New Men Are Rushed Through

Pittsburg, Aug. "A telegram from
Wellsville, o., tonight says:
At the close of the third week of
the strike among the steel workers in
the Wellsville plant of the American
Sheet Steel Company, the steel trust
has the better of the argument. Nine
new men from Scottdale, Pa, were
brought here on the afternoon train
and taken into the mill without hand
being raised or a word of reasoning
used to stop them from enter
ing the mill. The men were
in the parlor car and the
doors were locked at East Liverpool
and the strikers pickets refused per-
mission to enter. The men We're in
charge Of Civil Engineer II. II. Thomp-
son of the steel company. When the
mill was reached the train was stopped
and the men were rushed under the
stockade before the pickets could speak
to them. The addition of these nine
men to the force already at work will
make IL possible for the mill manage

MUCHLY MIXED.
Venezuela and Colombia on the
Verge of Several sxinds of Trouble.

Verge of Several sxinds of Trouble.
Washington. Aug. 2.-The political
situation in the neighboring republics
of Venezuela and Colombia in South
America, and the possibility of war be-
tween these two states, is attracting
considerable attention in diplomatic
circles. Should war actually result the
authorities in each country would not
only have to deal with their foreign en-
emies, but also with their domestic
foes. as each of the countries now has
what practically amounts to a civil war
on its hand. Neitherthe Colombian nor
the Venezuelan legation here has much
direct information, which will throw
additional light upon the situation in
their respective countries and the ca
BILE reports are exceedingly conflicting.
The officials at the Colombian lega-
tion are at a loss to understand the re-
port of President Castro's declaration
OF martial law on the ground that his
country is being invaded by Colombia.
The revolution, headed by DIR. Galvi
ras, who crossed the Venezuelan border
from Colombia, where he had taken
refuge, is said to be in no sense an in
vasion by Colombians. DR.. Galviras be-
longed to the party of Andrade, who
was overthrown by Castro, and it is
stated in diplomatic circles that he is
simply heading rebellion of Venezue-
lans against the latter's authority. No
definite information has been received
here regarding the whereabouts of
Gen. Uribe, who in his turn is heading
a movement against the present gov
eminent in Colombia, from the Vene-

FORMED FLYING WEDGE.
Fifteen Committees Detectives Have
Rough Time in Raiding New York
Pool Room.

New York, Aug. 2.-Robert S. Nc
Lellan, one of the detectives employed
by the Society for the Prevention of
Crime, was attacked and injured in
an alleged poolroom in the rear of 724
Broadway. Mcclellan and another de-
tective were in the room securing evil
dence at the time. The place was
crowded with patrons betting on the
races when the detectives were recog-
nized. Some of the employees and a
number of the patrons formed a flying
wedge and separated the two men.
Mcclellan says he was then assaulted
with a black jack. He drew his re-
volver and fred into the air. This Gre
ated considerable excitement among
the inmates, who made unavailing eff
forts to escape, the doors of the place
being locked. A crowd however, col
lected on Broadway, and reports being
circulated that the agents for the So
ciety for the Prevention of Crime were
being assaulted, Frank Moss, the
president of the organization, was no
titled by telephone. He hurried to the
place with half a dozen of the societys s
officials. The local police officers de-
clining to break in the doors upon
the ground that they were without
warrants, Mr.. Moss ordered the detec-
tives of his society to effect an en-
trance. They succeeded in releasing
Mcclellan and the other detective.
Three men were arrested for COM
plicity in the assault, one of whom
was afterwards released.

CRESCEUS THE KING
THE TRoTTING CHAMPION LOWERS
HIS OWN RECORD.
MILE IN 2:o2 IA YESTERDAY.
ONLY A STIFF WIND PREVENTED
EVEN FASTER TIME.

