Refuses to Give Up Royalties for

Washington, Aug. 26.-The depart
ment of justice, in an opinion by Act
ing Attorney General Beck, has advised
the Secretary of the Navy that he is
justified in Withholding his approval of
certain vouchers which have been sub
mitted by the Bethlehem Steel Com

the use of the Harvey process in hard

ment agreed to repay these royalties

The liability to pay these royalties
has been a matter of dispute for some
years, and while the particular royal
ties only relate to the hardening of the
armor plates for the battleships Illi-
nois and Wisconsin. yet the decision af-
fects all of the royalties upon the va
rious battleships which have been con-
structed since 1898 or under process of
construction.

ARMED WITH A SCYTHE.
Negro Defends His House Against
Alabama Mob.

Decatur, Ala, Aug. 26.-With a
scythe blade, Enoch Henderson. ne
gro farmer of Moulton Heights, last
night held at bay mob of twenty-five
masked white men and probably fatally
wounded one of them. The mob want
ed Henderson's life, because of a diff
Guilty betwene him and a white man
named Noel Graham several days ago.
Graham is in bed badly hurt, having
been struck on the head with a brick
thrown by the negro. Graham and the
negro. whose lands adjoin. had fallen
out over n gate upon which Henderson
had placed lock and key.
Learning of the difficulty and Gra-
hams condition, some of the neighbors
became infuriated and it seems plotted
to have revenge upon Henderson last
night. Henderson barricaded himself
in the attic of his cabin. armed only
with a scythe blade. and awaited the
mob's arrival. About midnight the
mob attacked the house, firing a dozen
bullets into it. They broke down the
door and started into the attic, one
man leading with lamp and gun in
his hand. Before the man reached the
head of the stairs Henderson claims
to have struck him full in the face
with the weapon welded with both
hands. The man fell to the floor and
was carried away my his friends.

THEY MAKE NO OFFERS.
Officers OF Labor Unions Merely
Want 10 Stop Trouble.


Eew York. Aug. 26.-Ralph M. Eas-
ley. secretary of the National Civic
Federation of Labor, and Henry White.
secretary of the United Garment Work
ers of America, arrived here to-day
from Pittsburg. They said they had
not been authorized to make any prop
ositlon looking towards a settlement of
the United States Steel Corporation
While in Pittsburg they had a confer
ence with President Shaffer of the
Amalgamated Association, but without
tangible result.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, also arr
rived in the city to-day coming from
Gompers was in conference with Mr..
Easley and Mr.. White, but it was said
the conference resulted in no plan of
action. Mr.. Easley said to-day:
Mr. White and did not go to Pitts
burg to make any proposition to Mr..
Shaffer, nor have we been authorized
to make any proposition to the steel
trust managers. We went there to get
information and quite by chance we
met. Prof. jerks, the trust expert or
the industrial commission, and John
Workers, and the four of us went to
see President Shaffer. We merely
wanted to be informed of the actual
situation and to see whether there was
any opening for the good offices
of our conciliation board. Mr..
Mitchell for his part. wanted
information because he had been asked
to call out 2S0,000 miners on a sympa-
thetic strike. and was not willing to
go it blind We had no proposition to
make and we did not seek authority to
act for the Amalgamated Association.
We merely made it clear that we were
at the service of both sides in an effort
to reach a settlement"
I'VE are ready" Mr.. Easley added,
ito endeavor to bring the contending
factors to an understanding, but we
have made no offers to either side.
Such an offer might do more harm than
good
Mr.. Easley said in conclusion that
he did not expect to see Messrs. Nor
gan and Schwab and that he was not
trying to obtain conference with
them.

WON'T STAND FOR 1T
OPERATIVES AT COLUMBIA WALK
OUT OF MILLS.
REQUIRED TO MAKE UP TIME.
THEY WE'RE TO LOSE ENJOYING
LABOR DAY.

