LINGO DEMONSTRATION.
Freedom of City of London Given tc
 Lord Milner of Capetown.

Freedom of City of London Given to
 Lord AIilner of Capetown.
 London, July 23.-The presentation of the freedom of the city of London to Lord Milner of Cape Town at the Guildhall to-day was made the occa- sion of another jingo demonstration i'll favor of the war in South Africa and the policy of the government.
 Joseph Chamberlain. the colonial sec retary; the duke of Devonshire, presi- dent of the council, and other cabinet ministers; Lord Cromer, British con sul general in Egypt, and Sir Claude McDonald, former British minister to China, were among those on the plat form.
 Lord Milner in a speech, said the compromising of the settlement of the South African situation by injudicious concessions must not be thought of, nor should the risk of popular rising be run by treating deliberate and crime-stained treason as yenial of | fence.
 The speaker said there was an inn mense difference between the stout old burghers of the late republics and the rowing ruffians," narrowing their fel- low British subjects at Cape Colony. While it was resolved to treat the old burghers, when the war was over, with fairness and even generosity, convinc- ing them that though they had lost in- dependence they had not lost their freedom, cort' nued Lord Milner, the loyalists in South Africa, who had shown such splendid devotion to the empire and the work of re-construc- tion already going on, should not be alienated. By the bold development of resources and an incorruptible govern ment it was hoped. his Iordship con- | cluded, soon to relieve Great Britain of what had been willed the 'sobsss- sion" of South Africa.

PITTSBURC STRIKE
Wellsville Men Gets a Few of
 Its Men Back.
NOT ENOUGH TO START WHEELS

Youngstown Mill to Be Fitted for Rail
 Rolling Again = President Shaffer
 Says He is Satisfied with the Out.
 look.
 Pittsburg. Pa, July 23 The strike situation presents practically no new phrases this morning. and it appears now as if the contending forces are set- ting down to protracted struggle.
 While the company at the Wellsville mill received the accession of a few men from the ranks of the strikers yes- terday, the number is not yet large enough to justify the mill in starting up i'll full. The Amalgamated men are keeping a constant watch upon the mill and at the railroad stations for any new men the company may bring in.
 At the DeweeS-W Wood mill in Me- Keesport, everything is as before 1t is said the management have no in- tention of resuming the operation of the plant at present. Nevertheless the
 
 front, and strangers are asked to show Who they are, and how it happened they are in McKeesport
 At Vadergrift and Duncansyille the men appear to be entirely satisfied and work is going on there as usual. All the efforts of the Amalgamated asso- clation to get the men out have so far been futile.
 Reports are received that the United States Steel corporation will shortly make an effort to start up Painters mill of the American Steel Hoop com> pany in this city.
 The effect of the report caused the men to throw out few picket guards this morning for the purpose of report- ing any action on the part of the man@ agement.
 At the Clark mill in this city everys thing tends to prove the statement of Manager Brown that no men will be hired until the strike is settled. The strikers are keeping away from the plant.
 At the Lindsay and McKutcheon mill Alleghany the plant is closed down save for the few laborers who are cleaning up. Many of the strikers have gone to work in other districts
 One of the most significant develop ments of the strike is the order from l the officials of the National Steel com pany, to have the former rail mill oS that company in Youngstown. fitted for rail rolling again. The mill was orr 1 iginally a rail mill but early in the I present year it's product was turned | ipto cbont yhaFc and hi1Tofr l | This fact is taken as an indication that the officials of the United States Steel corporation are anticipating no early settlement of the present strike. | At the Amalgamated headquarters | the officials had nothing new to report | this morning. President Shaffer said | the situation was unchanged and that he was well satisfied with the outlook

STEAMER ON FIRE.

Victoria, B. C., July 23.-The mas ter of the steamer Nell, which has ar- rived here, reports that ten days ago, when he was waiting for the tide to enter creek below Port Simpson, he watched large two-masted passenger steamer, seemingly an American yes sel. which was evidently on fire. For three-quarters of an hour she lay still off Dundas Island with a. great cloud of smoke above her spars and her hull hidden in a pail of steam which looked as though water was being put on the fire. Then she ran towards Dundas Island, as though the officers were run hing her ashore. The Nell's officers watched her for long time until the smoke obliterated their vision, and when it cleared the steamer. was gone

GOT THE WRONG MAN.
"Brad' Webster Wanted to Give the
 Umpire a Roast.

