STEEL STRIKE SITUATION.
NO PROPOSITION YET RECEIVED
 FROM OPERATORS.
People Declare Nothing Has Been Said to Them of Any Plan for Mediation or Arbitration-Are satis- fled With the Progress Made and Claim
 to Have Made Good All Their Promises as to ResuIts-SteeI Offi icials VIII Make
No Statements

Pittsburg, July 16.-The second strike day closes with the Amalgamat- ed officials in satisfied mood and claiming to have made good every promise as to results. On the other hand the manufacturers will not say word concerning the strike and refused to be quoted in any way. Repeated eff forts to secure statements from Presi- dent Corey of the American Sheet Steel company and General Manager Jenks of the Hoop company, have been met with the response that there was no change and nothing to be given out.
 The Amalgamated people say nothing has been said to them of any plan for mediation or arbitration and they will continue to carry out their programme as originally announced The closing down of the Clark mill and of the Mo- nesson sheet mill are looked upon as telling victories. But one tin mill, that at Monesson, and one sheet mill at Duncanville, remain at work. Persifer E. Smith of Pittsburg, district manager for the American Sheet Steel company, was at Wellsville this morning and made an address to the striking mill men. He told them that they had no grievance, that they were well cared for in the past and would be in the flu ture. The announcement that the Welsville mill will be started to-mor- row and started with nonunion men has given rise to no little speculation and uneasiness among the citizens there
 What the result will be of any at tempt to operate the Wellsville plant none of the Amalgamated people will predist All they will say is Tt cannot be accomplished" Wellsville is looked upon by both sides as an im- portant point and developments are anxiously awaited by all.
 The position of the Tin Workers Pro- tective association in the strike was settled to-day by the following tele- gram to the Leader: "Elwood, Ind, July 16-Our association is bound by an agreement with the company to work providing they live up to their contract. If the company introduce black plate worked by non-union men our men will be called out. The Amal- gamated people will have our full sup port if necessary"
 A letter was received to-day by the officials of the new United States lodge of the Amalgamated association from the Tennessee Coal and Iron company from Engsley, Tenn, in which it was stated that the company wanted 800 skilled workmen and would pay the highest wages. The plant is union and employs only union men.

 Bankrupt Si. Louis Firm,

St. Louis, July 16.-Sensational ad- missions have been made on the stand by Samuel A. Gaylord, senior member of the firm of Gaylord, Blessing & Co.,, which failed recently. Gaylord, who is one of the oldest stock brokers in the city, admitted at the hearing before Bankruptcy Referee Coles that the firm bod been practically insolvent for two years and had been doing business on funds secured from local customers. Deals wherein no stock ever changed hands, being a mere matter of book keeping in which the firm never forgot to charge up commissions margins and interest, were admitted by Gaylord, who told also of the employment of rel atives' names and the use of an insane mans name in the account. At the time of the failure they were short S15O,0OO in bonds, face value, and over six thousand shares of stocks in New York. It was admitted by the witness that the failure was due to their own speculation, by which they had hoped to pay off their indebtedness, estimated to have been nearly $200,000. As to the missing collateral, alleged to have been left with the firm by customers, attach ed to promissory notes, Gaylord admit ted that all had been hypothecated with banks as security for loans to the fllln.

MANY COLLIERyES TIED UP.
Strike of Stationary Firemen-Indi-
 vidual Operators Grant Demands.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 15.--The strike order of President Mullahay of the Sta tionary Firemen's association of Penn sylvania was promptly obeyed at 2 o'clock this morning when 900 mem bers of the organization in this section of the state refused to go to work. Most of the strikers are employed as firemen at the coal mines and their failure to report for duty caused near 1y all the collierieS in the northern an- tbracte region to suspend operations, throwing out of work, it is estimated, 30,000 men and boys. Some of the in- dividual coal operators conceded the de- mands of their employees on condition that the short hour day was not to hold if the men employed by the big com- panies did not get the same conces- sionS.
 The big coal companies, however re- fused to make any concessions. The officials claimed that the demands of the firemen were unreasonable, that they had received a 10 per cent in crease when the wages of the miners was raised last fall. and that the de- nands now made upon the companies was equal to 20 per cent. advance.

CHANGES ON THE coNs1IrUTIoN.
Sails to be Refitted-A New Gatf to Re-
 place the old One.

Bristol, R. l., July 16,-The Consti- tuition came up from Newport this af ternoon to reft in preparation for the annual cruise of the New York Yacht club in which she is to participate. The craft was anchored close to the boat shops in convenient place for loading her on the cradle in order to haul her out on the marine dock. She will have her underbody cleaned and polished while out of the water. Soon after the boats arrival the topmast was struck and is now telescoped into the main mast, this precaution being taken to diminish the windage on the spars when the boat is up on the railway at such a height
 The dampness of the past few days has been the cause of disturbing the set of the yachts sails to such de- gree that the mainsail which was bent only last Saturday and used yesterday and to-day is in such form that, after a consultation of MT. Duncan and the designer, the big canvas was unbent and carried ashore to the sail loft for an overhauling. Other smaller sails of the boat are to be sent ashore to be looked over.
 The Constitutions gaff was changed soon after the boats arrival to-day, the one just completed being taken on beard for use in the coming races and the old one put ashore. In the mean while the main mast was given a coat of paint and the boom is to be re touched tomorrow The Mount Morris came up with the Constitution to-day and is anchored close by her.

LIBERAL PARTY'S PLIGHT
LORD ROSEBERY ISSUES MANI
 FESTO ON THE DIVISIONS.
Takes a Gloomy View-Tho Difference of Opinion on Questions of First Im-
 portance Honest and Irreconcilable 0
 and He Can Sec no Favorable Issue - Believes the Country at n Great Crisis.

London, July 17.-Lord Rosebery has the liberal party. It is contained i'll a letter to the City Liberal club, which had invited him to deliver an address.
 He disclaims any desire to re-enter politics, but speaks out under the re- markabe charter" agreed upon by lib- eral members of the House of Commons of hearty and undisputed allegiance to the leader and complete liberty of ac- tion to dissent with regard to the one vital question before the country The liberal party can become power, he continues, only when it shall have maed up it's mind on the imperial questions which are at this moment embodied in the war.
 After asserting that ''the whole em- pire has rallied to the war he dis cusses the attitude of the liberal party What is the attitude of the liberal par ty?" he asks. Neutrality and an open mind? Now, I contend that this Is an impossible attitude, and spells impo- tence. No party can exist on such con- ditions."
 He declares that the difference would not cease to operate when the war is over, because statesmen who disasso- ciate themselves from the nation in great national question, such as the war in which we all strive to suffer together, disassociate themselves Tor much longer than they think
 He considers that the severance is sincere funda mental and incurable an- tagonism of principle with regard to the empire at large and our consequent policy"
 As there is this honest and irrecon- cilable difference of opinion on ques- tions of the first importance he can see no favorable issue.
 Lord Rosebery concludes with a gloomy touch Ut is a matter of sor- row and anxiety" he says, Ito see weak government faced by weaker opposition at juncture of foreign hos tility and international competition which needs all the vigilance, power and ability at our command,' He be- lieves that Great Britain is at a crisis which may have unlimited effects upon it's future.
