Pittsburg, Pa, July 1.-THE second
day of the conference between the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, and the steel
manufacturers came to close tonight
without an agreement having been
reached. Another session will be held
tomorrow and indications are a settle

upon. Although the meetings are held
behind closed doors and the proceedings
guarded with great secrecy, it is learned
that the entire day was given over to
discussion, each side putting it's best
foot forward to gain a point. Nothing,
however, was accomplished. When the
conference adjourned all of the con.
ferees were appealed to for information
as to the status of affairs, but nothing

today. No proposition was submitted

THE COLUMBIA AGAIN WINS.
But For an Accident Chances Seemed to Favor
the Independence.
(By the Associated Press

Newport r. l., July 12.-The Columbia
days race by a margin in corrected time
of minutes and 10 seconds, the Inde-
pendence being the last boat after losing
her topmast at the very start The Bos-
ton yacht, however, sailed such a re-
markably plucky race, after being shorn
of her top gear that it is generally be-
lieved here that she would have wone to-
days race but for the accident
For twenty minutes after the start she
sailed with the wreck of her club topsail
trailing astern, while for six minutes she
was motionless, luffed in the wind while
the crew cleared away the tangle. All
this time the other two yachts were
speeding along under all Sail, yet the
independence was beaten only seven
minutes and forty-two seconds at the
first mark, and sailed the second leg of
the triangle in less time than either of
the other yachts, although they carried
club topsails In the run home the two
Bristol boats under a great press of sail
beat the Lawson yacht a little over four
minutes i'm ten miles. The Columbia had
the better of both the reaches, but the
Constitution sailed the windward leg a
minute and half raster than the old
boat
The result of the four contests between
these three boats leaves much to be de-
termined, especially as to their relative
merits in any thing except light airs in
which the Constitution proved superior.
Today's race was sailed in a fifteen knot
wind, the NORTHEASTERN today being much
stronger than the Southwestern of yester-
day.

general strike which was set for last
Monday will proceed. I am still hoping
for settlement"
When asked if in the event of
strike if it would involve all the plants
of the United States Steel Corporation
Mr.. Shaffer replied, Every union man
in every plant in any way connected
with the steel corporation will be called
out"
A general strike, if ordered. would
include the union workers in the Fed

Company, the American Tin Plate
Company, the American. Sheet Iron

Company, and all members in non union

is believed by conservative steel men
that a compromise will be reached to-
morrow and strike averted. Presl-
dent Shaffer himself, while not stating
that he is prepared to initiate a compro-
Use, intimated that should one come
from the other side he would gladly
meet it half way, and concede anything
not compromising the interests of his
people.

MORE PEACE TALK

London, April lit Is semi-offi-
cially asserted here" says the Cape
Town correspondent OF the Daily Tele-
graph, that General Botha has had an
other interview with Lord Kitchener,
in which he Informed him that he had
seen General bet Wet, who still refuses
to entertain the idea OF surrender on
any terms. General Botha, however
regards De Wet as no longer responsi-
BILE for his actions, AMI seeks modus
vivendi on behalf Of all the burgher
forces"
The report that General Botha has
renewed the negotiations with Lord
Kitchener Is not yet officially conflrm-
cd, but It is generally credited and re
ceived with satisfaction except by the
ultra-jingoes, who fear thta the Gov
eminent will renew the terms recently
rejected.

Filipino Horrors,
All Manner Of Crimes.

A Philippine mail brings to theWar Dep.
artment the records in eleven cases wherein
Filpinos were tried by military commissions
on charges including murder, rape, kidnapp-
ing, assault and battery, burglary, andssvio
lation of the rules of war.
An especially notable case arose out of
the operations Of the famous oath-Lound
Filipino society called the "Sandataban.n =
The principal officers Of this society, next to
a triunvirate of chiefs, are chief executioner
and assistants, and requisite number Of
gravediggers, who participate in the SELF
appointed work OF the bands. The leaders
select their victim, capture, and carry him
away in the night to secret rendezvous on
a sandy beach covered with very tall grass,
where the diggers have already prepared
the grave. Here, in the presence of the as.
sembled band, helpless men and women
from time to time have been stabbed to
death and tossed into the graves. The mem.
bers of the band then dispense and trust to
the rise and fall of the water to hide the
evidences of their work.

The Spanish Caravg!S.

Among the spectacular features of the
Chicago Exposition were the three caravels
which were built in Spain on the lines Of
Coumbus's little ships. They were brought
to this country with much pomp ard cir
cumstance, escorted by one of our best
cruisers, and when they finally reached
Chicago they almost rivalled the Midway
in general popularity. 1t was supposed
that al the close Of the exposition they had
been turned over to the Field Columbian
Museum for preservation, hut evidently tee
authorities in charge Of that institution
thought they belonged TO some one else,
and the result has been that ever since the
fall of 1898 they have been moored in one
Of the lagoons, gradually assuming more
and more melancholy appearance.

Is Popular Government Sale?

The Supreme Court, in deciding the in
snlar cases, expresses the opinion that,
though the power Of Congress in our island
possessions is in many respects absolute,
there is no tear that injustice will be done,
because the people seil not allow it. Con-
gress is the creature of the people, .respoD.

there is no reason to fear anything like de

Gently, by vote of 4 to s. sustaiped Quay's

In these days of the encroachment OF

specially necessary that the people - TO whom
the courts refer the matter-should stand

themselves seem unable or unwilling to
