the strikers was that the company
shall retain as open mills all those
which 1t has succeeded in starting and
operating since the strike was declar-
ed. All mills which the strikers have
kept closed Mr.. Schwab agrees shall
remain union mills"
The steel officials are in a very con-
fident mood tonight and appear to
think the strike is broken effectually,
and that only few days more will be
required to make it thing of the past.
The return of 400 tube workers at
McKeesport and the report that $50 or
more went in at the Pennsylvania tube
works and the protection of Sheriff
Mckinley and his deputies at
Demmler, where a start will be made
to- morrow morning, give much weight
to this belief. In addition to these
breaks the steel officials claim in
creased number at the Star, the Lind
say & McCutcheon, the Painters and
the Clark mills, and say other plants
will now be put into service rapidly.

MEN ARE STILL AT LARGE.
They Secured S3J,O0O, But Blood
hounds Can't Catch Them

Texarkana, Ark, Sept. 4.-The six
men who held up the Cotton Belt
passenger train last night are still at
large. The robbers evidently rode
their horses up Akin creek and left
them standing in the stream. They
used a handcar and went five miles
north, as the handcar was found near
where the train was first stopped
After looting the mail and express cars
the robbers returned to the creek
mounted their horses and again rode
down the stream, thus obliterating
their trail
The robbers secured a package of
$4,000, and it is said the entire haul
was about $50, 900.
At noon to-day the pursuing officers
returned to Texarkana and reported
that they could not find a clew.
At l o'clock a special train went to
the scene of the hold-up, with Col. q.
K. Wheeler, chief of the Cotton Belt
detectives, Sheriff Edwards, United
States Marshal Grant. and a large
posse of deputies, who had with them
a pack of bloodhounds.
At A o'clock another posse. headed
by Constable Rochelle, left for Eylau
to try for a trail. Texas sheriffs are
rushing here from every direction,
bringing deputies with them.
Tonight the railroads posse return
ed here having called the bloodhounds
from the track. II has been discovered
that the robbers secured one bag Of
gold which took the combined efforts
of two men to carry from the express
car to the engine. The through safe
was dynamited. 1t is claimed enough
was learned to place the guilt on par
ties believed to be Texarkana men, or
at least one man, the remainder being
boys. The arrest of the leader is
looked for hourly. The amount of
booty, it is now said, will reach nearly
$50 900.
The Cotton Belt has offered a re-
ward of 81 800 for the robbers. and the
express company 10 per cent. of all
money recovered. All of the posses
have been recalled to Texarkana, and
the search is now confined strictly to
Texarkana.

COLUMBIA THE WINNER.
Poor Handling of Consultation Lost
Her the Race.


Newport, r. l., Sept. 4.-The Con-
stitution sailed capital race to-day
against the Columbia. over a course
fifteen miles to windward and back In
a breeze whose force averaged about
eight knots, its greatest power being
twelve knots near the finish line.
The Columbia won by seventeen sec
onds, corrected time, the Constitution
beating her rival, boat for boat over
the course on elapsed time fifty-four
seconds. This does not include the
handicap of twenty-one seconds, or
more with which the Constitution
started. Had she not been handicap
ped, she would have won. On the
windward work she gained on the Co
lumbia 80 seconds. and also % sec
onds on the run home before the
wind. In heavy puffs, when close
to the finish line, her balloon jib top
sail split in two and caused big tam
gle aloft. The Columbia was compelled
to haul down her ballooner at the same
time, for the squall carried away the
crlngle at the head of the sail.
To smart handling and excellent
judgment Columbias victory to-day
was due. There is no question that the
old mainsail and the altered headsails
of the Constitution. which she carried
to-day had much to do with the inn
proved showing she made. The handi-
cap at the start seemed to be due to a
lack of smartness aboard the Constf
tuition, and also to the more able sea
jockeying of those in charge of the
Columbia.
There will be no race for the yachts
tomorrow and while the challenge
mi "a n hfu IN -
no announcement of future races was
made. 1t is generally expected, how
ever, that other contests will be held
here later in the week.