Five Hundred Employees of the Mills
Are on Strike-They Have Been
Denied Admission TO the Mills.
Officers of Mills Say There Shall
Be No UniOnism in Column mbia.
Ready to Take Back Those Who
Sign Agreement.
Columbia, S. c.. Aug. 26.-Five hum
dred operatives at the Olympia, Gran
by, Richland and Capital City cotton
mills, who refused to make up the time
that will be lost on Labor Day by
working six hours overtime last Sat
urday, were denied admission to the
mills this morning, and were notified
of their suspension for a week.
The operatives fell in line and pa
raded through the village with much
cheering.
Textile Union No. 211 is meeting to-
night to take action, and are receiving
hundreds of new members. Since the
strength of the union has been di-
vulged President Smith Whaley said
to-day:
I'VE do not propose to have any
unionism in our business. The mills
in South Carolina have agreed to en-
ploy no union labor whatsoever. 1 will
close down every mill before / will enl-
ploy a union man. All my operatives
will be required to sign an agreement
that they will not belong to a union.
The union strength is estimated at
900 old members and has been increased
by several hundred recently. The
union is expected to declare a strike at
its meeting tonight, which will effect
1900 operatives.
On Saturday last, the cotton mills
here posted a notice that Labor Day
holiday would be given the operatives,
but as unusual extra time would have
to be worked, making up the lost day
on the two Saturdays preceding Labor
Day. There were about 300 operatives
to walk out. On Saturday night a
meeting of the union was held. The
men were advised to return to work this
morning and see what the management
would do. They found themselves shut
out of the mills. President Whaley,
who is the head of most of the mills,
declares that the company owns its
mills and proposes to run them itself;
that it will not tolerate unionism in
the mills, and that throughout the
state the mill men have agreed to close
the mills rather than submit to union
ISM They stand ready he says, to
take back all men who will sign a
paper to the effect that they do not
belong to any union and will not join
one. ~
President Whaley will issue his ulti-
matum tomorrow, it is understood, re-
quiring all employees to sign his agree
ment to leave the union and will, more
over, not reinstate the 500 shut out
until their names are also affixed to the
pledge.
The unionists to a man will strike be-
fore they will sign the pledge, and a
large majority of the nom -unionists
have expressed the same intention.
The union meeting tonight took no
aggressive action beyond receiving the
pledges of it's members not to forsake
the organization. The mill officials have
the city police guarding the mills to-
night to prevent dynamiting.

KRUGER ON KITCHENER.
Doer President Says Resistance Will
BE to the End.

London, Aug. 27.-The Dailn Tele-
graph publishes to-day a long inter-
view with Mr.. Kruger, at Hilversum,
on Lord Kitchener's latest proclama
ton. The correspondent says
Mr.. Kruger. who seemed greatly i'm
proved in health, spoke vehemently and
with intense feeling, rejecting the idea
that anything had been changed except
the attitude of the British govern
ment. He insisted that the tactics of
the Beers were still as regular as at the
beginning of the war. Their forces. he
said, were smaller and were split up
into small parties because the British
had split their forces into innumerable
small columns. He declared that ever
since the capture of Bloemfontein the
British had trampled upon the code of
International law. AS for provision.
transports and the cattle the British
are continually seizing. Mr.. Kruger
said, these were intended not for the
Boer commanders, which live from
hand to mouth, but for the women and
children.
He contended that Lord Kitchener's S
proclamation itself recognized that the
Beers had a regular administration and
an army. The proclamation could
have but one effect-to embitter and
intensity resistance. He said the ques-
ton whether any protest against it
would be issued was still under con-
sideration; but this matter was of lit
tie import to the burghers, who did not
look to- Europe for approval, blame or
instructions
Having characterized the proclama-
ton as the blackest crime committed
against the Boers,' Mr.. Kruger closed
the interview by solemnly calling heav-
EN- to witness that the story of Dutch
conspiracy against the British was an
abominable lie, the most mischievous
and diabolical lie ever coined since man
first appeared in the world
HE said, however. that peace was
still possible on the basis of give and
take, and that the Beers were ready
to make sacrifices and to give satisfac-
tory guarantees on the basis of inde-
rendence and free pardon to colonial
Afrikanders."

