Pittsburg, July IA threat by District
Manager Persffer F. Smith Of the Ameri-
can Sheet Steel company to start the
Wellsville rolling mill and operate it, as
1t has been in the past, by non union men,
was the only new feature in the strike sit
uation this morning and the eyes Of all
interested were turned to that plant.
Up to 10 O'Clock, however, nothing had
been heard from Wellsville at the head
quarters of the Amalgamated association
in this city. They refused to believe that
the Wellsville mill had started up and
said they had every reason to believe the
plant was shut down and viii remain so.
A dispatch to the Associated Press from
Wellsville. Ohio, at 10:SO o'clock, says:
The strike situation here remains as it
has been ever since the men were called
out of the mill. P. f. Smith, manager for
the American Sheet Steel company for the
Pitsburg district, here Tuesday and IN
an address to the mill men declared that
the mill will be run as a non-union MILL
He has orders for the mill to start this
morning. In response to Smiths order
about thirty men went out to work. Two
OF them were members of the Amalgamated
Association The manager of the mill con-
cluded that thirty men were not sufficient
to man the crews, and the attempt for the
present has been abandoned. 1t is said
non-union men from other places will be
brought here to-day, in which case serious
trouble is feared.
May Import Workers.
Now that Manager Smith has declared
himself, it is thought the managers Of
the other non union plants also will make
an effort to resume within a few days
and developments of an exciting nature
are expected. 1t is known a gang of men
are at work at the Devices Wood plant
of the American Sheet Steel company at
McKeesport, clearing up and making re-
pairs, and well-defned rumor was
prevalent on the south side Of this city
to-day that an effort is to be made by
the mill officers in the Painter plant to
break the strike by bringing workers here
from out Of the city. In confirmation of
this, for the first time since the strike
began, watchmen armed with clubs, pa
trolled all sides of the mill this morning.
None Of the strikers were to be seen
about the property and everything was
quiet The mill officers declined to dis
cuss the matter and said when they are
ready to move they will do SO without
any noise. For the present nothing is
being done, they said, beyond cleaning up
the mills and making repairs that had
been neglected owing to the rush of BUST
ness. The Wood plant is closely guarded
also and the strikers look for the manu-
facturers to attempt resumption next
week.
On the other Hand.

SHOOTING THE WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS.

out OF the preference of her request for an
increase of her indemnity by withdrawing
that request. The result is a substantial
loss to Japan. She asked originally for
S23,O0O,OO0. This figure was more mod
crate than any of the other powers which
played any prominent part in the Chinese
campaign and represented the barest ex-
pense Of the undertaking. 1t was fixed
upon the idea that payment was to be
made in cash by China.
Confronted with the bond payment the
Japanese government asked that her al
lotment be increased to $27 200, 900 in
bonds to make good the loss she would
suffer through the sale of the bonds. AS
soon as some of the other nations found
that the allotment, as originally fixed, was
in danger of being disturbed they came in
with increased demands, and thus it is
that Japan, finding that insistence upon
her demand will blockade the negotiations
at this phase, has withdrawn her request.
for the present at least. 1t is safe to as
sumo that the United States government
will do what 1T can to secure compensa-
tion for Japan in some other way in the
future.
Mr.. Rockhill, our special commissioner
at Peking, has been instructed to give
the consent of the United States to the
discussion Of the proposition to increase
the Chinese custom duties in order to
provide means for the payment of the in
ternatlonal indemnity. Our government
is still opposed to this project, and the
instruction Is sent only in Difference to
the universal wish for a speedy conclu-
sion of the negotiations at Peking. 1t is
learned that the hitch in these negotia-
tions, the most battling that has yet oc-
Cured, is due entirely to the issue raised
as to the increase of customs.
Disposition of Manchuria.
It is understood to be the desire
of some of the great powers that
the disposition of Manchuria shall
go before the ministers at Peking and be
finally determined by a joint agreement
among the powers. Although no definite
step has been taken in that direction. it
is being discussed by foreign representa-
tives stationed here who fully expect that
the plan will be adopted. Russia, it is be-
lieved, will be reluctant to agree to it.
Attention has been directed to the latter
by reports that Russia had resumed nego-
tiations with China regarding Manchuria.
AS to the report that Russia will pro-
claim Nu Chwang to be Russian port.
it Is pointed out in diplomatic quarters
that Nu Chwang is a treaty port and as
such, open to the commerce of the world
under the existing tariff regulations with
China, and foreign merchants have the
right to trade and to conduct establish
ments there. These rights of trade can
not be diverted; in the opinion of diplo-
matte officials, by the Russian prociama-
tiOn unless the powers previously give as
sent. Thus far however, there has been
no request from Russia or China for anv
change in the status of Nu Chwang as one
of the treaty ports.

declaration and the evident prepara-
tions at the Painter and Woods works
an official OF another of the companies
interested, who did not want his name
used, asserted that the companies have
no intention of starting their plants. The
same official said something might be-
done in ninety days, but he would not
say whether that was the time the officials
expected the strike to last.
What the manufacturers generally think
OF the strike cannot be learned. All
information at the offices OF the COM
panies or at the mills is denied The
explanation offered is that there is
nothing to give out or that order has
gone forth forbidding anyone to talk.
President Shaffer is still hopeful OF an
early settlement OF the strike. The in
formation he received from the strike
centers to-day was quite meager. This
he interpreted to mean that the strike
is going on well.
Nothing further has been done in ref
erence to the issuance OF a strike cali
to the Amalgamated men in the mills
of the United States Steel corporation
outside the three companies against
which the fight is now directed He will
issue the order only when it becomeR
necessary he says. 1t is evidently thG
purpose of the association to confne it's

panieS now involved
Dispatches from ScottdaIe report the
efforts OF strike organizers at the old
Meadow works up to this time as hav-
ing been fruitless number of em-
ployes declared that they will not strike
under any circumstances.
At Salisbury everything Is moving har-
mon1ously and a strike is not appre-
hended. The plant is running in full with
three mills, and the men are apparently
a unit against striking.
Urged to Organize.
The executive committee OF the Amalga-
mated Association sent a circular letter
this morning to the sheet workers OF
Vandergrift, Leechurg and Apollo, making
a strong appeal to them to organize.
These places are still at work and what
effect this circular will .have cannot be
stated as yet; but as these mills ere
among the largest in the country, the out
come will be watched with great interest.

