"Wha "a you say as to the future

TO ADJUST DIFFERENCES
Conference Will Be Held Between
Strikers and Steel Com
panies.

Pittsburg, July 6-The strike of the
American Sheet Steel company and
the American Steel Hoop company
mill employees will probably be termi-
mated next week. Arrangements were
made in this city today for holding a
joint conference in Pittsburg be-
tween representatives of both COM
panies which are components of the
United States Steel corporation, and
representatives Of amalgamated asso-
citation of iron, steele and tin workers
for the purpore of adjusting existing
labor troubles. The agreement to
meet in conference means virtually
a settlement of the strike falasmuch
as the operating officials Of the two
companies would not have consented
to meet the workers committee I'm
less there was good prospect of an
immediate settlement. and it may be
accepted as a settled fact that all the
mills now idle will be in operation by
the end of next week and the strike
which threatened the steel industry
generally will be averted.
It is stated on good authority that
the conference will be held, next week
probably before Wednesday,, and as
a is given that a settlement of
the trouble will be speedily effected.
A statement tonight from a promf-
nent amalgamated' official as to what
brought about the proposition for a
conference, gives as a reason the
fact that the American Tin Plate
company was given notice lase week
that if the steel hoop and sheet steel
scales were not signed by the manu-
f%acturers by a certain date, naming
a day in the close future. the Anal
gamated association president would
be instructed to enforce the authority
given him by the constitution to call
out all union employees of the United
States Steel corporation.

CONSTITUTION RUNS AWAY

FIRST CONTEST A SURPRISE

Newport, July 6-An unqualified
victory for Constitution, overwhelm
ing defeat for independence and 8
most commendable showing for the
old champion, Columbia, is the rec
ord of the first days contest of the
big sloops in the Newport Yacht Rae
ing association series.
From the firing of the starting gun

ward in a light easterly breeze, Con.
stitution neld her rivals. At the turn.
ing buoy she was- little more thar
two minutes in advance of Columbia,
while independence was hull down to
leeward. But it was in the home
run that the new Herreshoff yacht
showed her greatest strength, beating
Columbia I'VE eight minutes in Is
miles down the wind, and when the
new champion of Americas cup
swept across the line the Boston
yacht was over seven miles astern.
Owing to the lightness of the wind
there was no brilliant or dramatic
scene to chronicle.
The race lacked the charm that at
tends a scrupper breeze, but it was,
nevertheless, full of interesting, if
not exciting events. The chief incl
dent of the contest was, of course,
the failure of Independence to meet
the expectations of her adherents.
That she was a failure in the weather
that prevailed today can
be gainsaid. At no time during
the contest to windward did she show
any worthy qualities, whatever.

Islanders Feel Grateful.

New York, July General Max
imo Gomez said tonight, to the news
paper men, that he wished to. express
his gratitude to the press of the
United States and Of the world for
the great good they had done to the
cause of Cuba libre. He said that
when he came here years ago he was
very sad, but on this visit he was
very happy and was glad to recognize
how much the American people had
done for the Cubans. He had felt a
bond of sympathy with the American
nation when he first mingled with it's
people, but he o felt more strongly
the reality Of that bond. He was
sure that the Cubans would now es-
tablish their own government and
would show how much they feel CRATE
full for the successful help Of the
Americans in removing the Spanish
yoke.

remittances were paid to her by John
Brown himself, it is said. At his
death they ceased altogether.
She made several ~ineffectua1 at

when these failed she came to this

which it is said had been suppressed
in England and Germany. IT con-

rison, convicted of manslaughter in
the second degree for the murder of
Mrs. Clara Wiley Castle, June %,
1900, was today sentenced to five
years in the ~penitentiary in close con
fnement at hard labor. Miss Morri-
son took her sentence calmly and re-
turned to her cell with steady steps.
She will be taken to Lansing at once.
Judge Altman overruled success
sively motions for a new trial, for
postponement of sentence and for ar
rest of judgment. Court has adjourn
ed to September, when Miss Morri-
sons attorneys will file a bill of ex-
ceptions and take an appeal to the
state supreme court.
Judge Altman in overruling the
motions said:
This case has been tried twice and
the defendant has had a fair trial.
The jurors rendered the verdict and
it is not for me to say whether it is
fair or not. IN passing sentence I
cannot overlook the fact that II
jurors voted for murder and one for
m~anslaughter and that the IL finally
yielded to the one. l gave the fair
est instructions I knew how and. gave
the defendant the benefit of every
thing l could under the law.
Il have the deepest sympathy for
the relatives On both sides. Judge
Morrison has always been a personal
friend of mine and it is painful for
to pass this sentence. The pris-
oner is a young woman with life be-
fore her and if she follows the in
structions of the prison officers, and
l think she will, she will be properly
treated, her sentence will be lowered
over a year for good behavior and she
will yet have a chance to perform
many acts of charity and to make
life a success. If she does this the
Maker of the universe will guide and
direct her."
Judge Morrison, father of the pris-
oner, is an elderly white haired man.
He was formerly probate judge of
this county. He has attended his
daughter constantly since her arrest
a year ago, and today when sentence
was passed helped her back to her
cell,

DOUBT ALMOST DIsPELLED.
Confidence Beginning to Be Felt in
Ultimate Recovery.

Confidence Beginning to BE Felt In
Ultimate Recovery.
Milburn House, Buffalo, n. ", Sept.
9.-President McKinley's condition
Monday morning was so favorable
that it dispelled almost the last shade
of doubt and apprehension and led
those nearest him to make the most
confident predictions of his recovery
The official bulletins from the physi-
clans as wei as the authoritative
statements of those in most intimate
relation with the presidential house
hold gave certainty to the feeling
that the worst phases of the crisis
were about over.
Temporary Apprehension DispeIIed.
The tone of the early bulletin in re-
ferring to the presidents somewhat
restless night gave temporary appre-
hension, but this was speedily dis
PEELED by the results of the consulta-
ton held by the doctors, from eight
to nine o'clock and officially an
nounced at the latter hour. This dis
closed marked improvement in the
pulse and temperature. Aside from
these pathological features, the doc
tOIo gave TIC lhLOl
free from all technicalities of science,
that the presidents condition was be-
coming more and more satisfactory
and that untoward symptoms were
becoming less likely. Besides their
official, signed utterances, the doc
tors gave individual expressions rein
forcing the buoyant and confident
tone. They made known, too, that the
presidents mind was clear, his men,
tai faculties as vigorous as ever ready
to talk with the doctors, but they re-
strained him to a considerable extent.
Produced Feeling of Confidence.
These positive assurances gave to
the members of the cabinet and to
the relatives and nearest friends of
the president, feeling of confidence
little short of absolute certainty tha t
the president was now well on the
way to recovery. Without exception,
house expressed this same confident
view. Among those who called to re-
ceive the good news and then to re-
peat it to the many anxious watchers,
were Attorney-General Knox, Secre-
| tary Wilson, Postmaster-Genera
| Charles Emory Smith, Senator Han
ma, Abner Mckinley, Myron 7. Her
rick, Senator Fairbanks, Comptroller
Dawes and many others holding the
closest relations with the president.
