SsvSnty.fvs Thousand Men Have Walked 0u
From the Various Plants OF the United
States Steel Corporation and More Are
Steadily Joining Thsm-Union Has Stu.
alton Well In Hand.

Pittsburg, July 17.-Reports re-
ceived from all sources connected with
the great strike of the steel workers
today indicate that the members of
the Amalgamated Association have
matters we'll in hand and the strike
order was generally obeyed. Tele-
grams from various points where the
mills OF the American Tinplate Com
pany, the American Steel Hoop Com
pany and the American Sheet Steel
Company are located tell of the shut
ting down of these plants in large
numbers. In many cases the plants
had been shut down by the first strike
order, which affected the sheet steel
and steel hoop companies only. The
order last night brought out all union
plants of the American Tinplate
Company, with the single exception
of the new mill in Monessen, which
is still running.
At the Amalgamated Association
headquarters it is stated that the
figures given out Saturday night re-
garding the number of men who
would be actually idle in the mills of
the three companies have proved cor
rect. This number was placed at
IA, 600 OF the $4,000 men idle, %, =
600 are in Pittsburg, 800 in Allie
ghany and 1,500 in McKeesport.
President Shaffer has it in his power
to close many more Pittsbrug mills,
but it is not thought that he will do
anything of a radical nature until he
is compelled to-
The American Steel Hoop Com
pany's supposedly non-union mill,
was closed this morning in all its
branches. The tie-up at this mill
was said to have been a surprise to
the millowners and officials in charge
of it. The plant known as the Lind
sey & McCutcheon mill in Allegheny
was shut down completely in the
pudding and bar mills. All the
skilled workmen refused to enter the
mill this morning and the company
did not even operate the five furnaces.
The finishing department of the mill
was working during the day, as the
men are not in the union, but it is
claimed by the workers that the en-
ployes in that department will not
go to work in the morning.
While all the mills of the United
States Steel Corporation are included
in the general tie-up, the three COM
panies mentioned are the first to be
attacked. What the next movement
will be the workers do not say. 1t is
announced tonight that the circular
letter which was expected to be sent
out today calling on the men in the
mills of the Federal Steel Company,
the Naional Steel Company and the
National Tube Company toe ONE out

UNION WON BATTLE.
Sixteen japanese Taken Prisoners on Fraser
Flight Between Fish Boats.

Vancouver B. c., July l3.-The
developments in the Fraser river
strike situation during the past "a
hours show the union fishermen have
the upper hand, having accomplished
a coup d'etat which is without par
allel in the history OF the many labor
disturbances in British Columbia. AS
result of battle of small boats out
in the gull battle in which shots
we're exchanged but in which no COM
batant was killed, l6 Japanese were
taken prisoners by the strikers. The
Japanese boats were overturned, the
rifles and fishing gear of the Orientals
thrown into the water, and the Japan
ese themselves taken to one of the
small islands away out in the gulf.
Exactly where this island is located
is a secret of the white fishermen, for
they chose it several weeks ago for oc-
casions such as this. They say they
will continue to place non-union Jap
anese there for the remainder OF the
season, or until the place is discov-
cred by the authorities. All that is
known is that the island is between
here and Nanaimo, 80 miles away,
and that it is hard to find. The Jap
anese will be given food every few
days and maintained comfortably,
although closely guarded until a set
Element is reached or until their
island prison is located by the author
tiles.
Two provincial constables we're out
in japanese boats today and effected
the arrest of six white fishermen.
The japanese held a big meeting at
Steveston and raised by voluntary
subscriptions "a, 600 for a japanese
hospital, which they think may be
needed, and then discussed the salmon
catching situation. Some were in
favor of joining the union men in the
strike especially as the run Of salmon
had been small this season up to date.
The meeting broke up without definite
action.
This evening big run of salmon
is reported as coming in from the
south. The Gamers think the union
men will not stand firm, in view Of
the temptation to participate in their
catching There is renewed talk this
evening of turning out the militia.
Such a severe storm ragged at the
mouth of the Fraser river last night
that the union patrol boats, which
were to have attacked the japanese
fishermen, we're afraid to leave Stew
enston. The japanese kept coming
during the night without fish. Five
japanese are reported to have been
drowned.

able to Locate Fire.

Butte, Mont, July l6.-At 2:4O
this morning still alarm was turned
in from the Butte Hotel, four-story
structure on Broadway. When the
fremen reached the scene the build
ing was enveloped in smoke, which
appeared to pour from every open
window. The fremen were unable
to locate the fire for 80 minutes, and
the greatest confusion prevailed. A
number of guests on the lower floors
succeeded in groping their way down
stairs in the smoke, escaping with
nothing but their night clothes
Scores OF others were rescued from
the upper windows, where the panic
stric ken guests shrieked for succor
and threatened to jump to the side
walk below.
At A o'clock the fire was completely
under control and the hotel manage
ment state that, to the best OF their
knowledge, all the guests and help
have been accounted for. There
were five injured. The loss will
amount to $25, 600.

