LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
Town vita 10000 Inhabitants and
400 Business Houses Springs
UP Within a Night.

Fort Sill, Okla, Aug. 5.A town of
10000 people, to be known as Lawton,
has grown up just outside the fort
limits, within a night. Following the
close of the land lottery Thursday at
El Reno, thousands of homeseekers
who drew blanks started for the three
points picked out by the federal gov
ernment for town sites in the new
country, namely, Anadarko, Hobart
and Lawton. A majority of the people
favored Lawton, which is 25 miles in
land, and now thousands are camped
in and about the proposed town site
awaiting the sale of lots on August 6.
Already Lawton has 400 temporary
business houses, including grocery
firm and a newspaper, and three
streets have been laid out. A national
bank has been projected. Every form
of gambling known on the frontier is
being run wide open, side by side with
fake shows of various descriptions,
and to add to the picturesque scene a
thousand Comanche Indians have
pitched their tents near by.

Drive CoIored Men Out.
Cleveland, o., Aug. 5.-As a result
of the report that negroes are being
brought into the city to supplant
white workmen in the Newburg mills
of the United States Steel corpora
tion, the idle plants are now being
picketed by members of the ANAL
gamated associa ton. Five plants are
now idle, the company having recent
ly closed down the 9, 10 and ls-inch
mills, for the announced purpose of
making. repairs.
The pickets late at night found a
dozen colored men asleep near the
Newburg mills. Upon being aroused
the negroes declared they had no in
tention of going to work. They were,
however, unable to give a good ac-
count of themselves. They were ad-
vised that their presence might cause
trouble, and that they had better
leave the city at once. The colored
men lost no time in getting cut of
town.
Local Amalgamated leaders declare
they have received reliable informa-
tion to the effect that an attempt
will be made by the steel corporation
to start the 8, IL and 15-inch Newburg
mills Monday. The union men say
they will do everything possible to
prevent this, unless a settlement Of
the strike shall be reached in the
meantime

New York, Aug. 5.-Despite the de-
malls of officials Of the Standard Oil
company that there is race between
the Acme and the Brilliant, two ships
that have started for Yokohama, with
loads of oil, everybody in shipping cir
cles is convinced that each skipper will
try to outdo the other. The Brilliant

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-The United
States transport Lennox was towed
into San Francisco harbor by the
steamer Iaqua, coasting vessel,
which picked her up. The United
States tug slocum was sent out on
Thursday to search for the Lennox,
word having been brought to this
city that the vessel had broken her
shaft on July 25 when about 800 miles
from port. The Slocum has not been
reported and is doubtless still search

A Night of Anxiety.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 5.-A McKees-
port dispatch says: Friday night.was
a night of anxiety and unrest through
out McKeesport and the excitement
was very noticeable among the strik-
ers. The patrols were doubled and
messages from the Amalgamated
headquarters were expected at any
time. During the early evening con-
fidence was expressed that a general
strike would be ordered and that the
tube workers would be thrown out of
work by the closing down of their roll
ing mills. A furry of excitement was
caused by the story of the two men
who tried to rent house to quarter
men who would be brought to break
the strike at the Demmler mill of the
American Tin Plate company. Several
patrols spent most of the night in
looking for the men, who had disap-
peared, and still another crowd kept
inreadiness the material necessary for
a coat. of tar and feathers. An organ
izer for the American Federation of
Labor was expected here Saturday
night and lodge was formed among
the tube workers during the day. The
place and hour of the meeting were
kept secret, but the leaders announce
that $50 men were taken in at the
meeting

The Finish.

Then came the great trial, for as
Cresceus turned into the stretch, the
bitter wind beat him in the face and
held him back by force. For the frac-
tion of d second he seemed to falter,
but his drivers voice was in his ears,
and on he came. With that indomita-
BILE courage which makes him what
he is, he plunged in toward the finish
with unweakened stride, and, in spite
of WEAKNESS and the buffeting of the
breeze, flashed under the wire a win
ner against time. But for the wind
against which Cresceus struggled. it
is believed that his time would have
been second faster. 1t was the
most wonderful mile ever trotted on
any track.

Great struggIe Begins.

On the fifth score Ketcham nodded
for the word, but Cresceus was not in
his stride, and he pulled up at the first
turn to try it again. Down to the
wire he rushed, the runner two lengths
behind, and this time it was a go.
Gamely facing the breeze, the cham
pion started on his journey, moving
with apparent ease and at his great
est speed. The runner caught him at
the quarter, and a sigh went up from
the breathless throng, as the time
went up, quarter of second less
than 80. Now the wind was at his back,
and, realizing the advantage, Ketcham
kept him at his great clip. The half
mile pole was passed in 59A seconds,
a record never before attained, and
ere the second runner caught him up
Into the far turn and around it, the
great stallion thundered, his mighty
muscles and machine-like stride carry

Wild Enthusiasm Is Displayed by

Columbus, o., Aug. S. Cresceus,
champion of the trotting turf, added
more laurels to his fame Friday, by
trotting a mile in 2:0214, reducing by
half second his week-old record of
2:02A, made at Cleveland last Friday.
The first half was trotted in 59A the
first time that the distance has been
covered in less than one minute by a
trotter. The time by quarters was
2ea, 5es4, 1901 and 2:02A Only a
stiff wind blowing directly up the
stretch kept him from stepping faster
than 2:o2. More than 10000 people
journeyed to the driving park. at

ever foaled in action.

out for the last time in 2:15k. He evi-
dently had great power in reserve,
and the vast throng waited patiently
for the great test. 1t was evident
that the wind would not decrease be-
fore dark, and at $40 the stallion was
brought out. for the last go. Tim

Special Conference at New York

ALL AMALGAMATED OFFICIALS PRESENT.
Proposition Made by Morgan and

Present at Saturdays Conferences.

