Both Sides Hopeful Of Settle
ment of Steel Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa, July "a more hope
ful atmosphere pervaded the head
quarters of both the steel combine and
the Amalgamated association today
AS the result Of the preliminary con-
ference between President Shaner. of
the eAmalgamated association. and War
ner Arms representing the combines
interests, last evening. the Welisville
trouble. which yesterday threatened to
undo all that had been done towards
effectfng peaceable settlen ent of the
strike. was not referred to. and every
thing pointed to an amicable adjust
rnent of all differences at the general
conference arranged for next Thurs
day in this city.
President Shahfer said he considered
the questions to be taken up at the
conference to be most grave. and for
that reason he thought IL best to call
in the general executive board, COM
posed of the highest officers of the as
sociation. instead of consulting with
the conferees who usually meet to con-
slider such questions. This board he's
only been called together once before.
and that was during the trouble at the
Woods plant at McKeesport. last April.

will meet the committee representing
Lincoln in this city at 10 o'clock on
Thursday morning. I am pretty well
satisfied that the trouble Will be set
tied at this meeting. There seems To
be a spirit of fairness prevailing among
those to whom I have talked officially
on the subject. and I think we win iiN
matters up. The meeting will be for
the signing Of the scale for the mills
as a whole.
Among those on the outside who pro-
fessed to know fl was said the confer
ence would be in this case governed
for the United States Steel corporation
by general officers and not by any or
the operating officials Of the underlying
companies. Should this be the case il
will mark a decided departure in the
method of dealing with labor questions
with the Amalgamated association.

companies subsidiary by the company

NOTHING IN IT.
William Allen White Says He
Has No Thoughts of LeaV-
ing Kansas.

Both of the Kansas City morning pa
pers today publish sensational articles
saying that william Allen White. editor
and proprietor of the Emporia Gazette,
is to desert Kansas; that ne is to go to
Guthrie, O. K. secure the postmaster
ship through Mark Hanna, start an
evening newspaper there; go into poll
tics in a new field and cut a wide swath
generally.
Mr.. White was called up over the
telephone this morning by a State Jour
nal representative. He says that there
is not a word Of truth in the story; that
he is not going to Oklahoma; did not
think of going there; that he does not
mean to leave Kansas nor Emporia- He
sees no reason why he should go to
Oklahoma. If he should leave the state
at all and he has no idea of doing SO,
he could go to New York
Asked how the Oklahoma story got
o1U he says he thinks it was started in
this way: One of his reporters has been
writing upon Emporia Gazette station
cry to Guthrie, o. K, about the best
methods of securing a claim in the new
lands to be opened for settlement. Mr..
W mite thinks from this that somebody
imagined that he instead of the reporter
was going down there and SO spread
story of this kind.
Mr. White has recently put up a hand
some newspaper building at EmpOrla
and only few weeks ago bought one
of the most beautiful homes in his town.
During the past few days he has pur-
chased additional real estate in EN-
pOrIa and is now planning to put up
business house there as an additional
investment

illustrations drawn from their own oc-
equations, with force and eloquence
and special adaptation that was the
WORK of genius, or, as the devout would
say, the spirit of the Master personified
in his mortal servant. "I'll give that
man fifty dollars year to come and
preach to u.s." was the effect of these
ministrations upon an ore smelter, not
particularly conspicuous for goodness,
but good judge of good man, never
theless. What captured their hearts
was the spectacle of this preacher
spending his week days in the forest,
with no moment for preparation, and
entering that rude shanty on Sunday
and uttering the burning words that
fixed hearts not too susceptible to sa-
cred things.

AWFUL DISASTER.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 23.-The Pa
cific Mail steamer Rio De Janeiro ran
on hidden rock while entering the
Golden Gate early Friday morning in a
dense fog. She sank few minutes af-
ter striking. The latest figures place
the loss at 122 persons most of whom
were Chinese and japanese, but it is
impossible to ascertain the exact num-
Der owing to the fact that Parser John
Rooney, who had the passenger list and
roster of the crew is among the miss
ing.
AT five O'Clock Friday afternoon ten
bodies had been found, two white wo-
men, one white man and seven Chi
nese. The most prominent passenger on
the steamer was Rounseville Wildman,
United States Consul at Hong Kong,
who was accompanied by his wife and
two children. 1t is thought all were
drowned. The ship was in command

In CHINA.

