Pittsbwg, Aug. l4,-Nojther side
moved decisively yesterday in the
gleat industrial conflict between en-
ployers and employees in the steel
trade and the result is stiu in the
balance. The strikers made gains at
Fittsburg, McKecsport, Wheeling and
Bellaire in the last twenty-four hours
but in the main the advantage is still
with the mill owners, Both sides
claim to be preparing moves that Will
bring confusion to the opponents, but
neither side has shown its hand. The
general situation last night can be
briefly summarized as follows:
Ten men quit at the Lower Union
mill of the Carnegie company in Pitts.
burg and Joined the strikers. Their
detection represented the first break
in the Carnegie forces. The Bollaire
plant at which the men struck Sun.
day, was finally closed down ycster-
day after working shorthanded until
afternoon. Several hundred boys en-
ployod at the National Tube works It
McKeespoYt went out during the night
and day and their action materially
aided the effort of the strikers to
finally tie the plant up. The works
are going ahead shorthaudcd but tho
ranks of the workers are thinning and
the supply OF material is limited,
The strikers made gains at Wheel
ing and the steel officials admitted
that the Benwood plant will be closed
down A break in the ranks of The
men who struck at Painters is eX-
pected. but the strike managers deny
one will occur. Another break is re
ported possible at New Castle. Tho /

small force at the Crescent Tho

ordered that the CHARTERS plant at |

vailed, although the steel officials as
sert there has been intimidation at
Wheeling, MCKeesport and Pittshurs. !
Both sides express confidence in the
ultimate result and are actively carry
ing forward their respective cam
paigns.

mated association leaves today for
Wheeling, where he will address the
strikers. The number of men out MS

roughly estimated Mt 10000 and on
three orders $4,000 The steel corpo-
ration held its ground at Chicago,

Carnegie group with the exception Of
the instance named. The strikers arc
considering plans for breaking the de-

what they plan to do has not been
made clear They are CHARGING some Of

and disloyaltv, and thore is a general
desire among the members Of the

Shaffer spent the day at headquar

receiving reports and issuing direc-
tons TO his followers throughout the
strike district. He was not inclined
to talk much for publication. Several
times during the day he expressed sat. |

The present great activity in

The present great activity in
prospecting for oil in different
parts of the country, especially in
the west and south west, suggests
that an oil boom is likely to take
place in the near future. In some
parts of the country it may rival a
mining excitement in interest, 1t
is not improbable that Colorado
will participate in the boom should
one occur, for the indications of
the presence of oil are as good in
this state as they are anywhere
else where the development has
not been more extensive. The
coming summer may see a genuine
oil excitement in Colorado as well
as in other parts of the country,
which will draw people to the state
as did the discovery of new mining
districts in the early days.

This government will make a
formal protest against the contem-
plated action of the powers to de-
mand the payment of $5Oo,OOO,OOO
indemnity by China, on the ground
y hat it is not only eXorbitant' but
that is all amount beyond the pow
er of China TO pay. This was de
cided at cabinet meeting this
week, and the protest will probably
go directly to the powers instead Of
to the representatives, in Pekin.
Under the circumstances with the
country upset and impoverished as
as a result of the Boxer troubles,
not to mention the new civil war
the Chinese government has on
its hands, to make such a demand
would be nothing more nor less
than robbery by the powers SIM
p'y because they have the power to
rob and could have only one result
the dismemberment of the Chin
ese Empire. This government
placed its own claims at $4,000,
coo, and has from the first insisted
that The total claims of all the pow
ers should not exceed S200,OO0,000
1t is understood that there was
some very plain talk at the cabinet
meeting, and that the good faith OF
some of the powers was questioned
OF course, if the powers are de
termined to rob China, this govern
ment cannot prevent it, but 1t will
certainly decline to be party tc

Colorado Mining Directory.

We have received word from the
G.. A. Wahlgreen Pub. Co., Denver,
that they are compiling a mining
directory of Colorado. The book
will contain between 800 and 600
pages, TX 10 inches in size. Every
mining company in the state, where
located, owners, managers, officers,
kind of mine, output, etc, will be
enumerated In fact, we have the
assurance of the publishers that
this directory will in every way
fulfill its mission. The information
is being procured by an intelligent
system of correspondence and
through the personal canvass of
competent representatives,, who are
travelling over the state for this
special purpose. Every possible
source of information will be taxed
to obtain reliable data for the book.
as the publishers assure us they
propose to spend the necessary
money, time and work to make this
directory thoroughly representative
of the mining industry of the state.
From an outline of its contents one
will readily see where this directory
will be of exceptional usefulness to
every one in any way allied with
mining. Complete details can be
had by addressing the publishers.

mildness which those who have not

possible at this latitude and alti-

next we may, with propriety, array
ourselves in straw hats and linens.
The recent abundant and heavy
snowfall will perform the mission
of starting the grass and trees and
plants of all kinds and to fill the
reservoirs, natural and artificial,
for summer use.

Singing, however, is the soldiers
greatest pleasure, and chorus singing
is a great feature in the Russian ar

Of songs an ordinary soldier knows is
beyond belief. Singing is encouraged
by the officers, and the men with the
best voices are especially rewarded.
Among illiterate people the singer will
always be able to exert great influ-
ence. One has hardly to see Russian
regiment on the march to understand
what moral power the singers can give
the soldiers.
According to the latest returns for
1901, the statistics for the Russian ar

Infantry, 900 battalions of foot, or

The Joponese Maid.

A Japanese maid is now an absolute
necessity to the society woman who
desires to be strictly up to date.
Prominent women in New York are
all adopting the idea, and they are
finding that the pretty Jap women can
attend to their wants far better than
the French maid, who for SO long has
been in such demand by the smart set.
There are several reasons why the
Japanese woman makes better maid
than the French, German or English
woman. In the first place she is the
most cleanly person on the face of the
earth, and that counts for whole lot.
Then she knows how to dress the hair
better than any Of her sisters and she
knows more little secrets which are OF
value in milady's boudoir than the
woman of any other nationality.

The Russian soldiers diet is largely
vegetarian. Favorite dinner dishes in
clude "stche"-a cabbage soup-pota-
toes. peas. beans, macaroni and vari-
Gus kinds Of porridges, eaten with on
ions and lard. Only half a pound of
meat is allowed each man daily, and
the Russian pound is ten per cent less
than in this country. Mushrooms are
consumed In great quantities when in
season. Three pounds of black rye
bread are included in the daily rations
and If any is left over the men are
at liberty to sell the remains. AS the
soldiers bread is very nourishing and
purer than the ordinary bakers, the
extra rations sell well. In the way of
drink, beer is too great a luxury for
him, so he quenches his thirst with
"qvas," a cheap substitute made from
fermented black bread. On high days
the soldiers are RECALLED with vodki
often at their officers expense.
Their games are of the most PRINT
tive character. Their greatest pleas
ures are singing, dancing and playing
on the "garmonika," musical instru-
ment like concertina or on the "bal-
