STRIKE MAY OCCUR.
Possibility of a Walk-Out by $4,000
Tfn-Platc Workers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The Chronicle says:
George Powell, Of Elwood. Ind, president
Of the National Tin-plate Workers Union,
and John Brombold. Of Elwood City. Pa, a
emil Of the grievance committee, held a
conference with Third Vice President War
ner Arms, of the American Tin-plate Com
pany, last evening in the office of the latter
concern in this city, concerning certain
complaints made by the National Tin
plate Workers Union which. unless ad-
justed, are likely to involve $500 union
laborers in a strike. No satisfactory agree
ment was reached and the representative
unioniSts returned to their homes to report
TO the executive committee OF the union.
which Is expected to take some decisive
ing a future course.
According to President Powell, the differ
ence is so serious that a strike may be
called. He said there was no rooted misun-
union men, nor had there been a demand
for an increased wage as the present sched-
ule will be in effect until next July. The
complaint is due TO the employment of IN
to remove them vas made but President
Powell urged that wherever practicable
union men be favored in the employment of
new workmen. Three hundred mills at
thirty-six different points will be involved
should a strike of the employees OF the
American Tin-plate Company take place.
Concerning the demands In detail Mr.. Arms
declined to talk, but said: The visit of
specific grievance which the workmen have.
1t Is not unusual for us 10 have these con-
ferences, as We prefer to meet our men half
way and thus avoid any disagreements with
them. No ultimatum was presented to me
by President Powell concerning any griev-
ance his union has"

WHITE MEN IMPLICATED
NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE GAM
BRELL INCINERATING CASE.
Posse in Pursuit-Second Negro Run
Down and Lynched by the MOb-An
AIibi Saves a Third Captive.

CARTHAGE, Miss, Oct. 21.-For the
fendish murder of the five members of the
Gambrell family. at st. Anne. in this
CLeake) county, two men have paid the
death p~enalty-one by burning at the stake,
the other by hanging. Two negroes are I'M
der arrest beyond the confines of this coun-
ty and a posse is said to be in pursuit of
two white men. This last statement, how
ever, is contradicted from another point
and developments must be awaited. Last
night John Olive Gray, a negro, was cap
tured after being chased four miles in the
swamps. He finally confessed that he was
one of the party that did such murderous
work and the posse made short work of
him. He was hanged and his swaying body
was riddled with bullets. Gray, in his con-
fession, implicated two white men. and his,
along with lie Flores allegation as to the
same men, caused the posse to pause. 1t
was resolved to apprehend these men, and.
according TO report, they are being pursued,
having, so the statement goes, left the
neighborhood.
The information that three negro women
were brought to Carthage by the sheriff is
not true. The women were at first taken
into custody. but later were released by the
officers. The negro Robert Smith is now n
jail here. He was placed on a pile of fagots.
but afterward it was thought that he might
be innocent, and he was accordingly turned
over to the sheriff. A physician states that
he is dangerously burned. The story Of the
capture of the two negroes at Yazoo City
reached here tonight.
So far as Information now goes. five per-
sons were in the party that attacked the
Gambrell family. Anderson smith, who
was at first in the hands Of the mob and
who escaped, has proved a complete alibi,
and 1t was given him by reputable white
men. The entire county is aroused and
more lynchings are almost sure to follow.

Serious Point in Controversy Between
Two British Experts.

LONDON. Oct. 2.-Major Baden-Powell.
brother Of Colonel Baden-Powell, the Brit
ish commander at Mafeking, has caused a
revival of the discussion regarding flying
machines by drawing attention to the i'm
portance of the one now being constructed
in Germany by Count Won Zepplein. He de-
scribes it as resembling the slender skeleton
of a huge battleship made of aluminium,
containing a large number Of balloons. At
tached to this frame are cars of the same
metal. Its total lifting capacity is about
ten tons, enabling the vessel to carry stores
sufficient to remain in the air several days.
Seventy thousand pound have already been
spent in the construction, the plans having
been approved by the German government
Major Baden-Powell says 1t is hoped to
drive the vessel at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour.
This. according to a royal engineer and
flying machine expert. interviewed by the
Associated Press. kills the force of Major
Baden-Powelrs previous assertions; for the
British authorities assert that no flying ma
chine can hope to attain success unless a
speed of thirty miles is attained. Naviga-
ton. even a short distance from the earth,
ard under normal conditions, is held to be
Impossible unless the power developed is
equal 10 the currents, which circulate on
the average at a speed of thirty miles an
hour and often above that figure.