PEKIN, Feb. 25.-No official an
nouncement has been made of the
abandonment of the proposed expedi-
ton into the interior, but it is not
likely that any further preparations will
be made. The foreign ENJOYS feel that
the proposal was a master stroke and
caused the settlement of what might
have been a protracted affair.
The full text of the imperial edict
regarding punishments was sent Satur-
day evening to the ministers of the
powers. 1t is identical with the I'M
official report of the context of the con-
tents Of the edict cabled to the Associ-
ated Press. The ministers say that
there is little confusion with reference
to strangulation and suicide, but this is
not important.
Ii Hung Chang received a bulletin
announcing the sentence which could
be best carried into effect by the board
of punishment, and he requested the
Japanese to deliver Wing Men and
Chao Shu Chiao in order that the sen
fences in their cases might be executed
today in conformity with edicts; but
the Japanese considered the notice too
short and have delayed the enforce
ment OF the penalties until Tuesday in
order that the ministers of the powers
might send representatives, as they de-
sire. 1t is also intended to guard the
men at the place of execution, so as tC
prevent suicide or escape.

In His Footsteps.

The new Senator from Vermont,
Mr.. Dillingham;, one of the most polish
ed and accomplished men of the sew
eral gifted New Englanders in the SEN
ate, expects to preside at maple sugar
party here in Washington early in
April, provided there is an extra SEES
sion of Congress. The Senator is moth
ing if not loyal Vermonter, and the
latter are highly pleased at the pros.
pect of his being present. He has no
exalted opinion of congressional ora
tory, although he confirmed his own
reputation in that respect by making a
ringing patriotic speech at the recent
banquet of the District Commandery of
the Loyal Legion. But he has applied
himself to the work of the Senate dis
trict committee with unusual industry
and intelligence and already ranks
among its most useful members. In
this he is following closely in the foot
steps of his distinguished predecessor,
the late Senator Morrill,. Washington
Post.

William Ward went down with his YES

There was not much confusion until
fifteen minutes after striking, the bow
OF the vessel suddenly plunged under
water. The there was wild rush for
the boats. Two boats had already been
lowered and others were getting away
as rapidly as the trained discipline OF
the crew could prepare them. A thick
fog enveloped everything and as yet 10

with this added horror the people on

Those who attended the recent eau
Gus in this city must have been I'M
pressed with the necessity for the ap-
plication of the provisions OF the Aus
tralian ballot law, or something similar,
to the government of those meetiI gs.
So far as known, no fraud was perpe-
trated and there was an honest count,
but how easily it might have been
otherwise. To illustrate: The result
of the ballot for candidate for lister
was the nomination of G. A. Gale over
E. M. Goddard by majority of one
vote The tellers could not know that
every person offering to vote was a
legal voter; and, besides, what was
there besides his own sense of recti,
tude to prevent legal voter from de-
posting more than one ballot? On the
second ballot for candidate for city
grand juror, three votes were found by
the tellers folded together, but the re-
suit would not have been affected had
the votes all been counted or all re-
jected. There is fully as much need,
in the interest Of honest elections, that
the ballot box be safeguarded at the eau
cuses, the fountain-head of organized

A great deal of valuable experience
and information in Eastern affairs W en-
down with Consul Wildman, one of the
victims of the RIO de Janeiro disaster
Mr.. Wildman and his family might
have been saved, according to the re-
ports from the wreck, but for his
anxiety to get possession of valuable
package he had deposited in the ships
safe. The purser had gone below to
try to open the safe, and while await.
ing his return with the package the
ship went down, and with it the consul
and his family. A boat had been plac-
ed at his disposal and he bad ample
time and opportunity to save himself.
The belief, however, was that the ship
would float for a considerable period;
aud one of the surprises of the disaster
is that, il the Rio was compartment
ship, she should sink 80 suddenly. II
she was not such ship, the surprise il
that the line should be allowed to sal
such vessel.

Woman suffrage was beaten in the

One representative dared to oppose the
bill in spite of the frowns of his wife in

placing of New Mexican women on the
lamentable plane now occupied by their
sex in Colorado" In short, the dis
cussion was mere play.