FLOUR CFTY's ARGUMENT
UnanswerabIe Statement of Its De-

Unanswerable Statement of It's De-
mands on the Omaha Road.
The committees argument covered the
concessions asked of the Omaha by the
business men at the meeting of the coun-
ell committee. 1t stated that the business
men wanted the council to be fair and
liberal in its treatment of railroads and
expected like consideration for the city
from the roads.
Freight rate discrimination against the
twin cities and in favor of St. Louis was
the first topic handled. In the discussion
the committee treated the Omaha as part
Of the North Western system and there
fore a Chicago road. If the Omaha were
not part of this system, said the COM
mittee, it would have long since have in
sisted that the twin cities be treated as
Mississippi river point in the matter of
freight rates The committee insisted that
1t was hardly worth while TO consider the
position that the Omaha and North West
ern were competing systems. A majority
of the Omaha stock is owned by the North

AS to train service, Mr.. Clarke did not
believe that the present arrangement was
disadvantage. The fact that 100 more
people got off at st. Paul daily than Min
neapolis proved nothing People did not
buy tickets at random. They knew which
town they wanted to go to. Mr.. Partridge
took issue with the Omaha official on this
point
Brought to an Issue.
Alderman Merrill finally brought the
discussion to head by asking the Omaha
official what he was willing to do for Min
neapolis in the way of concessions.
Mr.. Clarke said that he knew Of nothing
further that the Omaha could do.
General Counsel Wilson answered the
request for moving the shops and head
quarters from St. Paul to Minneapolis.
He drew a fine moral point that while
there was no contract, the Omaha was
under an agreement with st. Paul to keep
the shops there in return for a tract of
6AOUAu lAdS AdO Dc6u given the EOdu. MI.
Smith said that Minneapolis would make
good the forty acres. Alderman Jones
thought that in the absence of distinct
contract Mr.. Wilson was drawing the
moral point too fine. Superintendent
Trenholme said that it would cost $2,OOO.-
600 to move the shops to Minneapolis,
and that under present conditions it
would be impossible to organize the shops
here on an operating basis. Alderman
Chatfeld questioned the agreement as
being Of an enduring nature. Mr.. Clarke
also added that it was impossible to
change the location of the general Offices.
In addition to extra expense, they had to
consider the interests of it's employees.
many of whom had homes in st. Paul.
Mr. Wilson closed the conference with
general 'jolly" for Minneapolis. The
next conference is to occur within week.

THE NEXT CARNIVAL
WILL BE BETTER AND
CHEAPER THAN THIS
1t All Depends on Getting an Early
Start, and Compelling Sowmen to
Make the First Propositions. y

The executive committee of the car
nival association will meet at 4: 80 this
afternoon to wind up the affairs of the
carnival and prepare a statement to
the public.
1t is now the purpose of the associa-
ton to advise and probably effect a
reorganization of a permanent associ-
alton. but it will probably be done by
calling a meeting of the representative
business men of the city at an carly
date when the next organization will
be effected.
1t is very important that an associa-
ton be formed at once if the next car
nival is a success. The committee re-
ports this time that they have been
forced to pay double prices for all la
Dor on account of not having time to
do it. and have paid double telegraph
expenses. mail, and everything else be-
cause it was all rush work.
If the next carnival is begun at once,
so the committee thinks, it can be
made a greater success in every way
with half the money expended on the
present one.
Secretary Lockwood said this morn
ing that he never saw, such good work
on the part of the entire committee
and that a better committee could not
have been found. He has been in the
carnival and street fair business since
1889 and has probably had as much eX-
perience in the business as any man
in the country. He stated also that
| if the association begins at once and
announces to the public that Ell Paso
is going to have a carnival at a GER
tain time next year all other towns,
that are preparing for such a thing
will arrange their affair so as to not
interfere with it. Also the many shows
in the country will know in advance
that Ell Paso will have a carnival at
that time and will arrange their routes
so as to make this city conveniently.
This is important" said Mr.. Lock-
wood. ''for it is always better to have
these attraction writing here for space
than for the committee to have to write
them asking them to come and guar
anteeing them certain amount. The
next carnival in FL Paso can startle the
country, and the most important thing
is to begin now. 1t is not a matter
of attractions as much as the matter
of securing them cheap. Any one can
get up carnival with plenty of money
ey as possible.

MY INDIAN QUEEN. By Guy Booth
by. Published by d. Appleton and
company, New York. Price so cents.
Guy Boothby's story of a big. gall
liant, Irish captain ard an Englishman
of noble birth who fled from their
debts in England to India and there
tried to win fortune by overthrowing
a usurping rajah and bring the rightful
one to power, is as full or adventure
and strange scenes as the plot allows.
There are fights between beasts and
beasts. between men and beasts, and
between men and men; there are gor-
geous palace scenes and the big heart
ed Irish captain predominating over it
all. There is a bit of love in the story,
an English girl to fight duels over. and
the Indian queen dying for love of the
English soldier. All in all it is a story
worth reading to pass an evening away.
