A committee of the steel workers en-
ployed at the Wheeling iron and steel
works, as instructed at meeting of the
men held Saturday night, held a con-
ference with President c. Russell Hub
bard yesterday afternoon at o'clock
at the Office of the works for the pur-
pose of settling the difference in the
wage scale demanded by the steel en-
ployes and the wage scale offered to the
men by the company. and in response
to a call issued by the committee i'm
mediately after the conference, the men
assembled in full force at the Benwood
City Hall last evening at 1880 o'clock
to the hear the report of the conference.
After the close Of the meeting Reg
lister reporter interviewed a number OF
the steel workers, but all were reluc-
tant to discuss the steps that had been
taken in the matter. According to the
best information obtainable,- President
Hubbard at the conference offered
split in the difference between the two
scales. The mems scale calls for
an increase of about 20 per cent. on
an average and the company's first
scale offered an advance of about
II per cent. on an average. The
men refused to say whether they had
accepted or rejected the offer Of split
in the difference. Nevertheless, the
committee was instructed to again con-
fer with President Hubbard this morn
ing at 8 o'clock for the purpose of adj
justing the difference in the scales.
AS has been mentioned previously,
the scale demanded by the men calls
for a reservation of wages from the
last reduction in 1897, and the scale
offered at first by the company con-
coded the '97 scale to about two-thirds
of the employees. By the difference be-
tween the scales which yesterday was
split, the tonnage mems wages were
effected slightly and the day mems
wages heavily. In 1897, according to
the records, some of the jobs were cut
SO per cent. One job which in 81 was
cut from S1.70 per 100 tons to SLAP per
100 tons, has been raised to $1.65 per
100 tons, according to the offer.
1t is probable that at the con-
ference to be held this morn
ing the matter will be settled on
the difference between IL per cent. and
20 per cent. on an average, and in
manner that will prove satisfactory to
both sides.

The many Wheeling admirers of the
eminent tragedian, Robert Downing,
regret that his engagement in this city
is for but one performance, but under
the circumstances the Opera House will
probably be crowded tonight. In
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, st. Louis, San Francisco, Wash

Robert Downing, the popular actor, ap-
peared in his classic gems, "The Glad

the houses were crowded nightly and
hundreds turned away. His success in
this new departure has been simply
phenomenal. He will appear at the
Opera House Monday night.

Mr.. HULEN:-Dear Sir, / promised /
would write you when got here and
have not forgotten it, as l am re-
minded of you about every day as /
pass the little acres you so faith
fully improved on our way to town.
Well, we are all as well here a. can
be, in fact, much more than we were
before coming. We all seem TO like
it, but it is not like living at home.
If one wanted a change they can get
it by coming here; fellow who don I
Ike Missouri weather and wants
about the reverse can get it here. It
don't rain here, nothing grows that
you don't water. The sun shines
very hot every day, bat there is a
good breeze blowing, and the nights
are cool. 1 call it pretty good
weather. The fruit crop is good this
year and prices are good. Hemet is
a nice looking little city, but don't
grow. The track looks fine and is
the only green spot between here
and Riverside, but nothing selling
even in this green place. Maybe it
will take turn upward some day.
The apricots were large and fine, the
