knowing this, the public has not been in
clined to enter into a discussion of tech
nlcal points as to whether Schley showed
good or bad judgment in coaling or refus-
Ing to coal at sea; or whether he made
the best possible speed in arriving at the
harbor of Santiago. Schley was recon-
mended for promotion by the secretary
OF the navy, and he was put in command
of the South Atlantic squadron. This, in
the minds of many people, appears like
an official reputation of the inuendoes
and slurs which have been aimed at him.
But the majority of the officers of the
department hold an opinion entirely diff
ferent from that of the public at large.
Whatever the reasons, they appear to
have conceived a violent hatred for
Schley, and they have built up a fabric OF
alleged evidence and framed an indict-
ment based upon it.
There is no secret about the evidence
which will figure in this famous trial.
Practically all of it is now in print in the
form OF a pamphlet containing III pages
with maps, colored charts and the full
text of the telegraphic messages sent and
received by the officers who took part in
the operations. 1t was first printed as a
confidential letter from the secretary OF
the navy to the United States senate, and
moved. This evidence will furnish the
basis of the courts investigation, though
1t may be supplemented by oral testimony
and by some contributions from Admiral
Schley. In fact, it is hoped that the ad-
miral has some trump cards which he has
been holding in reserve. Some evidence
may be sprung by him backing up the
charge that there exists in the department
a conspiracy against him; and as the in
quiry progresses, there may be some ac-
cusations made which are not in the pre-
cept.
There is little doubt that the DEPART
mentor the anti-Schley faction en-
braces almost the entire department-ex-
poets to justify its course by proving the
fifth count in the indictment precept
This is the one which charges Schley with
disobeying the explicit orders of the de-
partment and starting to return to Kew
West for coal. This was the order of May
25. which read:

position of secrecy however and beyond ad-
mitting that a call had been sent out last
night, to all the members Of the executive
board for a meeting to be held in this
city tomorrow morning, refused to give
any information as to the probable set
tlement of the strike. President Shaffer
conveyed the idea that newspaper men
would little longer be following him and
watching his movements. From this 1t is
believed that Mr.. Shaffer is satisfied that
the executive board will agree to the
proposition he will present. With the ap-
proval of his request joint meeting could
be held and settlement effected. The
moment common ground for negotiating
such a question as this one is found 1t Is
believed there will be little difficulty in
getting down to a general agreement
which will bring peace with 1t.
There remains little doubt that officials
of the United States Steel corporation are
now as anxious to have the big strike set
tied as are the strikers. During last
week a number Of contracts intended for
and practically let to mills of the COM
bine were shifted to Independent mills,
with rush clauses attached. Independent
mills have done much business booking or
ders in the last few weeks and they are re-
ported to have been able to make their
own terms. In many cases from 81 to So
per ton above prevailing market rates was
offered by those anxious to have iron and
steel without further delay. Under these
conditions, owners of the independent
mills have bestirred themselves and are
now running twenty-four hours day with
as many men as can be crowded about the
furnaces and rolls. 1t was said yesterday
that the Jones and Laughlin interests had
secured enough orders above the combine
rates to keep them running far into the
fall.

they would be willing to make him a di-

board will probably gladly indorse it.

New York, July 29.-Oficials of the steel
companies here preserve silence as to the
conference on Saturday with the leaders
that the terms Of peace outlined on Sat-
urday will be ratified by the executive
board of the Amalgamated Association at
Pittsburg on Tuesday and that there will
be an early resumption of work. Both
sides are silent as to the terms of the
new pact, but various claims of victory
are being made in behalf of the strikers.
On that point a man interested in the steel
trade said to the Associated Press:

after three rousing cheers went home
The outburst was caused by a movement

Oilers Compromise That the National Executive

Will Probably Indorse.
Association Recedes From Its Demands as to
Unionizing, and the Same Scale of Wages
Will Be Paid in All Mills.

New York, July 29.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan has ended the great strike of the
Amalgamated Association of Steel, Iron
and Tin Workers. 1t may fairly be called
a drawn battle. ended by mutual con-
cessions, though the strikers, disappointed
by the lack of sympathetic support, well
coined the opportunity for a renewal of
negotiations at the point where they had
been broken off.
As announced Saturday, the Amalga-
mated Association will recede from it's
demand that all the sheet steel mills be
put on union basis. The mills that have
not been organized under union rules will
so remain.
On the other hand, the corporation will
agree to pay a specific scale of wages in
all mills, union and nonunion, controlled
by the American Sheet Steel company,
though all nonunion mills shall remain
open alike to men with or without union
cards.
This will be substantially the basis Of
settlement. 1t is the substance of the un-
derstanding reached by Mr. Morgan and
President Shaffer of the AmaIgamated AS
sociation in their conference in this city.

hams returned to Pittsburg yesterday.
When the national executive board Of the
Amalgamated Association, the members of

formally ratified, though some minor de-
tails may yet have to be adjusted with

| This morning there were reported at the
health department an even dozen of new
cases of typhoid fever, Of which seven
were from the east side and the rest from
side station.
Medical Inspectors Leonard and Deziel,
who have charge of the West Side and East
Side sections, respectively, expressed
much surprise as we'll as CONSERVATION at
hits unusual showing for this time of the
year and declared that they could not ac-
count for the situation on any other the
ory than infection from the city water.
Health Commissioner Hall is positive that
this is the explanation, but will at once
institute thorough investigation to set

In March of this year there were eighty

OVER SIX MILLIONS
What the Strike Has Cost Up to
Date.

