and eloquent,
From the beginning to the end of them she
was heartily cheered showing that at last
the farmers have come to the conclusion
that II Is better to raise and feed sheep
than it is to harbor and feed worthless
dogs. II is evident from experience that
the sheep industry cannot flourish as long
as worthless ours have possession of the
land from the mountains to the seaboard.
The Agricultural Society committed il
self TO the policy advocated by Mrs. Eel
ton and appointed a committee to urge
the legislature to provide for a tax on
dogs. If the legislature takes the same
view of the matter as the Agricultural So
city. 1t will not be long before there will
be a noticeable decline in the number of
dogs in the state and an Increase in the
number of sheep.
We don't hesitate to say that if twenty
years ago there had been legislation like
that proposed by Mrs FELTON,, and the law
had been enforced, there would be a hun
bred sheep in the state to-day where there
is one now. 1t is not too late, however, to
change for the better. There isn't any
good reason why Georgia shouldn't pro-
duce enough wool to supply the demands
of a half a dozen or more big wooden mills
and enough mutton TO meet the wants of
half of the Southern states.
There were some excellent papers read
and addresses delivered at Quitman,
all of which doubtless will have a beneh-
cial effect, some of course more than 9TH
ers, but from our point of view the address
of Mrs. FELTON, promises more practical
good than any other. The further we can
get the people away from the yellow dog
the nearer they win be to material pros
peritV.
