STREET CARNIVAL
NEXT OCTOBER.
indianapolis Will Enlarge the Affair Of
Last Year.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 80.
"A second fall carnival will be
held in this city during one week
in October. The exact time has
not yet been determined. Many
of the important features of last
years event will be retained, but
these are to be enlarged and inn
proved. Many features will be
entirely new and original. Flor
al, allegorical, grotesque and in
dustrial parades will be held.
The floral parade will be in
charge of the ladies of the Flow
er Mission. The allegorical par
ade will undoubtedly be much
larger this year than last. There
will be longer time for prepara-
tion and a better opportunity to
make such designs representative
historically of the events and
eras commemorated. The ex-
hibits in the industrial pageant,
it is expected, will also be on a
much grander scale than those
of last year. The experience
then was an encouragement to
manufacturers and merchants to
make displays on the next occa-
sion creditable to the enterprises
in which they are engaged.
This years carnival will be
much more of a state affair than
the last one. There will be some
features of special interest to
neighboring cities and towns and
their cooperation in these will
be invited.

STEEL MAGNATES AND
STRIKERS FAR APART
Yesterdays Conference Fruitless Of Re.
suits to Labor.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 81
After many trials and much ques
tioning concerning the strike
conference, the following condi-
tion is looked upon as being the
real status of the case. The in
timation comes from excellent
authority.
The real cause of the trouble
is that there are two pronOunc-
ed elements found in the make
up of the executive board of the
Amalgamated association.
The conservative force headed
by President T. j. Shaffer, Sec
retary John Williams. Trustee
John Morgan and some of 1.-The
older and more experienced lead
ers, are understood to look with
favor upon the propositions SUBJ
mitted.
The more radical element,
which is largely made up of the
aggressive and younger men, are
understood to be anxious to hold
out for more favorable terms.
The controversy between the
members of the board, while
calmly conducted, it is under
stood, was not near an agree
ment when al adjournment was
taken last night. The hope was
expressed last night by Presi-
dent Shaffer that the members
would have time to sleep over
the serious subject that they
have been called to decide, and
by morning would be in a better
mood to consider the matter and
act wisely upon it.
The conference is in session
today and absolutely no infor-
nation is permitted to leak out.
While there is much disappoint-
ment over the failure to agree
yesterday there is a strong cur
rent of hope that a settlement
will be reached by this evening.

LIMITED MAIL ON THE
WABASH IN COLLISION
Net Bridge Train Near Peru Running
at High Speed.

PERU. Ind, July 81 The
limited mail on the Wabash rail-
way narrowly escaped being
wrecked near this city last night.
The escape seems little short of
a miracle. The fast mail, due
here at z o'clock, was delayed by
a partially burned bridge and re-
ceived orders to come to Peru.
About the same time a special
bridge train was sent out of here.
After it left came news of the de-
parture of the passenger train.
With no telegraph station be-
tween the points the officers re-
allied that nothing short of a
miracle would save the trains,
and the wreck train was called
out with all the available physi-
clans of this city on board, and
preparations were made for the
worst. The wrecking train had
only gone about four miles when
the passenger train was seen
coming. At the point where the
two trains met was a long and
rounding curve and the head
lights of both engines could be
seen. Even with this in their
favor and with the full force Of
the emergency brakes applied
the engines came together with
sufficient force to break the pilots
and other parts of the front ends,
though neither engine left the
track. Both trains were running
at the rate of fully fifty miles an
hour and the shaking up was
terrific. Passengers were tossed
about and two men were severely
but not dangerously injured by
having their heads out of the
window.
Jerome Herff, of Peru, was a
passenger and was slightly in
jured. Mrs. R. H. Berndt, of
Wabash, was badly shaken.

A LETTER
From Sampson to schIey was
Suppressed
The ACCUSED Sailors Son Says
Regulations will Suffer in Pres
ent Investigation.

