In the presence OF large number Of
officers from the garrisonand neighbor-

Germans In 1895, at a cost OF more
than $4,000, was blown UP recently
by the military engineers. Originally
intended as a post Of observation over
the neighboring country. It was after

a watch-tower was incompatible with

| Pittsburg, Aug. 4.--Judging by indi,
cations that are practically facts peace
or war in steel troubles will be am
nounced from New York city to-day.
When the Amalgamated association
executive board adjourned last evening
President Shaffer announced that am
other meeting would be held to-day.
There will probably be meeting here
to-day Of a portion of the board, but
the national officers will be In New
York. They left for that city last
night. The circumstances leading up
to this unexpected trip, while not Of
fcially made known, are evident
enough to substantiate the story which
follows:
During the day many kilograms were
received at the association conference
rooms, the last coming Just before adj
journment. and it was answered
promptly. This answer was in all
probability the announcement to the
New York people that the trip would
be made by the officials last night. cars
! rying out an arrangement entered into
at Yery1 Preston's rooms In the Hotel
Henry a short time before. At about
4.15 p. m. Messrs. Shaffer, Williams
and Chappelle went to Mr.. Preston's
rooms and We're closeted with him for
about thirty minutes. The UNDER
standing is that at this meeting Mi.
Preston made known the combinations
only concession in the matter Of re-
opening the wage conference where 1t
left off three weeks ago. This conces-
sion was in the shape Of a demand
that IL a new conference is granted II
must be specifically stated before
hand what is expected to be accom-
plished, what ground is to be covered
and what companies arctic participate.
This brings the matter up to the
Amalgamated association, and the mis-
sion of its high officers to New York
is doubtless to convince the steel peo-
pie there that new conference IS es-
sential to peace and an an1icable settle
ment OF the strike troubles.
The conference yesterday was rep
etition Of the others, the strictest kind
of secrecy being maintained as to the
happenings inside the room, and the
rogress being made had to be guessed

as well as in purpose. a rich and gem

each cottage will constitute separate

the public schools as other girls do,
and will have their own outside diver

will also have in the home a thorough

a suitable age, each will receive spe-

field of work she may seiect--teaching,
dressmaking, millinery, typewriting,
art or music-so that when she leaves
the home each girl will be equipped
to earn her own living. One OF the
most attractive characteristics OF the
undertaking is its lack of institutional
restraint and the large individual Tree