The mystery that enyelops the daily press has become deeper than ever to Bradford Webster, son of the late Sen atOr Daniel Webster, and at present in charge of Prosecuting Agent Pierce S office. There was a time when MT Webster thought he knew all about the daily press, but alas for that time.
 Alfew days ago Deputy Judge Peas lev and B. R. Kelsey played a set of games of tennis on the |. NJ. c. A. grounds. Brad" as he is familiarity called, was umpire until Kelsey thought he was counting unfairly. Thereupon .Brad'' resigned at request and Attorney Harry Minor was ap- pointed in his stead. Now Brad" thought he was the fairest umpire that ever happened. and he left the tennis ground full of wrath and desires for speedy revenge. He determined to l see his newspaper friends and have Kelsey done up to the kings taste. He accordingly telephoned his favor 1 ite newspaper for his favorite friend, and was told the friend was out but would be delighted to call upon MT Webster at his" office. Meanwhile Kelsey heard of young Webster's in- tentions and called him on the tele- phone, pretending he was Brad's news paper friend.
 'sSay,' said Brad q want you to roast Kelsey to the taste of sala- mander. He's no good, see? He can't reckon tennis for anybody and I want you to give him the best roasting a man ever got. Will you do it
 '.Will I do it?' asked Kelsey Say, Brad, you know I'd do anything for you don't you?'
 T know that, Bill" said Brad And say" went on Kelsey's dis guised voice, .sI'll write that fellow up so that his own mother won't know him. Did you hear that he had an idea of running for mayor against Blakes- lee this fall?, The nerve of him'' Oh" said Brad, "only for his nerve where'd he be? Mind you don't forget the roast. Say that Judge Cowell said only for his red hair there'd be more rain this summer, and that's what is causing all the lightning. Say he can't play tennis for little bit. Don't for get''
 T won't forget That's all.'' That's all. Good byes And .sgood bye" came over the wire in response. Brad" wondered next morning why the roast did not appear, and he is still wondering.

ILL WANT TIE TROLLEY
Hearing on the Question Before
 Judge Roraback To-Day.

Watertown in Town Meeting Tester
 day Voted in Favor of the Extension
 Well Known Attorneys Looking
 After Interests of the Town and the
 Connecticut Railway and Lighting
 Company.
 The district court room was pretty full this forenoon with parties interest ed in the extension of the lolley sys tenn between the towns of Ansonla and Seymour and Waterbury and Water town. Judge Roraback of the superi- or court was unable to hold the hearing in the superior court room proper it being all topsy turvy with tradesmen making alterations. The hearing was not to decide upon the question whe- ther or not the trolley system shall be extended between the communities mentioned but only upon the questie n of necessity of establishing such con- munication between. The Connecticut Railway and Lighting company was represented by Allen ". Paige, the town of Waterbury by Attorney Car mody, Watertown was not represented it having voted yesterday at town meeting fayorably upon the matter. The ether towns, AnsOnia and Sey- mOur were not represented legally, there being scores of witnesses on hand to testify to the necessity of estab ish- ing electric communication between each other.
 The first witness called in favor of I0 of of 6n mo l1stin ia and Seymour was Senator Franklin Burton, who was chairman of the con- mittee of railroads in the last general assembly. He said that every interest, particularly banking and court busi- ness demanded that an electric trolley be built between the towns. s. k. Gull yer, representative from Seymour tes- tified in the same vein. Cfv.1 Engin- ger $. c. Smith of this city testified also. This closed the hearing on this petition, and that relating to local exi- gencies was taken up. H. B. Mattoon, senator from Watertown told of the action of the town meeting in that place yesterday, saying that only two out of about two hundred voters voted against the petition. Erastus D. Bar low presented a petition bearing about two hundred signatures favorable to the proposition. Judge Cowell of the district court was the last witness. He told of the convenience such facilities as trolley road would supply would be to the people of Watertown, and that vicinity particularly when court is in session This closed the herring and both petitions were approved and signed by Judge Roraback. It is said that when the question of a layout for the road comes up, the Consolidated Railroad company will oppose the mat 1 ter upon the legal ground held down by the statutes that a trolley road shall not parallel steam road.

HAPPY WATERBuRY.

Waterbury is to be blessed with an- other paper, the Morning News, the first number of which will appear about August 1, with c. A. Sawdey as publisher.

However, Sawdeys friends say he has a faculty for SUD- plying the long felt wants along with his ventures, and the people of Water bury may yet wonder how they ever managed to get along without the Morning News.-New Haven Palla- dium.
