STRIKE TO CONTINUE
UNTIL THE BITTER END

New York, Aug. 3.-The steel strike
conference held here yesterday failed
to arrive at an agreement. The pro-
posals made by ]. P. Morgan and
Charles NJ. Schwab, through Presi-
dent Shaffer and Secretary Williams of
the Amalgamated association, one
week ago, We're still open, but the strik-
ers' representatives refused to accept
them and have left the city, one of
them stating that there will be no fur
ther conference unless the steel corpor-
alton asks for it.
The first conference Of the day was
between President Shaffer and twelve
of his associates on the executive board
Of the Amalgamated association, and q
group of officials of the United States
Steel Corporation, headed by ]. T. Nor
gan and President C. NJ. Schwab. At
the end Of an hour the conference part
ed, having failed to reach an agree
ment.
The second conference was partici-
pated in only by the officials of the
Amalgamated association. 1t was a
secret session, lasting over two hours.
If there are no further efforts at con-
ciliation and the strike Is extended, It
may develop into the largest conflict of
the kind in the history Of the country.
Figures at this time as to the number
of men and properties that would be
involved are pronounced unreliable by
conservative men who know the trade.
because many Of the claims Of
strength put forward on either side
are disputed and can be tested only in
actual conflict.
What the great steel strike has done
and what it may do, are shown at q
glance by the following figures, AZ Civ
en- by the New York Herald:
Number of men now out $4,000.
Number of men who may be Idle to-
morrow, 10000.
Loss in wages to the men up to date,
SO, 5000 Loss to the companies up
to date, $5.12O,O00 Total loss up to
date, $8,926,O00.
Men on strike In steel hoop, sheet
steel and tin plate mills, 1900. Other
men rendered idle, 5000. Men In Ma
tlonal Tube Company who may be af-
fected. 10000. Men In Federal Steel
Company who may be affected. 1900.

One OF the great packing houses of
Chicago has prohibited profanity upon
its premises. The primary purpose OF
the order was in itself excellent. name
ly, to protect employees against abuse
by swearing foremen or overseers; but
it cannot fail also to exercise good
influence over all those who work for
the company, especially the younger
men. In commenting on the order the
Chicago Post truthfully says: "It is one
of the better signs OF the times that
in these days the men at the head OF
affairs are presumed to be, II not
Christians, at any rate gentlemen.
They find ways enough Of making
their wishes Ineligible and effective
without resort to bluster or swagger
or the indecsncies of blasphemy."

According TO a paragraph which has
been going the rounds Of the French
newspapers, VI. Wa!deck-Rousseau-
the French premier-has all mis- dogs
vaccinated to prevent them from hav-
ing distempcr. and has never lost one
from that disease. Jenner. who intro
duced vaccination. proposed that all
the dogs in England should be treated
in this manner but was laughed at
for suggesting 1t.

Would Abolish Indian Agencies.

If the ideas of Indian Commissioner
Jones could be followed out explicitly,
and under practically the same corps
Of officials as are now on his stan, it Is
claimed that within ten years the In
dian reservation would be thing OF
tie past, and Indian civilization would
become fixed certainty. Commission
er Jones, like most of the officials of
the Indian Bureau, believe that the
reservation system is one of the great
est dra wbacks to the advancement of
the younger generation of Indians, and
consequently he is making every effort
to break up the agencies in every part
Of the United States.
The idea along which he is working
is to educate the young Indian so that
they will become self-supporting.
When they have acquired this knowl-
edge, they should be forced to make
practical application of it. The best
way to do this is to allot to each Indian
a certain tract of land, which shall be
his own, and which, under no circum-
stances he shall be allowed to sell OF
lease. AT the same time the govern.
ment will of course suspend payments
or annuities to the Indians, and they
will be forced to live by their own la
Dor and their own skill.
In many instances this very thing
has been done, and is now being done
on the Kiowa. Comanche and Apache
lands in Oklahoma. But In the past
an error has been made in allowing In.
dians to take contiguous allotments.
1t is thought the best results along the
lines of civilization would be obtained
by giving the Indians every alternate
quarter section, so that white men will
take up the intervening tracts. In this
way the Indians will be surrounded on
every side by white neighbors, will alb
sorb the ideas of the whites, learn their
language. and in every way be deprived
of continuous association with other
Indians.
One fact seems to be generally under
stood in regard to the education Of the
Indians, and that Is that as long as
they are given school education, but
are allowed to go back to the reserva-
ton and associate with uneducated
members OF their tribe. they will grad
ully, but surely, go back to their old
ideas, and their education will have
been wasted.
From the white mans point Of view,
there Is an incentive for making allOt-
mentS of land to the Indians. and open
ing the residue to settlers. 1t is claim
ed that no Indian has need of more
than 160 acres of land, and that all
lands in excess Of this amount for each
Indian on n reservation, Is n waste.
Under the allotment system the white
men will be allowed to go In and make
some practical use of this vast area of
Indian land. 1T Is true much Of the
reservation land is arid, but the ingress
of white settlers will be followed by
the construction Of irrigating bitches.
and In this way, rs well. Indians will
be benefited by cooperation.
Wherever 1t is possible the Indian
bureau is abolishing the Indian agen-
cies. and placing school superintend-
ents in charge. thus making education
paramount. This is the first step to-
wards the final allotment Of the lands
and the breaking Of reservations.

at Madrid in full state, was received
with unbounded enthusiasm. Unlike
his Austrian mother, whose aversion

appeared to follow the Corrida with
the most keen interest and satisfaction,
thereby showing himself true Span

known as "sangre torera," that Is to

particularly sanguinary, eight bulls

The most spectacular and thorough
ly western of all the features of the
Quarto-C Centennial celebration was on
Saturday morning, being the cowboys
tournament. The tournament was
held in front of the big double grand
stand on Cascade avenue. 1t was typ
ical of life on the big ranches. 1t
brought out the cowpuncher in all of
his picturesqueness. 1t, too, attracted
the largest crowd of tourists of any of
the celebrations, as it was all new to
the people from the East, although,
probably, 1t was familiar to the people
of Colorado.
1t was a thoroughly cowboy enter
tAinment, consisting Of bucking bron-
chos, racing and other features Of
every cowman's day. The boys from
the plains and mesas, too, entered into
1t with all the dash and vim and vigor
for which they are justly famous.
The scene from the grandstand was
one of picturesque delight. The pictur-
esque cowboys and rough riders, the
traditional Indian in all his war paint
and feathers, and the tough, rugged
bronchos of the advance agents Of CIV
ilization, formed a striking contrast to
the dashing steeds and correct uni
forms Of the officers in charge Of the
tournament, as well as the representa-
tive men and women Of the latter day
generation, assembled In the grand
stand, on the grounds. and wherever .
bit of space was obtainable.
The first event was tent pegging,
won by Joe Williams.
Harvey Mauck won first prize, $50,
in broncho busting" feature. His an
imal was what Bill Nye would have
termed "a low browed brute without
breeding" 1t had all the characterIs-
tics Of mustang; evil tempered, wick
ed, treacherous. Harry Brown was
awarded second prize, $40.
Bert Ireland, a nineteen-year-old boy,
was awarded a special prize Of SO for
his horsemanship in the line Of bron-
cho "busting."
There were thirty cowboys in the con-
test, and each demonstrated himself
an adept in the saddle. In addition to
the broncho busting there was an ex-
hibition Of lariat throwing and roping
a horse.
