The sultan's bedroom was simplicity

scrolls on the wall-hluminated texts
from the Koran-a divan in corner,
bed on the floor in another corner,
narghileh on the floor, and a small inla!d
table of mother-of-pearl and walnut in
the center. The room was softly carpet

other door. Calverley lifted the curta n

The steel plant started Monday morning
with a diminutive force and succeeded In
making three runs during the day. There
was a Gordon of union men about the
plant who discovered, an association man
stated to a reporter, that men from
Wheeling had applied for work at the
plant, and If the reporter understood him
correctly, they were union men recreant
to their obligations and hence worse than
"scabs."
The Information at ten o'clock last night
was conflicting. From one source 1t was
stated that the plants had shut down for
the night from another came the an
nouncement that the plant was in partial
operation at that hour. A messenger has
been sent to see what is the fact.
Lateral IL O'Clock last night II was
learned by the reporter that one of the
three heats made during the day had
been chilled.
There are a large number of strange
men in the works who did not leave the
mill last evening They are scattered
through the different parts of the mill
and are apparently learning the ropes.
When the other men left the mill last
night they were counted by the reporter.
Forty-nine came out of the lower gate,
and it was stated by one of the men that
about the same number left the works by
the upper gate. This number did not in
clude the strange men mentioned, as they
remained in the mill.
1t was rumored that more men would be
run into the works last night and the
Amalgamated men are wondering where
they are coming from.
The idleness of this plant has caused
the Laughlin mill to shut down for lack
of bllets, as it gets its bilets from here.
T. j. Davis is on the ground looking
after the interests of the union men.

Another Account.

All eyes We're centered upon the steel
works yesterday morning. The hour had
come at which the company had an
nounced that they would start the mill
non-union.
The men, augmented by friends from
over the river, We're on hands before day.
light, and gathered in groups near the
entrances to the works to try and per-
suade those going to the works to return
home. They succeeded in getting num-
Der to do this, but several went in and
the works were finally started. The force
was not large enough, apparently. to do
very much work. Men who watched OPP
erations from the bank claim that but
two small heats We're made before noon
and that one of them chilled.
Vice President Davis
was seen late last evening and stated that
he was perfectly satisfied with the sit
uation. He claims the men have whipped
the company to a standstill. Continuing,
he said: 1.-THE company claimed that they
would have 175 of our men at work to-day.
To the best of our knowledge there were
but five of our men went back and four
of them quit before three O'clock leaving
but one deserter in the works and we
expect him to come out tonight. We have
taken off our picket force and will not
take any steps to prevent men from en-
tering the works. Groups of men that
may be near the works are not there by
our orders, but as individuals. Our men
are charged not to use force against any
one. Reports other than those coming di-
rect from the officers of the lodge are
not to be relied upon" Only a small num-
Der of men came out of the works at
quitting time. They were permitted to
pass the groups of watchers on the roads
without comment. 1t is said that the
company has large number of cots ar
ranged to sleep men within the works.
The company. too, claim to be satisfied
with the first days run. They claim men
enough to operate the mill on both turns
The outcome will be watched with great
interest. Momentous interests are at
stake on both sides Should the men lose
many of them will be compelled TO seek
work elsewhere. Should the company
lose, it is claimed that Mr.. Carter would
be asked to resign.

The situation at the De Armitt's mines

remains practically unchanged. It was

grateful. All the men are standing firm,

nurses noticed weakening heart &C

lapse. The end appeared to be at
hand. Restoratives were speedily ap-
piled and the physicians fought the
battle with all the reserve forces OF
science. Action was not immediate
and decisive. Digitalis and strychnine
were administered, and as last re-
sort saline solution was injected into
the veins.
A general alarm went speeding to
the consulting physicians and trained
nurses as fast as messengers, the tele-
graph and telephone could carry It.
The restoratives did not at once prove
effective and it was realized that the
president was In an extremely critical
