UNEXPECTED MOVE AT MIXES
PORT AGAINST AMALGA-
MATED ASSOCIATION,

Pittsburg, July 27.-The National
Tube Works company at McKeesport
made an unexpected move yesterday
intended to checkmate the Amalga-
mated association. Its skilled work
men have been asked to sign indiyid-
ual contracts to practically repudiate
any union labor and have been given
but short time to think the matter
over. 1t is understood should they
not sign the contracts they will find
the positions vacant and the axe is
expected to fall today. 1t transpired
yesterday late in the evening that
600 welders of the mills were paid off
and then taken into the Office of the
general superintendent where they
were presented with individual con-
tracts to be signed for at least a year.
Some demurred while others signed
the contracts.
The movement carried consterna-
ton into the ranks of the strikers.
The welders were highly skilled
workmen and with their cooperation
the big plant might be closed down.
With them in line the plant would
probably keep on runnin gas though
nothing had happened. 1t was init
mated last night by friends of the
welders that they would all sign The
contract
Definite announcement that the off,

company would start the w. Devices
wood mill in McKeesport as non.

quarters of the Amalgamated associa-
ton early yesterday. That the move
ment would not be permitted to be
made without decided attempt to
check it was subsequently shown by
the long, earnest conferences that
took place in Shaffer's Office during
the afternoon. While the rank and
file of the strikers are not acquainted
with the plans of the campaign. they
now believe important developments
will soon occur which will change the
aspect of affairs considerably.
Among the officials of the manufac-
turers the same studious silence is
preserved. The only statement OBJ
tainable has been that the situation is
unchanged and that the manufacture
ers had made no overtures for a set
tlement of the strike and did not in
tend to.

KEENAN, MUST
LEAVE RUSSIA

st. Petersburg, July PA Russian
police officer called up George Ken
nan, the American authority and lee
turer, at his hotel Thursday evening
and informed him he must leave the
country by 10 O'Clock the next even
ing Mr.. KEENAN, was not allowed to
leave his room in the interim, but he
was courteously treated. This action
by the Russian authorities is taken
under the law giving the minister Of
the interior authority to expel unde-
sirable foreigners. The notice served
upon Mr.. KEENAN, characterized him
as untrustworthy politically. Mr..
KEENAN, has informed the United
States minister to Russia, Charlie
magne Tower, of this action of the
Russian authorities, but has not asked
Mr.. Tower to intervene in the matter.
KEENAN, was Is years old when he
first went to Russia as an operator on
the Russia-American telegraph
scheme. His work carried him into
Siberia, where he remained for about
three years. While there, they heard
that. the Atlantic cable was a success
and that killed the Russian American
cable plan. Ten years later he re-
tuned to Siberia, and subsequently
travelled extensively in Caucasus.
Ssveral years ago he was sent to Rus
sia by The Century people, to investi-
gate the convict system. On his re-
turn he wrote an account of his jour-
ney, publication of which was forbid
den in Russia. Tolstoi's book, Revo-
luton, goes far to substantiate his &C
count of the convict system. He has
lectured extensively.

SAFETY FOR TELEPHONES.
Companies Must Provide Suitable
Lightning Conductors.

Companies Must Provide Suitable
Lightning Conductors.
An interesting and somewhat
unique case involving the use of light
ming arresters on telephone lines, has
recently been decided by the supreme
court of Vermont. A physician, while
sitting in his library near telephone
instrument, was instantly killed by
an electrical discharge from the wire,
and the plaintiff contended that in not
having provided a suitable apparatus
or appliance to conduct the lightning
to the earth. or at least out of the
house, the telephone company was
guilty of culpable negligence. In the
lower court Judgment was rendered in
favor of the heirs of the physician,
and the supreme court, to which the
case was appealed, affirmed the de-
cision.
1t appears that the fatal bolt struck
one of the oompanw's poles about
quarter of a mile from the doctors
house, that it scattered and went in
to the ground by various routes, and
that only a small fraction of the orig.
inal charge could have entered the
residence. However, in the absence
of proof that lightning had struck
elsewhere in that neighborhood at the
time, it appeared to be established
conclusively that the discharge from
the telephone wire, small as it was,
caused the trouble. The province of
the jury, therefore, was to determine
whether, If there existed devices for
diverting or controlling the force of
the lightning. the company was liable
for not having employed one of prac-
tical value in the house of the physi-
clan.
The evidence showed that on top OF
the house there was an arrangement
intended to insure the desired protec.
tion, consisting of two metal plates,
one of which was attached to the tele-
phone wire. The other plate, in or.
der to make the arrester operative by
the insertion of plug between the
two, should have had metallic con-
nection with the ground; but there
was no such ground connection; and
consequently. although the plug hal
been carefully placed between the.
plates shortly before the accident. the
device was ineffective.-New York

GERMANY'S NEW TARIFFS.
Americans Regard Bill Bad for Ger
many and Our Country.

Berlin, July 27.-The Reichzanzeiger
publishes the new tariff law and GUS
tom rates. The bill stipulates that in
any new commercial treaties entered
into by Germany the duties shall not
be lower than marks, on rye 51h
marks on wheat, 8 marks on barley
md 5 marks on oats. Potatoes are
exempt. Most all vegetables, as well
as unpacked apples, will be free of
duty. Beef cattle will be charged %
marks, young cattle Is, calves 4, hogs
10 marks apiece. Fresh meats pay 80
marks per hundredweight, and pre-.
pared as table delicacies they will pay
I5 marks per hundredweight. All
fours, except oat flour, will pay 49,
marks per 100, while oat -four will
pay 16 marks. Wool will be admitted
free.
The opinion in commercial circles is
that American schedules are mon
strous, involving a great burden for
Germany's industrial and commercial
classes, together with serious injury
TO foreign trade. Americans in bust
ness in Berlin regard the bill as ex-
ceedingly bad for both Germany and
the United States.

