LEADERS STILL DISCUSSING
STEEL STRIKE SETTLEMENT
Difficulty in Arranging Terms to Suit
Both Sides.
BY Associated Press:

BY Associated Press:
Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-The third ses-
sion of the meeting of the executive
committee of the Amalgamated asso-
citation was held today. President
Shaffer appears to be exceedingly anx-
ious to bring about settlement of the
controversy, but it does not seem
that he will be successful unless he is
able to obtain some modification of
the terms laid down by the steel cor
poration. The unsettled condition Of
affairs has produced great restless
ness among those interested. Pending
the result of the conference, strike
leaders have lost none of their vigi-
lance and the operating officials of the
combine are going on with plans to
start up the mills.

SURPRISING NEWS.

"The practice OF keeping things out
Of the paper makes it very difficult
for daily newspaper to do it's duty
and give all the news. There are in
terested parties ready to throw them
selves into the breach at every impor-
tant occurrence, and importune the
newspapers not to publish the facts.
There is hardly a week in the year
when the newspapers of the city are
not called upon to suppress some news
item. and sometimes it happens sever
al times in week." says the Little
Rock, (Ark.) Democrat. Men will
even ask and expect an item of news
to be suppressed when the entire
community is already talking about it.
They will ask the editors and publish
ers not to mention a certain occur
renee when, as a matter of fact, its
publication would harm no one.
IF the paper declines to leave out
the item the applicant becomes very
indignant; if it yield, and q contem-
porary later publishes the news it
never occurs to the gentleman that he
has injured the legitimate business Vt
a newspaper, and he ought to apollo
e;Ze AMI do SO no more. On the con-
lw.ry, when local newspaper leaves
oc,' an lem. which appears later in
an out-of-town journal, the very men
who ask for it's suppression are the
frs. to say: You must read snch and
such paper to get the news
did it ever occur to you men who
request a newspaper not to publish a
certain item that it would be just as
reasonable to ask a merchant not to
make a certain sale? You are asking
the newspaper TO omit it's most at
tractive feature and to become tedi.
Gus, and perhaps tiresome. merely for
your benefit Possibly you may have
business relations with the newspa-
per. That certainly gives you no right
to make exactions which amount to
the same thing as If some one de-
nsnded that you dispense with the
most desirable part of your business.
'The newspapers get tired and sick
of being importuned to keep things
out The reporters get discouraged,
the newspaper readers, hearing of
something which ought to have ap-
peared on time, make derogatory re-
marks at the apparent lack of enter
prise manifested by the Journal that
has been worked and imposed upon..'

RAISED THE ASSESSMENT.
State Board increases the Railroad
vaiuation.-Compan are
Satisfied.

The state board of equalization has
been in executive session almost the
entire day says the Herald. Once the
railroad men were called in to furnish
the board with light upon the PROPOSE
ton of taxing the franchises separate
from the other property. Late in the
afternoon the board sent for the rail
road men to announce to them the
conclusions that it had reached. AT
press time the meeting had not com
menced. 1t is understood, however
that the board has decided to increase
the valuations of the railroads about
two and One-half per cent. This
amounts to an increase of about $685.
OO2 over last year. making the total
valuation of the railroads $15,375,O9
providing these figures stand. 1t is,
of. course, possible the board may
make notifications in these figures.
This increase is said to be less than
the railroads feared.
During the morning the board in
vited the railway representatives be-
fore the board to discuss matter
under consideration. The PROPOSE
tion that was under discussion was
that of the assessment of the fran
chise of the railroads separate from
the roadbed and rails. The board in
vited the views of the railroad men
upon that proposition.
Mr. Fernald gave it as his idea tha.
an assessment of the roads naturally
carried with it an assessment of the
franchise; in other words, tina. the
franchise was part of the property
since without the franchise the pro-
perty would have but little value.
Mr.. Wilkinson spoke in similar
vein.
During the discussion of the matter
the case of the Oregon Short Line and
the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake railroad, that are struggling for
a piece of grade in a canyon was cited
as showing that the grade In
question had some value although not
provided with rails or used.
One railroad man suggested that
the segregation of the franchise from
the rest of the property for taxation
might be aviolation of the constitution
but this was held to be not very vel!
taken since the franchises of street
railways are taxed separate from the
property. The fact that the railroads
are chiefly acting undec franchises
obtained in other states raised the
question of the legality of a tax upon
the franchise separate from the bal
ance of the property. Il was shown
however, that in 1897 one road mad
been assessed 81 per mile for the
franchise and $249 per nile for the
rails which was equivalent to pc!
mile assessment of $3.50.

Mr.. Hardy, an English tourist, has
just made the first ascent this year of
the Jungfrau. This mountain. which
is nearly $4,000 feet in height. is a
most fatiguing climb and is very dan
gerous at this time of the year. The
whole climb took 81 hours to accom-
plish, and in Alpine circles it is con-
sidered a most lucky and daring per-
formance.
