cerning the accident:
"The accident was caused by the ain

is of divine origin. The revelation di-
rection that Peter Anderson be chosen
to fill the vacancy in the quorum of
twelve; that the rules of representation
remain as they are till the growth of
the church renders a change necessary;
that two new states be established, one
at Independence, Mo-, and one a! La

anese, Portuguese, and other languages

Seven Alleged Pool Rooms Visited
Friction With Police.

New York, April 1.-THE committee
of fifteen raided seven alleged pool
rooms this afternoon. In only one place
did the raiders fail to make any arrests
and G. O. Brewster OF the committee
openly says the inmates of the place re-
ceived tip from the police that the
place was about to be raided.
"A feature OF the raiding was the eff
fort by at least two of the police Off
Gals to prove that the places raided
were not poolrooms but orderly and
well conducted clubs. Captain Diamond
declared place raided on East Four
teenth street was not a pool room and
Acting Captain Carson declared this
was true of the club raided on West
Twenty-third street. There was some
friction between the committee and
these officers. The places raided, to-
gether with the number OF prisoners
taken in each place, were as follows:
''The" Aliens place on Sixth avenue:
Allen, the alleged superintendent, and
two others arrested. A room on Canal
street, four persons. A room on Mer-
Ger street, one prisoner. The Bon Ton
club, on West Twenty-third street, four
prisoners. A place on East Eighth
street. five persons. A place on East
Fourteenth street, three prisoners. A
room at Eighth avenue and Fourteenth
street, no prisoners and no evidence OBJ

STEEL STRIKE SITUATION

Strike Leader Backed Up In Determine
ation to Call u General Strike If 1t is
Deemed Necessary.

| Pittsburg, April 17.-Chances of q.
strike Of all of the men of the ANAL
gamated association employed in the
organized mills of the American Sheet
Steel company and subsequently of all
the organized men in the mills of the
United States Steel Corporation trem-
bles in the balance tonight. On the
one hand President T. j. Shaffer is
backed up in his determine ton to call
general strike by majority of the
members of his advisory board and the
district vice presidents and trustees who
were in session all day to-day. On the
other hand there is new move toward
Cancellation and arbitration which may
end the entire controversy in Pittsburg
tomorrow or may be carried to New
York to be adjusted by higher powers.
President T. J. Shaffer said tonight
that the outlook for settlement is better
than at any time since the McKeesport
trouble started. He refused to explain
this statement.
The session of the Amalgamated ex-
ecutives to-day took no action on the
presidents proposed resolution giving
him power to call out the men Of the
sheet company and subsequently DIS he
sees fit all the men Of the new Morgan
company. The meeting adjourned un-
til tomorrow morning, when these Off
cials will be present.
A canvass of all parties to the dis
pute indicates that the declaration Of
a strike will not take place for several
days. The effort at conciliation TO be
made tomorrow will be followed by
others that will take time. At McKees-
port tonight, while the strikers are
alert and ready to meet any new move
that may be made by the company
nothing resembling disorder has oc-
Cured. The crucial test Of the mems
to continue allegiance to

Bronbcrg.

Boston, April 17.--Louis Kronberg, the
Boston artist, was only partly success
full in his suit against Richard Mans

ing two pictures Of him in the charac-
ters of Richard III and Shylock at the
rate of 5000 each and s240 for travelling

that the two paintings in question were
not satisfactory and he denied that
there had been any agreement by him
to pay the artists expenses. Judge
Dewey to-day in the municipal civil
court awarded Artist Kronberg $500 on
account of the picture of Mansfield i'm

Absence Granted Him for Rest.

| London, April 1.-THE South African
blue book, containing recent dispatches
! from Sir Alfred Miner and other ofil-
cal correspondence is issued tonight.
Sir Alfred Miner wired under date of
March 3 requesting permission to re-
turn home at an early date upon leave
of absence for the purpose of resting
Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secre-
tary, replied by granting this request,
but expressing the governments regret
that it should be necessary for Sir Al
fred to leave South Africa at the pres
ent time, quite recognizing, however,
his need for rest and mentioning three
months as possible period Of absence.
In a dispatch dated February s Sir
Alfred Miner reviews the situation in
South Africa and says that he had
hoped some definite point would be
reached at which it might be possible
to sum UP that chapter Of history con-
corning the war and forecasting the ad-
ministrative reconstruction which must
succeed 1t. but I am reluctantly forced
to the conclusion that there Will be no
such dividing line." continued Sir AL
fred Miner, "and have not the slight
est doubt Of the ultimate result, but l
foresee that the work will be slower
more difficult, more harasslng and more
expensive than was at one time antici-
pated. At any rate 1t is idle to wait
much longer in the hope of being able
to describe a clear and clean cut situa-
tion.
"In spite of the confused character of
the present position l think it better to
attempt to describe, however, roughly
and inadequately the state of things
as they exist to-day. 1t is no use de- |
nying that the last half of the year has
been one of retrogresson. Seven |
months ago this colony was perfectly |
quiet, at least as far as the Orange |
river The southern half of the Orange
River colony was rapidly settling down |
and even a considerable portion of the |
Transvaal, notably the southwestern \
districts, seemed to have definitely ac- |
cepted British authority and to rejoice |
at the opportunity to return to orderly |
government. To-day the scene Is COM |
pletely altered. 1t would be superf1u-
GUS to dwell on the increased losses to
the country caused by the prolongation |
of the struggle and by the form which
1T has recently assumed. The fact that
the enemy are now broken up into
great number of small forces raiding in
every direction and that our troops are
similarly broken up in their pursuit,
makes the area of actual fighting and
and consequently of destruction, much