FOR KING AND PRESIDNET.
Roth Are Prayed for at Ecumenical
Congress.

London. Sept. 4.-The Ecumenical
Methodist Conference opened in Wes-
leys Chapel to-day with good at
tendance. In the devotional exercises
King Edward and President Mckinley
We're prayed for. Bishop Joseph c.
Hartzell, missionary bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in Africa,
made the opening prayer and Bishop
Galloway of Jackson, Miss, preached
an eloquent sermon, setting forth the
aims of Methodists throughout the
world and emphasizing the value of
the tenets of John Wesley. Commun-
ion followed. The Archbishop of Can
terbury and the Bishop of London sent
friendly messages, the Archbishop Of
Canterbury praying that Gods blessing
may rest. on the deliberations. The
Bishop of London sent a similar mes
sage, but adding the hope that some
day the sMethodists will be reunited
with the Episcopalians.
The most striking feature of the Ecu
menical conference was an impassion-
ed plea of the colored Bishop Walters,
of Jersey City, who received the
heartiest welcome of any OF
the American delegates. He de-
effort on foot on the part of the white
Americans to destroy the good opinion
which the English people had of
American negroes. He recapitulated
the lynching figures of the year 1900
and declared that though ninety ne
groes were lynched, in only eleven
cases had assault on white women
been proved.
THE English people have always
been our friends" he declared. You
gave us refuge, and now, when we
are struggling to improve ourselves, we
look to you our old time friends, to give
us sympathy and encouragement as
you did in the past"
The bishops asseverations of negro
murality elected loud cheers from the
English part of the audience, and sew
eral of the many Southern delegates
went out, while others did not conceal
their disagreement with the speaker.
Another incident which attracted
comment was a declaration of Sir
Charles Shelton, formerly Mayor of
Sheffield, who, in welcoming the Amer
leans, severely criticised the war in
South Africa, exclaiming Hell is let
loose in South Africa" He appealed
to the visitors to go back and by
preaching and example make such
wars impossible.
Bishop Hurst of Washington, D. c.,
dilated on the friendliness of the Brit
ish and American nations and convey
ed to the delegates President McKin-
ley's hearty good wishes for the sue
cess of the conference, which were cor
daily received

BLACK Is BOILING HOT.
Mayor of McKeesport Is Sore About
Deputies.

Pittsburg, Sept. Appropriations have
been completed for the starting up of
the Demmler Tin Plate plant at Nc
Keesport. The start will be made with
a full force of deputy sheriffs on guard,
the American Tin Plate company hav-
ing served notice on Sheriff Mckinley
of this, Allegheny county, that violence
was feared. The request for protection
was made by Supt. Lauck. and Sheriff
Mckinley at once made arrangements
for dispatching large number of depu-
ties to the scene.
McKeesport was thrown into a state
of CONSERVATION this afternoon by the
arrival of the force of deputies. At
the first intimation that such a course
would be pursued Mayor r. J. Black
held a conference over the telephone
with the sheriff. Later he went to
Pittsburg and on his return he was
boiling over with Indignation. He de-
nounced the action of Sheriff McKin-
ley in the bitterest terms. Chief of
Police Patrick ]. Morrissey volun-
teered to land every deputy at the
police station if the Mayor would only
give the word, but the Mayor caution
ed him that such action would tran
scend his powers.
The Mayor gave out signed state
ment shortly after the arrival of the
deputies, in which he denounced the
action of the sheriff as totally unwar-
ranted by the situation and asserts
his ability to prevent lawlessness. He
concludes:
II now call upon the striking work.
men Of McKeesport to give the lie TO
the alleged necessity for the presence
of these deputies. Stay away fiom
the Demmler mills and let the officials
tight their battle for the resumr,tion
with incompetent assistance. Ignore
their stealthy operations and remain
quietly about your homes. You will
lose nothing. and at the same time you
will emphasize the falsity of vicious
criticism directed at both yourselves
and me-"

TIME is NOT YET
FOR UNITED STATES TO INTER-
vENE IN sQUABBLE.
COLOMBIA IS NOW WILLING.
BUT VENEZUELA HAS NOT SAID
WHERE SHE STANDS.