$500, 900 IN KLONDIKE GOLD.
About 0nc.Third Of Treasure Was Brought
Out by -Four Women.

Seattle, Wash, July 16. - The
steamship Humboldt arrived this
morning from Skagway with 40 pas
sengers and $500, 900 in Klondike
gold. The treasure was distributed
between dozen passengers from Daw-
son and varied in sums from 81, 00(
to $62, 900. These people left the ir
terror subsequent to July A, and bring
news that three of the river steamers
are partly wrecked on the river be-
tween Dawson and White Horse.
The Humboldt left Skagway July9.
A strange feature concerning the
personnel of the Humboldt's Dawson
passengers is the fact that four women
possess about one-third of the treasure
which came out on the steamer.
Purser Shoup reports that consid-
cradle gold has been started down
the river from Dawson and will come
out via st. Michael and the ocean
route. Several large consignmnets
left Dawson after July /, but the
exact amount is not known. 1t will
be brought down on the Roanoke and
several of the other ocean steamers
from Nome.

DYNAMITE CHECKED FLAMES,
-Four Blocks Of Business Houses We're Burned
at Enid

Enid 0. T. July 17.-Four blocks
of business houses on the public
square were destroyed by fire in less
than three hours time by the fire
that started after mmidnight last
night. The water supply was made
quate, and it was necessary to blow
up buildings with dynamite to check
the flames. Owing to the continued
drought, everything burned like match
wood. A light wind blew from the
southeast, and saved the eastern part
of the town. The total loss is esti-
mated at 100000. The insurance
will be light
The fire started in the two story
hotel building near the southeast
corner of the square, and spread quick
ly to the big hardware house ON the
corner, Both buildings, with their
contents, were soon consumed. The
fire bearing south destroyed furni-
ture store, restaurant and hotel. Fol-
lowing this in the path of the flames
was a furniture store, hotel, a butcher
shop in which 81 900 in cash was con
sumed and a carriage works Then
going east it consumed another shop
and three small buildings. Here it
jumped across the street west and de-
stroyed wholesale house and a
hotel The Armour Packing Co. S
big building was destroyed and the
entire block south Of the square The
fremen finally had to blow up several
buildings with dynamite.

COVERING UP WAR MARKS.
Making the Chinese EmpsrOTs Entry Into
Pekin Pleasant.

Pekin, July l6.-The Chinese Off
,ials are making elaborate prepara-
tions tor the emperor's entry into
Pekin. All evidence of the destruc-
tion wrought by the war along the
streets to be travelled by the emperor
will be temporarily disguised. Great
pagodas will be erected. The Chen
Men gate, which was nearly demol-
ished by the bombardment, will be
repaired with wood and plaster,
painted to resemble stones, and the
damage to the walls and outer build
ings will be similarly masked.
Ii Hung Chang has deferred the
withdrawal of the foreign troops

tions in the western hills until their
barracks are completed.

TEXAS DROUGHT BROKEN.
Heavy Rainfall and High Wind at DsnnisOn
Storm Causes Little Damage.

Dennison, Tex, July 1.-THE
worst drought ever experienced in
this section was broken this afternoon
by terrific rainfall of over two hours
duration, the volume of rain being
almost equal to a cloudburst The
storm was accompanied by wind of
almost tornado force. Reports indi-
cate that the rain is general in this
vicinity 1t has come just in the
nick of time to save the cotton crop.
1t will benefit the fruit crop and fur

DEVASTATION IN JAVA.
Seven Hundred Persons Perish.d By SuddcE
Volcanic Eruption

Tacoma, July 17.--Oriental advices
give details of terrible destruction OF
human life that occurred in Northern
Java in May by the sudden and ter
rife coutburst of the volcano Kloet.
For 80 miles around all the coffee
plantations and other estates were
destroyed by showers of ashes and
stones, together with great streams
OF lava and hot mud. Seven hundred
natives and a number of Europeans
perished. The lava also consumed
the superintendent of the estate and
about 25 coolies. Many coffee es-
tates in the neighborhood were de-
stroyed. The country around was
strewn with corpses.
Many protests are being made be-
cause the Russian authorities at Port
Arthur are opening all letters to and
from the American and European
residents there. Nothing is permitted
to be sent out that contains any allu-
sion to Russian military affairs or
criticism of Russian methods.
