The most effective expedition was

Streeter. With the permission of the

the assistance of military force, he
formed one of the three explorers in a
romantic expedition into the interior
of Burma. The country was developed
by these men at great personal discom.

sistance was made by the hill tribes,
and some people in this country
doubted the motives of the explorers.

The Paris. which ran on the rocks off
the Manacles, May q, is doomed. A
southeast wind is blowing, bringing in
heavy seas, which are driving the
steamer astern landmarks. Her boilers

The agents refused to pay the men S
fares home, which the sailors strongly
resented, as they had stood by the ship
until nearly the end.
There are now thirty feet of water
in the holds of the Paris. The quar-
termaster, who was on deck when the
steamer struck, says he saw warning
flare from a pilot boat, but that it was
not interpreted as sign that the Paris
was in dangerous position. The
ships helm was nearly starboarded in
order to clear the pilot boat and the
course W. n. W.. was Immediately re-
sumed. He adds that but for this al
iteration the steamer would have sunk
alongside the Mohegan.

DETROIT. Mich. June 10.--The final
conference between the representatives
of iron and steel manufacturers and the
iron and steel wage committee OF the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers, was completed at
o'clock this evening.
The net result is that the wage scales
for iron and steel workers as fixed by
the recent convention of the Amalga-
mated Association, are practically all
accepted by the manufacturers. This
means a general raise of % per cent.
for some $4,000 men employed in the
iron and steel industries.
A summary of the increases in the
scale follows;
Boiling rate fixed at S. per ton on
4-10 card. Muck or puddle mill
men who previously received Is rate.
now get Ii. the base price of boiling,
serapping and busheling men get 25'
per cent advance on l 410 card.
Busheling on sand bottom receive an
advance of % per cent on a lilo card.
The following branches are raised in
the same proportion OF % per cent:
Knobbling, heating slabs and shing-
ling; bar and 12-ineh mills and milleJ
making a speciality of working pipe on
skelp from iron and steel; plate and
tank mills, also guide. ten-inch hoor(
and cotton tie mills.
The advances are the largest made in
the history of the Amalgamated Assoc
citation, and the wages for the year
will be the highest since 1892, al
though they will.not reach the figures
paid previous to '92.
The Amalgamated Associations tint
p,ats committee will meet representa-
lives OF the American Tin Plate com1
pany in Pitt xg next Wednesday.