A Great Crowd of People Journeyed
to the Columbus Driving Park to
See the Magnificent stallion fn
His Game and Successfully Race
Against Time-The Owner and
Driver Overwhelmed with Ova-
tisn.
Columbus, o.. Aug 2.-Cresceus.
champion of the trotting turf. added
more laurels to his fame to-day by
trotting mile in 2:02A. reducing by
half a second his week-old record OF
2:02%. made at Cleveland last Friday.
The first half was trotted in .59%, the
first time that the distance has been
covered in less than one minute by a
trotter. The time by quarters was :2s%.
:59A 1904 and 2:02A. Only a stiff
wind blowly directly up the stretch
kept Cresceus from stepping faster
than 2:02.
More than $4,000 people journeyed to
Driving Park to see the great trotter
in action. 1t was a brilliant assem-
blage and intense enthusiasm for the
horse was manifested.
George Ketcham appeared on the
track with Cresceus a little before 3
o'clock. The horse and driver were roy
ally received and Mr.. Ketcham was
forced to lift his cap as they passed
the stand. The champion logged three
miles slower than three minutes. ana
one in 2:22. An hour later, he came
out again and, after scoring several
times. stepped a mile in 225. Still later
he worked oft for the last time in
2:15h. He evidently had great power
in reserve, and the vast throng wait
ed patiently for the great test. It was
evident that the wind would not In
crease before dark and at $40 o'clock
the stallion was brought out for the
last time.
On the fifth score Ketcham nodded
for the word, but Cresceus was not In
his stride and he pulled up at the first
turn to try 1t again. Down to the wire
he rushed, the runner two lengths be-
hind and this time it was a go. Gamely
facing the breeze, the champion start
ed on his journey, moving with appar-
ent ease, and at his greatest speed. The
runner caught him at the quarter, and
a sigh went up from the breathless
throng, as the time went up, a quarter
of second less than thirty. Now the
wind was at his back, and realizing the
advantage, Ketcham kept him at his
great clip. The half mile pole was pass
cd in 59A seconds. a record never be-
fore attained, and here the second rum
ner caught him up. The three quarter
pole was reached in 1904. Then came
the great trial, for as Cresceus turned
into the stretch the bitter wind beat
him in the face and held him back by
force. For the fraction of a second he
seemed to falter but his drivers voice
encouraged him and on he came. With
indomitable courage he plunged in to-
ward the finish with unweakened
stride, and flashed under the wire n
winner against time.
Enthusiasm broke loose. The crowd
rushed onto the track to greet the
champion and huge wreath of flowers
was hung around his neck. Mr.. Ketch-
am, owner and driver, was carried to
the judges stand, and called on for
speech.

ANOTHER OCTOPUS.
Reported Pooling of VAST Bitumf-
nous Coal Interests.

Reported Pooling of Vast Bitumf-
nous Coal Interests.
New York, Aug. 2.--The Mail and Ex-
press says to-day:
"It was learned to-day that an un-
derwriting syndicate of possibly $780,.
100000 had been formed to finance the
consolidation of the bituminous coal
properties along the Norfolk and Vest
ern, Chesapeake and Ohio and possibly
also the Hooking Valley, Baltimors
and Ohio and other railroads in West
Virginia. Western Pennsylvania and
Ohio.
''The syndicate will include promi-
nent banking interests of this city.
Philadelphia and Baltimore and per-
haps Pittsburg and other Western
cities. Judge T.. H. Gary, chairman of
the United States Steel Corporation. is
understood to be one of the leading
spirits in the deal and this is inter-
preted by some as meaning that the
steel trust will control the output
This, however, is not true. Judge
Gary, it is believed by some, may rep
resent J. p. Morgan & Co.. but this is
not yet certain. The design is to run
the soft coal business in harmony
with the anthracite trade. which Mr..
Morgan, in measure, controls"

THE CRISIS is NEAR
PEACE OR WAR IN STEEL TROUBLE
EXPECTED TODAY.
A CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK.
THE STRICTEsT KIND OF SECRECY
BEING MAINTAINED.