BY FALLING ORDERS
MANY MEN PRECIPITATED INTO
CONGAREE.
FOUR KILLED, THREE HURT.
ALL OF LATTER ARE LIKELY TO
DIE OF WOUNDS.

cirders Falling Pinioned Three Men
TO Bridge and Killed Them In
stantIy-Others Knocked Into the
River-Rains Had Caused Ropes
Holding Girders to Slip-kiIled and
wounded All Residents of COIum-
bia.
columbia, S. c., Aug. 26.-In an ac-
cident to-day at the new bridge which
the Southern Railway is building
across the Congaree river near Colum-
bia four men were killed and three
were injured, one fatally and two seri-
ously.
The accident occurred at $3.50 o'clock
this morning and was caused by the
falling of two steel girders about 70
feet long, weighing fourteen tons each.
The two girders were hoisted about
midway of the river above the bridge.
The rains of the night previous had
probably caused the ropes holding
them in place to slip.
The crash came without the slightest
warming and at time when there were
seventy-five people on the bridge, spec
tators and workmen. Three of the men
were pinned to the bridge and killed
instantly, four more were knocked into
the river. two of whom were rescued
by a government tug, which came up
from the Congaree locks a quarter of a
mile away.
The names of the dead and wounded
are:
S. ]. Castleberry, killed.
Reuben Allston, killed.
Job deByas, killed.
Jim Reese, drowned
The wounded are:
David Stiles, fatally.
A. T. Thornton, seriously.
Sam Willifred, seriously.
The river is considerably swollen at
present, but will be dredged to-mor-
row for the body of Jim Reese. Reese
would probably have escaped, but he
became terrified and jumped 70 save
himself, and was drowned before the
tug could reach him.
The bridge is being built by the Phoe-
nix Bridge Company of Philadelphia.
The bridge was not damaged materially
by the accident, though it is feared
some of the work has been greatly
strained by the fall of the girders.
The Seaboard Airs Lines tracks
were used by the Southern until the
wreckage could be cleared. All OF the
killed and injured belong to Colombia.

Austin. Tex, Aug. 26.-The House OF
Representatives to- day adopted, by
vote of 55 to 3S, the following resoiu-
ton, introduced by Mr.. McFall OF
Travis county after a debate of con-
siderable length:
BE it resolved by the House OF
Representatives OF the Legislature OF
the state of Texas. That trusts and
monopolies are contrary to the spirit
and genius of free people. destructive
of individual liberty and subversive of
the principles of a republican form OF
government: that we recognize in the
United States Steel Corporation an or
ganization which embodies all the evils
of the trust. monopoly and community
of interests idea, and one which by
reason of the manner and amount OF
its capitalization and plan of operation,
may be said to be the very head and
front of the offending system. That we
are in hearty sympathy with the Anal
gamated Association of Steel Workers
in the contest which they are now
waging with the United States Steel
Corporation for just and equitable
recognition of their union"

WANT NO SETTLEMENT.
shaner Says Association Is Winning
the Fight.

Pittsburg, Aug. 26.-While the repre-
sentatives of the National Civic FEEDER
alton are working zealously for peace
between the steel workers and the
United States Steel Corporation, Presi-
dent Shaffer of the Amalgamated Asso-
ciated declared to-day that his organi-
zation had given no authority to any
one to make settlement; that any effort
may be made in that direction is being
done by outside parties on their own
responsibility.
He announced that so far as the Of
ficials of the organization are concerned
they are satisfied that the attempts of
the officials of the trust to operate the
plants in Pittsburg have been futile,
and that while there is apparently
lot of men at work and machinery is
in operation. practically no product is
being turned out.
The officials of the various plants
that have been started during the PAST
week in Pittsburg say that they have
made gains in all of them. More men
have come to work and the output is
in every case increased.

sHAMROCK's TRIAL SPIN.
Light Winds and Gains Hurt It's
Eject.

Eject.
New York. Aug. 26.-Light winds and
calms to-day spoiled what might have
been a very interesting trial spin of
the Shamrock II off Sandy Hook. Sir
Thomas Upton, Designer G. l.. Watson
and Commodore J. B. Hilliard, of the
Royal Clyde Yacht Club. were on board
the Shamrock II, as was Navigator
John Hamilton.
AS soon as the yacht reached point
about a mile south of the lightship the
baby lib was taken in and larger one
hoisted. This was substituted in ten
minutes for a still longer one, then a
big reaching jib topsail was set. and
finally a ballooner. All of these looked
well, fitted well and seemed to do good
work while they were set.
The water was absolutely smooth all
day. and the yacht slipped along at a
five-knot gait, making very little fuss
at the bow whenever there was wind
enough to fill all her sails.