New York, Aug. 5.-The steel strike
conference held here Saturday be-
tween the entire executive committee
of the Amalgamated ass ociation, which
came to New York in a body Friday
night for the purpose, and the officials
Of the steel combine failed to arrive at
an agreement. The proposals made
by j. Pierpont Morgan and Charles M.
Schwab through President Shaffer
and Secretary Williams, of the Anal
gamated association, one week ago,
are still open, but the strikers repre-
sentatives showed no inclination to ac-
cept them. The representative of the
strikers left the conference at which
they have failed to agree with the an
nouncement that they would go into
secret session themselves later in the
afternoon. It was admitted that there
might be action at that meeting which
would change the situation.
Would Make No Concessions.
At the conference Of Saturday morn
ing Messrs. Morgan and Schwab in
sisted upon the acceptance of the terms
offered by them Saturday last. Presi-
dent Shaffer and his associates de-
manded further concessions on behalf
Of the union. Neither side would give
in and the conference disagreed and
parted, leaving the situation practic-
ally unchanged. President Schwab
went from the conference to the Office
of J. p. Morgan, where he was closet
ed for time with Robert Bacon. He
would not discuss the conference or
the strike situation.

strikers D efied by Plucky Woman.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 5.-A Wells
vile co.. dispatch says: Deeply en-
ragged by being outwitted by the mill
officials, who Friday afternoon sue
ceeded in running nine new mill work
ers into the mill, the strikers became
desperate and asserted that no more
accessions must be made to the mill
workers. Accordingly more than 100
of them guarded both entrances to the
mill all night. They made extra effort
to be vigilant when the midnight train
from Pittsburgh came to town, but
were unable to locate any more strike
breakers. About two o'clock Satur-
day morning they went to the house
of a mill worker named Harry Philips.
Philips wife boards three of the men
who came here few days ago to work
at the mill. The strikers pelted the
house with stones, breaking nearly
all the windows, and demanded that
the mill men who were boarding
there come out. Several shots were
fired with revolvers by the men, but
no one was hurt. Mrs. Philips is a
PluSh5 woman, anu, dIlISu Will q
gun, she went out into the crowd of
strikers and dared them to touch her.
She then took the men who were board
ing with her, including her husband,
to the mill, she walking beside them
with a loaded revolver in her hand,
and at the same time daring the strik-
ers to interfere. She got the four men
inside the mill and then turned and put
the mob, as she calls them, to rout.
She says that she knows many of them
and will have them arrested
Some interesting developments are
looked for before Monday. The plant
is now running five of its mills, four of
them double and one, of them single

circumstances also result in an adverse
showing in the exports of the fiscal year
up to this time The exporters to the
Hawaiian Islands have refused since
those islands became part OF the
United States, to furnish to the collect
ors OF customs the. usual statements OF
exports, and as a result the bureau Of
statistics is unable to make any report
OF the exports to the Hawaiian Islands
which presumably amount to more than
S15.0O0,00O per annum. as they had reach
ed that sum prior TO annexation, and
were showing rapid increase~when the
reports terminated. This Will cause the
exports to Oceanic to fall fully $15s000,-
600 below the actual amount, since the
existing law provides no method by
which exporters can be required to fur
nish a statement Of their exports from
one port of the United States to another.
Other circumstances are causing the
figures Of our exports to Japan to fall IN
preceding year. This Is due entirely to
the fact that Japan imported such large
quantities Of cotton from the United
States in the fiscal year 1900 that she
requires but little at the present time,
and our exports Of raw cotton to japan
in the Z months ending with January,
1901, amount to only 552O.S65 pounds.

than SIS, 000, 600 I'm the single item of cot
ton exports to Japan.
These three peculiar circumstances
the reduction of exports to China by
more than so per cent; the IeductiOn of
cotton exports to Japan amounting to
over $1,000 900 in months time, and the
inability of the bureau of statistics to
present the figures Of our exports to
Hawaii, which have doubtless amounted
during the months Of the fiscal year
to nearly $40. 200. 000-nust have mark
ed effect upon the export figures to Asia
and Oceania. and it is moi surprising
that the figures Of the bureau of sta
tistics show an apparent reduction of
SIS, 900. 600 in the total exports to Asia
and Oceania in the Z months ending
with January, 1901, as compared with
the months ending with January. 1900
when China and Japan were taking their
full quota and when the exports to the
Hawaiian Islands were being recorded.
