The Project Was Seriously Considered
by France,

Faris, January IA despatoh received

organization OF the defense of Belgium

governments project, that Gen. Zurlin-
den, the former French minister OF war,
proposed In 1897, to the superior war
council that France annex Belgium and
that the Belgium minister at Paris moth
he'd his government OF this fact.
The despatch adds that Great Britain
at that time was Indifferent, while
Germany was inclined to anquiesce, re-
Garding the suggested annexation az
Frances compensation for the loss OF
Alsace-Lorraine. The statement has
caused q sensation in Belgium and has
attracted much attention in France.
Baron D'Anothan, the Belgian minis
ter here, in an interview, denies that he
has attributed such a declaration TO Gen.
ZurIinden. He admits he sent his gov
ernment cuttings from newspapers
making similar assertions, but he re-
Trained from comment on them. The
minister adds that throughout his cageer
he remembers no incident tending to
affect the neutrality of Belgium, except
at the time OF the French Empire and
its schemes regarding the left bank of
the Kline.

mands.

U TO GUESSING.
Constitution Again Beaten in Good
Style BY Columbia.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 22-Columbia
gave Constitution a good sound beat
ing today twice around the Seawhan-
aka triangular course. On corrected
time the old boat won by two minutes
and five seconds and on elapsed time
by a minute and 80 seconds. But the
figures do not represent the decisive
ness of Columbia's victory, for as a
matter of fact she beat the new boat
twice. The first time around the tri-
angle of 14A miles, Columbia gained
over five minutes. Then a shift of
wind on the short leg across the home
run, put Constitution upon even terms
when a new race was practically start
ed, the breeze now coming true again.
This time Columbia gained over a
minute and a half. With the ~interna.
tional contest less than a month away
this race reopens the whole cup de-
fender proposition and yachtsmen are
guessing again.

CHALLENGER PERFORMS VERY
SATISFACTORILY.
WATER MOSTLY SMOOTH
Sails Set Well for First Time
Out Especially Her
Mainsail.

New York, Aug. 22-Sir Thomas
Lipton's new challenger for the Amer
icas cup, the Shamrock II, had her
first trial spin in New York lower
bay today and although it only lasted
80 minutes it was a most satisfactory
performance from start to finish.
Sir Thomas Upton and Designer
George L. Watson, both of whom were
on board the yacht during her trial
expressed themselves as perfectly sat
isfied with the result.
In sailing about eight miles dead
to windward against a - knot wind,
she covered the distance in 81 min
utes and the reach back of six miles
in 40 minutes. The wind was fresh
and fairly steady from about south
by east and Of from 10 to - knots
strength. The yacht carried mainsail,
working topsail, forestry sail and jib.
At times while on the wind, she
put her lee. rail under a trife, but she
showed herself we'll able to carry her
sail and she appeared to be quite as
stiff as either the Constitution of the
Columbia. Her sails set remarkably
well for the first time out. The main
sail, a splendid piece of duck with
narrow cloths and wide seams and of
the cross cut pattern, was set for the
first time today. 1t fitted to perfec-
ton.
The trial was all in smooth water.
Except during the last mile of the
windward when she passed out by |
Coney Island point. There a slight
easterly swell made her pitch a lit
tie but not enough to stop Roadway
to any extent. She makes very little
fuss under her lee bow and carries
hardly any quartering wave. Her
wake is clean from observation taken
from directly astern.

STRIKE LEADERS PLEASED AT
BEHAVIOR OF MEN.
NO VIOLENCE ANYWHERE
Governor Stone May Be Asked to
Tender Good Offices as
Arbitrator.

Pittsburg, Aug. 22-Aside from the
partial equipment Of the Star plant of
the American Tin Plate company and
the preparation for it's immediate re-
sumption Of business there were no
special developments in the strike sit
uation in this city today. No further
trouble occurred at the Pennsylvania
Tube works and at all other strike
points quiet reigns. The Amalga-
mated people point with pride to the
conduct of their members in restrain
ing themselves from violence when
they see no~n-unionists being marched
into the mills to take their places.
The incident at the Star plant this
morning is given for an example of
special significance and to use an
sAmalgamated officials expression,
shows the men have been educated to
the knowledge that their strongest
weapon in such cases is silence and
submission until it is demonstrated
that the mills cannot be operated sue
cessfully without the aid of skilled
men now on strike. The steel men,
on the other hand, are highly pleased
with their success in manning the
Star plant and say that if the men they
secure are not molested it will be but
a short time until all of their mills
will be in operation and good work
being done. Shaffer said this evening
that no movement has yet been made
by representatives. of either side look
ing to arbitration or intervention. No.
offer had gone out from the steel peo-
pie on the subject and none had gone
out from the workers. There is, how
ever, he said, a tendency among the
labor leaders to discuss the policy of
arbitration and or every side was
heard mentions Of the name of Gov
ernor Stone as an arbitrator or con-
ciliator and it is said he will be asked
to tender his good offices in that di-
rection.
The furnaces in the Demler Tin
Plate mill at MckeaspCrt were going
all day and the Whole plant is lighted
again tonight. Maehinists and roll
turner's are working inside. No at
has been made to unload new
or start the plant, but strikers
claim they have positive proof that

ing new men will be taken into the
mill through the tunnel. A barge
load Of coal was unloaded today and
the mill is now well stocked with
raw material.

Party of coIored Men Thought to Be
Strike Breakers.

ET A 90 10
Pittsburg, Aug. 22-An omnibus
crowded with negroes, AZ in number,
created a great deal of excitement
tonight on it's journey from the Bait
Simore & Ohio depot to the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburg station in. Al
Eleghany. Shortly after the trip be-
gan between the depots the report
was started that the men were strike
breakers and a large crowd followed
them jeering and hooting.
A stop was made and four of the
negroes alighted. Before they, could
get back the vehicle started and they
had to walk across the bridge. A
crowd Of probably 200 men followed
them and when about midway across
attacked them.
The negroes were roughly handled
but none Of them seriously hurt. When
their destination was learned it was
discovered that they yer being ship
ped to Clearield, Pa, from Elkins,
w. Va. tosdo some railroad work and
were in no way implicated as strike
breakers. The crowd was composed
OF toughs and not strikers.
