civic Federation Moves to FIXING
M About n settlement of Strike.
Pittsburg, Aug. 27.-Some remarkapfe
changes In the situation Of the stflke-
ridden mills Of the United States steel
corporation are promised for the pres
ent week that will change the aspect.
of affairs considerably IL carried out. II
was stated on good authority YESTERDAY
that before the end of the week those
Of the plants that have been operating
on single turn would be run with Iuii
force and for the usual three full turns
each day. Men enough have been Sc
cured for this purpose, the officials say,
in spite of the claims of the strikers
that the companies could not get
enough men to operate their plants,
and the managers Of the various mills
say they will be ready with all the
skilled men required to start up the
machinery and turn out a heavy tom
mage. In furtherance Of the peace pro-
gram which Is said to have been IN the
course of preparation for several Gays,
it was given out yesterday by one on
the inside, and one who should know
that the Analgamated executives have
consented to have
Certain Propositions s5E
made to the officials of the United
States Steel corporation through mem
bers Of the conciliatory committee OF
the National Civic Federation, which
proposals are expected to bring about
settlement Of the great strike. Those
interested in the matter We're In walt
ing all day yesterday for word to pro-
coed with the program as outlined at
the conference of Amalgamated execu-
tives and the conciliatory committee or
the Civic Federation last Friday. The
propositions which are to be taken to
New York carry certain concessions by
the Amalgamated officials which 1t is
hoped will pave the way for the re-
opening of direct negotiations between
the association and the company. The
proposition carries much of the terms
under which President Shaffer and his
advisers stand wi1liTHs to settle. What
these terms are and the mode OF their
presentation are carefully guarded Sc
crets. There is the Implication that
they contain concessions Of SUCH i'm
portance that those in interest expect
the corporation to drop its adverse at
titude to reopen negotiations. The pro-
posal contains nothing looking to arbi-
tration. This mode of settlement. was
waived on the advice OF the Civic Fed
Grafton men.

SIX Thousand People Witness the
Horrible Fate Of Negro.
Chattanooga, Tenn. Aug. 27.-- Harry
Noles. the negro who criminally as
saulted and shot to death Mrs. Charles
williams wife of prominent farmer
near winchester, Tenn. last Friday
was captured early yesterday morning
at Water Tank, near Cowan, Tenn. rs
was taken to Winchester by his captors
and placed In the county jail SherllI
Stewart made haste to try to barrlcaae
the jail and protect the prisoner. Soon
an angry mob of several hundred men
gathered but Assistant Attorney Cen
eraI Matt Newhittaker appeared ana
made speech to the crowd. He APP
pealed to them to assist him In allaying
excitement and upholdiEg the majesty
OF the law He promised to reconvene
the grand jury to-day to promptly IN
dict the negro and have him speedily
tried, assuring them that his conviction
and legal execution was foregone con-
clusion This appeal was supplemented
by Judge ]. j. Lynch, Capt. w. r. Toll
ley, Joseph M. Littleton, Foster RAM
sey and others. No sooner had their
appeals been made than several hun-
drad citizens from the neighborhood
where the crime had been committed,
came up and augmented the crowd to
thousands. They swept forward upca
the jail, overpowered the sheriff and
his deputies, took the prisoner and
started for the scene Of the crime,
twelve miles distant, at 1915 a. m. The
mob was orderly but determined. ~
seemed that the whole population Tor
miles around had turned out to see the
Fate Of the wretch.
A procession three miles in length fol-
lowed the mob to the Williams home.
Arriving at a point near the scene OF
the crime the negro was placed on
stump and given chance to make e
statement. He mounted the stump
stolidly, and laughed as he began his
statement He said:
Tell all my sisters and brothers TO
meet me in glory. am going to make
that my home Tell my mother to meet
me where parting will be no more.
He was then asked il any one else
was implicated in the crime.
Noles stated emphatically that there
was no one else implicated but him
self.
E@s why uiet YOU Kill Az .. "
he was asked.
II just done it because had nothing
else to do" he said.
He finished his statement at l:30 p.
m. He was taken from the stump, car
ried to tree near by, bound with
chains and his body saturated with Oil.
At lao a match was applied and In
stantly the quivering body was envel-
oped in flames. Fence rails We're
pitched about the burning body and
soon life was extinct. The negro made
no outcry at any time and died as
stoiidly as stole. There were no dis
orderly scenes about the burning body.
AT least 5000 people witnessed the hor-
rible fate Of the negro. Many remained
until nightfall, augmenting the blaze
until the body was entirely consumed.
They then departed for their homes
quietly.

Some amusing letters find their way
into the government archives. One
federal officeholder recently made an
appeal for screens for the building
where he worked, saying that within
a hundred yards were three livery sta
bles, one mule boarding house, one
horse sanitarium with operating table,
and one fish morgue. He added that
his handwriting had been spoiled by
the constant endeavor to write and
keep off flies at the same time. He
had pasted ten sheets of sticky fly
paper, and while they carried OH thou
sands of victims they seemed to occa-
sion no vacancies in the ranks OF the
survivors. The pathetic appeal was
in vain. uncle Sam is rich enough
to give us all' screens, but he Is too
hard-hearted to do 1t.

Paris. Aug. 25-The French people
are wild with delight over the coming
visit of the imperial Russian couple
Cabinet ministers are wildly cheered
whenever they appear In public But
there is another side to the picture.
The police, who have begun to dee
wise measures to insure the safety or
the Russian sovereigns during their
sojourn, have already succeeded in get
ting mixed up with the sharp claws
of the league of the rights OF man,
which proposes to fight the police at
every turn wherever they Interfere
with tie sacred claims of individual
liberty The leagues cause for COM
plant is as follows: Among the large
Russian colony in Paris there are 300
Nihilists, mostly quiet, peaceable stu
dents at the sorbonne, none Of whom
is known to have committed any act Of
violence in the carrying out Of the
IDEAS Nevertheless the prefecture OF
police issued an order
Forbidding These NihiIists
from leaving their houses during the
presence Of Gear Nicholas in France.
This order is accompanied by the
warning that if they are found on the.
streets they will be dealt with sum-
marily. The league intends to prevent
such a travesty on Justice by any
means in its power and will go, II nee
essary, even to the forming of a cohort
to protect the Nihilists while on the
streets. 885S5
The president Of the league Of the
rights of man said: 1T looks as il the
shameful and humiliating ignomies'
perpetrated during the cars visit in
1896 are to be repeated. If SO, I warn
the police that the imperial sojourn
instead Of a triumph may prove
scandal. This society condemns all
kinds Of violence. but particularly Off
cial violence The Russian students
shall not be immured if we can prevent
it."
