PITTSBURG, Aug. Pit is learn

members of TIE Executive. Committee
of the Amalgamated Association, in
viting their approval of the peace
plan agreed upon last Saturday by
the representatives of the National
Civic Federation and the Amalgamat-
ed Association headquarters officials.
The plan proposes:
First-That the New York offer OF
July 9th made by Messrs. Schwab
and Morgan be accepted. This pro
vides that the tin-plate mills resume
under the scale signed for the year
beginning July 1st; that the hoop
company sign for all mills signed for

last year, except Old Meadow and
Salisbury.
Second-That a provisional scale
be arranged, but not signed, for

Corporation formally declare its atti-
tude toward organized labor, this
declaration to take such form as will
have a reassuring effect upon the men
in the mills.
President Shaffer assented to these
propositions and is now awaiting the
result of a vote by mail. If approved,
the Civil Federation people will en-
deayor to secure an audience with the

Practically the only other signifi-
cant event in the strike today was the
positive stand taken by the American
Tin Plate Company Interference to its
course in the future. An official
statement from this company today
denies that there are any negotiations
on foot looking to a settlement of the
strike, and authorized the statement
that the mills that are put into opera

tinued non-union. and all men going

missioner at this port. today received adj
vices from Washington that the Japanese
government intended shortly to authorize
a new system of wholesale immigration
to Hawaii and the United States. A few
days ago the japanese minister at Wash

the officials of the Bureau of immigration
and informed them that the japanese
government intended at once to change
its recent policy of restricting immigra-
ton from the land of the Mikado. Ii
proposed Immediately to allow large
number to leave as laborers on the sugar
plantations in Hawaii and later for the
United States.
The Japanese minister was informed at
Washington that no contract system could

AT the. beginning OF the troubles in
China more than year age the Jap
anese foreign Office. which has entire
charge Of the matter. issued a decree
forbidding the laboring classes ieav-
ing japan Il was understood at the
time that this was done TO check the
friction with the people of the United
States incident TO the preceding whole
sale immigration of coolies into Hawaii
Just at the period American sentiment
was becoming so aroused over the
large shipments of Japanese to
Honolulu that the subject was on the
verge Of becoming a diplomatic one.
japanese Of Honolulu have for some
time been hearing from Yokohama and
Kobe that the foreign Office was about
10 let down the bars again. Peace In
the Orient. ana the fact that there can
be no more assisted immigration into
Hawaii are presumed TO be the ruling
influences in this departure. 4 mem
Der OF the Toxic immigration Company
states that 5000 japanese lacorers are
waiting in Kobe alone to come TO Ha-

ending December 81, 1872, although
the auditors report of the state debt of
December 81, 1870, did not show any
of these obligations outstanding"
Errors ware also made during the
period of Liberal Republican control,
running from January !, 1871, to De-

Among these may be noted the fol-
lowing:

thai there was no loss to the state by
reason of these errors in bookkeeping

follows.
