PROGRESS OF The STRIKE.

Pittsburg, Aug. Tn the big steel
strike honors are easy in this section
tonight. The Amalgamated Associa-
ton succeeded in closing down the big
steel plant at New Castle, and the
manufacturers broke the strike at the
Clark mill in this city. Neither side
is exulting, nor is there any express
sion of Encouragement. Victory or
defeat of either at this early stage of
the warfare can have but little effect
beyond indicating the probable line
of battle to be pursued by each. Up
to this hour not the slightest trouble
has occurred at any point in this i'm
mediate territory, and Amalgamated
men are correspondingly happy be-
cause this condition would seem to
De the carrying out of the associations S
new departure in the handling Of
strikes. The quiet waiting of the
strikers may be one of the surprises
hinted at by the national officers.
From one or two points the strikers
are reported as restless and eager for
action. but so far have kept faith
with their sleaders and refrained from
committing any breach of the peace.
Recorder 4. N. Brown does not anti
cipate that there will be any disorder
in Pittsburg on account Of the steel
strike. If there should be disorder he
says it will be the duty of the bu-
reau of police to suppress it and arrest
al who are concerned in it.

GREAT FLOOD IN CHINA.
Terrible Destruction of Life in
Valley of Yang Tse---BeIieyed
Hundreds of Thousands
Will Perish.

Vicotria, B. c., Aug. Great
floods caused by the overhowing of the
Yang Use have caused the death OF
many thousands in China. The river
has risen 40 feet and for hundreds of
miles the country is great lake with
only tops of trees and an occasional
roof showing. At Anking the town is
flooded, some of the houses to their
roofs. At Kiu Kiang, the native town
is flooded and two feet Of water stands
in the foreign settlements. Lower
down the river towards Swu Hue, the
destruction was greater and boatmen
estimate that 20. 600 were drowned in
the district. Chong The was wiped
away by floods and 10000 drowned
there and many other points have been
inundated, invoving awful loss of life
and great destruction to property. 1t
is feared an embankment built by
Chong Cheh Tung near WI Chang
would break and cause the drowning
of thousands.

Negro Beast SavageIy Killed.
Burned at the Stake by lnfuriated
AIahamians.
NEGRO CONFESSED HIS GUILT.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. With
agonizing screams and his eyes bulg-
ing from his head, John Wesley Pen
nington, a negro, was burned at the
stake near Enterprise, Ala, this
morning before a crowd Of five hun
dred enraged citizens Of Coffee coun-
ty. The assemblage was composed OF
both whites and blacks, and although
the negro pleaded for mercy and fran
tically endeavored to break the chains
that tightly bound him, not trace OF
sympathy was shown on Ethe hardened
faces that peered at him through the
flames.
Pennington had committed an as
sault upon Mrs. j. @. Davis, the wife
of a prominent farmer of Coffee
County, and had confessed his guilt.
The crime was committed yesterday
afternoon while Mrs. Davis was
gathering vegetables in her garden.
AS soon as she regained her senses,
Mrs. Davis crawled to the house and
told her husband what had happened.
A large posse was quickly organized
and with bloodhounds they chased the
negro until early in the morning,
when be was captured in a swamp.
Pennington was bound hand and
foot and taken back to the Davis home
for Identification. Word of the assault
had been sent by runners for miles
around Enterprise, and every farmer
in the neighborhood left his plow to
Join in the search. Some of them were
foo late to ioin the pursuing party,
and went to the Davis home to await
their return. There is not telegraph
office in Coffee County, but the mes
sages travelled rapidly, and when the
posse arrived this morning with Pen
nington there were at least five hun
dred persons gathered near the Davis
residence. a great shout went up
when the prisoner was seen by the
crowd, but at signal the men with
drew to the woods and quietly awaited
the result of the meeting between Pen
nington and Mrs. Davis.
Mrs. Davis Immediately recognized
him and the negro broke down and
wept. He admitted having committed
the assault, and plead for mercy.
With cries of terror the trembling man
was dragged from Gue lIouSe dl!u 1IlCo
the woods where the crowd had gath
cred. Evidently expecting the confes-
sion, several of the citizens had drlv-
en- a stake in the ground, and as the
men appeared with Pennington both
whites and blacks were piling brush
wood around the iron pipe. The negro
saw his doom and, with screams of
terror fell to the ground in faint:
He was quickly revived and dragged
to the stake while the crowd stood
silently by.
The frightened man was limp, and
had to be held up while the chains
were fastened around his neck and
body. When all was ready the word
was given and the crowd stood back.
4 match was applied to the pile and,
with oil to feed upon, the tiny flame
soon burst into a roaring fire. The
terrified negro again plead for mercy
in agonizing tones, and prayed to God
that those around him might perish.
He then called upon his Maker for
forgiveness. A deathly silence envel-
oped the awful scene, and in a few
minutes the flames had done their
work.

OUTSIDE INFLUENCES WORK
ING FOR PEACE.

New York, Aug. THE CONNER
cial Advertiser says:
AS far as can be learned no commu-
nication has been received by J. P.
Morgan & Co., or by any OF the steel
companies from the labor leaders since
the conference of Saturday last
Peace, however, may not be far away
after all. 1t is learned that independ-
ent influences are as work which may
surprise everybody within the next
few DAYS Mr.. Morgan will not say a
word, but it is believed in some quar-
tiers that he has received important
communications from persons strong
enough to bring about settlement
before Shaffer's orders to strike take
effect. Those who know Mr.. Morgan
say he will welcome any move that
will hasten the end of the controversy
providing the fundamental objections
he urged on Saturday last are respect
ed. That something is being done in
the direction Of agreement is apparent
from the manner of the steel men here
and the course of the steel stocks on
the exchange