MISTAKES OF RRIDEGRooMs.
One Married His Sister and Another
His Sister-in-Law.


Some time since bridal party APP
peared at the registrars office, Lang
port, and were ushered into the pres
ence of the official, who courteously
requested all save the two contracting
parties to be seated.
Having elected from the couple
standing that there existed no imped-
iment to their marriage, he proceeded
to call upon all present to witness
that they took each other for husband
and wife, and directed the groom to
place the ring on the brides finger.
AT this the young man awoke as from
a dream, and, pointing to one of the
witnesses, blurted or In the Somer-

1t was then discovered that he had
married his own sister, so the parties
were rearanged and the ceremony was
commenced afresh
Recently an obliging gentleman vol
unteered, with the consent of all
parties concerned, to take the place of
his brother whose banns had been
duly called. and who for some reason
was unable to keep the most import
ant appointment of his life. He did
SO, signing the register in his brothers
name, and thus inadvertently es.
poused his sister-in-law.
Last February two brothers, named
Emmerich and Francis Vous, married
two sisters. Katiza and Mary Rink.
The civil ceremony passed off without
a hitch, but at church the party got
rather mixed, so that each brother at
the conclusion of the service found

At the feast that Njllowed the brides

but when the time arrived he was sud-

fulfill his promise. Now the matter
will have to be dealt with by the
courts.
Julius Reinz, an Austrian, can
speak but little English, and when a
few months back he went with his be-
trothed to London registrars Office
to inquire whether his license and
other documents were In order, the
official, thinking that he wanted to
get married there and then, made the
twain one, the groom signing the mar.

that 1t was a preliminary formality.

mistake he returned to Vienna in dis.
gust and few days since procured an

MILK DROPS OFF

AT THE DAIRY SHooL OF THE

DUE TO THE DRoUTH
Two Types of Farmers and How
They Meet the Trying Experiences
of Dry Times-Dairy Graduates
in Tremendous Demand at Good
Wages.

Some idea of the effect which the
hot, dry weather of the past six
weeks has had on the COWS in the
vicinity of Madison may be obtained
from the following figures taken from
the daily milk sheet of the creamery
at the Wisconsin dairy school, The
milk received each week from the
80 farmers who patronize the
creamery daily is as follows:
Week ending Pounds of Milk

Quality Holds Up,

An examination of the test of the
milk brought to the factory each day
shows that it has been very slightly
affected by the decrease in the
quantity of milk. The composite
sample taken daily of all the milk
has tested 4 per cent. fat during the
month of June and up to the present
time in July. Only once or twice has
it gone down to 3.S per cent. fat, and
there has been no marked change in
the test yet on account of the drouth.
More milk has been received this
year at the dairy school creamery
than ever before. During the month
of June the farmers were paid over
500 per day for their milk. This
supply, which averaged over 10000
TBS. daily in June, is great help to
the faculty in giving practical in
struction and in making practical
experiments, as with it the in
structors are able to work under con
ditions similar to those in which the
students are placed when they leave
the school for their factories.
Students in Demand.
The demand for students has been
greater this year than at any previous
time. Every member of the last
class of 100 students is now working
in some creamery, cheese factory or
city milk supply establishment, and
still the dairy school has more ap-
plication for students than 1t can fill.
Since the first of January there
have been received 173 applications
from people wishing to hire butter
makers, cheese makers and men
capable of operating pasteurized milk
and cream plants. Prof. e. II.
Harrington now has several good
places where men are wanted but so
far as he knows there is not an adle
student whom he can supply at the
present time. The numerous letters
received indicate that little better
wages are offered this year than
formerly on account of the scarcity
OF good men. A recent letter asks
for a first class butter maker with
ample experience Wno Can earn 20"
per month during the entire year A
record is kept of all the applications
received and the faculty keeps in
formed about what the students are
doing after they leave the school.
This is found to be helpful to the
dairy industry and the wide acquain-
lance thus formed with men and

This shows loss of As per cent in
the milk received from the same
number of COWS from the same
farmers. There would naturally be
some shrinkage at this season of the
year as cows are not generally
coming to fresh during July. A loss
of nearly one-half of the milk in six
weeks, however, is much greater than
the decline in the period of lactation
would account for. The pastures are
as dry as race track and corn Is
not large enough to feed. A fairly
good hay crop and ground feed is the
only thing that is keeping the cows
alive just now. The following
figures show how the milk sent by

The experience of these two
patrons illustrates that difference
in the dairy disposition of the two
men. The figures show that the
weight of milk gradually decreased.
but on July 18TH Patron AS milk
dropped to 2SS pounds while the week
before he had brought 773 pounds.
The decline of Patron BIS milk was
only about 40 pounds on those two
days. Patron A got discouraged be-
cause his cows did not get any feed
in the pasture and thought it would
not pay to feed them hay and grain in
the barn, although he had a good
supply of both, and so he loads 20 OF
his cows on the cars and ships them
to Chicago to be sold for any price
he can get for them. Patron B is
going to keep his cows and feed them
some hay and grain right along until
the drouth is broken and thereby
save his herd. The course pursued
by each of these two men illustrates
two radically different systems of
dairying, and it will be interesting to
know which one of the two makes
the better showing at the end of the
yea-.
