Madison. July "a.

Madison. July a.
Burr w. Jones for governor of Wis
'consin. That is the latest in Wiscon-
sin democratic politics.
1t leaked out here yesterday that
there has been a quiet conference
among some of the leading demo
Gratis of the state with a view to bring
ing out former Congressman Burr w.
Jones of this city as the democratic
candidate for governor at the next
state election. Mr.. Jones is in Europe
at present. but it is understood that
he has said to certain leaders that,
while he did not care to make any
active canvas for the honor yet, he
would accept the nomination If it
were rendered to him. It was to
start strong but quiet undercurrent
for Jones that the conference was
held. The Jones men say they are OF
the get-together element of the party
and feel that in the Madison man they
have found the only democrat in the
state on whom the entire party can
unite. They argue that he is strong
with the gold wing of the party be-
cause he bolted Bryan in 1896. and
that he enjoys the absolute confidence
of the silver men because he not only
voted for but took the stump for the
Nebraskan at the last national cleo
ton.
The Jones boom, though handled
strictly on the quiet, it is said, has al
ready made considerable Roadway and
that in most of the principal cities of
the state there is little coterie of
friends and enthusiasts who are work
ing up sentiment for him. In La
Crosse, J. J. Hogan is said to be the
leader of the Jones movement and in
Ashland Thomas Bardon and ]. J. Nc
Geehan are reported to be working
for the Madison man.
Ex-senator VIM. F. Villas and Geo.
w. Bird. when interviewed. both adj
mitted that the conference had been
held but would not discuss the matter
at length. Col. Villas said that he is
a good friend Of Mr. Jones and would
like to see him get anything that's
good.

N-UNIONISM
Is ENDORSED
SPEECHES AND RESOLUTIONS IN
ITS FAVOR.
EXPRESSED BY WORKERS
But at Big Gathering at McKeesport
Opposite Action Is Taken-Other-
wise Situation Regarding Great
Strike Remains Unchanged-Many
Mills Still Running.

Pittsburg, July 21-The first week
of the steel strike ended yesterday in
this district with two big meetings,
one endorsing non-unionism, the other
condemning it. The first was held at
Vandergrift in the afternoon where
the sentiment of the workers of Van
dergrift, Leechburg, Apollo and Salts
burg plants of the American Sheet
Steel compny was expressed in
speeches and resolutions. More than
1900 men attended the gathering
Speeches were made by prominent
mill workers endorsing non-unionism
and declaring loyalty to the company
When the speechmaking concluded,
the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
whereas, there is, at present
trouble existing between the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers and the American Sheet
Steel compny, which has arisen by
reason of said association demanding
that all non-union mills be organized
into union, which demand we do not
endorse, therefore, be it
Resolved, that we hereby express
loyalty to the managers of the Amer
lean Sheet Steel company. During
the years we have worked for the
said company we received only the
fairest treatment at their hands; our
wages have been entirely satisfac-
tory. We ask to be permitted to work
non-union, as we have been doing
since 1893. We feel no labor union
can make our condition any better or
more honorable than it is at present,
since we are subject to no one mans
debating"
The meeting at McKeesport was d.
ametrically opposite to the Wander
grift gathering in it's object and
action. 1t was held in Whites opera
house under the auspices of the Anal
gamated association and was adj
dressed by several prominent officials
of the association, principal among
whom was President Shaffer. The
hall was crowded to the doors and
much enthusiasm evinced.
Shaffer counseled the men to re-
main away from saloons and claimed
if the men remained loyal the strike
would soon be won. Great cheering
followed the conclusion of his re-
marks.
Manufacturers claim to be well sat
isfied with developments of the week
&C there ara still in ODeratiOn non
union mills at Vandergrift, Chester,
Duncansville, Old Meadow, Salisbury,
Scottda1e, and the tin plate Mill at
Monessen. All these mills, they say,
have large capacity and are running
full.

BALDHEADED FLIES IN JERSEY
Horses Wear OveralIs to Protect Legs
From Insects.

Poagtown, NJ j., July 24.-There
are no flies on the farmers of Hunter
don county, New Jersey. But this IS
only because they are doing their
reaping and farm work in the fields at
night, in order to rid themselves of
the irritating insects. j.
The little pests are known as bald
headed flies" They breed in the
fields and prey upon all kinds of stock
and dogs. The insects prove a great
source of trouble from the middle of
June until fall.
They are much in appearance like
the common fly, except that they are
not so black, and their wings do not
lie along their backs, but run out at
more of an angle. The flies play
havoc with the stock. They will
gather on the side of the animal in a
place where he cannot reach them
with either head or tail, and there
hold on and suck the blood. A patch
Of flies as large as a mans hand on
the side of horse is not uncommon.

TO ENJO|N
STRIKERS
TITS SAID PAPERS ARE BEING
PREPARED WITH THAT END
IN VIEW.