HANNA AND THE TRUSTS
THE SENATOR AGAIN DEFINES HIS
POSITION ON THE QUESTION.
Accepts GuntOn's Differentiation of
Trusts and Corporate Enterprises
Crusade Against Business.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. Ex-senator Han
ma to-day in an interview emphatically de-
MED the accusation that he is defending
trusts. In stating his position, he first called
attention to the following statement recent
ly made by Prof. Gunton, who is one of the
most prominent economists Of the country:
There is not a trust left in the United
States. There never were more than a half
dozen, and they all have been dissolved and
converted into large corporations. In reality,
then, the war on trusts is a war on corpora
tons, pure and simple. Certainly, before
the people of this country can be expected
to support such a crusade, they have a right
to know something about what 1t will &C
complish. Are all corporations TO be sup
pressed? If so, the proposition is very sim
pie. Of course this can be done If the peo-
pie want it, but it would stop every rail-
road, trolley, cable and horse-car system in
the country and close 80 per cent. of the
manufacturing and business concerns. In
fact. nearly all businesses, larger than the
peanut stand, would have to be dissolved
and redistributed into small efforts, about
the equivalent of what existed in the walled
towns in the thirteenth century. 1t would,
in fact, wipe out about all the economic
effectiveness the last five centuries of indus
trial evolution have produced. A war on
corporations, without some definite economic
basis of discrimination, then. is simply
a war on business success. That is the
character of the present movement. 1t is
based on no principle of industrial manage
ment or public policy. 1t recognizes no line
Of distinction between the good and bad.
but it is a blind. muddled. indiscriminate
agitation against corporate capital, which
means a crusade against business pros
perity.''
Professor Gunton's statement gives the
whole question in a nutshell" said Senator
Hanna. My idea of a trust is that it Is a
combination of capital organized for the
purpose OF controlling a commodity ne
cessity. That kind of an organization
would be inimical to the interests of-the
country. and the Republican party can DE
depended upon to protect the interests of
the people against such combines or
trusts Corporations are not trusts, and
without corporations 1t would be impossible
for this country to compete with the world.
and more SO now that the doors of the
Orient are open to our trade. l am not de-
Tending trusts. nor am / repudiating a sin
gle word or phrase in the Republican plat
form. / will continue TO tell the people of
the State exactly the meaning of trusts
and OF combines or corporations"
AT a largely-attended meeting In the
South Enc tonight Senator Hanna spoke
an hour. giving his attention almost entire
ly to the trust question. which he handled
as he did in his interview.

CANNOT VISIT ATLANTA
ADMIRAL DEWEY WILL NOT ACCOM-

His Physician Has Warned Him to
Avoid Public Receptions on Ac-
count of the Mental Strain.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Admiral Dewey,
on the advice of his physician. has cam
celed the dates for his vtsiss to Philadel-
phia and Atlanta and viii accept no more
invitations of this kind before next spring.
The following official statement vas made
at his office here to-dayc
Acting on the advice of his physician,
Admiral Dewey finds that it will be neces-
sary to cancel the engagements he has en-
tered into to visit certain cities and to de-
cline all invitations for the present. He
finds that the mental strain incidental to
such visits is affecting his health"
1t was said by one of Admiral Dewey's
friends hat this Is not 10 be taken as an
indication of any alarming change in the
admiral's health. but to a man of his tem-
permanent the excitement and mental strain
incident 10 the various public functions in
which he has been a participant have
proved too trying. He will remain as quiet
as possible for the winter, and it is hoped
by next spring he win be able to take a
short trip South and visit some of the places
whose inhabitants have been SO anxious to
welcome him. The invitations for his Phila-
delphia and Atlanta trips were cancelled by
telegraph to-day, and the situation was ex-
planned to the Charleston delegation, which
was anxious for him to include South Caro-
lima in his Southern journey. The admiral's
indisposition will have no effect upon Lieut..
Brumby'S visit TO Atlanta.
Representative Livingston, of Georgia, to-
night reluctantly gave up his efforts to
induce Admiral Dewey or Admiral Schiey
to go to Atlanta with Lieutenant i3rumby,
and telegraphed to the authorities there:
Dewey will not go; Schley cannot go;
BrCmby goes on Monday This was af-
ter he had received a number of kilograms
from Atlanta urging him to use every effort
and after personal conferences with both of
them. He learned. however, from Admiral
Schley that the latter would make a trip to
Birmingham, Ala, on Nov. /, and as this
would take him near Atlanta, he consented
TO visit the city at that time.