This Country VIII Not Play the Part
of Mediator Unless Both Colombia
and Venezuela Consent-Colombia
Claims That Venezuela Is the Ag-
gressor-Stiu willing to Arbitrate
DiGerences-There Must BE No
Trouble in the Isthmus-United
States Won't stand for 1t.
Washington, Sept. 4.-The action of
the United States in rendering it's good
offices to Venezuela and Colombia to
avert a war between those countries
has not yet advanced to a point where
this government has begun the work
of mediator.
1t has signified it's willingness to act,
but it will remain for the two coun-
tries to indicate when the time has ar
rived for actual mediation. Colombia
already has made known that she will
welcome the exercise of the paclhc
offices of the United States.
In this acceptance is understood that
Colombia denies that she has invaded
Venezuela, and also places the burden
of the issue on President Castra in
person, as against the body OF the
Venezuelan people. The response OF
Venezuela is understood to be less def1-
mite in accepting the good offices or
the United States. For the present
therefore, it is not expected that the
United States will take further active
steps, although it's tender stands as a
clear intimation to the contending par
ties that the United States is likely
to take such action as is necessary TO
avert war.
The note of the United States offer
ing to mediate has created an unusual
stir in South American diplomatic
quarters. as it is construed to be a
rather marked development of the
Monroe doctrine. and one which will
be most acceptable to South America.
The Colombian government VIII
make an emphatic rejoinder to the
official statement of Venezuela that
armed invasions by Colombian troops
have been crossing the Ven
ezuelan frontier, and forcing
war upon that country. Although
the terms of the reply are not deter
mined upon it will show in substance
| that the attitude of Colombia has been
| one of forbearance; that Colombian
| troops on the frontier are there for the
legitimate purpose of protecting the
border and that any crossing of the
line has been by detached bands with
out the approval of the Federal gov
eminent.
AS against Venezuela's assertions
that Colombia is forcing war, it is like
ly to be pointed out that Colombia has
remained silent while Venezuela has
received the Colombian insurgent Gen.
Tribe at Caracas, and that President
Castro and Tribe have held confer
ences on their mutual plans.

ARRAIGNS DURBIN.
Gov. Replies to Criticisms
by I%ndiana's Executive.

by lnttana's Executive.
Frankfort, KY, Nov. 13.-Gov. Beck
ham last night addressed to Gov. Dur
bin Of Indiana a letter replying to the
criticism by that executive of the
courts and officials of Kentucky in his
recent letter refusing to honor the
reQuisition for Taylor and Finley,
wanted for alleged completely in the as
s~assination of Gov. Goebel. He severe
ly arraigns Durbin for his refusal,
charging that in doing so he violated
his oath of office to support the Con-
%stitution of the United States and that
he became a party after the fact to the
most Infamous crime in the history OF
this state, the cold-blooded and das-
tardly murder Of an eminent and dis
tinguished citizen Of Kentucky. The
Kentucky executive also charges that
Gov. Durbin's action in refusing was
the result Of political bargain made be-
fore his election to office, and charac-
terizes his charges against the courts
and officials Of Kentucky as SANDER
Gus and inexcusable misrepresenta-
ions.
He takes the stand hat the governor
but only ministerial power in the honor
ing Of legally drawn acquisitions from
other states, and this is taken here as
an indication that steps will shortly be
taken in the courts to compel Durbln
by mandamus to honor the acquisitions.
1t sue procee iings are instituted they
will be in the courts of Indiana and
taken on appeal to the supreme court.
