MEET NEXT TIME
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Effort to Have Epworth League
 Meet Here.
USUALLY 50,0OO VISITORS
Committee Appointed to Have Next Biennial Convention Meet Here. Special Train From Birming-
 ham to San Francisco.

An effort will be made to have the In- ternational Epworth League meet in this city in 19O3 and to that end committee has been appointed to take the matter up consists of W. E. Urquhart, Escar Floyd and Dr. B. A. Wilson.
 This committe is working on a plan to have a solid train load of Birmingham people go to the convention which will be held in San Francisco, Cal. in July in the interest of bringing the next biennial convention to this city The Birmingham
 District Epworth League and all of the
 local leagues have endorsed the sugges-
 tion and adopted resolutions urging the
 international convention to come to this
 city.
 It is the intention of the committee, If arrangements can be made, to secure train to be run through from Birmingham to San Francisco on which the Birming-
 ham people will travel Banners, flags and streamers with Birmingham printed upon them in large letters are to be strung
 along the sides of the car so that the
 people along the road will know where they are from. This will be a splendid advertisement for the greatest industrial city in the South.
 Many Epworth Leaguers Here. The Birmingham district has greater number of Epworth Leaguers than any other district in the South, and this will be urged as one of the very best reasons for the international convention coming here. It is the custom of the Internation- al League to alternate between the North and the South, holding one convention in the North and the next in the South.
 The people of Birmingham will not be
 asked to contribute anything towards se-
 curing this convention, the trip to Call
 fornia being made at the expense of the
 persons going and the delegates and visi-
 tors to the international convention pay
 ing their own way while at the conven-
 tion. About 50,0OO visitors usually attend these conventions.
 The Birmingham District League meets in Bessemer today and the committee on arrangements will make partial report as to the success they have had in their work

REPORTED PLAN To OUTwIT THE ANAL
GAMATED ASSOCIATION.

II was reported in we'll informed quarters yes
terday that the United states Steel Corporation
had made certain advances to the managers OF
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and
allied industries in the South by which all the
Southern iron and steel works would come
under the control Of the United States Steel
Corporation. While the report mentioned could
not he verified in official quarters in Wall Street
II vas said on excellent authority that neGotia-
tions had been under for the last year for
the purchase by the big Steel Trust OF the ZEN

II was learned last night that leading inter
as,s in the United states Steel Corporation had
been IN conference with the banking powers in
wall Street behind the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Companv. but the result OF the conference was
not made known
A fav months ago the United states Steel
Cornoration submitted certain proposals to the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. and the ne
rottations were under way at the time OF the
first outbreak on the part OF the Amalsamated
Associatton against the Steel Corporation.
II the trust can secure the various iron and
steel works in the South the Amalgamated As

of IT'S present efforts TO tie up the steel and iron
Industry Of the country. The idea of the
called labor leaders is to eonfine their efforts TO

The Tennessee Coal and Iron Company Is un-

this city. and, according to latest reports, there
is NO chance OF a sympathetic strike among the
employees. The resources OF the tennessee CoaI

will take advantage OF the present opportunity

TO BE DISMANTLED.
STEEL CORPORATION WILL REMOVE
THE Rig DEVICES WOOD MILL
FROM M'KEESPORT TO THE
KISKIMINETAS.

Pittsburg, Aug 9-The United States
Steel Corporation made a decisive move to-day
in the strike campaign by issuing peremptory
order directing that the great Devices Wood
plant at McKeesport be dismantIed and removed

The official announcement came towad the
close Of the day, and it's Importance was such
that it demanded the serious consideration of the
men on both sides of the great Industrial con
hict Persifer F. Smith, district manager for the
American Sheet Steel Company, made the an
nouncement in the following brief statement:

the American Sheet Steel Company TO tear down

port and remove the same 10 Kiskiminetas Val

The publication of the order was a great sur
prise. and McKeesport at first received il with
doubt. Actual preparations were made later I'm
the day to dismantIe the mill. and there is little
doubt that il will he torn down and taken apart
piece by piece. The strikers heard the order in
a spirit Of defiance. They said that 1t showed
that the steel corporation was convinced that it
could not reopen the plant in the face Of the
opposition Of the Amalgamatcd Association.
Strike leaders said the order bluff. which
had been unsuccessful before. and declined 20
take IL seriously. President Shaner, after read
ing the order. declined To talk about il. Il have
nothing say about the order to dismantle IN
Devices Wood plant" all he would say
The steel officials declined to give any reason
for the order but IL is openly said here that the
strong sympathy OF the citizens and city officials
of McKeesport with the strikers is responsible
for It.
IL is also said that the plant OF the National
Tube Company. at MCKeesport, will be aban-
dGned and the old Carnegie plan for a tube

INVASION AN ACT OF WAR.
WHAT Is SAID N WASHINGTON ABOUT THE
NEsTs FROM VENEZUELA

Washington Aug 9-The situation IN Colon

condition Of affairs which might mean war be-
tween Colombia and Venezuela, complicated 10y
revolutionary outbreaks in both countries
During the day the State Department received
a rather long mail communication from Consul
General Gudgel, at Panama. and, though this
was dated nearly month ago. II told Of the
landing OF a revolutionary expedition. and ex-
pressed the current belief held at Panama that
this would be followed by other expeditions

the Panama Railroad. confirming his oommuni-
cation Of yesterday relative TO the roune on
the isthmus. and stating that the superin-
tendent of the road had advised MIN as 10 the
depredations Of an insurgent bard which did

The more serious aspect OF the matter was
presented in the press dispatches from Willem-
stad. stating that the Colombians again had
invaded Venezuela There was no ofncial con-
frmation as to this but II IT should prove true
there seems little cnance Of avoiding an open
conflict between these two countries, as such
