Report from the New York End.
A dispatch from New York says that
formal negotiations for a settlement of
the great steel strike were opened there
Saturday at conference between
President Shaffer and Secretary Will
iams, of the Amalgamated Association,
and j. Pierpont Morgan and group of
his associates, of the United States
Steel Corporation. 1t was believed
that substantial progress toward an
agreement was made and that formal
announcement of the compact for peace
would come within few days. The
Conference resulted from several days
of preliminary discussion, all of which
was kept secret. A representative Of
the Amalgamated Association was at
New YORK on Friday and ,Yas given
long interview by an official OF one of
the companies forming the United
States Steel Corporation. The confer
ence Of Saturday is believed to have
s5coeep practically arranged at that time.
ShaffeR. apd Williams slipped quietly
out Of Pittsburg and were in New
York several hours before hint Of
their presence reached the public.

President Shaffer and Secretary
Williams returned from New York
yesterday morning. They left the me-
fropolis at $50. o clock Saturday night,
after an eventful day. They had spent
many hours in conference with the
leading officials Of the steel trust, and
came home with hopes for an early
ending of the present contest. In
Pittsburg little was known of the con-
ference, but the greatest interest in the
outcome was shown among the manu-
facturers. Secretary Williams was
found at his home last evening. He
was courteous and promptly admitted
that he had been with President Shat
fer in New York and had seen j. p.
Morgan, but as to what had taken
place there he said with firmness that
he was pledged to secrecy and could

DEMAND FAIR PLAY.
Maryland SENATOR and Representatives
Aroused Over Schley.

| Aroused Over Schley.
Baltimore, Nd, July 29.-Admiral
Schley being a native of Maryland,
the senator's and congressman from
this stateAare expected to take the
leading part in forcing congressional
investigation of the whole Santiago
affair and the part the navy depart
ment has played In the anti-Schley
cabal. Every member of the Mary
land delegation takes the ground that
the Maryland officer has been made
the victim of rank injustice If nothing
worse, and all are preparing to bring
the matter before congress as soon as
1t eOnvenes should the admiral not be
INDICATED by the court of inquiry.
Congressman Schirm, the new men,
Der from this city, was the first to ex-
press himself on the subject and he
is now preparing a resolution prOvid-
ing for an investigation of the whole
West Indian campaign by congress.
IL want it understood" said Mr..
Schirm, that my resolution is not in
spired in any spirit of vindictiveness
against Admiral Sampson. / simply
want congress to get at the facts in
the West Indian naval compaign. If
the charges which Maclay makes
against Schley are true, then the navy
department has been derelict in eXecut-
ing the laws made by congress, and no
excuse can JUSTIFY the navy depart
ment for failure to court-martial
Schley."
The two senator's, while not close
together on any other subject, stand
side by side in demanding fair play
for the Marylander In the last ses-
sion Of congress Senator McComas at
tempted to end the controversy by in
Producing bill providing for making
both Sampson and Schley vice admir-
ais, and the measure had fair chance
of passing when SIMPSONS now ia
nous Gunner Morgan letter set the
country agOg and nothing could be
done owing to the popular antagOnism
to Sampson. Senator Wellington has
said within the past few days that he
proposes to continue his fight to secure
justice for Schley.
Washington, July 29-Secretary
Long has issued the following general
order: "All persons i'm the naval sery-
ice are strictly enjoined to refrain
from any public statement concerning
the subject matter of the court of in
quiry requested by Rear Admiral,
Schley"

NEW MAINE IS AFLOAT
Champagne Used to Christen the Prohib
ton State Namesake.

Philadelphia, July Outstanding on
the platform built up alongside the bow
of the battleship Maine, as the great
hull began to slide into the sea from
the ways in the Cramp ship yard, Miss
Mary Preble Anderson broke bottle
Of wine on her steel stem and said
II christen thee Maine" Thus the
christening fluid used on the ship
named for the prohibition state was
that which is the pet aversion of the
laws of that state, and /. may be that
Neal BOWS spirit was vexed If he
knew what was going on in this mum
dane sphere.
The state Of Maine was officially rep
resented by Governor Hill and men,
bers of his staff. From Washington
came Rear Admirals Bradford, Mel
vile and Walker, Lieutenant Com
mander Bailey, Captain Leary, former
governor of Guam, and a number Of
bureau chiefs of the navy department.
The ship is much larger and will be a
knot an hour faster than the one that
came to such terrible end in Havana
harbor, and she is a little more than
half done and will cost $3,0OO.OOO.

