there was pathetic in the extreme.

streets were dense with people and

the broad entrance into the hall and

closed at midnight it was estimated
that $4,000 people had viewed the re-

Pittsburg, Sept. 16.-Matters pertain
ing to the settlement of the steel strike
are in a very unsatisfactory state.
While the Geographic notice was sent
out Saturday night by Secretary Will
Jams to all vice preside nts declaring the
strike at an end, 1t cannot be learned
definitely that the official order has
been issued by President Shaffer. Some
of the local strikers declare they have
no such notice and many of them say
they will not return to work, order or
no order, unless they shall be recOg-
nized as union men. President Shaffer
arrived horne at an early hour yester-
day morning but denied himself to all
callers. Last night his wife, in answer
to questions as to his whereabouts, said
he had received special letter calling
him cut Of the city. A member of the
advisory board said that the official
order calling the strike off has gone out
and that the men generally will be at
work to-day or within a day or two
later.

President,


President.
Manila, Sept. 15.-The profoundest grief
is manifested by every class in the COM
munity over the death of President Nc
Kinley. Gov. Taft has issued procla-
nation which explains to the Fiiipinos
that. while the death of Mr.. Mckinley is
an irreparable individual loss, it does not
alter the stability of the government Or
change the course of the administration.
This was considered necessary because
the Filipnos thought Bryan would sue
coed Mckinley, as Bryan received the
next highest number of votes in the cleo
toral college.
Flags were ordered to be at half-mast
for month, while all employees of the
civil government are to wear mourning
bands on their arms. All the foreign con-
suls, wearing their uniforms, called at
the residence Of Gov. Taft to tender their
condolences. Gen. Chaffee has ordered
that every officer and soldier in the archi-
pelago, whether in the field, in camp, in
garrison or in hospital, be notified.
