AT TER LAKE
SMUGGLERS

Milwaukee, July 18.-The Unitcd
States government through the treas
ury department is preparing for an
extensive raid upon the sailors and

this country from Canadian ports.
The first warrant was sworn to before

key from Port Arthur into Duluth.
A sailor On the Bon Ami is said to
have turned states evidence. Walker

DENIES IT

Manila, July 1S.-The investigation
into the case of Captain Andrew S.
Rowan of the 10Th infantry, charged
with burning town on the island of
Bohol, failed to prove Capt. Rowan
orderd the town to be burned. The
responsibility for the destruction of
the town has not yet been fixed. The
organ of the Filipino insurgents in
Madrid, the Filipinas Antes Europa,
published in that city, printed the or
der from Aguinaldo dated Palanan, in
January, which directs the execution
of all American prisoners. When
questioned about the order yesterday,
Aguinaldo said to the Associated
Press that he had always been con-
siderate of prisoners and denied the
authorship of the order in question
He claimed that any orders issued by
1nsurgent military officers in his name
were without his sanction. The
American military authorities have
documentary evidence dated Novem-
Der, 1899, to the effect that the insur-
gent leaders contemplated creating q
Philippine monarchy and nobility.

FOSBURG CASE
DRAGS SLOWLY

Pittsfeld, July 20.-The Fosburg
manslaughter trial dragged along
slowly yesterday. The first bit OF
testimony Of a sensational nature was
the statement of DR.. Paddock, medi
cal examiner, to the effect that little
Beatrice Fosburgh, who will be gov
eminent witness told him she had
seen no burglars at all. although she
was behind her sister May when the
latter fell. Another feature was the
emphatic statement of DR.. Draper,
gun expert, to the effect that the shot
which ended the life of May Fos-
burg was held not more than eight
inches from her breast
There were a number of witnesses
for the government who testified yes
terday but those from whom the most
was expected proved rather disap-
pointing. The court adjourned until
Monday and District Attorney Ham
mond stated afterward that he ex-
poets to rest his case Monday night.

TALK ON TREATIES
LORD PAUNCEFOTE HAS SEW
ERAL IN HAND.
WITH THIS GOVERNMENT
Chiefly Concerned With Nicaragua
Canal and West Indian Reel procity
Arrangements Holds
Out Hope for Closer Trade ReIa-
tons With Canada.

London, July 1S.-Lord Pauncefote,
British ambassador to the United
States, made the following statement
last night to the Associated Press:
Il am having conferences with Mar
quis Lansdowne not only about Mica
ragua, but also with regard to half
dozen treaties pending between Great
are chiefly concerned with West In
dian reciprocity arrangements"
When asked if he thought there
was any possibility of arriving at an
agreement regarding the Nicaragua
canal before congress reconvened, he
replied: Yes, l sincerely hope so.
When l return to the United States,
in October, 1 hope to take with me 4
Nicaragua treaty that will meet the
views of both President Mckinley and
the British cabinet"
Continuing, Lord Pauncefote said:
81 see the Boston chamber of COM
merce has petitioned for reciprocity
with Canada This | regard as a most
hopeful sign. 1t will be one of my
aims when 1 return to the United
States to foster this desire for a
closer commercial relationship be-
tween the dominion and the United
States.
I'm spite of the attitude of Canada
toward New Foundland, and in spite
Of trade difficulties in both Canada
and New FOundland in dealing with
the United States. l by no means de-
spair of effecting some sort of reci-
procity scheme, which, when the Mica
ragua matter has been justly and am
icably settled and the West Indian
treaties have been arranged, will
bring Great Britain and the United
States to an even better basis Of COM
mon understanding than exists to-
day"

American Fisheries society. The for
mer spoke on the propagation of FISH
and the latter on deep sea soundings.
Mr.. Titcomb illustrated his talk with
views showing the capture of the par
ent fish, the stripping of the eggs, the
Matching and culture Of fry, various
methods in use, using the trout, sal
mon and cod as illustrations.
Prof Townsend illustrated deep sea
work particularly with reference to
the Albatross of the United States,
with which boat he worked last year,
in fact one of the best dredging ap-
planes in use is his invention. With
the party was DR.. AgassiZ, president of
several of the largest lake Superior
mining companies. He described the
surface life of the ocean and how the
myriads of almost invisible dead ami
mails fall constantly through the water
to the greater depths, affording food
for the bottom animals. On the con-
tinental slopes, he said, there is life all
the way to the bottom, but in the eX-
tremey deep places it is probable that
there is nothing between the surface
life and that which abounds at the
bottom. Prof Townsend thinks that
many forms believed to be extinct may
be found at the bottom or in the
depths and he thinks that sea mon
ster is not an impossibility though
present appliances render the dis
covery of such most improbable. How
ever, he thinks science will get after
them.

