Pittsburg, July 29.-Pittsburgers gener-
ally express their delight in the anticipa-
tion of settlement of the strike, and
no one seems to have the slightest doubt
that the negotiations for peace will re-
suit in a cessation of hostilities.
So far neither of the contending forces
has suffered greatly. Working under Sc
we're strain of the oppressive heat lately
would have been an unusual hardship
and the men think that on this account
perhaps, many lives have been saved by
the strike.
So far as the companies are concerned
they are also in better position for work
now than they were before the strike
Many of the mills have ben repaired and
the conditions Of an increased output
are greatly improved.
1t is true that a computation of cold
figures foots up total loss of $6176,O00
on account of the strike of which i'm
mense sum $3960,000 is charged to the
combine and $2,516,0o0 to the strikers.
But this loss will soon be made up,
owing to the better prices which now
prevail and the improved operating con-
ditions as we'll as the better feeling be-
tween the employer and employe.
President Shaffer and Secretary Will
Jams were both at Amalgamated head
quarters this morning. They maintain
their position of secrecy, however, and

out last night to all the members of the

held in this city tomorrow morning, re-
fused to give any information as to the
probable settlement of the strike.
Secretary Joseph Bishop of the Ohio
board of arbitration reached Amalgam-
ated headquarters about 10 o'clock and
imme diately went into secret confer
ence with President Shaffer.
The conference lasted more than an
hour, and when it was over Colonel
French, Secretary Bishop and William
Collier refused to say anything concern
ing the matter under discussion. Shortly
before noon President shaffer quietly
slipped out of the Office through a rear
door and all efforts to locate him have
so far been fruitless.
There remains little doubt that off,
cials of the United States Steel corpor-
alton are now as anxious to have the big
strike settled as are the strikers. Dur

How to secure the packages from the
child without causing trouble was a mat

The patrolman scratched his head con-

Renniger deliberately took a seat upon
the ground near the child and taking a
bunch of keys from his pocket called for
the babe to approach him.
The child seemed to take to the police
man at once, and he came towards the
blue coat so rapidly that it looked as il
the dynamite and cap would be dropped
in his haste.
The child dropped the contents of his
fat little arms into the policeman's lap

went up from Renniger when he found
himself intact and the explosives in his
possession. He turned the dangerous

- L RENO, O. T., July 29.-One of the
greatest lotteries in history, that
conducted by the federal govern
mGnt in disposing of 10000 quarter sec
tion claims in the Kiowa, Comanche
reservations, was begun here this morn
ing.
No public event in years in the south
west has attracted so much attention
as this one-the initiation of new meth
cd Of dsposing of government lands.
One hundred and sixty-seven thou
sand persons, each with one chance in
13 of winning homestead, watched the
event here in reality, or at distance,
for the applicants come from every
state in the union.
The drawing took place on a platform
built for the purpose in the open air
a few blocks from the center of Ell Reno.
Situated at the foot of several small
hills, which formed a perfect amphithe-
ater, the platform was the cynosure of
thousands Of eyes.
Hundreds of others are still bound
this way. Sunday was spent quietly. But
as night came on and the hour for the
actual drawing approached men and wo-
men, many Of whom had waited pa
tiently for months for the morrow's
event, or had come thousands of miles
at the last moment to participate in it,
became anxious.

task of placing the names of the ap-
plicants in envelopes and of tying them
in bundles ready to be placed in the
wheels, which had been tested for the
last time yesterday afternoon.
The only detail that remained was the
selection of the 10 persons who should
perform the actual drawing out of the
envelopes within the oblong receptacles.
They were young boys of good families
and were named at the last moment.
The placing of the envelopes in the
wheels proved slow work and the ac-
tual drawing was delayed over two
hours.
The first envelope taken from the
wheel contained the name of James r.
Wood of Weatherford. Oklahoma, who
had registered for homestead in the
Lawton district.
Matte H. Reals of Wichita, Kan,
whose birthplace was in Missouri, drew
number two. also in the Lawton dis
trict.
The multitude went frantic over the
announcement, but became quiet almost
instantly and listened intently to hear
the names of the other fortunes.
When Colonel Dyer, the commissioner,
in thunderous tones announced the wo-
as that of Mr.. Wood. 10000 persons
shouted in chorus. "They must get mar
ried."
AS the drawing progressed hundreds
of persons saw their hopes dashed to
the ground, and many pitiful spectacles
were witnessed.

Chicago July ga large number of
the horses in Chicago are said to be af-
fiicted with the grip, and the disease has
taken such a severe form in some locali-
ties that it has been necessary for own
ers to stop working their horses and put
them under the care of veterinary sur

Thus far the disease has not been fatal
to an alarming degree, but it is said that
the utmost care is necessary in order to
prevent other complications setting in

GEN. LYTTLETON
FOR HEAD OF ARMY
British Officer May Succeed Kitchener
as Commander of Forces in
South Africa.
Change Will Not Come, However, Un-
til the End Of the War Is
in Sight.
(By Associated Press.)

