with the Amalgam8ted association. that
they sign or recognize the scale OF the
Amale8mated association in all their mills
When the matter was preached the matter
was mptorily refused After the hold

our organization was modified SO as to

association, the representatives OF the
United States Steel companys only argu-
ments were that they did not desire the
Analgamated association to become too
powerful, and that they should hold the
balance OF power. Later conferences were
held with the heads Of the United States
Steel company, who submitted a PROPOSE
tion that we only sign for the mills signed
last year, with the exception of the sheet
mills In Salisbury and Scottdsle, which
were signed for the year previously. Their
proposition was rejected, as Il meant that
the Amalgamated association would mere
~ have to remain in a quieseent state,
while they were expanding and adding to
their nonunion possessions.
They are waging a fight for the ex-
termination Of the Amalgamated assocla-
ton and for the workingmen 10 combine
a principle which they have demonstrated
to the people Of the United States they
desire themselves, and so persistently re-
fuse to grant us. This blow is not alone
directed at the Amalgamated association,
but at organized labor in general, and
should they succeed In defeating the ANAL
gamated association It will affect every
organized labor body In the United States.
ITO succeed in this struggle 1t will be
necessary to seek the aid of every organ
lied body as well as the general public,
whose sympa hies we know are with us
in the present struggle To this end we
ask that you give us your more than finan-
cial aid A liberal response financially win
materially assist us in conducting a vic
torious campaign for a principle which is
the inalienable right OF every American
freeman.
IF you desire to aid the Amalgamated
association In the present struggle finan-
cially, all money should be forwarded to

BattIeship Iowa Selected.

The navy department has now defin-
itely determined to make use of the
battleship Iowa, instead of the Wis
consin. for use on the Pacific side of
the isthmus, in case affairs become Sc
rious there.
The Iowa is the flagship of the Pa
cific station and as such flies the flag
of Rear Admiral Silas Casey. AT last
reports received here The admiral was
on board the Iowa, but ii is hardly
probable that he will proceed further
south than San Francisco.
The gunhoat Machias has reported
her arrival at Norfolk. and will prob
ably sail for Colon at night or Tues

There have been no additional de-
yelopments as to the situation on the
lsthmus of Panama, where the trouble
is far removed from that along the
Venezuelan border. Consul General
Gudger's course in looking after the
interests of the Chinese along the
isthmus is not in pursuance of any spe-
cific instructions from Washington,
but follows procedure established
some II years ago, in connection with
points at which the Chinese were en-
tirely without official representation.

First Taste of Enthusiasm.

She had her first taste of the enthu-
siasm with which she was to be greet
ed when two tugs filed with newspa-
per men and the team pilot boat New
York reached. her anchorage near
Sandy Hook lightship at daylight. The
shippers of the tugs loosed their
whistles and the New York walled a
salute with her siren. The Erin ac-
knowledged the salute with three deep
blasts. 1t was at her anchorage over
looking the field where she is to give
battle in September to the defender of
the cup that the yachting sharps had
their first glimpse of the new chal-
lenger by daylight. The grace and
beauty of the lines of her slender body
were married by her cumbrous- cruis-
ing rig and the litter and confusion on
her deck as her crew were preparing
to weigh anchor. But one glance was
sufficient to convince the experts that
Watson had built much handsomer
boat than the old Shamrock.

HEATING OF COURT HOUSE.
What the Economy Light, Heat and
Power Company Says.

The Economy Light Heat and
Power company. who furnish steam
to the court house, have requested us
10 publish the following facts as to
the scarcity of heat there. They
state that in view Of the conditions at
the court house, it could not be other
wise: that the attention of the county
commissioners was called to the sit
uation about two months ego by the
Economy company, with a view of
perfecting such ARRANGEMENTS as
would assure them an abundance Of
steam for their purposes.
The fact of the matter is that yes
terday, when they complained of lack
OF steam, the steam pressure in the
company's pipes was up to its maxi
mum, so that there was no lack ot
steam upon the company's part. The
difficulty is that the contract was
made for heating the court house be-
fore the third floor was added to the
present building. In addition to this,
the commissioners have installed fan
to ventilate the court house, which re-
uuires. of course, extra steam. To
meet the then requirements of the
court house the three-inch pipe rum
ming from the companys mains on
Washington avenue was sufficient.
In view, however, OF the increased
consumption of steam at the court
house. the present connections leading
from the company's main on WASH
ington avenue will not conduct enough
steam to warm the court house IN
severe and windy weather. In addl-
ton to all this, the radiation in the
court house is not sufficient to coun-
teract the cold air coming in through
the loose windows.
The present arrangement is very un-
satisfactory to the company, and they
do not care TO continue il. Whether or
not the court house ins stalls it's own
plant Is a matter upon which the COM
missioners must exercise their own
Judgment. The company has, how
ever, plenty of steam to heat the
building, and will be glad to furnish
them with 1t, If they see fit to pay
the expense of an additional pipe from
our main on Spruce street or Wash
ington avenue, and pay for the addl-
tional steam. The county commits
sioners were notified OF the above facts
i'm n letter sent December 18th last, in
which the company offered to make
the necessary changes for the. sum of
$3.50

A POOR BREAKFAST.
Very Few People Eat q Good Break
fast.

"All i want for breakfast is a roll
and cup of coffee"
This remark is heard not only in
hotels, restaurants and lunch rooms
but IL Is the usual breakfast order in
the home circle as well. After a
twelve hours fast IL would seem that
the first meal of the day should be n
hearty, substantial one, and II we all
lived natural. unartlficial lives, it
would be so, but none of us do, hence
breakfast is mere pretence.

1T LACKED one VOTE.
CHITTENDEN ORDINANCE FAIL.
ED IN COMMON.
Members Of That Body Believe Reor-
ganization Of Fire Department
Not Necessary Just Now.

The ordinance providing for a re-
organization of the city's fire depart
ment, introduced by Mr.. Chittenden in
the select council some nine mon hs
ago, was defeated in common council
last night on third reading, there be-
ing one vote lacking.
The ordinance was called UP by Mr..
Keller and the discussion upon II
lasted for considerably over half IN
hour. Mr.. Keller vigorously urged its
passage and cEampioned it through
out the entire debate. He admitted
that it was not perfect and that per-
haps il might need a little amending,
but wanted it passed in order that the
system provided might be given a fair
and square trial.
The insurance companies threatened
to put up the rates, he said and it
was absolutely necessary that coun-
ellis do something at once, not only to
prevent this, but to prevent such an
other conhagration as the one which
wrought such sad havoc on Lacka-
wanriL avenue last Thursday.
The opposition to the ordinance was
led by President Calpin, who said
that there could be no more efficient
tire-fighting force than the present
volunteer force. There was too much
"curh-stone criticism" OF the depart
nent, he thought. The failure of the
Gremen 10 check the Lackawannn
avenue blaze was not due TO lack OF
organization, but rather to the lack
of water.
Nlr. Evans, A. l.. Lewis and Mr..
Rush also spoke against the ordinance.
The vote on the final passage was as
follows:
Yeas-McDonald, Alworth, Hagger-
ty, Ruane, Roche, Paine, Naegli, CAL
vim. Gurrei and Keller-l0.
