sHAFFRR READY FOR PEACE.
Strike Leader Willing to Accept Terms
offered Before Trouble Regarded
by Tin Plate Corporation,

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 2s.-Practically
the only significant event in the strike
yesterday was the positive stand
taken by the American Tin Plate COM
Pany In reference to its course in the
future. An official statement from
this company denies that there are
any negotiations on foot looking to
a settlement of the strike and au-
thOrized the statement that mills put
into operation during the strike Will
be continued nOn-uniOn and all men
going to work now viii be retained in
their positions. This statement viii
have its effect because of the fact
that the tin plate trade has always
been considered as among the strong
holds of the Amalgamated and the
def appears to have been brought
about by the association declaring
strike against the tin plate company
after the scale for the year had been
signed.
1t was learned last night that Presi-
dent Shaffer has sent out letters to all
members of the executive committee
of the AmaIgamated association in
viting their approval of the peace
plan agreed upon last Saturday by
the representatives of the National
Civic federation and the Amalgamated
association headquarters officials.

KNIGHTS TBMPLARs Parade.
At Louisville Tuesday over 10000 Were
In Line-Order Now Has 1850
Members.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 2s.-A parade
of 10000 Plumed knights marching to
the music of threescore brass bands,
Tuesday marked the formal opening
Of the twenty-eighth triennial con-
clave Of the grand encampment Of the
Knights Templars. Nearly 100, 900 Wis
itors are in the city. The day dawned
bright and clear and the sir knights
were early astir. The weather was,
In fact, a fulfllment of the wish ex-
pressed in a message Of regret from
Rear Admiral Schley, who is a Knight
Templar, as follows: ''Nay fair wealth
er and bright skies favor the grand
ceremonies this week. Ny -disaPPOint-
ment no words can describe, but my
heart is with you The parade was
magnificent spectacle Of life and color.
Mile after mile of tossing plumes and
futtering pennOns, and band after
band discOursing stirring marches
held the crowd of spectators damned
against the wires till the last knight
left the ranks.
The business session OF the con-
clave began imm ediately after the pa
rade. The report Of Grand Master
Reuben H. Lloyd, submitted to the
grand encampment, contained the
following:
The order is in a most satisfactory and
healthy condition, and steadily growing
The present term which began July j,
1899, commenced with 114,540 members
and closed with IL, los. Since our last
session, a formal treaty Of peace has
been entered into between the United
States and Spain. By 90 days Of actual
warfare, over 10000, 900 Of people Occu-
pying more than $4,000 square miles OF
the earth'S surface, were freed from Op-
preston. Where 1t was dangerous to be
a mason, our order may now securely
spread its humanizing and elevating in
fiuences. The schoolhouse and the lodge
can labor together to brush aside ignO-
rance and superstition, and teach the
dOwn-trOdden people the blessings Of
civil and religious liberty. We should
indeed feel prOud-as we dO-that a Tenn

about this happy change to many human

gradually enlarging. Our labOrs are but
commencing. We must press onward IN

WITHOUT A WHIMPER
Negro Went to the Stake for Most
Revolving Crime.
Procession Three Miles Long Fol-

War on Negroes.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. Ellen
~ NOles, a negro who criminaIly as
saulted and then killed Mrs. Charles
Williams, wife of a prominent farmer
near Winchester, Tenn, was captured
at Water Tank, near Cowan, Tenn.
He was taken to Winchester by his
eaptors and placed In the county Jail.
An angry mob gathered and the sher-
if and several prominent citizens
pleaded that the law take its course.
The officers agreed to have court sum-
moned at once to try the negro. But
the mob would not be thwarted, the
sheriff was overpOwered and the ne
gro taken to the scene of his crime,
u miles away, followed by a process
sion three miles long. The negro
was placed on stump and in a short
speech he confessed the crime. He
was then chained to a tree, his body
saturated with coal oil and the torch
applied. Fence rails were pitched
about the burning body and soon life
was extinct. The negro made no out
cry at any time and died as stOlidly as
a stole. At least 5000 people wit
messed the horrible fate of the negro.
Warned to Leave sapuIpa.
Sapulpa, I. T., Aug. 25.-The citizens
committee met last night and decided
that all negroes not of Creek blood
must leave Sapulpa by three o'clock
Monday afternoon. Notices to this
effect were posted around town. It
is said the committee is determined
and will enforce order. Negroes are
meeting in groups on the streets dis
cUssing the order and viii probably re-
sist. A local banker has taken their
side and says he will see them
through. The committee order is the
result of rush of negroes from other
towns and two assaults by negroes in
the last two weeks.
To Drive Black Men from stroud.
Stroud, Ok, Aug. ga mob of
about p Stroud citizens was organ
lied Sunday night for the purpose
of Kidding the town of its colored pop
ulation. The mob visited the various
tents and houses occupied by the ne
groes and drove the 20 terror-stricken
blacks from town. Several shots were
fred for the purpose of terrifying
the exiles, but no attempt was made
to injure them. To discourage the
negroes return, their tents and per-
sonal effects were destroyed and the
houses overturned.

Washington, Aug. 26-The division
has received a copy OF the annual re-
port Of Prof. Atkinson, the general
superintendent Of public instruction
for the Philippines, which covers the
time from the enactment Of the Phil
ippine school law to the close Of the
last fiscal year, June 80, 1901. The
school law mentioned authorized the
appointment from the United States
Of 1000 school-teachers, of whom
Prof. Atkinson SAYS Isl had beer ap-
pointed, either absolutely or pro
visiOnally. That there was no scar
city Of material from which to make
the selection Of those appointed di-
rect from Manila is shown by his tes-
timOnials appended, showing that
more than 5000 personal written ap-
plications had been filed. Four hun
dred and eighty-seyen soldier apPh-
cants for positions as teachers have
entered the examinations prescribed,
of which 20 passed satisfactorily and
were assigned to schools.
Prof. Atkinson says the great pres
ent need is that of adequate and suit
able school buildings The education
of girls has not been thought as i'm
pOrtant as that of boys. Wherever
a school for boys is established it
viii be the policy to establish one
for girls, either in a building near the
boys or under the same roof as the
boys school, but separate, with its
own entries and playground.
