Neither Side Aggressive at Present..
Sensational Rumors Are clrouIated

Pittsburg, Aug. 22.-President Theo-
dore J. Shaffer Of the Amaigamated
Association said that he had we'll de-
fined plans to bring the great strike
to q close. This Is to be done by
bringing about such crisis in the Diff
ferences between the steel corpora
ton and the Amalgamated Association
as will force q settlement Just how
all this Is to be accomplished Is a
mystery, but it will not be by arbitra-
ton or litigation. In answer to ques-
tons about the numerous stories 60
ing the rounds of mediation or arbt-
tration, Mr.. Shaffer dismissed all by
saying:
I'VE have not heard from the other
side; we have not placed anything
before them and I know Of nobody
acting for either side or any side"
E. The steel strike underwent no
change during the day. There was no
extension of the strike and the steel
managers did not attempt to start any
more mills. The fires were lighted In
the Demmler Tin Plate works at Nc
Keesport. but the machinery was not
started and no attempt was made to
operate it. It is believed. however
that the move is preliminary to star:
with non-union men. The managers
Of the company have been preparing
for several days to reopen a number
of their properties and 1t is thought
that they have decided to act at once.
A Day Of Exciting Rumors.
On the streets it was q day Of ex-
citing rumors, beginning with a. cir
cumstantial story Of . plot to destroy
the Monongahels Tin Plate plant and
ending with i tale 81 the removal 81
the largest plants Of the United States
Steel corporation to England. Be.
tween the two rumor again settled the
strike in several ways. However, OFF,
cial denial was given to all these in
teresting stories.
John Sternsdrof. rougher from
Richmond, Va, who claimed that he
was a member of the party Of strike
breakers brought to Monesseh on Sun.
day. was at strike headquarters. He
said that the facts had been entirely
misrepresented to him and that he
had slipped out of the works the first
time chance presented itself. He
placed the number of men now in the
mill at 10 and said very little work
was being accomplished.
Assistant Secretary Tighe of the
Amalgamated Association said that be
was still Of the opinion that most Of
the men In the South Chicago mills
would be out before the end OF the
week. President Shaffer said that the
strike would be won by the strikers.
He believed that when he started the
strike and he still believed It.

At3 o'clock this afternoon the fol :
lowing was received from the Asso-
ciated Press:
President Mckinley is still on the
border land of the great beyond.
Hope still exists that he may live
but his physicians and friends adj
NIT thst his condition is so critical
that the chances are about even eth
er way.
His heart is affected and his col
lapse resulted from the weakness of
that organ.
Heroic remedies are being EN-
ployed and if it is possible to tide
the patient over the day the pros
poets for his recovery will be bright
er.
At this time there is no telling
when collapse will come that would
mark the end.
A slight improvement is noticea
BILE since early this morning but
this is attributed to the stimulants
used and not to any improveme mt in
his condition.

BRIDGE STREET, SOUTH MORGAN
TowN-~The streets are still rising
and reports from up streets points are
TO The effect that good stage Of mud
and water is assured for all winter.
Two strange men were seen lowering
in this vicinity this morning They
were arrested and stated that they
had been hired to work on the street
paving. No one believed such an un-
likely story and they were run out Of
town. 1t Is thought that they were
anarchists and were trying to stir up
the citizens of this side to insurrec-
ton against the city OF Morgantown.
BEECHURsT AvENUE--Archaeo
gists have discovered huge stones "

thoroughfare aud declare that from
almost obliterated traditions handed
down from father to son III this neigh

no attention Is being paid TO them.
WHARF STREET--An air ship Is
being constructed at Wharton's plan

Wharf street which has been iInpassa-
BILE to ordinary vehicles for the past
year. The people who have been
forced to travel along the street ON
foot have provided themselves with
diving suits to prevent drowning ON
sudden dimensions into deep channels
which exist and which have not been
accurately charted by the govern

work on 1t for some months,
CLAY STREET-A trial of the sub

However the spectators declare them

would be taken by the council to
hurry the street paving along In time
for the Fourth OF July parade next
