Strike Declared Off But News Not
 Given Out From Headquarters.
 Pittsburg, Sept 16.-There was no general resumption of work i'll the steel mills here to-day. With the ex- ception of the McKeesport the mills in this district are operating about the same as last week. Amalgamated headquarters were crowded this morn- ing with the committees of the local unions and out-of-town organizations anxious to learn the terms of the seta tlement of the strike. There has been no official notice sent out that the strike has been declared off, and much indig- nation was expressed because of the announcement that President Shaffer would explain to each committee sep arately the results of the New York conference. President Shaffer was in- accessible and the other officers re- fused to give out any information At NIcKeesport a general rejoicing took place now that the strike was at an end. Five thousand men applied for work, but only 150 could be accom- modated to-day.

DEEDS OF NEW PARKS.
Will Probably be Presented to Alder
 men Tonight.

It is understood that the deeds of the park to be presented to the city by the Singletons, Camps and Ras- mussens will be received by the alder men tonight. It took q long time to get them in shape, but 1t was better to wait and have them right than go ahead before the transfer could be made in a satisfactory manner. The land is situated on the south side of town plot and extends almost to Platts Mills. Very likely some action will be taken at the meeting tonight, too, regarding the death of President Me Kinley. Sbme cities in the state have decided to send committee to the funeral, but whether Waterbury will pass such a resolution or not no one seems to know at this time, though, many think it would be proper move and it is certain that the public would appreciate such course in case the aldermen should think favorably of it.

Root, clerk of the court, and Attorneys Burpee and Kel- logg, who were counsel for the city at and since the time of the sale. De ciSion was reserved.

 DAY OF THE FUNERAL.
Movement 10 Close Schools and Busi-
 ness Places.

HUSS E
 There is movement on foot to have all the places of business and the pub lie schools close on the day the funeral of the president takes place. If this is to be done it is hoped that it will be general. It would be but a small tribute of respect to the memory of the martyred president and it is about the only way we can give public ex- pression to our feelings as com munity it might be well to close all places of industry and hold services in the churches while the funeral is being held.

SENATOR DEPEW'S PLAN.
Stop the European Anarchists From
 Landing On Our Shores.


 New York, Sept 16.-Senator Depews discussing the problem of what is to be done to suppress the growth of anarchy is quoted as saying: We must begin at the fountain head and stop the reservoir of European anarchy pouring into our country. Such certi- fication of immigrants must be had as will establish proper environment and association abroad before they pass our immigrant inspectors. Supple menting this, there should be under proper safeguards the power lodged somewhere to expel known enemies of our laws and country. Legislation should also be adopted that will take attempts upon the life of the president which fail, out of the category of mere assaults and make such crimes ade- Quately punishable.Y

POLITICAL POINTS.
Ex-Postmaster Fitzpatrick De-
 fines His Position.
TOP OR NOTHING.

Is Out For Mayoralty Nomination, aud
 If He Can't Get That He Will Be
 One of The Rank and File-Head-
 quarters ill Holohan Block Now
 Open-Town Plot People Want To
 Hear Candidates Talk.
 The week before the primaries finds politics warming uD to such a state that the friends of the candidates are be- ginning to throw mud. and to tell of deals here and there. A reporter of the Democrat ran across Candidate Fitzpatrick to-day and quizzed nm about his chances. The ex-postmaster says that he is ill the race to the finish. He is out for the mayoralty nomlna- tion and nothing else. 1t is the head of the ticket or nothing for him. He is not conducting his canvas by run ming for the first position on the ticket, and then taking last place. He has entered into no deals. he says, nor does he intend to, nor does he claim to own any wards or bunch of delegates. If the delegates favor him with their votes, he will be grateful, and when they get ready to switch off to some other candidate if they see his chances growing less, they are at liberty to do so. He is alone in the fight, having no side partner, and when the convention settles upon a candidate. whether it is Fitzpatrick, Kilduff or Hayes he will be found on deck with his coat off and his sleeves rolled up working for the election of the favored one. It is a fair fight, he says, in which every voter has the right to participate. and may the best man win. Of course, added the captain, I hope to be the best man on this occasion.

COMMENT ON HAY'S SPEECH.
Various Opinions, Mostly All Favor
 able, by London Papers.

