iinal vote on the question. The news
that came out of the West cheered the
strikers throughout the districts in this
vicinity as no other development since
the labor var was declared. In their
enthusiasm they u on favorable
action ut Milwaukee tomorrow, and,
carrying their hopes still farther, they
say they will yet win Chicago over.
These successes, they declare with ap-
percent confidence, will make them
masters of the situation and win the
strike.
The steel operators. on the other
hand, say the strikers are nearly Mt the
flood tide OF their success, and that
when the ebb III it can never be
stopped. They do not seem to he dis
turbed by recent events, and with Il
confidence equal to that of the strik-
ers talk of the certainty of ultimate
success. They assert that popular sen
timent has never been behind the strik-
ers, and that the interest which was
once aroused by the contest is quickly
waning. They say they are more than
holding their w in the %non-union
plants that were unaffected or have
been started since the strike began,
and are %perfectinG plans for re open
Ing several plants now idle. They also
say that many of their men, particu-
larly at McKeesport, Wheeling and
Bellnire, were forced out by intimida-
tion, and will come back as soon AS
the excitement dies out and their safe

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 17.-There was
great joy ut union headquarters to-day
over reports from Joliet of the COM
plete tie-up there this morning of the
steel trust plants and encouraging
news from other strike centers.
The employees of the steel corpora
ton Mt Milwaukee will vote again to-
morrow ON the question of obeying the
strike order, and II is expected that,
Influenced by the action of the Anal
gamated men mt Joliet, they will go
out.
The last mill of the tube company at
McKeesport was forced to close down
to-day.
Notwithstanding the gains made by
the union forces, managers of the steel
corporation declare confidently that
the tide will soon turn in their favor
and n general rush back TO work will
take place.
1.-The spread of the strike, said"
President Shaffer 30 night, has not
surprised me. 1t is not eve up to my
expectations. BY this | do not mean
that | am disappointed by the way the
men have come out. but | am certain
that more will come out in n short
time. All those who are out are going
to stay out, too. There Is no reason
for believing that the men in McKees-
port will break away from their pres
ent position, in spite of the stories to
the contrary. Other mills will he
closed before many days, and the
spread of the strike will go on with the
same regularity that has characterized
IL in the past
The center of interest in the steel
strike to-day shifted to the West,
where Joliet finally swung into line

twenty-eight in the bunch. this count
having been made last summer.

had the buffalo hides six or eight
years, Frank Bartlett says hat n man
living in Cripple Creek, whose name
he would not mention, killed the buf.
falo, and that a man now living in
Colorado Springs brought them out OF
lost Park in his wagon and turned
them over to him.
The animals found are n COW, n bull.
n ~two-year-old bull and n buffalo calf