SALT LAKE, Utah, July %
The Herald today prints the fol-
lowing:
Capt. Thomas F. Schley, eldest
son of Admiral Winfield Schley,
who is stationed at Fort Doug
lass in this city, yesterday out
lined some points that will be
brought out in the court out in
the court of inquiry as to his
father 's<conduct at the battle of
Santiago. He declared that some
startling facts will be brought
to light if the whole truth shall
become known, and that the rep
utations of persons other than
his father are likely to suffer.
81 have just written to my
father" said Captain Schley."
THAT thought he ought to spare
nobody and that he should with
hold none of the facts in his pos
session about Admiral Sampson
or anybody else"
Captain Schley is an officer of
the Twenty-third infantry in
command at Fort Douglass. AL
though he has not had a letter
from his father since tie court of
inquiry was ordered, he is fami-
liar with the question at issue
and pointed out some of the facts
that will be urged in the admir-
ais defense.
"When the court of inquiry
meets" said Captain Schley, 81
would like to have the privilege
of asking Admiral Sampson just
one question: If the battle of
Santiago had resulted in defeat,
to whom would the blame be at
tached?' This, 1 think, tells the
situation in a nutshell. If fAdmir-
al Schley had lost the battle he
would have been blamed. He
won it, and he should have the
credit"
1.-THE accusations that are made
are ridiculous, when they are in
vestigated. Take, for example,
the charge of disobedience of or
ders in May, 1898. An attempt
has been made to saddle the re-
sponsibility on my father. The
fact is that he has a letter from
Admiral Sampson telling him to
do exactly what he did, and this
letter will be produced at the in
quEy. At that time he was main
tanning the blockade off Cienfue-
ges. Secretary Long wired
Admiral Sampson, strongly adj
vising that the blockading fleet
go to Santiago, in the hope of
finding the Spanish fleet there. I"
Admiral Sampson sent the
dispatch to Admiral Schley, with
a note in which he said: After
duly considering this telegram, l
have decided to make no change
in the present plans; that is, that
you should hold your squadron
off Cienfuegos.
This letter was suppressed"

LOTTERY
Drawing for Lands and Homes
in Oklahoma
One Thousand Claims Awarded Yes
tsrddu in the KiOWd-COm-.
dnChe Indian Country.

Ell RENO, Ok, July 30-Okla-
homa's great land lottery begun
here yesterday, and when the
commissioners appointed by the
Federal government adjourned
the drawing for the day 1000 Of
the choicest of the 13, 900 $50 acre
claims in the Kiowa- Comanche
country had been awarded.
Thd first name drawn from the
wheels was that of Stephen A.
Holcomb of Pauls Valley, l. t.
for homestead in the Ell Reno
district, and the second Leonard
Lamb of Augusta, Ok. These
men select the two choicest
claims in this district.
The capital prize winners, how
ever, proved to be James R.
Woods, of Weatherford, Ok,
whose name was the first to come
from the Lawton district wheel,
and Miss Matte H. Beal. of
Wichita, Kan, who drew the
second number in that district.
They will have the privilege of
making the first filings in the
Lawton district, and will un-
doubtedly choose the two quarter
sections adjoining that town.
These are considered the most
valuable IN the territory. and are,
it is estimated, worth from $780,
600 to $40, 900 each. 2
The day was one of keen ex-
citement, replete with interesting
scenes. It is estimated that 25, :
600 persons witnessed the draw
ing. The immense throng was
wrought up to the highest pitch.
The drawing of the first names
was followed by a mighty shout
that reverberated between the
hills and was heard for miles
over the prairies.
Each succeeding winner FOR a
time was met with shouts of ap-
plause and merriment. All was
pleasantly. Every man, though
he did not draw a prize from the
wheels today, had steadfast faith
that tomorrow or the next day
would surely see him the posses
sor of a slip reading him title
clear to 100 acres of Oklahoma
land. Unfortunate ones, instead
of bewailing their fate, cheered
Justify as familiar names were
called out from the commission
erS platform.
The crowds fairly exhausted
themselves, and when the close
of the drawing for the day was
announced a. 6 o'clock hundreds
who had neither eaten nor drank
during the day sank to the
ground where they stood from
sheer fatigue or dragged them
selves to better places for rest or
to refreshment booths uptown.
General satisfaction with the
governments method of dispos-
ing of the land was felt.
1t has been found that many
hundred applicants have ''re-
peated," and that others have
applications so illegible that they
will be thrown out. Over this
much discord has resulted, and
the outcome may be an appeal to
the courts.
The drawing had been set for
9 o'clock, but the transferring of
the bundles of envelopes holding
applications from the general
receptacle into the wheels. which
was by lot, was so slow that it
was 1880 o'clock before the first
name was drawn. twenty-five
names were first drawn from the
Ell Reno district, and then an
equal number from the i.awton
district.
The drawing was resumed this
morning and will be completed,
it is thought, by Thursday even
ing.