Pittsburg, July 29. - Pittsburgers gen
orally express the greatest delight in an
ticipation Of the settlement of the steel
strike and no one seems to have the
slightest doubt that the negotiations for
peace will have any other result but a ces-
sation of hostilities, laying-down Of arms
to take up the tools of trade.
So far neither of the contending forces
has suffered greatly. The weather has
been exceedingly hot and the men look
upon last month as a vacation during the
heated term. Working under the severe
strain of the oppressive heat lately would
have been an unusual hardship at best and
the men think that on this account, per-
haps, many lives have been saved by the
strike.
So far as the companies are concerned,
they are also in better position for work
now than they were before the strike.
Many of their mills have been repaired and
the conditions for an increased output are
greatly improved

Turks have no family names. For
example: A man named Mohammed
has 4 son named Ahmed and Il daugh-
ter named Sophia. The son will al
ways be known merely as Ahmed and
the daughter always merely as Sophia,
in the latter case even after marriage.
The result is that members of families
after one or two generations become
lost to each other. In fact, the sis

key. One may be talking to two
brothers or two sisters without the fact

The Gun-making Industry.

AS an Illustration of the magnitude
of the business involved in the pur-
chase by the smaller powers of war
material in Europe, one has only to
look at the number of men employed
at such great plants as the Krupp Of
Germany, the Creusot in France, and
those OF the Armstrong; and Vickers
Sons & Maxim of England. Krupp
employs something like $4,000 men;
the two English firms employ collec-
lively about $4,000 men; and the Creu-
sot plant about 10000 No reckoning
is here made of the famous Loewe
works of Berlin, or OF Italian, Belgian
and numerous French firms. With the
exception of Krupp, the above estab-
lishments ordinarily confine them
selves to filling foreign orders.-Har-

An Extensive Timepiece.

The most expensive clock now in eX-
fstence is one owned by the Rothschno
family. 1t dates from the time of
Louis XVI, and cost S165, 900. There
are many other valuable clocks, some
of them very old and exhibiting SEEM
ingly ineXplicable features. One of
these has on top basin, marked like
a dial and filed with water, ON which
floats a miniature swan of iron The
bill of this swan indicates the hour as
correctly as does the second hand of
an ordinary clock. AS the swan floats
freely in the basin and the basin rests
loosely on the pedestal, the clock great
ly puzzles the uninitiated. Yet the ex-
PLANTATION is simple. The basin rests
on thin copper plate; underneath this
plate the clockwork rotates n magnet
instead of an hour hand, and this mag
net attracts and holds in proper posi-
tion the bill of the iron swan. A
springless clock Is operated by balls
falling on the right side of an overshot
wheel and by their weight rotating
the hands. Whenever ball reaches
the lowermost position it drops
through an aperature in the box at
the bottom and at the same time an
other ball drops from the box on top
of the wheel. From time to time the
balls in the lower drawer have to be
removed by hand to the upper recep-
tacle.

Treasures OF a Countess.

One of the most noted women Of
Europe was the Countess De Castig.
Hone, who died in Paris last year. An
inventory of the valuables left by her
has recently been made. She has five
apartments, one in the Rue Cambon,
two at Batignolles and two in the Rue
Castiglione, for which he paid $500
rent. All these apartments were pack
ed with treasures of every kind. In
the Rue Castiglione there were found
more than so chased silver and gold
nounted fans. These were carried by
the countess at the fetes at the Tuler-
les. One chest was packed full of lace,
another was full of furs. In one of
the trunks there was pawn ticket for
Jewels on which $4,000 had been lent.
One of these was the famous pearl
necklace worn by the deceased, which
was valued at $4,000 One chest was
full of silver plate, and In another was
a massive silver tea service. In the
wardrobes and commodes there were
silk. satin and velvet dresses in large
numbers, and heaps of the finest
French cambric; also of ribbons. Chan
tilly lace, etc. In one basket were %
groups of old Dresden china, wrapped
up in cambric and other linen. In two
trunks there was an incredible number
of Louis Nv sIInshades, with ivory
and gold handles and enriched with
precious stones. The heir of the Com
tesse De Castigffone is Maria Tribone
of Genoa. He is going to Paris for the
sale of her property. which will take
place at the Hotel Drouot shortly.

Now the moment had arrived to
shut off the stream altogether, AMI
every pound of pressure exterted by
the hidden force deep down in the
ground must be borne by the valve

pressure gauge was fitted into the
valve. Then the gate Of the side ori-
flee was graduany closed. Gradually
the pressure rose in the gauge. Pos
sibly something might be wrong with
the gauge. The stream was turned on
again, and a new gauge was substi-

roar was hIshed and silence again
reigned. In 10 days and 10 minutes

work shouted for joy, and Mr.. Lucas
threw his hat in pond Of oil.
The work of closing the well oc-
cupied two days, the beginnins having
been delayed several days to secure

After the we'll had been closed Mr..
Lucas built large iron casing around
the pipe above the earth and filled it
with sand to protect the we'll from
