ALL QUIET AT PITTSBURG.
Negotiations May BE ReOpened and
the Strike Settled.

Pittsburg, July 2.-The second day of the
strike of the sheet steel and steel hoop
workers of the Amalgamated Association
opened without interesting or exciting
features. 1t was evident that neither side
anticipated early developments, as there
was no unusual activity about the com
bine offices and the utmost quiet pre-
vailed at the headquarters of the workers.
As President Shaffer remarked, the condi-
tions of the present strike were peculiar
ard no decided results were expected for
ten days or two weeks. BY that time the
manufacturers having all necessary re-
pairs at their mills completed would be
anxious to resume operations. The strug
gle would then begin in earnest.
The belief is quite general, however.
that the real test will not come unti!
the close of the hot weather and the
general resumption Of business In the
early fall and in the meantime it is
thought that the conflicting interests will
see their way clear to recede from the
present positions. That President Shaffer
of the Amalgamated Association is pre-
pairing for the rainy day which may come
IL the strike is prolonged indefinitely,
Is evident from the circular mailed to
the association lodges to-day. The cir
cular directs the lodges lay assessments
upon their members, the money to be
used for the relief of such members of
the association as might be out of work.
The money collected by these assessments
of the lodges will be forwarded to Pitts
turg, where 1t will be placed in the ger
eral fund of the association. The lat
ter has for years been creating strike e
fund systematically and methodically.
The fund is said now to amount to be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
The combine officials do not appear to
be worrying over the situation, and say
they do not recognize a condition of "A
strike as yet. Some of the officers inti-
mate that there may be a renewal of ne
gotiations at any time, and settlement
effected. In outside circles the belief is
growing that the strike will be called off
before 1t gets fairly well under way.
The Trust Cuts Prices.
The announcement to-day that the sheet
combination had cut prices occasioned
surprise, as II is known that all the mills
have been busy and many orders untitled.
The heaviest cut is on No. rs, the stand
ard guage which is reduced from 1895
per 100 pounds to $3.10, The lighter
gauges have been cut In price from 81 to
So ton. The move puzzles the Amalga-
mated officials, and President Shaffer said
1t had been done merely for the purpose
OF having an effect on the independent
sheet manufacturers who have signed our
scale"

London, July "A dispatch from Pekin
says:
The installation by Russia of a civil
administration in New Chwang, Manchu-
ria, has again made prominent the ques-
tion of occupation of that province by the
Russians Some of the Powers have al
ready recognized the administrator, but
the ministers of other nations are doubt
full as TO the course to be followed in the
matter and are awaiting instructions from
their home governments. Among those
thus awaiting awaiting Instructions is the
representative of the United States. 1t is

tute an effectual barrier to Russian ag-
gression and to avoid trade and other
complications that are otherwise bound
to follow a Russian occupation. The mat
ter has not yet been presented to the

The following notice has been posted on
the doors:
Il have closed and taken possession of
this bank.
''F. D. Kilburn,
Superintendent of Banks"
The Niagara Bank was organized Sept.
10, 1891. 1t had a capital of 100000. The
officers are:
President, P. H. Griffin; vice president.
M. M. Darke; cashier William T. Hayes.
Inc chairman of the Clearing House
Committee, S. NJ. Clement said this
mornings
1T should be distinctly understood
that the closing of the Niagara Bank to-
day has been brought about solely by
reason of its close oonnevion with the
City National Bank, its president having
been vice president of the City National
Bank, and that no other national bank
here is any way affected.
AT the meeting of the Clearing House
Committee Yesterday at the close of the
days business, the Niagara Bank was
the only bank that applied for any as
sistance, and arrangements were made
to give the assistance asked for pend
ing the report this morning by the bank
ing department as to the solvency of the
bank.
Mr.. Knburn. the superintendent of
banks, on his arrival in town this morn
ing became satisfied that the bank could
not get through with the assistance, ask
ed for and accordingly directed that the
bank be closed in order to best protect
all interested"
The bank superintendent was seen in
the Niagara Bank and asked why the
bank was closed. He said
II have closed this bank because think
it insolvent. The main reason for the
failure is the failure of the City National
Bank. This bank is involved in that to
an extent not yet to be announced, but
l do not deem it safe TO permit this one
to continue business any longer. AS to
whether this bank has been in trouble
heretofore l have nothing to say"
The MIX in the COcoanut.
The Commercial says:
superintendent Kilburn of the state
banking department, found among other
things that the bank was carrying the
paper in concerns in which it's president
p H. Griffin, was interested. to the extent
Of $4,000 That fact might not have
been considered in any way fatal to the
solvency of the institution if the City Ma
tional Bank had not failed.
THE City National Bank, according to
a statement made this morning, had
loaned different concerns in which P. H
Griffin was interested amounts to the ex-
tent of $500 O0O"
