HANGING BACK.
President Shaffer Is Slow With
His Strike Order.
Trust Construes Hesitation as
Sign of Weakness.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 6.-The general
strike order was not issued by Presi-
dent Shaffer this morning and it may
be delayed beyond the time limit made
by him yesterday. He says there are
sufficient reasons for the delay but the
only apparent cause is said to be the
hope entertained that the officers of the
big steel corporation may soon realize
the serious results that will follow a
general closing of the union plants and
make overtures for peace. The Anal
gamated association, it is explained,
does not want to take hasty action and
proposes to rest quietly for awhile.
From the meagre reports from the
officials of the steel combines they are
not worrying over the delay and seem
to be confident as ever that they will
win They are encouraged over thede-
lay in issuing the strike order and be-
neve it is due to the fact that the Off
GERS Of the workers organization are
not certain Of their ability to bring out
the union men desired. One thing ap-
pears certain and that is that Presi-
dent Shaffer will not call out the men
before the latter part of the week
President Shaffer was at his Office at
o'clock this morning and at once went
to Work It is said that he is preparing
the notices to the different companies
which will state that he intends to call
the men out
These notices viii probably go out to-
day.
No attempt has been made to start
any of the mills in this city now tied
up by the Amalgamated association, but
a rumor is current in the west end to-
day that an effort will be made to start
the Painter mill non-union this week
A number of fires in the mills have
been lighted and while the manage
ment refused to talk there is every in
dication that something in that direc-
ton is being planned. This morning it
was reported that the management
has secured three rollers, one of them
striker. who have agreed to go back.
It is also said that they will get enough
helpers today to start the trio on one
set of rolls A number of the strikers
were seen and they say that they have
heard that the report and believe 1t to
be true.

TO MOURN SIX WEEKS.
Imperial Order Regarding De-
ceased Empress.

Berlin, Aug. "a special edition of
the Reichzanzeiger, published this
morning, contains an imperial order
giving notice of the death of Empress
Frederick and ordering six weeks ma
tional mourning beginning today. The
order also directs that all public amuse-
ments, including concerts and theatri-
cal performances be suspended until
after the funeral.
According to dispatches from Cron-
berg the death agony of the dowager
empress was brief, lasting hardly a
quarter of an hour. When Prof Rem
vers informed Emperor William that
his mothers heart had ceased to beat

his majesty placed white lilies in his
mothers hands.
kilograms are pouring in from all
quarters.
The heads of all foreign states and
the sOvereigns of the German states
have sent messages of coincidence
cOuched in the WarmeSt terms.
The papers comment on the political
side of the dowager empress character
with reserve. The Expost considers it
easily comprehensive that woman of
her ability should seek to influence the
political views of her husband; but,
the paper refrains from criticism since
she avoided all political activity after
Emperor F'rederick's death The Kruez
Zeitung wholly ignores her politics.
The Neuste Nachrichten says she
brought from England political views
which were suitable in a highly de-
veloped, solidly foundationed country
like England but which were out Of
place in a country like Prussia, strug-

San Francisco Companies Trying to
Secure Men in Gotham.

New York, Aug. Representative
of the Union Iron works of San Fran
cisco are in the city to engage machin-
lists, boilermakers and moulders for the
company's employ. These representa-
tives, however. apparently wish the ma
ture of their business to be kept as Sc
cret as possible and viii say nothing
about their movements
It was learned from one of the few
men who answered an advertisement.
says the Tribune. that the company's
representatives had a lot Of contracts,
one of which the applicant for 8 plaae
was obliged to sign The purport of
this contract was that the company
agreed to pay to second class machin-
lists 80 cents an hour for all work done
from the date OF their arrival in San
Francisco It furthermore set forth
that none but sober, industrious men
would be engaged. What seemed the
stumbling block to those who applied
was that the applicant was asked to
deposit a guarantees of S35 to help de-
fray expenses of transportation from
here to San Francisco, this sum to be
refunded to the employee after six
months of faithful service. Several of
the leading labor men among the iron
trades of the city thought it highly i'm
probable that the company could get.

ANOTHER Big BRIDGE.
Plans For Doubling Capacity of
Brooklyn Structure.

New York, Aug. 6.-As a result of the
recent breaks, plans for increasing the
strength and practically doubling the
carrying capacity of the Brooklyn
bridge have been prepared by William
HiIdenbrand. superintendent Of the
John A. Hoebling Sons company. His
idea is to erect another structure above
the one now in use and similar to it.
The work of construction, he says,
could be carried on without interrupt
