Pittsburg, July S0.-Disappointmen
and apprehension pervade the air of
Pittsburg tonight because of the fall

Tin Workers to ratify the peace pro-
posals arranged at the conference in
New York last Saturday between the
national officers of the Amalgamated
Association and Messrs. Morgan,
Schwab and Gray, representing the
United States Steel Corporation. When
the conference opened this morning IL
was confidently expected that the
agreement would be reached in a short
time, but after a session lasting from
$3.50 a. m. until $50 p. m. the meeting
adjourned without arriving al any con-
clusion so far as known, to meet again
tomorrow morning.
The protracted session indicates that
the board is not satisfied with the pro-
visions of the compromise measures.

Another rock of dissension is said to

THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE.
Alabama Convention Adopts 1t After
bitter DenuncintiOn by State DEM
Ocratic Chairman.

Montgomery, Ala, July S0.-The Con-
stitutional Convention to-day adopted
section four of the suffrage article,
which includes the grandfather
clause" and other qualifications for the
electorate, but not until Mr.. Lowe of
Jefferson, who is chairman of the State
Democratic Committee. had made
sensational speech, denouncing the
whole scheme. The amendment of ex-
Gov. Oates to exclude deserters and
sons of deserters from the benefits of
the grandfather clause was under con-
sideration when Mr.. Lowe arose TO
point of personal privilege and
began to repudiate the charge
that he had assailed the
black belt counties of Alabama. He
declared that he stood with Senators
Pettus and Morgan, against the suf-
frage plan, and that no delegate Of the
convention, not even the president
would ever occupy the seats of these
two distinguished Alabamians. He
stated deliberately that il was plainly
evident that the purpose of the COM
mittee was to perpetuate fraud in Ala
bama, Notwithstanding the chairman OF
the committee, Mr.. Coleman, had worn
the ermine of the state. He said the
people of Alabama are in open revolt
against the plan of the majority, and
reminded the majority of the conven-
ton that II would need the delegates

SHREWD PARIS SWINDLERS.
They Work In Fake Race Horses
and Grow Rich Robbing Swell
Young Men.


Young Men.
Paris, July 30.-The police here have
unearthed a gang of turf swindlers
and card sharpers whose operations
were characterized by extraordinary
audacity. The first discovery was made
at the end of May. when horse named
Colimacon (fhe SnaiD and known as
a worthless platter won the race at
Colonies easily, with the betting IL
to l against the horse. A week later
Colimacon engaged in similar per-
formance at Maisons- -Laffitte. The
jockey club investigated the running of
Colimacon and found that a first-class
English horse had been substituted for
the original Colimacon by Belgian
named Hereboudt, who had previously
been warned off the French race
courses.
The police then took the matter up
and discovered that Hereboudt was
the head of a perfect Organization of
crooks working in France and Bel
gium. A majority of the members OF
the gang had assumed high sounding
titles and frequented fast circles and
clubs. One member. a brother of
well-known Abyssinian explorer, who
STYLED himself Count" was arrested.
Two others were self-styled barons,
and one had given himself the title
of prince. They occupied sumptuous
apartments in the Champs Elysees and
Madeline quarters, to which they In
yeigled gilded youths and swindled
them at baccarat. The losses of Prince
Karageoggovitch and four other young
men of good families, who complained
to the police, alone amount to 100000
francs. The swindlers owned a yacht
called the Westermine, on board of
which their dupes were invited, and
were subsequently plucked. The po-
lice also traced to the gang the promo
ton of a number of fictitious mining
and coal companies. The Investigations
of the police led to the flight of the
swindlers.I Several of them have gone
to Abyssinia. Hereboudt sailed for
Holland on board the Westermine. The
revelations have caused a. sensation in
clubland and sporting circles.

Cited to Bar of Commons.
London, July S0.-The printer and
publisher of the Daily Mail of this city
had a narrow escape to-day from be-

the House of Commons on Thursday
next as the result of observations made
in connection with the war secretarys
(Mr. Brodericks) boycott of that news
paper on account of its South African

stir the matter up he said that he
thought it was not necessary to press
the motion. Mr.. MacNeill, however, in
sisted and the motion was carried with
out a division.
Mr.. MacNeill then moved that the
printer and publisher be ordered to ap-
pear at the bar of the House to-mor-

MURDER MOST FOUL.
Two Young Men Assnssinated by
Rand of Thieves on virginia Line.


Rand of Thieves on Virginia Line.
Roanoke, Va, July S0.-The dead
bodies of John Tolley and Charles Ber-
ry were found yesterday in the coun-
ty road between Pocahontas, Va, and
Cooper's, w. va. They had been muir
dered and robbed. Toley had been in
charge of some railroad construction
work at Coopers for some time past.
Berry arrived there last week. The
two murdered men were cousins and
hailed from Tennessee. They went to
Pocahontas late Saturday night, where
they spent Sunday. When they start
ed for Cooper's yesterday morning, it
is alleged they were followed by Mary
Graham and Bob Niddiffer. When Tol-
ly and Berry had gotten a short dis
tance across the state line into West
Virginia they were fired upon from be
hind. Tolly was shot through the back
of the head and Berry, who was sup
posed to have turned when the first
shot was fired, was shot through the
side of the head, just above the ear.
Both are supposed to have been killed
instantly. Tolly was shot twice. one
of the shots no doubt being fired after
he had fallen, as his face was powder
burned.
Mary Graham and Bob Niddiffer
were arrested and lodged in Jail at
Bluefeld. The coroner's inquest devel-
oped facts which implicated Pete Span
gler, George Nelson. George Graham
and Jack Martin, all four of whom
were arrested and placed in Jail. Mary
Graham and Bob Niddiffer claim that
Spangler and Nelson did the killing.
George Graham and Jack Martin are
held as witnesses. Mary Graham is
the mother of George Graham. All the
parties are white. Tolly leaves
widow and five children. Berry was
20 years of age. Niddiffer claims to
be a cousin to Berry.
The motive for the killing is believed
to have been robbery, but it is also
stated that the men fell out over a
woman.