The squirrel Hunter. Weapon.

The cream of squirrel hunting is en-
joyed by the man who uses light rife
of small caliber and medium power.
The 800 long" as now turned out by
our leading makers Is an excellent
weapon-in fact. the best in the world
for the purpose. Though not Of suffi-
cient range to be dangerous to people
or stock at distance, it throws lead
with surprising accuracy to the tops of
the tallest trees. Good rifle shots al
ways aim for the squirrels head both
to add to the difficulty of the sport and
to avoid spelling meat. And be 1t
known that squirrels head at range
Of 40 or so yards is no easy mark. IL

Story of the Killing of Wounded British
at Vlakfontein.

London, July 27.-The Daily Mail
publishes Lord Kitchener's official re-
port regarding the Vlakfontein affair,
which is as follows: Lieutenant w.
s. b. Duff has given me the following
information: On the day after the
fight at VlakfOntein, May 20, Lieuten-
ant Hearn told him that while lying
on the ground wounded he saw, about
twenty yards from him, Lieutenant
Spring and Sergeant Findlay, both
slightly wounded. They were binding
up each others wounds, when a young
Boer came up and shot both dead.
Lieutenant Hearn lay quite still. The
Beers, thinking him dead, contented
themselves with taking his spurs and
leggings.
Lieutenant Hearn also said that
Others of our wounded were shot by
Beers. Lieutenant Duff collected the
testimony Of eight privates and nom
commissioned officers, who affirmed
that they saw Beers shoot our wound
ed. Several Of the men saw Boer,
evidently some one in authority, trying
TO stop his men from shooting our
wounded" Lord Kitchener has wired

Golf In the Old Days.

Centuries back golf was pastime of

eldest son. Henry. frequently played
and on one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor with club, where
upon he coolly remarked, Had l done

SIGNALING TO MARS.
The Dimculty of Doing So by Means
of Light.

The Difficulty of Doing So by Means
of Light.
The very largest city that this earth
has ever known would be altogether
too small to be visible to being
dwelling on the planet Mars, even il
that being were endeavoring to see 1t
with a telescope as powerful as the
greatest and most perfect instrument
in any observatory on this globe.
If the whole extent Of Lake Superior
was covered with petroleum and IL that
petroleum was set on fire, then, / think,
we may admit that an inhabitant of
Mars who was furnished with a tele-
scope as good as that which Percival
Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able
to see that something had happened.
But we must not suppose that the
mighty confagration would appear to
the Marian as a very conspicuous OBJ
ject. 1t would, rather be very small
feature, but still think it would not
be beyond the reach of praeticed OBJ
server in that planet.
On the other hand, if an area the size
of Lake Superior on Mars was to be
flooded with petroleum and that petro-
leum was to be kindled, we should ex-
pect to witness the event from here not
as great and striking conflagration,
but as q tiny little point Of just dis.
cernible light. The disk Of Mars Is
not large object, and the confagra-
ton would not extend over the three
hundredth part of that disk.
1t is sufficient to state these facts to
show that the possibility Of signaling
to Mars is entirely beyond the power Of
human resources.-Sir Robert s. Ball

The Queer Mistakes That Are Some

l
| We smile as we read and pass swiftly
by the stories Of maidens that wander
in 'ionely woods" at unearthly hours
of night, always clad in "a soft, white
clinging gown" Now, every girl knows
| that the average maiden is too much
afraid of tramps and snakes to wander
In lonely woods" The weather, too,
appears to perplex our novelists, for
not infrequently they begin chap
ter at dawn there are a few mo-
ments' conversation, and then the 'sun
sets in lurid banks behind the distant
empurpled mountains
l am reminded at the outset of an
repute where the heroine in one scene
was made on one page to stoop down
and tie her shoestring, while three
pages farther on, directly following, it
was said of the same girl that she had
remained barefooted the entire day. In
another story a blind woman is made
to view the hero through spectacles be-
fore the tale is ended.