ALL OVER
Great Steel and Iron Strike May
End Today
Conference in Session Today of
Vast Importance to Business
interests Everywhere.

PITTSBURG, July oO.-EVery-
body is on the qui vive today in
strike circles and the conference
now in session is regarded with
mingled hope and fear. Hope,
however, predominates and peace
is confidently expected by a ma
jority of those interested.
The executive committee of
the Amalgamated association met
this morning at ten o'clock and
nothing has been given out. or
will be until adjournment. The
leaders on both sides decline to
discuss the matter in any shape.
The terms and conditions pro-
posed for peace, and which are
now under discussion, are as fol
lows:
The Amalgamated association
is to drop contention for the sign
ing of scale for all mills.
All mills are to be ''open "
mills in the fullest sense of the
term,
The company is to have the
right to place a non-union man in
any plant and keep him there.
In addition to the plants COW
cred by the expired scale it is to
be signed for the following:
w. Devices Wood, of McKees-
port; Painter, Lindsay & Nc
Cutcheon, and Clark Mills, of
Pittsburg, ard Monessen plants
of the American Steel Hoop Co.
The question of making the
Wellsville' sheet plant and the
Monessen tin plate plant directly
covered by the scale is to be set
tied by the conferees.
The amalgamated association
is to have the privilege of organ
izing the men in any of the
plants.
Settlement program for today:
The executive committee of the
Amalgamated association met at
headquarters at 10 o'clock, and
is expected to ratify the provis-
ional terms outlined by the New
York conference.
An informal meeting of con-
ferees to represent the three op-
Grating companies in the joint
conference is held at the same
time.
Manufacturers conferees of the
last meeting will be in readiness
to meet the amalgamated men,
possibly at the amaigamated
headquarters in the Bissel block
in the afternoon to sign the
scales.
This was busy day for Pres
ident Shaffer and the executive
officials of the Amalgamated as
sociation. There was a steady
stream of callers from early in
the morning and innumerable
conferences bearing on the pro-
posed settlement of the strike.
President Shaffer was firm in
his determination not to talk on
the strike situation until after
the meeting or the decision had
been reached by the executive
committee concerning the prop
ositions of the United States
Steel corporation. 1t was init.
mated, however, that there was
a very strong likelihood that the
committee would not adjourn un-
til they had met with the manu-
facturers and formally discussed
| the settlement of the strike. If
this should be the case, actual
peace is possible in short time.

AN AeNosTIC.

An "agnostic" Is one who don't
know,-you know. Plainly Mr.. At
torney General Knox is an agnostic.
In his answer to the letter of Chair
man Martin, of the Antitrust League,
he don't know anything. But for his
age and recent efficiency in promoting
trusts, one might suppose that he is
a survivor of the old "Know-Nothing'
party. According to his letter he
never saw a trust, never heard of one
and wouldn't know one If he met 1t
in the road. Apparently he thinks a
trust is something to eat. True he
admits that he was lately legal ad.
wiser of the Carnegie company, but
that the managers of that corporation
IL they thought trust, they kept it
from him. Mckinley, when the Gu
ban Commissioners complained of the
breach of faith evidenced by the Plat
resolutions, laid it all on to the 'wick
ed partner so Mr.. Knox
says he "was never consulted" on thu
subject of his company going into th'
Steel trust. Such innocence, in thi'
bad age of a wicked world, acqult

ask itself at least occasionally. The
men in charge of this affair. we should
imagine, must be at times uneasy, for
they surely cannot expect the Ameri

THEY NEED GUARDIANS.

The Ohio statute defines an imbe-
cile as zone who, not born idlotic, has

The committee of the Antitrust
League who wrote to Knox, according
to this definition, ought to have guar
dians placed over them on the ground
of imbecility. Hardly less refreshing
for its innocence than the answer they
got. is the fact that they seem to have
expected that the Carnegie attorney