The Combines Only Concession In
Reopening the Conference Is in
the Shape of Demand That
Grounds of Discussion Shall he
Stated beforehand - Negro Labor
Being Imported From the South
for Newburg Mills.
Pittsburg, Aug. 2.-Judging by indi-
cations that are practically facts, peace
or war in the steel troubles will be
announced from New York city to-mor-
row. When the Amalgamated Associa-
ton executive board adjourned this
evening, President Shaffer announced
that another meeting would be held to-
morrow. There will probably be
meeting here tomorrow of a portion
of the board, but the national officers
will be in New York. They left for
that city tonight on the Pennsylvania
Limited at 10 o'clock. The circum-
stances leading up to this unexpected
trip, while not officially made known,
are evident enough to substantiate the
story which follows:
During the day many kilograms were
received at the association conference
rooms, the last coming just before ad-
journment, and it was answered
promptly. This answer was in all prob
ability the announcement to the New
York people that the trip would be
made by the officials tonight carrying
out an arrangement entered into at
Veryl Preston's rooms in the Hotel
Henry, a short time before. AT about
Ais D. m. MessrS. Shaffer, Williams and
Chappelle went to Mr.. Preston's rooms
and were closeted with him for about
that at this meeting Mr.. Preston's
made known the combines only con-
cession in the matter of reopening the
wage conference, where it left off three
weeks ago. This concession was in the
shape of a demand that If a new con-
ference is granted it must be specific
ally stated beforehand what is expect
ed to be accomplished, what ground is
to be covered and what committee are
to participate.
This brings the matter up to the
Amalgamated Association and the
mission of it's high officials to New
York is doubtless to convince the steel
people there that a new conference is
essential to peace and an amicable
settlement of the strike troubles.
The conference to-day was a repe-
tition of yesterday, the strictest kind
Of secrecy being maintained as TO the
happenings inside the room, and the
progress being made had to be guessed
at.
Exciting Time at Mckeesport.
A late dispatch from McKeesport
says:
McKeesport had quite an exciting
time tonight and rumors regarding
the strike situation were rife. 1t is
said the employees of the National
Rolling Mill and the Boston Iron and
Steel Works, both plants of the Nat
ional Tube Company, will be called
out on strike in the morning. If the
two plants are called out the entire
works of the National Tube Company
will be crippled and it is doubtful If
they would be able to turn wheel.
Between 5000 and 10000 men would be
affected.

Southern Iron Centers.
Cleveland, o., Aug. 2.-The big steel
combine is utilizing negro labor to sup
plant it's white workmen in the New
burg mills here. Already a couple of
hundred brawny colored men have

When the negroes arrive they are sent
to the mill where a large dwelling
house is used as a domicile.
Many more negroes, 1T is said, will
be brought here and general emigra-
ton of colored workmen familiar with
the manufacture of iron and steel from
the South is prophesied by a negro
agent of the steel corporation.

The negroes from Alabama and Ten
nessee, according to the same author
ity, see in this strike a glorious oppor-
tunity to improve their condition, and
they are flocking North in large num-
bers.

poration has given authority to its
agents to gather all the negro IRON
workers possible and to center them at
the various points OF the strike.

BOERS STILL STRONG.
Between 1000 and 5000 Rebels in

London. Aug. 3.-The Cape Town cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, in COM
munication dated July II, places the
strength of the Beers in Cape Colony
at between 1000 and 5000 men, almost
all of whom are rebels.
The Daily Mail contrasts this with
the official statement not long ago that
they were only 1000.
1.-THE colonial authorities" the corre-
spondent continues, "have just awak-
ened to the possibility that the last
shot in the war may be fired in Cape
Colony and unless vigorous efforts are
put forth there is nothing to prevent
the Beers holding out another twelve
months"
A communication to the Daily Ex-
press of the same date says that the
Boer plan is to make final stand
south of the Orange river and that they
may hold out for six months.