Pittsburg, July 24.-It is asserted ON
good authority that papers are being
prepared by Persifer F. Smith, dis
trict manager for the American Steel
Sheet company, to go into the United
States superior court today for the
purpose of securing an injunction
against the strikers and prevent them
from interfering with the operation Of
the company's plants, wherever stu
ated. Additional rumOrs are in circu-
lation that a carload of men will be
run into Wellsville today to supple
ment the force now at work. The lat
ter story had not been verified up to
midnight. Outside of these incidents,
the actual strike status is unchanged.
According to strike leaders. officials
of the Wellsville mill are apparently
seeking to bring on an open conflict
in order to invoke the aid of the
sheriffs, deputies and if possible the
militia.
Reports from McKeesport are of q
quieting nature and no exciting Incl
dents are looked for at present at that
point. Much interest is centering n
the situation at Monessen. 1t is report

day because Of their too close friend

Washington, July 24.-Washington
Post telegraphed Admiral Schley that
in an editorial it insisted he owed It
to himself as well as to his friends 10
begin proceedings against Maclay,
the author of the history OF the Unit.
ed States navy, to disproye the lat
ters charge adding: ''Will you do
this? Please wire statement.
Yesterday it received the following
telegram:
Great Neck, L. l.. Editor Washing
ton Post: l believe the first step
should be to- investigate the matter by
a court, then civil action afterwards.
| am preparing to take this course.
(Signed) w. S. Schley."
The Post this morning, as the result
of extensive inquiries based upon the
admiraPs dispatch, will say in part:
admiral Schley proposes to ask
an investigation at the hands OF the
naval court of inquiry and then sue
the historian. Maclay, for libel. His
action is the sequel to developments
during the past week, when the en-
tire country has been stirred by a
publication of unexampled abuse
poured out upon him in the third
volume E. S. Maclay's history OF the
United States navy, in which publlca-
ton Schley is said to have run away
and is, in addition, denounced as a
coward, cur and traitor.
The Schley court of inquiry will
undoubtedly be one of the most cele-
brated cases in the naval or military
history of the country. The high
rank of offices involved in the contro-
versy and the intense public feeling
which has been aroused will combine
to give to the investigation dramatic
interest. The appointment of court
of inquiry is expected to be made by
Secretary Long, though it will be in
the power of the president to make
the selections if he chose.
Schley's letter asking for the ap-
pointment of court will be addressed
to Long, who is his immediate chief.
Long has already stated that if Schley
requested a court of inquiry he would
grant his request and has also ex-
pressed his willingness to personally
select the court. While he has not
made any statement as to it's person
mel there is every reason to believe
he favors Admiral Dewey and Rear
Admirals Ramsay and Benham, the
two latter being now upon the retired
list. Otis said these officers have al
ways carefully avoided giving an opin-
ion as to the merits of the contro-
Yersy.
Long has from the moment the
court of inquiry was suggested fav-
ored the appointment of Dewey, be-
lieving his appointment would give
the highest character to the court and
that any decision it might reach
would be accepted by the American
people. Ramsey was for eight years
head of the bureau of navigation.
Benham came into prominence in 1894
during brief revolution against Pres
dent Fonseca of Brazil.
New York, July 24.-The Herald to-
day says: Rear Admiral Schley has
asked Secretary Long to appoint a
court of inquiry to determine the facts
in regard to his course in the Santiago
campaign. While Schley will not dis
cuss his determination, the Herald is
nevertheless in a position to announce
the fact that application has been
made"

Trenton, N. j., July 24.-The state
Of New Jersey, which is the home of
corporations, has other means of
swelling it's treasury, as, for instance,
when it reaps the benefit of COLA
teral inheritance tax in such cases as
the probate of a will like the late
Pierre Lorillard's.
By the provision which be4ueaths
his Rancocas farm, at Jobstown, and
all it's appurtenances, to Mrs. Lily
Barnes Allen, the state Of New
Jersey will profit to the extent Of
per cent. of the value of the property
because she is not directt heir and
the property is not bequeathed for
charitable purposes.
The property has been estimated to
be worth about $1,000,00O. The col
lateral inheritance tax law provides
for the appointment of appraisers to
determine the value of property sub
ject to the tax. The appointments in
this case rests with Chancellor Magic
who, as ordinary of the prerogative
court, probated the will.
If the appraisers should agree with

four sons have been killed, leaving
two sons and three daughters still
alive. The Duplessis family comes
from the blood that gave Cardinal
Richelieu to the world, and Mrs.
Kruger therefore was not without
distinguished ancestry. Little is
known, however, about the family
tree. When Mr.. and Mrs. Kruger, In
1892, entered the two-story cottage in
Pretoria which was the Executive
Mansion of the Transvaal, they did
not change their mode Of life, and the
simple, unpretentious housekeeping
which they had followed Heretofore
was continued. 1t was only within
the last few years, and then only be-
cause of her great age, that Mrs.
Kruger took servants into the house.
Up to four years ago she did all the
homework herself, although her
husbands income of $4,000 from the
government, not to speak Of his win
nings from his private enterprises,
was sufficient to have given her the
service of a princely castle. But
Mrs. Kruger preferred to do her own
cooking and housekeeping, and
seldom had any assistance save that
of her daughters while they were still
unmarried.
