SCRAP OYER STEEL
Belief That the Strike Will End
This Week.
PITTsBURG CONFERENCE TO-DAY
Some Familiar Methods Followed
in Such Negotiations to Be
Abandoned.

Pittsburg, July "a more hopeful at
mosphere pervaded the headquarters of
both the steel combine and the Anal
gamated association to-day. AS the re-
suit of the preliminary conference be-
tween President Shaffer of the Anal
gamated association and Warner Arms,
representing the combines interests, last
evening. the Wellsville trouble, which
yesterday threatened to undo all that had
been done toward effecting a peaceable
settlement of the strike, was not re-
ferred to to-day, and everything pointed
to au amicable adjustment of all differ
ences at the general conference arranged
for next Thursday in this city President
Shaffer said he considered the questions
10 be discussed at the conference to be
most grave, and for that reason he
thought it best to call on the general
executive board composed of the highest
officers of the association instead of con-
sulting with the conferees who usually
meet to consider such questions. Said
President Shaffer:
Our board will meet the committee repre-
senting the combine in conference at the
Hotel Lincoln in this city Thursday morning
am now pretty well satisfied that the
trouble will be settled at this meeting There
seems to be a spirit of fairness prevailing
among those to whom have talked officially
on the subject. The meeting will be for the
signing of the scale for the mills as a whole.
1t is said the conference will, in this
case, be governed for the United States
Steel corporation by general officers and
not by any Of the operating officials of
the underlying companies. Should this
be the case, it will mark a decided de-
parture in the method of dealing with
labor questions with the Amalgamated
association
President Shaffer said the conference
on Thursday must be final, as the asso-
citation will not waste any more time.
He declared that there shall be no emo
promise, and nothing short of a COM
plete surrender will be accepted.

BY HIS OWN HAND
Suicide of Frederick ID. White, Son
of the Ambassadors.


Syracuse, N. Y. July 9.-Frederick D..
White, son of Andrew D. White, United
States ambassador to Germany, COM
mitted suicide last evening at his
home in this city. Prolonged and ex-
haustive nervous prostration was the
cause of his act.
Mr.. White had appeared in usual health
during the day, and had attended to mat
ters of business in the White estate. He
was also in the house with the servants
during part of the afternoon. Mrs. White
returned shortly after 5 o'clock and found
Mr.. White dead in the bath room. bull
let from rife had passed through his
brain, and death had been instantaneous.
No one heard the shot
Frederick D. White was the only son Of
Ambassador White. He was born in Ann
Arbor, Mich, Dec. Is, 1859. He was edu
Gated at Cornell university, and also in the
University of Berlin. He studied in CO.
lumbia law college, New York, from 1882
to 1884. In the latter year he was ad-
mitted to the bar at Binghamton, N. Y,
and afterwards practiced his profession in
this city. Much of his time in later years
has been devoted to the management Of
property owned by himself and his father.
DR.. Northrup says that young Mr.. White
was booked to sail on the steamer
Deutschland next Wednesday on a visit
to his father and in search of health.

Washington, July 9.-Things are in
nice mix-up here over the rescale of tim
Der on the White Earth reservation. There
has been a lot of talk about Logging
superintendent Farr and government rea-
sons for sending a new man into Mime
sofa to complete the work which he so
successfully inaugurated and carried for
ward for several months, but nobody
seems to have got at the real bottom OF
the case. The Indian Office officials here

OF Importance. But through other sources
have been able to round up true story
regarding Farr and his work and the part
that prominent Minnesota lumbermen, who
became Farr's enemies on account of the
unusual activity which he displayed dur
ing the rescale, have taken in bringing
about present complications.
To begin with, highly sensational
charges of a personal character have been
filed with the Indian bureau against Farr
1t is said here, but possibly on INSULT
cient evidence, that the Minnesota lum-
bermen who were directly interested in
White Earth pine last winter, had a trap
set for him into which it is said he
seems to have walked deliberately with
both feet.
At any rate, according to charges which

not quite so marked as in the previous
week in the central valleys, it was more

No seriously injurious. effects to crops
from this period of intense heat are re-
ported from the middle Atlantic states,
but from Texas northward to Nebraska,
including Missouri, Arkansas and por-
tions of Illinois, Kentucky and Tennes-
see, crops have suffered to a greater or
less extent.
The weather conditions on the Pacific
coast and in the plateau regions have
been favorable, although frosts caused
some injury in Utah and Wyoming on the
9Th. In Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Texas and Arkansas corn has been seri-
ously damaged by intense heat and dry
ing winds, although late corn in Kansas
is in fair condition.
The bulk of the crop in Nebraska and
Iowa has so far escaped injury except in
few southwestern counties in Nebraska,
where corn has been slightly injured,
while in southeastern Iowa it is threat
ened. In the states of the Ohio valley
corn has suffered no injury from heat,
and has generally made good growth, but
continues in need of cultivation in por-
tions of Ohio and West Virginia. Winter
wheat harvest is finished in Kansas, Mis-
souri, and in the lower Ohio valley, and
is in progress in the more northerly Sec
tions. Rains have interfered with har-
vest in portions of Ohio and West Vir-
ginia and reports Of injury by fly con-

has begun in Oregon, and wheat is ripen-

WE'VE LOTS OF DIAMONDS
More Precious Stones. In This Coun-
try Than Ever Before.

Washington, July "a report received
at the treasury department from George w
Mindil, the government expert at the New
York custom house on precious stones,
shows that during the fiscal year ended
June 80 last the aggregate value of pre-
cfous stones and pearls passed through his
office was $21, ,919,0 This amount largely
exceeds the total of any other year in the
history of the country and exceeds by over
$S,000,000 the entire importations of the
four years ended March, 1896. Mr.. Min
dii states that the placing of precious
stones in their rough or native state upon
the free list has established a new me-
chanical industry in America and now
nearly one-half of the precious stones sold
in this country are cut and polished here.
