DEATH OF MRS. KRUGER.
Believed In Lonoon It May Hasten the
End of the War.

Believed In Lonoon It May Hasten the
End Of the War.
New York, July ga dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
The death of Mrs. Kruger may have
some influence in shortening the war.
Mr.. Kruger himself has been reported
to be exceedingly respondent over the
military operations and the correspond
ence between Reitz and Steyn has JUS
titled his encouragement. His domes-
tic bereavement may cause him to lose
heart for continuing a la peless strug-
gle. His Dutch physicians have been
warning him for months against the
consequences of excitement, since his
heart action is abnormally weak.
The story Is brought by influential
South Africans that General Botha
was strongly disposed to surrender,
but did not consider himself at lib
erty to do so against the Judgment Of
Mr.. Kruger. General Botha has fam
lily to provide for and is without re-
sources. South Africans assert that
he is dependent upon allowances
which Mr.. Kruger has agreed to make
for him If he continues the struggle
so long as possible. There is no prac-
tical method of verifying these ex-
plantations, but this account comes
from South Africans who ought to
know what they are talking about.
The newspapers refer in tones Of
sympathy to the death of Mrs. Kruger.
It is expected that the British army
in South Africa will pay, to her in
death honors which her former posi-
tion would have demanded.

SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Contending Forces In Steel Strike Set
thing Down for Long Struggle.

ting Down for Long Struggle.
Pittsburg, July 24.-The strike sit
uation practically presents no new
phases and it appears now as if the
contending forces are settling down
for a protracted struggle.
While the company at the Wells
vile mill received the accession of a
few men from the ranks of the strik-
ers, the humber is not large enough
to justify the mill in starting Iup in
full. =, In the meantime the Amalga-
mated men are keeping a constant
watch upon the mill and all avenues
that lead to it.
Pfckets have been thrown out along
the streets and at-the railroad stations
so that nothing will escape the vigi-
lance of the strikers if the company
should bring any new men in.
y At Devices Wood mill in McKees-
port everything Is as before. From
unofficial sources, believed to be con-
versant with the company's plan, it is
said the management have no inten-
ton of resuming the operation of the
plant at present. Nevertheless the
strikers are wary and evidently do not
believe this because they continue to
patrol the streets for the purpose of
keeping their eyes on anyone going
towards the mill.
At Vandergrift and Duncanville the
men appear to be entirely satisfied and
work is going on there as usual. All
the efforts of the Amalgamated asso-
citation to get the men out have so far
been futile.
One of the most significant develop
ments of the strike is the order from
the Off cials of the National Steel COM
pany to have the former rail mill of
that company in Youngstown fitted for
rail rolling again. The mill was Or
iginally a rail mill. but during the
early part of the present year, otter
the consolidation had been perfected
between various underlying companies
as the United States Steel corporation,
the Youngstown rail plant was aban-
doned and it's product turned into
sheet bars and billets. ~ &c.
The fact that the National Steel
company is thus preparing to change
its rail production and shut off it's
steel bar and billet production is taken
as an indication shat the officials OF
the United States Steel corporation
are anticipating no early settlement
of the strike, but are rather looking
for some considerable delay in oper.
atfng the mills.