NON-UNIONISM
is ENDORSED
SPEECHES AND RESOLUTIONS IN
ITS FAVOR.
EXPRESSED BY WORKERS
But at Big Gathering at Mckeesport
Opposite Action Is Taken-Other-
wise Situation Regarding Great
Strike Remains Unchanged-Many
Mills Still Running.

Pittsburg, July 21-The first week
Of the steel strike ended yesterday in
this district with two big meetings,
one endorsing non-unionism, the other
condemning it. The first was held at
Vandergrift in the afternoon where
the sentiment of the workers of Van.
dergrift, Leechburg, Apollo and Salts
burg plants of the American Sheet
Steel compny was expressed in
speeches and resolutions. More than
1900 men attended the gathering
Speeches were made by prominent
mill workers endorsing non-unionism
and declaring loyalty to the company
When the speechmaking concluded,
the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
whereas, there is, at present,
trouble existing between the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers and the American Sheet
Steel compny, which has arisen by
reason of said association demanding
that all non-union mills be organized
into union, which demand we do not
endorse, therefore, be it
Resolved, that we hereby express
loyalty to the managers of the Amer
lean Sheet Steel company. During
the years we have worked for the
said company we received only the
fairest treatment at their hands; our
wages have been entirely satisfac-
tory. We ask to be permitted to work
non-union, as we have been doing
since 1898. We feel no labor union
can make our condition any better or
more honorable than it is at present,
since we are subject to no one mans
dictating"
The meeting at McKeesport was di-
ametrically opposite to the Wander
grift gathering in it's object and
action. 1t was held in Whites opera
house under the auspices of the Anal
gamated association and was adj
dressed by several prominent officials
of the association, principal among
whom was President Shaffer. The
hall was crowded to the doors and
much enthusiasm evinced.
Shaffer counseled the men to re-
main away from saloons and claimed
if the men remained loyal the strike
would soon be won. Great cheering
followed the conclusion of his re-
marks.
Manufacturers claim to be we'll sat
isfed with developments Of the week
as there are still in operation non
union mills at Vandergrift, Chester,
Duncansville, Old Meadow, Salisbury,
Scottdale, and the tin plate mill at
Monessen All these mills, they say,
have large capacity and are running
full.

Washington, July 1S.-Postmaster
General Smith yesterday signed three
orders amending in important partic-
ulars three postal regulations affect
ing second class mail matter. The
changes effect sweeping and radical
reforms in practices and methods Of
treating this class of matter.
The first order amends section 276
so as to exclude from second class
publications which have the charac-
teristics of books. The second order
amends section 2S1 in several particu-
lars, the principal one being that pub
LEGATIONS, subscriptions to which
are not founded on their value as
news or literary journals, and which
by the general use of premiums or
other considerations in the form Of
chances to win prizes, ETC., induce
subscriptions in effect to circulate at
apparently nominal rate. will be ex-
cluded from second class. The third
order amends section sol so that I'M
sold copies of second class publica-
lions may not be returned at pound
rates to news agents or publishers.
The explanatory statement given
out at the department regarding the
order says: "The action of Postmas-
ter General Smith is regarded as
highly important. 1t is evidence Of
the purpose of the department to adj
minister the law as it is. strongly and
and that abuses wherever
found must be eradicated. The loose
and Indifferent Interpretation hereto
fore has been responsible for the loss
of many millions to the government.
It is believed when the effect of these
changes are thoroughly established
many postal improvements will follow
and one cent letter postage be made
possible"

ALAbAMANS
EXCITED

Montgomery, Ala, July 2O.-An ex-
citing scene occurred yesterday in the
constitutional convention over the
disposal of a resolution protesting
against free passes being accepted by
state officers. Former Governor
Jones protested against the tabling of
the resolution and appealed from the
decision of the chair. President Knox
ordered Jones to take his seat until
the question could be stated. The
former governor refused and asked II
his appeal was going to be put.
Chairman Knox, amid great excite
ment, directed the sergeant at arms
to remove Jones from the hall. Jones
passionately exclaimed: eff anyone
attempts it, it will be done over my
dead body"
AS the sergeant approached, Jones
drew a small pocket knife but did not
open it, then finally sat down. The
chair put the appeal and was over
whelmingly sustained. Mutual ex-
plantations followed and good feeling
was restored.