London, Nov. 21.--The speech of Sec retary Hay Tuesday night at the an- nual banquet of the Chamber of Con- merce has aroused keen discussion in the London papers. "No foreigner need take exception, says the Standard, Ito MT. Hayes vindication of the policy of the United Sta tes. On the part of Eng land at any rate this definition of his country's ideals will be received with cordial approval and unmixed satisfac- tion."
 With regard to the Monroe doctrine the Standard says: "We can see no in- dication that MT Hay will revive the Olney controversy, which has been wisely allowed to drop, or that he will ignore the fact that the British empire is itself great American power. With the other side of the Monroe doctrine we can be in cordial agreement"
 The Daily Chronicle thinks MT. Hays phrases about President Roosevelt be- ing incapable of bullying strong pow CT and the like are peculiar" but it accepts them as pacific assurances. As to taking no part in groups or combina- tions, the Daily Chronicle says Prob leHlS OI lOTelSl pOllCy Setilllol be SOINeu by reassertions of Monroeism. For bet ter or worse the United States have en- tered the old world as factor to be reckoned with; and they will not be able to avoid their share of the old worlds dirty work"
 The Daily News thinks that in his reference to bullying a stronger power MT. Hay must have had in mind MT. Chamberlain speeches regarding Ger many.
 The Times says: "There is nothing in MT. Hays frank and straightforward exposition of the policy of the United States to which Great Britain can take exception, while there is much that shows how and why the United States and Great Britain may work together for common objects in a spirit of friendly agreement"

4 URDER IN MON1ELLLE.
Man Resembling Biondin Kills Farmer
 Who Sheltered Him.

Norwich, Nov 20.-A brutal murder
 in cold blood, following robbery, took place at Butternut Hill, in the town of
 Montville, about two miles from this, about o'clock this evening. Jeremiah Shumway, aged S2, an eccentric farmer of that place, lies dead the vic- tim of tramp whom he had befriend- ed and given shelter.
 Several days ago tramp about thirty years old of good appearance called at the Shumway place and asked for work. The old man has been in the habit of taking in such wanderers and offered to give him shelter if he would do odd jobs about the place. The fellow went to work and was seen about the place by the neighbors, who remarked on his singular resemblance to the picture of Blondin, the Massachusetts murderer
 This afternoon both Shumway and the tramp came to this city The tramp, who it is claimed, drank heavily while in the city, arrived home about 5:30 o'clock and about the same time Shumway came home. Within few minutes the neighbors heard cries pro- ceeding from the Shumway house and were satisfied that there was trouble there. Arming themselves with Win chester rifles and shotguns, several of the men went to the house and after stationing themselves in the road, one of the number rapped at the door. As no answer was received the door was forced open and about this time the tramp ran out of the rear door towards a patch of woods.
 Several of the men and as the fellow fell once in his flight there is a belief that he was hit by bullet. He made good his escape however, going in a west erly direction.
 Upon entering the house they found old man Shumway lying on the kitchen floor with two fearful wounds in his forehead and his nose broken. Near him lay large stick of flrewood cov- cred with his blood and an empty wal let told the story of the robbery. The two wounds in the forehead had frac- tured the skull and death must have been nearly instantaneous.

HOWE & STETSON.

Hart for about fifteen minutes, and their work in handling the kicks of Mcbride was not very encouraging. de- Saulles was especially weak in holding the ball. The Boston papers are count ing on deSaulles going up in the air" Saturday, and from the work yesterday their judgment might be good.
 The work of the varsity on the de- sfense yesterday was encouraging. The ball was given the scrubs on the 'varsi- ty 10-yard line and try as they would they made but little gain through the line. The ball was showed oyer twice in about twenty downs. Ousley, the 1905 player, was at Chadwick's place on the varsity team and his work was beauti- full Mcbride said it was good de- fensive work as he has seen in long time. Ousley stopped about third of the plays himself and had no trouble in breaking the second teams interfer- ence. His running with the ball was also fine, and it is expected that he will be first substitute half-back in the game Saturday. Rafferty and Wander peel were full back and left half back on the varsity and their work was commendable. Johnson was at right in Goss place at left tackle and Met calf played quarterback.
 Captain Gould was in the game yes- terday, but his work was loose.
 Bhe practice this afternoon will be light and to- morrow at 2:30 o'clock the team will leave for Boston.