London, July 25.-It is freely rumored
that General Lyttleton will succeed Lord
Kitchener as commander n-chief of the
British forces in South Africa.
General Kitchener it may be assumed,
will not be recalled until the end of the
war is at last actually in sight, so
Lyttleton's task will be more passive
and administrative than belligerent.
General Lyttleton did good work under
General Butler in the early days of the
war, but Generals Forestier- Walker and
Methuen are both senior to him.
Neither of these men is, however, like
ly to be promoted, and it must be said
in favor of the choice of Lyttleton that
he has distinguished himself in civil
life. /

EARLY ADJOURNMENT TAKEN
TO ALLOW THE COURT AND COUN-

PERATION.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October s.
Only one session of the Schley court Of
inquiry was held to-day. An adjourn
ment until Monday was taken at one
O'Clock to allow the court and counsel
to recuperate after an arduous weeks
labor Practically the only witness of
the day was Lieutenant Commander
ALBION c. Hodgson, who was navigator
of the flagship Brooklyn during the
campaign of 1885, and almost his en-
tire time was taken up with the read
ing of correspondence between himself
and Admiral Schiey concerning an al
legged colloquy between them during
the battle off Santiago, which the wit
ness was reported to have detailed to
a newspaper correspondent. The cor
respondence has been published and
this fact rendered the proceedings of
comparatively little popular interest.
Lieutenant Doyle was also on the
stand again, but only for the purpose
OF correcting his former testimony.
During the day Judge Advocate
Lemly made another statement con-
corning Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch of
May 20 1898. relating especially to the
Admirals use of the word Santiago.
where it was alleged he had intended
to use the word "Cienfuegos."

LONDON, October 5.-There Is a
flutter in high society to-day owing
to the fact that the Earl Marshal has
issued the rules and regulations gov
erning what is to be worn at the Cor
onation of King Edward next year.
The whole document breathes of the
middle ages, when distinctions In dress
were considered so essential. and the
quaintness of the phraseology in which
the attendance of the nobility of the
United Kingdom is required AT the
solemnity of the royal coronation of
their most sacred majesties," and de-
scrihing the regulations in regard to
dresses and headdresses. Is distinctly
medieval. There is a curious gradua-
tion in the fur trimmings of the robes,
which emphasizes the fine distinctions
existing in the ranks of the aristocraey.
All the peers have been notified that
their robes must be of Crimson velvet
edged with miniver, the cape furred
with miniver, pure and powdered. with
bars or rows of ermine. according to
their degree" Here follow the numer-
ical graduations distinguishing be-
tween the ranks. Barons are allowed
two rows of ermine, viscounts two and
half rows, Earls three rows, Mar
quesses three and a half rows and
Dukes four rows. All the nantes and
robes must be worn over fun court
dress, uniform or regimeEtals.

CLIMAX OF ROMANCE
That Had Decidedly Sensational
Features-West Virginia Girl Mar
ried In Washington.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 5.--A
somewhat unusual love romance was
brought to a elimination in Trinity
Chapel, in Washington, when Charles
A. Williamson, of Nottaway county,
Va. and Miss Bessie Lee Stuckey,
nurse at the Virginia Hospital, in
Richmond. were married by the as
sistant rector, Mr.. Evans on Wednes-
day evening last. The wedding, VIII ich
was a great surprise, was witnessed
only by two girl friends of the bride.
also nurses at the Virginia Hospital,
and by the colored sexton of the
church. The couple came to the city
in the afternoon and left by an even
ing train. They gave their ages as %
years.
Mr.. Williamson belongs to one of
the best families in Southside Virginia,
and Miss Stuckeys people move in the
best society in West Virginia. The
young man proposes to make doctor
of himself, and the prospect is that he
will make a good one. He came to
Richmond a year or two ago to study
medicine at the University College Of
Medicine and soon made the acquaint-
ance of the pretty West Virginia girl,
who was studying nursing at the Vir-
ginia Hospital. 1t was case of love
at first sight. The young student be-
came ardent in his attentions. 1t was
apparent that the pretty nurse liked
her admirer, but for some reason she
did not accept. Last winter, Mr.. Will
hanson created a profound sensation
by walking into the hallway of the
Virginia Hospital and shooting down
the girl he loved. He fired twice, and
would have killed the nurse had not
the resident physician sprung upon
him and, aided by others. taken the
pistol away from MIN. One of the
shots entered Miss Strckey's arm and
the other her side, near the heart. The
young lady soon recovered, there was
no disposition 10 press the case and
Mr.. Williamson got off with fine of
5000. Miss Stuckey had accepted re-
sponsible position at the Virginia Hos
pital for this winter and apparently
had no intention of marriage. Her
husband expects to pursue his medical
studies in Baltimore.
