EVERYTHING is QUIET
IN STRIKE DISTRICT
Rumors of Intended Injunc-
tion Proceedings
TO TERMINATE TROUBLE

AT the Local Headquarters of the
Amalgamated Association the OIL
Gals Are Still Pursuing the Policy
of Watching and Waiting.
PITTsBURG, July 24-The status of
the strike this morning remains un-
changed, except for the rumors of in
tended injunction proceedings and of
efforts being made by disinterested par
ties to bring the leaders for the two
contending forces together with view
of bringing the conflict to a termination
by compromise of some sort.
Vary Preston, former president of the
American Steel Hoop company, and
John Warner of the Carnegie Steel
company are in the city and their visits
seem to have given rise to the supposi-
ton that they have come here to discuss
this question with officials of the Anal.
gamaTed association.
Reports were in circulation that a
conference was had last night, as Presi-
dent Shaffer and Secretary Williams of
the Amalgamated association were seen
on the streets down town at an early
hour this morning.
When seen today both vigorously de-
MED that there had been a conference
of any kind. Preston and Warner could
not be located. So far nothing has been
done i'll the matter of the proposed in
junction proceedings against the strik
ers, but it is understood the papers are
being prepared and the attorneys will
offer them in the federal courts within
day or two.
At the local headquarters of the Anal
gamated association, the officials appear
to be still pursuing the policy of watch
ing and waiting. When asked when
they were going to call out all the Anal
gamated men i'll the different mills of
the corporation, it was said that the
time had not yet come for that
Matters remain quiet at Devices wood
mill at McKeespOrt The mill was
guarded all night by the strikers,
against the introduction of non-union
men, but the piekets were withdrawn
today, the strikers believing that no
immediate attempt will be made to op-
crate the works.
They are still on the alert, however,
and say they will not be caught nap.
ping. Two non-union men succeeded
in eluding the watchers at Wellsville
last night and the working force was
increased that many today. Everything
was quiet about the town.
Locally rumors are being persistently
circulated of attempts to be made at
Painters, Lindsay and McCutcheon and
Clarks tC resume operations shortly.
The reports are to the effect that Paint
ers and Clarks mills are to be started
with men from the upper mills of the
Carnegies and that the agent of the
Lindsay and McCutcheon plant is down
south trying to secure men. At Clarks
mill the strikers were surprised to find
today detail of policemen guarding
the property. An iron fence separating
the Clark plant from Carnegie's upper
mill has been torn down and it is said
workmen from the Carnegie works will
be quietly transferred to Clarks. The
strikers are expecting serious develop.
ments and are preparing themselves for
emergencies.

DastardIy Attempt to Wreck South.
ern Train Near Tenui1le.
TENNILLE, Ga, July An attempt
to wreck a Southern passenger train
near Sandersville yesterday failed. The
train was coming toward Tennille.
At Silas Point, mile north of San
dersville, the track of the Southern runs
into a gully around a curve. 1t is con.
sidered dangerous point. Across the
track was pile of promiscuous debris,
consisting of rocks, old iron, ties and
tree limbs. Sectionman Duffy, who had
been at work in that section, was re-
turning to Sandersville, and discovered
the work of the would-b wreckers and
had it removed before the passenger
came along.
Only one hour before the passenger
was due at Silas Point special train
passed going to Augusta and everything
was all right. This is the third attempt
to wreck trains near SiIas Point within
the last six months.

NAVY GREATLY EXCITED.
Schley's Letter Causes Sensation OF
the Day.

Cne Day.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-Information
that Admiral Schley's letter asking for
court of inquiry had been received by
Secretary Long soon spread through the
navy department and not since the re-
cent war days has the case excited such
general attention.
Congress in 1895 established the prin.
clple that no courtmartial could be held
two years after the occurrence under in.
vestigation. This is known as the naval
statute of limitations, and while 1t bars
a courtmartial relating to the Santiago
campaign, it does not bar the court of
inquiry. In this case the court of in.
quiry wonld be effective only in estab-
fishing records and would not be pre.
Iiminary to courtmartial.
An important feature in the order di.
recting the court is that specifying
whether it shall state only the facts
found, or shall also give an opinion
based on the facts. Unless the order
expressly requires the court to give their
opinion they are confined to stating the
facts found. 1t is considered unite
probable, however, that in a case ofthis
Importance the order would direct the
court to record it's opinion as well as its
conclusion of facts.
Whether the investigation shall be
held in open court or not is decided by
the court itself, unless specified in the
convening ORDER This leaves it option
al with the president or Secretary Long
to direct that the proceedings shall be
open or closed, but in case no specific
direction is given on this point the
court will decide it,
When the court of inquiry reaches its
decision, all the papers are forwarded to
the judge advocate general of the navy
and the final approval or .disapproval
rests with the secretary of the navy or
the president, according TO which one
has ordered the court.

Waterman on guard TO admit those
