GENERAL STRIKE SEEMS CERTAIN
Pittsburg. April 17.-At the meeting Of
the national advisory board and vice
presidents of the algamated associa-
tion of iron and steel workers this morn
ing. there was full attendance of the
national officers and trustees who make
up the board and among the vice presi-
dents We're David Rees Of Pittsburg,
first district; Walter Larkfn of Martins
Ferry, O., second district; Charles H.
Davis of Newport, KY. third district,
and Glenn Jarvis of Anderson, Ind, fifth
district.
The meeting was held at the national
headquarters on Fourth avenue in this
city and while large number of prom
leaders of the strike were at the head
quarters no one was admitted to the
meeting room but the members of the
board and the vice presidents.
Previous to the meeting a canvass of
the members developed strong in
dividual disposition to grant President
Shaffer the power to call out the EN-
ployes of the other mills, although no
one would venture to predict what the
decision Of the board would be-
General Manager Smith and Secretary
John Jarrett of the American Sheet
Steel company were invited to be pres
ent but Mr.. Smith did not attend. Secre-
tary Jarret was on hand and consumed
time in placing before the members of
ton his company has taken in the fight
now on.
President Shaffer stated that he would
if possible go to McKeespOrt after the
meeting to advise the men now on strike
and counsel them to be mild in their
acts. No action had been taken by the
board up to 1890 p. m. It was stated
that they were waiting on one of the
vice presidents who had not arrived, but
was expected during the afternoon. 1t
was the general impression that strike
would be ordered but that the decision
would not be reached until late this af-
ternoon. This seemed assured unless
concessions are made on both sides.
The combine, it is said will be asked
to vacate the position it has taken in
the matter, or else the strike will be
declared Around the amalgamated
headquarters a general air of expectancy
prevailed. Men of all crafts We're drop
ping in at all times and eagerly in
quiring as to what the prospects for a
strike were. They seem to realize that
once the struggle is precipitated, its ef-
fects must of necessity be far reaching5
concerning them all.

GETTING TOGETHER.
Deal For the Danish West indies is
Near Completion.

Copenhagen, April 1.-THE govern
ment is earnestly considering the recent
somewhat modified proposal with regard
to the sale to the United States OF the
Danish West Indies which is considered
to lead to a satisfactory termination OF
the negotiations Official circles are of
the opinion that the two governments
are nov nearer an agreement than they
have been at any previous time. The
Danish government ridicules the reiter-
ated reports published in English papers
that peremptory communications re-
garding the sale Of teh islands have been
received from the United States; and
the officials are much impressed with
the cordiality and friendliness that the
United States government has shown
throughout the negotiations.

TerroriZe the Town.
LONDON, January 30.-The West In
dian troops stationed at the island of
st. Helena, where Gen. Cronje and a
large number of Beers are held pris-
oners, mutined January 2nd, raided the
town, terrOriZed the inhabitants, in
Jured many of them, defied their OIL
GERS and were only finally Subdued
when faced by the mules of rifles. The
censor suppressed the news, but the As
sociated Press has received the story
by mail. The trouble began with a
row on the night of January list be-
tween some blue jackets and a party
of the West Indians. On the following
night the vest Indians broke out of
the barracks and raided the town with
clubs and razor tied to sticks. They
ran amuck, cutting and beating wo-
men, children and men indiscriminate-
ly and attacked the Sailors Rest, tear
ing out the doors and windows. All
the efforts of the officers to suppress
the mutiny were futile. When ordered
to the camp they refused to obey and
threatened to dynamite the town. A
strong naval force was landed, the
available troops were collected and the
streets were paraded and guarded all
night long. At daybreak the troops
were drawn up with loaded rifles in
front of the place where the West In
dams were barricaded. The latter were
ordered to surrender and were notified
that if they did not do so they would
be fired upon. The mutineers were fin
ally cowed and were taken to the camp
under guard until a troopship arrives
to remove them.
