AS VIEWED. IN PITvTSBURG.
Disposition to Take Hopeful View OF
the Conference

PlTTSBURG, Pa, August 3.-The re-
moval of the seat of negotiations from this
city to New York at the invitation Of Mr..
j. p. Morgan has greatly relieved the
strain upon the public, which the ineffec-
tive deliberations of the executive COM
mittee had produced.
Everybody seems to look upon this last
phase In the pending struggle between the
Amalgamated Association and the United
States Steel Corporation as good omen.
Indeed. many are sanguine enough to ex-
press themselves to the effect that 1t is
really the beginning of the end. These
hopeful deductions are made from the con-
yincing tone contained in the message of
Mr. Morgan inviting the men to New York
city. One thing seems to be certain, and
that Is that the result of today's confer
ence will mean peace or the extension of
the strike to all the constituent companies
of the United States Steel Corporation.
From an authoritative source 1t was
stated that there would either be a set

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION,

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is a bona-fide one
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell it's legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable. and which are. in fact, re-
turned. but nevertheless are In
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
The family circulation of The Star
is many thousands In excess Of any
other Washington paper.

master, 1titzferald's Shortage.
Quite an in9sresfiHg case is that of Henry
Cecil Fitzgensld.-a Englishman. who was
appointed aisaolnnteer paymaster in the
American army during the war with Spain
and served So faithfully and well that when
it came time. for, i6im to leave the service
the War Department gave him an honor
able discharge aid. released his bondsmen
Then a clohd came to obscure his good
record, an auditing official Of the Treasury
Department discovering fincongruities in his
accounts and it was reported that Fitz-
gerald was several Thousand dollars short
in his returns.
An effort was made to locate him, but it
was found that he had sailed from New
York for Paris. Whether he heard Of the
charges against him not. he never re-
turned to face them. and the impression
began to prevail that the government had
been defrauded.
Just this week, however, additional re-
turns of the former paymaster have come
to light which go far toward making up
the apparent deficit. and 1t is believed that
further research will clear him entirely.
Meanwhile Fftzgerald's whereabouts re-
