The Bteelworkers employed at the
Riverside were given a substantial In
crease Of wages, said to average not
less than 10 per cent. yesterday at
conference held between the manage
ment md committee Of the men. The
new scale OF wages will date from to-
morrow The settlement was AMIGA
bly, brought about after conference
lasting a little over an hour.
The tonnage men formed the inter-
ested party. They gave the usual thir-
" days notice OF desiring change in
the scale, and this time limit expires
tonight. The men asked for an In
crease Of Is per cent, which is said to
be the amount ordered granted by the
National Tube Company, the combine
Of which the Riverside is a part. ow-
ing to the reticence Of those at the con-
ference the details of the settlement
were not made public, and there were
varying reports, some being to the eff
feet that the increase asked for was
granted on certain Jobs. The men APP
peared satisfied, however. with the adj
vance given.
The tonnage men at the Benwood
mill Of the Wheeling Steel & Iron Com
pany, are also after a 10 per cent wage
advance and have already notified the
management to that end. Under the
time limit of the notices the thirty days
will expire about the middle of next
month. The men desire the organiSa-
ton of a lodge of the Amalgamated
Association and the several meetings
held promise contamination of this eff
fort within a few days One Of the OBJ
3ects is to get an Amalgamated scale in
force and to bring about a uniformity
Of action. The request for more wages
based, however, on the present price
OF steel and directly has nothing to do
with the organization OF the men.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 24-The Uni
ted States transport Morgan City,
which has been converted into hospit-
al ship arrived to-day from Manila,
having on board 47S sick and GONZALES
cent soldiers.
The vessel started with 47s. but three

Tenth Pennsylvania; Private Lewis
Cook, Twenty-second regiment, and
First Lieutenant Jackson. First South
Dakota. These succumbed to dysen-
terry, the disease with which most OF
the others were afflicted. All Of those
on board were Ill when the steamer left
Manila, but the removal from tropic-
al climate and the sea air so benefited
the invalids that on arrival here only
twenty-five were unable to leave their
berths.
Every command and almost every
regiment Is represented among the re-
turning soldiers. After thorough in
spection OF the ship the transfer Of the
men to the military hospital at the

Mholcsnle KiIIIng OF Negroes.

BAINBRIDGE, Ca. July 24.-Deca-
tur and Early counties are stIll greatly
excited over the recent lynchings OF ne.
groes. One negro has been lynched by
hanging. after his body had been multi
lated, two have been found dead and
their scalps are reported to be on ex-
hibItlon at Stafford. while the bodies OF
two others were found lying near rail-
road track, in the disturbed district.
The cause OF their death is in doubt.
Crowds are still hunting for five other
negroes who were implicated by Louis
Summons, one of the men lynched, in
the assault on the ogletree family. The
trouble is believed to have been caused
by a gang of negroes who escaped from
jail last June at Augusta, and have ter
rorized this part OF the state for several
weeks. It Is not likely quiet will be
restored until the other five negroes are
disposed of. II they are still in this part
of the country.

ofsharpers to Deceive the credulous
and Uneducated.
WASHINGTON, Juiyp 24.-A largely
operated advertising plan is excluded
from the mails by decision rendered
by Acting Assistant Attorney General
Barrett for the postofflce department.
The plan consists of puzzles with
prize offers whose solution is easy by
counting dots in n circle. spokes in a
wheel, or arranging set Of tumbled
letters to form names Of prominent
persons, but the catch is In a proviso
Imposing conditions on successful con-
testants. The heavy malls following
these advertisements bring out circu'
lars from the promoters which the de-
partment holds is designed to lead pa
irons to believe that they have Won
valuable prizes, conditioned on their
making or obtaining subscriptions, SELL
ing articles. etc.
The department in directing the post
master at Boston In test case. to re-
fuse to accept for mailing circulars re-
latIng to such schemes, holds that they
deceive the credulous and uneducated.

RECIPRooTTY TREATY
Between the United States and France
Is Finally Signed.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The long
pending reciprocity treaty negotiations
between the United States and France
we're brought to a successful close late
this afternoon at the state department,
when Ambassador Cambon, on behalf
of France, and Commissioner Kasson,
in behalf of the United States, affixed
their signatures to the reciprocity
treaty. 1t is by far the most important
treaty concluded under the reciprocity
provisions OF the Dingley law and the
only one affecting trade with a large
commercial nation.
The negotiations were marked by
rather sharp and long continued dis
cussIons which continued up to the
time signatures were placed on the doc
ument. In the end spirit Of compro-
mise prevailed and each side yielded
something. AS a whole, both sides eX-
press satisfaction with the general re-
suits secured. for while the compromise
necessltated some minor sacrifices, the
general effect OF the treaty will encour-
age commerce between the two coun-
trlse.
